Chapter 1738 - Sins (3) (1/2)

Dyon unclenched his jaw. An eerie calm overtook every fiber of his body.

Isla who was hidden within Ri's robes trembled, pulling on Centauress' arm. The three small fairies looked toward each other but didn't say anything. They simply didn't trust their voices.

'Evangeline.'

Dyon attempted to communicate with the Life Saving Jade hidden deep within his mind's eye. It was a difficult task considering he hadn't even noticed it was there before, but now that he knew there was something to look for, it was marginally easier.

'Little Dyon? It's not good for you to contact me like this.'

Evangeline had planned on ignoring Dyon's voice. She had her own troubles. If she didn't, why wouldn't she stay by Dyon's side and ensure that no harm ever came to him? If Dyon had a Higher Existence in his inner world, he could walk through the mortal plane practically unimpeded. But, in the end, she didn't have the heart to.

'If you can, could you possibly stop Amphorae, Zaire and Little Lyla from continuing on their course? It's too dangerous to continue with the first plan. I have no way to contact them quickly.'

'This…'

'If it's too inconvenient for you, forget about it. I don't want to harm you either.'

Evangeline trembled. The calmness in Dyon's voice made her feel incredibly uncomfortable. This disposition… It wasn't something youthful Dyon should have. Her Dyon, her real husband from the future, was like this. But, it took him several hundreds of thousands of years of tempering himself repeatedly to reach this level of calm. Just what happened to make Dyon like this? Had she changed too much?

'No, I can do it.' Evangeline said firmly.

Dyon shook his head. 'Forget it. I will be honest with you Evangeline. I don't have the same feelings for you that I do for Madeleine, Ri, Clara and Amphorae. I'm also not sure what it is that my future self owes you. But, I accept that it's me all the same. No matter what, from this day forth, you are my wife. You are under my protection, not the other way around!'

'Little Dyon you…!'

It was too early. The seal she placed on Dyon's mind should have stopped him from deducing her origins no matter how obvious the evidence made it seem. But, somehow, maybe only just recently, Dyon broke whatever barrier was remaining. This only meant one thing: Dyon had stabilized enough that Evangeline's seal recognized that the truth would no longer harm him.

'How much time do you have left…?' Dyon suddenly asked.

Evangeline was panicking. Dyon was too intelligent. The moment the seal disappeared, he deduced too many things at once. It left her, a mighty Higher Existence, completely fl.u.s.tered.

Biting her lip, Evangeline hesitated. 'I… I have a few more years. I have just enough time to pass on what remains of my legacy to Rose and leave behind a few protective measures for you.
