Chapter 78 - 78: “Its Just a Dream." (1/2)

Even if Eu can foresee the future, she decided not to peek on her fate. She focused her actions on the things that will benefit Astra more than her own welfare.

Besides, she doesn't need confirmation of what the consequences of her actions are. She knew she had to pay a heavy price for intervening in these events.

Still, she is determined what she is doing is wasn't for naught.

She can feel that she had defied heaven and earth to be in that place. All this time, she only watches everything unfold.

This time, she chose to make a difference.

Despite not having the memories, she had chosen this path. Everything else was just the consequence she had to face.

At least, that is what Eu believes. Though, she also hopes she is mistaken on this assumption.

She smiles as she looks at the Divine Lord Foeni. It doesn't really matter to her what the future will hold.

She is happy living these moments with everyone, and she will do her best for them. Whatever the consequence.

Meanwhile, Ravikanth is immersed in his own world. He can hardly explain himself without looking like an old pervert who exploited her innocence.

Eu was eight years old back then. Even if she is an immortal in disguise, it doesn't exempt him, and he did it while he has no idea she is one.

He simply just wanted to beat himself for his malicious actions.

After some consideration, he decided to break his silence and finally spoke his thoughts. He has to face the consequence of his actions.

Besides, the Blood Contract won't even be created if Eu didn't profess her feelings back then. Somehow, he is relieved that she also feels the same way.

He just has to be honest and confess his long-kept secret feelings for her.

He doesn't completely understand it himself, but he is attracted to her the first moment he laid eyes on her. He simply can't let go of her.

”Little Eu, I know it was wrong to deceive you. That day, I borrowed your ritual knife and stole blood from you. It was inappropriate to forge a bond without your consent...” Ravikanth began.

He tried to tell her everything he did. He was also felt guilty for not able to say to her about it, but for some reason, he is happy.

”I can't promise you anything. I failed you so many times. I am often insecure, selfish, and irrational…” he continues.

Ravikanth states his negative traits. He doesn't want to sound boasting if he begins with his positive qualities.

Besides, Eu has achieved exemplar feats. He simply feels unworthy of her, but he doesn't want to give up as well.

He wants to stand by Eu's side and protect her. Ravikanth simply wants to there and support her.

Though, he doesn't really know how he could do all that if Eu seems perfectly fine without him. He wants to lay out his cards and try.

”Brother Ravi, why are you stating all of your bad traits? Do you really want to discourage me and reconsider?” Eu curiously asked.

Why is he so pessimistic? From the start, she has been very clear with her feelings and accepted all his flaws.

The Blood Contract won't be forge if one of them is not sincere enough to be blessed by the Heavens.

Was it really that unclear to him? All of those things he stated don't matter to her already.

Ravikanth turned to Eu and witness how composed she is on accepting everything. Does she know everything beforehand?

He started to drown in a thousand possibilities regarding this scenario.

Do they really have a chance?

Not long, Eu broke her silence and asked. Her voice brought him back to his senses, and the question surprises him.

”What if I am not Eunomia, and I am someone else? Will you still consider my feelings?” Eu asked.

He was stunned and didn't consider it. What if she is not, and he made a mistake?

He didn't anticipate that possibility but gave it a thought. If Eu and Eunomia are a different person, who would he choose?

”I will still choose you, Eu. Eunomia is my past, but you are my future. It doesn't matter who you are. I will choose you.” Ravikanth confidently responded.

Eu smiles as he accepts his response. Either way, she can feel their destinies are intertwined, but how it will end depends on him.

There are thousands and millions of possibilities of how everything will turn out. It not always favorable, but everything will be plausible.

Still, she will accept whatever path he will decide for them.

”People's futures are different. They change, and they can't easily be predicted. Still, I am entrusting my destiny with you, Brother Ravi...” Eu professes her feelings.

Ravikanth somehow finds her words strange. He can help feeling sadness in Eu's tone.

For some reason, he feels guilty, and the dream came back to him —that dark, desolated, lonely world…

'Please, take it back. This is not what I wanted.'

There is a chilling sensation running through his veins as he thought. His fear starts to consume him.

'Why did I suddenly recall that place? Is this not meant to be...? Was it me...? Am I a danger to her well being…? Then…' Ravikanth thought.

Eu can feel his agony as she bitterly smiles. She doesn't want to alarm him as she reaches unto him.
