Chapter 65 There is no future between us.
"You don't want to tell me again that you didn't say 'I like you' because you were shy, but actually you did like me, right?"
"This kind of boring excuse is no longer meaningful."
Even the most patient person would not want to be put aside again when they should be receiving glory and honor.
You understand that was my only chance to gain recognition, yet you couldn't even utter those three words. How can you expect me to believe your so-called "liking"?
"I just feel that I chose the wrong person before, so this time, I should choose the right person to protect."
Rhodes breathed a sigh of relief.
He hadn't spoken such a long string of words in a long time, so the moment he finished speaking, all the knots in his heart were untied, and he felt extremely happy.
Lilith, on the other hand, was unable to move.
She already knew the truth of everything, and there was no way to deceive herself that the truth was not like this anymore.
Yes.
Like her, Rhodes was reborn with his memories intact.
Rhodes didn't look for her in the dungeon at the beginning because he wanted to avoid her.
He avoided her request because he didn't want to get close to her.
He hated her, hated this despicable woman...
Because in her previous life she failed to confess her feelings to him, she hurt him, which is why he no longer wants to get close to her.
But the problem is, this isn't right, this isn't right...
Why did it turn out like this?
She wasn't trying to use Rhodes; she just wanted to be with him in the end. She was just a little foolish for not being able to say what she wanted to say.
A fierce sense of regret welled up inside her, along with the hurt she felt from Rod's misunderstanding of her.
"That's not how it is, let me explain, I didn't mean to take advantage of you...!" Lilith hurriedly reached out and grabbed Rhodes again.
This time, she moved very quickly.
With a speed boost of four times, Rhodes had nowhere to hide.
"Let me go, Lilith. Do you want to settle this with force?" Rhodes frowned, his tone unpleasant as he tried to shake her off. "Even if you force me, I won't help you."
"Wait, listen to me, listen to me, Rhodes..."
If she had just a little bit of time, just a little bit of time, she would definitely be able to explain, to explain clearly...
clear……?
Her frenzied emotions froze in that instant.
Yes.
How can she explain things clearly?
Now, there is no longer a shared path for the two of them.
It's like two people who have drifted apart; no matter how hard you try to get back together, it's no use.
Her pupils trembled, and only at this moment did she realize the consequences of failing to utter those three words on the altar.
Everyone thought that Rhodes would receive the highest honor and stand by her side to receive eternal blessings;
But she proved them wrong with her actions and her despicable character.
She made Rhodes a laughingstock in the story, and made everyone openly watch this joke.
And that is the truth.
Rhodes chuckled. "In the end, you can't even say it yourself, can you?"
"No, I really am..." Lilith grabbed Rhodes's hand, shaking her head frantically.
She felt anxious and wanted to explain, but in the end, she realized that she couldn't explain anything at all.
Because all possibilities, all her correct ideas, were treated as lies by Rhodes.
That's not how it is...that's not how it is!
At that moment, her almond-shaped eyes welled up with tears, and she hurriedly called out:
"I really like you, I don't want to use you...!"
At this moment, all of Lilith's past memories surged up.
After Rhodes was repeatedly injured for her sake, she took up sewing again and made amulets for him.
After she truly fell in love with him, she took him to the most beautiful stargazing spot in the world to enjoy the starry sky.
This was her most cherished childhood dream.
The starry sky is the one that guided her as she grew up, whether it was her master or the starry sky itself.
It represents hope, the future, and all that is entrusted to it;
So, she made the decision when she was very, very young, when she was just a tiny little bit of an adult.
If I ever find someone I really, really like, I'll take them to see the stars.
The same is true.
By doing so, she accurately told Rod the story.
He understood, yes, he understood, he liked him, and he didn't want to take advantage of him.
She raised her head, her eyes brimming with tears, and spoke in a pleading tone.
"Rhodes, I've sewn an amulet for you."
"Then, I took you to see the most beautiful starry sky in the world, as I've mentioned before..."
The girl had already broken down.
She didn't care about saving face, nor did she have the right to mention her terrible personality.
Because when faced with utter defeat, even the most foolish person will frantically try to salvage the situation.
But it's all meaningless, because she buried it all with her own hands long ago.
"Amulet?" Rhodes' eyes were calm. "But didn't you say that amulets are just worthless things? You can just give them away whenever you want?"
"Hmm...?" Lilith's pupils trembled at that moment.
Her heart skipped a beat.
"wait……"
"Enough." Rhodes forcefully shook off her hand. "So you're saying everything you just said was a lie? You lied to get me to accept the amulet, is that it?"
"But if these are lies, how can I know that what you said before was true?"
How can I know whether the words you can't say are true or false, or whether the words you say are true or false?
"A liar who can't offer anything, that's you, Lilith."
"That's enough. Let's stop this and not make things any more complicated."
"If you're willing to temporarily cooperate with me to kill the Dragon God for personal gain, then I welcome you anytime."
"But don't think I'll stay by your side as a fool, because this time I'm going to ascend to godhood myself."
Rhodes's words fell one by one, striking Lilith's heart.
What is Lilith thinking at this moment?
Regret? Panic? Loss of composure?
neither.
She could sense that she no longer had any chance of gaining Rhodes's favor.
When she faced such a situation, her consciousness had become extremely poor.
A sense of resentment welled up inside her, a dull ache mixed with a bitter taste, and her heart tightened. She bit her lip hard.
When the pain of loss surged back into her heart, she simply couldn't control her tears.
Why is this happening...?
She clearly never intended to use Rhodes; she simply wanted to be with him in this life and didn't want anything else.
In the end, everything seemed so broken and dilapidated; she had lost everything.
However, these emotions meant nothing to Rhodes.
Whether it's regret or an attempt to make amends,
He knew he couldn't get stuck with Lilith.
