This conversation with my father-in-law was more successful than I thought. To be honest, I don't think he'll be so cooperative.
… I have to say, I'm a little disappointed. I was in the mood to slap some faces and show my strength before making him bend his knees.
Hiks, what can I do? Not all of my fathers-in-law are assholes.
Therefore, I have a lot of free time now.
What am I supposed to do? Should I go to Clarice, Lluvia, and Nana? Or maybe go back to my mansion and throw a big S3xs party?
Thinking about it, now that I'm here, I should visit Iris and give her some good news.I'm sure she'll be happy and maybe I can enjoy a nice night with her.
After deciding on my actions, I got ready to step across the space and go to her room.
Suddenly my expression changed.
Suddenly, I felt a strange fluctuation in the laws of the world.
I recognize these fluctuations very clearly. After all, it was something that I spent a lot of effort learning to recognize.
These are fluctuations caused when fate is manipulated strongly.
And I only know one person with such abilities over fate.
Ysnays.
Thinking about it, I haven't seen it recently.
Closing my eyes, I used my senses to search for his aura.
A few seconds later, I found him.
Without hesitation, I stepped across space, appearing on a mountain peak thousands of kilometers away.
In front of me, a goddess-like woman sat on the ground, staring at the stars with a complicated expression.
“... So you came, yes. As expected, you feel it. I think I have hidden it very well this time.”
I grunt. “I have suffered a lot because of your control over fate. So, I'm very sensitive to him now.”
Ysnay turned to look at me and smiled.
“Can you sit next to me? It's been a long time since we last looked at stars like this.”
I hesitated a little, but in the end, I nodded.
As I sat beside her, Ysnay's smile turned bright and she leaned her head on my shoulder.
"… It's good." He said with a happy expression. "How come I want to be with you like this forever."
I'm speechless. Both Ysnay and I knew it was almost impossible.
In the end, he had already lost his chance a long time ago.
Sighing, I decided to go straight to the core.
“... What are you planning, Ysnay?”
Ysnay looked at me and pouted. "Am I someone who only knows how to plot against others in your eyes?"
I did not answer, but my answer was clearly visible in my eyes.
Ysnay's expression became lethargic. He then looked at the stars again with a bitter smile.
“... Willian, I love you. I really love you. I love you so much, even more than my own life.”
“And that's exactly the reason I know you're planning something.You know you don't have a chance, Ysnay. That's not possible. Thus, you will definitely do something in the end.You will fight for the last time to grab that last opportunity that quickly passes.”.
Ysnay smiled sadly.
“You know me too well. Maybe you are right. Maybe I'm really planning something.”
“... I will not tolerate you hurting the person I love. If you do, I will do everything in my power to destroy you completely, even if I have to sacrifice myself for that purpose.”
Ysnay chuckled softly. still her head leaned against my shoulder, she then raised her hand and stroked my cheek gently.
“You don't need to worry, Willian. Like I said, I love you more than anything in the world. How could I think of hurting you? As for the person you love .. The last thing I don't want is to get more of your hate."
I looked at Ysnay's face and noticed that her eyes were full of sincerity.
They were completely clear and transparent, like a lake. I felt like I could see through all of his thoughts.
However, I knew it was nothing more than an illusion.
If he wanted to lie to me, I wouldn't be able to find him.
That was the reason why I couldn't believe it in the least.
Aware of my thoughts, Ysnay's expression turned sad.
“... Really, it looks like I have no chance.”
"Yes, you're not."
“But I'm not giving up yet. Right now, you are closer to your goal than ever before. This life is my last chance to make you open your heart to me again. And.. I think I still have a chance.”
“Is that?” I can only chuckle slowly.
Ysnay doesn't mind my laughter. Instead, he looked back at the stars.
“In a moment, you will ask for my help.” He insists.
“... You seem very confident.” I said.
"Yes. Because I know you better than anyone. In this universe, I'm sure no one knows you better than me.”
I did not reply to Ysnay and instead looked at the stars as well.
… There are several reasons that make the Immortal so lonely.
They do not trust.
They're very strong.
They are stubbornly irrational.
And they're very old.
Thus, the Immortal was lonely.
They were innately in disbelief, so they were unable to trust other immortal beings that had the strength to fight and possibly kill them.
They were extremely strong, so their strength became a hindrance that drove away those weaker than them.
They were extremely stubborn, so when the two Immortals met, their ideals or goals would most likely eventually clash.
And they're very old, so they can't relate to humans, whose whole life is just a small part of their life.
I'm a very special case. Every time I reincarnated, I erased all the feelings-related memories from my previous life. So, I reincarnated as an empty slate in terms of feelings and can relate a little more to humans.
But even that has its limits.
Thus, generally, an Immortal only trusted one type of person.
Those who grow with them, those who are always with them, who overcome many obstacles with them, finally achieve immortality with them.
And Ysnay and I were like that.
In one of my reincarnations, I gave everything for him. I love him, teach him, protect him, and guide him.
Finally, one day, he managed to achieve Eternity like me.
Back then, I thought I had achieved my dream.I thought we could be a happy couple, wandering forever through infinite dimensions.
It was the happiest day of my life in hundreds of lives.
… Until when he stabbed the dagger in my heart on the same night, just because he couldn't allow the existence of someone who couldn't be manipulated his fate.
Because his ambition did not allow him to be under someone else.
From then on, I couldn't believe it anymore.
Because the Immortal is stubborn.
Because Immortal beings rarely change.
Because he betrayed me once, and I will always live to keep that from betraying me again.
… Hehe, actually, right now, he's trying to pull me in quickly.
That night, I remained seated beside Ysnay, with his head on my shoulder as we stared at the stars.
But no matter how close our bodies were, our hearts could not unite any further.
