Chapter 186: Too much information in one sitting is not good for one’s sanity
Haa...
I had no idea how I should feel about this. Should I feel glad that I finally know why I suffered my whole life? Or should I get pissed at whoever made my--our--soul split like that?
There were a lot of things that need explanation, but I wasn’t sure if my brain--and more importantly my heart--could take so much in one sitting.
As I was sighing from the stuffy feelings, Natha’s hands return to envelope mine, and he leaned forward to press our forehead together.
"God--you have no idea how much I want to bring you over here that time," he said it in such a weak and vulnerable voice, in a volume that only allowed me to hear it. And then, when he spoke again, it was laden with frustration. "I knew we could look for a cure here. We can use alchemy, we can use magic, we can try everything..." he gritted his teeth for a few seconds, and then sighed. "But I didn’t know how to do that."
He pulled away--just slightly, just so we could see into each other’s eyes. "When I asked His Majesty about it, he just told me it wasn’t in his authority--it wasn’t even in the Lord’s authority."
"Oh...so you don’t know who moved my soul here?"
He simply shook his head. Ah, I thought it might be the Demon God, since he sent Natha to meet me. But then again, the one who sent my grandmother across might be another God. Hmm...
"Oh, wait--don’t tell me that the reason you have Amrita..."
At my guess, he gave me a deep, charming smile, and I couldn’t help but gasp at that.
"Well, I have to make sure we have the cure in case you haven’t healed when you get here," he shrugged.
