Chapter 51: Planning and Call
Arren only stayed in the palace for about two hours before returning home. Unfortunately, because it was inconvenient for Spade to leave the palace at the time, he did not personally send Arren home, instead entrusting his safety to Levin.
He wasn’t as clingy, either, because he was aware of their identities, particularly Spade’s. Even so, his lips couldn’t stop smiling. They already confirmed their relationship, so, fuck, he was officially taken! Arren would smile like an idiot every time he remembered their kiss and confession.
Arren still finds it surreal to finally have a special someone close to his heart after not experiencing romance for over thirty years in both of his lifetimes. Wow, so that was really how it was. Now he understood how love could sometimes change people’s perspectives on life.
Like now, Arren was extremely busy squeezing his memory and brain cells for the details that he knew in the storyline. Since he was part of the storm anyway, why would he need to be passive? Even after all those years of running away, he never imagined he’d still end up in this situation. Was this the fate of transmigrators like him, to be busybodies?
He would, however, adhere to his principle. That unless his intervention was required, Arren would not make any obvious changes, especially for the protagonists. That was their problem!
Arren really wanted to be a little extra, okay? If not for Spade, the incident that night, and the truth about his mother’s death, why would he concern himself? So, Rave and Levin should just trust their protagonist halo; Arren didn’t have time to care about them.
It wasn’t him being a total jerk. In the first place, they were not that close. Part of it was also because he was afraid of the butterfly effect of changing the storylines and not knowing what would happen. Arren’s memories were incomplete, to begin with, and the few details that remained would be useless if so much had changed.
Arren sat cross-legged in the chair, gripping the pen and staring at the notebook. He frowned and shifted his gaze to the side, tracing the mini calendar with his fingers. "So, the major event is two months away?" he mumbled.
The major event was only about the Moonlight Festival, which was Spade’s first real appearance in the novel. Arren was only concerned with anything in Spade’s storyline, which he was now a part of, and anything in the protagonists’ scenes, unless their scenes had anything to do with them, in which case Arren would look into it.
