Chapter 609 - 540 Time and Memory_2
Withered Rose had thought that these so-called pasts had already rotted away within their enclosures, never expecting them to resurface in her most vulnerable moment.
The golden-haired girl, Rose, seemed telepathically connected to her spirit. Without needing her to speak, she knew what she was thinking and continued, "It doesn’t work like that. The length of time has nothing to do with the depth of memories. Do you remember the knight novels we read? The princess that the young boy saw in his youth, even if it was just a distant glimpse under the moonlight, was unforgettable even decades later. When he heard that the kingdom was in trouble, the knight rode his old horse to the battlefield."
"Decades of life couldn’t overshadow that single glance the knight had taken. Hatred has made your centuries feel like a single day. On the day the Ryan Royalty fell, do you remember how much effort you had put in? These day-to-day torments might not compare to those memories of your initial decades."
After hearing this, Withered Rose felt an indescribable sensation rising in her heart; she even felt a tightness in her chest.
As a lich, how could she possibly feel tightness?
She had long forgotten about breathing.
Yet, the feeling was so real, as if a large stone was stuffed inside her chest, continuously pressing against her bones.
Withered Rose painfully clutched her chest, her body curling up, enduring a type of agony she hadn’t felt in many years.
Finally, amid violent coughing, she opened her mouth and inhaled a breath of air.
The fragrant scent startled Withered Rose as she widened her eyes in shock. She could actually smell, how refreshingly new was this?
