Chapter 158: True Winner VIII
After their moment of shared affection ended, Ophelia remained silent in Bahamut’s arms.
Her master, the man she loved, would soon become someone else’s husband. The truth weighed heavily on her, but she accepted it. Ophelia knew how remarkable he was and understood that he needed someone extraordinary by his side.
However, the uncertainty of what came next troubled her most. What if the man she loved, now another woman’s husband, forgot her?
‘I don’t want to be abandoned. At least… in some corner of his heart, I hope there will still be a place for me.’
Though she knew Bahamut’s feelings for her were genuine in the present, she couldn’t help but wonder what would happen once he built a family. Would she never again experience his love the way she did now? The future looked unclear from Ophelia’s point of view, filling her with a deep sense of unease.
Just as these thoughts overwhelmed her, Bahamut’s voice broke the silence.
“…I’ve been thinking.”
“Yes?” Ophelia asked, lifting her gaze to meet his.
His eyes held hers with a quiet sincerity. “I’ve been considering this for a while. No matter how much I think about it, this seems like the best thing I can do for you, Ophelia.”
