Book 7: Chapter 264: Jade (3)
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtJade too picked up on this subtlety. She knew Ri very well, not because they interacted often, but because she could see into the minds of those around her.
Ri had a lofty goal and a great secret. Although Jade didn’t know exactly what that secret was, she knew that she carried a burden far greater than theirs. Since when did the cold, stand offish Ri grow a caring heart?
That uncomfortable feeling in her chest grew uncontrollably. She couldn’t help but think of the night she met Dyon. historical
‘Didn’t we connect very well on that night? Why is it that the barriers he had up for me are slowly being taken down by this girl? Is she really so much better than me? Aren’t I more beautiful?’
Jade’s heart was in turmoil. Before, she had felt that Dyon’s actions were just fine. After all, even though he flirted wantonly, he only had one woman in his heart. That made Jade place him on a pedestal…
In a world where men having multiple wives was nothing special, Jade wanted to see if Dyon was worthy of her making such a sacrifice. What she didn’t expect was for the man she had finally been moved by, the man whose thoughts were finally pure enough for her to open her heart to, suddenly didn’t seem that special anymore.
Jade didn’t believe that she was crazy for feeling these things about Dyon after just a single meeting.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAfter almost 19 years of life, she had interacted with so many people. In fact, she had led campaigns before, meeting all the geniuses of their entire universe. Whether it be their Crown Prince Lionel, or the Crown Prince of the Aumen Family, or even the geniuses of the grand Uidah Clan, none of them moved her.
All of them, in one way or another, had a sick and demented soul. This helped Jade close herself off from their feelings, not being moved in the least.
But Dyon was the first… He was the first to stare at her and not see a pretty face and a grand set of breasts. He was the first to take a liking to her not for her beauty, but for her charisma and quick wittedness.
So why was this man that she had taken so long to find not allowing her in, but instead this bland Ri Acacia who had an average appearance even by human standards, let alone elvin? Why?…
Suddenly, Dyon looked toward Jade and smiled. All of the negative emotions that had been brewing floated away like a fragrant wind.
