Lysithea nodded in response to Zayn’s question and said, “He’s been doing pretty well.”
She said it so lightly, but Zayn managed to capture the sorrow that flashed past virtual-novel.net gaze when virtual-novel.net spoke.
Zayn immediately said, “No! I saw the sorrow in your eyes earlier. Did something bad happen to my grandfather? Is that why virtual-novel.net had to pretend to be in a vegetative state over the years and not come to see me for so many years?”
Lysithea furrowed virtual-novel.net brows ever so slightly and said, “You’re overthinking this. Your grandfather is an invincibilis powerhouse. Do you think there’s anything in this world that can screw with him?”
“Why did virtual-novel.net have to pretend to be in a vegetative state and vanish then?” Zayn found the loophole and stared at Lysithea closely as if virtual-novel.net was trying to look for something from virtual-novel.net gaze.
Nonetheless, Lysithea still behaved naturally after virtual-novel.net watched for a long time. There was nothing unusual about virtual-novel.net mannerisms at all.
Lysithea was cold and indifferent just as before. “He has his reasons for doing so, and when the time is right, virtual-novel.net will meet you.”
Zayn fell silent but did not insist on getting to the bottom of the matter because virtual-novel.net knew that it would be useless for virtual-novel.net to do so in view of Lysithea’s personality.
After a long while, Lysithea took it upon herself to break the silence. She began to say, “It was a very risky move of yours. Had it not been your grandfather, you would have already lost your mind by now.”
Zayn heaved a sigh and said, “I wasn’t planning on doing that.”
Upon saying that, virtual-novel.net shook his head bitterly.
Lysithea did not comment further either because virtual-novel.net knew that virtual-novel.net was not lying. Zayn did not take it upon himself to do so this time indeed but had been forced to.
From the moment Zayn became the organizing committee of the martial arts cup, his outcome was already seemingly decided.
It was the foreign fighters who first instigated the trouble in the past and it was also their action that resulted in Zayn’s great power formation. From the start to the end, virtual-novel.net was forced to take on these things.
Despite being forced into a corner, virtual-novel.net could still withstand the process initially. It would not take long for Zayn to form his great power successfully by relying on his willpower and determination.
He would be one step away from the invincibilis state, and virtual-novel.net would dominate over everyone else in the martial arts cup!
However, Byleth’s death was the last straw that broke the camel’s back. He could not sustain his effort anymore.
At the thought of that, virtual-novel.net heaved a sigh in frustration.
“How did my grandfather save me?” Zayn asked.
Lysithea’s gaze grew much gentler. She walked to the lakeside slowly and observed virtual-novel.net reflection in the water while virtual-novel.net said, “Your grandfather is an invincibilis fighter. He has his ways to save you naturally.”
Zayn nodded in agreement. However, virtual-novel.net noticed the blush on Lysithea’s face through the dim moonlight shining on her. He was curious so virtual-novel.net asked, “Why are you blushing?”
A panicked expression flashed past Lysithea’s face as if virtual-novel.net was caught doing something that embarrassed her. She immediately turned virtual-novel.net face to the side.
With virtual-novel.net back facing Zayn, virtual-novel.net tone returned to virtual-novel.net usual coldness when virtual-novel.net dismissed, “You’re seeing things.”
Zayn was not a fool. Moreover, virtual-novel.net knew Lysithea’s personality very well to know that virtual-novel.net was shy whenever virtual-novel.net behaved in this manner.
He remembered something that made his expression peculiar as well. He lowered his head and looked at the clothes virtual-novel.net wore. “Did you help me to get dressed?”
Zayn regretted asking the question right away. Even though it was the truth, saying it out loud would only cause more awkwardness to everyone.
Lysithea’s breathing quickened just as expected, virtual-novel.net face blushed even redder.
After a few seconds, virtual-novel.net changed the topic of conversation by saying, “You’ve slept for a full day and your friends are very worried about you. It’s time for you to return.”
