Reincarnated as incubus: I didn't mean to seduce you!-Chapter 718 - 229 Elanna’s Embrace, Conveying Real Warmth (10K)_3
"Can you stop filming, this really feels too excessive," she said.
However, under the man's insistence, the girl hesitated for a long time before her bright, favorable eyes lit up as if with a glow, almost smiling yet pleading:
"It's because I like you that I allow this, just make sure not to show the video to others!"
Well… The result is that now a whole bunch of people have seen it.
If you ask if there's something wrong with the girl…
There certainly is.
Why couldn't she use her not-so-sharp little brain to think for a moment that this so-called act of love, actually trampling on someone else's dignity, could truly prove that another person loves her?
No, faced with such a person, you should run as far away as possible!
Or perhaps, make him leave far behind by yourself; that's the choice a girl should make.
Yet, if it really is love clouding the brain, anyone could lose their reason.
Logically, Kael would undoubtedly think that the girl lacks the ability to think for herself.
But from a personal emotional perspective…
The girl, who clearly exhibits some characteristics of a giving personality, has no reasons worthy of criticism emotionally.
When deep affection is treated as mere sycophancy, it's destined that many avoidable tragedies will happen as people's thoughts change, leading to these misfortunes.
If the person holding the evidence is even a scoundrel, being discredited or even socially ostracized is indeed just the norm.
In severe cases, one might get stuck in a swirl of public opinion, unable to extract oneself, and might quietly end one's life in a dark corner someday—that too would be normal.
Kael looked deeply at Senior Sister Lily and finally sighed, saying:
"Senior Sister Lily, do you remember how I responded when you confessed your feelings for the first time?"
Lily was silent for a moment; her memory seemed to drift back several years.
Back in the yet unconquered Dungeon "Twisted Jungle" of Lancaster, she had mustered the courage to make her first confession in her life.
At that time, Kael had a tender smile on his face and said:
"Confessions should be more initiated by boys; it's not good to have the girl confess."
Back then, she truly thought Kael would say "I like you, so how about we try being together!"
…or something like that.
But Kael seriously refused.
Lily's face showed a hint of nostalgia mixed with a tinge of regret, as she softly swallowed her breath and said:
"Back then, you told me, 'So I'll pretend I didn't hear your confession today, sorry, Senior Sister Lily, I won't let anyone know about this.'
Honestly, it was a big hit to me, being a lively young girl to hear such an unhesitant yet gentle rejection… It really felt like my heart was breaking…
In the words of the Undead, Kael, you truly are a thorough heartbreaker!"
Kael shook his head and said, "Perhaps back then, I indeed gave a response that normally shouldn't have been made…
That you, Senior Sister Lily, couldn't let go for a long time shows there's much more for me to learn.
Of course, that's not the most important thing…"
Kael said gravely.
Lily subconsciously lifted her head, looking into Kael's profound eyes, wondering what response he would give her this time.
Another unhesitant rejection?
Kael shook his head and said, "Do you see the snow outside?"
Following Kael's pointing finger, her gaze shifted to the window.
The snow had gradually grown heavier, blanketing the castle in a layer of wintry white.
"It's truly beautiful!" she said instinctively.
"Winter has come, and spring won't be far away.
Every spring, Lancaster's snow melts.
But Senior Sister Lily, the snow doesn't melt because it pleads for spring; it melts because it feels the time has come, finally the moment it believes it should naturally melt.
No matter how much the children playing with snowballs outside wish it wouldn't melt, it still does what it needs to do—melt, nourish the soil, and wait for the time next year when all things spring to life."
Lily pouted, unhappy, and said, "Knowledge doesn't lie; it just melts because it gets warm, that's all."
Kael shook his head and said, "The warming is the opportunity, the melting is the outcome, you know that; I'm not talking about the snow, but about people.
Senior Sister Lily, I have always been waiting, waiting for you to make a choice actively, not because of me but for yourself.
To put it more bluntly, the reason I accepted the materials for the Mage Tower prepared by the teacher for you back then was because I felt the timing wasn't right.
You were not psychologically prepared to make a decision in various aspects, so I kept things safe for you, quietly waiting for that girl who once trusted me immensely, to find her choices again.
I'll choose to help you find a future that belongs to you, not so you can be my tool, but hoping one day, you'll step out from your closed circle and actively make your own choices."
