Chapter 272: For a Proper Farewell (Part 2)
"I came into this world inexplicably, and I didn't get to say goodbye to my family. I don't know when I will leave, but now, I want to say goodbye to you properly."
Isidore and the other three gradually lowered their heads after hearing Vifiya's words. They clearly knew that they were not from the same world and that she would be separated from them sooner or later, but when she said these words, they still found it hard to accept and even wanted to cry.
They certainly wanted her to be reunited with her family, but they also had a selfish concern: they might never see her again.
"I know the topic I'm bringing up is very heavy, but I think that even if I'm gone, you should still live your lives well. I'm sure everyone can live well without me."
Vifiya didn't accept the rebuttal in their eyes.
"You have to promise me to live a good life, okay?"
She smiled as she fixed her gaze on Osa. "Your wish is to live your life without regrets, a complete one, of course."
She had guessed before what would happen to Osa, who was related to her life, after she disappeared. The worst result was that her departure would lead to Osa's death. Well, she would find a way.
Osa pursed her lips and turned her face away. She understood what Vifiya meant. Yes, she couldn't abandon her mother and the others, as well as Hefa. She had other people she couldn't let go of. She would live a good life. Wasn't that what she had been working hard for all along?
She knew what Vifiya meant was that life must go on.
She didn't dare to think about what life would be like without Vifiya. She had lived like this before she met Vifiya, but now she was suddenly told that there would be one less person. She felt uncomfortable all over and said in a low voice: "Hmm."
Then there was Kaharun.
"If you're unsure what to do next in life, how about traveling across the continent?"
After all, in some ways, Kaharun is a very thoughtful person. His home no longer existed after his mother passed away. Later, he lived with Sally and others and had a second home. She and Kaharun were friends, and her departure would be a blow to him, and she knew it very well.
So, what about traveling the world? What about slowing down and seeing the world? There will always be something in the world that will bring him new ties, something that will make him stop and enjoy.
She knew that Kaharun must have realized something at this moment. He opened his mouth and lowered his head further: "I know."
Then there was Arnold.
"I don't want to order you to love life in an imperative way." She knew that Arnold had always taken himself lightly, but fortunately, he had changed in recent years, which was a good sign.
"So, this is just a small suggestion from me. When I'm gone, go back and be with Bailey. You'll like this kind of life better."
Rather than striving for a higher position, Arnold actually prefers the comfort of being with his family, continuing to live with Bailey and run the store with her. Even if there is still a gap between nobles and commoners, with his many years of connection with the Marquis of Casely's Mansion, most people will not make things difficult for them. Even without her, Osha will take good care of them.
Arnold gripped the hilt of his sword, his fingers turning white. "Yes."
at last……
It was Isidore.
Those silver eyes stared at her intently, as if begging her not to say anything.
But Vifiya will definitely tell it.
What should she say to him? She knew she had always been unfair to him.
She asked, "You're going to survive, right?"
"You still have Kaharun, Salis, Osha, and Arnold. You can talk to them and reminisce about the past. I think they'll all be happy to do so."
Her eyes were open and Isidore seemed to see himself in them, but also seemed not to see himself. From the moment she said goodbye, he had a premonition that she would say something similar to what she said on St. Fagus Island, but this time, they would not meet again.
Vifiya looked at him straight in the eyes, with an inexplicable persistence, and said, "You will promise me, right?"
He wanted to refuse, but she just stared at him and he didn't know how to say it. In the end, he avoided her gaze and said nothing.
The night deepened at the ruins of Simparai. Even if the craftsmen were rebuilding, they would not disturb people's sleep in the middle of the night.
But the Simpalai Holy Congregation probably can’t be held, Vifiya thought.
Her eyes had long since adjusted to the darkness in the room, and she stared at the rough gray ceiling above her head.
"Jiang Suian, why did you say those things during the day?" [Vifiya] said in a bad tone.
Vifiya knew what she was referring to and said nonchalantly, "Just some farewell words."
"Is it really just to say goodbye?" [Vifiya]'s words were full of doubt.
Vifiya turned over in bed and said with a smile: "If I really leave this world, won't I be gone forever? Isn't it the same as being dead?"
Of course she knew how to answer [Vifiya]. She didn't want to tell [Vifiya] the truth now, but even if she didn't tell the truth, [Vifiya] would understand. She had to prepare for the worst.
"I won't lie to you, really."
Her eyes fell on the table and chairs where Osa and the others had sat during the day. "Will you maintain everything I have in this world?"
The only answer she got was silence.
Well, [Vefiya] doesn’t want to bother with her now.
Vephia blinked slowly. She knew she was listening, so she continued, "Isidore and the others will have to trouble you then. Although you don't want to deal with them, I hope you can lend them a hand at this critical moment."
"I can't predict what the future will hold after I'm gone, so I can only leave it to you. Will you help me?"
"You can, right?"
"It doesn't matter. I won't be sad even if you don't help me."
"I know, I know. Why have you become so nagging? You know I don't like them, but you still nag me." [Vifiya] just wanted to shut her up today, without saying a single nice word.
[Vifiya] was already very angry about God's shamelessness, but now seeing Jiang Suian's appearance, she couldn't say anything to ridicule her.
How could she not know Jiang Suian's thoughts? Jiang Suian was ready to start his next life, even...
Moreover, Jiang Suian had asked her personally, so how could she not help her? It was just a matter of moving her fingers, which was not difficult for her.
Vifiya raised the corners of her lips. She knew she would agree. She also knew that Vifiya would maintain everything she had in this world because that would be the last connection between them.
[Vefiya] was right. Time had beautified [Vefiya] in her mind. However, [Vefiya] had always been very good to her, hadn't she? No matter how she treated others, she had always been very good to her.
This was also the reason why Vifiya had not asked God for help and inquired about Vifiya’s news before.
When God first came to see her at the foot of Saint Vasok Cathedral, she was indeed panicked and wanted to ask God for confirmation of [Vefiya]'s whereabouts, but after calming down, she was glad that she didn't ask. After all, she was unwilling to fully trust God.
She was not sure whether God knew that she had asked Him for help. Even if He knew, the fact that she had been indifferent to the whereabouts of [Vefiya] for nearly fourteen generations was enough to dilute His belief that she cared about [Vefiya].
After all, it is normal for memory to deviate after seventeen times.
Vifiya's sudden, soft voice came to his mind: "Are you willing, Jiang Suian? I'm asking, are you willing to do this?"
Vifiya was slightly taken aback. She smiled softly and said, "[Vifiya], you guessed right. I am indeed very angry."
The anger in my heart rushed up to my heart again and again, burning it, but was then suppressed by my cold rationality.
How could she not be angry? It was clearly none of her business, wasn't it? Why did she need to risk her life, to sacrifice everything, for a strange, unfamiliar world?
But now, she feels more of a sense of melancholy and emptiness in her heart.
"I voluntarily followed God's instructions." In the quiet house, Vifiya pondered for a moment whether to tell the other party the truth. After thinking for a while, she spoke in a low voice, "This is the safest method at the moment."
"Killing the Queen God will increase my chances of returning home. I believe those two from my hometown will definitely seize the opportunity to take me back."
"At the same time, the world still exists, and I want the world to survive because you are all here. I am not saying this to make you feel guilty. I just want to tell you that you are worth it."
Vifiya could not deny that if her bond with them was also part of God’s plan, then He had succeeded.
"[Vefiya], those words are meant for you too."
The last sentence made no sense. She no longer waited for Vifiya's response. Her eyes gradually dimmed and she closed them.
She didn't know how to continue discussing with [Vifiya]. She was afraid that she would suddenly lose her composure. After all, [Vifiya] knew her so well. The more she talked, the more [Vifiya] would see through it.
She believed in the correctness of God's words because they had been verified by Valega. In addition, at this point, there was no need for God to deceive her anymore.
What puzzled Vifiya was why there was no news about Qingzhu and the others. Ever since Vifiya came back, Qingzhu rarely appeared. He said that too many voices in her head would disturb her spirit.
Therefore, He will not speak unless necessary.
But the matter of Thesmera was almost certain, so why didn’t they show up?
Vifiya grabbed the quilt covering her body.
She actually had no idea whether she could succeed in this life.
There is a gap between humans and God.
She had suffered so many failures, and this time it seemed like she was about to reach the end. But would she really find what she wanted at the end? Could she really reach the end?
Even though the road was not easy, even though her wish had never changed, when the day came when her wish was really within her reach, she still hesitated.
Is it really possible? Can she really get what she wants?
She thought for a long time whether to tell Isidore and the others that she had been reborn seventeen times. In the end, she didn't say it because she didn't know how to say it, nor did she know whether she should say it. After all, it seemed that there was no need to say it at all.
It seemed like there was no other use in saying it except to make them worry.
Moreover, she had another thing that she had not completed. She did not belong to this world, and she could not continue to use [Vifiya]'s body, even with [Vifiya's] consent.
As the night deepened, Vifiya tried her best to slow down her breathing, stop thinking, and force her mind to be empty.
She had a dream.
