“I admit that there was an element of acting involved, but I must deny this one.”
Leon answered seriously, "My love for you is all true."
Chapter Fourteen: Even a Villain with a Bad Luck Can Find Happiness
Is your love for me real?
Helena was slightly stunned, but she quickly regained her composure, her beautiful face turning icy cold.
She doesn't believe it!
Leon must be acting again.
"You probably already know this, Caesar died a long time ago. The one who has been impersonating Caesar all along is actually the founding emperor. Emperor Caesar was just a disguise that he could change at any time."
Leon continued.
"I know, but upon returning from a previous life, the gods should be the first to panic. Why are you mentioning Him?"
Helena's beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, as if she were pondering something.
"I just wanted to say that Leon and I are in a similar situation."
Leon explained, "Although everyone thinks I am Leon, I am not actually Leon. The real Leon may already be dead."
"then who are you?"
Helena snorted coldly.
"I come from another world and have transmigrated into Leon's body. Although I have inherited most of Leon's memories, I am still me."
Leon explained.
"Leon, we're both grown up now, why do you still treat me like a child?"
Helena shook her head, somewhat amused, and said, "How could you tell such a clumsy lie?"
Absurd,
That's absolutely absurd.
Helena was really disappointed, utterly disappointed.
Even now, Leon is still thinking about how to deceive himself.
Haha, that's really funny.
"I did not lie."
Leon knew Helena wouldn't believe him.
Tell her that you are a time traveler.
This is as absurd as your roommate suddenly telling you seriously that he is actually Qin Shi Huang.
"Okay, shut up."
Helena's tone was filled with anger, and she tightened her grip on the lightsaber.
"You can read my memories."
Leon said earnestly, "Helena, please believe me."
"Tsk."
Helena gave Leon an annoyed look.
This reminded her that she hadn't seen Leon's memories yet.
Now, it wouldn't be difficult for her to enter Leon's memories...
When Helena first entered Leon's memories, it was the current timeline. She followed the timeline forward until she saw Leon waking up from his sleep when he first arrived.
Continue forward from this point.
Helena was deeply shocked.
The art style has completely changed.
This was a world she had never seen before, a world she could not even imagine.
The buildings there are taller than the tallest building in Fitcher, and they have strange shapes.
The roads are wide and clean, and the city lights seem like the most dazzling magic, with a wide and stable light source that can even flicker and jump on its own.
Helena didn't understand how this was done, because these bright things weren't special luminescent stones, and they didn't require ignition; it was just a matter of lightly touching a few switches.
What's even more amazing is that the people in this world all like to play with a small box-like thing.
The box is thin and flat, usually a little longer than the palm of your hand. Inside the box is a language that Helena cannot understand, and she can even see other people's faces, as well as many other strange things.
Besides, there are no horse-drawn carriages in this world; people's means of transportation is a strangely shaped large box with wheels.
And the people in this world have very unique ways of dressing...
All of this is from Leon's perspective, so everything is what Leon sees.
Helena found it hard to imagine how such a magnificent and wonderful world could be so realistically depicted unless she had seen it with her own eyes.
Therefore, this is most likely true, rather than a memory that Leon had modified beforehand.
Leon snapped out of his daze.
He knew that Helena had emerged from his memory.
"Did you see everything?"
"Leon asked."
"Yes."
Helena looked at Leon with a complicated expression.
"Now you should believe me, right?"
"I do not know."
Helena's feelings were somewhat complicated.
"I read your story in that world, so I have some understanding of the future development of this world. When I first came here and realized that I was your target for revenge, I had no choice but to do that in order to save my life."
Leon said with difficulty, "If I told you at the beginning that I am not Leon, that those things have nothing to do with me, that I am innocent, and that you shouldn't seek revenge on me, would you believe me? You would not. You would just think that I was scared out of my wits. So, I can only use the information gap to find other ways to save myself."
"Um……"
Helena made a soft nasal sound.
"I'm so sorry for deceiving you. Maybe I didn't understand my feelings at first, but now I can be absolutely certain that the person I love is Helena."
Leon smiled wryly, "This world is cold to me, but because of Helena, I gradually found my home and felt warmth."
"However, it was built on lies, so much so that I was always afraid of the day when the lies would be exposed. I thought that day would be my end, and all the happiness I had accumulated would be shattered."
Leon paused here, then let out a heavy sigh of relief. "But thankfully, everything is out in the open now. I no longer need to live in fear every day. I've been keeping these words bottled up inside for so long, it's really exhausting."
“I used to think I was afraid of death, but now if I were to die, I could do so without fear. Perhaps what I feared was never death itself, but rather the powerlessness I felt in the face of reality and the cold, suffocating loneliness.”
Leon kept rambling on and on; he had never imagined he could be so long-winded.
"Lin Beixuan?"
Helena suddenly called out a name.
Lin Beixuan...
Leon was stunned.
The name is so familiar, yet so unfamiliar.
"Just call me Leon. I can no longer step into Lin Beixuan's life. I am Leon now."
"Leon replied."
Perhaps, it wasn't Leon who died.
It was Lin Beixuan.
"Actually, I had quite a bit of contact with Leon when I was at Guberland University."
Helena replied, "I know very well that he is an arrogant, selfish scoundrel."
"So, after spending so much time with me, haven't you noticed anything unusual?"
"Leon asked."
"Of course it's abnormal. He's completely different from the Leon in college. Hazel, who knows Leon better than I do, feels this even more deeply."
"so?"
"But I've been hypnotizing myself, telling myself that people change, and maybe Leon has just changed, so he's not deceiving me."
"You suspected it all along?"
"Well, maybe... I'm just lacking in love. Who doesn't long to feel loved?"
Helena gave a bitter smile.
Then, Helena looked at Leon, and the coldness on her face was gradually replaced by gentleness.
Then, the world around me shattered like glass.
Along with the shattering, Helena and Leon himself also perished.
After a moment of mental confusion,
Leon found himself back in the underground palace.
The cold, oppressive atmosphere of the underground palace still lingered.
He himself was sitting on the ground, leaning against a stone pillar.
It was just a dream; Helena had pulled me into her dream.
No wonder I suddenly ended up tied up in the storeroom of Guberland University.
If it's in the world of dreams, then anything is possible depending on the dreamer's consciousness.
Helena also possesses the power to manipulate dreams.
Helena is now incredibly powerful.
Helena's figure emerged from the shadows.
"You've already entered the underground palace?"
Leon was puzzled.
Helena couldn't have followed him in, because Leon was absolutely certain that he wasn't being followed.
Even if he was being followed, it was impossible for Eric not to notice.
"Yes."
Helena answered.
"But to enter the underground palace, one needs to be a member of the Hoyle family."
Do you really think that obtaining your blood is a difficult thing for me?
"Was it...during the fight with Bancroft?"
Helena's opportunities were limited to that time.
"Yes."
Helena nodded.
"Why did you lie in ambush in the underground palace beforehand?"
"revenge."
Helena replied, then added, "But the misunderstanding is now cleared up."
It seems she had anticipated that she would be entering the underground palace.
As expected of Helena, she's ruthless.
