turn out to be...
Is it because of me?
It was my own sentimentality, my own excesses, my own recklessness, and my own arrogance after being favored.
In addition, his breakthrough in strength caused a psychological gap for Leah, which made her feel extremely insecure.
It turns out it was my fault.
Lynn recalled those details that he had noticed long ago but had deliberately ignored.
He recalled the fleeting look of desolation in Leah's eyes when he broke through to the next level.
Lydia felt uneasy beneath her obedient demeanor when she recalled forgiving herself for her ambiguous relationship with Vera.
He also recalled how he had repeatedly, recklessly, and carelessly made Leah suppress her love for him.
It's my fault.
can.
Just now, he was actually scared!
Hahaha!
He was afraid of a girl who was originally so well-behaved, who had eyes for him, and who devoted her whole heart to him.
The real culprit behind all of this is clearly myself.
the first time.
Lynn truly felt that she was a birth, a birth that deserved to be torn to pieces.
Liars must swallow ten thousand silver needles.
He had told her so many lies that he should have swallowed needles until his intestines ruptured.
"Lia...I'm sorry."
Lynn's voice was filled with remorse, but it was no use making up for the mistakes he had made.
He was a trampler of Leah's sincere love.
He is a fraudster who is genuinely devoted to Leah.
He is also a shameless liar.
He released his grip on Leah's cold arms and, with the gentlest and most careful movements, pulled her into his embrace.
He tried to make up for the mistakes he had made.
His arms were wrapped tightly around her, as if he wanted to meld her into his very bones.
Even though it was bitterly cold for Leah, he wanted to use his body heat to dispel the chill from her body and his heartbeat to fill the emptiness in her heart.
Leah, you must be feeling even worse than I am right now.
Lynn was so clearly aware of how shameless, despicable, and ugly he was.
He enjoyed his sister's admiration and love, but failed to give her the same level of attention and security.
Greedily seeking more warmth, they inadvertently chilled the very people who deserved their deepest affection.
"I'm sorry, Leah, I'm so sorry!" He repeated to her over and over, his voice choked with emotion, hot tears streaming down his face and landing on Leah's cold neck.
These tears were not for sympathy, but rather an outpouring of Lynn's genuine regret and pain.
But what's the point?
Can regret feed you?
Can regret erase a mistake?
Lynn held Leah's cold body, feeling his heart clench with pain.
Lia, who was being embraced, stiffened for a moment.
The eerie black aura enveloping her seemed to crack slightly from the sudden warm embrace and scalding tears.
Her empty eyes shifted slightly, and her long eyelashes trembled.
"elder brother……"
Her voice was no longer deliberately gentle, but carried a genuine, broken sob.
"I like you so much, I love you so much... but I'm so useless."
"I'm not as powerful as Elder Elune, and I can't offer you as much help or handle as many things for you like she does. My figure isn't as good as Vera's either."
"All I can do is clumsily follow behind you, unable to do anything."
"Moreover, I'm now lagging behind my brother in strength, so Leah can't protect him at all."
"Lia doesn't know what she can do...Lia really seems like...she can't do anything right."
"Brother, Leah... Leah loves you so much. Leah just wants to be with you, forever..."
"But Leah isn't good enough for you anymore... Leah seems useless now, Leah is just a burden..."
Her voice grew softer and softer, filled with self-deprecation and a desperate sense of bewilderment.
Those long-suppressed anxieties, inferiority complexes, and fears about the future, on the verge of spiraling out of control, finally found an outlet.
"Brother..." She raised her head, her platinum-gray eyes, still hollow but now brimming with tears, staring intently at Lynn's face, as if grasping at the last straw, or making a final confirmation:
"Could you... please not abandon Leah?"
"As long as brother doesn't abandon Leah..."
She paused, trying again to force that sickly gentle smile, but this time she failed, leaving only an extremely sad, almost humble, pleading expression:
"As long as brother doesn't abandon Leah..."
"Even if it means being her brother's toy, Leah would be willing..."
Before Lynn could react, Lydia suddenly broke free from his warm embrace.
In Lynn's gaze.
Leah's slender fingers trembled as she untied the bow on the ribbon of her thin blue nightgown.
The silky fabric, freed from its restraint, silently slid down her smooth shoulders and piled up at her cold feet.
The girl's beautiful and innocent body was exposed without reservation to the slightly chilly air and the dim light.
Her skin was so white it was almost transparent, with a pitiful pinkish tinge from the cold and her emotional excitement.
Although her figure was not as voluptuous and alluring as Vera's, she still possessed the delicate curves of a young girl, with every line as exquisite as a perfect creation meticulously sculpted by the gods.
However, at this moment, this beautiful scene is filled with a sense of despair, as if it were a sacrifice to an evil god.
Her body trembled slightly.
Like a canary that willingly walks into a cage and breaks its own wings.
Beautiful yet flawed.
Sober yet also mired in depravity.
Lynn felt as if he had been stabbed in the heart, the pain making it hard for him to breathe.
"Lia! Don't do this!!"
Lynn hurriedly took off his clothes and used them, still warm from his body, to tightly wrap Leah's cold, naked body, covering her completely.
however.
His self-righteous gentleness and seemingly protective actions, in the eyes of Leah, who was in an extremely fragile mental state at the moment, became a "rejection" in another sense.
Those platinum-gray eyes, which had just shone with a faint light because of his embrace and tears, instantly dimmed.
The last vestige of life, like a candle flickering in the wind, was extinguished.
She seemed to have become an exquisite but soulless doll.
"elder brother……"
"Is it because you dislike Leah?"
Her voice was as soft as a wisp of smoke about to dissipate, hollow... heartbreakingly hollow.
"Hehehe..."
"turn out to be..."
"Is Leah not even qualified to be her brother's toy...?"
Her words revealed an almost lifeless despair.
"No! Leah! Absolutely not!" Lynn practically roared as he grabbed Leah's shoulders and forced her to look him in the eye.
Lynn's eyes were red; he wanted Leah to know his true feelings.
"Brother loves you too! I love you so much! It's not just liking for a younger sister, it's the love for the one I cherish!"
"I will never treat Leah like a toy. Leah will always be my beloved wife, the one I want to spend my life with and walk hand in hand with!"
Lynn took a deep breath and, in the most solemn tone, declared, word by word:
"I love you, Leah!"
"I also hope that Leah can stay with me, and always stay with me."
"But I hope that Leah will be with me as my wife, as the only and most beloved wife in my heart."
"Just like I told Leah before—"
"Lia will always be the most important and unique treasure in my life."
"Lia is not a toy, not an accessory, not a burden."
"Lia is Lydia, Lynn's Lydia, the Lydia that Lynn wants to cherish and protect for a lifetime."
Perhaps it was this unprecedentedly direct confession, or perhaps it was the overwhelming sincerity and love in Lynn's eyes...
Leah's empty eyes slowly began to refocus.
The dark aura, like a harbinger of darkness, began to melt and dissipate little by little, just like ice and snow under the sun.
Her icy body temperature seemed to gradually rise with Lynn's passionate words and the coat wrapped around her.
She stared blankly at Lynn for a very long time.
Then, very slowly and tentatively, she gently pressed her face back against Lynn's chest, close to his rapidly beating heart.
Thump...thump...
That powerful, rapid beating voice, directed at her, traveled clearly through her chest to her ears, gently striking the cold lake of her heart and creating warm ripples.
"Brother..." Her voice was still soft, but no longer hollow; it carried a subtle, genuine tremor. "I'm really... easily, easily satisfied."
"As long as I can be with my brother, that's enough."
"Please...don't leave me, please don't abandon me?"
"I swear!"
Lynn immediately raised his hand, his expression more solemn than ever before: "I, Lynn Sias, swear by my soul that in this life and the next, I will never betray Lydia Sias, never abandon Lydia Sias! If I break this oath, may I be struck by lightning..."
"Stop talking! Brother!" Leah suddenly reached out and covered Lynn's mouth with her cold fingers.
Tears welled in her eyes, overflowing with emotion and deep love: "I believe you! Leah believes in her brother! Please don't make such a vow, even if..."
Even if brother really doesn't want Leah anymore, Leah doesn't want you to get hurt in any way...
Hearing that she was still thinking of him even now, Lynn's tears welled up again.
He held her tightly, burying his face in her fragrant hair.
"I'm sorry, Leah..."
"I was such a jerk. I neglected your feelings so much before. I'm so sorry... really..."
"Don't say sorry anymore, brother." Leah gently shook her head in his arms, her voice muffled. "You didn't apologize to Leah... it's just that Leah is useless and overthinking things..."
"Stop saying you're useless!"
Lynn stepped back slightly, cupped Leah's face in his hands, and made her look at him. "My Leah is the most perfect girl in the world, the most unique treasure in my life. Whatever Leah wants, brother will do for her."
A genuine blush finally appeared on Leah's pale face.
She bit her lower lip, her platinum-gray eyes shimmering as if she had made a decision.
"elder brother……"
"Um?"
"You said...you would make anything I want happen, is that true?"
"Absolutely true." Lynn said without hesitation.
Leah gazed deeply at him, her eyes overflowing with love, yet also carrying a subtle hint of girlish shyness and resolve.
"I want my brother... to stay with me alone."
"But I know my brother definitely can't do it..."
"Sister Vera is right, brother is a womanizer."
Lynn scratched his head a little embarrassed after hearing what Leah said.
She paused, her fingertips gripping Lynn's collar tightly with nervousness.
"so…"
"so..."
Leah was conflicted.
"So I think you should... take me tonight, brother."
Leah's voice was as soft as a gentle breeze, and her cheeks were so red they looked like they were about to bleed.
But his gaze was unusually firm, looking directly at Lynn without flinching.
"Tonight, let me truly belong entirely to my brother, okay?"
"Lia is willing to be her brother's possession!!"
"Let Leah's body and soul belong entirely to her brother."
Inside the treehouse, in the dim light.
The girl, wrapped in ill-fitting clothes, looked up and offered her purest, most humble, and most fervent request.
Lynn looked at Leah in his arms, her eyes filled with determination and pleading, and felt the slight trembling of her body and the gradual return of her temperature.
There was heartache, guilt, and the heavy feeling of being completely trusted and entrusted.
This time, Lynn no longer refused, no longer spoke, and no longer feigned compliance.
He uttered a soft but firm "okay".
He chose to accept Leah's trust and entrustment, and made a promise to her.
"Lynn Sias will never tell Lydia Sias another lie."
"And I want Leah to understand that Leah Sias will never belong to Lynn Sias; Leah Sias is Lynn Sias's most beloved wife in this life."
