Hikaru felt like falling into the lake. He didn't have time to stabilise himself due to the shock he received from his "past life", before Vuni shocked Him again.
In fact, he wasn't thinking as much as Vuni had thought, it was just that his mind was a little slow in absorbing all the information. That's why his reaction was slow.
However, he did not think that Vuni would give him a second shock. Maybe Vuni knew that his life was too peaceful right now, so she decided to stir it up a bit?
Are you kidding me?
Hikaru didn't know how to react. Was he Angry? Anguished? Or Sad?
No, Hikaru didn't know what his previous life was like but he thought that if his previous life didn't die, he wouldn't exist either.
He didn't care who he was in his previous life, or why he died, or if Vuni was the one who caused his death. In fact he didn't care about it because it did not happen to his current self so he didn't even have any emotions when he heard Vuni say that she was the cause of his previous life's death.
Hikaru's thinking was very simple: now, Vuni was loyal to him, and she would not betray him. Coupled with the fact that she loved him, it was enough for him to trust her. Also through the Cosmic Insight, he also knew that his women would never betray him.
He also didn't want to care about his past life, even if Vuni loved him in his previous life, he didn't care about it because his previous life was over, and the person who slept with Vuni first was also him.
What reason did Hikaru have to be angry?
What was the most important thing in a man? A man may not be smart or talented, but he needs to be able to think clearly and be altruistic.
That's right, maybe Hikaru was not talented or smart. After all, while living on Earth, he was just an ordinary office worker.
However, at this moment, Hikaru was sure that his mind was very clear, and that he had thought through what Vuni had said very carefully.
Hikaru sighed and said, "Vuni, you love me, don't you?"
Vuni was startled when she heard that, and her face showed surprise, but then, she immediately replied: "Master, I love you not because of your previous life, I love you because..."
When she reached here, Vuni suddenly fell silent because she didn't know what to say for Hikaru to believe her. That's right, whether she liked it or not her heart still had the image of Hikaru's past life.
Besides, Vuni also wanted to say that when she saw him she knew that her fate would be tied to him just like Saraya.
However, that reason was too hard to believe, and it was even petty. Even if Vuni was Hikaru, she wouldn't believe that reason either.
Only now did Vuni realise that what Rika said was true. Vuni loved Hikaru, but it was not love but her regret.
Vuni lowered her head, and allowed her tears to fall on the deck. Drop by drop, her tears quickly formed a small puddle.
The puddle was large enough for Vuni to see her face reflected in the puddle of the tears.
Her face was extremely beautiful but it also carried a lot of suffering, it seemed that in the end the lonely one was her. Yes, perhaps this was her punishment.
Suddenly, Vuni felt Hikaru's warm embrace, and she even felt his masculine scent.
Vuni couldn't help but stammer, "Master… you..."
Hikaru whispered into Vuni's ear, "You don't have to worry. I know you still can't forget my past life but you need to remember that I am me, I am not the person in my previous life. If you love me, you must forget the past."
"I know you can't do it at once, so I'll give you time. But I don't want you to wait too long, understand?"
Vuni was stunned for a moment, then nodded repeatedly: "I understand, master."
"Good!" After saying that, Hikaru let go of Vuni, although she still wanted to be in his embrace, the current situation was already good, so she did not dare to ask for more.
Hikaru reached out his hand to wipe Vuni's tears, although there was still a lot of regret and sadness on her face, but compared to before, Vuni's beautiful face now seemed to be much brighter.
Hikaru stared into Vuni's eyes and asked, "Do you really love me?"
Vuni wanted to say 'yes', but when she looked into his eyes, she suddenly found it difficult to say it. Vuni realized that although she loved Hikaru, in reality she still loved the past him and not the one currently in front of her.
Hikaru didn't get angry, he said, "Don't worry. I don't hate you either. Like I said, if you don't love me, I won't force it on you. As long as you're loyal to me."
After saying that, Hikaru disappeared, the surrounding scenery also shattered into pieces like glass after he left.
Vuni woke up with a start and realised that she was still in the strange space from before. Suddenly, Rika's voice resounded in her head.
[How is it? Is what I said correct?]
"If you're laughing at me then please leave, I don't want to argue with you."
[No, I have no interest in laughing at you. I just wanted to ask what your decision is.]
Vuni thought for a moment, then asked: "No matter what I decide, it won't affect your decision, right?"
[Yes, even though it won't affect me, I want to prepare for the worst case scenario.]
Rika's words startled Vuni, then her heart ached as if a knife was stabbing her.
"Do you think I will betray him again?"
[Maybe, But No, master said that he is him, and that he is not the person he was in his previous life. That's why, you betraying your master in your previous life has nothing to do with him now.]
[Vuni, don't you understand that Master doesn't care about his past life. The one who is clinging and gnawing at the past is only you.]
[I just wanted to confirm if you would betray your master, Vuni?]
Vuni stared blankly into the distance: "I won't betray him again."
[Even if your clan appears, will you still be loyal to your master?]
"That's right." Without thinking, she immediately replied as if this answer was always on her mind: "I will never betray master. Rika, do you believe me?"
[If it was in the past, I wouldn't believe you. But now it's different, I believe you will never betray master. However, the current issue is your feelings. If you don't solve this problem then your seal will never be opened.]
Vuni hugged her head and shouted: "I know! I know everything, but the only thing I don't know is my heart. Why? I just want to fix the mistake I made previously. Why did things turn out like this? Why?!"
Vuni shouted loudly, but in this special space only Rika and her were in this place, so no one else could hear her voice.
[Vuni, are you just trying to correct the mistakes of the past? Don't you realise that master doesn't actually care about his past life.]
"But…"
[Okay, I don't care about what you have to say anymore. Think for yourself.]
After Rika finished speaking, she was silent, Vuni knew that Rika had left, however, that did not make Vuni more comfortable, on the contrary, she felt even more uncomfortable and lonely.
It seemed that the fate of Vuni was like this bizarre space, as although it was very large, it was only her's.
…
In the main hall, Hikaru was still sitting on the throne, and looking into the distance. At this moment, Rika's voice resounded in his head.
[Master, are you thinking about Vuni's business?]
Hikaru nodded, he said: "Yes, Rika, do you know about my past life?"
Rika was silent for a long time, Hikaru didn't rush her either. Then Rika replied: [Yes, I know all about you, master.]
Hikaru didn't react or show any emotion, he just stared into the distance. He seemed to be thinking about something, Rika didn't want to read his mind right now, it seemed that she also wanted to experience the thrill of not knowing what Hikaru would say in advance.
"Rika, are you loyal to me or to my previous life?"
Rika did not hesitate, she immediately replied: [I am loyal to you, master. To me, you are you, you are not your previous life. I also have a purpose when I join you, but our purpose will help us grow together.]
[Like I said since we first met. If you die, I will die too. The stronger you grow, the easier it will be for me to achieve my goal.]
[Master, the only thing you possess that resembles your previous life is probably your face, that's all.]
Hikaru nodded at that, he breathed a sigh of relief as if he had just been released.
[Master, don't you want to ask about your previous life?]
Hikaru pondered for a while, then he shook his head and said, "There is no need, if I knew what my previous life was like, I would be more or less affected. I am who I am, I don't want to be a copy of anyone else."
[I understand, however, I hope you won't be angry with Vuni either.]
When Hikaru heard Rika's words he smiled: "Hahaha, Rika, I'm not angry, I'm telling the truth. I just felt a little disappointed, however, that feeling quickly vanished ."
"When Vuni talked about my past life, I knew she didn't love me. Maybe she slept with me just because of the guilt that she was the one who caused my death in my previous life."
[Why did you realise that?]
"Hahaha… Rika, have you forgotten that I was also tricked by another girl when I was on Earth? The eyes of a person in love are very different, it's like the eyes of Tsuraguki, Saraya, Selvih and Anno when they are looking at me."
"But Vuni's eyes are different, especially when she slept with me, her eyes were looking at me, but it seemed that the person she was looking at was not me but an image of someone else."
[So… what will you do?]
