Chapter 196: Feelings of Two Lifetimes
Yale didn’t dare to say that Liye wasn’t his true name in his current life because he had yet to confirm Lar’s current background.
Although Yale needed one of his bloodlines to reincarnate, he was a special case, and usual reincarnations didn’t need it, so maybe Lar didn’t have any relationship with the Larken clan, but Yale couldn’t ensure it either.
Yale knew that Lar liked him, so he feared that she would reveal against the Larken clan if she knew that he had been forcefully engaged with a girl there. Even if she didn’t have any relationship with them, seeing how she was even wary of Wyba, there would still be chances of her attacking the Larken Clan to get rid of that engagement.
Lar had a fiery personality, she might just argue with Wyba because she was still Yale’s family, but against people who weren’t related to Yale, she wouldn’t be so merciful.
Yale didn’t want that forced engagement either, but he didn’t plan to solve it in a bloodbath like he thought Lar would do if she knew.
“Lar, I heard from Anpaes that you should have been unable to reincarnate due to the state of your soul, but you are here right now.”
Yale’s past life had the Space-time Judgment Sword, so he was able to reincarnate even with his soul in a dissipating state, but he didn’t know how Lar did it and was too curious about it.
“Did you forget about my background?”
Yale nodded without hesitation.
“Indeed, I forgot about it.”
Lar didn’t expect that reply; she was quite frustrated about the fact Yale had forgotten that part about her.
“So, this means that you also forgot the first time we meet…”
Yale noticed Lar’s sad tone of voice.
“I am sorry, but the only things I remember about you are our constant battles. It isn’t like I really forgot my memories, but they are almost all sealed by myself. When I saw you battling before, I unlocked the memories related to my battles with you, but just that.”
Yale felt bad for having forgotten her, but she was already the one he remembered the best at that moment.
“This is too cruel! Did you really choose to seal your memories? Are you really unable to remember the time we spent together?”
Lar jumped towards Yale who was still sat and hugged him; fortunately, her body was still little, so they didn’t fall to the ground.
Yale noticed the tears in Lar’s eyes, but there was nothing he could do. Yale could only remember they battles, but he knew that she had helped him to create the Sword Bloodline and thus they should have had more intimate moments. Yale being unable to remember about them was indeed cruel for Lar.
“I am sorry for that, but I can’t remember the reason for the sealing nor undo the seal. Moreover, can you get down? This feels weird.”
Yale couldn’t accept the affection of Lar, so he didn’t want to be hugged by her nor feel well in that situation. Although he was used to hugging Wyba and also to be hugged by Aiwai, Lar was attached to him due to his previous life and not by himself, so he was feeling like if he was receiving the affection that was directed to someone else.
“I can’t! It doesn’t matter if you don’t remember our time together I still consider myself your wife, with or without memories it doesn’t matter at all!”
That made Yale only feel worse; he couldn’t consider Lar as his wife, at most as rival or a swordsmanship training partner.
“I can’t consider you my wife, I almost didn’t know anything about you right now! I even doubt that in my past life you really turned into my wife.”
Yale just hit the spot, although they had a son together, Yale’s past life never got married with Lar nor with any of the other two.
“Why do you have such a sharp intuition only for that! Indeed, we have never married in our past life, but we had a son together, that is almost the same! I understood that you just had a son with me because you needed it for your reincarnation and that you didn’t have time for a thing like marrying me, but now you don’t have that restriction, we have a lot of time to be together! Moreover, I saw the other two sacrificing themselves, their souls were destroyed, so it is impossible for them to reincarnate, of the three I am the only one alive. Why can’t you accept me?”
The more Lar speak like that; the more awkward Yale felt because it was impossible for him to have such a deep feeling for Lar and he had guessed correctly that even in his past life, he also didn’t have such deep feelings for her.
Liye had just tried his hardest to ensure his reincarnation and Yale was sure that although Liye had been grateful for the feelings of Lar and the other two, from being grateful to have a deep love to them, it was a huge difference.
“Don’t ask me for impossible right now. Maybe if someday I unlock all my memories, but right now I can see you like that.”
Yale didn’t want to make her sadder, but he wouldn’t just marry her because she would be sad if not. However, Lar wouldn’t give up just with that.
“It didn’t matter if you recover those memories or not, I will make you fall in love with me.”
Although Lar tired being seductive while speaking, that was a huge failure; Yale could see at most a kid trying to play the adult.
“With your previous body you were beautiful, and you might have some chances to seduce me, but now you are just a cute little girl, there is no way I can see you as a woman or fall in love with you.”
Lar looked too different from her past life, one was a grown-up woman with incredible beauty, while the other was just a little girl. Although she was cute as a little girl, Yale couldn’t consider a little girl as a love interest even with his lack of knowledge in that area.
In fact, the only part she looked identical was in the hairstyle as both of them had long jet-black hair. Yale thought that if she grew up, she could maybe resemble her previous life, but with her training speed, the chances of her growing older were naught.
“I was just careless! It isn’t like I like looking like a little girl, even in this life I am already fourteen, but due to this appearance, everyone treats me just like a little girl! Before reaching the Novice Rank, I only remembered some fragments of swordsmanship, and I wanted to train fast. When I advanced and recovered some of my memories, I found myself locked at this age due to having trained too fast. However, to solve I need to stop training for a long time, but not training until growing older right now would just damage the potential of my body.”
Lar was very serious with her words, that topic was one of the most delicate ones to her, and she was unable to solve that problem.
“Why you didn’t just use some skill to take an older appearance, that shouldn’t be difficult for you.”
Although her true form remained with that youthful appearance, with a skill like Shape Shift, the problem would be solved. Even Tofesh had left a method like Shape Shift in the special realm; there was no way someone like Lar didn’t know any.
“If I could remember any skill like that, I would have used it time ago!”
Lar was very frustrated by that; she hadn’t thought that the damage of her soul was that bad to have lost so many memories, she was even suspecting that by some reason she also sealed most of her memories.
“Then, how about learning from me. I know a skill that could help you to change how old you look.”
Lar’s face changed when she heard that, she needed such a skill at any price; she didn’t want to remain looking like a little girl.
“I want to learn it.”
Seeing Lar’s excited face, Yale could only see a little girl anxious to learn something new.
“Alright, but I won’t teach you for free.”
Lar just hugged Yale even stronger after hearing that.
“Of course, you want my body. I am your wife, so that is normal.”
Yale felt that Lar was too persistent, but he remembered how she pursued his past life for battling, so it wasn’t unexpected.
“That is what you want! You aren’t my wife, nor I have no interest in your body!”
Although both have about the same age, their appearances were too different; anyone would think that Yale was a monster if he truly accepted Lar’s offer.
