The Story Will Be a Little Long (Continued)

Theresa had almost stopped crying, but Yae Sakura's touch brought tears to her eyes again.

Afterwards, they finished their meal and cleaned up, then went to the sofa together.

Yae Sakura embraced Theresa, Theresa nestled in her arms. After their time together, the contact felt perfectly natural.

"The story is a bit long, it begins five hundred years ago, in Mr. Otto's childhood..."

Anqi doesn't intend to publicize Otto's specific experiences and inner journey. Dissecting a super-leader who has accumulated prestige over five centuries, transforming him into a figure with both merits and demerits, and one that is difficult for ordinary people to accept, would be a violent shock to the current power structure. The will of Schicksal, the hearts and minds of the people, this colossal entity that oversees most of the planet, might be at risk of disintegrating.

There's no need for that. Besides, letting the world freely judge his feelings for the saintess is somewhat insulting.

But Theresa is different; she is perhaps the only one qualified to know everything, and Otto would not reject her.

Therefore, Yae Sakura explained the whole story. Otto's original intentions, his plans, Anqi's interference, and his fate—she revealed everything, except for the secret involving Anqi.

Theresa listened quietly, without making a sound or questioning. In the silence, the innocent eyes beneath her small frame gradually became calm.

As long as Otto lives, Theresa will always be a child.

And tonight, she will grow up.
