"Don’t worry, your secret’s safe with . However, I gotta hand it to you. You’re every bit of what your reputation advertised. Congrats on finding a thod to make a perfect clone/incarnation. Though its prodigal thod, still you did," I assured Lucine and congratulated her on her enormous achievent before repeating myself, "Do you have any more soul sour fruit left on you?"
Lucine didn’t imdiately answer the boy, feeling naked under his gaze. He didn’t seem like a villain, and Faust seed to trust him, so she trusted him with her secret for now. "No, but I have their seeds. I will give you one if you follow back to our present right now."
"Nah," I rejected Lucine’s offer without any hesitation. Yes, I know its Soul sour fruit’s seed, and with Dredre by my side, I could grow any seed into a tree until fruition. Yet, I rejected her because I had a better deal for her. So, I proposed to her, "How about you give all the soul sour fruit seeds on you in exchange I will help cure your ti rule dentia? That way, you can freely use your perfect incarnation in our present instead of hiding it in your divinity as a buffer to control your ti rule dentia when your condition worsens."
Lucine was taken aback by the boy’s proposal. She felt he was capable after all he saw through her and her perfect incarnation, but she knew the ti rule dentia was sothing that even plagued Celestials, it was incurable. So, she shook her head disappointedly and remarked, "Don’t joke around, Wyatt. That’s insensitive."
"Did I laugh or snicker? I’m being serious. I don’t make promises that I can’t keep. I might be late, but I will deliver," I said, not knowing how I would convince Lucine to give a shot. She was not like my usual clients. So, I didn’t treat her appropriately without going into detail and leaving much to her imagination, "Look, Lucine, you’re a smart woman who managed to suppress ti rule dentia, tiline dentia, and solve the perfect incarnation problem all with one move. So, I will not waste my saliva and get to the point. Agree with my proposal only if you trust . Otherwise, don’t bother."
"I trust you. Alright, we have a deal then. Let’s head back to our present so we can get started," Lucine enthusiastically agreed, so much so she insisted we head back to our present and get started on it right away.
"Don’t get smart with ," I said passive-aggressively, deciding to fork the Soul sour fruit’s seeds from Lucine’s hands another way, one that I would not only enjoy but feel vindicated about this conversation with Lucine.
Seeing the boy take offense at her little trick to get him to return to their past with her, Lucine suddenly felt that she had made the situation worse than it already was. She imdiately apologized, saying, "I’m sorry. I didn’t an to offend you. It’s just that this past is not what you think. We have to leave here before the ti tunnel’s traces disappear in the temporal river."
"Co on, Wyatt. I said I was sorry. The place is not what you think it is. Please, just listen to . I will give you all the Soul sour fruit’s seeds I have, let us just return to our present," Lucine tried tempting the boy, seeing that ordering him or pleading to him didn’t work. Also, he was too petty. A teenage girl being petty she understood that, but a teenage boy, what’s up with that?
Listening to Lucine willingly giving all the Soul sour fruit seeds she had. I decided to forgive her. How could I not? Not only did she risk her life to save mine, but also ca bearing gifts. "We have a deal. You can’t back out this latter."
"Alright. Take my hand. I will get us back to our present," Lucine gladly agreed, reaching for the boy’s wrist but he pulled back, informing, "I agreed to cure your ti rule dentia and not return to our present with you."
"What? You are still on that," Lucine asked bewilderedly, and she finally gave up, revealing, "Wyatt, listen to . This isn’t so Holyland to comprehend ti rule. Unless you planned to beco devil food, I advise you to stop with your antics and quietly follow ."
"I knew it. This is not our past but a variation of our past. Did we lose to the dark realm in the tiline of this past?" I exclaid, hearing Lucine confirm my guess. She had already confird that this was a different past and not our past considering how she, like , kept addressing it as ’this past’ and not ’our past.’ No wonder our present didn’t change despite Morningstar University ddling with the past using its Ti Vestige.
Before Lucine could speak, I overzealously continued, "Have all the card apprentices been killed by the devils of this past? Does that an we are the only remaining card apprentices in this past? Does that an the devils are coming for us? And you are worried that with the Ti Vestige and other parts of the array covering the ’garden of beginning’ having returned to our present, this array in this past is no-longer strong enough to hold the devils of this tiline back from breaking into the ’garden of beginning,’ am I right?"
"What? No, I wish that were the case—" Lucine paused midway, hesitating if she should tell the boy Morningstar University’s deep kept secret. However, he had already figured out most of it so she decided to reward him with the truth, no matter how dark it was and the bad light shone above Morningstar University’s unblemished record. "This is not the holy land for ti rule that the five regions were led to believe. This is a prison designed to hold powerful demigods of the dark faction ’Ten Commandnts.’"
