Julien nodded without hesitation. "I'm like a frog in a well, believing that not everything is as it appears." His body trembles with excitement, his pupil dilates, and his world view broadens — he feels like a soaring eagle flying over the sky.

"The world I live in is a mote of dust compared to the world beyond, and this is only a portion of knowledge!"

"Thank you, Emperor. I'm speechless. I'm at a loss for words."

    The Emperor nodded, pleased with the outcome. He anticipates that his "reincarnation" will have the same reaction as the third and second ones, which are overwhelmed.

He reflected, "I suppose meeting that man helps him cope with the circumstance easier."

   He then told Julien, "You can't use your Arcane spells to hurt normal humans; there's a system and regulations to follow." Don't be a Dark Arcanist, the emperor added with a smile.

"I need to depart now, the energy I used for this memory is more than what the plan is, and I am only an incantation, therefore I am restricted to what I am programmed to."

The Emperor's final words lingered in his head, and he began to return to his senses.

His eyes widened as he realized what had happened before his memory awakened. His lips are now in contact with Niana's, and his hand is gripping her behind!

    All of this happened in an instant, but Julien felt as if he had been transported to another realm and had been there for months!

Julien realizes how awkward the situation is, and Niana's eyes are wide open as well. Her cheeks are flushed scarlet, and her heart is racing like mad!

She was surprised, and she was embarrassed! They kissed for 3 seconds before parting!

"S-sorry! I-I was afraid you'd trip and fall on the ground! I DIDN'T MEAN ANYTHING!"

    Julien began to be anxious and stammer. He waves with his hands to express what he means.

After a little period of silence, Niana, who is still sitting on the sofa and touching her lips while gazing at the ground and seeming like a red tomato, says...

“Thank you for catching me, and I'm alright.”

    .......

    A big, gorgeous island exists somewhere in an unknown universe. It is bordered by beautiful beaches and a clear blue sea.

There is a large silver castle in the center of that island, which is protected by a purple barrier. The animals on this island appear to be unaware of the existence of this fortress, as they play without concern.

Inside the castle, there is a massive, golden throne on which a stunning woman sits. Her purple hair is thrown across her shoulders, her eyes are closed, and her face is propped up on her right hand. She seemed to be deep in meditation.

   After a while, her eyelids slowly opened, as if the sun was rising, and she replied quietly, "Thanks to the gods for protecting you; we shall meet again, and this time I will never let you go."

   ..... 

    After finishing the supper they ordered, Julien gets ready to go. Since they were just talking about various topics for the previous two hours, nothing has happened.

The original intention for Julien was to convey his feelings to Niana. But with all those unpleasant circumstances, he worried that it would appear that he is taking advantage of the circumstance. Haste produces waste, as the saying goes, "I should definitely keep this for a while."

As Julien is ready to go, Niana is watching him.

Niana whispered, "Julien."

"Y-Yes? "

        Niana added, pausing for a moment, "Maybe you thought about this, but I want to say that we were friends for a while now and a close one, in some way. You should feel now that I am interested in you."

“I simply want to express that I like you very much and I am prepared to wait till you open your heart, she said, I realize that your priorities and being in a relationship is not part of it."

While listening, Julien sensed a chill similar to being drenched with ice water. He currently experiences a range of emotions, including regret, sadness, and delight.

    Since this occasion seldom arises and we don't regularly meet outside of the workplace, Niana decided that telling him about her feelings now was the best course of action.

Julien began to gather strength, firming his position, straightening his spine, and saying, "I like you Niana, and my feelings for you are genuine."

"I could seem pretty tough with that aspect, but I've been thinking for a while to confess my affections for you before it's too late," he says.

    After setting his suitcase down, Julien approaches Niana, who is seated upright on the sofa.

She is seated next to Julien, who takes her hand.

Niana just sits there staring down on her knees for a minute, blushing.

In response, Julien started to speak, saying, "I will be leaving this country for a time. I realize this is abrupt and soon questions will be coming out, but trust me, this is something I don't have any control over at the moment. I will be back, though, and I will take you with me."

      “Words cannot explain how I am happy right now and it feels like a new chapter of my life began to move.” Julien hugged Niana and kissed her.

Julien hugged and kissed Niana, saying, "Words cannot express how pleased I am right now and it feels like a new chapter of my life began to move."
