Chapter 20 Face It Together

"Okay," Olvido smiled and sat beside Elena.

At this moment, Olvido's handsome face was covered by the shadow, and he lowered his beautiful eyes lonely.

The moon was shining brightly in the night sky, which made Olvido lonelier.

This man, who always wore a snicker and was confident, might only be the real himself in front of Elena, revealing his fragile and soft.

"Olvido, you have been unhappy since the riot of students. Can you tell me what happened? I... I'm worried about you."

Elena said sadly, with infinite worry and tenderness in her eyes.

Olvido's heart softened. He reached out his hand and touched Elena's head

"Silly girl, I'm fine. Do you still remember that my mother died a long time ago? When the students rioted that day, I felt the same energy as when my mother died."

Elena was surprised. Wasn't Olvido's mother's death an accident?

"You mean your mother was killed?"

"Yes..."

Olvido nodded and kept silent for a while. Then he continued,

"At that time, I was very young. I went out to learn magic from my teacher. My mother had prepared breakfast for me early. Before leaving, she kissed me and told me to study hard. When she came back, she would cook more delicious food for me."

"But... when I successfully learned the magic of plant curing and was about to go home to show it to my mother, I received the news of my mother's accidental death from the servants..."

Olvido said in a choked voice.

"Then I only saw my mother's corpse. The other wizards said that my mother was poisoned by the dead vine poison and died for not being treated in time. But I don't believe it!"

"My mother is a powerful and smart person. How could she be easily poisoned? Even if she was poisoned, how could she let herself die without being cured? Moreover, I felt an energy around my mother, but everyone around me said that it was an illusion caused by excessive sadness! No! That was not an illusion..."

Olvido's body began to tremble. Elena felt sorry for him and hugged Olvido without hesitation.

For a moment, Olvido felt that the world was quiet.

Feeling Elena's unique aura, Elena patted Olvido's back and said,

"It's okay. I'm here, Olvido."

The word "I'm here" warmed Olvido's heart.

Olvido relaxed himself and let Elena hold him. He was greedy for warmth.

After a while, Olvido slowly distanced himself from Elena,

"Do you believe me? I didn't have an illusion. There is really something wrong with my mother's death."

"Yes, I believe you."

Elena said firmly. She believed whatever Olvido said.

Olvido had been silently protecting her all the time. Since she came to the world of magic for no reason, it was because of Olvido that she could stay safe till now.

After his mother died, Olvido was forced to become a sensible child. He had to adjust himself to the environment and be a sensible child.

But now Elena was with him. He didn't have to pretend to be good anymore. He could tell Elena what he was thinking. And Elena would always heal him and give him the greatest trust and warmth.

At first, Olvido stayed with Elena just to fulfill his mother's wish. But now it was different.

Elena was not only his fiancée but also the one he Olvido loved.

Like a lonely boat sailing on the boundless sea, Elena was the harbor that could stay permanently.

"In fact, Olvido, have you found that everything that has happened since we entered the school seemed to be done by someone on purpose? It might be a coincidence at the beginning, but now it's not a coincidence anymore."

Elena said thoughtfully.

Olvido nodded and said,

"Yes, my mother, and your mother must have experienced something unknown in the past. It seems that there is an invisible hand controlling everything behind them. Do you think this riot of students may be also aimed at us?"

Olvido said affirmatively.

"Well, I also think the ultimate goal is us. And our rings. I think our mother must have a purpose to leave them to us!"

"Olvido." Elena raised her head and looked at Olvido.

"What?"

"Let's find out the truth about your mother's death and the unsolved mystery on me. From now on, we will face the unknown together."

"Okay!"

Olvido smiled. For the first time in these days, he smiled with satisfaction and relief.

"It might be very dangerous in the future." Olvido joked.

"I'm not afraid to have you. Of course, I'll protect you."

Elena replied with a red face. She was still not used to such words.

"Thank you, little cutie."

Elena and Olvido looked at each other and smiled with satisfaction.

The stars in the night sky were shining.

Someone said that every time people said goodbye, one star in the sky would extinguish.

Similarly, every time they met, the star in the sky would shine again.

Looking at the stars all over the sky, Elena and Olvido felt that they were two stars destined to meet.

The person one would meet in his life was even recorded by the sky.
