Ring of Fate

Chapter 855 Two Choices (Thanks to the Witch of 0ABAB5 for supporting the Silver Alliance)

Franca was stunned at first, then showed an obvious look of surprise.

She opened her mouth and subconsciously wanted to say something, but her rosy lips began to move uncontrollably.

Her face gradually turned pale, and her eyes sometimes flickered and sometimes became empty.

Lumian looked at Franca quietly without saying anything.

After a long while, Franka asked in a dry and difficult voice:
"You agreed?"

Her voice seemed to be squeezed out of her throat, and her eyes seemed to have a glimmer of hope.

Lumian nodded slowly.

The light in Franka's eyes dimmed.

She lowered her head a little bit and looked at her legs placed on the armchair.

After a few seconds, she whispered in a dreamy voice:

"I know that Janna's liking and attention to me was never love. I was just fantasizing that she couldn't find a suitable partner to digest the 'joy' potion and could only choose me reluctantly. And after being entangled physically for a long time, maybe their hearts would be closer...

"I know that Jenna is anxious to digest the potion because her brother is about to return to Trier...

“I know that being a female witch is a very dangerous path, and Janna knows that too…

“I know that her sexual orientation is male…

"I know she is a very decisive person who is very good at risking everything...

"I, I can accept that Jenna chooses someone else, I can accept that she likes someone else. She is free, she is independent, she is not my appendage. It is impossible that just because I like her, she must like me and cannot get close to others... I have been preparing myself mentally, and even comforted myself, saying that maybe I can use this incident to digest the 'pain' potion...

"But, but..."

Franca suddenly raised her head, her sparkling eyes burning with anger:

"Why you? Why the fuck is it you?"

Lumian felt like he was being stared at by a beautiful yet dangerous leopard, but he still didn't say anything.

The answer doesn't need to be stated.

It has been spoken.

Franca and Lumian looked at each other, their eyes gradually becoming sadder.

She laughed at herself and asked unwillingly and angrily:

"Why did you agree?"

"Two reasons, one superficial, one real. Which one do you want to hear?" Lumian said with a wry smile.

"I listen to both of them!" Franca said without hesitation.

She stood up, as if trying to make herself look more imposing.

Lumian sighed and said:

"The superficial reason is that Janna has already come to me. Whether I reject her or avoid her, it will hurt her, affect her condition, and leave hidden dangers. If I agree to her, it will hurt you. I can only choose the one that is easier to make up for later. You are optimistic and have a good personality. You should be able to let it go slowly..."

"Fuck! So people with good personalities deserve to be bullied, right?" Franca laughed in anger and interrupted Lumian.

She walked to the living room window, leaned her hands on the window frame, and stared at the darkness outside, as if trying to calm herself down.

Lumian came to her side and also cast his eyes into the deep darkness.

After more than ten seconds, Franka said to herself without turning her head:

"What's the real reason?"

Lumian was silent for a moment and said:

"From the moment you didn't want to lose your image in front of the person you truly loved and digested the 'joy' potion like before, and from the moment Janna took the initiative to approach you and recommended herself to you, your relationship has entered a whirlpool, spiraling downwards. Sooner or later, it will explode. The longer you delay, the more damage you will suffer and the more serious the consequences will be. It's better to end it sooner rather than later.

"For me, the best option is to delay this matter until the preparations for the Iron Knight promotion ceremony are complete. If everything goes well, it will only take three or four weeks. By then, I will have obtained divinity and become a Sequence 4 demigod. You two can have your emotional problems as you please. Even if it completely destroys the team's tacit understanding and unity, it will not affect me.

“Even if Sequence 3 also requires a team, I have enough time to reorganize it.”

Franka listened quietly, then turned her head to look at Lumian's face:
"What about your emotions?"

Lumian looked out into the darkness and remained silent without answering.

Franka remained silent for a while before she said expressionlessly:
"You go back first. I'm in a mess and I want some quiet time."

Lumian looked at Franca, hesitating and not moving.

Seeing this, Franka said with a complicated smile:
"Don't worry, I won't leave, I still have a mission.

"Why don't you leave? Do you want me to beat you up?

"Let me tell you, when I figure it out, I might cut off your private parts like that 'witch' Morola did! Anyway, you can grow them back, I'll cut them off once a day!
“Hurry up!

"Get out of here!"

Seeing that Franca was getting increasingly emotional and was about to throw something at him, Lumian sighed, walked to the door, opened it, and went up the stairs.

Bang!

Behind him there was the sound of a door slamming shut.

Lumian walked down the stairs and soon saw Janna standing silently in the shadows.

She didn't really go far away. She had been in this building, with her head slightly lowered, waiting quietly.

"How is it?" Janna raised her head and asked Lumian.

Lumian recounted the key points of his conversation with Franka and Franka's reaction.

Janna pursed her lips and said to Lumian:

"You go back first. I'll wait outside the door to prevent any accidents."

Lumian looked back at the dark corridor:

"I'm waiting here too."

Janna shook her head.
"I'm enough on my own. If she calms down, she might want to talk to me. You being here will only irritate her."

Lumian thought for a moment:
"it is good."

He looked at Janna's deep eyes which were filled with some pain, and sighed:

“Most people in this world are selfish most of the time.

"For example, you...

Lumienne paused and pointed at himself:
"For example, me."

Janna's eyes softened a little, and she said with a self-deprecating smile:

"Sometimes, I really want to drag you into the abyss with me."

…………

Back in the apartment he rented, Lumian lay on the bed, staring at the dark ceiling, unable to fall asleep.

He also didn't want to rely on meditation to calm himself down.

After an unknown amount of time, he suddenly had a premonition, sat up quickly, and looked towards the bedroom window.

The window creaked open and Franca, wearing a women's shirt, slim trousers and a pair of furry slippers, jumped in.

In the crimson moonlight, her eyes looked red, and she held a dagger in her hand.

“Thanks to you, I have digested a lot of my pain potion!” Franca said through gritted teeth as she looked at Lumian sitting on the bed. “Damn it, the more I think about it, the angrier I get!”

Lumian stared at Franka's face for a few seconds, and his eyes slowly fell on the dagger in her hand.

He waited for Franka to say the next words.

Franka gritted her teeth and said:
"I can accept Jenna's choice! Although I will be sad, heartbroken and in pain, I am willing to accept it and even encourage her.

"But you actually hurt my brother! You will be stabbed three times and stabbed six times for doing this!
"Do you know how much of a blow this has been to me? The three of us are so close, so understanding, and we can think of each other, why, why do you want to break this beautiful state?
"You do this, you make me feel abandoned. You two are so close to each other, but I am left behind, distanced, and become the redundant one...

"I feel betrayed..."

As she spoke, the gnashing of teeth in Franka's words became less intense, and a hint of confusion appeared in her voice.

She paused, then threw the dagger and stuck it accurately into Lumian's bed.

Franca took two steps forward and glared at Lumian.

"You only have two choices now!

"First, I've said before that if you dare to touch Janna, I'll give you a 'witch' potion and turn you into a woman. Now, one of your choices is to jump to another path and become a 'Witch of Despair'!
"Two, I fuck you, or you fuck me!"

Lumian had anticipated many developments, but not this choice.

Seeing his surprised, stunned, and confused expression, Franka added bitterly:
"I want to join you!"

"This..." Lumian finally said the first word and observed Franka's condition carefully.

After Franka said what she just said, she let out a long breath and showed her usual smile:

"Let me ask you, do you, uh, value me?"

“I value it.” Lumian answered with certainty.

Franka nodded with satisfaction:
"So do you value Janna?"

"I take it seriously." Lumian also said without any hesitation.

Franca pursed her lips and asked further:
"Does Jana value you?"

"I do." Lumian had no doubt at all.

Franka then asked:
"Do I value you?"

“I take it seriously.” Lumian nodded solemnly.

"Do I value Janna?" Franca asked.

“With great care,” Lumian added a modifier.

Franka hesitated and asked again:
"Then Janna, do you value me?"

"Very seriously. You are her relative and her best friend now." Lumian answered seriously.

Franka then raised her hand:
"Isn't that the end? We both value each other, and we don't know if we'll suddenly die someday, so let's just stay together. No one should abandon the other. It's just sex, and it's so annoying to keep loving each other! Damn love!"

Lumian was speechless for a moment. He looked at Franca and sighed:

"Your current mental state is kind of beautiful..."

Franka laughed:
"if not?"

At this point, she suddenly turned her head halfway, looked to the side, and her voice became a little louder:

"Should I give up and leave?"

Beside her eyes, drops of crystal liquid that had been brewing for a long time slowly slid down.

Lumian remained silent.

After a few seconds, Franca turned her head back, looked at Lumian with deep eyes, and said in a low voice:
“Because, in this world, you are the two people I value most.

"The only two..."

Under the crimson moonlight, her face was mottled.
