Ring of Fate

Chapter 856 Confession (Update in advance and ask for guaranteed monthly ticket)

Looking at the sparkling spots and mottled marks on Franka's face, Lumian suddenly recalled his sister Auror and the loneliness she exuded every time she looked at the starry sky from the roof.

He also thought of the life he and Aurore had lived together in the village of Cordu, the pain that pierced his bones and soul when his sister died and the village of Cordu was destroyed, and how he was full of self-destructive impulses when he first came to Trier. He thought of how he overcame his resistance and rebuilt his social relationships step by step, starting with Franca, Janna, Charlie, and many other tenants of the Golden Cockerel Inn.

There aren't many people in this world that I care about... Lumian let out a long sigh.

He sighed more often in the past two days than when Morola, Julie, Albus Medici and others were plotting against each other and encountering various dangers.

From time to time he would get so upset that he wanted to burn the world down.

Franka's words just now completely hit his heart. He already knew what kind of answer he would give, but he still wanted to struggle a little longer.

He looked at Franca, smiled bitterly and said:

“Attention doesn’t need to be reflected in that one thing.

"Besides Aurore, you and Janna are the two people I value most."

Franka shook her head without hesitation:

"No! I will feel unwilling and like an outsider!

"You promised Janna, so you have to promise me too. Now that you've made this promise, don't think about taking it back! You should have understood this when you made the decision. If a bowl full of water is not level, the water inside will definitely flow out!

“As a team leader, you must remember three things when dealing with each member:
"Fair! Fair! It's damn fair!"

"But this kind of thing..." Lumian responded subconsciously, "I can't just let Anthony sleep if I want to, right?"

"You must agree!" Franca walked to the bed, looked down at Lumian who was sitting there, and said viciously, "Who told you to sleep with Janna first? Unless Anthony himself doesn't want to, or you think that she is a player who can be discarded and replaced!"

Lumian rubbed his forehead with a headache:
What a strange logic...

Why does Franka always have so many weird reasons...

Lumian looked at Franca and smiled bitterly:

"Is this how you digest the Instigator potion?"

Without waiting for Franca's response, he sighed again:
"I promise you."

He then added:

"But I only represent myself. You have to speak to Janna yourself."

This refers to joining that sentence.

Franka's body suddenly shook, as if she had temporarily lost strength.

Her expression slowly relaxed and she said, "Hehe":
"We'll talk about it later. All I want now is your promise."

"Besides, Janna and I..." Lumian originally wanted to say that he and Janna only agreed to stay together until the "joy" potion was digested, but he felt that it was not appropriate to say it at this time and in this situation.

Franca looked at him, and with a tired look on her face, she once again showed that teasing expression:
"You haven't said which choice you agreed to. I'm more looking forward to you becoming the 'Witch of Despair', or me anally fucking you."

"The remaining option." Lumian replied helplessly.

Franka let out a long breath:

"also."

She seemed to have lost the hard shell that supported her, and she looked very weak.

She waved her hand and said:

"Then I'll go back and rest first."

“I thought…” Lumian was slightly surprised.

Franka rolled her eyes at him:
"What do you think? I've been through such a big shock and have been sad for so long. My emotions and state are not right. How can I be in the mood to do that? Anyway, you have agreed to it. Just put it on the account first and wait until I recover."

My mind and soul also need some time to relax... Lumian sighed silently.

After watching Franca jump out of the window and disappear into the night outside, Lumian walked to the bedroom door and opened it.

Janna was sitting quietly in the darkness of the sofa area.

Lumian was not surprised by Janna's appearance. She had been waiting outside Franka's door, and Franka was in a very intense mood, so it would be difficult for her not to be discovered and followed when she went out.

"I didn't expect it to turn out like this." Lumian sighed to Jenna.

Jana stood up and said with a smile:
"Although I didn't expect it either, I just thought about it for a while and felt that it seemed, it seemed acceptable. Well, it only refers to you and her. This is much better than the worst outcome I expected."

“What’s the worst possible outcome you foresee?” Lumian breathed a sigh of relief.

Jane said with a bit of sadness, guilt and pain in her eyes:
“Franka lost her mind and wanted to kill us.

"I will agree, but I will also hide for a while and see her again after I have arranged Julian's future."

Lumian looked at Janna for a few seconds, then sighed and said:
"Ever since your mother passed away, you've actually had quite a few self-destructive tendencies. We thought we had completely cleared them up for you, but we didn't expect it to still be hidden a little bit."

Janna looked at Lumian with bright eyes:
"Aren't you too?"

Lumian responded to her gaze, and after two seconds he laughed:
“Is this a patient exchange meeting now?”

"Yes." Janna pointed to the door, "I'll go talk to Franca and discuss the condition in a couple of days."

"Okay." Lumian nodded slightly.

…………

Orosei Street 9, Apartment 702.

Franka opened her eyes and leaned back in the armchair, swaying gently as the chair rocked.

Boom boom boom!
She heard a knock on the door and realized there was someone outside.

It's very easy to be assassinated in this state... Franka reflected on herself, stood up and walked towards the door.

She could guess who was outside the door.

Sure enough, she saw Janna in vampire makeup.

She opened her mouth, not knowing what to say, but just made way and let Janna come in.

After Janna sat on the single sofa, she smiled and said to Franca who had returned to the armchair:

"I heard everything you said to Lumian just now."

"..."Franca's face, which was originally a little pale, quickly turned red.

awkward!

So embarrassing!

It's so embarrassing that I want to crawl into the ground!
Janna laughed softly:
"Actually, I'm more looking forward to the other two options."

Franka could only laugh.

Jana stared at her face and said seriously:
"I can tell there's something else going on behind that last choice. Can you tell me what it is?"

Franka was silent for a few seconds and said:
"That bastard Lumian must have told you that you should wait until you have digested the 'joy' potion. I don't know him!"

As she spoke, Franca felt a little indignant on behalf of Janna.

Then she sighed and said:
"If I join, Lumian will be embarrassed to propose a deadline in this situation. At that time, for the sake of fairness, he should not ask you again."

Janna closed her eyes, as if blown by the wind.

She looked at Franca with eyes that became unusually gentle, and said with a wry smile:

"But this is just a false realization. I can't fool myself."

"Fake is better than nothing. If it's fake for a long time, it may become true." Franka showed a self-deprecating smile. "For a long time, it's better to be fake. Knowing it's fake is better. It will help us digest the potion."

Looking at Janna, she suddenly became emotional and had a lot to say:
"I may be a coward. I have liked you for a long time, but I have never dared to truly pursue you or express my feelings. On this matter, I have been hesitant and retreating every day."

In the current atmosphere, Franka suddenly found that it was not difficult to say the words "I like you".

This difficulty made her even more sad.

Janna looked at Franca without any anger and didn't say anything.

She could sense that what Franka really wanted to say was coming up next.

After a few seconds, Franka gritted her teeth and said:
“I’ve got something to hide from you.

"I, I was originally a man."

"I know." Jenna replied calmly, with some encouragement in her eyes, "It's a witch's potion."

"You really know." Franca was not surprised. She mustered up her courage and continued, "There is one more thing. I, I am not from this world. I came from another world. I, I occupy this body."

Janna blurted out in astonishment:
"Another world?"

Suddenly, she had an idea:
"The world of 'Underworld Man' and 'Heavenly Master'?"

After working together for so long, Franka often forgot whether she had told Janna about the relevant things, and she would accidentally say them out from time to time. Therefore, Janna had known these terms for a long time, but she didn't know what they specifically stood for. She just regarded them as powerful people in high positions.

"Yes, there is also the Easter Island." After Franca revealed this secret, she felt a lot more relieved.

Jenna showed an expression of sudden enlightenment:
"No wonder you were so excited after getting Harrison's intelligence..."

"So, you understand why I always want to summon Armored Shadow?" Franka asked a little nervously, "You, you don't mind that I'm just a person who occupies someone else's body, right?"

"Why should I mind? Unless the Franka I know has been replaced by someone else." Janna responded with a smile, clearly expressing her attitude.

Franka relaxed completely, almost collapsing in the armchair.

Janna thought about it and tried to ask:

"Lumian's sister, and those participants in the occult gathering with strange code names, are they also from your world?"

"Yes, but I can't tell you the rest. I can only tell you about myself." Franca sighed, "I used to dream of going home, returning to my own world. So every time I had the urge to take a step towards you, I couldn't help but ask myself, can you afford her future? When you have the chance to go home, will you stay for her? Would it be too cruel to let her follow you to a strange world? Would she be willing to go with you? Could she go with you...

“Every time I asked these questions, I backed off…

"It has always been so contradictory, and there has never been any practical action."

Janna listened with gentle eyes, and waited until Franca finished speaking before she smiled and said:

"You are one of the most gentle people I have ever met, and I am glad that you were there to help me through the most difficult times."

She looked at Franca, hesitated and said:
"Do you still want to go home now?"

Franca was silent. The crimson moonlight outside the window had dimmed at some point.

After a few seconds, Franka replied in a low voice:

"meeting……"
