Although Qiluo and the others all said that this was Ash's decision and told me not to fall into his trap easily, to be honest, I don't really hate it. After all, what's that saying? This is already an agreement with him, right?

"What are you worried about, Princess?"

"Well, I may be the princess of the Kingdom of Hope, but I'm only a princess." Contemplating the various difficulties she faced, Yongjiu, unaware of the situation, naturally answered the question posed from behind. "As a mere princess, I have no idea how to be a proper queen."

Now that she had acquired the status, she had to shoulder the responsibility! If she truly wanted to be the queen, she didn't want to disappoint anyone, whether they were the people of the Kingdom of Night, whom she had yet to meet, or the people of her hometown, the Kingdom of Hope!

"It's fine."

A warm feeling covered his head, and the gentle touch could easily make people feel the joy from the heart of the visitor.

"Don't think too much. Leave all the troublesome things to me. Just continue to be yourself."

What a warm feeling... If I could be touched by such warmth, the sense of security that I lack in a foreign country would continue to emerge from my chest.

"Yes, I will...!"

Wait, who is this!

"Yo!"

"King—King!?"

He was almost frightened and jumped up from the bench. Even when he saw Ash greeting him with a playful smile, Yongjiu still looked very nervous.

"I—your Majesty! I'm so sorry I didn't notice you. I'm so sorry!"

"Alright." Ash took a step forward and pressed her shoulder, stopping the subsequent bowing. "Don't address me like that anymore. You're my queen, and you don't need any special honorifics."

The people call me that out of their heartfelt respect for me. If you say the same thing, it would feel like I'm bullying you.

"Why is Ash here?"

"Why? You're my princess, my queen, my Pretty Cure. Why are you telling me?"

When Ash spoke, he was always overbearing and unreasonable, but it was this Ash who gave her a sense of security that was multiplied in front of Yongyuan.

"Ash..."

Looking at this man with a glowing light behind him (Kivat was holding a flashlight to provide some light), Yongjiu's eyes flickered a little.

Really, strong and gentle.

He's such a good king, so why is everyone insisting that Ash and I keep our distance? Hmm... maybe there's some misunderstanding? No matter how I think about it, this is the only possible reason.

"What's wrong Yongjiu, are you unhappy?"

"No, I was just thinking about something." Yongjiu shook his head, trying to hide his feelings. But even if he hadn't heard from Qiluo and the others before, Ash could tell something was wrong just by looking at her expression. "I think I hurt everyone's kindness, and now I don't know what to do."

"It's okay. I promise you, none of them will blame you." Ash patted his chest and guaranteed that the Pretty Cure were broad-minded.

"I know, everyone is a good kid! It's just that I..."

As she spoke, she became depressed again as if she was deflated.

"It's just that I..."

"I'm not worthy of them. It's obvious that someone like me doesn't deserve their kindness, let alone the love of a great man like Ash."

"..."

"Compared to me, there are definitely more beautiful and kind people in this world who are worthy of Ash's love! The reason why I became a Pretty Cure is only because a miracle gave me the opportunity to atone for my sins--"

"Okay, okay, you don't have to say anything."

Originally, Ash wanted to enlighten her slowly, but when he saw that she was still stuck in a dead end, he couldn't help it.

"Forever. You don't have to be ashamed of being Twilight."

"Instead, be proud of it!"

Sure enough, I still prefer a more direct approach.

"Eh?"

"I'm saying, have you forgotten something? You want to carry the part of Twilight's memory and atone for the mistakes. This is all your own idea, and no one wants to interfere."

"But have you ever considered that this part is also you? Are you ignoring the rest of you, from your heart to your soul, rather than just the part that bears your sins?"

It's impossible, this kind of thing.

Chapter 136 The Return of Twilight and the Belated Confession

"I have never seen such a big thing before. I have never seen such a big thing before. I have never seen such a big thing before. I have never seen such a big thing before! I have never seen such a big thing before! I have never seen such a big thing before! I have never seen such a big thing before!

"It is precisely because you were once Twilight that you and I have the opportunity to meet again."

"Do you want to deny this truth?"

“That kind of thing…!”

Yongjiu really wanted to express his disapproval, but deep down he couldn't do it.

"But! When I was Twilight, I was always doing bad things and making mistakes!"

So I want to atone for my sins and make amends for them, but you want me to accept them with pride?

For a princess like Yongyuan who has literally lived in an ivory tower since childhood, the world is purely black and white. So when Ash said something in the gray area and wanted her to admit it, it was like an earthquake with a shockwave-sized impact on her worldview.

"It's not entirely wrong, isn't it? Look, wasn't Haruka deeply moved by the purity of Twilight's performance?"

"If you just blindly view the entire past as an enemy, then aren't you just making yourself uncomfortable? That's why reconciliation is so important!"

Your past is not just your sin, it is also your strength.

"Ash."

The girl stood up from the bench and looked at Ash who was leaning on the back of the chair. She bit her thin red lips with her white teeth and finally spoke with difficulty.

"Why? The one you actually like...is it Twilight?"

Am I the one who is not needed?

"Whether it's Permanent or Twilight, I like them both," the man said without hesitation.

Ash knew that it was a bit of a scumbag for him to say that he liked "another" in front of the girl, but so what? Just be a scumbag.

"..."

More importantly, there is no falsehood in his "two hearts" for this love.

"So I don't want to forever feel that Twilight is just a false memory." Without shying away from gazing into those crimson eyes, Ash exposed his eyes and heart to the girl without reservation. "I hope I love the real you!"

Your past not only represents your sins, but will also become your strength!

"The real...me."

When the crimson color of the eyes faded, Ash immediately felt himself being hugged tightly again.

"Woo!"

She rested her head in the man's arms, rubbing her tears. The soft, bright red hair that passed through Ash's fingers slowly turned into silver-white from deep within.

It was Twilight. When Forever stopped viewing everything in the past as a mortal enemy that had to be abandoned, the part of Twilight that belonged to her was successfully resurrected.

"Thank you, Ash."

Now, I have lost everything and I have also lost my shackles. No one can stand between you and me anymore.

Even if there are, I believe that both you and I can break down all the obstacles!

So I want to say, I want to say! Those belated words that should be given to Ash!

"Ash, I... like you!"

"I must like you more than forever!"

"Welcome back, Twilight."

The time she spent as Twilight in this body actually exceeded her time as eternity. Even if she had been driven to the depths of despair by the power of the Witch of Despair, since she could transcend eternity with encouragement, it was impossible for Twilight's personality to disappear.

"I, like my other self said, have nothing left. I'm nothing." If the previously dazed Yongjiu was adorable, then the now silvery figure, having ripped away all her outer shells and clung to Ash, unwilling to let go, is a woman of poignant beauty. "I thought I was powerful, noble, and dignified, but in the end, my overconfidence made me nothing."

It may even be the opposite and cause trouble.

"Will Ash still like me even if I'm like this?"

"Of course, I prefer this Twilight who can recognize herself now."

Pushing aside her smooth bangs, the man approached and placed a gentle kiss on her smooth forehead. The girl trembled slightly at this intimate and warm breath, but did not avoid it.

"You said before that there must be someone out there who's right for me? You're absolutely right. The Earth is so big, I'm sure I can find someone prettier."

"But it's not necessary."

Taking advantage of the time it took to reveal her soft insides after peeling off her proud, cold outer shell, a delighted Ash rubbed the girl's soft face to his heart's content.

"I will only like you guys who I like. I don't want anyone else except you. Do you understand?"

"!"

The girl's eyes shifted constantly, her hair tinging from red to silver, the only constant being the deep red in her cheeks. Both the Eternal and Twilight parts of this body were conquered by Ash's corny, cheesy love talk.

It’s easy to make the princess bowl because I’m the king of the alien time traveler~!

Taking advantage of the opportunity when her AT power was greatly activated, Ash took her hand and walked back the way they came.

Twilight's hands were long and cold, but now the palms of Yongjiu's hands that had turned back into theirs were filled with warmth and softness, which made Ash, who had been pinching them all the way, even more reluctant to let go.

"If you intend to atone for your sins, I don't want to lecture you. But I just want to ask you a few questions. If Haruka and the others who are fighting against Castle Despair also come to help, will you chase them away to prevent them from taking your lives?"

"It's not that bad..."

"Then why are you still agonizing? Isn't that the end of it?" Ash clapped his hands. "When encountering an enemy, the simplest and most straightforward way to deal with them is always to surround them and kick them in the face."

Apart from me, I'm too strong and don't need any help from anyone else, haha!

"Besides, you always think the worst and think you have to have a Sima face, otherwise your atonement won't be serious enough."

Sorry, I have the exact opposite idea.

"You said, if even the person who helps others is not happy enough."

"Then what persuasive words can make others happy and save their dreams?"

Ash paused when he said this. For some reason, he felt a little sad when he said this.

"More importantly, the source of Pretty Cure's power has always been a beautiful and warm heart. If you really want to defeat Disdak, isn't this tantamount to tying your own hands?"

Come to think of it, I do think I have some pretty good understanding of Precure.

"Heart? I think...I understand something."

Taking her hands off her chest, the girl finally smiled with relief.

"Thank you, Ash."

"Haven't you already said that once?"

"No, this is my first time."

Chapter 137 My Princess, Named Red City Forever (4K Chapter)

As expected of Pretty Cure, she's so passionate~

He thought Yongjiu was shy but wanted to express his gratitude, so he thanked him twice. Now he didn't realize the deep meaning of Yongjiu's insistence on "first time".

"You are the queen, so you don't have to be so polite all the time. At least you understand."

Ash, who usually has "evil intentions" towards them, always strikes hard at their strategies, but sometimes it happens that it is his turn to become the challenger. If no one points it out, he is really stupid for not realizing it.

"Anyway, don't forget, they and I are always behind you."

After fighting for half a day, sweating profusely and talking for so long, Ash smacked his lips, feeling his mouth was indeed dry from not having drunk any water for a long time. Yongjiu, noticing this, immediately looked around with concern, and she actually found her target right away.

"Ash, there seems to be a drink here. It's in a big box like this. Can I have it? Eh?!"

Seeing the wide variety of drinks displayed inside, the girl who wanted to run errands for Ash curiously pressed the most conspicuous button on the vending machine. When she saw the drink bottles gurgling out from the bottom, she didn't react at once and was so scared that she screamed and hid behind Ash.
