With their respective emotions, Isabella and Caliph’s gazes were entangled in complexity. Then, Felix, who had been lost in thought, addressed Isabella.
Using that as an excuse, Isabella avoided Caliph’s gaze.
“So, summarizing your words, are you implying that the sudden recovery of your health and the situation where you can’t remember the events in the territory might be related?”
“Because the common factor in both events is the territory.”
Isabella nodded her head. Felix then looked at Isabella with a slightly more serious expression.
“Well, it’s not entirely groundless.”
At the end, a deep sigh escaped. Isabella stared at Felix without responding. Her face looked quite complex.
After being lost in thought for a while, he looked at Isabella with clearer eyes.
“Well, then I’ll tell you the story I know from now on.”
Isabella swallowed dryly. Felix’s well-organized voice brought an inexplicable tension.
“Having lived for centuries, I’ve never heard a story about abilities manifesting later in life.”
“…”
“Of course, Isabella, the same goes for your abilities. I’ve never heard of it, and I can’t find anything similar in books. I’ve read well over a hundred books, but I couldn’t find a single line related to your abilities.”
As Felix’s lengthy words continued, Isabella narrowed her eyes. The more she heard him speak, the more she felt like she was becoming an unusual person.
Perhaps realizing the meaning of her expression, Felix hastily added to his words.
“There’s no need for that expression. What I’m trying to say is… Isabella, I can’t guarantee anything about matters related to you.”
Even with Felix’s additional words, Isabella couldn’t easily erase the previous feeling. The confusion that had been swirling in her mind for a long time seemed to heat up even more.
“You have an ability that hasn’t even left a short line in the history books. So, there’s no reason to be surprised if your divine power manifested later in life.”
“…”
“Maybe, as you suspect, something might have happened to you while living in the territory. If the divine power manifested as a result of that incident, your feeling of experiencing something like falling into lava could be quite reasonable.”
“…”
“If you were on the fragile side, you might have suffered even more. It could have been challenging to handle the suddenly manifested divine power because of the impact.”
“…”
“Of course, in that case, you should have had the innate aptitude. The dormant divine power would have to manifest as a result of the postnatal influence.”
Isabella stubbornly pressed her lips together. If she had indeed suffered severely for the same reason, it seemed plausible that she couldn’t remember the events in the territory.
“…Is it possible not to remember the events in the territory for the same reason?”
Isabella asked with a voice filled with hesitation. Unlike her, who asked after deep contemplation, Felix readily nodded.
“It’s entirely possible. If all of that is true, handling the suddenly manifested divine power with your frail body wouldn’t have been easy, and the possibility of losing memories from that time due to the shock is sufficient.”
“…Then, is there a way to recover the lost memories?”
“Sorry, but I can’t return an answer to that question either. All the stories you’ve told me so far are just my speculations, and I can’t guarantee if they’re true.”
Felix shook his head as if expressing sympathy. It felt like the faint glimmer of hope he had briefly held was shattered in an instant.
Isabella lowered her head and let out a deep sigh.
“Ha… In the end, it seems there’s no other choice but for me to find a way to remember, no matter what it takes.”
“No. I’m sorry, but unlike Caliph, I don’t have the luxury to wait for you.”
Isabella’s eyes, soaked in disappointment, turned towards Felix. His expression reflected in her eyes, coupled with his tone and intonation, added impatience to her already uncomfortable emotions.
“What do you mean you don’t have the luxury? What kind of talk is that?”
“If I could understand why you suddenly acquired that ability, it might be refreshing, but anyway, what’s important to me right now is not why you gained that ability.”
“Then…”
Isabella, unable to hide the sudden surge of anxiety, blurted out. In response, Felix, taking a deep breath, stared at her with an unprecedented determination.
“To be straightforward, I need your ability, Isabella.”
My Ex-Girlfriend Is The Regent In The Female-dominant World (Male lead transmigrates to the matriarchal world)
Two years ago, Gu Sui picked up a homeless woman in ancient costume from the street.
Apart from occasionally claiming to be a princess from a female-dominant country due to illness, her figure, appearance, intelligence, and martial arts skills were impeccable.
Naturally evolving from roommates to girlfriends, as time went on, Gu Sui found it increasingly difficult to tolerate her queen syndrome.
“Mu Jiulu, can you stop controlling me inside and out? Let’s break up.”
Gu Sui made a breakup call, and since then, he couldn’t find any trace of her.
A year later, Gu Sui, who was planning to move, woke up the next day and found himself in a different place.
“Young Master, today is the day you choose your Wife-master through martial arts competition at Jade Dew Pavilion. Please get up quickly.”
Gu Sui: Who am I? Where am I? What am I doing?
As the only son of a general’s mansion in a female-dominant dynasty, the young empress personally issued a decree allowing Gu Sui to select his Wife-master through martial arts competition. Whoever could defeat him could marry him.
Gu Sui: “……”
He didn’t inherit the original owner’s martial prowess, so anyone could defeat him! And what the hell is a Wife-master?
Forced to come to Jade Dew Pavilion, the densely packed women below made Gu Sui’s agoraphobia act up, and his face was full of resistance.
Until he saw the Regent sitting on the second floor, with a smile on the corner of her lips, her eyes wicked and nonchalant.
Hmm… she looked a little familiar.
It turned out that the Regent also found him a little familiar.
Mu Jiulu fiddled with her bone clasp, her deep gaze locked on the man who was out of place in this world.
“Finally, I found you.”
