When Elanor stopped hugging Jas, tears began to fall from her eyes.
"This is my family, sir, I've always waited for your return...I wished Erebus, I begged for your return, never really thought this day would co." Elanor said suddenly and Ariel saw the look on Jas' face as she tried to understand what was going on.
Jas was happy, of course, the reason made sense, after all, Jas had spent a long ti wondering if Elanor might actually be alive because of the tower itself, even though he knew that the floor had ceased to exist, or rather was no longer existent.
"You never left my mind for a mont, I didn't even know if you were alright because I couldn't get back to that floor, everyone said you were just an illusion of what happened in the past or what the tower created, you seem more alive than any of them," Jas said.
Elanor had not left Jas's side for a second and had kindly introduced her own family to him, Jas had many questions, it was like the past mixed with the present, so the tower must have created this floor in such a way.
"Nice to et you all too, really..." Jas said suddenly.
Jas couldn't quite understand what the tower was trying to do, maybe there was sothing the tower was trying to tell him, but even if Jas wasn't letting his guard down, he could at least maintain his current happiness for a while.
Elanor led both Jas and Ariel gently into the main room of the mansion. There were many paintings in the room, and Jas himself seed to be in every one of them.
"Well, I never thought you loved so much," Jas said suddenly, and with that Elanor's gentle voice was heard again:
"Even though I was protected throughout the history of the tower, I died in agony as soon as the climbers finished their task, but when you finished your task, everything was different, everything that had happened in the past or could happen to in the future was gone. I was able to live perfectly for 20 years, I was able to build my family, but I never forgot the face of my saviour, you."
When Elanor said this, Jas opened his mouth to speak, but just as he was about to speak, Elanor's voice was heard again:
"In case sothing happened and I forgot your face in my old age, I had hundreds of your paintings made and hung in this mansion where you saved and brought peace to my family. I rebuilt the city and built a great city and had the rank of the duchess. 20 years... I am now 36 years old."
After these words, Elanor showed Jas the table in the main room and signalled him to sit down.
Elanor and her family seed to be smiling, even if Jas and Ariel were surprised by this, Jas did a little scan of the room with his mana just in case, and when he found no problems, he sat down on the armchair.
"Giving up the main seat of my family for my saviour would be an understatent...Master Jas." Elanor said and then as tears stread down her face she added "It's been 20 years for , I'm 36 years old and the white colour fell to my hair, but you...you don't seem to have aged an hour, forgive for standing before you in such a disgusting way."
Jas paused for a few seconds after these words, it had been almost two years for Jas, after all, he had climbed the first 10 floors very, very quickly.
Then Jas stood up and approached Elanor standing in front of him took her by the hands and said, "It has been 20 years for you and 2 years for , dear Elanor. Looking at what you have done in 20 years, there is nothing to say, this seat is not mine, it is yours." and then he chuckled and spoke once more:
"And also, I can read the ssages from my wife right now, she's quite jealous, if the most beautiful woman I've ever seen is jealous of you, that ans you haven't lost any of your beauty."
Jas was indeed seeing ssages from his wife Nesis out of the corner of his eye, you could tell she was quite jealous.
However, Jas realised that this was no illusion. After all, he could see Elanor and her husband, their grown children and many others. This ant that for the first ti, Jas was going to ask the tower for sothing strange.
He took the Void Pen out of his inventory, put it in his pocket, and then sent a polite ssage to Ariel, "I need a little ti."
Ariel naturally shook her head, wondering what it was about, and then, shaking her head again as if she understood, she spoke aloud, "Are you going to try to claim the rights of this floor?"
Elanor and her family were surprised to hear those words, and Elanor herself was especially delighted.
Jas waved his arms after these words and then said, "There is a reason why I addressed to your mind directly, MOM."
When Elanor heard the word 'mom', she turned to Ariel with her mouth open and said, "Forgive , my lady...I mistook you for a bodyguard, I apologise."
"Never mind, things happened," Ariel replied, and with that, Jas' voice was heard again.
"So I'm going to put in a request to the tower, it's happened in the past, though it's almost always been denied. I don't know of anyone other than Cain the Tailor and Nyx and Erebus who owns a floor of the tower outright," Jas said suddenly, and with that Ariel's voice was heard.
"Well, sort that out and then tell about your ancestor, will you? I'm still waiting, and I know you've been avoiding it," Ariel said, trying to kill two birds with one stone.
Jas shook his head in boredom and then turned to Elanor and said, "Give a while, I need to use the system to talk to the tower itself, who knows, maybe I'll succeed." then asked, "Is there a space I can use, maybe a garden?"
There were things he had to do.
