Lexie and Scarlett shifted their gaze to the door, waiting for Ren and Liam to enter the private room.
Shortly after that, the sound of soone opening the door entered their ears.
Scarlett instantly rose to her feet and her body quivered for two seconds when she saw the young n entering the private room.
One of them was soone she loved dearly.
She was soone she missed every day and he was soone who always appeared in her mind.
Ren!
Lexie did not tell his full na when she introduced him, so she thought they were two different people with the sa na.
But now, she finally realized that they were the sa person.
He was her husband!
"Ren..." Scarlett’s voice trembled and tears of happiness filled her eyes.
Ren stopped his footsteps when he heard a familiar voice. "Scarlett?"
He knew she was a city mistress, but he did not expect her to be the Ruler of Nightshire City.
Of course, he was happy because he also missed her very much.
After all, he still regarded her as his dear wife.
"Oh! The lady from the abode?" Liam uttered.
’So, she is the Ruler of this city, huh?’
She finally knew who the city mistress of Nightshire City was.
Unlike Liam, Lexie was shocked.
Ren did not go into detail about what happened in the illusion test, so she had no idea what was going on.
’What’s going on? Why are they behaving like that? Do they know each other?’
Countless questions popped up in her mind.
As Lexie was trying to understand the situation, Scarlett rushed toward Ren.
"Ren!" a tear of joy fell as she ran to him.
Ren embraced her as his heart throbbed with happiness. After getting separated from her for two weeks, he finally t her again.
"Scarlett!" Ren hugged her tighter as he released the deep longing in his heart.
At that mont, they forgot that Lexie and Liam were around them because it was the day they had been waiting for.
Scarlett stopped the hug and looked at him in the eyes. "Ren, I miss you. I really miss you."
"I miss you too." Rem embraced her again.
As Ren and Scarlett were expressing their longing, Lexie approached them slowly.
However, she did not disturb them and only stood next to Liam.
"What’s going on? Do they know each other?" Lexie threw a question at Liam.
"They have a special relationship." Liam responded, "It can be said you are his first woman and she is his second girlfriend."
Black lines ford on Lexie’s forehead.
’What kind of explanation is that?’
She did not ask more questions and only stared at them.
She had no jealousy or hatred in her heart as if she knew that Ren would have more than one woman.
"Ren, when did you co to my city?" Scarlett inquired.
"Two months ago." He told her that he ca to Nightshire City after his hotown was destroyed by countless magical beasts.
"You are from Verneau Town?" Scarlett knew what had happened to Verneau Town, but she did not know that he was from Verneau Town.
"Yes." He nodded his head.
"Ren, Scarlett, how about we sit first? We can chat again at the table." Lexie uttered.
Ren and Scarlett shifted their gaze to Lexie before finally looking at each other again.
"Alright." They answered in unison as they nodded their heads.
After sitting on chairs, they talked again.
"You two seem close. Have you two t before?" Liam did not give a satisfactory answer, so Lexie asked the sa question.
Ren and Scarlett did not answer imdiately; instead, they exchanged a glance with each other.
Had they t before?
Of course!
Not only had they t before, but they were also a married couple.
They shared many things and lived together for sixty years.
They even had two children.
However, everything only happened in the illusion world, so their relationship was quite complicated.
"Yes." Ren answered. "We t in the abode."
"Oh, abode?" Lexie knew that Ren explored abode with many awakeners before but he did not explain anything related to Scarlett.
"Ren, do you really want to be a citizen of my city?" Scarlett inquired.
"Yes. I want to beco a citizen of your city." Scarlett was the Ruler of Nightshire City, so Ren agreed instantly because all the people who were important to him lived in Nightshire City.
Lexie was startled by Ren’s answer.
Previously, he always showed signs that he had no interest in becoming a citizen of Nightshire City.
However, everything changed after he t Scarlett.
He even agreed without thinking twice as if becoming a citizen of Nightshire City was his dream.
’It seems like their relationship is deeper than I thought.’
She planned to ask many things when she was alone with Ren.
"What about you, Liam? Do you also want to be a citizen of my city?" Scarlett inquired.
"Yes." Liam knew who Scarlett was and Nightshire City was a beautiful City, so he agreed instantly.
"I will prepare the docunts later. Please co to my office tomorrow." Scarlett let him beco one of her people because he was Ren’s friend and he was a good person.
"By the way, city mistress, how are Colonel Aidan and Brigadier General Zac?" Liam inquired.
"They are fine. They are on duty right now." Scarlett was aware of his friendship with her subordinates. "You can visit them after this if you want."
"Great!" Liam planned to et them because they were from the sa city now.
Shortly after that, two waiters entered the private room with delicious food and drinks.
Lexie dragged Liam out after eating.
She wanted to give Ren and Scarlett so alone ti because they seed to miss each other a lot.
After Lexie and Liam walked out of the private room, Scarlett held Ren’s right hand and leaned her head on his right shoulder.
They were alone now, so they did not hold back themselves anymore.
"Ren, do you rember your last words before you died in the illusion world?" Scarlett inquired.
"Yes." He responded.
Scarlett stopped holding his right hand and turned her body, facing him. "Then, do you still love ?"
"Yes." There was no pause between her question and his answer because he truly loved her from the bottom of his heart.
"Then do you still regard as your wife?" Scarlett threw another question at him.
"Yes." He answered.
Tears of happiness fell down her soft cheeks. "Ren..."
If the citizens of Nightshire City saw her, they would think she was soone who used magic to change her appearance to beco their city mistress because their city mistress was not a weak woman like that.
She was a strong, caring, fair, firm, and cool person.
She was a perfect leader, not like a frail woman in front of Ren.
Of course, those were just the personalities she chose to show to her people.
She was the lord of Nightshire City, so many people would take advantage of her or cause trouble if she looked weak and easy.
Ren wiped off her tears and said in a loving voice, "Be it in the real world or the illusion world, you are still the most important person in my life. You are half of my soul."
"Ren!" Scarlett embraced him tightly.
She was happy.
She was glad that she finally t her husband again.
