"W-what about her?" Devilia asked, looking back at Aslina. 

"We already talked about it. I had told her everything at the start," Ryder responded. "So, are you going to answer me?"

"Yes." Devilia stood up. 

"Yes to answering or yes to marriage?" Ryder asked, amused. 

"Yes to both!" Devilia exclaimed as she hugged Ryder tightly while kissing him on his lips.

Time kept trickling away as if it was at a race with itself instead of a race with others. 

Months turned to years and years to decades. 

Throughout these long years, Ryder had settled a good life for himself. The biggest problem for him was convincing Alice and Esmi, but after one year of struggle, he had managed to convince them. 

The two of them agreed to marry him. Despite all that, he didn't tell the two of them about Devilia and Aslina, keeping his life separate from the world of Divinity.
