"Sorry, Wendy," William's voice, that was riddled with shame, and guilt, permeated within his Spiritual World. "I used you as bait in order to get close to Carter. I placed you in the way of great harm and he almost succeeded in forcing you to do things that you would have never done in your sober state.
"I don't know if you hate me right now, but know this, I will accept any punishment that you will give me once I recover. I'm sorry if you feel disillusioned with me. If you want to put an end to our relationship then I will accept it. I am the one at fault and I don't deserve someone like you in my life."
Wendy clenched her fist and lightly pounded William's chest. She had forgotten that the Half-Elf had told them not to interrupt his words. The feelings in her heart had burst out, which caught the two girls beside her by surprise.
In regards to what happened in the last chapters, I understand that all of you reacted that way because you really cared and loved this story, for that I am always grateful.
Thinking back, this is quite similar to Celine's enslavement chapter. Perhaps the transition wasn't that smooth, so you guys reacted this way.
Nevertheless, like I said, I am very happy because I managed to touch your heartstrings with Belle's Mini Arc, and make you rage with Carter's Arc.
Perhaps, my writing skills wasn't enough to convey what I wanted to happen. Some of you even lovingly told me that "I didn't connect the dots properly".
Mmm, I will admit that I might have made you guys take a leap, instead of taking a step as the story progressed.
Although the transitions wasn't to your liking, know that's also part of the experience, and my own personal journey of becoming an Author.
The lessons I learned along the way will help me write a more compelling story that will leave my mark in your hearts.
This Volume is about to end, and a new Volume will begin shortly. The Kingdom War Arc is about to happen, and it will be filled with sugar, spice, and everything "Bloody" nice.
Let me just ask you this. Are you guys ready for another rollercoaster ride?
Are you guys prepared to deal with an Antagonist that is two times worst than Carter?
Or must I tone him down a bit so all of you will not suffer from constipation and anxiety?
Although we have a love-hate relationship, I wanted to be THAT one author who you guys will remember the most in this platform called Webnovels.
May you enjoy William's interaction with his "Mermaid Wife" as he set out on a journey to B*tchslap Foes and Gods alike.
See you all in the next chapters!
