章節 754: Focus on the Present

Tycondrius opened his eyes to find Elle sitting over him, tears spilling down her face.

...He had made a mistake. 

Throughout his life, he'd made plenty of mistakes. 

Rena of Leopardon had placed her trust in him. 

He failed her. 

...That, he could not change. 

The past was a lesson-- albeit a painful one. He had to learn from it... not allow it to consume him. 

More than once, Tycon had advised his peers and subordinates to do the same. It would behoove him to heed his own advice... 

He sat up, kissed Elle's tear-stained cheek and slowly wrapped his arms around her, "No... I should be the one to apologize..."

He had been selfish. 

The fault of most of his issues was likely just that. He'd always been selfish. 

It didn't matter whether or not their romantic relationship would succeed in the long-term. 

Classifying his feelings towards her... be it love or delusion-- that too, was unimportant.
