Fifty

"So, I just remembered everything" you announce to Claude, whose expression doesn't change at all.

"Good, now we can get married"

His words made you laugh nervously, as you play with your fingers.

"Well...you see, we can't do that" you start, which made him give you an icy stare.

"Why not?" He asks as he places the treat in his mouth.

"Because you see, what was between us should have never happened"

You are pretty sure that your words made the situation one hundred percent worst than it already is.

"We are getting married next month, so prepare yourself"

You clutch your fists in anger, not likening his stubborn and cold aura.

"If you missed me as you claim, then why did you get engaged to Penelope" you point out.

This is a pity way to place the blame on his side.

But, it is worth a try.

He smirks slightly, turning his light blue eyes away from you.

"You would make a good mother to Athanasia, don't you think so?"

The question made you frown, and stand up from your chair.

"Why do you wish to marry me?" you answer his question with another.

All you could remember from your engagement was that it was one-sided and forced.

Adding to that, Claude had many concubines.

The fact that Claude executed his daughter in the manwha before the reborn, made you hate him more.

Redemption? Yeah, right.

"I think you have enough intelligence to guess." you roll your eyes.

"Sorry to interrupt"

Your eyes grow wide upon hearing the voice of your beloved universe traveler.

"Ryu"

Without thinking, you run up to the man and hug him tightly, laying your head on his chest.

Athanasia follows Ryu into the room with a big smile on her face.

"(Y/n)'s lover has arrived, Papa"

Claude glared at the man, but his gaze softens when he sees his daughter's happy expression.

"You were telling the truth after all" you turn to the emperor with a proud smirk.

"Yes, Ryu has come to help me" the said traveler nods, placing a protective arm around you.

"Indeed, I did"

"Please let them leave in peace" the princess requests bravely.

Claude stays silent for a few moments, before letting out a sigh.

He loves you indeed, but he can't refuse his daughter.

After all, he wanted to marry you just so Athanasia could have a mother figure.

But, now the girl wants you to be happy with another man.

"Alright, you both can leave"

You and Ryu sit with each other, relaxing on your couch with a happy smile on your face.

"So, what happened to Hayate?"

"Boss took care of him, no need to worry now"

You smile, cuddling closer to him.

"Good to know...however, Lucas brought back my memories"

Ryu tenses up slightly, before relaxing upon realizing that you are not even angry.

"My boss was trying to experiment a bit, she had you travel to another universe, then wiped your memory"

When hearing him, you remember something.

"By any chance, is your boss a woman with pink hair"

"Yeah, how did you know?"

A chuckle escapes your lips, finally knowing that the woman from the bus who gave you the object is his boss.

"I met her on the bus"

"Huh, happy endings are the best"

A woman with dyed pink hair exclaims as she looks away from her crystal ball.

Then her gaze turns to Hayate who is tied up in a straitjacket.

"Don't you agree, Hayate?"

A/n: this is the last chapter, thanks for the support.
