Lord of the Truth

"Here I sat~ now, what is that long *talk* Your Excellency wants to start with this stupid little girl?" Mila sat right in front of Robin with a big alluring smile on her face

Robin couldn't hold back his laughter after hearing *Your Excellency* again and again from her, so he gave a low chuckle and then said, "Before anything... why is your father still calling me *my son-in-law*? and that receptions outside the city... I was afraid to announce my coming so that he wouldn't close the gates! You didn't tell him we broke up?"

Mila smiled, "A decision like this would surely have caused a stir in the relations of the two families, and my father might get angry and consider it an insult to me and to the Bradleys, who knows, he might have completely severed the relations between the two families…"

"Oh..? Do you want to keep your family's good relationship with me so bad? Why did you leave then?" Robin was puzzled, something like that can't be hidden too long anyway

"I don't care, you idiot! ...I wanted to see if you'd come to see me if everything remained the same, an apology wouldn't have made me feel any better if you had come because of problems between the two families, hmph!

I told them at first that I had come to help them establish the family in the new lands, and then said that you were too busy and that I would spend a few months here until you were done with your seclusions, I was making all kinds of excuses so that no one would think we broke up, just for today... Well... You came on your own and without pressure, whatever you want from me now will be your real decision.. so.. what do you want to say?"

Robin was shocked by the response and smiled spontaneously afterward... The topic he came for hadn't been opened yet, yet he smiled happily today already more than in the past 9 months combined

Although in theory he no longer needs the Bradley family for anything, it is a huge ancient family, who has an extremely long border with him, and has the ways of making Fire Explosion Talismans and Darkness Talismans...

Under no circumstances would Robin turn the situation with them into hostility unless there is absolutely no other way out.

If Galan became angry about the breakup of the engagement, Robin would have tried to make up for it out of guilt because he was on the wrong side...

Mila apparently expected this and did not want to see this version of Robin...

"Mila…." Robin leaned his back forward and spoke but quickly fell into silence, before trying again, "I will… after 2 months I will have to… Sigh~"

Mila turned back to look at him, "What's wrong with you stammer? Are an apology and a little promise that hard?"

"...If only it were that simple…." Robin leaned back to rest his head on the chair and started rubbing his forehead.

"...you are starting to worry me, Robin..why are you here today? Speak, even if we're not together anymore, even without the oath I took... I would never reveal your secrets." Mila furrowed her eyebrows and asked seriously

"The point is, the All-seeing God said… No, you wouldn't know who that is… two weeks ago I was… that wouldn't work either…." Robin tried to start the conversation more than once, but he stopped each time, after a few minutes he resolved and looked at Mila directly, " Any single part of what I want to say to you will not be understandable on its own, for you to understand what I will ask of you later you must know all about my journey from the very beginning until I came to this seat, listen carefully...

When I was 14 I got tired of everything about my life as the *family genius and hope* and wanted to cripple myself, but I was afraid that my and my mother's lives would have only gone worse, So I left the Burton family and went to that cave where we met with an impossible goal in my mind, to discover my own Minor Law! and then I started-----,

but my loneliness drove me even crazier and my dreams developed as I finally was determined to discover a whole path of my own, the path of Truth, and then----"

Robin went on, trying to remember every little detail and put them in the right sequence for her... Sometimes she put her hand on her lips in panic, and sometimes on her chest in relief

she smiled sweetly when the day of their fated meeting was mentioned, and her chest narrowed when he explained to her his experience in the cave

when the story reached the moment of his death A few tears fell from her eyes, but soon Her eyes and mouth opened wide when he mentioned the appearance of the Humanoid light and the time stopping act

It's been over two hours since Robin started telling his story, but Mila felt like a moment has passed... and it was one of the most beautiful moments of her life.

The person she loved finally opened his heart to her.

"….. Well, That is it... that's everything that has happened to me during the nearly 170 years I have lived on this planet." Robin finished and reached out his hand and grabbed a glass of water in front of him and drank it in one go, it was a long talk, longer than he thought it would be...

"Planet... Nihari..." Mila muttered furrowed eyebrows, she let him speak without interruption so as not to lose his train of thought, but she certainly remembered the most important point in her head.

Robin smiled, "Smart.. you must be aware of the dangers of this journey, it's a death sentence. Even if a miracle happens and I somehow managed to do it with keeping my head intact, I won't be back for decades."

"...." Mila remained silent for a while, she had already realized all this since he explained his plan, but her heart sank when she heard him talk about the possibilities himself, but she got on her nerves and asked, "And..? Why are you telling me all this now?"

"... Mila, I didn't prevent you from leaving me because I knew my future path, a path in which you do not exist, there is no Caesar or the rest of my adopted kids either, it is only me in another world struggling against fate...

previously I thought It was better to let you go and have you hate me than tell you my fate, but I changed my mind, I didn't want you to think that you were less of a woman than anyone else, or that you were not loved, No... I want you by my side, but fate does not agree... that it.

After I leave today I want you to announce that you broke off the engagement because I am a weird person, and  I'll confirm your words so that you preserve your reputation and prestige... The other option is we go and get married for a month or two and then I leave you to live as a widow for the rest of your life... Haha.. hah.."

Robin spoke slowly, feeling suffocated by every word.. the last sentence sounded like sarcasm, but it was Robin's biggest hope, the reason he's here.

Everything was put on the table now, all that was left was Mila's reply... He closed his eyes and silently waited for the answer.

After about two minutes, Mila's voice was finally heard, "You bastard... you selfish bastard..!!"

"..Hah?!" Robin opened his eyes in surprise

"You think you and that fate of yours can treat me like I'm a side character? I'm the one who should have made these decisions from the start! I'm the one who should you say if I want to continue with you or not!!" Mila stood up and kicked Robin in the foot

"Ouch.!!" Robin raised his foot on the bench and began rubbing the spot where he had been kicked, "Why did you hit me?! Damn woman, you broke this beautiful moment of romance and sacrifice!!"

"Dammit, we lost about 9 months because of this nonsense, I could have carried your baby during that time!" Mila again approached Robin and weakly punched his shoulder

" Hi..!!" Robin patted his shoulder, furrowing his eyebrows, but astonishment suddenly appeared on his face, "You... what did you just say?"
