Chapter 566: Can You Still Accept Me Despite Everything

’No wonder he warned that he would ask a presumptuous question,’ Arabella maintained her silence as the three conversed so they could speak freely.

"Eh?! Who I choose?" Evania blinked repeatedly and glanced at Arabella again.

Arabella simply smiled and did not say a word again since that was for Evania to decide.

[Me choose between these two outstanding beauties?! How can I ever do that?!]

"Ah, please do not feel pressured at all. Please treat it like a trivial question like you are choosing between two dresses," Orpheus added.

[I just want to know if despite not having any memories of us both, would she still choose Darcus. Darcus always had an advantage over me when it came to her feelings since he had been staying by her side for years. She already had feelings for him when I was introduced to her.]

’I see. Evania grew feelings with her personal guard while growing up. So, when her arranged fiancé was introduced, she could not accept him because her heart was already with Darcus,’ Arabella felt bad for Orpheus.

But Orpheus also had an advantage. No matter the feelings of Evania and Darcus, Orpheus was the official fiancé approved by Evania’s family.

"I, I’m the one who’s worried you might not accept me anymore after everything I went through here," Evania voiced her concern.

"I accept you with all my heart and soul regardless of everything, milady. I had been searching and waiting for you all these years," Darcus responded instantly.

"I as well. I accept you no matter what, Princess. Simply knowing that you are alive here filled me with hope and joy, so I am here. Nothing will change my feelings," Orpheus gazed at Evania with longing. He already knew he might be the one who gets rejected but was still trying.

’We shouldn’t be here,’ Arabella glanced at Alwin. But they must witness how Darcus and Orpheus help Evania recover her memories.

[Oh my god! They really accepted me as Her Majesty said. What should I do? Or could it be, that it was simply because they do not know what happened to me here?]

"I, I was already married once. I slept with him for years. I almost had children with him."

Evania tried enlightening the two for them to understand why she was asking them if they could still accept her. But no matter what she said, Darcus and Orpheus did not change their minds.

"That doesn’t change my love for you, milady."

"My feelings will not change because of those, Princess."

[Heavens! They are so devoted and kind. Why didn’t I marry at least one of them? Why did I have to run away and experience hell here?!]

Evania wondered what she was thinking to have abandoned these two dedicated men and run away on her own.

[If I was to run away; I should have eloped with one of them. Or the both of them.]

’Huh, I don’t think that’s quite right,’ Arabella still kept getting surprised with Evania’s way of thinking.

"I, I see. Thank you very much. I am overwhelmed that there are people who cherish me this much."

Evania was emotional as she recalled how Chester treated her like garbage while these two were earnestly searching for her and still loved her despite the years they were not even sure if she was alive.

"I am grateful for your feelings truly. But I, I cannot choose between you two."

"Eh?! Both of us are rejected?!" Darcus and Orpheus were petrified.

"Does none of us suit your current taste, Princess?" Orpheus recalled Alwin who was the complete opposite of their looks.

"Eh? No, that’s not what I meant. You two are both so outstanding. It’s so hard to choose. I would feel bad choosing one from the other, and honestly, I like you both equally," Evania said and the two blushed.

But they both came to a realization.

[Wait, she likes us both?!]

Darcus was alarmed since it meant he could not be confident that Evania, with her memories, would still choose him just because they were lovers in the past. Eons had already gone by and her feelings could have changed.

[Does this mean I still have hope?!!]

Orpheus, meanwhile, was delighted by this development since it meant there was a chance Evania might change her mind and choose him this time, not Darcus.

Arabella and Alwin silently glanced at each other, puzzled and surprised by this. But whoever Evania chooses would no longer be their business.

What was important was these two men were devoted to Evania and she would return home with them to Umbra.

"I see. Thank you for your answer, Princess," Orpheus’ eyes were bright with hope.

{Tricky bastard.} Darcus dissed him, fearing the future.

{Same to you. If Princess had met me at the same time as you, she could have chosen me.} Orpheus had more confidence after Evania’s reply.

{Don’t be so full of yourself.} Darcus glared. But he knew that if it had been a fair fight, they would both equally have the chance to get Evania’s love.

"Alright, since Evania said she cannot choose between you two, why don’t you ask her again once her memories are back," Arabella suggested so they could proceed.

When the three agreed, they then proceeded to help Evania recover her memories.

Darcus and Orpheus held each of Evania’s hands and chanted something in the ancient language. The three closed their eyes and something black flowed from the two gentlemen to Evania.

Arabella and Alwin closely observed to make sure nothing went wrong.

{Her mana and Shadow Energy keeps rising, stay away from there.}

Alwin went to Arabella and teleported her to the far corner of the room. He made her stay inside a barrier so the mana and Shadow Energy of the three would not affect her.

After several minutes, Darcus and Orpheus stopped.

When Evania opened her eyes, the expression in them was so different from how Renee’s eyes were.

"Darcus, Orpheus, where are -" Evania lost consciousness before she could continue her question.

"Bring her to her new room," Arabella instructed and Alwin nodded. He teleported them to the guest room they had prepared as Evania’s room. They figured this could happen since it was several thousand years’ worth of memories.

A new room was prepared for Evania in the Magic Tower since she could no longer stay in her room in the palace with her mana and Shadow energy rising every single day.

Likewise, since she knew her identity as Evania now, she would be treated as a Princess going forward.
