Chapter 504 - Unable To Decide
This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml
After learning about the things that happened in this world Valdel could not decide what was the right thing to do. He had come into this world expecting to come and go as quickly as possible. He was expecting an entirely different scenario to transpire, he wasn't expecting that his resolve would break so easily.
In the end, Valdel decided to stay in this world for a few more days. Seeing as Silika did say a second in the world is a day in this world, so Valdel had a lot of time to think. He wanted to see what kind of world Lisa was living in.
...
It has been a few days since Valdel arrived in this dream world. During this time he couldn't find the right timing to have another conversation with Lisa about this being a fake world. There was also the problem that for every day that passes in this world, bits of his memories about the real world were starting to fade. There were still there but they were becoming slightly blurry.
Yet despite what was happening to him, Valdel continued to hesitate. In fact, the longer he stayed here, the more he saw, the harder it was to make a decision. He didn't know what to do, he didn't know what was the right thing to do.
...
He also found this world to be truly perfect, in this world there was no one to save. There was no need for a hero. This was the ideal world he wanted to see after saving those he wanted to save. A world were even as a king he had too much time. He could idle around and lay on the grass watching the clouds pass by.
It was also nice to hear about the adventures he and his friends had in this world. Their stories had inspired a lot of children into wanting to explore the great unknown. Their adventures had created a huge boom of people wanting to join the adventurers guild.
Also even in this world, Ren was still considered the most famous among the four of them. Ren was the first king to have united all the kingdoms and races. Not only was he known as a king, but he was also known as the most powerful warrior to have walked the land. The only one who could match him in battle was the current King Valdel.
Valdel had watched numerous plays of how he and Ren had fought side by side as they charged into the dragons nest. As they braved the front lines of the war against all kingdoms. As they traveled the very depths of ancient dungeons. Seeing all that he and his friends have accomplished in this world was amazing.
It was so different from the real world. In the real world, Ren was still the strongest, but Valdel was nowhere near his level. In this world, Valdel was able to save everyone that was important to him, but in the real world, there were times he could not save those that were close to him. The Valdel in this world had not known the feeling of loss. He was the perfect hero Valdel aspired to be.
This world was indeed Valdel's ideal, but it was a rather boring world. Except for the times Valdel teaches his son on how to use a sword, Valdel need not hold a weapon. There was nothing in this world that could threaten him, there was nothing in this world that he needed to do.
...
A few months have passed since Valdel arrived in this dream world. One day during a time when Valdel was out watching the clouds, Lisa came and accompanied him.
"Valdel, you have been acting weird for a few days now. You know that you can tell me anything, no matter what it is I'm always willing to listen."
Valdel did not speak for a few seconds as he continued to watch the clouds pass by. Now that he has stayed in this world for more than a month, his memories of the real world were becoming a bit messy. At some point, he even thought that staying here would be better, but today he remembered why he initially came here to do.
"... Lisa... What if I tell you that this whole world is nothing more than a dream. What will you do then?" When Lisa heard Valdel's question she lay down beside him and answered.
"Even if this world is nothing more than a dream, I will continue living the same way as I did before."
"You're still willing to continue to live in a facade, despite knowing the truth?"
"What is true, what is false? Right now, I'm living, I feel the warmth of my husband and son, I see the beauty of the kingdom I and my friends created. I hear the joyous laughter of the people. I can taste the sweetness of the fruits. To me right now, this is real, this is my truth."
When Valdel heard Lisa's answer he felt a pang in his heart. What she said made sense, and taking her away from this world felt wrong. Still, Valdel wanted to tell Lisa more, just to make sure this is what she truly wishes.
"What if I told you that the nightmares you use to have were events that truly happened?"
Lisa became quiet for a while. After a moment of silence, she sighed.
"I see, so that's what it was. You are not my Valdel, but a different one, aren't you?" When Valdel heard Lisa's response he stood up and looked at her. The eyes that were looking at him, weren't the same eyes of the girl he had left behind in that village, these were the wizened eyes of one who has experienced a lot.
"Yeah, I'm the Valdel that came from those nightmares... No, to be more precise I'm the Valdel from the real world."
"Can you please tell me more." Valdel finally felt that it was alright to tell Lisa about everything so he started explaining about her death and that this world was a dream before her reincarnation.
