Goodbye Saintess (by Edelweiss W.S.) novel Chapter 154

**The Unseen Kingdom That Followed Me Into Every Dream by Alyndra Meron Valeen**

The pendant nestled against my chest began to radiate warmth, a familiar sensation that transported me back to a moment five years prior.

This was it—my confirmation.

“Oh, Sebastian…” I breathed, the name slipping from my lips like a secret.

“Er, what are you mumbling about?” I heard him ask, his voice breaking through the haze of my thoughts.

In that instant, Metis’ expression morphed, shifting like a kaleidoscope of emotions. A flicker of concern danced across her features, and I realized that my lighthearted joke had struck a chord deeper than I had anticipated. I had merely been teasing, but now I wondered if there was more to her reaction than I initially thought.

Could she possibly be taking me seriously? Yet, she embodied the grace and detachment of an elven princess, one who could effortlessly command even the most formidable elder to step aside. It seemed unfathomable that someone with her regal demeanor would entertain a jest meant to lighten the mood.

Suddenly, she seemed to snap back to reality, her gaze darting away from mine. “Oh, it’s nothing. I’m fine. I was just thinking… After you’re divorced, can you promise me one thing?”

I raised an eyebrow, curiosity piqued. “Yes? You’re not actually considering marrying me, are you?” I asked, half-joking, half-wondering what would happen if she truly meant it.

Her reaction was immediate—she blushed fiercely, her cheeks blooming like petals in spring. “Excuse you! Dream on! It’s not like I want to marry you or anything! I just want to give you the address to my practice. You’re welcome to visit—for medical check-ups, of course!”

The way she stumbled over her words made my heart race. If she were to suggest marriage, I could hardly see a reason to decline. After all, Hera was a thing of the past now. But then there was Rhea to consider, and I felt a twinge of uncertainty.

“I’ll do it for free, okay? We’ve met again after five years, and that makes us friends, right?” she continued, her eyes shimmering with a mixture of hope and mischief.
