Under the Veil I Rule (Amara) novel Chapter 770

"What?"

The news was so abrupt that Amara was momentarily at a loss.

Elysia continued, “I’m going to have the procedure first. Afterwards, I might end up with Lucian.”

“…”

There was so much packed into that statement, it took Amara several seconds to fully process.

She muttered, “Why so sudden? Weren’t you out to dinner with Lucian last night? Did something happen between you two?”

Elysia rested her chin on her hand, eyes narrowed in contentment. “Honestly, nothing much happened at first. We just had dinner and talked for a while. Then, he told me again how he feels about me…”

“But that’s not really the point. The point is, I was just so happy in that moment. So, so happy. I felt like I’d returned to who I was before I met Dorian.”

“Even though I had a lot of happy moments after meeting Dorian, all these years of going back and forth with him have worn me out. I know I haven’t been as happy as I used to be, but yesterday, for the first time in ages, I really felt like my old self again.”

“When I’m with Lucian, I just feel happy and at ease. I’m not even sure if I actually love him—maybe a little—but the most important thing is how happy I am when we’re together. I realized he can bring me happiness, so I want to be with him.”

The seriousness in Elysia’s tone was unmistakable. As Amara listened, her initial shock gradually gave way to understanding, and she genuinely felt happy for her friend.

“As long as you’re happy, that’s what matters,” she said softly.

“The ultimate purpose of being in a relationship or getting married is to find happiness. If a relationship makes you feel relaxed and content, you should keep it. If it just leaves you feeling exhausted, you should let it go.”

Not too long ago, Elysia had been in a terrible place. The woman who was once so vibrant and strong-willed had become listless and pale; everyone who knew her had been shocked, and seeing her like that had made Amara ache for her.
