Lucas stood by his throne and looked at Sthiel with a shocked face. His eyes were wide. His mouth gaped open. "Is that possible?"


    Sthiel shrugged, "That would make sense. You loved her dearly in your past life." She said with a slight envy in her tone. "Why else some random girl would be close to you so quickly."


    "If you met her, could you confirm her identity?" Lucas tilted his head down and narrowed his eyes as he asked the question. He wasn''t sure if he could believe it. But he couldn''t just dismiss Sthiel''s words.


    Sthiel nodded her head, "Araniel and I would recognize her even if she is reincarnated as a human now."


    "How did that happen?" Lucas leaned forward, hoping desperately that maybe Sthiel couldn''t be right about anything she''d just told him. "How could an angel reincarnate as a human?"


    "The same way you did..." Sthiel smiled weakly and sat on her knees, staring into nothingness before she turned back towards Lucas and said something that shocked Lucas. "But she wasn''t an angel, to begin with."


    "Huh?" Lucas eximed, feeling like something was wrong again. "How could your sister not be an angel?"


    "I-It''splicated." She raised her hand when Lucas opened his mouth to argue. "The three of us were created at the same time; however only me and Araniel were angels. Esmeralda was more... human-like. She was defective."


    "Defective angel?" Lucas'' confusion grew more intense. How can a universe create a defective creature?


    "When she was created, she was instantly reincarnated into a human world." Sthiel''s face was strained by sadness and anger as she spoke. Her eyes began to water, and she looked away from Lucas for a few seconds before looking back at him again. "We didn''t even get a chance to name her."


    "Interesting..." Lucas frowned, still not sure whether to believe this or not.


    "If you didn''t have amnesia, you would know this..." Sthiel took Lucas''s hands while smiling gently. "When you found her human form, you two became really close."


    "Huh?" Lucas eximed in shock. At this point, he wasn''t sure if he even wanted to know what or who he was in his previous life. But his curiositypelled him to ask anyway, "What kind of person was I?"


    "You''ll remember it in time," Sthiel answered with a gentle smile.


    Lucas was silent for a long time before nodding silently. "I see... Alright." He said as a sigh escaped his lips. He looked up at Sthiel and gave her a warm look, "I will need you to recognize her for me."


    "Yes, my king." She smiled happily at that request.


    Lucas nodded, "Thank you very much..." His voice trailed off into nothingness as his eyes drifted back toward the ceiling of the castle. There was a detailed picture of a silver-haired angel with dark mana surrounding his entire body and red eyes all over the background. He was holding a ming ck sword above him.


    "Was that me?" Lucas asked Sthiel, and his heartfelt nostalgia despite hisck of memory on any other subject except for that one image. He tilted his head slightly, curious about the answer.


    "Yes. You were glorious." Sthiel felt a pleasant fluttering sensation in her stomach as she recalled the details of Lucas''s former self. She felt drawn to him, a heat inside her that made her lean in closer, wanting to press her lips against his own. Before she could do that, though, Lucas pushed her back with gentle but firm pressure.<novelnext></novelnext>


    "I am really not interested." Lucas sighed deeply, not wanting to deal with an awkward situation. "At least not yet..." He lowered his head down, taking a deep breath before turning around. "I have to go now... If I stay too long here, I might be tempted again by you."


    "Is that a bad thing?" Sthiel asked. Her brte hair and her clothes started fading away again. It looked like they h disappearedpletely, leaving just her nude form exposed. The angel girl looked away shyly as her cheeks reddened in embarrassment as she bit her lip. She demonstrated her nude body by gesturing her hands slowly through her body. "Don''t you like what you see?"


    "Uh... Well..." Lucas truly enjoyed the view.


    Sthiel''s body was perfect in every way. Her curves were soft, yet her muscles were toned and tight. Her skin is smooth and ivory, with just a hint of pink in her cheeks that seems to be from her bashfulness. Her brown hair cascades down in soft curls, framing her face and delicately brushing against her shoulders. She moves gracefully as she gestures with her hands, showing off the beauty of her body as something for Lucas to admire.


    She put her hands on her hips in a gesture so familiar to Lucas that it hurt his heart. "Come on, sugar," she said. "I know you love it." Her face waspletely red from embarrassment as Lucas''s eyes avoided hers. She swallowed and tried again. "Look at these curves," she said, her voice teasing, her chin thrust out. "These are the parts you like best."


    "Not even the slightest bit of shame?" Lucas startedughing, seeing her red face. His face started to blush as well. However, he continued tough for a while. After he had calmed himself enough to speak, he said, "Sthiel, create a portal for me to Snonds."


    "Tsk." Sthiel clicked her tongue in annoyance as she created a new set of clothes for herself out of thin air, "Read the room, jerk." She gave him a hurt look but turned away and extended her hand to create a portal.


    "Thank you," Lucas eximed, walking towards the portal. But before walking through, he turned back and asked. "Can you watch over me tomorrow? To see whether Sarah is your sister?"


    "I can," Sthiel answered with her eyes twinkling with amusement. "It should be fun to see you in your natural habitat."


    "You speak like I was some exotic animal." Lucas frowned at that remark.


    "You think so?" She smirked yfully, giving him a wink. Then after looking into his eyes for a few seconds, she added quietly, "...I will watch you closely wherever you go. Whenever you go. Especially if you''re in the shower." she muttered quietly and with a slight smirk.


    However, Lucas stared at her with a nk expression as he eximed. "You know I heard that." He blinked and then raised an eyebrow. "Please don''t," he said while entering the portal and returning to Ligtburn. He had no idea why he even bothered saying it, as there was absolutely nothing he could do about it.


    "You''re back, my lord." Alena bowed down to Lucas as soon as he entered Snond''s castle through the portal.


    "W-Wee back, my lord." Jacob also bowed.


    Lucas gave them a curious nce before sighing. "Yes. I''m back." He looked away from her as he walked towards the exit. "I will return either tomorrow or in a couple of days. Araniel or Snthiel will inform you if there is a change in ns."


    "Y-Yes, sir!" Both of them answered, bowing their head in respect.


    "Oh, Jacob." Lucas turned to him suddenly. "Today, Araniel will take you to another realm where you can rest. Of course, you can choose to go home with your mother instead."


    "Y-Yes... Thank you." Jacob stammered as Lucas continued to walk out without waiting for him to respond further. "I am grateful."
