The Strongest Characters In The World Are Obsessed With Me

Chapter 24

Everyone seemed to have felt the awkward
atmosphere, so they left their seats.

Halfway through the end, they personally apologized to Dalia. All of them were the unlucky ladies and children who did not say a word about Adrisha.

Dalia accepted the apology and promised to visit their mansion next time. Only then, a warm atmosphere was created.

Although there was some mishap, the tea party ended satisfactorily.

Dalia returned to the garden and sat down again.

She’s still upset.

At that time, someone quietly hugged Dalia from behind. It was Adrisha.

She thought that Adrisha had already gone, but she seemed to have been waiting for the tea party to end.

She whispered softly.

“Thank you.”

Dalia’s heart warmed up.

Nobody said anything anymore, but that was enough.

She’s pretty sure that both of them feel the same.

Adrisha came out of the front door of the Pesteros mansion.

For some reason, she felt like she was going to cry. Standing there, calming her mind, she began to walk again.

‘I’m glad to have Miss Dalia here.’

Adrisha has been trying.

She has been trying for her whole life. To be a good person.

When she was raised as an assassin under Verix in her hometown, she rebelled with all her might, and after the Emperor rescued her, she decided to do anything for him. (*t/n: previously I used Berix, but then I feel like Verix sounds better)

But even then and now, Verix was still alive and well, and the children in her hometown were eventually scattered.

The noble children that she met at the ball despised her.

She could not bear to say that to her former master nor to the Emperor. That’s why she understands the meaning of the gazes that were directed towards her.

This pain was something that Adrisha had to endure alone.

But Dalia was different.

She was more dignified than anyone else ever since they first met, and for the first time in her life, someone had told her that she is a “good person.”

Dalia likes her without any strings attached, everything was alright with her. And she even gets mad in her stead in front of everyone else.

‘So I have to protect her.’

It was also what the Emperor wanted.

The day after the tea party is the day that she needed to give him the regular report.

Adrisha headed to the Imperial Palace in the carriage that was waiting not far from her mansion.

Last time in the carriage, the Emperor told her about Dalia’s ability.

“The soul of a transcendent can’t return once it’s broken.”

“I know.”

“But Miss Dalia can do that. Probably the only one that was capable of that in this Empire no, in this world.”

The condition is that it needs to be through physical contact. And Dalia’s affinity for the contact target also influences her ability.

If you kidnap her and try to force her, it will be useless.
