milkteq's manga / #revenge(63)

Before time skip: So ML tries to make up for his past actions when he lost his memories even though he doesn't know why he behaved so horribly with Lilly (his friend told him that after he returned from the Everett's, he honestly looked like a man who just fell in love). I liked how Lilly couldn't forgive him and how uncomfortable she was with his kindness, because it was so realistic. - Then Theo's memories came back and he went back to being a jerk, but this time she properly told him off everytime he was rude. His friend (and his diary) told him how he was like before when he lost those memories, and he wondered if Lilly took advantage of it (I would murder this guy, i swear). - But then he slowly starts to realise that Lilly isn't the kind of person he thought she was, and we find out that the misunderstanding occurred because of his aunt who forged Lilly and Owen's letter exchange (predictably, Lilly blew up on his face- why couldn't he have just confronted her? Why couldn't he have just listened to her just once when she tried to tell him about her situation so many times?) Anyways, i don't remember if this happened before Lilly ran away or after, but she was kidnapped by a woman who is delusional and thinks she has a right to the dukedom and beside Theo (who was also manipulating Theo's aunt, fanning her hatred for Lilly) and thrown into an abyss from where no one has ever come back (it's a sort of portal to hell). - There she makes a contract with Somnia, spirit of dreams, and escapes, found by Theo and brought back. - Theo tries to atone by giving his vitality to Lilly (she took some drugs for her insomnia, and as its side effects she is slowly dying, not to mention is most probably infertile too). - Lilly rejects him though, and she is clear with him that she would only stay with him till they take their revenge and she has completely destroyed the Everetts, and she wants divorce if he truly wants her to be happy now. - They manage to kill Owen (who had already killed the previous duke, his father, by posioning him), and the younger brother gave his memories and life to Lilly so she could extend her life (she still didn't forgive him). - During their fight with Owen, Theo takes a fatal blow meant for Lilly and dies (his heart stopped) and Lilly realizes that she still loves him. She used a bracelet that Theo gave her earlier to revive him. - This was a bit cute tbh, when while recuperating he kept taking advantage of his injuries to keep Lilly close to him, which Lilly noticed but didn't comment on. Anyways, Lilly got a title of Viscount and an estate by the crown prince (now Emperor, having killed his father who has already become a lost case) for her contribution to the battle, and at the grave site of Theo's family, Lilly tells him that she still loves him, but the wounds he gave her won't disappear easily. - She tells him she can't forgive him even now, and being with him is still too painful. She tells him to wait for her wounds to heal if he really loves her, and though he cries and begs, he ultimately promises to wait for her heart to come back to him even if that takes his whole life. - Then there is a 5 years time skip where Lilly is now living as a viscount, loved by her servants and people (and Charlotte is with her every step of the way, of course), and her health has improved a lot. After time skip + Ending Lilly finds the lucky coin that the memory loss Theo showed her, the one that belonged to his older brother, Camille. That night in her dream ahe met Camille, but it seems that she met his younger, past self who is very much real. She decides to return the coin back to Theo next time they meet. - 2 days later, she sees Theo at the banquet, but he looks too depressed, and sick. She couldn't give it back to him since she kept getting interrupted. - There is a huge rift in her area, and it appears to be very serious. Theo and his knights arrive as reinforcement. Both of them defeat the high level monsters and closed the rift together but Theo is hurt again (even Lilly thinks this guy hurts his head too often, there has to be something wrong with it by now). - lilly brings him back to her estate to take care of him. Few days later they have a feast like dinner together where they finally talk, and i mean TALK talk. They share how they have been living past 5 years and Lilly promises to write to him from now on. In on of the letters she told him that the peridot necklace he gave her years ago is still with her, and once she is ready to accept his palce back in her life she will send it to him. - There is an elder in her region with whom Lily grew pretry close to. At her deathbed, the lady tells her how everyone dies, and she wishes that lilly won't be left with regrets when her time comes. At her funeral, the woman's son tells Lilly how his mother always felt that Lilly looked lonely despite being surrounded by so many people. That night, lilly sent the necklace back. 2 hours later Theo came to her (his poor horse). - She tells him how she still feels the same for him, that the only thing that changed in all these years is just time. She tells him there's a place beside her that nothing else is able to fill. She might be lonely now, but that doesn't mean that she is unhappy. She is confident that she can continue to live like this her whole life, because her loneliness doesn't really pricks her. But she also knows that if the place beside her is taken, she could become happier. She asks Theo to propose to her again, properly this time, so they both know that this time they both really want to be together, that their marriage is their own decision. Theo, obviously, cried. He proposes to her and promises to make her happier than she could hope to be. - Lilly tells Theo that she won't shift back to the duchy because she adores the viscounty. Her estate is where she truly felt happy and comfortable, so they agreed to visit each other whenever they want to meet - Theo comes everyday lol. He got a magic portal installed making it easier for the two to reach each other. - They get married, and they have a daughter, Lumie/Rumi, who shares a resmeblance with Lilly, with only an eye color matching Theo's (she has heterochromia - one eye is bright pink like Lilly's if I remember right, and the other eye is a darker blue shade, like Theo's).
