Chapter 1812: New and Old Memories (Part 2)

"Why did we break up?" She asked.

"For the same reason you broke up with all of your past love interests.

You were scared of falling in love with someone and losing them, like i t happened to your mother." Aerth said.

"Thank you very much." Solus hugged the painting like it was her lost f amily and tears streaked from her eyes.

"l'm sorry for what I did and l 'm even more sorry for what I'm about to ask you. Would you please d raw a new painting for me?"

"Sure thing. Let me guess, you want me to add Lith to the family?"

"No. I want you to add all these people to the family." Solus projected a hologram of the Verhens above her hand.

"It will take a much bigger canvas and a hologram with a higher d e?nition. l can't see the details from something that small."

The Phoenix said.

"There's no need for a hologram. Today is my new birthday and I w ould be honored to have you at my party. This way you can meet t hem and see them in person." Solus said with a dazzling smile that s tirred feelings that had never died.

"Sure. Just tell me where and when." Aerth nodded.

After the matter with the painting and the birthday was resolved, Lith t rusted the Phoenix enough to share with him everything they had d iscovered about the memory crystals.

As Faluel always said, only an idiot never shared. Besides, with the r esources and manpower of Salaark‘s R&D, it was only a matter of t ime before Aerth discovered everything on his ovm.

"Fascinating." Aerth seemed to have two different personalities, going f rom mushy to business in a split second. "l had guessed most of t hese things, but not all of them. At the same time, there are a few t hings you have missed.“

The Tiamat and the Blue Phoenix literally exchanged notes while also d ebating the unique properties of the memory crystals. After a while, t hey were considering the idea of working together to expedite their r espective research.

"Lith Verhen! This is my birthday and you have the gall to waste my t ime working? I've been waiting for over an hour. Any longer and we'll b e late for lunch!" Solus stomped her foot, creating a weak quake.

"We'll discuss this matter some other time, then." Aerth gave her a s mall bow in apology. "l‘ll see you tonight, Solus.“

She rushed out of the cave, falling down on her knees the moment t hey entered the tower. Her angry facade fell apart and Solus started t o cry as she could ?nally vent the pent—up emotions that seeing her f ather's works had stirred.

Seeing her sob and tremble like that while she held the only image she h ad of her father, made Lith feel like a jerk.

"l‘m sorry, Solus. I have no excuse." He lifted her from the ground and m oved her to a couch. "l should have known that being surrounded b y your past like that had to be overwhelming to you."

"Don't worry. I'm ?ne." Yet it was clear that wasn't the case.

Lith sat beside her. remaining quiet until she calmed down.

"Is there anything l can do to make it up for you?"

"lt's not your fault, idiot.“ She blew her nose with a handkerchief. "The g allery didn't affect me much at ?rst, but while you worried about y our work, leaving me alone, I started to look at the paintings.
