Yuriel once again let out a sigh. It took him a long time before he remember everything. Well, he cannot do anything about it. That was a part of his deal with the magic spirit before. He is just happy that Penelope is now doing well in this third life.
She is no longer the frail lady that he met in the first timeline. Penelope is now a lady known by everyone because of her beauty and grace. Penelope is also surrounded by beautiful and great things that she deserves in the first place. And Yuriel plans to continue protecting her until the very end.
"Little cat, just tell me if you have more questions—Oof!"
All of a sudden, Penelope hugs Yuriel and buries her face on his shoulder. She is crying. Yuriel is quick to put a hand on her back and pats it. Before he can say some comforting words, Penelope speaks.
"Thank you. Thank you, Yuriel."
"...For what?"
