Livia looked at herself. She said, "I need to go to your world now. Because my zu is disappearing."
Juli looked at her and she wanted to say something. But before she could say something. Her lips didn't move, and Livia disappeared.
Juli was sitting on the ground in that weird position again behind the bushes. This time she wasn't uninterested like the last two times. This time she looked at that couple carefully and observed them for a long time. She couldn't bring herself to hate both. She saw them and thought these kids were not bad. This time instead of running away. She waited for Domitia to leave the hallway first. When Domita left the hallway. She stood up and said, "Cough" while clearing her throat.
Lucius abruptly looked at her and his face got pale for a few seconds. But he started to take steps toward Juli with an awkward smile. Juli was cleaning her clothes because she was covered in the leaves. Lucius removed a leaf from her head and looked at her.
He was smiling. Juli was shocked. She thought, "How someone could be this shameless?" But then again, she thought that maybe that was his scheme from the start. She started to join the random dots. Suddenly her mind got bombarded with the memories of Livia. Maybe it was happening because she had accepted her body.
Juli's breathing became abnormal. Lucius held her arm to stop her from collapsing. He asked, "Are you alright?" with concern on his face. Juli closely looked at his face. He had a handsome face. He had a strong grip too. But he was a kid in her eyes. She said, "You meet her in this open space to get caught." Juli freed her arm from his grip.
She was amazed by this body strength. Lucius's expressions were like a kid who got caught while sneaking into the kitchen to steal chocolates. She patted his head out of her old stupid habit. He looked surprised. Juli hid her hand away and asked, "Uhmmm… Why are you doing this?"
While they were having this conversation. They heard footsteps. Someone was coming in their direction. Juli saw a shadow. There was a man with white hair and wearing the same dress as Lucius. Juli thought maybe it was a dress code for work.
While going through Livia's memories she immediately recognized that strange man. "Quintus?", Juli recalled an unfamiliar name. "Maybe he was Flavia's elder brother.", she thought while recalling Livia's memories.
"Here, you are.", He took Juli's arm and said, "I was waiting for you. But why are you so late?"
He was glaring at Lucius as he drew Juli closer to him. "Oh, looks like you're busy with someone else," Quintus spoke.
"We were just having a random discussion.", Lucius said.
"What type of random discussion were you having that it took her a lot of time to forget about our prior engagement.", Quintus asked suspiciously.
