Chapter 814: Teasing Ninth Dream
"Even if you can't, you must. It's pointless worrying over things you can't control; the change you desire will only come from focusing better on what you can control," Vaan stated.
Dahlia gave a forlorn smile.
Without explaining anything, Vaan already knew what she was thinking and feeling. She was like an open book for him to read. He had always been amazing like that since she met him. However, the gap between them continued to grow since then as well.
With such a significant difference in status and power between them compared to when they first met, it was normal for her to start feeling afraid of being abandoned and left behind. Because of this fear, she would naturally compare herself with the other women around Vaan. After all, she believed that as long as she wasn't the worst person in the harem, she wouldn't be the first to be abandoned. She didn't need to be the best; being somewhere in the middle was sufficient to put her mind at ease.
"I know what you are thinking, but this kind of mindset is wrong, Dahlia. I am not someone who abandons my women over a deplorable reason like being useless. So, your fear is unfounded," Vaan coolly stated.
Given his knowledge and countless opportunities hidden in the world around him, even if his women were all untalented, he could still find a way to turn them into talented geniuses.
As such, as long as his women had the heart to toil hardship and grow, they would never be mediocre with him around.
"As long as you don't betray me or purposely harm your sisters, you will always have a place at my side. Talent can be changed, but trust can't be regained once broken," Vaan added.
"Even if the gap between us continues to grow?" Dahlia asked unconfidently.
"That's right," Vaan nodded before mentioning with a calm smile, "After all, you'll still be chasing to catch up no matter what, no?"
"Mm," Dahlia quietly nodded.
Although she had strong feelings for Vaan, she also knew their relationship wasn't one of love but trust and commitment. As such, once that trust was broken, there was no chance of mending it.
Such a relationship wasn't fair for her, but it was one she was willing to bear.
After all, her love wasn't completely selfless. She also had a selfish reason for sticking to Vaan. Without him, her whole life would have most likely been limited to Redpine City.
