The Author's POV

Chapter 542

This familiar warmth.

'It's real. It's not a dream.'

When Amanda looked into her father's eyes, tears began to trickle down her cheeks.

"It's okay."

Wiping the tear away from her cheek, Edward softly smiled at her.

"It's really me Amanda. I'm back."

"Ah."

Amanda let out a weak sound as she hugged her father even tighter. Trying her best to imprint the warmth inside of her mind.

A while later, Amanda opened her mouth. The frail sound of her voice echoed throughout the room.

"H..how...how are you here?"

How was it possible for her father to have returned from the demon world?

Many had told her that this was an impossible feat. Something that could never be accomplished due to how dangerous the territory was.

Many times she had wanted to go herself, but knowing how weak she was, she could only silently endure the pain and continue training until she became strong enough to go.

Yet...

Feeling her father's warmth, Amanda knew that he was right here with her.

This was not a dream.

Softly staring at Amanda, Edward opened his mouth to answer.

However...

"Ren Dover! Are you an exhibitionist!? Go and put some clothes this instant!"

He was stopped by Samantha's enraged shout.

Turning around, Amanda watched as Ren left the room with a crestfallen look on his face.

"You think I really did this on purpose? Also, it's not like I'm actually naked, people go to the beach all the time, it makes no difference if they see my chest..."

As he left, nearly everyone in the room heard his parting words.

"Heh..."

Edward chuckled slightly at that moment. With a confused look on her face, she turned her head to look at him.

"Do you two know each other?"

Letting go of him, she sat down on the seat next to him.

Glancing in her direction, Edward had a complicated look on his face as he nodded his head.

"...You wanted to know why I was able to get out of the demon world, right?"

"Yes."

Unknowingly, Amanda's heartbeat started racing as she nodded her head.

In her mind, she was already formulating a theory about what had happened.

The words her father said next confirmed her assumptions.

"It's because of him."

"He helped me escape from the demon realm."

'...As expected, it really was him.'

Instead of being surprised, Amanda's face turned complicated.

She had already formed an idea once her father appeared the same time he did, but being overwhelmed with emotions, she didn't think too much about the situation.

However, now that she had calmed down, she was able to understand exactly what had happened.

Lowering her head, Amanda glanced in the direction of where Ren used to stand, letting her face soften a little. The edges of her lips curled ever so slightly.

'You truly are...'
