Strongest Necromancer Of Heaven's Gate-Novel

Chapter 1048 In Pursuit Of Happiness

Five days had passed since Princess Anastasia and Nevreal had visited the Guild Headquarters of Heaven's Gate.

Since then, the Dwarf Princess would often use the Guild Chat function to chat with Lux whenever she was free.

For her, this was the perfect opportunity to get closer to Lux, and talk to him anytime. 

Since the Half-Elf couldn't always visit the Kingdom of Gweliven to see her, she decided to take the initiative to strengthen their bonds, and get to know him better. 

Their talks would last a few minutes at most, but these few minutes were very precious to the Dwarf Princess. Follow current s on novelenglish.net . ꜰirᴇ - ɴovᴇlbin

Simply hearing the Half-Elf's voice and talking to him about trivial things, like what he had eaten, what he was doing, and the weather, was enough to make her happy.

Lux also enjoyed these short conversations with Princess Anastasia and would ask her a few questions in return.

Of course, the other ladies heard about this, so they also started to use the Guild Chat function to its fullest. 

Valerie, Aurelia, Ali, Ari, and Aurora, would often talk to Lux in private. Sometimes, the Half-Elf would even talk to multiple girls at once. 

In fact, they had even created their own chat rooms for this very purpose.

Valerie, Aurelia, Aurora, Ali, and Ari, would often talk to Lux in the chatroom that they named, Lux's Favorite Harem Members, which almost made him choke when he was invited to join it.

Of course, the one who came up with this idea was the mischievous handmaiden, Ari.

All of them wanted to know more about him, and he also wanted to know more about them as well.

In the past five days, Lux discovered many things about his lovers that made him fall in love with them all over again.

He especially loved Ari's stories about Valerie and Ali, which made the two girls team up against the mischievous handmaiden, preventing her from telling Lux about their most embarrassing moments.

Aurelia was also very happy to know more about her Dragon Sisters and Aurora, who loved the same man that she chose as her significant other. 

The more he talked to his lovers, the closer he became to them.

Even Aurora, who didn't have any good memories while she was imprisoned in the Inner Sanctum, gradually opened up and shared her memories of her sister and her mother.

Lux still hadn't told Aurora that Queen Bianca was now inside Blackfire, under recovery. 

Her soul was getting stronger with each passing day thanks to the core of the Crystal Dragon that Blackfire was using to nourish her soul.

Once her soul fully recovered, Lux planned to look for the perfect vessel that could be used to help his mother-in-law reform her body.

Lux knew that he only had a slim chance of finding a Fallen Seraphim or any other higher existences that could potentially be used to revive Queen, but Lux wasn't giving up hope.

He wanted Aurora's mother to have a strong body that would allow her to return to the world of the living and hold her beloved daughters once again. 

For now, he planned to keep it a secret and give the pink-haired beauty the best gift that he could give her in this lifetime.

As his lovers continued their talks with him, they finally broached the subject about his family.

Of course, he mentioned that he was adopted by his grandmother, Vera, and became Iris' stepbrother after he was registered as Alexander's son.

Valerie innocently asked Lux about his mother, purely wanting to know what she was like.

The Dragon Princess really loved her mother and would often confide in her the things that she could never tell her father.

Of course, Valerie had withheld the information about Lux becoming her lover because Ali and Ari cautioned her that this wasn't the right time to reveal this information to her parents.

Lux, who was asked this question, pondered for a bit.

His mother from his past life often called him a "mistake" and someone that "shouldn't have been born".

Of course, the Half-Elf couldn't possibly share this with his innocent lover, who might feel sad after knowing the truth.

Then, Lux remembered about the mother of the body that he had possessed when he arrived in the world of Solais.

He remembered how the young Elf cried as she lovingly held the basket containing her dead baby.

She even gave him a name, even though he was already dead.

Lux.

The name meant Light.

Perhaps, the Elf wanted her son to become the light of her life, so she gave him this name.

"My mother and I… were separated at birth," Lux answered Valerie's question. "Due to circumstances, she was forced to part with me. However, I am certain that she loves me very much."

"Oh, no, Valerie is crying," Ari stated. "It seems that she feels sad that you were separated from your mother."

"Lux, I hope that you reunite with your mother," Valerie said after she regained her composure. "I'm sure that she always thinks of you."

"… Un," Lux replied. "I hope for that as well."

The Half-Elf sighed in his heart as he remembered that scene that happened eighteen years ago.

Truth be told, the day he turned eighteen was in the midst of his chain conquest of the territories that had allied themselves with the Divine Army of Light.

He had completely forgotten about it back then, and if not for Iris' urging that they celebrate it even though it was late, Lux might have simply ignored it completely.

Yes. 

Lux was now eighteen years old and had already surpassed the Ranks of his peers who had started earlier than him in going to the world of Elysium.

In the span of two years, Lux had experienced many things in the world of Elysium.

He had met many important people who taught him many valuable lessons in life.

He also met his lovers, who made him feel like the happiest and luckiest man in the world.

He had met his Master, Gaap, who had become one of his role models in life.

He laughed.

He cried.

He felt anger.

He felt despair.

But, more than anything, he felt loved.

Loved by his lovers, family, friends, and acquaintances, who had become part of his life.

After his talk with his lovers ended, Lux visited his Master's grave and talked to him about the things that he had experienced since he had last visited him.

Although he knew that his Master's soul had already ceased to exist, he still felt like sharing his experience with one of the people who had treated him like family, was something that he needed to do.

By doing this, he was also able to release the pent-up emotion in his heart as he confided his feelings to his Master, who would usually listen to his woes with a knowing smile on his face.

Although his Master wouldn't bat an eye at performing a one-sided genocide, he was actually very warm to the people he cared about.

"The best and most beautiful things in this world cannot be seen or even be heard but must be felt with the heart. 

"To give life a meaning, one must have a purpose larger than self. I think that is what everyone should strive for in life, pursuing happiness even though it is fleeting like the clouds in the sky."

Lux felt teary-eyed as he looked at his Master's tomb. 

He dearly missed his Master, and one of the greatest regrets in his life was to not see the Halfling hold his children after they were born.

Gaap might have tried to hide it, but he actually loved the idea of being part of a family.

He had lost everything when he was still young, and if not for Hereswith, he might have died alongside his family.

"I'll see you again soon, Master," Lux said as he lightly patted the gravestone. "There is someone I want to meet right now."

After saying those words, Lux transformed into particles of light and returned to Solais.

Although he didn't need to do this, he wanted to give closure to the feelings that had been weighing down his heart, ever since he was given a second chance at life.
