Chapter 358 Resolution

Beatrice paused as well and seemed to consider the idea. She sized up Valeria who had sweat on her brow and her origin energy was struggling to quickly recover from the wanton consumption and smiled playfully.

"Sure," Beatrice agreed casually as she shrunk down rapidly.

Valeria sighed with relief internally and was about to say some tough words that contained some hint of deference in order to simultaneously placate Beatrice and establish herself as not that weak, but her mouth snapped shut when Beatrice suddenly appeared beside her faster than she could think.

"Let me handle the transportation then." Beatrice offered without waiting for acceptance, placing her hand on Valeria's shoulder and teleporting them right in front of the still stunned Keira.

Before this second semi-awakened forest fairy reincarnation could even exclaim, she was also grabbed and taken through a quantum tunnel into the Eternal Universe. The two of them only realized that they were in a new location the next instant, within a large chamber that was very stylish and modern by the Eternal Universe's standard.

Beatrice let go of Keira and pushed her onto the couch. "Sit there for now and be good. Don't bother trying to escape because we own this entire universe."

Keira sat down and wore a conflicted expression but obediently settled in. After all, she had seen so far, the rebelliousness had been beaten out of her. Now, she just wanted to survive this entire ordeal in peace and possibly regain her full memories and power.

As for Valeria, she was still stunned. The realization that Beatrice could easily teleport like this and without any delay nor detection made her understand that Beatrice could have ended her at any time when they were fighting.

In other words, Beatrice had been toying with her the entire time!

"Now you. Let's pay a visit to my husband and see what he has to say about your existence, hmm?" Beatrice turned to Valeria and said with a fake friendly smile.

Once again, Valeria was unable to react as Beatrice took them both to the master bedroom where Dante was currently watching cartoons with Antonia, the father and daughter having a great time.

When they noticed that Beatrice had returned, there was initially some happiness and excitement on their faces until they noticed the accompanying guest. While Antonia had an expression of curiosity, Dante's expression changed greatly as he recognized who had come.

Meanwhile, Valeria also had a happy expression when she saw Dante again after so long, but it warped when she noticed the child on his chest. Looking at Antonia's purple hair and eyes, whose child could she be except Beatrice's, her rival?Updated from novelbIn.(c)om

"Well, here we are. Dante dear, this is your 'friend' Valeria, and she couldn't wait to see you again." Beatrice said in a sickly sweet tone as she patted Valeria on the back as if to encourage her to go on.

Antonia became silent as she realized that something was wrong from her mom's behavior and sunk into Dante's chest, while Dante himself sighed internally and decided that this matter had to be handled properly if he wanted peace in the coming centuries.

Dante then turned to Beatrice and continued. "And from you Beatrice, I did not expect this. I'd understand if Valeria had caused me or you some problem which caused you to seek her out, but to go so far just out of jealousy... I'm disappointed."

Beatrice was shocked. She looked into Dante's eyes and saw that he was serious this time, and she could help but feel extremely sad. Now that she had been confronted about it, she realized her actions were irrational and unfair, but she also knew she couldn't have stopped herself.

This left her unable to speak and defend herself because there was nothing to defend. If Dante had cheated on her, this would have been her battlefield, but he had ceased all contact with Valeria from the moment she signed the contract with her way back then, even before they actually confirmed their relationship properly.

Since then, he had not made any attempt to rekindle his relationship with her, having remained completely loyal. The more Beatrice thought about this, the more shame she felt and the more she understood Dante's disappointment.

Having successfully dealt with the situation, Dante nodded his head. "I don't expect you two to become friends, but we are not enemies. As far as I am aware, you, Valeria, came down here upon Etz Chaim's request to help prevent Lara from achieving her goal, isn't that right?"

"..yes." Valeria answered tersely.

"Great, then we're allies in the same boat. I don't know what the conditions you forest fairies require to return to higher-

dimensional space in your true form are, but I'm sure once we see this collective goal accomplished, you can go back in peace." Dante replied with a smile.

Valeria didn't say anything. In the end, she shook her head and left the room, standing outside the door with a conflicted and lost expression, not knowing where she wanted to go or what she even wanted to do.

In the end, she left the estate and entered the streets of Avalon City, disappearing into the crowd once more.

Back at the estate of the Alighieri family, Dante took his glance from the direction Valeria left in and then focused on Beatrice who looked terrible. His heart did soften considerably, but he did not show it on his face.

"Well?" Dante asked with folded arms.

Beatrice sighed and moved to sit down. "I'm sorry Dante, I let my jealousy get the better of me this time."

Dante relaxed and sat down beside his wife. "To be honest, I understand how you feel. It doesn't feel good knowing that the person you love has had altercations with another person before you, especially when you actually know who that person is."

"I'm not angry at you for seeking her out, its understandable. I am only angry for you bringing her here when our daughter was around, causing her to feel uncomfortable." Dante revealed as his clone brought Antonia back into the room, the young lady fast asleep now.
