“I just don’t get it. Eirik was about to kill you and forced you to forget your feelings—how can you have any excuses?”

“Pip, you’re not trying to pull one over on us, are you?”

When Pixie mentioned that Eirik wasn’t a bad guy, it sent shockwaves through the group. Messages in the world chat flashed like wildfire.

Not wanting to waste time, Pixie directly shared an item.

*【Player Pixie has shared a memory fragment. Do you wish to view it?】*

At that moment, everyone received a system notification.

Memory fragments can be shared?

Confusion spread among them.

“This is an item I got after retrieving my past life memories. It’s called the Well of Fate; you can view my past life memories anytime. Just click on it, and you’ll see the segment as a bystander,” Pixie explained.

“Oh, so it’s a bystander view? What a pity,” Liora pouted from a shadowy corner, feeling somewhat let down.

She had imagined a first-person perspective—how thrilling that would be, like a soul possession!

Still, her curiosity got the better of her, and Liora quickly clicked on Pixie’s share.

After all, Eirik had done so many bad things: he murdered his beloved wife and imprisoned his own son. How could he possibly redeem himself?

As Liora clicked the link, she felt a brief darkness envelop her, and suddenly she found herself in a grand but desolate hall.

“Is this... the Judgment Hall of the Holy Light Church?”

She realized she had transformed into a pillar in the hall, immobile and unable to speak.

However, this perspective was excellent; she could clearly see Pixie below, letting her disciples open the door to welcome an envoy sent by Emperor Raedric.

It was clear this was the night Pixie discovered the truth.

She had been freed from her state of forgetfulness by the divine artifact, the Ocean Mirror, learned the truth of Eirik’s death, and nearly perished at the hands of Raedric's five elite assassins...

“The truth is... like this?”

The once lively world channel fell silent, an eerie stillness settling in.

“I knew it; my husband’s character is beyond reproach!” Elvynna sighed, visibly relaxing.

“Waaah, I want to cry! How can there be such a good man in the world?”

“I feel awful; I called him a scumbag earlier...”

Others snapped back to reality, guilt-ridden and wishing they could slap themselves.

“...Next time, I have to apologize to Eirik! Even if he doesn’t know me, I’ll still apologize!” Selene declared earnestly.

“Ha, are you really going to apologize?” Liora silently mocked. Seriously, mentor, you’re a teacher at the Starlight Academy of Magic; can’t you show a bit more restraint with such a public statement?

I’d be embarrassed to admit you’re my master!

Just as everyone was feeling guilty, suddenly a message floated through the chat.

“I’ll accept your apologies on behalf of my husband; I’ll reluctantly forgive you, ha ha!”

Seeing Eirik’s name being cleared, Pip couldn’t help but gloat, wanting to flaunt her “main wife” status to her rivals.

The others, who were just apologizing to Eirik, felt as though they had been choked, disgust swirling within them.

They could practically see the smug grin on Pixie’s face behind the screen!

What do you mean, “I’ll accept the apologies for Eirik”?

We’re the ones apologizing; what’s it to you?

“Pixie!”

Elvynna couldn’t help but slam her hand on her staff, rage simmering in her eyes.

Finally, she couldn’t hold back, drawing her magic sword and hacking wildly at a nearby bush...

The chat went quiet, but Pixie felt unsatisfied.

“Oh right, let me show you my new skin, ‘Oath of Life and Death’! It’s a golden skin—do you know how rare it is? You must endure life and death, intertwined as a legendary couple, to have even the slightest chance of obtaining it!”

Pixie shared an incredibly beautiful golden illustration. This was also a reward from the system after retrieving her memories.

In the artwork, Eirik and Pixie stood back to back, one solid and the other ethereal, both with melancholy expressions, symbolizing the distance between life and death...

*【Effect: Oath of Life and Death (Golden): When fighting together, trigger a cooperative attack that increases magic power by thirty percent.】*

“…”

Many felt a pang of jealousy.

So many had played this game, and they hadn’t even seen a golden skin, let alone the rare purple items.

Pixie wasn’t that much better than them; she just got lucky with a good husband and became a golden card with the “Forgotten” trait—she even got a golden skin upon dying!

How infuriating!

“Ha ha, don’t envy me! It’s just a mere golden skin; next time, I’ll get an even prettier one!”

Another message popped up.

???

Junior Sister is getting more and more arrogant!

Elvynna gritted her teeth, hacking at small bushes was no longer enough—she started attacking trees...

Even Violanda, the potion master who had been lurking, felt unable to tolerate it any longer.

How could someone be this brazen?!

What do you mean “next time”? You think golden skins grow on trees?

Even she, the potion master, only had one golden item!

At that moment, Violanda couldn’t hold back anymore and anonymously typed out her first-ever message.

“This was supposed to be a perfect save, full of everlasting love, but you’ve turned it into a tragic ending, separated by life and death. What’s there to be proud of?”

True to her title, the potion master’s words struck deep.

This lifetime, she and Eirik’s story, if not a comedy, at least had been inspiring, yet it had devolved into this. Pixie’s regrets and remorse were nearly unbearable.

But she stubbornly refused to concede.

“You... what do you know? It’s precisely because it’s so poignant that it’s hard to forget! I like it, so what?!”

Pixie huffed defiantly.

“Ha.”

Violanda scoffed, no longer wanting to argue.

It was pointless to waste breath.

Next time, I’ll snatch Eirik, the golden card himself, right from the start—let’s see how smug you are then!

Of course, Pixie knew many players were eyeing her husband hungrily, drooling over him.

But she felt no panic.

“I’m already a success; as long as I replicate this experience, they won’t easily take him from me!”

Pixie was mulling over how to play the new match tonight.

First and foremost, she had to obtain Eirik again.

In this lifetime, she was determined to make up for the regrets of her past!
