Spoiler!
ML invites Tenus to join the manhunt for the criminal in H.H. In between, Tenus ask again how ML turned back time and ML said ‘try killing your companion’. ML understands that even if he turns back time, there is no turning back. MC doesn’t trust him and that became the reason she is obsessed with wanting a successor. He laments that they are still misaligned and could not turn back at all. Tenus didn’t ask further. He agrees to join them on the manhunt as he detest these type of people that bullies the weak.
When Tenus was alone with MC, he asked why MC is still so nice to ML. MC replied that she is just doing her job and she tried to escape to no avail. She is still trying but she cannot seem to escape. It seems like she is fated to be by his side. Tenus commented that she doesn’t look tired or sad though, and she thought to herself that maybe she had enough of being sad. Was it now ok that she used to love him enough and also from the amount of love she received from the time? She doesn’t know but will continue to think about it.MC tries to run away again and ML once again caught her. Tenus has been away from the imperial city too long and it was time for him to head back.
I like to post spoilers for the stories I find interesting because I don't have much time to read novel due to busy schedule
