YUHI

"Lennon, he changed." Sumire started. "In the second life I was getting dreams about him, at first those dreams were filled with hate but at one point something changed. During the third life I met him again, his soul was no longer stuck in limbo but he lost his memories. I pretended to be his wife since I couldn't see an alternative to get closer to him. But after three months he was killed by Lex who mistook him as a member of the rebellion."

Yuhi's eyes widened hearing Sumire's explanation. A soul is supposed to be stuck in limbo for more than two centuries. A death by a thousand arrows is a punishment that happens in every realm. This Lennon person was hit by a thousand arrows from powerful beings not humans. 

If he was reincarnated into the third, that means fate decided to give him a chance, so they wiped his memories. 

"The political scene in the fourth life was very complicated. I was the daughter of a rich family but Lex circumstances weren't good, so many people disapproved of us being together. I wasn't bothered by it and we got married. Just when people finally approved of him, Lennon appeared, this time as a Prince from a country we needed an alliance with. The Prince came over to propose the alliance personally so the council then gave the job to Lex to make sure he secures it no matter what. Lex was out of ideas until someone told him to send me."

Despite Sumire's vague words Yuhi understood. No matter how complicated the political scene was, why on earth would Lucifer do something like that? 

'Lucifer seems to be the possessive type, and I came to that conclusion from just watching Sumire drink his blood once.'

Toh interjected. "Hold on, he sent you to another man's bed despite being married?"

Sumire nodded and Yuhi could see Mashima's expression darkening again. Yuhi understood why he was angry because he felt the same, but he didn't want to affect Sumire's mood with his emotions. Mashima however seems to have no problem expressing himself.

Yuhi watched as Sumire reached over and grabbed Mashima's hand, she gave it a gentle squeeze. "Listen to me to the end?"

"Very well beautiful."

Sumire immediately retreated her hand back. It was a harmless gesture, a gesture meant to reassure the other person and calm them down. But all Yuhi could think about was how easily Sumire held onto Mashima's hand. The trip to K region certainly won't be easy. Look at him struggling on the very second day of their journey.

"He sent me to the Prince. I mentally prepared myself. I kept telling myself on the way I have to do this for my country. When I entered the foreign prince bedroom, I saw a familiar pair of eyes. It was Lennon. He first scolded me for being reckless entering some random guys chambers before we caught up. I felt really guilty after what happened in the third life, he only got caught up in the rebellion because he was getting a gift for me. He wanted to use his own money. So, uh I suppose I was really emotional when I saw him and I may have kissed him, which may or may not have led to something more-" At this point Sumire was looking awkwardly in his direction.

"You know my dear, your silence frightens me." Sumire tugged on his arm. "Won't you at least tell me what you're thinking?"

'Oh dear wife, I am having so many complicated thoughts.' The second life prophetic dreams may have just been a side effect from being the one who delivered the main punishment to Lennon. But meeting again in the third life, even the fourth and fifth? It almost sounds like Lennon is her soulmate, or at least he was a candidate. If that was the case then it would make sense that he could follow her soul so accurately.

"A-anyhow, it was only supposed to be one night. But Lennon requested to keep seeing me. Lex was really mad but he had no choice but to continue lending me. I got to know Lennon who was known as Lo at the time very well, and when he proposed. I accepted, because it was not only for the country but to give him a chance. I did tell him before that if we ever met again, he should pursue me properly and he did. But he died."

"By the Lord's hands again?"

Sumire nodded. "When Lennon went home to check on his family. Lex set the palace on fire. He claimed it was a mistake because of his beast but it was too late. I don't really know how I died in my fourth life. After Lennon's death, I wasn't in a very good state. In the fifth life, Alex attacked me the moment we saw each other. In the fifth life our soul bond was so weak, so we didn't find each other right away. When I found him, he was hiding secluded in the mountains because he killed an entire village. I stayed with him but he kept getting angry and lashing out. He kept hurting me. Eventually, I sought for help and shelter with the mercenary guild. The leader was Lennon."

The more he listens to this, the more his theory is starting to make sense. This Lennon guy was a candidate to be her soulmate, just like how Mashima, Mamoru, Nagawa, Hino and Shin are. This life is unusual since there are usually only two or three soulmate candidates. 

"In the fifth life, Lennon and me spoke a lot more. He explained to me why he had always liked me and how during my university years as a goddess, we actually had a fling-"

Toh raised his eyebrow. "Is this where you admit that you have a wild side beautiful? Though I think anybody who has dated you should know that you're very wild in bed."

Sumire squatted his arm and Toh chuckled. 

Yuhi however was only half listening to the conversation.

'I was her soulmate, but that incident pushed the thread to Lucifer and if what Sumire is saying is correct. The soulbond didn't recognize Lucifer as her soulmate at first, but she felt a pull towards Lennon before she met Lucifer.'
