Goodbye, Saintess. Novel

The Unseen Kingdom That Followed Me Into Every Dream by Alyndra Meron Valeen 61 Summary The story opens with an emotional moment where an old man, Baron, gently touches a photograph of a child named Ian, expressing his hope to reunite and hear Ian call him "Grandpa" before he passes away. This reveals Baron's deep longing and personal stakes tied to the child's future. Baron then shifts the conversation to the narrator, Mr. Grimwald, revealing a significant past event where the narrator saved his life during a fire years ago.

Baron expresses immense gratitude, explaining that he has been searching for Grimwald ever since to properly thank him. This revelation surprises Grimwald, who had not remembered Baron due to the many lives he had saved over his career as a firefighter. The narrator reflects on how Baron's respect and matchmaking efforts towards Rhea, a woman connected to Grimwald, were based on this life-saving incident. Grimwald feels a bit guilty for misjudging Baron and acknowledges that his presence had indirectly helped Rhea avoid an unwanted engagement, which he considers a positive outcome.

As the conversation nears its end, Grimwald mentions his recent decision to quit firefighting and consider starting a business. Baron eagerly offers to invest a substantial amount of money-$670,000-with promises of more once his other ventures succeed. This generous offer shocks Grimwald, who, despite temptation, insists on clarifying some details before accepting the investment. The chapter closes with Grimwald preparing to set clear terms with Baron, hinting at the beginning of a new venture and a deepening relationship between the two characters based on trust and past debts repaid.
