Presently standing before us is a young man dressed entirely in black. He's grinning, but anyone would shiver at that smile. He exudes an aura that I feel like I've seen before, but I'm not sure when or where. Although his appearance seems strange to me, his silhouette in the shadows reminded me of someone I’d seen in these past few days.Since this person isn't simply an ordinary one, we might never be able to tell if he's dangerous or just acting that way. I narrow my eyes as I motion for May to follow. But, I get the impression from this young man that he is in fact disguising his menacing aura by coming closer to us.I maintain my eyes on him and continue, "We'd like to get some outfits for an event, young Sir." I observe the young man nodding while maintaining a constant smile."Two dresses for two females then, I see." He queries.The young man merely chuckles in front of us as I respond, "No, only one, this is my servant behind me,” I totally surround May since I can sense her
The dark room echoed with a deep, low voice, similar to the one the young man in front of me had used earlier. When he finally covers it up with his garments, I can glimpse a sliver of the man's golden blonde hair as I look at him from behind.The young man is currently dressed in black, just like the Celius with whom I’m currently having a conversation.I can only see his eyes. I cannot see his other bare skin or hair. The young man who was now standing next to Celius also has these intensely dark crimson eyes.When hearing two young men who are complete strangers to me speak to one another as though we are good friends is enough to make me realize how threatening I've put myself in, I furrow my brows and narrow my gaze.Even though it's already risky, I'm still unable to walk even a small distance. I'm breathing in something that I shouldn't be breathing while my heart beats rapidly. It poses a much greater risk than dying.It's as if I've entered a different realm where I'm surroun
Huh? What happened just now? As soon as I realize that I'm lying on my bed, I furrow my brows. I take a glance at myself and see that I'm still wearing my earlier nightgown. I should be getting ready, but it seems like I've slept off. It's strange since the last time I can recall, I was standing on the balcony, and then—Ugh! I feel pain in my brain.I'm not sure what happened after that. I can only shake my head as I take off the blanket covering my lower body because of this. I heard some small giggles as I am ready to step toward my closet, which causes me to startle and then widen my eyes as I felt warm hands massage my shoulders.“Who are you?”"Take it easy, Solstice." Suddenly, I recognize the voice. I can only gaze back with narrowed eyes and one lifted brow when I turn to see who it was.“Well, Xander, you're already here.”"Dear young lady, it's better to be early than late." I briefly felt as though my head hurt after hearing those remarks, but I kept it from becoming obviou
I was able to hear him perfectly, so I chose to ignore the piercing looks the women were shooting at my back and instead followed his piercing gazes to an elderly man who was clutching his wine and chuckling. He is looking at his friends while wearing a simple black mask.In contrast to the old man Xander is presently seeing, who has a tall and firm shape, the man next to him has a bulky physique. They look at each other in a strange way and have all-black hairs. They appear to be on the verge of looking in one direction, but they go slowly.Even after traveling through time, some of the individuals who were around the elderly man had peculiar looks that I was unfamiliar with. Yes, I'm unfamiliar with these people. But I can tell there's some risk just by watching them.While the other continues to smile while glancing toward the exit, the first man is constantly holding his pockets. The other friends he has imitate the elderly man holding his wine and giggling at anything uttered.As
I've never seen a young man with this appearance ask me as he extends his hand in front of me. I first squint to see if I've ever met this person, even in a past life, but I can't recall it.I just sigh and take his hand because to top it all off, he seems kind, and I need someone to distract me from my thoughts for a little time.I may need to change my plans if Xander develops feelings for this woman because my decision to come in with him wasn't made just out of emotion. It is never.I came here in order to survive so that I could take the medicine and so that the sick woman would never get better because she would kill me.She has been the cause of my death in both my first life, and if I do not take action to stop it, she will be the same cause of my current life’s death.The young man leads me to the center of the scene and dances as though he is a master of it. He has golden blonde hair and crimson eyes.In fact, I can't even dispute his incredible dancing. Even his slight move
I couldn't say anything on the spur of the moment, but I also find it hard to believe what is happening in front of my eyes. That is both mysterious and suspicious at the same time.Everything about the woman with the silver hair, the white dress, and the blood all over her and on the ground made sense.When I look into my hands, I couldn't stop my eyes from expanding in unison with the trembling in my body. I could even picture some colors of scarlet, crimson fluids pouring through my palms.These have been recurring themes in my dreams. They involve me and a crimson color that has invaded my vision, my intellect, and even my judgment. This is no longer appropriate.Who am I? Why have I been living this life this way? Am I the new me or am I still the old me?I'm perplexed —-“Listen, Solstice,” Xander must have sensed that I wasn't feeling well this time because he hugged me tighter than usual. When I tilted my head to his face to look at him, he just hugs me without any regret or o
There is a jarring pause in our conversation. I am unable to hear the room's inhabitants' joys or horror. I can only hear my own breathing, my heartbeat, and his deliberate motions. This person calls my entire plan into doubt in every way.Without the assistance of the two young men, I'm starting to question my ability to even make this work, but this time, reality hits me square in the face. I was aware from the beginning that I couldn't carry out this strategy by myself. Because of how Auster approached me that evening and how I perceived his younger brother, I may have been fortunate.I try my best to calm myself as I narrow my eyes. My hands, however, continued to be firmly clasped around the bottom portion of my dress. That's impossible. Even if he had before advised me to remain calm, this is the only chance I have to survive.Perhaps I’m unaware o given that I haven't exacted justice on the crown prince yet. I can't possibly be this timid.I inhale deeply and open my mouth, but
Everything breaks apart in a quick second, and by the time I realized what was happening, my cheeks were covered in blood. My hands are trembling, darkness looms over me, and all I can hear are the yells of those who previously opened our door.My respiration is erratic, and so are my gazes. I don't understand what Xander did, but I'm fascinated about it and afraid. When he said that I would eventually witness some grisly views, he wasn't joking.He is blocking my view so I can't see what is going on in front of me.I can feel the blood on my cheeks when I touch them. Even though it's not my blood, I flinch at the sight. I look at the young man's face to confirm that he is still Xander, the person with whom I have a deal, but his aura is threatening. It appears to be a warning...danger... Although he is deadly, I am able to restrain him with a leash.Who exactly is this man?I'm not sure. I heard his expletive just as I am about to take hold of the lower part of his suit."Close your
