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
“Know what, exactly?”He pauses, his bloody eyes flickering and turning green, "These animals, these people, and me, we have something in common that you don't, and yet I still made you my companion." I wait for him until I become inflexible and almost leave my position if it weren’t for his words.“It just so happens that you were that person for the underground event, but I was able to flip it earlier, so whoever becomes my companion will be the golden price for it.”“Why did you strike a deal with them and what transpired earlier?”“It's not a deal, but it's like a custom,” he says as I hear him sigh. “Because some of the individuals you just witnessed at this event aren't actually humans," I enlarge my eyes.“What the heck are you talking about----?” The instant I hear him slam the walls next to me, I find myself unable to continue my sentence. I can now smell the blend of sandalwood and forest in his minty breath. Although intriguing, it sometimes confuses me."Listen to me right
I discover that Xander had brought me to my room when I looked around the area. It is cold, so I pull his coat closer to my shoulder. I change how I'm sitting so I can view the book he gave me. It has a basic brown cover that is unattractive to anyone's eyes on the exterior.Opening the book reveals, however, that there are lines, illustrations, and even written words that I am unable to decipher.Possibly because they are so old, several of these handwritten documents appear to have been written with care. The paper's tidy yet worn appearance serves as evidence that the book's previous owner may have passed away. Still…-UGH!I feel pain in my head. It resembles splitting in half. There are certainly flashes of recollections that I have never before encountered, so I can't tell what is real or not. My head is still hurting. Even though my hands are trembling, I can hold onto my bed's covers until I am sitting on the edge of it.Fortunately, the throbbing stops when I support my head b
While his other siblings are with their fathers, I am in Almier's room. Almier indeed resembles the emperor; his crimson hair and golden eyes were inherited from his father.Although he has developed into a fine young boy, he is still adorable.I looked for the others as I was carrying him, and they appeared to be doing just fine. I accompany them to the garden and tell them some tales. Naturally, as I care for the children, my husbands are by my side.It appears like they could make time for me and the infants.Although Casmir is the one who is most busy with us. When I finally finished the story, everyone, including their fathers, cheered.Despite my desire, it appears that I will only have sons for the time being. I grinned at that notion and couldn't help but see how my spouses are grinning at the infants.I guess I can only love them as much as they love me right now.I am currently in my room after performing my duties as the em
I never imagined that this particular event would be used to further their integration into my life. It only makes sense that since I met them in this extremely risky way, they would eventually become more than just friends to me.I recognize a deep, low voice that says, "Let this young woman go, Xavier," which turns out to be Terion, a young man. His eyes and hair were both green. He continues to sigh while keeping his eyes fixed on me.When he finally turned to face the men next to him, he asked, "Does your heart race like mine when you've seen this lady?" while still holding his chest. They all appear to be looking in my direction as I watch them all nod in response to his query.As soon as he remarked, "You are indeed someone that we can't predict, now off you go," he opened the closed door and pushed me away from them.My eyes enlarge, yet I get a strange feeling about them. I'm not sure why, but out of nowhere, I experienced a strong pang of nostalg
I was aware that everything happens for a purpose, but doesn't the fact that these three got lost while searching for a stunning maiden simply lead their family to worry?I find myself sighing. They needed to be saved.They appeared frightened as if they had encountered a ghost by the time I had already spoken to them.Yet they appear expensive and descended from a noble family based on their attire.“Oh, sorry about your ---”Since I initially felt that they were superior to me in some way, I was about to apologize to them.Since the moment I was born, they have worn fine clothes that I have never owned. But it seems that I only admire them from a distance.I suddenly realized when I looked at my clothes that they were still valuable despite not being as pricey as the ones these three are wearing.It's because of my mother, who even attempted, to give me this clothing. I was aware that, for the time being, I could
I instantly made it a point to illuminate the red light with that, and by doing so, I spoke of the final spell I had previously learned. I utilized every last bit of my might to do this.I've known this spell for as long as I can remember. The spell of reformation.Then, after a few more seconds, the red glow that had been enveloping the dark, stormy clouds started to become white. At this point, I had no idea that I would be crying so much.When I do, the creature that had been claiming to be the real thing has already vanished into the light, and I can see Ravia's smile when I look at the true soul behind it.Her final words before disappearing with this great light were, "At last, I'm freed, thank you."I've already ascended to the highest point in the sky when I look at it. However, when I glance below, the Alchemist and the high priest are already in its grasp, along with the others, and its bright light has already pierced through their heart
“Lily, we must visit that location now or never; I must face...”“Before you leave, Solstice, I must tell you something.” I had no idea that Lily would suddenly say something that would almost make me reconsider everything.Before I can blink, Claudius' warm hands are resting on top of mine, and I notice a softer version of his previous smile.As soon as we were ready, we instantly teleported to the location where everything was happening, and before my very eyes, I witnessed my allies and enemies squaring off against one another.The only distinction is that they are already focused on me.When the Alchemist said, "Well if it wasn't the missing Wiccer, too bad that you're not the real anymore," I couldn't help squinting my eyes.I've witnessed a lot of things pass away in before my eyes, and this time I won't allow it to happen again because in the past I was unable to pass away.I stared at the Alchemist and
“We need to move right away as I noticed a bright red light illuminating the area of the sky where Lily is forcing us to perform.”“We have to act this way for no reason.”“We had to project the same thing because we couldn't just envision something like this. We had to move as quickly as we could before anything got in the way.”“What do you suppose this is?” I enquire "This is the holy trinity, Solstice," and Lily merely groaned in response.I've mastered that spell in the past, and I did it just before I was laid to rest in my casket. Three things must happen for one to eventually change the entire universe to their liking.When I was younger, I wanted the world to be informed and free from damage if I couldn't pass away. But it appears that as time has passed, that wish is fading.It has been put to the test throughout time, therefore I assume it has a shelf life.I couldn't help but
Even though we were already getting close to our goals, I didn't even hesitate to do that one thing when I knew he would be that way.Ravia might have been easily killed at that point, but I knew better.Even if we succeeded, a member of my ally would have to give his life to accomplish that goal, and I cannot permit that to happen.Not after I had already saved him from the fall.I sigh as I glance at Claudius sitting next to me. I finally succeed in starting a fire after we are inside of this cavernous area.I couldn't help but caress this young man's face and hair as his head rested on my legs while I stared at him. As I ask Caslian about this place he made, we were in this location just a short while ago.Even though Claudius had already stopped bleeding from his mouth, he was still tossing and turning in his sleep.It seems as though he had a nightmare. As soon as I realized this was going to happen, I couldn’t help but wor
Before anything further could happen, I grabbed Claudius by both cheeks to feel his warmth. His sweet gazes and loving nostalgia are palpable to me.For the sake of our reunion and preserving her, we shouldn't be calm, but I couldn't even imagine myself not acting in this way.As soon as I recognized the Claudius I had met and who had since entered my life, I hugged and kissed him.Aside from Celius, he was the first to cause me this much anxiety.I can see that the two were able to render Levine asleep by the time the dazzling light had already vanished.I can see nothing except us and Claudius' improvement when I glance around. I couldn't help but focus my vision to look for the alchemist.Zeiron, however, had already replied, "He escaped after that light came out of nowhere," as I was about to ask the two.I managed to say, "I see," at the door of this facility without even batting an eye.When I turn to face Claudius again,
Since I am unable to deny that we are currently in the devil's den, it didn't even take longer when I moved.We already had to deal with the Alchemist, the devil that the two conspirators had. We were surrounded by these creatures in this enormous hall, which reminded me of the imperial family's ballroom.Although they are all donning black and white coats, some of them were simply donning experimental attire.I merely narrowed my eyes because I couldn't even feel the want to throw up at this moment. I couldn't help but wonder about Claudius when I turned to glance around and noticed that my fellow soldiers were acting similarly.You all came here this time, so. The Alchemist laughed, and Celius was the one who started the attack. "Oh, too bad I only had one creature I claimed last time, but this time, I guess it would be many now," he said.Then I was followed by Zeiron. I was aware that Auster and the others had been carrying out their obligation
