“As usual, Milady here is your tea.”

“Thank you, Linia. By the way, did you happen to see where Kaylla is?” As Linia sets the tea and cake in front of me, I inquire. I specifically ask Linia to fetch me a cake, and perhaps the family's head chef, whom I respect because all of his cuisines are delectable, baked me one.

My favorite cake, strawberry flavor, is what I see when I look at the dessert. If Linia's remarks hadn't caused me to turn away from the cake and focus instead on her happy smile, I might have started to drool.

"Kaylla, been busy following Sebastian's orders, Milady. If you'd like, though, I can call her for you," Linia says as she was about to approach the door and open it. I take a few deep breaths before finally grinning at her.

I answer, "No, you don't have to call her Linia, I'm just glad she's doing alright," but as I turn to face her, I notice that she is biting her lower lip and diverting her attention away from me to the ground.

    I close my mouth while covering it with both hands. My eyes enlarge as I become more aware of the voice.The Duchess is speaking, and I can almost make out her weapon splashing against the man's back. Screams rang out throughout the area, but no one seemed to have heard them because nobody rushed to the man's aid.I then realized that everything had been well thought out. Because of this, they already gave the impression that servants are not permitted.It is a result of how sensitive people are to cries for aid. It's a pretty astute maneuver from the Duke, or maybe the Duchess planned it all out? Who knows, but I'm convinced of one thing: no one in this noble family's home is innocent, even though at some point their fortune has grown suspiciously huge.I maintain control over my breathing until I hear more from the man whom the Duchess is still torturing. The sound of the unknown weapon the Duchess used, however, which had previously caused my ears to bleed, was overshadowed by sile

    I move as quickly as I can. I decided to go to my room as soon as I finished gathering the papers from the previous room. That's the only way I can be sure, but this time, it's not just me; the individuals who will create and put this into action need this information desperately.This family is suspicious from the beginning, even in my prior existence, as I had suspected. This time, though, I won't dismiss these guts because they are genuine.I lean my back against my closed door while the papers are strewn across my room's floor. They have always been that way, but I don't care. My hands rush as quickly as they can to my mouth to stop the hiccups and breathing I'm inducing. My eyes widened.I felt like nothing more than a pawn after finding those papers.She is here. The real daughter is present here. However, she is being kept concealed for reasons relating to the medication that the servant Alexis failed to claim. I am not sure where in the house she is located.Without even reali

    Finally, night has descended once more. My desk is filled with letters from various dignitaries as I strained my eyes.As Kaylla and I are moving about the household, a servant says, "Milady, Sir Rutherford said that you should always be careful," he bows and nods in response to my thanks and nods.Now that night has fallen, I examine my hands. After having soft hands my entire life, I am finally able to see some signs of struggle in them. I can now feel the hardships and calluses from my first life imprinted on my palms, marking an event I will never forget.I spend my life in that manner, and I will never forget those who deceived me. I shake my head while making tight fists with my hands.I suppose this time, I can finally complete my goals, but I suppose I have to first apologize to Sir Rutherford since, no matter what I do, I will never be able to avoid harm.Once I’m confident of what I’m going to do after hearing those words in a whisper, I didn't hesitate to smile.

    Over time, silence predominated. For the entire minute, no one has mentioned anything I've stated. Even Auster's appearance caused my eyes to tighten. He continues to stare at me as if he is trying to decide if what I’m saying is real or simply a joke from his friend. I didn't smile or laugh at him at that moment, though.I simply cross my legs while sitting and lift one eyebrow as I lean to gaze at him.“So, my friend, what do you think of my proposal?” I did inquire, but as soon as I realize I had just copied Xander's speech pattern, the words I had just spoken had a terrible aftertaste.Shaking my head, I sit back down on the chair and cross my hands over my lap in anticipation of the young man's remarks.Even though I’m dead serious when I said those remarks, I never anticipated that he would simply laugh it off and decide that I had indeed told him a joke.“Solstice, you're not simply talking about a game. Although I am aware that being a hunter is not a noble profession,” he sti

    I examine my surroundings to make sure nobody will notice me. Even though I had already assured the horseman that I would have plenty of time to explore the area, he had no reason to believe me until I said a few things that I had previously told him. Perhaps having a cause makes being strict not so bad.When things appear to be going according to my intentions, that is.After setting my feet firmly on the uneven ground, I straighten my coat and keep my eyes narrow as I hide in the nooks of the room. The environment is not dark. It is illuminated by a lovely golden light coming from the wall-mounted lamps.One thing I can be sure of is that these people, who are dressed in all black and have black masks covering their faces, appear to be involved in what Alexis had depicted. My eyes follow every movement of the people surrounding the area.Even if the people's images weren't drawn, it turns out that the deceased servant knew what he was doing.My eyes widen as I prepare to leap step,

    I try to say something to this young man—even just a word or two—but it feels as though I can't even get my voice out. I furrow my brows since I can't tell whom he is referring to. To whom is the young man referring? That has only piqued my interest in him.Before he finally sighs, I could blink againXander grabs my hand and says, "Either way, you have to follow me if you don't want to put yourself in danger any longer." I quickly evade his grasp. Instead, I make some solid statements."No," I respond as my eyes narrow, making him gaze at me as if I really am crazy. However, since I'm already inside, I don't care. We have already invaded, so it wouldn't be fair to leave without learning anything at all.“I didn't go here to have my efforts go to waste, and I don't want you to tell me what to do. Why even try to interfere in my affairs, and who is this guy you're referring to?”“You are rather persistent for a young lady, I must say, the majority of women would like a life of luxury,

    He stares at me as if looking for my soul, but instead of responding to me right away, he leaves me speechless. Similar to how Auster had earlier in the day, I felt exposed in front of them even though I wasn't.I give him the same look he has on me rather than cowering my way out. He releases me first with a deep sigh, "Executioner, huh?” And then we continue to stare into each other's eyes.“Funny how you act like such a tough young lady when you can't even handle the threats around you.”“Even though you are one of them, I am already negotiating a deal with you.”“What will I receive if I carry out your plans, then?“I'll follow your instructions, with one exception, though.”“One thing, right?”“I am now your brother's friend, so I can't follow your advice to avoid him.”He says, "Friend, such a poor term to utter," and then chuckles, as if I had just said something amusing to him.“I guess there's something about you that intrigues me, but I'm not asking that.

    Time seems frozen. It briefly pauses before restarting, but this time it moves more slowly. All I can hear as it passes by is my tense breathing and the constant hammering of my heart. I appear to open my lips, but I know I can't say anything to refute the crown prince's charge. If it's called that, it's because this individual is accusing me right now.I feel trapped in this circumstance. I'm hardly able to move. It's difficult for me to even raise my head to appear as if I'm nodding without significant resistance.Before I can even comprehend what is happening, I feel a warm, regal breath touch my skin as his long, fair-skinned finger moves up and down over my jaw while he chuckles.As he never did anything other than ignore me and act as if I didn't exist in the past, or even in my prior existence, this may be the first time he does this to me and the first time we have been this close.So, what causes him to look at me right now?

    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 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 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

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.

    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.

    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.
