The appearance of Kanara ,who bowed and went up pretty from greeting me.
âYou already know. The purple eyes, the vivid symbol of the Family, and The position of the Ashinov Family.â
â My, Did you cross the line because you wanted to meet the girl? â
â Yes, everyone wants to meet a girl. Oneâs way now. We seem to be the same age so can we be friends?â
Kana smiled kindly and held my hand. It was the first time I met such a kind and friendly kid. Thanks to her, The alertness between me and her sister had disappeared.
âYes, dearâŠâ
âHey! Kid!â
But before I could answer Kanaâs question, Theon hurriedly hugged me. He frowned at the sister in front of him and tried to be sarcastic.
âWhat, why are you guys here? You wouldnât have been invited to the main house this time.â
âIâm sorry, Young Master. As I walked along the familiar road, I arrived at the main house.â
âWell, thatâs a good excuse.â
Baratheon only snorted at Kanaâs polite attitude.
âLetâs go, Dana. The air here is so bad that I donât want to stay for a while.â
Baratheon completely ignored the sisters in front of him and turned away. I didnât have the right to decide because he was already holding my arm.
âHuh? Uh-huh······â
I looked at Kana, who was panicking away. She was greeting me with her eyes in embarrassment. Lina was rude, but Kana was respectful to me. There is no reason to ignore her.
âBaratheon!â
I pulled my arm . And soon he regretted what he did.
âMy arm hurtsâŠ.â
Tears welled up from her eyes because of pain.
âYou look so ignorant, kid!â
Baratheon shrugged his shoulders as if he was being falsely accused by my stare at him with his smudged mouth.
âWhy are you looking at me like that?â
âWhy are you being so rude?â
âShe greeted me kindly.â
âGreeted by her kindly?â
Baratheon snorted and took a look at where Kanaâs sister was standing.
âDo you know who she is?â
âThe Kind miss is Kanara Ossett,â
I just heard. Baratheon laughed in vain at my confident attitude.
A strange sound came from my mouth. Baratheon raised his chin insolently, apparently quite pleased with my response.
âDo you have any idea how bad he was for that family?â
Baratheon, who had been revealing all kinds of dirty tricks to make the daughter of the Ossett as his brotherâs fiancee, suddenly stopped and looked at me.
âThis is inappropriate for a 13-year-old to hear.â
That alone canât convince her.
âAnyway! Kanara Ossette is not a kind person. Donât ever be fooled by that kind face.â
âI didnât see her like that.â
I nodded at Baratheonâs advice. Originally, simple people distinguished good from evil well, so Baratheonâs assessment needed to be considered.
âItâs a big deal, by the way. I mean, bringing Gel is still a bit greedy.I meanâ
âOh, persistent people.â
Baratheon, who grumbled and anxiously looked around then hugged me even tighter.
âUgh, I canât breatheâŠ.â
âBe careful when you go out! No, donât even go out! Okay?â
âIs there a reason?â
âThere is.â
âThere are so many, so donât run into them as much as you can.â
âBut it wasnât Ashinovâs way to avoid and hide.
âââŠâŠWho did you hear that from?â
âLucas.â
âSigh, I like everything about you, but itâs a problem when you pretend to be cool. I feel like Iâm ruining the whole thing!â
Baratheon grumbled and shook his head.
âAshinov or whatever, avoid and hide when thereâs a crisis! Oh, isnât it? Itâs a hundred times better than the style Lucas said!â
***
Kanaâs words that guests were very curious about me were not a lie, and every morning when I woke up, I was bombarded with requests of meeting me.
âNo way, Iâm curious. The Granddaughter of the Grand Duke, who has fallen from heaven.â
But I turned down everyoneâs request. Among them was Kanaâs request.
âI donât have a clue who to accept and who to reject.â
However, I canât say yes to everyone, so I only have the option to reject everyone. It was also funny to refuse the reception request and to have fun outside.
Thanks to Baratheonâs insistence, I didnât really go out. I was spending time in my room mostly. Having spent so much time in vain, I, who likes to fool around, felt a sense of crisis.
âCan I be this lazy?â
It was the same that day. It was when I was rolling my bed for a long time because my eyelids were heavy even after I opened my eyes well past the morning.
âHow come the more I sleep, the more I want to sleep.â
I barely managed to yawn long enough.There was a tapping sound from the window. As I approached the window half asleep, a small blue bird pecked at the window with its beak as if protesting against letting it in.
âI think itâs peckâs hurt.â
As soon as I opened the window, the bluebird entered, flapping its wings. And at the same time, a low but familiar voice hit my ear.
<âMy king! I finally met you!â>
âMy King?â
Only one person has ever called me that in a previous life. The devil I caught! The Devil! Blanche! I took a deep breath, trying to suppress my ominous heart.
âI must have misheard you. Itâs been 500 years, hasnât it? The Horsemen were driven out beyond the Wall of Magic!â
But my positive thoughts fell apart in less than a minute. The blue bird on my shoulder approached me friendly and opened its mouth, rubbing my face against my cheek. You look different.
(Itâs only natural to be born again. But I can recognize whatever you look like. I smell the same soul.)
Even the lines are longer than before.
âThis canât be an illusion or hallucination.â
I barely turned my squeaky head and looked at the bluebird sitting on my shoulder. The bluebird sat still waiting for my answer, perhaps feeling the look.
âLetâs pretend we donât know himâ
I concluded with a gulp.
âPretending to know makes me tired.â
What happened to my life when I carried the devil around in my previous life? I think I was misunderstood and died.
âIn addition, I am very weak now.â
The devil bowed to me because I was much stronger than him. But now my body is weak, so I was no match for him. When I found out, I didnât know what the devil had looked like.
âI was reincarnated anyway, right? In fact, it was natural not to remember a past life.â
âWho are you? I donât know what youâre talking about.â
(What?)
âIâm afraid youâve got the wrong person. Goodbye, then.â
I opened the window wide, threw the bird out as hard as I could, and quickly closed the door. The bluebird, thrown away in an instant, flew far away, barely managing to keep its head above the water. I set it up again and came up to the window
(My king, youâre still as violent as ever).
(Youâre the first one who blew me up! Ha ha ha!)
The bluebird laughed furiously and flapped its wings lightly.
(I know you remember me, my king. Iâm the one who brought you back, and )
(Iâm the one who brought your memory back. We had a ritual. Thirteen years ago, it was successful, and not long ago, I was able to recall it.)
I opened the tightly closed window wide again in surprise. The bluebird flew leisurely over my head as if it knew it would be.
(I didnât expect My king to be reborn as a descendant of this stupid family, but now that my king has returned, itâs a success, isnât it?)
The bluebird circling the air suddenly landed on the floor. A dark blue light flashed, and a human figure appeared from the disappeared light. It was a five or six-year-old child.
â········ A child?â
The boyâs face turned red when I pointed it out.
âOh, I couldnât help it! The magic barrier was so powerful that I had to put a lot of effort into it. Itâll all be back in a few months. Well, youâre still as cool as you used to be. Lo··················â
The boy put out his mouth and said,
âMy king, Iâm a child but you are also a child.â
âI will soon grow up! When my strength returns!â
I looked at the brave boyâs face still. All of its features. Mud-colored hair and red eyes. Except for being a child, Blanche was the same as I remember.
âYou brought me back to life. And youâve been waiting for me for 500 years?â
The thought of bringing me back from being dead. Isnât that a huge obsession?
