Episode 57

But after saying that, Ari shook her head again .
“……no, no . I think it’s a bit too early to say it now, and if it’s not true, it’ll only bring disappointment . I’m sorry, eonni . I was going to say it, but I stopped . ”
“No . Don’t apologize . ”
Then a maid knocked on the door and came in .
It seemed that she was trying to replace the lukewarm tea with a new brewed hot one .
“The taste of this tea is unique . Was it originally in the mansion?”
“Oh, this is…… . . ”
After changing the subject, I took a steaming teacup to my mouth .
The unique taste was not a word that was taken out, but a sincere one . I tasted it slowly, taking care not to burn my tongue in the hot tea .
‘What was she trying to say?”
I changed the subject and just let it pass, but it doesn’t mean that I wasn’t curious about what Ari was going to say .
But I didn’t want to force her .
‘The book . ’
As soon as I got home, I came up to the room and took out a familiar book from the shelf and opened it .
The story underlying this world .
But now it’s very meaningless .
‘Because the protagonist has disappeared . ’
There is no Aggrita here . It’s just Ari .
It has already been verified at a time when the world is trying to kill Ari that the kernel inside is important, not its appearance .
‘It’s the story of Aggrita, but without her…… . ’
Several main characters such as villains and male characters still exist, but it was still the story of Aggrita at the core of the story, as the title suggests .
So now that she’s gone, the whole plot of the book designed around her has been shaken and distorted .
It’s not really about Agrita’s existence, but it’s going to go as it was originally set .
‘Yes, like my death . ’
Flap flap .
The book pages went over with a cheerful sound of paper sheets .
Aggrita was absent, but my origin remains the same .
Even if her absence changes the story, the fact that I am not the blood of this family and that I am not Ash’s sister does not change .
‘So I can’t deny it, I can’t doubt it . My disastrous future . ’
The fast-paced book pages stopped suddenly on a page .
I read the exposed page silently with my eyes .
[The death of Princess Widgreen .
The sudden and shocking incident left the dukedom in the silence of mourning .
The users either shed tears or paid their silent tribute .
But the flesh under his hands, the Duke of Widgreen, who should be most grieved, was, ironically, the most indifferent of them .
In fact, he had no choice but to .
Duke of Widgreen . Because he was the one who put his own sword into my sister’s heart last night .
Standing at the window of his office, he took a dim view of the mansion grieving over the portrait of the princess .
His heart and soul, knowing that he had killed the princess himself, hesitated and dared to ask before him .
“Your Excellency, why did you do that?”
But the words that came back were out of the blue .
“Amazing . Everyone is very affectionate . ”
“Yes?”
“You all can truly sympathize with the death of another person who didn’t share any drop of blood, even enough to show tears . ”
“…… . ”
“It’s a pity . That I don’t have that kind of affection . ”
His right-hand realized only then . This was an answer to his question .
Princess Widgreen is not actually the Duke’s real sister .
It was a secret that only a few people knew in the mansion . The results of the revelation of the hidden truth were devastating .
The right-hand man bowed his head in mourning for the dead . ]
“………”
When I first read this passage, I was so surprised that I dropped the book .
Perhaps because I read it so much, so now I have a different impression than a shock .
‘It’s no fun . ’
The book was boring .
‘If this novel was put in a bookstore, it wouldn’t have been sold . ’
Now I’m telling you, the book’s narrative and dialogue line are really no fun .
The psychological description of the characters is extremely lacking, and events should be able to weigh different things between drama and daily life, but there is not much of that .
Sentences often seem to be the sole purpose of delivering information .
‘Establishment, deployment……was it a crisis, a climax, an end? Sharing is very ambiguous . ’
Who wrote it? It may have been a simple transcription of a character’s life, but in many ways, it was a terrible novel .
It’s missing, missing . It’s not just the main character, it’s also missing the fun .
‘……well, it’s not very important . ’
I flipped down a few more pages of the book and soon covered it up .
Since that day five years ago, I have read it several times over the night .
Even if I look at it again now, chances of finding something that I haven’t found before were slim .
‘Ari said she’ll let me know when it’s the time . ’
Ari said it was too early to say now .
Then, if it was time to come, she said she would bring it up again and talk about it again .
I put the book back where it was, then moved a little and opened the desk drawer .
When I thought about Ari, there was something that came to my mind .
‘The time bead that turns back time . ’
I was going to talk about this when I met Ari today .
And then the unexpected topic of God of the Dimension came up, so I forgot about it .
‘I can’t believe I’m only remembering it now . ’
I took out the paper and unfolded it and held the quill pen in my hand .
I stole half the time beads from the temple that served the God of Time .
That meant the other half was still there .
‘Let’s have Ari steal it and keep it . ’
Insurance is always better than nothing .
Right now, Dylan is taking care of Ari’s safety . However, human affairs were originally unpredictable .
What if something happens to Dylan? An unexpected accident, an incident, or whatever .
‘Cause she said she was looking for God of Dimension . Maybe we should get away from the capital . ’
The fifteen time-reversing beads were too enchanting and useful insurance to let go, knowing their existence .
The fact that the bead had disappeared from the movement of the temple did not seem to have been detected until this point .
The sooner we were going to steal the rest, the better .
‘I should say I’ll visit her tomorrow morning . ’
I was going to tell her the story of the bead in person .
It was better than writing because I would like to share the process in as much detail as possible and pass on the secret method (?) .
Holding a pen and paper was to send a message in advance of courtesy before my visit .
Viscount Grace Mansion was located on the outskirts of the capital, so the time was vague to visit again now .
It is also best to go early tomorrow morning .
I hesitated to move my hand holding the pen .
‘…… I should’ve taken the marble down to the territory . ’
If so, I would have broken the bead as soon as Ash was hit by an arrow, so Ash could have gone back to nothing .
It was foolish of me to think complacency that there would be no use for beads without Ari around .
I bit the inside of my lips to the point where it tasted a little iron (bloody), and soon shook my head as if I were shaking off the past .
Then I began to write a letter .
[Dear Lady Grace]
But I had to stop my hand again after writing it there .
It wasn’t for any other reason .
‘There’s no ink . ’
I peered at the ink can where I had dipped the pen point .
When did it run out?
Come to think of it, I think I vaguely remember seeing the floor before .
‘I’ll have to replace it at this point . ’
I couldn’t care less because I didn’t have much to look for .
Tell Bessie about the ink and she’ll get a new one right away .
I left the room and went down to talk to her in person because I had to make a round trip for a small errand .
But what I encountered on the first floor was Bessie, who was ready to go out .
“Bessie? Where are you going?”
“Oh, my lady . I’m thinking of going to the market . I have a few things I need . ”
“Bessie alone? Without having Alex or any other servant . ”
“I’m going to go out and take a break . All I have to do is put in the order form . By the way, do you need anything, my lady?”
“Oh, no big deal . I just need some ink… . . ”
“Oh, that’s great . That’s also during this time of year, and the quality is better than usual and there are various types of products . ”
There was something strange about Bessie’s words . I pointed out the odd point aloud .
“This time?”
“It’s a harvest festival soon . ”
I suddenly counted the words .
Come to think of it, it did . At the end of 9th month, it was time for autumn to ripen and the harvest festival to take place .
‘Is that already happening?’
No way .
‘My future is still like a black ink can that I saw a little while ago, but time flows like this . ’
It was amazing .
I gulped down a sigh and corrected my expression .
Anyway, it was understandable that Bessie would go to the market in person, as soon as the harvest festival was held .
With the festival ahead, quality products poured out on the streets of the capital city .
‘It feels like the part before the holiday . ’
Of course, the price would be higher than usual but not to an extent that it would dire the Dukedom finance .
“It’ll be fun to watch if we go out now . Would you like to come with me?”
“Huh? Me?”
“You said you needed ink . It’s not something we don’t have in the mansion, but why don’t you choose something you like and feel good about?”
“I agree . ”
This wasn’t my answer . Looking around, Sir Davery stood around while I came down .
“What about that sir?”
“I thought I’d stop by the weapons store . ”
“You want to change the sword?”
“I was thinking of checking a sword . Bessie, is this welfare funded?”
“Well, whatever . I’ll talk about that to the butler after coming back . ”
“Okay . The answer came out . Lady, let’s go together . ”
“ . . … . ”
‘Why is the answer getting out of there?’
The unexpected outing was decided so abruptly .
