Episode 21: Outdated Habits

Kailos got here to his senses and found that he had traveled again in time amid a chaotic tangle of recollections.

He couldn’t bear in mind his final recollections earlier than he had gone again in time. The extra he tried to recollect, the thicker the voice grew and his headache acquired worse.

As a substitute of considering of his previous life, Kailos started to deal with Chloe, who was sick.

“Chloe…”

She was all the time full of life and exquisite in his reminiscence, however the lady mendacity in entrance of him was fairly skinny.

“Nonetheless, she’s alive…….”

It wasn’t a dream, at any time when he tried to think about the longer term, he had a headache. Every thing he went by way of is actuality.

“Keep alive, Chloe…… My Chloe…….”

He thought he may look a bit of loopy when he muttered to himself, however Kailos didn’t care about something.

Chloe is alive, that alone made the entire world really feel heat.

I’ll by no means repeat silly issues on this returned life. When the fever drops and he or she opens her eyes, I ought to be nicer than ever. I would like to like and cherish her rather a lot.

As quickly as she opens her eyes, I’ll see the face smiling brightly at me once more. After I thought so, my coronary heart started to beat.

“Ugh…Uh…Uh…….”

Kailos, who was nonetheless watching her face, was stunned by the sound of her groaning and wiped her sizzling brow with a chilly towel.

“You have been so sick, how did you endure it previously?”

His previous self, who turned a blind eye to her ache, was insanely disgusting. The physician didn’t actually discover the reason for her sickness, maybe spending the night time with the Emperor on the New Yr’s pageant shocked her physique and thoughts.

Rattling, that is all due to him(emperor).

……No, it’s not due to him, it was due to me.

The physician mentioned she had a slight fever simply earlier than New Yr’s Day, however she by no means confirmed it in entrance of me, as a result of she all the time wished to look good to me. She most likely hid the truth that she was sick on goal as a result of she didn’t wish to break his plan.

“I received’t do the identical factor once more,” Kailos murmured as if he have been decided, capturing Chloe along with his sickly sunken eyes.

However that promise started to creak from the second Chloe opened her eyes.

Chapter 3: So, Don’t Love Me.

I couldn’t watch Kailos crying on the ground. Not as a result of he was pitiful, however as a result of he was disgusting.

After taking away my younger Estelle like that and making it unimaginable for me to dwell anymore. I didn’t wish to see him saying that he loves me now. I’ve already been fooled by him numerous occasions, I wished to cease now.

After passing by way of the hallway, I got here out. I didn’t wish to return to my room the place I left Kailos. I want he wasn’t there after I return, however since all the pieces on this Duchy is his, even my room felt disgusting.

The chilly air of a winter night time enveloped my pores and skin. I didn’t wish to cry in entrance of him anymore, however my complete face stung due to the tears that flowed, out of the proprietor’s will.

“The air is chilly, Woman Garnet.”

With a low voice, a thick cloak fell on my shoulders. I turned my head slowly and appeared on the different individual. It was Lord Enoch France’s third encounter with me since I went again in time.

“Lord France….”

I took a step again and widened my distance from him. His light gaze turned in direction of me, it was solely then that I noticed that I got here out in a skinny one-piece. Belatedly feeling the chilly, my physique trembled.

“Excuse me for a second.”

With a delicate voice, he approached fastidiously. A fragile contact firmly tightened the entrance of the cloak. Then he stepped again instantly and informed me, “Staying exterior for a very long time in that gown will hurt Woman Garnet’s well being.”

“Thanks, however I don’t wish to return to my room but.”

Lord France appeared fairly embarrassed at my faint however decided reply. I felt bizarre, Lord France is sincerely involved about me.

Why does he all the time do this type of favor for me…..

“Then I’ll information you to a spot apart from your room.”

“No, I’ll keep right here a bit of longer and go in. I admire your concern, however it’s okay.”

I used to be curious, was he watching me the entire time? How did he come to me as quickly as I got here out?

“…..Then, is it okay to remain by your facet till then?”

As a substitute of suggesting I am going in yet another time, he requested for permission to remain subsequent to me. I circled with out answering, as I walked alongside the paved highway, I heard footsteps following me a number of steps behind.

I’m certain he noticed my swollen pink eyes, however I used to be grateful he didn’t ask something.

Lord Enoch France was initially that sort of individual. An individual who stays nonetheless as if he quietly retains his place. Surprisingly sufficient, his existence comforted me at this second.

As I walked wherever I may, a darkish entrance to the backyard appeared, a white lamp was lighting up the environment. After I stopped strolling for some time, Lord France lowered the lamp hanging on the entrance and handed it over to me.

“Thanks,” I answered calmly and stared at him. The calm smiling face notably disturbed my imaginative and prescient. I struggled to show my head and stroll contained in the backyard.

After touring again in time, it was the primary place I set my toes. Right here, the place I had cared for Kailos, he sat one other lady on his lap and kissed her, whereas trampling all my efforts and sincerity.

The cool winter leaves rustled and touched my fingertips that stretched out slowly. A pointy ache ran by way of my fingertips and soaked my coronary heart. Why does it damage a lot?

After I clasped my hand, a inexperienced winter tree leaf crushed in my grasp. It didn’t relieve my frustration, so I clasped my hand more durable and more durable. Skinny veins stood on the again of my clenched hand.

“Woman Garnet.”

Lord France, who was a number of steps away, approached me and handed me a handkerchief. I alternated my gaze between his handkerchief and my fist. He patiently waited for me, it wasn’t lengthy earlier than I opened my fist.

The thorns of the winter tree have been as sharp as they have been chilly. My palm, scratched by a thorn, was bleeding.

I assume I’m loopy. Seeing that though the flesh is torn, it doesn’t damage as a lot because it feels cooler.

“…….”

As I silently blinked my eyes with out taking his handkerchief, a low sigh leaked by way of his lips. After I appeared up in shock at him, there was Lord France, who crumpled the ends of his eyes with an embarrassed expression as earlier than.

“Woman Garnet takes plenty of work.”

“I by no means requested Lord France to achieve out.”

His phrases seemed like he was blaming me, so I responded in a defensive method.

“That’s proper, so it’s all due to me who can’t let it go.”

His gently stretched out hand wrapped round my wrist. As if coping with a glass doll that breaks when touched incorrectly, a fragile and cautious contact wiped away my wound.

Nonetheless, trying down at my palms stained with blood, he barely frowned. I used to be amazed by his look, so I glanced up at him.

He took out the ointment he was carrying and utilized it to my hand. When his handkerchief was wrapped round my hand, I assumed the handkerchief wrapped round my hand and the scenario was fairly acquainted.

Lastly, after the remedy, he raised his head and made eye contact with me, and let go of my hand in bewilderment.

“Woman Garnet……?”

“Oh, I’m sorry, I used to be looking at you an excessive amount of.”

A small snicker burst out. He blushed as if embarrassed. It was additionally superb, Lord France, frowning, embarrassed and blushing.

“It’s my first time speaking to Lord France this a lot…….”

I glanced down on the handkerchief he had wound round, blurring the top of my phrases. A skinny layer of blood was dripping from between the white handkerchief. Even whether it is washed clear, it is not going to return to its unique coloration.

“A handkerchief should be rewarded with one thing higher…… Lord France?”

After I appeared up once more, there was Lord France, who was turning his head with one hand overlaying his face, which had turned pink.

“I’m sorry, I’m simply…….” Lord France stuttered, sweeping down his face as soon as.

“I don’t wish to repeat the identical remorse…….”

“What?”

“…….”

For a second, I couldn’t perceive what he mentioned, so I tilted my head.

I believe Lord France was a extra shy individual than I’ve ever identified. I assumed he was only a silent knight who quietly did his personal work. His look immediately modified my thoughts a bit of.

“I talked an excessive amount of. If it was an excessive amount of interference…… I’m sorry.”

His angle of apologizing in such a critical method made me burst into laughter.

“What are you speaking about?”

After I coated my mouth and laughed, he stared at me.

“…….”

Whereas laughing out loud, I finished laughing and turned my head awkwardly in embarrassment.

“Woman Garnet.”

“…….”

“I believe you look extra stunning while you smile.”

Instantly, I noticed a truth from what he mentioned.

……I laughed.

After going again in time, I used to be in a position to smile comfortably for the primary time.

“Ah…”

With a small exclamation, the tears that had stopped burst once more.

“Woman Garnet?”

He referred to as my identify once more in embarrassment. I sobbed over him who didn’t know what to do. I laughed and sobbed, however there was no crying.

Instantly, what Raymond informed me got here to thoughts.

‘Like this, I’m asking when you cried like swallowing a sound.’

I assume it was my behavior that I didn’t know both. Come to think about it, when was the final time I cried out loud?

I used to be a baby in a faint reminiscence. The person I referred to as my father was offended at me, I don’t even bear in mind his face now, however I solely do not forget that he was a really heat man a very long time in the past.

The person shouted at my cry and threw issues. It was a girl who was hit by the item, Mom. The one lady who didn’t let go of my hand till the top and who liked me.

a girl sobbing with blood on her head, I coated my mouth with each palms. I couldn’t cease crying, so I coated my mouth and cried.

I wished to regain my sense of crying out loud as I had a very long time in the past, however irrespective of how exhausting I attempted, there was no sound. Solely the sobbing resonated into the air, a sound that nobody may hear.

It’s my first time seeing a gaggle regression, so who’s going to kill that bastard first?

It’s just like the creator employed a tour bus. (A visit again in time!!)

Sure, let’s go to lord France!

No, is all of it beginning once more? That’s a really new improvement ㅋ

Lord Enoch France got here again, too. However I assume he appreciated the feminine lead even earlier than he got here again.
