After he went out, my body relaxed and I sat on the

floor.

“Lady Garnet, are you okay?” Erikson, the butler who had been receiving medicine from the doctor, asked as he was surprised to see me on the floor.

“Yes, I’m fine Erikson.”

“While you were asleep, the master was very worried about you Lady Garnet. It’s the first time in more than twenty years that the master is so restless……cough, cough.”

Erikson coughed and covered his mouth with a handkerchief. I couldn’t bear to ask him if he was okay.

Because he, who seems to be fine on the surface, actually died without enduring this winter either in the future l experienced or in the fantasies or nightmares that I saw.

“One looks ugly as they grow older.”

“… What’s the date today?” I asked to make sure, even a little bit.

“On January 1st, there was a New Year’s Eve, and from the evening of the next day, you have been seriously ill for a whole day, so today is January 3rd.” (T/N: what a coincidence, even today is 1st Jan)

The next day after spending the night with the Emperor, I suffered from a serious fever, but did not dare to call the doctor. This is because I was worried that it would seem like I wanted the attention of the man who would be with Marquis Rosaline.

I remember being ill for a very long time. However, unlike in the past, I woke up after suffering one day,

Perhaps something went wrong between the supposed point in time when I went back in time and now.

After suffering for so long, the Emperor’s carriage arrived at the Duchy. If the time I have traced back is true, the emperor’s carriage will again arrive here after approximately two weeks.

I think I’ll be able to know more clearly by then. If the Emperor really sends a carriage, what should I do then?

Then suddenly I realized something new, going back in time meant another fact.

The time I came back to was a world where Estelle, my child that he (Kailos) had taken, did not yet exist.

“Lady Garnet? Are you okay?”

Eriksson’s voice woke me up, as I had been frozen for a long time.

“Oh, yes, of course.”

I wasn’t okay at all, but I couldn’t express it in front of Erikson. While asking for understanding because

wanted to be alone, Erikson nodded with a good smile.

“Erikson.”

When he opened the door I suddenly grabbed him as he was going to leave. Perhaps it is the last consideration for him, who welcomed me when I stepped into an unfamiliar grand castle in my childhood.

“If you’re tired, why don’t you go back to your hometown and rest? This winter will be very cold.”

“For this old man, Ludwig’s castle is his home.”

Unfortunately, he didn’t accept my suggestion.

It was purely a coincidence that I encountered Marquis Rosaline.

“Oh my, who is this?”

After discovering me, the Marquis, who came closer, frowned and looked at my body. She was originally a woman who didn’t like me, but her eyes were particularly fierce this time.

Don’t do anything that will make her hate you.’

Kailos’ warning, which had always been whispering in my ear, echoed. It was the first time he directly mentioned another woman in front of me, so that voice remained a shock to me for quite some time.

That’s probably why, whenever I encountered this woman, I shrank and became meek without realizing

Because she’s an important woman to Kailos, because she’s the woman Kailos chose. So I tried not to disturb her heart as much as I could. It’s not because of the hatred I’ll get from her, but because I was afraid of being hated by him.

“After spending the night with the emperor, you think you became an empress, don’t you?”

As she approached, she picked a fight with me. It seems that it was unpleasant to see me staring at her without lowering my head.

“You look fine, so where the hell is your sickness? know you want to attract his highness, but isn’t this too much?”

Is it because I went back in time? A bad sense of rebellion suddenly sprang up.

What if I’m hated by him? Or if I don’t get hated? Will that make any difference? Eventually, he took away my Estelle.

As my thoughts went that far, my eyes suddenly heated up.

“Why are you crying? People will think I’m bullying you, can’t you stop now?”

The embarrassed woman shouted in a sharp voice, The way I stood still and shed tears with a woman who was screaming, whoever sees me, it would look like she is tormenting me.

“Stop it.”

Suddenly, with a familiar voice, a man’s well-groomed back stepped in front of me.

“Huh…?’

In an instant, I was so shocked that my tears stopped. I know the back of this man, in the distant future, that feels like a long time ago, there was the back of a man holding my hand and moving forward.

Leaning on his back, I walked along the endless darkness. Thinking that there will be light at the end of the road.

I remember that even the moon was faint that night. There was a small twinkling light that was breaking in the white moonlight.

“Lord Enoch France.”

The woman bit her bright red lips.

“What do you want me to stop? It’s unfair for me. I didn’t do anything, but she’s trying to make me a bad woman by herself…..”

“Lady Garnet needs rest.”

I couldn’t see the woman’s face because of the person who blocked me. However, could tell, without seeing that the face of the woman covered behind that bright platinum blonde was distorted.

“What’s wrong with her? In this weather, I come out to this place and walk around well. I guess men really don’t know that it’s all for attracting attention?”

Although Lord Enoch France is said to be a trusted knight by Kailos, it was very dangerous to go against her temper.

It was when I tried to reach out to Lord France’s back to stop him.

“Chloe!”

Kailos’ voice, walking from afar with other people, caught the attention of the three of us.

When Kailos, who had always prioritized his appearance as a member of the royal family, was running, the servants who followed him were even more startled and restless.

Walking with a fast stride, he snatched my wrist extending toward Lord France. Then he looked at my complexion with a pale face.

“Are you okay? The doctor said you still need to rest, why did you come all the way here? I was so surprised that you, who were supposed to be lying on the bed, suddenly disappeared. Are you feeling uncomfortable, anywhere?”

I had a headache for a while because of the constant pouring voice.

Since I learned that I had gone back in time, I felt very uncomfortable talking to Kailos. It was none other than Marquis Rosaline who saved me from that nauseous situation.

“Kyle!”

Marquis Rosaline held his arm.

Kyle…?

My eyes alternated between him and the Marquis. Kailos looked a little embarrassed, a sneer arose in my heart.

Kyle, Kyle……. Isn’t it a nickname for him that I never dared to say?

“Just now…How did you call me?”

When he asked, frowning his eyes, the woman apologized, covering her mouth with her hand as if she had made a mistake.

“Oh, I’m sorry, that name was promised to be called only in the bedroom. I made a mistake because the memories of the New Year’s festival were so strong.”

The woman glanced at me with confidence and gave me a triumphant expression, perhaps it was an intentional mistake. She must have thought that speaking in front of me like that would hurt me.

Kailos’ hand gripped my wrist, full of strength, it hurt.

“I want you to stop talking nonsense. I told you that I’ll see you again next time because the Duchy is busy with bad things.”

The chilling voice was at least the kind I’d never heard from him.

Bad things? I frowned my forehead and pondered.

But at least as far as I remember, nothing bad happened to the Duchy during this period except for the death of butler Erikson, which would happen shortly thereafter. Rather, it was a time when Kailos long-cherished desire came true as the emperor showed interest in me.

“H, How can you say that? It’s been three days since we saw each other!”

The woman protested with a look of disbeliet.

“You didn’t visit Marquis Rosaline last night?”

Kailos looked back at me at my sudden words.

“I was busy because of New Year.”

However you kept asking me if I stayed in my room, but I stopped. Behind him was Marquis Rosaline, who was blushing.

“By the way, Enoch, what were you doing here?”

Belatedly I turned around, I saw Lord France standing three steps back from us with his head down.

Because he was bowing his head, I couldn’t see Lord France’s expression. I suddenly became curious about his face. The last time I saw him felt like a distant past.

“I remember sending you to the capital city.”

“I’ve just been there, Knight Enoch France reports his return to the Grand Duke Ludwig.”

He glanced at Lord France, who reported with his knees bent in front of him, and soon turned his head.

“I’m sorry for letting you, who just returned home, work again. Do take Marquis Rosaline to her mansion.”

“Yes, your highness.”

Lord France answered without hesitation. Kailos left Marquis Rosaline, who was arguing behind him, and left the place with me.

Comments from Korean readers

Oh, emperor male lead TT TT It’s so unfortunate that you split up with the empress because of her and she asked for a big alimony. Because of uncle, he is going to kill the female protagonist.

(T/N: these readers don’t know spoilers, so they will be having different theories in their mind while commenting)

Ah….that knight….my man TT

The Emperor is the male lead, right? The driver is the second male lead, right? I need a webtoon… It’s my style to be the emperor of course. I need to get hit.. TTTT I’m going to pay take my money TT

I think they both traveled back in time together.

I want the emperor to be male lead, I wish I could connect her with the empero
