"What's the story?... what's wrong?

Abel looked at me worriedly.

When I was prompted to sit on a bench in place and worried about how to cut it out, Abel noticed a scratch on my wrist and started taking care of me.

"Ah... thank you."

"No, I'm sorry I didn't notice right away."

I didn't think it was necessary to apologize at all, but I thought something like this had happened before.

I was a little more seriously injured at that time.

Don't get hurt right away.

Ah, my eyebrows are close.

"I'm sorry, but thanks to Abel, it's over."

If only the interrogation had started like that. When I think so, my body trembles.

... I wonder what happened to Gabriela. The last time I saw him, he was unconscious and was in charge of him.

Mr Abel, who understood that, said.

"Not if you grabbed a place that wasn't popular, but if you said you'd meet the prince and leave the Mansion, you might be able to go home once."

"That's right. Take away memories in some way, or..."

"Become a slave, but..."

Yeah, terrible.

It was clearer in front of me, but I think Prince Aguirresta is being subjected to the magic of a servant by Prince Yi. It also seemed to have the effect of peeking.

It was tough to be in that state... but what's more frightening is that if Abel hadn't found me, I might have been "not going home".

Mr Abel murmured because I didn't tell the main story with my mind.

"I'm really glad it's in the same place."

"Where is it?

"Oh, that's where I was questioned."

So you're here to rescue Pinpoint?

Certainly, midnight in the woods would be a good fit for an interrogation that is not publicly available.

"Thank you, it seems that royal officials occasionally use it there. Some of them looked like toilets."

That's what made me wonder.

"When Abel was questioned in the past, there was also Prince Torre."

When asked, Abel nodded.

"Ah. The toilet was young, so the interrogation was helpful, but when I was young, I had a more cruel impression.... but the words are scattered."

... I wonder who he really is.

"Why didn't Abel behave like Prince Aguirresta then?

If you think about it, it is doubtful.

If you only want information in the first place, you can make all the people you captured, like me and Abel, look like Prince Aguirresta.

That said, Abel reasoned, "probably."

"That won't work unless you completely break your heart. It works for the first time with no one to rely on, giving up everything in life and hoping to die in despair..."

"Death....."

But when Abel was captured, it wasn't exactly like that.

Miss Abel smiled bitterly at you.

"I told you, even in my dream state, I was talking about my family's lullabies.... I probably didn't really accept reality at that time."

"I mean, where do you want to be?

"It's just an escape from reality. It was just after the incident and I was young, so I felt like I still had my parents somewhere in the world. I couldn't believe my parents, who loved me so much, left me and disappeared in an instant.... it's distorted, but you don't have to say hope, right? I think that was the last time I bounced my magic back."

So I think it would have taken a while for me to face reality, Abel said.

─ ─ When I think about Abel's feelings at that time, I feel painful.

I wonder if one of you in this tower has quietly and carefully watched reality... dyed into despair.

Don't look like that.

You can gently stroke your head. Looking up, Abel smiled.

"I will definitely not have surgery now. That's enough."

"... is that so?

"Oh, this is all you care about, I'm lonely, but I'm not alone, am I?

Oops, I get a little illuminated when I say it straight.

But it was harder to say what I was going to say, and I laughed slightly and deceived myself.

Well. Speaking of loneliness and despair... I wonder if Prince Aguirresta was so desperate that he suffered from magic.

I should have had surgery at the end of my first year.

What happened then?

I was about to sink into a sea of thoughts, but I remember waiting for everyone downstairs.

The dawn is near.

I have to talk to Abel before I leave.

From what I can see, Mr Abel is waiting for me, not in a hurry.

"What we're going to talk about is true. There's no flash, no way to prove it's true."

"... ahh"

I saw you nodding deeply and spoke slowly.

"... I have a memory of my previous life. At that time, I was a 29-year-old adult woman."

Abel looked a little surprised, but silently urged me. This story may be because it is similar to what we talked about in the morning before.

And with courage, I keep talking.

"Whether I know about Tarot or the letters, it's all because I have memories of the past life."

"... when was the previous life?

"I don't know when... this is a different world. There was no magic, no beast. Tarot was nothing but a magical fortune-telling tool, and letters were ordinary characters used by a people. And I think Gabriela is likely to have come from the same world."

Mr. Abel did not deny the story, he did not affirm it, but asked questions indifferently.

"... why did you just say that?

I get a little nervous about the question.

"I was captured because Prince Ye was convinced that I knew Tarot through Gabriela… I'm sure I already knew some and could use some, so I think I can't help but want the rest of Tarot."

"Was she the beginning?... yes, you know the bathroom. The royal family seems to have such a group."

Is that still true?

I was a little surprised to hear it was a group.

"I didn't ask for a name or a clear purpose, but the central person in charge of my interrogation said he was familiar with lost magic and wanted it.... so why does the toilet lead you to Gabriela's previous life?

I was told to go back, so I breathe again for now. And I said it.

"I don't know what it does unless I actually use it, but I know all about Tarot's name, pictures and what it means."

─ ─ Gradually and gradually, we advance the open story.

"I told you I didn't know how I knew from my previous life."

That's what I told Abel when I talked about the hill incident, including Mr. Altenssia and Dr. Ray, before the summer really started.

"... I really remember everything, how did I know it as knowledge from my previous life? I was born here with all my personality and memories."

"... everything?"

The boulder Abel was also surprised.

"That's why I'm asking you."

"Please?"

I put one breath aside and said with all my heart.

"If I could be caught and used again.... before you do that, please find me again and kill me."

/(adv, adv-to, vs) (on-mim) (on-mim) feeling better/feeling better/feeling better/feeling better

Mr Abel stood up.

"Don't be stupid!

"... promise me."

One more thing I told Abel that I couldn't understand.

"Because it was clear to me that the Crown Prince, or the organization to which he belongs, was the root cause of all the evil in this country."

"Of all evil...?

I was knocked down.

"I'll tell you one more thing to explain. I've known Abel for years."

/(adv, adv-to, vs) (on-mim) (on-mim) feeling better/feeling better/feeling better

Abel said nothing, but he took a circle and calmed down.

It feels like she has abandoned herself a little, but she sat back and continued talking.

"... how did you know?

"Because my predecessors had a fairy tale named 'Golden Rose'. Abel was the character."

Mr Abel is stunned.

It will be hard to believe. It is also a disgusting story from a party.

But I had to tell you.

"In that story, Abel was a bad man. All I know is that if it were a fairy tale, Abel would end up with a“ bad dragon ”that would be defeated by a brave man."

Abel is listening to me in silence.

Even though I thought the silence was terrible, I kept talking.

"It may be hard to believe. You thought I was fooling you. But it's true."

……

"But I didn't think Abel was a bad dragon at its roots."

"... why? Is that bad dragon going to end up dead?

I was told to mock myself and shake my neck.

"There were some closing remarks for the golden rose. Some of the consequences were that Abel and the princess would be happy together."

"....."

Abel was stunned. That would be hard to believe.

"In other words, I was a bad dragon for a reason. And if the reason was removed, Abel would have been a good dragon and could have been tied to the princess."

"... so you weren't afraid of me?"

"I'm honest with you, too. I didn't want to be a bad dragon if there was an incentive, and I didn't want to go there as much as possible, so I acted."

─ ─ I didn't want to say this.

I don't think anyone would be uncomfortable to hear this.

Knowing unilaterally from the beginning, knowing destiny, trying to manipulate it, etc.

I can't see Abel's face because I'm afraid of reactions. Still keep talking.

"There was such a premise, but while I was dealing with him, I was convinced that Abel was not a bad person. I had no idea why I would become a bad dragon in the future and how I could prevent it, but I didn't read the story at all....."

Say what you don't want to say.

"If you live like this, nothing will happen. As long as we have people we can count on and we're not alone. I thought I could prevent that future."

... I wonder how humiliating it would be to be told that you "care" for a reason.

I wonder how much you look like a traitor.

But I'll separate it once.

I have to say it all.

That's why I started talking.

"Today, I thought I had been grabbed by Prince Ye. Even if Abel does not become a bad dragon, instead (...) someone becomes a bad dragon. I thought this was the world."
