The carriage that had been running for a long time finally stopped.
Unexpectedly, our destination was a fortress. And quite a fortified one at that.
I descended from the carriage under the escort of Grayan.
I had been in a daze ever since I witnessed the sacred land Hyperion, and the strange look in Grayan’s eyes as he watched me suggested he had noticed.
“Madam, are you tired?”
“Eh? Oh… no. I just feel a bit, like I’m suffering from motion sickness…”
Motion sickness, what nonsense. I was perfectly fine. The problem was psychological.
‘Why do I keep getting this strange feeling? Information that doesn’t seem like my memories keeps coming to mind….’
For example, things about shamans and spirits, or Evangelin’s handwriting.
‘And this time, facts about the Sacred Land Hyperion that I didn’t know surfaced on their own….’
Why these phenomena were appearing, I had thought about it during the journey to here….
It’s content I’ve read in the original work, but I just can’t remember it.
The original body owner, Gloria’s memories are flowing into me.
I personally thought it was the latter. I couldn’t be sure, though….
“If you’re tired, you should rest for a while. There are suitable accommodations in the fortress.”
“Oh, it’s okay! It’s inconvenient if I’m late, I should be on time! So… where is the teleportation magic circle?”
That’s right. The teleportation magic circle.
That was the reason why my party and I had come to the outskirts of the Salisbury Duke’s territory.
Through that magic circle, we could instantly travel to the capital of the Ainstern Kingdom.
That teleportation magic circle, also known as the ‘Gate’, is said to have been installed a long, long time ago.
“The Gate is a little further inside. It’s not activated yet. It is planned to be activated right before you cross the Gate.”
“Oh, I see….”
To use the Gate, the magician who oversees and controls it had to imbue it with magic. This process is called ‘activation’.
“There are five magicians in this fortress. They are all members of the Salisbury family. One is the chief administrator of the fortress, and the other four oversee and control the Gate. They usually rotate, two at a time, day and night.”
As I listened to Grayan’s explanation and headed towards where the Gate was located, the more I heard, the more I realized that Salisbury was a great family.
“The chief administrator was supposed to come and greet us… Ah, he’s coming now.”
Someone was walking from the end of the stonebuilt corridor. As the person’s face clearly entered my field of vision as he got closer, I was taken aback. I didn’t show it outwardly, though.
‘His pupils are vertical!’
Like a snake’s eye, the person’s pupils were slit vertically. The iris was a very bright and clear yellow. Moreover, parts of the skin appeared to be covered with scales.
‘Vertical pupils and scales… could it be… a dragon humanoid?’
My heart throbbed at the sudden hypothesis that sprang to mind. A dragon humanoid, I didn’t expect to meet one so soon…!
‘And judging by the yellow eyes and black scales, it seems like it’s a black dragon…!’
Amazing. Really cool!
It wouldn’t be fantasy if there wasn’t a dragon, right! And where there are dragons, there’s magic!
With a fluttering heart, I nervously waited for the person to stop in front of me. Then he smiled and greeted me.
“It’s our second meeting, Princess Gloria. Or should I now call you the Duchess of Salisbury?”
Eh?
‘Second meeting…?’
This is crazy…. Yet another character that doesn’t exist in my memory has appeared!
‘When was the first time we met? ……Ah, was it on the day Gloria got married to Grayan?’
Since they had to cross the border, they must have used the Gate. It seems like that was when we met.
It’s not in my memory, though…. Haha…. I awkwardly laughed and sneaked a glance at Grayan. Notice it already, husband! I have amnesia!
“Ah.”
After about 15 seconds, Grayan uttered a word. It seems he finally realized. Quick, husband, defend me.
“Actually…. my wife has a chronic illness.”
“Chronic illness?”
“That’s….”
As Grayan explained about my amnesia, the dragon humanoid magician raised his eyebrows and stared at me intently.
Is it because his pupils are vertical? His gaze felt a little scary.
“Arwin. Don’t threaten my wife.”
As I flinched unknowingly, Grayan enveloped me as if to shield me and scolded the magician. So, the magician’s name is ‘Arwin’. But…. he didn’t seem threatening, though….?
“Threat? I don’t recall any.”
Arwin, appearing utterly flabbergasted, bestowed a gentle smile towards me. His sharp aura softened as he smiled… The penetrating gaze, however, remained the same.
“I apologize. My memory isn’t intact… Could you reintroduce yourself?”
“Of course, Duchess. I understand.”
Arwin complied surprisingly agreeably to my request. Then, quite gentlemanly, he introduced himself as he bowed slightly.
“I am Arwin Leventium. I’m the head of this fortress, and a snake Therianthrope, as you can see.”
“Huh? A snake… Therianthrope?”
Male lead reborn without memories — but he still falls for her.
The person he finds displeasing in this life turns out to be his cherished wife-master in previous life…
Xie Zhi and Fang Xianxing who had known each other for less than three days through a blind date sat in the same car in front of the civil affairs bureau. They had a disagreement and failed to get married.
Xie Zhi immediately took out his phone, slid through his contacts, and randomly selected the next marriage candidate.
The woman snatched his phone and hung up. Looking at his phone wallpaper, she awkwardly changed the subject: “An ancient painting, eh? It looks pretty good, it’s just that the person in the painting looks a bit like me.”
When he heard this, he sarcastically mocked her for being so delusional, completely unaware that, the person in front of him was the reincarnation of Wen Ru, the famous prime minister of Yuan Shun whom he most admired…
