Moreover, it hadn’t rained for the past two days. It meant there was no reason for the person in charge to inspect this facility.
“Miss, why are you stopp…”
Ines, who sent a signal to be quiet by holding up her finger, closed her eyes momentarily and concentrated to find the direction of the sound. The noise came from a place not too far away.
Of course, someone else might have entered here like them to use it as a shortcut. But a certain chilling premonition made Ines reduce her footsteps even more.
As she slowly moved her body, Susan secretly followed Ines.
Ines finally found the place where the voice was coming from, and she focused on the face of a moving shadow in the dark. And at what she saw, she had to clamp her mouth shut to stop a scream from bursting out.
‘Lena…?’
The hair that always looked ashcolored was light blonde, and the body that was hunched over was straightened, so she thought it might be someone else who resembled her, but Ines knew for sure.
Young Lena. Lena was 5 years older than Ines, so she would now be a woman in her midtwenties. And she said she came to Romfield about a year earlier than Ines.
“I killed the royalty. They said if I only did as told, they would save Jason… Jason, Jason, they…”
The voice of the woman who used to mutter, hitting her head on the dark walls of the prison, seemed to be right next to her.
She was with some man. A tall and skinny man who hid his face by pulling his hat low, trying to conceal his identity with a shabby appearance, but he could not completely hide his noble demeanor.
“Let’s go.”
Susan urged Ines from behind. But Ines left Susan and approached them alone. She got as close as possible, but she couldn’t hear what the two people were saying at all.
What was Lena doing in this secret place? Could it be that she was targeting Prince Carson Raymond? But Carson was still alive when Ines was released.
Because Lena was looking around, Ines bent down and quickly left the tunnel.
“What were those people doing there earlier? Were they coming to Conejo Square like us?”
‘Maybe, they could have been. No, they will surely come this way.’
If there was a royalty to appear in this square today, it was only Carson Raymond. Though she was anxious, Ines could do nothing but bite her nails.
The news had spread from somewhere, and people gradually began to gather in Conejo Square, though not as much as in Lesonia Square.
Just because the royal family did not publicly praise his achievements did not mean they could stop the rumors from spreading among the people. Rumors and stories about Carson were quietly spreading among the citizens of the empire.
Songs praising him and novels related to him were already gaining a lot of popularity. There were also some women who scattered petals on his path as he passed.
‘Nothing will happen.’
Rena was plotting something, but Carson would be safe. Hadn’t the future she had seen told her so?
“Excuse me.”
Then a neat voice came from behind Ines. Turning around, she saw a neatly dressed middleaged woman standing there. She looked like a noble housemaid in appearance and speech. And there was also a cute little girl holding her hand.
About 10 years old?
“Please pass this way.”
Susan made a space for the child to pass between herself and Ines. The child glanced sharply up at Ines before moving forward. Though she was a stranger, it was strangely difficult to take her eyes off her.
But at that moment, something caught Ines’s eye as she watched the child’s receding figure.
The red hair tie from Rena’s hand, worn from being rubbed, sparkling and shining.
It was that very red hair tie made of a special material, well decorated with the child’s black hair.
Suddenly struck with a chilling thought, Ines quickly reached out, but only managed to brush the ends of the child’s hair.
“No!”
Ines shouted loudly, but the child had already blended into the crowd. Soon, a cheer of “Wow” was heard. It was an exclamation that the protagonist of today’s event had appeared.
Ines began to follow where the child had headed, pushing people aside. At the same time, the procession of Prince Carson von Raymond began to appear in the distance.
Even then, Ines could see the bright light rising behind his back, and knew that he was leading.
Glancing around, Ines finally saw the little girl she had been searching for and her maid speaking to a knight on guard duty. Then the child started to cross the square, leading two knights.
Everything became clear.
The only child in Leusonia who could come forward in front of Carson’s approaching procession was his sister. That meant that the child was also a member of the royal family.
“I killed the royalty. Heehee, I killed the royalty.”
The moment she realized that the royalty Lena spoke of was not Carson but his sister, a strange noise came from the opposite side. At this moment, when the royal family had appeared, there was no one in this square who could ride a horse except the procession.
But the surroundings were noisy, and people heard the sound of hooves, but didn’t pay much attention to it.
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…
