You know, I told you that humans can’t use magic. William, who was about to say that, stopped abruptly. In the dream, Guinevere seemed unaware that William was a dragon-blooded.
“Professor hasn’t told you yet?”
“Professor?”
“Professor Siod. Have you not been told by him?”
Guinevere released William’s arms and slowly stepped back.
“How do you know him?”
It was a cold voice. William realized that something was wrong. Guinevere bit her lip.
“Siod, did he come looking for you?”
“Mother?”
“Why now? What did he say?”
“What?”
“Did he find you and say something?”
“Why would he…?”
“No, tell me now. Where is he?”
She seemed ready to kill if she found him. William swallowed hard. Even knowing it was a dream, his mother was terrifying.
“Mother, wait, calm down…”
“Alright. He came to find you that day, didn’t he?”
“That day?”
“Yes. The day you first met that girl, Lara.”
William couldn’t understand what Guinevere was talking about. Guinevere muttered with conviction.
“You came looking for me after realizing you had turned back time.”
…What?
William momentarily doubted what he heard.
“Wait, what did you say?”
“William, you…”
In the moment Guinevere tried to say more, William felt the world distort. Desperately, William shouted,
“Mother…!”
And then he woke up from the dream. William gasped for breath and then washed his face with cold water.
‘Turned back time?’
A dream is just a dream. However, the dream left him uneasy, perhaps because he heard such absurd things. At the same time, the words Guinevere once said echoed in his mind.
“You will fall in love with this girl. Even if I try to stop you, you won’t listen. You won’t even let death separate you. If death tries to take her away, you’ll give up your heart, even if it means turning back time…”
The words his mother spoke on the day of Marina’s funeral. On that day, Guinevere seemed exhausted to the point of being unable to use teleportation magic.
Tired and considering the words muttered in the dream before falling asleep as nothing significant, William didn’t pay much attention. However, knowing that his mother had never lied even once made him uneasy.
“You came looking for me after realizing you had turned back time.”
That statement suddenly felt like it was squeezing William’s breath. William, feeling the pre-dawn wind, hurriedly went to his mother’s research lab without much thought.
Knocking on the door in haste, it didn’t take long for Guinevere to open it. Seeing her son’s expression, she stiffened at the sight of him in his pajamas.
“What’s the matter?”
“…….”
“William?”
With a pale and frozen face, William bit his lip.
“I… Did I…”
After taking a deep breath, William looked directly at Guinevere and asked,
“Did I turn back time?”
Even though she offered warm tea and had him sit in a comfortable chair, William remained silent. His expressionless face seemed to insist on an answer, causing Guinevere to bite her lip.
It was an unexpected situation. However, William’s expression when he asked if he had turned back time was a face filled with certainty. After a moment of silence, Guinevere, in contemplation, finally spoke.
“… How did you know?”
“I had a dream.”
“A dream?”
Putting down the teacup he held, William said,
“Not entirely sure, but every time I heard Professor’s prophecy, I had this dream. At first, I thought it was just a random dream. In the dream, I was an adult…”
Guinevere calmly listened to William’s words, hastily spilled in a disorderly manner.
“The first dream was about Larisa asking me to take her out of the glass container, and the second dream was with Larisa on a hill. When I went there the day before yesterday, I found out that the hill really exists. It was a place I had never been to before…”
“…”
“And now, I had the third dream.”
William paused for a moment. Drinking the now-cold tea in one go, he sighed heavily and continued,
“In the dream, my mother told me that I turned back time.”
Guinevere lowered her long eyelashes and fell into deep thought. William had never recalled the past during the time they spent together. The only thing that had changed was meeting Siod and hearing the prophecy of the dragon.
If that was the case, the more William learned the dragon’s prophecy, the more he might remember a tragic past. Guinevere bit her lip.
“William, I can’t reveal everything right now. But… yes, it’s true that you turned back time.”
“Ha.”
“You have to learn the prophecy. Every time you have such a dream, come and talk to me. From what I’ve heard, there seems to be a difference between your dreams and the actual past.”
“What kind of difference?”
