“The Valley of Dragons.”
An ominous feeling came over her. A powerful magic was converging in the direction of the Valley of Dragons.
“Are the dragons gathering?”
This had never happened before. Something had changed. Guinevere bit her lip in anxiety.
‘Could it be because of William?’
It was an intuition. If the sleeping dragons were waking up and gathering, it had to be related to time regression. Guinevere trusted her instincts.
She teleported back to her laboratory and glared at a golden sphere.
Like her magic that protected her mind, the dragons probably remembered the past too. Among them, there would be dragons annoyed by the repetitive regressions.
If they decided to stop time regression, the simplest method would be to kill William before he could use it.
Then…
‘I have to complete it first.’
As always, every problem ultimately required Guinevere to complete her magic. This time was no different.
“I’ll finish it before William…”
To make the dragons mistakenly attack her, believing she was the cause of time regression, instead of William. Survival was unlikely.
“Ah.”
Guinevere felt her heart flutter for the first time in a long while.
The thought of possibly dying made her think of a face she wanted to see again. A man she knew nothing about except his name.
“Siod.”
Since surpassing human magical power, she hadn’t aged. While people she knew aged and died, Guinevere remained young and healthy.
Her seemingly endless life felt lonely at times. On one such lonely day, she met that man.
‘I’ve never seen a human like you.’
His hair was icy silver, his eyes a cool grey, with a beauty unmatched in the world, and he spoke with an old-fashioned accent.
‘How old are you?’
Guinevere had long forgotten her age. This man too had a strong magical power. Definitely stronger than hers…
‘I don’t know. How old are you?’
‘Secret.’
Perhaps, she thought, this man could share eternal life with her. Impulsively, she spent a night with him.
“Will I see him again?”
Guinevere chuckled softly. She hadn’t expected to find herself longing for the man who had appeared and disappeared so suddenly in her life.
It wasn’t that she had been deeply in love with him. He was a man who had briefly eased her loneliness one day, and in a moment of whim, had given her William through a night of folly.
Now, facing the possibility of her own death, he came to mind. Perhaps that man could protect William and Larisa even after her demise.
But the following thought brought a wry smile to her face.
‘He left, knowing that I was carrying William.’
After William was born, Guinevere had forgotten about Siod. William could live as long as she did if he became a wizard.
‘That’s right. I just didn’t want to be left alone.’
That must have been why she was so obsessed with William’s magical education. The fear of being left alone.
Shaking her head to clear these thoughts, Guinevere refocused.
“Right now, completing the regression magic is the priority.”
And if Larisa survives and properly bonds with William, and if a child is born between them, William would not think of turning back time.
Guinevere knew it. She would never regress to a time before William’s birth. How could she turn back time with no guarantee of his rebirth?
That’s why she had demanded a child as a price from Larisa. After all, the two were bound to fall in love, as they always did in past lives. She hoped that in this life, at least, they would be happy.
Guinevere didn’t want to regress ever again, even in death. She wouldn’t leave her son to die in this life. To ensure that…
“I must complete this…”
She whispered to herself, feeling a strange sense of liberation.
She smiled, knowing that death awaited her too. Whenever it might be, she resolved to give her best so that she would have no regrets.
Completing the time regression magic, ensuring William didn’t fixate on Larisa alone, loving them properly this time, and blessing their future. That was Guinevere’s role to play.
To be a mother, to protect her child, and to carry on the lineage. Who would have thought such ordinary, seemingly insignificant tasks would hold such vital importance in Guinevere’s life?
