As if a lantern was suddenly lit, a curtain of light unfurled before Biare.
Drawn by a murmuring sound, she looked around, seeking its source. In this world, where no other sound seemed to exist, only the whimpering of a child echoed.
Soon, she saw a young child, cheeks flushed red from crying, unable to breathe evenly from the sobs.
Lying in a sickbed, a woman held the child’s hand. The child’s eyes were swollen, and he was shivering uncontrollably, unable to calm down.
Biare, not yet ready to confront these still raw fragments of memory, found her twelve-year-old self tormenting her in this unconscious realm.
“Mother, please don’t leave me. Please.”
“Biare…”
Despite being so weak that she could hardly hold herself up, the woman comforted the child without showing any sign of weariness.
“No! I can use the ‘Eye of Truth,’ can’t I? So please don’t leave me.”
“Hush, my child. Remember, that power will be of great help to you.”
Inheriting elven blood, the woman gazed into her child’s sea-green eyes, which resembled her own, and added with a grave voice, “Biare, use that power when you have someone you must protect.”
With those words, the woman, looking at her child as if trying to memorize every feature, quietly closed her eyes.
The child, too young to comprehend that this conversation would become her mother’s last words, was left in turmoil.
As word spread within the Duke’s household that the lady had witnessed the Duchess’s fate, everyone showed interest in the will, but Biare couldn’t share a word of it with anyone, not even her father or younger brother.
The secret that her sea-green eyes harbored ‘The Eye of Truth’ had to remain hidden from everyone.
‘The Eye of Truth’ was a power capable of transcending time, usable only once in a lifetime. The Duchess had repeatedly warned young Biare about the danger of those coveting this magnificent power.
“Never reveal this power to anyone.”
If she had used the power then, perhaps the entire household wouldn’t have suffered so much pain and anguish.
Biare had agonized over this decision multiple times. Her father and brother, Gaizen, were also deeply afflicted with longing for their mother.
The Duchess had used the power in the past but never revealed to her daughter for whom it was used.
However, Biare now knew who her mother had used it for, and for whom she herself must use it.
The person she had to protect was clearly etched in her mind.
“It’s okay, I’ll protect you now.”
Biare, looking at her reflection in the water with her sea-green eyes, exclaimed, “May the blessing of truth be with you.”
Suddenly, a turquoise flame engulfed her, swirling and then enveloping her vision.
She felt a searing pain in her eyes, suffocating and tightening in her chest.
“Please, just stay alive, Sion.”
‘I will protect you so you can escape death.’
As the flames vanished and darkness engulfed everything, Biare, unable to struggle, lost consciousness.
Waking up to a stinging pain, Biare tried to move her stiff body with great effort.
Only after managing to wiggle her stiff fingers did she feel like she was released from a binding spell.
Feeling a tingling sensation, she thought it must have been a terrible dream.
The moment Biare abruptly sat up, she repeatedly closed and rubbed her eyes.
The pain from being engulfed in flames was so vivid it heightened all her senses to an uncomfortable degree.
‘Am I really back?’
Holding the cufflink she had clutched before using the power of truth, Biare realized this wasn’t a dream.
She hastily rang the bedside bell, and soon a maid knocked and entered.
At first glance, the maid appeared young, but on closer inspection, she was the one who had always assisted Biare with her baths.
‘Clearly, I’ve returned to the past…’
Biare bit her lip, testing the maid’s reactions unknowingly.
The maid, unaware of Biare’s turmoil, was just trying to cater to her needs.
“Miss, the bathwater is ready. Do you prefer any specific bath oil?”
“No, you choose. But, where’s my father?”
“The Duke has gone to the Verdium estate.”
Biare’s heart seemed to drop at this, but she asked nonchalantly, “Oh? What’s the occasion at Verdium estate?”
“Well…”
The maid checked that no one outside could hear, then whispered, “This morning, we received a death notice from the Verdium family.”
“Oh no. What happened?”
“The Duchess was ambushed by bandits while returning from inspecting their territory.”
Biare realized the exact moment ‘The Eye of Truth’ had taken her back to.
“Sion… I mean, was the young Duke also in the carriage?”
“No, my lady. I believe he did not accompany her.”
Biare’s sea-green eyes, which had been shaking, gradually calmed down, though her heart sank.
‘If only I had arrived a bit earlier…’
Regretting unintentionally causing him grief twice, Biare was at a loss for words.
The Duchess of Verdium’s accident had remained an unresolved issue for years, constantly discussed.
The fact that the renowned Verdium knights had been overwhelmed so easily was a matter of disbelief.

Was I nothing but his substitute to you from beginning to end?”
