At the Wall Tower-4

loosely.

It was quite strange to see Adrian smiling by himself from time to time.

He wasn’t looking at me, but he seemed to have really enjoyed the conversation.

If you think about it, it wasn’t that we were going to be friends.

what is so good However, Adrian’s interest in me was quite unexpected.

I never thought she would react like that to me, given the little time I’ve been with her.

Friends, those were pretty valuable words for something that had been said directly from her mouth.

Even if it’s still unknown whether me and her will get that close.

In many ways, it was clear that Adrian’s attitude was unusual.

-…I just wanted to do it.

I don’t know what Adrian saw in me.

I was just being normal, so this is just the first time I’ve had a personal acquaintance.

If there was a situation where I had to use it, I would use it, and if there was a situation where I had to throw it away, I might give up on the saintess.

My purpose was to kill the Crown Prince, an act of treason.

As we don’t know what the saintess will think of him, we still need to approach with caution.

Besides, there is no chance that the saintess will be caught up in treason and die.

As much as it couldn’t be said to be purely intentional, every time Adrian smiled, it felt strange.

I would have used it mercilessly if it had been a bad relationship, but I laughed bitterly at a situation that was not even that.

“Is Her Highness coming soon?”

“You said you had something to say to Mirazen, right? probably coming soon I said the time a little differently.”

It was funny that the reason for saying the time differently was to talk to me, but

Adrian seemed in a good mood, so he didn’t say anything.

Let’s think about it a little more calmly.

What is the purpose of my coming here? It was none other than to talk to the princess.

I unintentionally increased my schedule for this winter, but in the end, the main purpose was to meet the crown prince through the princess.

He becomes acquainted with the princess, and in the meantime, the prince brings up a subject that appeals to him.

That was the point I was aiming for, and perhaps the flow of conversation that would begin soon.

“By the way, how did you meet Sir Adele?”

By the time I was lost in thought for a long time, my thoughts were scattered at Adrian’s question.

How should I answer the question of how I met Adele?

He tried not to mention Adele in front of her, but it was a little surprising that he kept asking about Adele.

I wouldn’t ask if I was awkward, but it seemed like there was something I didn’t know.

After thinking about it for a while, I talked about things other than the scar on my neck.

We met by chance after getting out of the middle of a ball. If this was a story, there would be no problem.

After a brief nod, Adrian replied with his shoulders drooping.

“It wasn’t even the first time I met him. I was relieved in my heart.”

“I hear Lord Adele has met the saintess. Are you on bad terms?”

“…not bad. Yeah, it’s not bad.”

It was a strange answer, but Adrian didn’t stop there and continued talking.

“However, there are people who are hard to get along with even when you first see them. While there are like-minded people like Mirazen and Sir Taylor, Sir Adele’s mood is hard for me to bear.”

“Are you okay with me?”

“Sir Taylor.”

Adrian blushed at the mischievous question and pursed his lips.

He smiles as he closes his eyes and sees his anger.

At some point, this woman had been simply defined as a saint, but now it seemed necessary to revise that idea a little.

For a saint, the atmosphere wasn’t all that heavy.

On the contrary, there are times when she shows a light and blunt appearance, but if that is her job, isn’t she a woman who shows the grace of a saint?

When the image of Adrian I pictured in my head gradually changed, she corrected her expression and started talking again.

“You can think of it that way. Perhaps Sir Adele doesn’t feel very comfortable with me either, so there are things we don’t like about each other.”

“I see.”

Adele, too, did not express herself when talking about the saintess.

Even if the words that you feel something the moment you see it don’t come close to you, it won’t be a lie as much as what the two people say is the same.

So I didn’t ask any more.

The person I’m waiting for will come soon, so I spend time like that to calm my mind.

How much time had passed, when a moment of silence continued.

An attendant named Yurika spoke out.

“Her Highness the Princess has come to visit. Shall I open the door?”

“Please open it. Don’t forget to tell them that you’ve been waiting.”

Hearing the sound of a servant opening the door, he soon felt the clear sound of shoes approaching.

The owner of the sound was someone I knew well, so I looked quietly in the direction where the woman would soon appear.

“Adrian, I heard someone wants to meet me?”

“Sir Taylor here. He said he had something to say.”

It was one of the few voices left in my memory.

A voice heard sometimes from a bed, sometimes from a scaffold, sometimes from a horse.

As if softly covering a person’s ear, the always enchanting voice belonged to only one person I knew.

When I lifted my lowered head, I saw golden eyes full of doubts.

It was an unfamiliar look to me, looking at someone I was seeing for the first time today.

This is why I hate regression.

I know everything about him, but he doesn’t know anything about me.

However, this was an unavoidable procedure.

It was because whenever he met the princess after he died, he always greeted her.

There was a woman who marveled at the existence of a man in the Wall Tower.

Her name is Miragen de Artein.

To the woman who was my former lover, executioner, and my nemesis.

“Nice to meet you. My name is Robert Taylor.”

That’s the 101st greeting.

#

“He said he wanted to meet me. I didn’t know you knew Adrian.”

“Originally, we should have visited separately, but inevitably this happened. sorry.”

“I don’t have a bad personality enough to be apologized for this. There are things that Adrian sees a little okay with you, so it’s okay not to apologize.”

At the same time, the expression of surprise was evident in the expression of the princess looking at me.

Now that I’ve seen this reaction enough to get sick of it, I’ve got a good insight into how Miragen is seeing me.

The reason why I make such a face is probably because of my rumors.

Rumors… I’m watching to see how long this rumor will spread.

Although they are acting differently, it will take quite a while for what has spread once to disappear.

Adrian left, saying that the two of them should talk, and the princess and I were left alone.

What should I do in this situation?

The easiest way was to come up with a common topic to talk about.

Putting down the teacup, I opened my mouth to Mirajen, who was staring at me.

“Do you think the saintess sees me as okay?”

“Well, yes. If Adrian didn’t like it, he wouldn’t have called it the Wall Tower. Come to think of it, this is the first time I’ve hired a man… isn’t it a strange relationship?”

“It can’t be. He just said he would keep an eye on it a little longer.”

Mirazen, who blinked at those words, stared at me for a moment before muttering.

Adrian must have looked really good- she said, and then pursed her lips.

The first feelings in those eyes became clearer,

It was as if I was trying to figure out if Robert Taylor and I were really the same person.

…really nothing has changed.

After regressing, the best way to confirm that time had gone back was to meet the princess.

As much as I knew her behavior better than anyone else, I could tell from the thoughts on her face that she was meeting me for the first time.

Eyes wide open, and a mouth poking around asking who it is right now.

Even the expression that suppresses the question. Nothing had changed, and my taste buds were a bit bitter.

From the beginning, I recalled the word in my head and adjusted my expression.

I preferred to think that this was the first time I was meeting the princess.

Mirajen looked at me for a moment as if wondering, but then she cleared her throat and opened her mouth.

“So, may I ask what you were trying to say to me?”

“I wanted to tell you about the content of this California meeting.”

His forehead crinkled when he heard the word “Gaju Meeting”. It was natural.

The content discussed at this meeting was the ‘subjugation’ of the South.

As it is an issue decided by my father right now, I’m sure you will feel reluctant in many ways for me to bring up the topic again.

Miragen was not lacking, at least in a political sense.

The eyes, which had been calm until just now, sparkled, and soon pierced my eyes coldly.

It seemed like he was trying to figure out my true intentions, but there was no need to deliberately show my true intentions.

However, it is necessary to make an effort to speak out on this topic seriously.

Correcting her posture, she took out the southern map she was carrying in her arms and spread it out on the table.

“Now, I don’t know what this means.”

It was a hard voice without a high pitch, but there was a faint curiosity mixed in it.

You must be curious about the ‘South’ of Robert Taylor, who lives under the influence of his father’s words.

It might seem like I would affirm subjugation like my father, but that was a completely wrong story.

He said he was making an excuse to approach the crown prince.

Wasn’t the reason why the imperial family rejected the subjugation in the south?

The Emperor, the Crown Prince, and Mirazen.

Because I was thinking negatively about him.

However, the resistance of the nobles was strong, so they had no choice but to order a subjugation.

What the prince and Mirazen were thinking was the exact opposite.

“Do you really think the southern subjugation is right?”

“…Prince Robert Taylor. I am asking what this means.”

Seemingly angry, I looked at Mirazen glaring at me.

Due to her personality, she should have known right away what this map meant.

A map showing only the southern part of the map, and marked with symbols all over the map.

If you noticed that this is a map of the distribution of ‘heterogeneous races’ in the south, wouldn’t there be only one thing I can say about this map?

After looking at Mirazen for a while, he replied slowly.

“Wouldn’t it be correct to say that this is the basis for opposing the subjugation in the south?”

Where did you get this, it was the information that Arwen had saved in the previous episode.

It was because using Mirazen’s friendship to approach the crown prince was the way she had thought of before.

Although he failed to execute it because he was accused of treason.

Maybe I can use it well in this life.

Mirazen’s eyes were still ferocious, but the colored light was slowly dissipating.

The vigilance against me disappears, and only the soft eyes that calculated only gain remain.

Eventually, when the corners of his mouth drew a smile. Mirazen quietly opened her mouth.

“Adrian met a good friend.”

“If so, would you like to listen?”

“Listen. And one more thing, I’ll tell you before we start talking.”

“What is?”

When I asked, Mirazen wiped her face and answered with a sigh.

It was as if a piece of common sense he knew had been broken.

“…that Robert Taylor is a completely different person than the rumors.”

After thinking about how to answer that, he shrugged his shoulders once and replied.

The rumors were not false.

Isn’t that the same as referring to the day before the regression?

However, what Miragen is facing is Robert Taylor, who has gone through a regression. I can’t say that the rumors are necessarily wrong.

“I do not know. The rumors may not necessarily be wrong.”

“It can’t be.”

Mirazen just looked at me with a puzzled expression.

It seemed like he was lying, but of course it didn’t matter.

From the moment she showed interest in this story, I could say that I had accomplished the purpose I brought.

The more I explained the map, the more I could see Mirazen getting absorbed in the story.

What kind of relationship will it be in this life?

Sometimes it was a bad relationship, sometimes it was a lover.

I couldn’t guess what kind of relationship this time it would be.

I just hope, please, that she will remain in the future I envision.

That way, the imperial family of this empire will not be cut off.

After the crown prince’s death, Mirazen had to become the emperor of this empire.

The Wall Tower is the closest place to the moon.

Whenever he touched the moon and felt the wind, Adrian would fall into the illusion that he was looking at the moon with his own eyes.

Of course, it’s just an illusion, and it’s just a simple impression.

The sensation of the cool touch of light sweeping over his body was always new to Adrian.

Because I could only feel the light and darkness.

Adrian felt that tonight was particularly dark.

Still, why is he here? Didn’t a strange attraction bring him and lead him to the top of this wall tower?

Adrian called this sense the voice of God.

A feeling that guides you towards your destiny, but tonight you don’t know what that voice will lead you to.

Could it be that Sir Taylor is even coming here?

Adrian, who laughed at the thought of being funny inside, listened to the clear footsteps in his ears.

…It was the familiar footsteps he had heard today.

When I realized that the owner was Robert Taylor, the wind suddenly blew.

It was a moonlit, cool but fairly gentle breeze.
