It was the end of March, when spring was fast approaching.
Little Haines, who finished serving tea, was standing in the corridor of the Imperial Palace.
“Heh heh.”
Today was the day I decided to play all day with my handsome Uncle François.
The child took his uncle’s hand and looked around while he was talking with the other nobles.
François was very busy these days, but he never left Herritt at the marquis.
The people there are friendly too, which is nice.
The young marquis increased the number of servants by two, fearing that the boy accompanying him would be tired, and he carried his own toys in his pocket instead of dangerous magic stones.
Five additional cushions were added to the carriage.
“Yes, the snow has melted a lot. Excavation will be possible from next week.”
“Fortunately, the! I’ll pass it on to your Majesty. Test operation is already in progress in other regions, so if you schedule the northern part at the last minute…”
François continued to speak with his eyes shining. Herit liked him.

Of course, my favorite person in the world is my dad, and then Prince Jesse, but I really liked my uncle too.
He was a great polo player and a great cook.
For Herrit, he was more dazzling than a musical actor.
After leaving the palace, I decided to eat delicious food with my uncle and learn how to ride a pony.
After giving names to the geese of the Marquis, he planned to explore the attic.
My heart was already beating fast. Aunt Kristel would have plenty to brag about.
– Hee hee hee hee!
“Woah, woah!”
“Knight, you are riding horses in the Imperial Palace!”
“This is an urgent letter!”
Then, it was noisy outside. Herrit opened her eyes and raised her claws.
The child had exceptionally good hearing.
François and the nobleman also stopped talking and looked through the window.
Shock crossed the faces of the two adults. The kid tilted his head, not knowing what that meant.
Meanwhile, the commotion outside has moved into the interior.
Suddenly the whole world seemed to be moving too busy.
– Clap, Clap, Clap!
“This is an obituary to His Majesty!”
“Everyone get out of the way!”
The knights in armor that appeared at the end of the hallway were running towards this side.
Herrit was startled and hid behind François. Aunt Elizabeth was like that.
In the Imperial Palace, no matter what happens, you must not run…
He said that it would be okay only when the Emperor Hana, the Cardinal Hana, the Crown Prince, and the Prince were by their side.
But now they were running at full speed.
Black flags were hung on their backs, and their faces were all pale.
It was strange. What is ‘obituary’?
“it’s okay.”
The Marquis whispered while stroking Herrit’s hair. The child looked up at him.
The man’s profile was more serious than ever.
– Clap, clap, clap!
“Hurry up! This is an urgent message to His Majesty!”
“Who is it?”
He calmly called the knight running behind him.
The woman saw him and immediately stopped.
François Duheme was the head of the Emperor’s Majesty, and a noble nobleman with the blood of the imperial family.
He was also a person who needed to know about the current situation as soon as possible.
The knight opened his mouth with a breath.
The frown on his forehead and the trembling of his voice showed sorrow.
“Jesse, Prince Jesse Penetian…”
crumble! François immediately covered Herrit’s ears with both hands.
The child raised his head in surprise, but his uncle did not show his expression.
The face of the servant of the Imperial Palace was reflected in the half-obscured view.
Everyone who came and went turned blue.
He covered his mouth, slumped down, and opened his chin to say something.
The child slowly read the lips of adults.
‘Nonsense······. no!’
‘A prince? What happened to him?’
‘Oh my God! How could this happen!’
“Little b*tch.”
flash! François held the child up.
The hallway quickly filled with an ominous murmur.
Herit looked at his uncle with dizzy eyes.
He smiled hard and kissed the little forehead.
Dodak-im was warm, but the child felt an emergency at the touch of an adult.
“I’m sorry. Today, it would be better to go back to the marquis first.”
“ah······.”
“Come on, take the master with you. Could you tell Maria to stay with you? I do not wait.”
“Yes, Master.”
The servant bowed deeply and received the herit.
As soon as the child hugged his neck, the old man hurriedly left the hallway.
He even covered his ears with clothes and towels so that the boy could not hear.
But the passage was already a sea of tears.
A piercing cry pierced Herit’s eardrums.
Some adults fell to the floor. The child hurriedly buried his head.
Even my grandfather who was holding me had trouble breathing.
My hands trembled. Now I was really scared.
“eww······.”
This memory, the child already had. There was only one scene, but it was clear in my mind.
Villagers weeping in front of stretchers that were rolled up. Dad, who hurriedly left the seat holding himself.
It felt like the cheeks facing each other were getting wet.
Herrit hasn’t seen her mother since that day.
– Clap!
“······no!”
“Aurelie!”
Shake! Before turning the corner of the hallway, a ripping scream was heard in the distance.
There was also the sound of a bowl breaking. What followed was clearly the voice of His Majesty.
As if that was a signal, the workers hurriedly moved in the direction of the tea room.
Herrit struggled to push the bad thoughts out of his head. But it was too difficult.
I haven’t learned this yet.
“Hurry up!”
In the meantime, the servant grandfather moved quickly and climbed into the marquis’ wagon.
‘This! hot!’ Soon, a large wheel rolled on the floor.
Herit looked out the window in fear.
aaa A stormy wind shook the trees.
The spring buds that had sprouted up in green were torn off helplessly and fell off.
Dark clouds were rolling in from the other side of the sky. The child tightly closed his eyes.
The prince’s face gleamed against the black and red background.
Then the sad tears fell.
“Black, uh, uh, uh…”
“Oh, my lord.”
– Rumble!
Thunder thundered in the ecliptic sky.
Suddenly, raindrops as sharp as a knife began to scratch the window.

“…is this the end?”
I put my phone down with a complicated face. Black text crawled across the white screen.
I don’t even know what I’m feeling right now. It just flowed out of breath.
“…and I couldn’t finish a word.
It was a moonless day.”
＜I retired and a princess from another world> latest episode. Prince Jesse Penetian is dead.
But this had nothing to do with what I was going through.
He plunged into the war between the Lister Empire and the Penetian Empire, where he risked his life to protect Prince Cedric.
At the last moment, I thought of Kristel and my brother. That was it. The original hasn’t changed at all.
I skimmed the first episode just in case, but Ga-in, who had just possessed her, was in a situation where she had to get engaged because of ‘Changhae’s blessing’.
The Duke and Duchess of Sarnez made their daughter awake by wishing for the ‘Sacrament of Wishes’ with blood.
This meant that the original water properties were intact.
It was completely different from the world I lived in from the beginning.
As if my experience was a nightmare. Not making fun of people.
“why······. No, is it correct as it is? Normal should not change at all. is it?”
It was confusing. So what will happen to my year?
It wasn’t a matter of wanting to be recognized for my work (no achievements I made in the first place) or ‘feeling’ to hope for any results.
It was literally a stupid question.
What the hell was that time? Why did I have to go there and stay?
It’s hard to break up with friends like crazy, but if there’s no relationship with the original story, I would-
“under······.”
Large joint for what. In the end, it was me who was constantly beaten by such questions.
I pressed my eyelids together with my palms.
I was so frustrated that I didn’t even have the energy to read any more.
Maybe it was because he didn’t hold each other and drive, so he had more compassion for the prince than for the prince.
I’m sorry for Eunseo, but honestly it was. It seems that the prince had a crush on the prince in his heart…
What did you think when you saw the breath dying out of my arms? how sad and painful
He was a child still bleeding from the wounds of losing his father.
There was no need to lose a friend so cruelly.
either this guy or that guy.
– Ding!
Startle. A notification sounded on the phone.
It’s definitely my thing, but it’s been a long time since I’ve heard such a sound effect, so it was awkward.
I looked at the pop-up message that appeared on the screen. It was from another app.
‘Nakhwa Sword Dance – Closed today. sorry.’
“uh······?”
I widened my eyes. Embarrassed, I didn’t even think to take my phone and left the room.
I saw my brother heading to the front door!
“brother! Are you off today? Are you sick?”
My older brother was serially writing a martial arts novel called ＜Nakhwa Sword Dance> under the pen name ‘Baekgeon’.
Now that I see, it wasn’t me who needed to rest, it was over there.
It was strange from the time I started screaming, but after seeing her sullen appearance within a few dozen minutes, my heart sinks.
So far, there has been no history of absence except for Eunseo graduation and entrance ceremonies.
What’s up?
“It’s not that I’m sick, but I can’t concentrate, so I can’t write.”
“So where are you going? Exercise?”
“No, I’m going to see PD-nim. You came for a meeting, but he said it was near my house. I’ll have a cup of tea and talk to you.”
“okay. If you are coming for lunch, please call me in advance.”
“okay.”
The older brother in thick fleece grabbed the doorknob.
Then he looked at me for a while and took a deep breath. My neck was bent.
I don’t think you’re blaming me. My brother is not like that. what?
“I’m resting.”
“uh.”
– Click!
…and the door closed. I turned around with a strange feeling.
I was so frustrated that I wanted to do this. Would you like a citron tea mug or something to get better after washing?

So it was the next day.
– Rumble, Rumble, Rumble
By the time I got home two days later, I was in earnest.
Apart from worrying about my friends, burning my eyes just thinking about it, and getting desperate every moment…
– This station is Yeoksam and Yeoksam. The door to get off is on the right.
Because I had to go to work.
-Cheek!
“ah.”
He closed the window he was looking at on his phone and lifted his head.
As soon as the door opened, the sensation of being pushed away was a new sensation.
I couldn’t even be alert, so I had to move as I was holding the phone.
The Seoul subway on the way to work as dense as bean sprouts. It’s also line 2.
If you looked away even for a moment, you could not only miss the station you were getting off at, but you could also be ten minutes late.
I walked with my mouth constantly reminding myself of what to do.
First, I check the memo pasted on the monitor, check the new mail, check the contract that I need to review again, and check the company official…
It was fuzzy because it was the last daily life I had digested a year ago.
I kept looking at the past emails until recently, and honestly, one or two were new as if I had seen them for the first time.
It was difficult like this.
I have to live my life here too.
No. Originally this was the only one
“under······.”
I didn’t want to sag in the morning, but a sigh burst out of the danjeon.
match! He lightly hit both cheeks and climbed the stairs.
Let’s work hard, Jesse Jung. that wherever you are If there is nothing special, you should be consistent.
“Hey, this is new too.”
As we climbed up the messy stairway, the intersection of Yeoksam Station, where many vehicles and office workers came and went, unfolded.
It was the first time again that the scenery on the way to work was eerie.
The crisp morning air of March, a large blue building, and a street lamp with outstretched arms like a seagull.
Busy flashing signals and occasional horns.
I smiled and walked towards the office.
It has been a long time since there was a means of transportation other than a wagon or cart.
Although the subway is fast, the portal was much more convenient. I’ve lived in another town before.
“·················ogue.”
The strength in the corners of my lips was released. diligently teased the shoes.
In the morning, I was having dinner with my brother Eunseo and Eunseo, and that thought suddenly crossed my mind.
What if it was just a very vivid dream?
In the meantime, I heard the story from Eun-seo… If it was a fantasy of one night that I created by combining and imagining at will.
So, how should I define everything I feel right now?
Do I have to go to the hospital someday?
“Whoa.”
I quietly tugged on my backpack strap and proceeded.
As his body remembered, he passed a large block and saw a familiar building.
From https://noblemtl.com
On the top of the tall building, the words ‘Seombaek’ were engraved in the size of a large door.
It was the company I worked for.
A mid-sized company known for home appliances, I worked here in the legal team.
-Tump, Todd, Todd…
When I passed the flower bed at the entrance—
-Aong
“uh?”
A cat roared in the grass. I paused and stood in my place.
At that moment, one of the memories that had been pushed away lit up like an incandescent lamp.
How did you forget this Cat family in the company flower bed. little ladies!
“Ramiya?”
– Oh my
ramie. It was a name given to it to cry like an alarm when a close friend passed by.
As I approached cautiously with an overflowing heart, a speckled tricolor cat saw me and walked out.
Jade eyes and tiger-like patterns were the same.
Rami had four cubs that looked exactly like me.
So I called them ‘Little Women’.
Today, I couldn’t see anything that I was hiding behind.
Rami licked her tongue as she smiled broadly because she was happy.
“wait. Uncle…”
I always carry snacks in my front pocket, so wait a minute.
“Rami, why are you like that?”
i was colored The cat was holding one paw vaguely.
“Isn’t it bloody? I’m hurt. Where have you been?”
– Why Woong
He cried as he answered.
Upon closer inspection, there were blood clots on his feet, and there were traces of pressed hair.
He was sure he was sick, so he didn’t touch the ground at all. It was a big deal.
In my mind, I wanted to get the team leader’s consent right away and then take me to the hospital.
He has a cat, and he has a good heart, so he would definitely understand.
But as far as I know, the cubs have just been born.
I don’t think the mother should suddenly empty the area…
“What do you do? Where can I call the center? Or should I call the manager?”
He slowly stretched out his hand. Rami blinked for a long time, but didn’t avoid me.
It seemed very difficult and it was a pity.
“it’s okay. There are many people who help stray cats these days. The team leader also adopted from the street—”
That was then.
-aaa
I immediately stiffened.
The impossible was happening, the impossible and incomprehensible event was taking place.
at my fingertips.
“this. What is this, why is this…”
The hairs all over his body stood upright, and a shiver ran down his back.
Nonsense. No way, no way!
-Sorry!
It was a blue grain of healing ether.
‘Meow.’ The only thing that wasn’t surprised was Rami.
