Chapter 116.1

In an instant, silence fell over the room, as if time had stopped. The silence was broken when Raynard placed the mug loudly on the table.

“But was it successful?”

He asked the question Yurina wanted to ask. Dave shook his head.

“If they had succeeded, they would not have been caught and executed. Still, since that situation was discovered, Emperor Conrad, thinking that the warlocks could use magic to turn back time, arrested and executed them all.”

“But is it really possible to turn back time with the help of black magic?”

In response to Yurina’s somewhat hasty question, Dave shook his head again.

“I don’t know that. The lady asked me, so I told you that there was just such an incident. Actually, I think it’s impossible.”

He clearly explained why magic to turn back time was impossible. It was a convincing story even for Yurina, who hadn’t studied magic in depth.

However, while hearing that, Yurina had the exact opposite thought.

Warlock, black magic, turn back time…

Marquis De Flon, who is presumed to be a warlock and knows the future.

All the puzzles seemed to fit together.

‘Marquis De Flon turned back time.’

That was the only way to explain the whole story.

The twins, who were already excited by the news that Lydia and Karion were coming, came home earlier than usual and bombarded Yurina with questions.

Yurina tried to calm them down, saying that nothing happened, but the two of them couldn’t stop talking.

Exhausted from dealing with them, Yurina went up to the room without having dinner. It was because she was completely distraught, and listening to the nagging of the two of them even during dinnertime made her feel sick.

However, the twins gave up dinner and tried to follow her, so they had Betsy locked the door.

Fortunately, Edwin and Justin knocked a little, put a note through the crack in the door saying that they were sorry for making a fuss, and went back.

Yurina smiled as she looked at the note written by her two older brothers with barely legible handwriting. It was funny, and the displeased faces of the two older brothers flashed before her eyes.

After briefly changing her mood with a note from her brothers, she collapsed on the sofa helplessly. It reminded her of Reynard’s stern face earlier in the lab.

‘It must be disturbing.’

After listening to Karion and Dave’s shocking stories, Yurina didn’t get a chance to properly talk to Reynard in private. This happened because the twins broke into Dave’s lab as soon as they got home. So she had no time of telling him what she had conceived of, nor of her expression, nor of her being burned to the core, nor of soothing him.

Reynard was nervous and wary of Karion, worried that Yurina might be leaving him just by saying that she originally tried to find and support Karion, not him.

However, it was ‘Yurina Carthia’ who supported Karion and Karion liked ‘her’.

It was painful because she couldn’t even imagine what Reynard was feeling right now.

“Milady, is everything okay? You didn’t eat. Shall I bring you a light snack?”

As Yurina let out a disappointed sigh, Betsy approached and told the other maids to prepare bath water.

“Yes, I’d like you to bring me some warm soup with bread.”

In fact, thoughts killed all appetite, but she thought that she could be so distracted.

After eating Betsy’s prepared dinner and bathing in warm water, Yurina went to bed earlier than usual. At Yurina’s request, Betsy brought her a cup of hot tea, which was good for a good night’s sleep. She carefully covered Yurina’s body with a blanket and left the room.

Yurina got out of bed after confirming that Betsy had left, grabbed tea from the bedside table and headed to the living room next to the bedroom.

‘Karion and Yurina…’

She organized her thoughts based on the stories she had heard from Karion and Dave.

Her assumption was this:

‘The original work I read was a regression novel.’

And Karion saw in his dream not the future, but the past, which happened before Marquis De Flon returned in time. That is, he saw the past before the beginning of the original novel.

The reason Marquis De Flon was captured in his sleep but not executed is probably because he turned back time through black magic a moment before he was executed.

Yurina was a little puzzled as to exactly how Karion could see the past-future, but considering that he was Blessed, it made sense.

‘For the same reason, only Blessed Ray was able to guess that the incident at the tournament was the work of a warlock.’

Since time was turned back with black magic, even if no one else remembers anything, Karion, as Blessed, could receive a vision.

Yurina felt sorry that even though she had read that novel, she still didn’t know that Marquis De Flon had gone back in time.

The content of that novel was told from the perspective of the main character, Lydia De Flon. If Lydia went back in time, then Senna would immediately understand this. But now, if Marquis De Flon returned, and if Lydia didn’t know about this fact, of course, this wouldn’t be narrated in the book.

At least in the ending, everything would have been revealed and ended, but before she became possessed by Yurina, Senna saw the death of ‘Yurina Carthia’ in the original work and lost interest, so she closed the book without looking at the ending.

So Yurina couldn’t even imagine before that that novel was actually built on the return to the past of the father of the main character, Marquis De Flon.

However, if we add the assumption that Marquis De Flon has returned, all unanswered questions and doubts were resolved in an instant.
