Yes, of course I believe you.

Then please cancel my coming-of-age ceremony. Those people are not needed.

Carynne, your relatives they will be of great help to you in the future.

They havent been of any help so far.

The fief lord was at a loss for words. Carynne stared intently at him. In truth, he did not believehe only thought he did. Deep wrinkles formed on the fief lords face.

Then first, Ill write a letter to Dullan and tell him were postponing things for a while. But I cant stop him from coming here this time. Since Dullan is the next fief lord, he has a lot to learn from me.

Please postpone everything. And I dont want to see Dullans face.

But he still must come here. Even if its not to marry you.

Then I want to go somewhere else in the meantime.

Carynne!

The fief lord called out to Carynne urgently.

Carynne realized that she was pushing her father too hard on the first day. For now, at least the engagement with Dullan would not push through.

Fine. But I wont get engaged to Dullan, and I wont attend the coming-of-age ceremony.

Carynne, Ive already told your relatives. You need to attend

Father, Ive died countless times now.

Carynne emphasized slowly again. The fief lord, who had said he believed with his own mouth, would have to pretend to believe this too.

And those relatives havent been of any help or influence. I want to live more genuinely now.

The fief lord could not win against Carynne.

Carynne now knew how to deal with the fief lord. In fact, it hadnt been long since she could openly discuss such deep matters with him.

After she accepted that the fief lord was her real father and opened up to him about killing someone, she had learned how to handle him.

The fief lord, ultimately, was a man who couldnt resist his child and would give in when pushed.

Milord truly does love you, Milady.

Yes, well, thats likely.

Carynne replied, and Nancy chided her.

Hes been preparing a big birthday celebration for you with Lord Dullan there because he loves you. Hell be very upset.

Nancy, Nancy. First of all, even holding a birthday banquet is too much for our household. And Dullan is just the worst choice.

As Nancy re-braided Carynnes hair, she asked,

I know Lord Dullan is a bit off. But still, he helped you find stability.

What might?

Have you cleaned the fireplace yet?

Im not quite sure what you are talking about.

Nancy asked in confusion, but Carynne spoke slowly again.

Theres something that I chucked into the fireplaceif theres still anything left of it there, you can have it.

What did you put in there?

A gold coin.

What? Why would you Milady, His Lordship isnt that wealthy.

Nancys eyes widened in surprise. Carynne laughed at her expression and then spoke slowly.

You said you dont believe me, but in fact, I had a coin as evidence before I died. A small gold coin if I hold it in my hand and die, I come back to life with it. So, I had always engraved the number of times I died and came back on it.

But now its unnecessary. The proof isnt the coin, not just a single object. Now, Ill wait for Sir Raymond, my male protagonist.

Carynne thought to herself as she felt the wind. But when Nancy didnt respond, she looked back at her.

Whats wrong?

Um So, thats important to you, right?

It was But its no longer important now. Why do you look so serious?

Nancy looked at her hands without looking at Carynne, her face complicated.

Actually, Milady I dont know if I should say this, but a letter arrived from Lord Dullan recently.

For me?

No, for me. And he asked if you have a coin with numbers engraved on it in your possession. But I dont know Milady, have you really come back to life? I honestly cant believe it. But

Fear flickered on Nancys face.

And Carynne recognized that expression.

It was the emotion she always felt when looking in the mirror.

The fear of the unknown.

* * *

What exactly were Dullans intentions?

What did he want? Carynne couldnt understand Dullan and, frankly, she didnt want to.

What he wanted wasnt within Carynnes realm of understanding. He didnt desire gold or jewels, and marriage with Carynne wasnt the answer either.

Nevertheless, he was deeply entangled in Carynnes past, present, and future.

Right, she remembered. In a previous life, Dullan had asked Nancy about the coin, too.
