How the Regressor Loves the Reincarnated

6. This is a dream anyway.

1.

The front gate of the Isvant family’s mansion, which Adele looked out of the carriage window, was one of the grandest buildings in the capital, Runeria.

Actually, in terms of grandeur, the Ludmeyer family’s mansion, where Adele herself stayed when she came to the island, was not inferior to it in the slightest, but there was no need to decide which family’s mansion was more magnificent.

The status of the duke’s family, the only one in the empire, was already high enough that it would be a pity to waste energy on such trivial pride.

More than anything else, Adele was uncharacteristically nervous. To the point that she almost bit her lower lip without realizing it.

Her younger body through her regression cannot easily harmonize with her relatively older mind. It was a fact that he already knew because it was the second time he experienced regression, and that is why she had prepared her mind to some extent.

When she went through her first regression, because her body suddenly became young for several years, the sense of discord between her mind and body often caused problems. The mental training he had already built up through arduous training had collapsed because of that, so he had to rebuild the tower from scratch.

Given to her, her variable called Luke Isvantra was a mystery. A riddle that must be solved at all costs.

Adele She has become a completely different person from the Luke Istvant she knew, so the advantage of information she enjoyed as a regressor loses its meaning.

The history of the character Luke Isvant has changed, so what’s the use of knowing the ruins he committed, and what can he do if he knows how the Duke of Isvant was ruined under him?

The future Adele knew was nothing more than a superficial thing that she could completely change at any moment with the flap of a tiny butterfly’s wings.

However, everything about a character is different from what he knows. Not even a child in a rural slash-and-burn village, but the heir to the duke’s family.

Inevitably, the future events related to Isvant that she knew were highly likely to go wrong.

In the midst of this, because she acted hastily, she came into an unreasonable position where she had to come into conflict with the character and bow down on her side.

Depending on what result she got from today’s meeting, she might have to revise the plan she had made and had already executed once.

Her everything depended on her. Whether or not she will be able to resolve this situation, which has been twisted since her inception, and obtain her master door, which has equal status with her own family, as her helper.

“Are you okay, lady?”

“Of course, Loggia. I just had something to think about, so there’s no need to worry about me.”

It’s a lie.

But there was no way Loggia could see through it. As much as Loggia knows Adele well. No, more than that, because the opposite was also established. It was easy for Adele to hide her feelings from her loggia.

Because she already had a history of getting caught once in her first regression.

“Okay…”

Adele couldn’t help but smile awkwardly when she saw Loggia’s attitude that she couldn’t believe her at all, but she said she would let her go.

‘Or not…’

As Adele gets out of her carriage, her maid of the house of Isvant, who has been waiting for her, approaches and greets her politely. That too, with a very willing attitude.

Prince Isvant would have had no reason to inform the employees of the reason behind this meeting, so that polite attitude was only natural.

But why do they seem so willing?

Thinking of that, Adele glanced sideways at Loggia, and the corners of her mouth hardened. What caught her eyes was the scene in which Loggia and the maid on the other side seemed to be conversing through glances, and the two shared an inexplicable laugh.

‘Ah.’

Neither the loggia nor the maid of Isvant. She doesn’t know the real reason she visited Istvant Mansion today.

However, a place was created for two men and women of similar age and from families of equal standing to meet privately. It was obvious what thoughts were going through the two maids’ heads.

When Adele, who tried hard to ignore the hot cheeks for no reason, cleared her throat lightly as if asking her to guide her quickly, the smile on Loggia’s lips grew thicker.

The way she glances at her as if she understands her heart. As for Adele, she was on the verge of going crazy and jumping to fix that misunderstanding, but the quick-witted maid of Isvant took the lead, asking her to follow her.

I’ve never even imagined that the romance that the maids are thinking of blossoms between you and that damn Piggy Prince. Thanks to the maids, such a disgusting image was planted in my head for no reason.

‘Ah, at least I’m not the Pig Gongja now…’

Adele recalls that Prince Istvant, who she saw at the prince’s birthday banquet, was showing off a graceful appearance and a dignified atmosphere that anyone could not help but think of as attractive.

It was Adele who tried to push that handsome face out of her head, not knowing even in her dreams that that appearance was further deepening Loggia’s misunderstanding.

‘Why are you being handsome and fussed about for nothing?’

I also didn’t forget to grumble inside.

She wonders if she has arrived in front of the reception room before she realizes it, as the maid knocks on her door lightly.

“Brother Luke, I have a guest.”

“Oh, come in.”

After hearing Prince Isvant’s words, her maid opened the door to her reception room, smiled at Adele, and motioned for Loggia to follow her.

“Then, have a good time, young lady.”

Leaving behind Adele, who had hardened like a stone statue at the words she threw as a joke, Loggia chased after the Isvant family maid.

“…So, when are you planning to come?”

Adele, who had been staring blankly at Loggia’s back as she walked away, was startled by Luke’s words, and her body trembled. Adele, who had promised to say something to Loggia about this, took a deep breath and stepped into her reception room.

“Greetings are fine, so please sit down.”

Luke, who was sitting and waiting first, waved his hand, and the chair across from him was pushed far enough for Adele to sit on. A trick that is possible only because it is a magician. Every time she saw something like that, Adele thought that she was envious of the wizard.

“Thank you.”

Adele sits down on the chair, and this time the kettle automatically pours tea into the cup.

“I’m not crazy.”

Adele flinched at the words Luke uttered without warning. She was fortunate that she hadn’t even touched her car yet. She was obviously in such an embarrassing situation that she looked like she was spitting out tea.

“…Yes?”

“I don’t particularly like learning magic, but I tend to work hard.”

Only then, realizing that Luke is refuting what she said at the prince’s birthday banquet, Adele casts a strange glance at him.

“And I have no idea what will happen in the future. By the way… You know what? About the future.”

Luke, who asked Adele a question with an expressionless face, lightly took a sip of tea and continued his words.

“Lady Ludmeyer, I don’t know what you were thinking when you said that to me that day. However, I can only guess that there is a considerable gap between me now and the me you knew.”

“Right, both questions. I actually returned from the future to the past, and there is a difference that would not be strange even if I was a completely different person between the madman of Isvant I knew and the Prince of Isvant in front of me right now.”

Adele chose to admit it coolly. It was a decision she made impulsively, but right away she didn’t have much of an option given her.

As a result of her independent research, there were rumors that this episode’s Luke Isvant was a genius. So, given that he had already given away so much information from their first meeting with her, it’s no surprise that he wondered, ‘Has Adele Ludmeier really returned to the past?’

“Hmm. To begin with, I’m not the person who returned to the past from the future, as you might have guessed. You also have no idea why I’m different from the Luke Isvant you know.”

‘Actually, I can guess why.’

“I see…”

Watching Luke take another sip of tea, Adele also raises the cup and puts it to her mouth.

She was a savory tea that she had been enjoying for quite a while for her. Because she didn’t have the time to enjoy a leisurely tea time in the midst of a war fought against the demons of Hell, risking the life and death of mankind. Adele let out a light sigh as her tension eased a little at the refreshing sensation and the deep scent that spread from the top of her tongue.

“First of all, I would like to apologize for the rudeness I did to Young master two days ago. I was very anxious about how the future I knew would be twisted due to the variable you are, so I acted hastily, and I ended up committing a big disrespect to Young master.”

In the brief moment of leisure enjoying the taste and aroma of her tea, Adele, who had finished organizing her thoughts to some extent, spoke up.

“I will accept the princess’s apology.”

“Thank you. However…”

Luke throws a puzzled look at Adele’s tail.

“Recalling the atmosphere of our breakup that day, this situation itself makes me a little bit suspicious. Should I say that I am a little embarrassed that the situation went so differently from what I expected.”

I was sincere. No matter how much the situation itself pointed toward the fact that she was a regressor, the fact that Luke sincerely considered the unrealistic phenomenon of regressing her past was a bit strange to Adele. Especially when she thought that he had even called her a ‘crazy b*tch’.

“Because I had time to think deeply. So, while she wanted to contact the princess first, she happened to receive a letter written by her princess. Besides, is there anything more absurd than having that genius female knight from the Ludmeyer family pick on me and talk nonsense?”

“Ah…”

“Rather than that, I have a question.”

“Ah, yes… what are you curious about?”

“Didn’t something like the world perish in the future that the princess knows?”

Luke’s expression hardened when he saw Adele, whose eyes widened in surprise at the half-joking remark she had made. The end of the world, one of the clichés in novels featuring regressors, actually happens?

“…How did you know?”

“Oh.”

After hearing Adele’s confirmed kill, Luke’s eyes seemed to turn yellow.

‘If this is a dream, please wake me up…’
