【Chapter 212】

In case Kail might be cold, I wrapped him up tightly in a blanket.

Though I snuck out secretly, seeing that no one is looking for me, it seems like it’s good that people aren’t interested in me.

I recalled the advice the dwarf had given me before returning to the past.

‘Ten years ago, right after the Monster Wave ended, we were wandering through the North trying to reach the snowy plains, but we were blocked by an ice wall. However, we made a small hole and came out to the snowy plains through that opening.’

He said the hole was about 500 steps to the right from the entrance of the ice wall.

Since it was 500 steps by dwarf standards, it would be less than 250 steps for me.

Outside the castle, a fierce snowstorm was raging.

In just a few months, I would go to the ice cave and my ice abilities would manifest, but all 5-year-old me could do was hold Kail tightly.

With my head down, how long did I walk through the snowstorm?

“…It’s really here, the hole.”

When I bent down and poked my head through, the pure white snowy plains were revealed beyond the small opening.

“This must be the hole the dwarf dug.”

“Meow-“

Then Kail let out a small cry.

Did he realize that place was his hometown?

I crawled through to the snowy plains while still holding Kail in my arms.

While recalling the advice the dwarf had given me afterward.

‘Once you just get to the snowy plains, Lord Kail will grow up safely without any threats. No matter how young he is, the monsters will avoid Lord Kail due to their instinctive fear. Also, by that time we were actively searching for Lord Kail, so if you place him somewhere the guards won’t find him, we will definitely locate him.’

By the way, the dwarves said they had been searching for Kail since 10 years ago.

They had been continuously tracking his magical energy since losing him at Ahili’s Circus, but it took a long time to find him because Kail’s magical energy became dispersed when he suddenly gave me energy.

But this time it wouldn’t take that long.

Currently, Kail had returned to his hometown with his complete magical energy intact.

I carefully walked through the snowy plains, avoiding the guards’ eyes.

The snow in the plains was piled up to my calves, making a thud, thud sound with each step I took.

When I set Kail down in an appropriate spot, he walked through the snow while sniffing around in his kitten form.

“Sniff, sniff sniff…”

His wrinkled nose bridge suddenly smoothed out.

He seemed to have instinctively relaxed his guard.

“Kail. Take care.”

I smiled brightly at the kitten who was moving away while sniffing around.

Then Kail briefly looked back at me.

“Meow-“

Was that to say thank you for saving him?

After making that small cry, he moved his legs that had stopped and headed deeper into the snowy plains.

I quietly watched until he disappeared beyond the horizon.

When I return to reality, our situation will have changed a lot.

He will have forgotten me.

But because I didn’t want to forget him, I kept watching.

I engraved in my mind the image of the Maein who looked much freer than before.

* * *

Flash.

“…Haa, haa…”

I opened my eyes with a start.

After sending Kail away, I had stayed cooped up in my room.

Then I fell asleep, and when I woke up again, my hands had grown larger.

My chubby belly had flattened, and the bed had also grown to match my increased height.

“I’m back…”

The dwarves’ ability was accurate.

They said I would return to the present time after a week, and they really kept to it precisely.

This was my bedroom in the ducal palace.

Looking around, there was a note.

I hurriedly unfolded it-

[Our abilities are not unlimited. So to not forget the count, we record the past time periods each time we turn back time.

Looking at the time records, we learned that Lady Aisha turned back time in the past timeline to save the Maein. Thank you.

If fate allows, we hope to meet again.

PS. We looked into what you said to Asbon, and we are not dwarves.]

“This is…”

It seemed the dwarves from the current timeline had visited my room at some point.

“By the way, did Asbon tell them that?”

I said I was sorry, but he held a grudge.

Anyway, it seemed I had succeeded in bringing Kail back to life.

When I got up and checked the mirror, my eyes that had been purple had turned red.

“…Ha.”

Only then did I let out a long, relieved breath.

It’s good that Kail is safe…

‘But what happened with the war against Doctia?’

As Kail’s matter ended, another question arose, making me slightly anxious, so I hurriedly opened the bedroom door.

Then I made eye contact with Lucas, who happened to be near the corridor.

“…Brother.”

“Dandelion, you’re already awake? Since you’re up, want to have breakfast with your brother? My morning schedule is at 10, so we have time until then…”

“What about the Monster Wave?”

I was so curious that I impatiently blurted out the question.

His eyes, which had been patting my messy hair while he was dressed in a shirt and comfortable pants, suddenly widened.

“…Huh? Out of nowhere?”

“The Monster Wave. Has one happened recently?”

Please let there be none. None.

I was praying earnestly in my heart when surprising words came out of Lucas’s mouth as he shrugged his shoulders.

“What are you talking about? Why would a Monster Wave happen? Forget monsters, not even demons have invaded the North for the past 10 years.”

“…What?”

It felt like my breathing, which had been going smoothly, stopped.

“Demons haven’t invaded the North? For 10 years?”

“Did you eat something wrong? Did you have a weird dream?”

“Why have they been quiet for 10 years? Didn’t Croste investigate all that?”

It seemed the current situation had changed by sending Kail to the snowy plains.

‘I need to find out everything from Lucas.’

When I impatiently grabbed my brother’s collar again, surprised Lucas grabbed my hands and stepped backward.

“T-ten years ago, a Maein suddenly appeared and made the North peaceful. Why are you suddenly pretending not to know? You’ve been humming proudly for the past 10 years about how you saved that Maein yourself.”

My goodness. I was even humming?

“Brother. Then do you know someone named Kail?”

“Kail?”

After hesitating for a moment, he narrowed his eyes.

“That guy Kail isn’t a person, he’s a Maein. Thanks to that guy, the North became peaceful.”

…My goodness.

Not only did Kail survive, but he even changed the situation for the better.

“Kyaaaaaaah-!”

I was so happy that I unconsciously screamed, which not only startled Lucas but also made the maids and guards rush toward us in a panic.

“My Lady! What’s wrong!”

“Miss, what’s the matter!”

“I don’t know either, someone do something about my sister!”

Lucas, who was frightened, and the people who were restless.

Sorry, but I didn’t notice them.

Why?

“I saved Kail-! Kail is alive, aaaaaaaah!”

Because I’m feeling incredibly good right now.

After causing such a commotion.

I grabbed Brother Lucas by the collar and dragged him straight to the bedroom, then roughly figured out how the current situation was unfolding.

First.

Fortunately, the future hadn’t changed much.

Father had easily achieved victory in the war against Doctia just like in the previous past, and granted Sedric an estate in the southern region.

The Sedric of this era was also someone I had rescued by invading Doctia.

‘You remember how Brother Sedric delayed the departure time by three whole hours just to greet you, right?’

From Lucas’s attitude as he grumbled with both worry and dissatisfaction, it seemed Sedric maintained a similar relationship with us siblings as before.

And second.

The Monster Wave had disappeared, and there were no more monster invasions.

I had already heard this from Brother earlier, but it felt gratifying again as it seemed like proof that Kail had grown into a proper Maein in the snowy plains.

Once the invasions disappeared, led by me, the Guide and Nox had been attempting contact with the monsters for several years.

It was because the monsters didn’t attack humans, likely due to Kail’s orders.

However, no one had seen him yet.

“…Wow, amazing.”

After parting with Lucas.

I sat down on the bed and still couldn’t escape from that lingering feeling.

“It’s really fortunate. Except for Kail being alive, the present hasn’t changed much either.”

How fortunate.

“Of course, now I’ll remain strangers with Kail forever…”

Ah.

My excited mood plummeted instantly at the words that slipped out without me realizing.

“…”

When I closed my mouth that had been moving constantly, the silence I hadn’t noticed took control of my surroundings.

The reality hit me belatedly.

Kail was alive, but in exchange, I had been completely forgotten by Kail.

* * *

A few days later.

“Use this as firewood too, and use that as firewood as well.”

Callipus immediately tore up the letters he received from Nox and returned them.

They were all marriage proposals that came for me.

I was sitting in a chair petting Chichichi when I paused and asked.

“…Father, at this rate, won’t I really end up unable to marry and live alone?”

“Live alone. No wait, you can live with me. When Sedric is doing well managing his estate, we can go south and enjoy a vacation.”

“…I’m already living like an unemployed person enjoying a vacation though?”

“Then just live this life enjoying a vacation.”

“That’s a good opinion.”

I readily accepted Father’s opinion.

Since my previous life was a bit intense, I should focus on playing and eating this time.

That’s when it happened.

“Ah, Your Highness. You mustn’t tear that one up.”

Nox, who had been mechanically bringing marriage proposals, was startled and snatched away one letter.

“What’s that about?”

“Something suspicious has been spotted in the snowy plains.”
