Chapter 2: Returning to Ten Years Ago
Looking out the window, I took in the sight of Asella. At fourteen years old, she looked every bit the part of a princess.
She wore an opulent, vintage-style dress, its voluminous skirts billowing elegantly around her.
When the sunlight filtered through the willows, her slender silhouette became visible through the fabric.
Her delicate, clean shoulders extended from her soft neckline, subtly hinting at the form concealed beneath her gown.
Her expression was indifferent as she gazed at the flowers, with just a hint of curiosity glimmering in her eyes.
It was hard to believe that this serene girl could be the same mad villainess who destroyed the world.
...She was undeniably beautiful.
“No. Snap out of it.”
I shook off the absurd thought that this girl might be someone different from the Seventh Emperor of the Empire.
She was the villainess who had killed me countless times. No matter how young or innocent she looked now, I couldn’t afford to let my guard down.
“First things first — I need to assess the situation. I didn’t just go back a month; I went back ten years. Are there any side effects?”
A new line of text in the status window caught my attention.
