Chapter 121: Princess Noreen
Arren recalled his daily life, thinking he was an extra. Those were the days that could be considered the most carefree yet reckless period of both of his lives.
He could do anything he wanted. He tried most of the things that he hadn’t experienced in his previous life. Arren felt as though he was truly blessed, and compensated him for all his suffering in his first life and gave him the identity of Arren for his second life.
Even saying he was careless and planned to live his life to the fullest was an understatement.
However, reality soon came knocking on his door, and he became entangled in the storm he was escaping ever since he was eleven years old. Saying he didn’t miss those days was a lie and unrealistic.
Arren sometimes reminisces about his days when he wasn’t worrying about anything else but meeting the characters, which he deemed a plague and a death flag in his life.
He lowered his gaze and then met Spade’s eyes, Arren touched and clasped Spade’s head in his hand. His eyes were instantly filled with warmth as the corners of his eyes heated up.
Arren might have missed those days and continued to treasure them in his heart; however, he never once regretted meeting the man in front of him. His earlier days were filled with the things and sensations he wanted to experience from his previous life. While, Spade... was the one who opened a newfound meaning for his current life, something he didn’t even imagine before.
"For some reason, I’m afraid of Princess Noreen," he started, his voice unusually calm. He thought, he might stutter, but his voice was firmer than before. "I don’t want to tell you this before because I don’t really know why. Even now, I’m still confused about the root of this fear. But... Every time I have a glimpse of her, even in the distance, I can’t help but tremble and want to escape far from her." Arren spoke in a truthful and concise manner.
His eyes dimmed, observing Spade’s reaction even if he was already too nervous to know it.
