Chapter 260
“Well… that’s strange. I thought souls traveled within a single world. I thought maybe your soul might be so unique that it travels to many different worlds. It must be very rare for a soul to go from one world to another. Do you have any idea how that happened?”
Ummm.
I did have an idea, but I still wondered about the relationship between this world and the Otome Game I played in my previous life.
“In my previous life… how should I say this… there is information that was portrayed about this world. Perhaps that was the reason I was sent to this world.”
“Things that depict this world? In your previous life, did you have the ability to peer into other worlds?”
“No, I didn’t. It is just something like a story. I did not know that it was a real other world. It was just an imaginary world that I was enjoying. Nevertheless, it described the magic academy I attended in the Imperial City, and discussed my schoolmates, His Imperial Highness the Prince, and my friend who had the magic of the Spirits. The Yurinova territory was not mentioned in it, but… yes, the being we call Ancient Dragon did make an appearance. There…”
Ekaterina paused and thought for a moment. What she thought in Japanese was automatically converted into Words of a Young Lady
when she uttered it, or rather, she could only speak within that vocabulary. It kept her from saying Old Hag or anything foul out of her mouth. So it was rather difficult for Ekaterina to speak as she did in her previous life.“…Blood Fallen, it was once named after the Demon Dragon King Blood Fallen…”
As soon as Ekaterina said this, Selene’s black horse moved away from her.
The darkness erupted from the black horse, and its outline began to change. In the end, a man appeared at its place.
“…”
Ekaterina was speechless.
I was not surprised that a horse had turned into a human.
His skin was jet black and his hair, which was as long as his height, was a beautiful and silky silvery wave. His eyes were the same shiny silver color. The ancient-looking long robe he wore was all black, with a slight silver pattern on the belt.
When his silver eyes looked at me, it was as if my heart had been clenched by a hand.
Moonlight shone on his silver hair, as if to complement its beauty.
(The Demon Dragon King I saw in my previous life was already an immensely beautiful man, but seeing him in real life was something else!)
Jet-black, otherworldly, yet immensely beautiful.
Goosebumps.
“Did you say Blood Fallen, Yurinova’s young lady?”
The low voice attracted the listener as if under some magnetic spell.
“That is indeed the name of the King of the North. The Dragon King, who rules over all the magical beasts of the land. But how could a mortal like you know that name… you say you knew it from your previous life?”
Ekaterina could not respond. She struggled to hold back the feeling that might cause her to collapse awkwardly.
What… what was this pressure? Even the pressure of the emperor whom she had received at the royal visit was nothing compared to this.
Ah, yes, he was the one who was keeping the maiden of death in this world.
If she refuses to go down to the underworld, then she belongs to him in this world.
The God of Death.
Is this pressure a Divine Majesty?
Selene walked up to the God of Death, and she reached out and gently hugged his shoulder. That loosened the pressure a bit, allowing Ekaterina to exhale.
“Ye, yes. I have known His name in my previous life.”
“…Well answered. You are a strong-minded young lady.”
The God of Death smiled faintly. The beauty of that smile had the power to make you feel faint in a different way.
