I Would Like To Live A Different Life If I Could Go Back In Time - Episode 33

“Professor Paron, you were using dream magic on her, weren’t you?”

“Ah, that’s right. Back then, she was still young, but it seemed she had such a painful experience that she wished to die. Did you hear the details from her?”

“I’ve heard the general outline.”

“Under the prince’s orders, she was tormented by men in front of her beloved prince. That has left a deep scar. With the dream magic, she fought monster’s day and night for three years to forget that. It’s no surprise that her magical power is extraordinary.”

“With her magical power, she shouldn’t need to fall into a deep sleep for three days, so I don’t understand why she did.”

Giannino posed a question to Professor Paron.

“Miss Yuria is truly kind. She must be enduring so much every day.”

The emotional wounds have not yet healed. I am trying to suppress them so I don’t remember. I heard from Eme that I used to run around energetically when I was in the territory.

Returning to the royal capital, the wound continues to be irritated.

It seems that I fell asleep unconsciously to protect my heart, triggered by consuming more magic power than usual.

If possible, it would be better to live away from the royal capital, but as long as I am a noble, there’s no choice.

“Oh, so that’s why you said you wanted to go to another country as a magician.”

“Lady Yuria wishes to become a commoner. She is currently trying various things to live on her own.”

“As expected, the prince is in the way.”

“Yeah, don’t get so worked up. I was already out of the running for the engagement due to my illness.”

I’m also concerned about the prince. Well, this time you took Miss Yuria, who collapsed, to the infirmary.

This matter has probably been reported to the royal family. This could be the decisive blow. However, if they were to say they would let go of the kingdom’s top magician… well, that’s another story.

After talking a bit with Professor Paron, Giannino returned to the palace and headed to a certain place.

“Come in.”

The voice coming from the door that was knocked on. Giannino barges into the room.

“Your Highness Randolph, thank you for earlier.”

“Giannino, it’s rare for you to come here. What’s the matter?”

Your Highness will speak.

“I believe the report has come in, but Lady Yuria has collapsed.”

“Ah, I heard. I was thinking of going to visit the count’s family tomorrow because I’m worried.”

“I think it would be better to refrain from that.”

“Why?”

“I don’t know the reason, but it seems he was under mental strain. The doctor has also diagnosed that he needs rest now. Did His Highness say anything in the courtyard?”

“I just said I want to get engaged to Lady Yuria.”

Deliberately, I will speak to His Highness Randolph about the courtyard.

Does he not have any memories of the past?

However, it’s concerning that the prince, who has never shown such attachment to anyone until now, is speaking to her.

“If you faint just from being called to the palace, you are not suitable to be the prince’s fiancée. Even if the prince desires it, other candidates for the fiancée position would not agree.”

In the midst of all this, if His Highness were to head to the Count’s residence, Miss Yuria would be seen as an obstacle by the young ladies who wish to be engaged to His Highness.

You will probably become a target of attacks. If you care about her, wouldn’t it be better to just send a letter?

From my perspective, I want to burn the letter as well.

Prince Randolph has a pale face.

I don’t know if they are reminiscing about the past or imagining the person they desire being attacked.

Well, either way, I won’t allow you to get close to Lady Yuria.

“That’s all for my report. Well then.”

I left the room and returned to my own, disregarding the prince’s expression.

Sighing, I lie down on the couch sofa.

Lady Yuria Osborn, huh?

I am still the chief sorcerer of the royal palace.

Professor Paron is also my magic mentor. When I was a child, I was run over by a carriage and severely injured. It was Professor Paron who treated me at that time.

Since I was the second son of a poor viscount family, I couldn’t usually afford to see a renowned doctor even when I got injured.

The teacher who happened to be there treated me.

Dr. Paron ran a clinic for commoners, but his medical skills were very high, and he was able to achieve recovery.

I was impressed by the healing techniques and started visiting the master, trained in magic, and that’s how I became the chief magician.

I received a direct request from Professor Paron to teach him. To be honest, I was somewhat arrogant, thinking, “Why should I, a royal palace magician, do this?”

Since it was for the nobles anyway, I was called. I even thought, “I can just teach them half-heartedly,” and thought it would be easy.

However, when I met her, I was shocked.

I had heard that the thirteen-year-old young lady had never learned to read or write, yet she possesses knowledge up to the level of a school graduate. Despite being supposed to be secluded in the depths of the estate due to her mental illness, she has a good memory, is calm, and doesn’t throw a single tantrum.

And I’m interested in magic.

My interest suddenly shifted entirely to Lady Yuria.

The way she asks for guidance makes her seem like a real little sister, and it’s quite endearing. I haven’t heard the full story about her time in the territory, but apparently, she used swords and magic to defeat her servants and magical beasts.

The noble lady is slaying magical beasts.

Truly interesting.

When the academy started, I just boredly went through my palace duties. Occasionally, she would write down her thoughts on assignments or methods of constructing magic that she didn’t understand and send them to me.

Unlike my thoughts, her ideas are interesting.

The way she thinks, which doesn’t make her seem her age, was incredibly refreshing to me. “I want to discuss magic with her more,” my desire only deepens.

In the midst of all this, an urgent message from her arrived.

They say a magical beast appeared in the palace courtyard.
