"Why did you save me!" Grandpa Keyvano snapped, if he didn't appreciate it. Maybe he had met his wife there.
“Please,” Xerion answered while sobbing.
"Grandfather is my only last hope. Everyone I asked for help refused. So I took Grandpa's soul that had left my body and forced it into my body," Xerion pleaded.
Keyvano's grandfather's hands clenched into fists. He didn't know what to do now, the girl in front of him looked so helpless. Same it seems.
But... this could be acting right?
Keyvano's grandfather leaked the sharply displayed girl. "What's the present for me?" asked Grandpa Keyvano.
"Grandfather can choose between going to heaven, staying in my body until you die. Or returning to your old body, but turning back time when you were 7 years old," Xerion replied.
Grandpa Keyvano nodded with a small smile. "Alright, I'll carry out a mission from you. What's the purpose?" asked Grandpa Keyvano leaking Xerion carefully.
In a prostrate position. Xerion replied, "Grandfather just needs to clear my tainted name, and make my name famous throughout the kingdom."
"Okay, I'll take it. That's all, won't it?" asked Grandpa Keyvano. Then, Xerion nodded. And suddenly. Keyvano's body began to disappear and looked a bit translucent.
"W..what happened to me?" asked Grandpa Keyvano surprised.
Xerion stood up and looked at Keyvano's grandfather with a grateful look. "Grandfather will return to the real world. Next time, our meeting, Grandpa will look younger," Xerion explained with a smile on the corner of his lips.
Tears of joy appeared from the corners of his eyes.
For some reason, a feeling of happiness arose in the recesses of his heart. "See you later," said Grandpa Keyvano.

Tup... .
Now that Xerion's body opened its eyes, the soul within his body was no longer the real Xerion. But the old grandfather who was abandoned by his family.
'Now, I will play my role as Xerion,' thought Keyvano's grandfather who is now called Xerion.

There was another knock on the door, making the eyes that couldn't see it turn to the sound.
"Excuse me miss, I came with the doctor," said Kettie.
Check.... .
Ketty opened the door. Seen, an old man in a royal medical suit entered carrying a suitcase.
"Excuse me miss, I'll check on you," the doctor said as he grabbed Xerion's left hand on the edge of the bed.
Simultaneously, a notification appeared in the air.
"Ding ... active guidance system," the voice of the artificial intelligence or the so-called system.
'Hmmm?' Xerion cleared his throat when he heard that voice. "Who is that?" Xerion asked. Kettie and the doctor furrowed their brows in confusion.
"It's me, Kettie with the doctor-," Kettie didn't have time to answer. Xerion cut off his words first.
"I'm not asking the two of you, but the voice," Xerion explained.
"B..but there's no one else here besides the three of us," Kettie argued.
The doctor just watched without answering or arguing.
"Miss Kettie, it looks like we have to talk privately," said the doctor, inviting Kettie to speak privately.
"Verifying the host ... the wish system will guide you. Make you feel and fantasize, but the system can't let you see for now," said the system floating in the air as a transparent panel.
"What's that?" Xerion asked, furrowing his brows.
"I am the system," replied the system in his trademark tone.
"The system is asked to guide you to become famous and make the dirty name of the owner of this body cleared," the system continued.
Xerion nodded in understanding. Since he came from the future, he must know what a system is. At least, he had read some comics and novels with the Sci-Fi genre or the future genre with the system.
"Alright, please help going forward. Since this body can't see," Xerion begged to look in the direction the system voice appeared.
"Ding...order received," replied the system.
In contrast to Xerion who sat leaning on a hard mattress. Kettie and the doctor talked about Xerion's condition.
"It seems Lady Xerion has a mental breakdown," explained the doctor. Kettie's eyes widened at the doctor's brief words.
"Impossible doc! Lady just suffered a blow to the head. It's impossible to have a mental disorder," argued Kettie disapprovingly.
"Didn't you see for yourself? This is caused by some parts of the brain being shaken causing some damage to the soul of the lady. Especially before hitting her head... you always get emotional, don't you?" obviously the doctor is also concerned.
'I wish, I wish I were rich. I will free the lady from this cursed mansion and make her happy. I can't bear to see it,' the doctor shouted.
'L..lady, because your memory is gone. I'll get you out of this damned place,' Kettie thought, biting her thumb nail."Thank you doc! This is the fee, please don't tell anyone!" said Kettie pleading and gave 5 gold coins that she had worked for over 10 years in the Duke's mansion now.
"B..but miss, this is your salary. I sincerely check the lady," said the doctor with a smile that could make women scream.
Brakk ... .
Kettie immediately knelt down and said, "Thank you, thank you. You are very kind doctor. God bless you."
The doctor was immediately surprised to see Kettie kneeling in front of him. "M..miss, don't kneel. I..I'm sincere, so please don't kneel. I feel bad," said the doctor helping Kettie up.
"Once again I thank you doc!" said Kettie moved, the doctor just smiled at him.
"It's okay miss, I have another job so I can't afford to linger here. I beg you to say goodbye," said the doctor, lifting his suitcase which was lying on the floor of the mansion.
The Kettie smiled, a sign that he agreed to say goodbye to the doctor. Then after that, Kettie went into her Lady's room. And saw that the lady was sleeping.
"Sleep well lady, hopefully tomorrow all the problems that occur today are just a dream. Hope, then with all my might. I will make it happen, even if I have a contract with the devil," said the Kettie stroking the lady's hair and kissing the top of her forehead warmly.
