Reborn
Riv Katana/ Olivia [FL]
I want to live.
Riv Katana/ Olivia [FL]
I want to survive.
Riv Katana/ Olivia [FL]
I want to escape from Princess Marianne’s sight and live a happy life.
Riv Katana/ Olivia [FL]
I don’t want to die like this. I didn’t want to be killed! I want to be alive and happy!
Riv Katana/ Olivia [FL]
I didn’t want to live like this! I wanted to be happy!
At that moment, red light poured out of the ruby ring in Riv’s hand.
The red light engulfed her completely.
Riv Katana/ Olivia [FL]
What is this?
Riv Katana/ Olivia [FL]
What is happening?
Reaper
Witch, you can make your wish come true through that ring.
Riv Katana/ Olivia [FL]
[Witch?]
Riv Katana/ Olivia [FL]
[Ring?]
Reaper
You can have another chance, but it is temporary.
Riv Katana/ Olivia [FL]
What do you mean?
Reaper
You will survive. But you are destined to die again on this day and at this time.
Riv Katana/ Olivia [FL]
What do you mean by that?
Riv’s soul was sucked into her own body, which was lying dead at that moment. And at that moment, time flew in reverse. Flames reignited around her dead body. Riv struggled fiercely in her flames.
Suddenly, the dungeon was empty. The clock hands in the castle were all turning counter-clockwise.
The sky started turning from night to day without rest. When the went back to half a year ago, the clock stopped turning.
The cold morning air swept into the bedroom. Riv found herself lying like a corpse on a hard bed.
Riv Katana/ Olivia [FL]
Huh?
Riv Katana/ Olivia [FL]
Why am I here?
She was burned to death by Marianne’s maid, Elle.
After that, the reaper appeared and gave her a second chance.
Riv also screamed that she wanted to live and not die such a horrible death.
Riv Katana/ Olivia [FL]
Was it really a dream?
Those moments couldn’t be forgotten.
Riv Katana/ Olivia [FL]
Ugh!!
Riv found a clear burn mark on the back of her left hand.
Riv Katana/ Olivia [FL]
This?
When she opened her fist, she saw a ring emitting a mysterious red light.
Riv Katana/ Olivia [FL]
Is this the heirloom of the Duke that Marianne hated the most? The ring of the Duchess of Sentoren?
Riv Katana/ Olivia [FL]
What is this light?
She grew worried while thinking about it. It would be a big deal if anyone saw this ring.
At that moment, as if she was just imagining it, the red glow of the ring disappeared. The stone on the ring turned black. Her bloody palms were also clean, with no trace of a burn mark present.
Riv Katana/ Olivia [FL]
Huh?
Riv Katana/ Olivia [FL]
How did this happen?
Riv Katana/ Olivia [FL]
If Marianne sees this ring here, she might kill me.
Riv Katana/ Olivia [FL]
What do I do with this?
Riv Katana/ Olivia [FL]
Ah…
No one had touched Riv’s body, because they thought it brought misfortune. Although there were some who criticized her for wearing her mother’s old pendant necklace.
Riv Katana/ Olivia [FL]
They won’t touch my necklace.
Riv Katana/ Olivia [FL]
How do I find a safer place to hide this ring?
The moment Riv said that the Duke’s ring merged with the pendant and became one.
Riv Katana/ Olivia [FL]
Huh?
Riv fiddled with the thick pendant. In the pendant, the ring was unusually hot.
Riv Katana/ Olivia [FL]
How did this happen?
She finally heard a knock on the door.
Riv Katana/ Olivia [FL]
Riv, are you awake? Riv?
Riv Katana/ Olivia [FL]
Coming, just a minute!
Maid Anna
Riv, are you sick?
Riv Katana/ Olivia [FL]
Me? No, why?
Maid Anna
I think you are sweating a lot. Did you see a ghost?
Riv Katana/ Olivia [FL]
It’s nothing like that.
Maid Anna
If you are feeling fine, come on. It’s urgent. Princess Marianne is looking for you.
Riv Katana/ Olivia [FL]
Anna, is this a dream? Didn’t I die?
Maid Anna
What are you talking about, Riv?
Riv Katana/ Olivia [FL]
...
Maid Anna
Let’s go before Princess Marianne gets angry.
Riv Katana/ Olivia [FL]
Wait, wait!
Riv Katana/ Olivia [FL]
Wake up, Riv Katana.
Taking a deep breath, she looked back and belatedly noticed the change in the room.
Riv Katana/ Olivia [FL]
Huh?
The room was much bigger than she remembered, and there was a window at the head of the bed.
Riv went outside and asked Anna.
Riv Katana/ Olivia [FL]
When was Princess Marianne’s wedding?
Maid Anna
Riv? Are you still half asleep? Princess Marianne has not reached the age of marriage yet. What are you talking about?
Riv Katana/ Olivia [FL]
Well, will she be the right age to marry next year?
Maid Anna
There are not many days left for it. What’s wrong, Riv?
Riv travelled back eight months in time.
Which meant that her death was also eight months away from now.
Maid Anna
Don’t be stupid, Riv. Princess Marianne’s marriage doesn’t make any difference in our lives.
Riv Katana/ Olivia [FL]
Anna, I want to leave this palace.
Maid Anna
It’s not just you, Riv. There are many people who want to leave the palace. Why do you ask?
Anna checked the time and grabbed Riv by her sleeve.
Maid Anna
If you are any slower, you’ll hear Princess Marianne’s nagging. Hurry up!
They walked quickly towards Marianne’s powder room. They arrived a few minutes later and took deep breaths.
Riv Katana/ Olivia [FL]
Thanks for taking care of me, Anna.
Maid Anna
It’s just that I will be scolded if I don’t bring Miss Katana.
Riv Katana/ Olivia [FL]
Thank you.
Maid Anna
You are behaving a little weird today, Riv.
Riv Katana/ Olivia [FL]
Because I died and came back to life.
