Chapitre 12: Those beautiful purple eyes Part 5
I opened my eyes.
The first thing I felt was a terrible feeling of incongruity, as I felt that my body was smaller, and I even lacked a lot of strength.
(A dream?)
That's what I thought, because the last thing I remember is .....
(Lumine was sitting on my lap and then...)
*Punched
I suddenly felt a headache.
(Pain?)
You can't feel pain in a dream....
Knock, knock.
"Come in," I said without thinking, ever since I became queen, something always happened that needed my attention early, and it was a custom to let my people in to report it.
"Young miss, the princess's party is today, the duke sent me to let you know," the maid said as soon as she entered.
(Duke? Party?)
I forced myself to think and carefully analyzed my surroundings.
(Marie is young)
Marie, the maid who takes care of my personal needs and who was specially raised to serve me, was too young, in my last moments I was in my late 30s, so she, who is 7 years older than me, can't possibly look like a teenager.
I looked around me carefully, starting with my bed.
My bed from when I was in the Duchy, even the room where I spent all of my childhood, part of my adolescence, and which I left when I was crowned Queen.
In the end, I came to a strange conclusion.
(I... came back?)
--
After returning from the party, where I met the boy with the purple eyes who had attracted my attention so much, I had to accept him.
(I'm back, 20 years...)
It was completely illogical, but I had to accept it, especially if there was a chance to save the world where my daughter and her children will live.
(Let's see, what do I have to prioritize...)
-Saving Kylo.
-Saving his reputation.
-My daughter (Priority)
-Convince Elara to don't stupid things (optional)
-Threaten the Saint (Priority).
These were the most important things I had to focus on in this life, especially my daughter, because not only was she my daughter, but her talent was even greater than mine.
(If only we had at least 5 years...)
If there was enough time, Lumine, my daughter, would become the nightmare of the Zergs, but unfortunately there was no time.
Kylo, it is necessary, I even think I should kidnap him and imprison him, but I know very well the consequences of that.
Convincing Elara is completely optional, since I can save her and, in the worst case, forcibly imprison her, so there is not much to say.
As for the Saint... it's necessary to threaten her for using Kylo's death as a promotion to make Adam the hero of the Church of Light.
It is not complicated.
(I have to be discreet and not make any sudden changes...).
Why?, well, this world has what is called cause and effect.
The law of cause and effect, also known as the law of causality, is a philosophical principle that states that every event has a cause that precedes it and, in turn, produces an effect that follows it.
In other words, every event has a reason or condition that causes it, and that cause triggers a consequence. This law is fundamental to understanding the order and logic of the world around us.
The idea of abruptly changing the past is often dangerous because of the implications of the law of cause and effect. If a person were to decide to alter significant past events, a number of unforeseen and potentially disastrous consequences could result.
In addition, not only could some events be strongly influenced by my actions, but I also risked fundamental forces intervening, or worse... temporal entropy.
Temporal Entropy: There is a notion that the flow of time tends toward a "natural" equilibrium or timeline. Any attempt to abruptly change the past could provoke a temporal entropy reaction, where time itself tries to correct the disturbance, which could lead to a major catastrophe.
Officially, it's a theory, but as you get stronger, you start to vaguely sense certain things, like when you reach the 9-star rank, you come in contact with destiny.
It doesn't matter if you're a mage or a knight, fate will test you to see if you're worthy of advancing to that level.
Finally, when you reach the 10-Star level, you can vaguely feel the destiny of the people around you.
It's not a very strong feeling, but with your intuition, you'll be able to vaguely predict the death of the person you're watching.
That's why I cast the Eternal Comfort spell, because I could feel that everyone around me was very close to death.
Even my daughter.
Underestimating time and especially fate is the worst thing you can do, because the impossible rarely exists in the world, even if that impossible is something worse than the Zergs.
Unfortunately, I was not the only one to return, and the consequences of their actions, their blatant interference with the preconceived, hit them squarely in the face.
And me, in my pride.
--
Failure.
Kylo had died a month earlier.
"Haaaaaaaa" I sighed deeply, for the anger I felt was so great.
Since the beginning of this second life, the emotions of frustration and anger were the most recurring in my being.
Valeria Steele, Anabel Stromcrest, Lucianna Caelis, Elara?, Sarina Eldoria... among others.
They were the ones I confirmed as people who probably came back like me.
How did I know?
Simple, a person's personality is based on their experiences.
Personality is a set of emotional, cognitive, and behavioral traits that define the way a person thinks, feels, and acts.
So all I had to do was remember their personalities the last time I saw them and compare them to now.
It was easy to see why some people did not hide their feelings well, especially Valeria and Anabel, both of whom I could sense had a dislike for me.
As for Elara, she avoided Adam completely, as if she was afraid of falling in love with him again.
(It starts already)
I took numerous countermeasures as soon as I realized that there were people with the same condition as mine, from spies to secret backguards for some people I considered key.
Their failure confirmed to me that the law of cause and effect is already making drastic changes in the events I remember.
Could it be a butterfly effect or the dreaded temporal entropy?
The former would be ideal, since I've already secured the birth of my daughter and a few other things, but if it's the latter... ....
(I should leave the Academy)
Kylo's death happened in the first year of 4 at the Academy, his presence is the reason I attended that place, so continuing to attend was a waste of time.
I need to regain my strength in case something worse happens to this world, and in case the Zergs come. ....
I'm sorry, daughter, but I will take your blood regularly for the sake of your future.
--
As time went by, I noticed that many things changed, the vast majority of which "benefited" the already proclaimed hero, but a few began to become a nuisance.
"Since you don't want to study, you should get married," I heard the voice of an annoying person entering my room as if it belonged to him.
It was my older brother, yes, I had one in my previous life, but he wasn't annoying, or rather .....
He didn't live long enough to become a nuisance.
I didn't say anything, I just increased my aura, which scared him, and he fled like a coward.
Unfortunately, this little demonstration of my aura did not stop this useless guy from bothering me, because hours later, my father came to me with the same question.
"Luna, when are you getting married, do you have a favorite, maybe?", his tone was not very serious, because my father, unlike my brother, was very intelligent and knew very well that it was stupid to antagonize me.
He also loved me very much.
(There's no point in hiding it if he's not going to die...)
I thought and said something that completely froze my father.
"I'm 3 months pregnant father," I said in a monotone.
"WHAT DID YOU SAY?", "No, tell me whose," my father shouted in surprise and anger, but he calmed down immediately.
He knows very well that the person I chose was not just anyone, and in a way he is right.
"Stromcrest," I just said.
"Kylo... he... died," he said, well, Kylo's death had not yet been announced to the world, part of the Saint's machinations.
The fact that he knew meant that he had contacts hidden in the Church or the Academy.
"But he had a fiancée, didn't he, you know that to Celestia..." my father suddenly remembered the situation of Valeria and Kylo's engagement.
I simply handed him a magical recording stone, courtesy of my trusted spies.
The look on his face when he saw it was incredible, well, they showed the saint and the hero in some very racy scenes.
"..."
"Contact her and tell her not to say anything about Kylo," I told my father what to do with the recording, if he got anything else, it would depend on his ability.
He just walked away, with a rather interesting smile, maybe he found a way to get a lot out of it, which I didn't mind.
(You killed him pretty fast, so... don't blame me for that).
I thought as I held another crystal in my hand.
"Come," I said to the "air".
And when I realized, a woman in a completely black suit and mask was standing in front of me.
"Master", this woman was one of the most trusted people I had at my disposal, even in my other life, she was my most trusted "bird".
"Release this on the black market, let it spread as much as possible," I handed her the crystal.
"I understand," she said as she jumped out of the window.
This recording had scenes of the recently "widowed" Valeria Steele with the hero, scenes that were sure to sell very well.
As the crystals spread, the hero and company felt the consequences of their actions for the first time.
