—

“Again, again, again! You’re just daydreaming!”

Once more, another deafening bout of scolding echoed throughout the principal’s office.

Startled, Sera quickly lifted her head. Glaring red eyes were focused on her.

With a flinch, frightened by those eyes, Sera was about to look away but stopped herself. For a moment, she thought she saw the principal’s face differently.

A bizarre figure with red eyes flickered before her eyes.

Did she see that wrong?

Thinking she might have briefly seen a monstrous figure overlapping, she furrowed her brows.

Perhaps she was only mistaken. But the monster… the principal was still standing there, arms crossed.

“Bel…ze…buth.”

Why she uttered a name she didn’t remember hearing was beyond her.

‘Belzebuth’.

That unfamiliar name flashed through her mind like a bolt of lightning.

“…What did you just say?”

“Me?”

The principal’s tone, unlike before, sounded threatening.

More than just being angry, it felt like there was something deeper, causing Sera to hesitate in her response.

It was at that moment that faint memories began to resurface.

With a splitting headache, a content voice filled with satisfaction rang in her ears.

“Then this is where our contract signing ends, Miss Popo. Now, you’re my siblings’ official tutor.”

Feeling a sharp headache, Sera leaned on the desk to prevent herself from collapsing.

Scenes from the past scrambled through her mind as if being sucked into a dream.

Who could it be? Who was saying this?

In a familiar yet strange setting, the man’s face sitting across from her was obscured by a misty fog.

But before she could get a clear look, a new memory rushed in.

This time, fine white powder was fluttering between her head and the ceiling.

Laughing merrily, two children watched her covered in snow-like white powder from head to toe.

“Heheheheh.”

“You’re a mess~!”

Like the man in the previous memory, the children’s faces also remained unseen.

No matter how hard she tried to remember, the faces wouldn’t come to mind, and the conversation shifted.

“Okay now, Hyung will kiss Sera right?”

“Shh. This is the important part.”

“Your Majesty, are you walking away from me that fast so you won’t have to give up the caramel?”

“If so?”

“Not at all. You’re beautiful tonight, Miss Popo. It’s good to see you here.”

“Thank you. Your Majesty, you’re also beautiful. Today as well.”

“I like you, Your Majesty.”

Scenes of reading a fairy tale book, walking affectionately at night and sharing caramel candy, wrapping arms around someone’s waist and dancing tenderly, confessing during a splendid fireworks display.

Memories whirled rapidly through her mind, each scene imbued with the emotions felt within those memories.

With a trembling heart, Sera smiled blankly as if returning to those cherished moments.

Before she could savor the lingering feelings, the scene changed again.

“Because I like you, Your Majesty. That’s why I kept misunderstanding. If you continue to treat me like this over and over, I’ll just keep expecting that you also feel the same way I do…”

“Miss Popo.”
“I have feelings for you, Miss Popo. I’ve fallen madly in love with you.”
“No, Sera. You haven’t called my name yet. Try it again, without the title this time please.”

“I love you.”

“I love you, too.”

A deep breath filled with vivid emotions, Sera inhaled deeply.

Unable to distinguish whether the pain was in her head or heart, Sera slowly blinked, her blue eyes glimmering.

Tears trickled down her cheeks from the unfocused eyes captivated by memories.

She was convinced that the answer to the mysterious question she felt she had forgotten was right here.

“There’s something else I want to do after all this is over.”

“What is it? Tell me.”

“I want us to go out together. With Their Highnesses Rosé and Ferre. And I also want to boldly go on dates in public…”

Ah. Rosé and Ferre…

They were the names of the younger siblings of the man who came looking for her.

How could she have completely forgotten about the mischievous duo? It was then she remembered that Rosé and Ferre had always been part of her forgotten memories.

In her recollection, Sera now stood facing that man.

Gradually, as if the fog was lifting, the man became visible with his silver hair and amethyst eyes.

It was the person she had seen earlier.

“…He…li.”

His name slipped out like a sigh accompanied by a tearful breath. Forgotten memories of their time together slowly came back to life.

Clad in a robe, she gave him a short kiss along with her last farewell, or rather, a promise.

“I will return.”

Murmuring this, Sera slowly closed her eyes.

The joy of reclaiming her most precious memory, mixed with the regret of possibly not fulfilling her promise to Helios, surged up, warming her throat.

Tears flowed endlessly, turning into a dazzling light that began to envelop her.

At the same time, everything surrounding her seemed to crumble away like a lie.
