Life as a Tower Maid: Locked up with the Prince - Chapter 287
Chapter 287
Translator: Yonnee
—
The times when I relied on the conveniences of civilization like the internet and cell phones now felt strangely unfamiliar.
“Jung-in.”
“Yes?”
Suddenly, Albert called out, and when I turned my head, I saw him with his eyebrows furrowed.
“As long as I keep my promise, don’t forget that you must keep yours too.”
His actions, as he brushed back his hair with one hand, was like a still cut from a movie, making it hard to look away.
His eyelashes fluttered like butterflies.
The man I loved was always beautiful.
…But for him to bring up the promise I made at a time like this.
It seems that my previous statement about being embarrassed to show him all of my past was still on his mind.
“Albert, you should just watch quietly.”
If you meddle with the time here, everything becomes too complicated. At my words, Albert silently nodded.
We concentrated and closed our eyes.

Sucked into the shining magic circle, we crossed dimensions in an instant and arrived in my world.
Like the first time we had transcended time, we were in the sky of the dimension we had moved to.
The cloudless, clear sky was so blue it felt almost within reach.
I worried about encountering an airplane in the sky, but it seemed there was no danger of that.
Using magic to conceal ourselves, we began our descent to the ground.
Albert’s gray hair fluttered, and Blanc’s silver hair scattered in the air.
Alexander’s blue hair blended with the sky. It felt surreal to be here with them.
“It doesn’t seem all that different yet.”
As Albert murmured, buildings slowly began to reveal themselves. Along with them came a barrage of noise that assaulted my ears.
Cars hustled through the forest of angular buildings.
Trains and subways moved forward with a loud noise, and the sound of people talking pounded my eardrums.
The city was somewhat bland yet incredibly splendid, filling my vision.
With his mouth agape, Albert had the face of a boy seeing an airplane for the first time.
Blanc and Alexander seemed to feel the same way.
“Wow…”
“What is this, really?”
At the voice close to astonishment, a sense of pride about my world welled up within me.
Yes, the previous world, which was a mix of the middle ages and modern times, was fundamentally different from the present.
I smiled and opened my mouth.
“Welcome to the world I came from.”
Welcome, this is your first time in the modern world, isn’t it?
It would take a while to explain everything around us. Perhaps it’s better to start walking together. Deep in thought, Albert’s voice rang out.
“So, where are you now in this world?”
Surprised for a moment, Albert’s face soon returned to its usual impassive expression.
Seeing that Blanc and Alexander were still bewildered, it seemed Albert’s adaptability was abnormally fast.
It’s a pity. It’s rare to see such a face. Should have taken a picture. Now that we’re back in the modern world, I missed having a camera.
“Isn’t this world fascinating?”
“It’s not that it isn’t fascinating. It’s definitely different. But…”
Albert came closer and carefully tucked my wildly strewn hair behind my ear as we descended.
“There’s nothing more important to me than you.”
His words were sweeter than sugar, sticking pleasantly to my ear, making my body feel like it was melting.
I gently interlocked my fingers with his. I had taken his hand first, but Albert’s grasp was more assertive.
My hand was enveloped with warmth. It finally felt real that Albert was here in this world with me.
I glanced at Alexander and Blanc, who were still eagerly surveying the surroundings, then pointed towards the road.
“Shall we head to the road first?”
I felt it might be good to explain a bit about life in this dimension to Alexander.
If there was anything I could do for Alexander right now, I wanted to take care of everything for him.
After all, the place we had arrived at was the heart of Seoul.
It would take some time to go to the rental house where I now live with my family, so using public transportation seemed like a good idea.
All of this process seemed like it would help in remembering this dimension.
I recalled the days before we had decided to come here.

Now that Rosé Artius had disappeared, we all pondered together about what to do next.
We decided to adapt to the world that would be newly transformed by Rosé Artius and live a new life.
Because I started seeing the current situation from a new perspective.
“This might be an opportunity given to us.”
Rosé must have thought that the best punishment she could give was making it so that Albert and I could not meet because she disappeared.
But the fact that Albert could turn back time meant it was nothing less than a second chance being given.
