200 years of love ~The noble lady, betrayed by the prince and banished to the past~ - Chapter 15
15.Mikhail and Cain
After crying in Cain’s arms for a while, Lunaria looked up warily and asked.
“Can you please explain to me what this is all about?”
Cain placed his hand on Lunaria’s cheek and wiped away the traces of tears. She felt relief to see the traces of Mikhail in his gestures.
“The day you were summoned back, for you, it was only a short time ago. Although the defensive magic was lifted and had failed, the other magic I had cast was intact. The magic that connects you and me, like a thread of fate. Even though we were separated by time, it kept us connected and prevented me from losing hope.”
“The magic that connects me and Mikhail?”
“Yes, that’s what I used to try to follow you two hundred years into the future. If it is impossible to prevent you from being transported to the future, then there is no other way. I decided to put everything on the line to be reincarnated in the world 200 years from now. After years and years of hard work, I finally perfected the magic of reincarnation and reincarnated into the world of two hundred years from now where you are.”
“… you put in so much effort for me?”
After that farewell, he spent decades chasing after her, trying to fulfil their wish of living together, causing him a tremendous sacrifice. The tears that had barely stopped moments ago were about to overflow again, but she endured and didn’t cry.
“The truth is, I wanted to stop your engagement to the first prince. But I couldn’t do anything about that. I’m sorry…”
“Don’t worry about it. I met you thanks to it.”
“You can certainly say that. Maybe Mikhail helped you two hundred years ago and Cain was meant to help Mikhail”
“Cain helped Mikhail?”
“Yeah. The defensive spell was lifted indeed, but the connection with you was left untouched, and you left behind a huge amount of magic power that was needed for reincarnation magic. The moonstone pendant that you’ve been wearing contained an enormous amount of magic power. My magic power alone could not have done it.”
Without thinking, she reached for her chest, but the pendant she was supposed to have been wearing was missing. Most likely, it was blown away when she was summoned and laid by Mikhail’s side.
“When Lunaria was summoned, I hated the sorceress whose face I didn’t even know, but now I’m grateful. And it was for the best, after all. You and your family should be reunited, and your honor should be restored. It will be easier for you to live in your former world than in the unfamiliar one.”
Cain reached out to her hair and kissed her forehead.
“I can live anywhere as long as I am with you. Although I’m certain that you have some regrets in coming to the future.”
“Lunaria, I was pushed to twist my life around. It is natural to have some regrets. So, don’t worry, and let’s destroy those feelings together.”
“Destroy my regrets?”
Then, Cain held Lunaria’s hand and snapped his fingers, and in the next moment, they were standing in front of a familiar door. Lunaria looked at that door as a uncomfortable memory surfaced in her mind.
