Epilogue.
 

Sitting in my rocking chair from inside the villa and looking out is a recent pleasure and a daily routine.
 
Outside, my great-grandchildren are desperately trying to challenge the training facilities I have built. My children and grandchildren have been down this road.
 
The training centre itself is old and dilapidated, but my children have renovated it and even added new equipment. According to my children, this training is a “Rosenberg family tradition”.
 
I didn’t intend for my children to go through this kind of training, but seeing the squire’s children taking on this facility, … Read the rest

Final Chapter 4: Another Ending (Present)

“Is she really my child?”
 
My husband, who always smiles when he looks at our six-year-old daughter, asked this with a puzzled expression.
 
Despite her position allowing her to indulge in any whim, Selina has been diligently engaged in various lessons since she was little. She fervently studies not only etiquette but also horse riding, swordsmanship, self-defense, and even magic. And she excels in all of them.
 
The tutors all say in unison,
 
“Lady Selina is a genius.”
 
I was relieved. This way, no one would suspect my infidelity. … Read the rest

Another Ending
 
Final Chapter 3: Another Ending (Past)
 

I had a fiancé. He was my cousin, three years older than me, with whom I had been close since childhood.
 
Like me, he had black eyes and black hair, with handsome features. He was gentle, and being with him felt comfortable.
 
When our engagement was decided at fourteen, I was happy. Since childhood, I had wished for it to happen, so I thought my dream had come true.
 
However, in the year I turned eighteen, I received a marriage proposal from a … Read the rest

Final Chapter 2: Alice
 

 
Long ago, I was in an orphanage. I don’t know why I was there, and I’m not particularly interested. The orphanage wasn’t a great place, mainly because it had few books. With no other choice, I read the same books over and over or distracted myself by reading the nuns’ diaries and letters.
 
I just wanted to read something, anything. I wanted to know things. For me, that was everything; there was nothing else.
 
The turning point came when I was ten years old. Lady Selina arrived at the orphanage.
 
I … Read the rest

Final Chapter 1: Marius
 

 
Marius is back.
 
Of course, to the world, it didn’t seem like he suddenly came back.
 
The world had changed, blending the previous life and the current one, and he was treated as if he had always been there.
 
Thanks to the [Record], Marius and I knew that two worlds had existed.
 
However, the servants, who hadn’t known Marius before, now recognized him as someone who had always been there. They believed that the ritual performed in the magic training ground was to recover Marius, who had lost his existence … Read the rest

6-4 The Last Wish
 

In the basement of the duke’s mansion, there is a large magical training ground.
 
Even though great nobles rarely engage in battles themselves, their ancestors were often excellent knights or warriors. In the case of the Rosenberg ducal family, their ancestor was a magician.
 
This underground training ground is a remnant of that legacy. While it’s sometimes used for magic training, it was originally a place for magical rituals.
 
Nowadays, it’s not uncommon to use magic openly in the garden during broad daylight, but magic was originally a secret art, not meant … Read the rest

6-3 The Price
 

 
I finished reading the [Record] in my room. Despite the book’s considerable thickness, the pages with text didn’t even fill half of it.
 
No matter how much I flipped through, no more of his messages appeared.
 
The book, impervious to any interference, repelled even my tears, which slid off its surface.
 
Of course, reading the [Record] doesn’t allow me to remember Marius.
 
It’s just a vague feeling that “someone like that might have existed.”
 
However, his presence completely filled the hole in my heart.
 
The other visitor besides Father, … Read the rest

6-2 Marius
 

If Selina is reading this, it means you’ve been given another chance at life.
 
Wonderful. I’ve succeeded in altering the world. Now I can proudly say that I’m a magician worthy of the Seven Stars.
 
However, Selina, you probably don’t remember me.
 
It’s understandable. Magic always requires a price. The cost of changing the world far exceeds mere magical power.
 
To cast this spell, I had to offer my very existence as payment. In other words, I had to give up my own existence to the world.
 
Do you understand what I’m … Read the rest

Chapter 6: The Ritual
 
6-1 The Seven Stars
 

“I might be recommended for the Seven Stars.”
 
Alice reported this to me some time after my engagement to the crown prince had been privately called off.
 
The Seven Stars is a title given to the top seven magicians in this country.
 
There are apparently evaluation criteria such as magical power, ability, and achievements. But it’s rare for someone Alice’s age to be recommended for the Seven Stars.
 
Alice has been at the top of the magic class since her first year, and has been creating … Read the rest

5-5 Breaking the Engagement
 

After that, the servants continued to expand their influence on their own.
 
After all, I had been telling them since their training that “the real deal starts when you enter the academy,” so it was too late to stop them now.
 
I saw knight-class students shouting “Sir, yes sir!” to Richard, but I pretended not to notice. I hope I’m wrong, but could it be that the servants are applying the education I gave them to the regular students?
 
I can’t exactly say,
 
“That education is for assassins, so you shouldn’t … Read the rest
