In Order to Prevent Your Death

[On a dark night when not even the moon rises, he who claims the woman born from a sorrowful melody shall obtain all things in this world.]

Fresh tears fell from Isabella’s eyes as she heard that prophecy.

Everything had been turned back. He would be perfectly fine without a single injury, and she herself would soon be hunted by people. Since any citizen of the Tenat Empire could hear that prophecy, he would have heard it as well. And in the end, he would find her again.

But this time would be different. It had to be different. In order not to repeat the same mistake, she had abandoned everything and thrown herself off a cliff to turn back time, so she absolutely could not repeat the same mistake. Because the end of that same mistake was his death.

Thinking that, she chose someone else.

“Isabella.”
“…..”
“I love you. I have loved you for a long time. I am so overwhelmingly happy at the fact that you will become my wife.”

Her mind went blank under the flood of the young count’s confession. At the very moment she instinctively felt a surge of displeasure and tried to pull her hand away, the door to the parlor burst open, and the person who walked in was…

“Isabella. I have come to escort you.”

It was her ex-husband.
