Episode 127

“Umm………”

How long has it been since I fell asleep, I felt like someone kept poking me.

I thought it was an illusion at first, so I closed my eyes tightly and tried to sleep.

But now I can even hear a faint voice as if calling my name.

“Yerine?”

When I opened my eyes in surprise, I saw a woman with black hair staring at me.

“Who, who………”

I realized the moment I saw her face with a backward step.

She certainly looked the same as me.

The same image as me before I possessed this place.

“Yerine?”

“Oh, I haven’t heard that name in a long time. That sounds awkward.”

The woman with black hair scratched her cheek with excitement.

“So, you’re the real Yerine….…?”

“Oh, that’s right, but now just call me Yoon Se-Yeon. I already got used to it.”

She tapped her fingers and said.

“Isn’t the name Yerine more familiar to you now?”

Her dark brown eyes gazed at me gently.

“Well, that’s right.”

“Then let’s just call each other like that.”

She said with a calm smile.

Only then did I realize the surrounding area.

There was no floor or ceiling.

Although it looked iridescent, there was no such thing as a hard wall.

I felt as if I were floating in the air.

“I’m glad you’re doing well now.”

She, the real Yerine who became Yoon Se-Yeon, opened her mouth.

“You’re doing fine, aren’t you? I didn’t see it wrong, right?”

“Oh, yeah, I’m doing great.”

I talked awkwardly, sweeping down my long purple hair.

Then she said with a playful smile.

“It looks like you’ve reached Trump’s position, right? Congratulations.”

“Oh, thank you…….”

A few years have passed since Iker Tigris’ coup was put to rest.

After returning to the Academy and finishing my studies, I became a palace wizard.

And when it was time for the Duke of Ace, a former Trump, to retire, I rose to Trump’s post.

“But how do you know everything?”

“Oh, sometimes I saw it in my dreams. I heard something from her before I came here.”

“Her? The Dragon Lady?”

“That’s right.”

She replied with a nod.

I haven’t met the Dragon Lady since the coup.

The Dragon Lady told me to call her whenever I had trouble, but I didn’t call her because it didn’t happen.

And after breaking up in the forest, the dreaming of her no longer comes out.

‘She must have been in touch with her often.’

Just then, what The Dragon Lady said a few years ago was in my head.

‘Because the child earnestly begged me to help you.’

“Hey, Yeri, no, Se-Yeon.”

“Huh?”

“A few years ago, I almost died. She helped me back then and she did say this.”

She tilted her head when she heard me.

“I heard you begged her to help me.”

“Ah.”

She exclaimed as if she had remembered what I said.

“Why did you do that? Did you know I was in your body in the first place?”

“Oh, well…….”

Her expression hardened slightly.

Seeing the sudden shadow on her face, there seemed to be something wrong.

“At first, I didn’t use magic at all as my mother said. I was afraid that there would be another person who would get hurt because of my magic, and I was also afraid of getting hurt.”

It was a clear voice, but I felt a heavy stone-like weight in it.

“And then…… I died. I was misunderstood to have tried to hurt a kid named Erica. Because I accidentally hurt her eyes.”

It was consistent with the results of the original story I know.

But I didn’t know about such a background story.

The situation of the villain, an extra, has never appeared in the original story.

“I was so scared because I thought it was a real-time for me to die. And I thought to myself. I want everything to be gone, and I want to go back in time before this happens.”

“No way, that’s why….…?”

She nodded at my question.

“Right. Eventually, the eye granted my wish, and I turned back the time. Right before the successor appointment ceremony.”

I was also on the verge of a successor appointment ceremony when I first possessed Yerine’s body in this world.

“Since it’s my second life, I’ve done many things differently, so I don’t die like before.”

She spoke in a calm voice.

“Whenever I returned, it was always before the successor appointment ceremony, and I couldn’t turn the time beyond that. I wanted to see my parents, but it didn’t work. Well, that was good.”

The sad-looking chestnut eyes turned to me.

“By the way, the result wasn’t good even if I did it a few times. There were still cases where I wasn’t appointed as a successor, and even if I was lucky enough to be appointed as a successor, something bad happened at the Academia.”

“Wait, what? Few times?”

When I heard her story, I cried out in surprise.

“Yes, I’ve been turning back the time over and over again. Right before I died.”

For a second, she looked as if she had put everything down.

Seeing her face, I couldn’t even imagine how many times she had gone through.

“But it didn’t work. Even if I turn back time, I’ve been beaten to death by a Postade family, or I’ve been trapped in a tower, starved to death, or I’ve been framed to death.”

She repeated her life of regression over and over again but seemed to have only death left in her life.

“I see, it must have been too hard.”

If anyone goes through such a thing, they’ll be on the verge of madness.

“I thought about it just before I died.”

She tapped her head and talked.

“I just want to let go of everything, magic or anything, I want it to stop.”

And she took a step forward and said.

“Now I want to live another life.”

Now I have a rough outline of what happened.

“And then the eyes responded to that wish. When I opened my eyes, I was possessed by another world, another body.”

“The two of us have switched.”

“That’s right.”

She said with a melancholy look on her face.

“How surprised I was to find out that I had sent someone else to my place because of my wrong wish.”

Her dark eyes stayed with me.

“I thought I’d take it back, but I didn’t know what to do because I didn’t have dragon eyes in my body.”

“So you made a wish instead.” please visit pαпᵈα-:)ɴᴏᴠᴇ1.co)m

“Yes. My hands trembled to think that I sent someone there who had no connection there.”

She talked, tearing her hair out with a tired face.

“Luckily, my prayers reached her, and I’m glad you look okay for now.”

“By the way, are you okay? How are you doing?”

She pointed her finger at herself with her head tilted at my words.

“Me?”

“I was definitely about to fall off the veranda and die before I possessed…….”

“Oh, I didn’t die because it wasn’t high. I was hospitalized because I broke one leg.”

It felt strange to see her smiling as if it wasn’t a big deal.

I’m sure she had the face of my past life, but she had a completely different look from me.

I could feel from that look that she was happy now.

I was relieved for some reason.

“I, thanks to your hard work, I passed my bar exam.”

“Really?”

“Yes, so I’m doing a lot of things now.”

She said with a calm smile with a flushed face.

“I’m really sorry for you, but……I’m glad I don’t have to suffer from the fear of dying any longer. There’s no magic here, and no one bothers me like the Postade family.”

Being possessed seemed to be the key to ending her infinite regression.

“You know what?”

I opened my mouth and uttered words that were hovering in my heart.

“Are you satisfied with your life as Yoon Se-Yeon?”

She paused for a moment and hesitated to answer.

She opened her mouth when I nodded and signalled that it was okay for her to be honest.

“I’m…….yes, I’m not saying this from the point of taking your body, but honestly, I’m happy with my life now.”

“Then that’s enough.”

She replied with a slight smile.

Then she looked up at me and asked.

Her brown eyes and my red eyes-purple eyes met.

“What about you? Are you satisfied?”

Many things that have happened so far passed through my head like a flashlight.

Each of them was precious memories.

I lived a hard life.

And lived happily ever after.

The life given again was so precious to me.

“Yes.”

I answered without hesitation.

Her chestnut eyes shone joyfully facing me.

***

When I came to my senses, the iridescent space disappeared out of nowhere.

The scattered documents and the mahogany desk with a golden border look blurry.

“Umm…….”

Just then, someone poked me in the cheek.

When I turned my head, I noticed a glistening gold pupil.

Cassius grinned and said as I raised my upper body in a fit of surprise.

“You! Trump shouldn’t sleep in a place like this.”

“Your Majesty.”

I hurriedly finished my clothes and cleaned up my messy hair.

Cassius grabbed my hand and gave me an agitated smile.

“Hmm. I’ve told you to call me by my name when it was only the two of us. I’m disappointed.”

Seeing Cassius take my hand and kiss me, my face got heated.

“What are you going to do if someone sees us? I’m still at work.”

“What’s the matter? I’m sure no one in the palace doesn’t know we’re dating.”

“That’s because Cassius is making it so obvious…….”

However, with one word, I realized that Cassius was not going to step down.

He rubbed my hand against his cheek, and I sighed.

Just then, the door to the library opened and a silver-haired man came in.

His blue eyes came out like sapphires and were fixed to Cassius, and I quickly pulled my hand out of Cassius’ grasp.

Looking at Eugene, who had wrinkles in his forehead with a look on his face, it was clear that a nagging bomb would fly.

“No, Trump-nim. You didn’t forget to have a meeting in an hour and keep flirting here, are you?”

“No, I’m not. What do you mean flirting, haha.”

“Do something about that awkward laugh first. Did you read the data?”

“Of course. Who am I?”

When I said so, a woman with pink hair burst into laughter.

“That’s right. It’s not anyone else, it’s Yerine. I think you don’t have to worry.”

“Blothea, you’re always on the side of Spade. You be quiet. Isn’t it still work time for you? Why are you here?”

“Do you think the Treasury Department doesn’t have any time off?”

Eugene and Erica came forward with their never-ending quarrel, Rachel stepped in.

“Come on, don’t fight, calm down. How can you fight every day like this?”

“That’s how it used to be.”

Astra nodded and said.

“But Eugene, don’t go too far. If Yerine gets angry, she’ll force the meeting to be extended.”

“No, Astra. I’m not that much of a dictator. Unlike anyone whose name is Eugene and last name is Ace.”

“What?”

Eugene frowned and poured out words of rebuttal, but I covered my ears and pretended not to hear.

“See you at the meeting later.”

“Yes, yes. Get ready and come. We’re going to ask a lot of questions.”

“You really.”

Eugene grumbled and left, and the rest of the people greeted him.

“See you in an hour!”

Erica also cried out with her hair braid in one fine way.

“I’m going to take care of just one thing. Don’t forget that we’re going to go eat the new cake after the meeting, Yerine!”

“Of course, I’ll wait for you after the meeting.”

“Yes!”

So Erica left, only I and Cassius remained in the library.

“There’s only two of us left. Great.”

“Don’t you like it too much?”

“Whatever.”

Cassius burst into laughter and said.

The eyes resembling the golden sun were fixed on me.

The beautiful golden lake’s surface captured my image.

The two hands held together were still warm.

I thought this was enough.

I didn’t have anything else to ask for.

I’m a Villainess but Too Popular
