Episode 218 Chapter 46: Old Story(14)

Old Story (14)

After finishing the meal with Isaac Morph, Baek Yuseol was escorted by the aide Wilhelm to the highest quality accommodations reserved for the knight commander.

Ah, I remember him.

The stern yet kind face of Wilhelm from her childhood came to mind.

Though he was strict and intimidating to others, he was always warm to her... Aide Wilhelm.

Now, he gazed at Baek Yuseol with a cold and icy expression.

"...This is the place."

Baek Yuseol was given the privilege of using a personal room, thanks to the special treatment from Isaac Morph, but it seemed Wilhelm was not pleased with this arrangement.

His loyalty to Isaac was so high that he vehemently opposed the idea, even raising his voice.

"Yes. It's a nice room. I'll make good use of it."

Regardless, Baek Yuseol responded in a calm and composed tone. It was truly infuriating, but his indifferent attitude towards others was sometimes enviable.

"I warn you, do not put the young lady in danger. I will not forgive you."

Wilhelm coldly rebuked him before disappearing. Left alone, Baek Yuseol watched him leave, then turned around and sighed deeply.

"Phew..."

This was the first time the always composed Baek Yuseol had shown a moment of vulnerability, leaving Eisel and Flame slightly bewildered.

Baek Yuseol slowly staggered to the bed, threw off his mask, and collapsed onto it.

Finally revealing his face.

...As expected.

Indeed.

It was undoubtedly Baek Yuseol.

However, he looked exactly the same as he did ten years later, as if he didn't age at all.

What could have happened?

As confusion filled Eisel and Flame's minds, Baek Yuseol muttered to himself.

"Rules for time travelers..."

In that moment, it was as if time had stopped.

The two girls widened their eyes in shock.

What...?

What did we just hear?

He didn't say anything particularly difficult, but their brains struggled to comprehend, as if not functioning properly.

Time travel...?

Eisel closed her eyes tightly, trying to organize her thoughts.

Yes, it's not entirely unexpected. He had rewound time thousands of times, so reversing time would be entirely possible if he wanted to.

Then, this man is...

Yes. He is likely the Baek Yuseol from ten years in the future that we know.

His youthful appearance, and upon closer inspection, the uniform he wore was a slightly modified Stella Academy uniform.

In addition to the Terryphon he wore on his waist, he also had a Stella first-year pocket watch hidden inside his coat.

Somehow, and for some reason, Baek Yuseol had gone back ten years into the past and immersed himself in Eisel's history.

Could it be...?

Flame pondered.

'Does this man remember what will happen next?'
