"They will find you sooner or later. You have to come out of this place. The Queen's master will meet you, and you will have to undergo his training the same way as your mother."
"What?" Somehow, Xiao Yue could not be excited to do the training. She still didn't want to leave this place.
"Believe me; you will not regret it. Once you leave this place, your sealed memories will merge into the present. There are happy times in your experience with your brother and your new friends."
"What about the black knight? I heard I was his inamorata. The reason my father kept the island from outsiders was to prevent an Elementalist knight from making a time-controller become his inamorata. Once a time-controller had been claimed, their lives will be shortened."
Even though she was very young at that time, the Queen had given her knowledge of the history of Nishian Island's existence. The main reason they had to make their island invisible was that they could not let the Elementalist Knights claim time-controllers to become their inamorata.
The King and Queen protected their people from avoiding unwanted incidents by making an invisible barrier around the island and forbidding time-controllers from going out of the island.
That's why not many people knew the existence of time-controllers. They were considered extinct right after the mass killings in the kingdom of the Zeed.
People have forgotten the existence of these time-controllers as it gradually considered a myth by outsiders.
Now she was afraid that she would die if she carelessly accepted the fusion of a knight's energy.
Besides, once she accepted herself as inamorata, her life would be curbed, and she would not fall in love with someone else. How could she possibly fall in love with strangers she didn't know?
"It's a different case if you are the Time Master. Well, I had never expected you would be an inamorata, but it is not something bad. You also like him if you are curious about your feeling."
"I like him?"
In her entire life, she had never been in love. She had not had time to feel it as her heart had died since she lost her family. Ever since she saw her brother injured from dozens of arrows that attacked them, her life, which was full of laughter, shortly turned dark.
Besides, she was locked here all these years, so she knew nothing about the outside world.
She did not remember how she ended up in this place, nor she cared about it. She was sure her brother would die soon because of excessive blood loss. Therefore she never tried to find an exit.
Since then, she never left this place. She thought this place was the safest place for her. Although this place was dark, cold and nobody was here, she felt more secure here.
She also did not feel hungry or sick. Just feel cold and lonely, yet she liked being here.
That's why when someone says that she likes someone, she didn't believe it at all.
"Do I like him?"
"Yes. I'm always watching you quietly. So I know everything that happened to you guys. "
"How about brother Xiao Yang? How could his face be the same as twelve years ago? He is not a time-controller, so how can he not age at all?"
"..." Uncle Ling Duan did not answer and just put his index finger to her forehead.
The most profound memories in Niken's brain began to emerge.
Twelve years ago, Xiao Yang took her out of a cave and went to a village where there were only non-Elementalist people. They both hide their identities and mingle with all of them.
Many abductions of a seven-year-old girl, along with the death of man around seventeen years old, occurred in the area. Her brother realized sooner or later they would be captured.
Luckily Uncle Ling Duan appeared in front of them and helped them. Uncle Ling Duang suggested that Xiao Yang use the power of the stone the Queen had given him. The ability to reverse the lifetime of himself and his sister's lives.
Seven-year-old Xiao Yue was turned back into a five-year-old child. After that, Xiao Yang turned back his own life's time until he was the same age as Xiao Yue. Previously Xiao Yang had found a necklace bearing the name of a boy and girl in the cave.
So after Xiao Yang and Xiao Yue returned to being five years old, Uncle Ling Duan put the necklace on the two of them. Xiao Yang wore the necklace that says Richard, while Xiao Yue used the necklace that said Niken. After that, he took the unconscious siblings and left them in front of an orphanage door.
"Since then, you have become twin siblings with a new name. As in exchange, your memories as Xiao Yue were sealed along with your true astral soul. But you could break the seal as you are The Time Master."
"How about brother Xiao Yang?"
"..." there was a moment of silence before uncle Ling Duan continued. "His memory as a crown prince of Xiao Yang will never return. He would stay as he is."
