[No matter where you go, who you are, I will definitely find you.]
[I am sorry for leaving you. I am sorry.] my voice replied to him.
His tears trickled my cheeks. This feeling seems familiar. I felt cold and limp. Everything was blurry, and my memories played like an old record.
[ ----, I'll definitely find you, I will.]
"Carina?,"
I jolted from my thoughts as Vance called me. He was holding the book and his eyes looked at me with concern. "Are you okay?,"
"I am alright. Do you have any questions?," I quickly composed myself.
Vance answered reluctantly. "Hm..no,".
I massaged my temples. I've been daydreaming a lot this time lately. It's all because I had the same dream. It's the only dream I've been having ever since I got reincarnated as Carina. Was it Carina's memories'?
It seems like there is a man in that dream. But, Carina was only 12 years old at the time she went into a coma. It's not like she has met any man during that time, is she?
I glanced at Vance who was studying the book calmly. The thought of me having a secret affair with a man makes me feel unpleasant but I don't know why when I think of that, Vance quickly came to mind.
"Yes, I've been out of focus," I mumbled.
Vance looked up from his book, his eyelashes fluttered at the mumbling. His gaze seemed different, it's sharp but at the same time, soft as an animal with no malicious intent. "You're really not okay Carina,".
"Are you still taking the medicine?,"
"Why are you changing the topic?," Vance pouted his lips.
I was taken aback by his smart comeback. No, this is not the sweet innocent Vance I knew!
"I think I am confused to who you really are," I said without thinking, letting out an exasperated sigh.
Vance closed his book with a thud and stared into my eyes, almost seductively. "That should be my line. It feels like you're Aspera's daughter, but at the same time you're not. You care, but at the same time you're indifferent to a lot of things. You're sometimes like an old lady, but sometimes like a blushing maiden," he blabbered.
"Calm down Vance,"
The chair screeched as he stood up and my chin was lifted. His eyes looked down on me as if examining every inch of my face. "This is the real me, but too bad my first impression was a child to you,".
I can feel his warm breath on my face. He slowly inched his face closer. "Vance?,".
Suddenly, Vance's face distorted into a painful expression. He hold his head and his eyes is as if it turned into someone mad. "My head! Argh! My head!!,".
I widened my eyes in shock. Why do I feel like the hysteria is getting worst?
"Kill me! Kill me please! This pain," he quickly ran to the wall and slammed his head multiple times.
"Stop! Stop it!," I put my hands between his forehead and the wall.
He slammed his forehead into my hand. The impact was so strong that I feel like my hand might break. I used my mana and pushed him down to the floor. Before he could stand up, I ran to the bell pull and pulled the cord in a panic state.
"Someone! Anyone out there! Get the prince his medicine!," I yelled.
I clicked my tongue, holding the hysterical Vance glued to the floor.
He skipped his medicine. But why?
