"Yes, Rothbert. I wish to use my real name in this lifetime." no hesitation or regret in his tone made Rothbert nod his head once.
"As you wish, sir. I'll take care of it in the morning."
"It doesn't have to be tomorrow morning. Spend your vacation with your family first. After all, I don't need it in a hurry. I want to adapt to the situation this year first." he needed to study the situation around him that seemed very different from what he remembered.
After farewell to resign, Rothbert walked out, leaving Vasili pensive alone. There are thousands of 'what happens' questions swirling around in his head. Just as he felt his head starting to feel dizzy, Vasili decided to open his laptop and see any news he had missed.
Nothing much has changed for the most part. All of the common events, be it stock increases, disasters, or diseases in some big country, were the same as his memory.
However... there was one thing that occurred very differently, and this change was massive.
The Kingdom of Prussia.
He didn't find the Prussian as he remembered! Surprisingly, he saw a bunch of pictures of the state of the new Prussia. The area was now filled with modern buildings like Germany. In addition, Prussia was now designated as part of Germany, and there was no longer a system of kingdoms or four rulers to govern the country.
What happened? Why was Prussia so vastly different from what he remembered?
Vasili browsed furthermore to find out what happened ten years ago in Prussia. He read one of the blogs that reported a mass fire that claimed many victims and... the Black Zero Operation organization appeared?
Does that mean... the fire energy that was sealed in the tunnel has been broken? Who broke the seal? The red king? How can it be? Has the red king discovered the fire element?
Questions that were 'what happens' are now multiplying into various other questions and gathered into one in his head.
Who is the red king, and why did he destroy the Prussian empire? Does this have something to do with Alexsei stabbing his heart?
How can he return to the past? Why couldn't he remember anything before he was killed?
'Axel!' suddenly, the figure of the same girl reappeared in his memory. He even heard the girl's voice as if she was nearby.
Who is that girl? What is her name? Why does his chest hurt again?
Vasili touched his cheek, feeling like a liquid flowing and wetting his cheek. His brow furrowed when he saw that his fingers were a bit wet, like there was water there.
Is he crying? Why?
Once again, Vasili clutched his aching chest. The pain was many times more excruciating than before.
Why? Why does he feel congested?
Thousands of different questions previously filled his brain as if to merge into one and form thousands of whys.
The other hand that was not gripping his chest gripped the table, turning it into desk ice. The cold mist around him began to emerge and slowly froze whatever it touched.
If he didn't quickly control the flow of his powerful energy, this entire room would become a frosted room, and no one would be able to open the door of this room.
"X!"
Vasili turned towards the window as soon as he heard someone calling out to her. He just realized what he had done and closed his eyes to control his turmoil emotion. He tried to calm himself then took a deep breath. At the same time, the cold mist gradually dissipated, followed by the ice crystals on his desk evaporating.
Vasili walked to the window and opened the window door wide. He saw his guardian white eagle perched there with his wings flapping happily.
"You're finally awake! I've been waiting for you for ten years!"
"Are you the Falcon from 2047 or the current year?"
Falcon tilted its head, showing it was confused by his unusual question.
"Of course, I am the Falcon in this year. I've never experienced the events of 2047. You did."
"What do you mean?"
Falcon briefly explained that Vasili, who came from the year 2047, decided to go back in time to change the tragic fate of his true love. As a result, he managed to change the girl's bad memories, and that's what caused the conditions in Prussia to change so drastically.
Vasili was somewhat surprised to hear Falcon tell him that he has met his true love. Could it be the girl in his memory?
Why did he forget her? Why couldn't he remember the girl or her name?
"Do you know the child's name?"
"Uhm.. you never told me before. But I still remember her face. Do you want to see it?"
"..." Without waiting for Vasili's response, the white eagle combined its mind with Vasili to reveal the image of a girl. Or so he thought.
It was not a girl, but a little girl! How could his true love be a child?!
The girl is cute, with black hair trimmed with brown highlights. Her wide smile made Vasili's heart feel lighter without him knowing it. He didn't know if the little girl was his true love, but he adored her at first sight.
If only he met her in her adulthood, he wouldn't be surprised if he fell in love with her.
However, the child did not have red hair, which meant that the child was not the girl in his memory.
Vasili was sure he had never met the child before. He was sure he did not recognize the child at all. But why does his heart say otherwise? Why did his heart say Vasili knew the girl very well?
What is the girl's name? Where is the girl now?
He couldn't handle a thousand questions anymore. Vasili had to find the answer quickly, and somehow the one who could give him what he wanted was...
The violet king.
Now the big question is... how could he find the violet king?
