Noah blinked a few times to hold back the tears that wanted to rush down from his eyes badly.
But he didn't want to let them out and admit his weak point.
Duke Hertz had left his home after the death of his wife and Noah had never found him again.
Maybe deep inside of Noah's heart, he regretted pushing away his mother who loved him so much, and had a tiny hope of seeing her alive again.
This is why he watched the destruction of this empire as he was tired of living with that guilt, tired of living again and again with everyone's vivid memories in his mind.
But if he was going to live again, then he wished to see her again.
Thus, he helped Dion, who had come to him with a magic scroll and taught him one of the forbidden magic spells from his first life to turn back the time.
Although he was still confused as from where Dion got that magic scroll, that didn't matter to him at that time.
