The corrupt official from over two thousand years ago... indeed bore an uncanny resemblance to old man Lance; this [young lord] that we've encountered, it's very likely that he is the one from over two thousand years ago... the one from the timeline we're currently in... who hasn't grown up yet into that [corrupt official]."
The more Annie spoke, the more excited she became. If their conjecture were true, wouldn't it mean that they could guide the [young lord], so that he won't become a corrupt official in the future?
If the young lord doesn't become a corrupt official, he won't be sent to the gallows.
She didn't want to see such a lovely young lord end up as a big corrupt official that brings disaster upon the nation... and be sent to the gallows...
"Meredith, have we now returned to history from over two thousand years ago, or are we trapped in an illusion?"
"I suspect we have encountered what legends call [History Recreation]."
"History Recreation?"
