Chapter 149: Conflict and Opposition 4

The next day, Luke had a good time with Reina while visiting the famous attractions of the capital.

“Aren’t you going to attend the Victory Parade in the Central Square?” Asked Reina.

“The guys will attend it.”

“Even then, there will be a lot of people who would come to see the War Hero.”

“I did put up a reason, told them that my body isn’t feeling good. So it won’t be a problem.”

And whatever the situation, the Emperor was surely having trouble handling the nobles, so he won’t be having time to worry about Luke or his absence.

So, Luke had decided to use that time while spending it with Reina as much as he could.

“The old Imperial Palace…”

Luke and Reina had entered the white marble fort near the Imperial Palace.

It was formerly the royal palace of the Libiya kingdom, and it had been preserved till the current time because it was used by the first Emperor, Karno de Baroque, and his coronation had happened there.

It was said to have been opened for the tourists for a lot of years and been used as a villa for certain visitors too.

“I know this place. It is like that place where I lived when I was young.”

As the old memories of her childhood surfaced, a longing smile rose on Reina’s face.

“The cherry tree is the same as it used to be. I used to go up there and worry Sir Pavel.”

“You seem like a tomboy.”

“Yeah, maybe if I wasn’t all alone, I might have made it to being a knight.”

“Hmm… not that is something I have a hard time imagining.”

With the memories that Reina brought up, the two people looked around the old palace and moved to another location.

The place was pretty busy, with an old temple on top of the structure.

“Wah, I can see the entire capital from here.” Said Reina who was excited.

“The sunset we see from here is amazing.”

Not long after Luke had said that the sun began to set.

The red glow began to color the whole sky.

The same magnificent landscape hadn’t changed even after 500 years.

“Oh my, this is really beautiful.”

“This was one of the secrets of Nemesis that was introduced to me by someone I know.”

Luke smiled a bitter smile.

It was Katarina, who had taught him to explore nature.

Ironically, she was the same person who had introduced Luke to the place, and Luke was telling that to the person who looked like her.

“But it is a bit weird.” Reina said.

“Weird?” Asked Luke.

“I lived in the capital for years when I was young and asked to move from my country, but I rarely went outside the villa. But for some reason… this landscape is different. A feel like I have been here before?”

At the words of Princess Reina, Luke could feel his heart race.

Reina looked a lot like Katarina, but he knew that the two weren’t the same person.

However, after hearing those words, he felt weird.

‘Could this really be reincarnation, the one the people in the Southern continent talk about?’

If indeed, Reina was Katarina’s reincarnation, Luke could truly thank God.
