Chapter 698: Rudolf’s Stratagem 3

“What is it, princess? You don’t seem that good.”

Victor asked with anxiousness clearly registered on his face after seeing Karen leave her room very early in the morning.

He felt responsible for Karen.

It wasn’t just because he felt like he owed it to her for saving his life.

Karen looked very much like the little Reina he knew. He didn’t know the details about Karen, but it seemed like she had ties with Reina or the Volga royal family.

Of course, his attitude toward her was because he found her cute.

“That… I had a scary dream.”

“Is that so? Don’t worry. I will make that dream never come close to you again.”

Karen smiled at Victor’s words but was soon lost in her thought.

‘Who the hell would try to turn back time? In order to turn back time, the ruins of Abaron are needed, and the only place is currently buried under the Baroque Imperial palace.’

The most promising person to do it was Emperor Rudolf.

Even in the original history where Karen lived, Emperor Rudolf did try to restore and use the ruins of Abaron years later.

It wasn’t the time yet, but maybe the change in variable had caused the situation to accelerate.

The next one would be Arsene.

He might have known about the existence of the Abaron ruins. He was a monster who had slaughtered the world by staying in the dark for 500 years.

There could have been other candidates who she didn’t know about, but the fact that the ruins were able to turn back time remained unchanged.

‘I need to talk with dad.’

One couldn’t solve his or her problems at once or by themselves.

So Karen went into her room right after having her breakfast and pulled out her crystal ball.

It was a high-end magic communication crystal that Luke had sent to her as a gift.

The moment she infused mana and set the coordinates, Luke’s face popped up right away.

-Oh oh, Karen. What made you contact your dad?

“That…”

-Please don’t ask me to teach you anything. I don’t like getting scolded by your mom.

Karen smiled when Luke said that.

She talked to him about her dream.

-A scary dream?

“Yes, that was…”

Karen explained everything in detail.

On one hand, she even wanted to mention the foresight dream that El Kassel had given her, the man who sent her to the past and changed the future, but she couldn’t speak it out.

It was as if something was blocking her mouth.

‘Does he not want to be mentioned?’

Maybe that was true.

So, how could she pursue her dad without even telling her dad what she even saw in her dream?

Unlike Karen, Luke seemed quite serious to listen to it.

He didn’t know that Karen was his own daughter, but he did know that she came back from the future.

So he was able to understand what she was so concerned about.

-I heard from Count Hwang Bo-sung that you are a child from the future. That is why you are worried that someone like you would go back in time and change the situation. Right?

“Yes. That is it.”

Karen nodded and asked, “… Is it wrong to worry?”
