I was a horrible husband, and a scumbag father. Having amnesia wasn’t an excuse. Even so, because of that, I lost my family instantly. In order to save Nero– my son and heir– I killed my daughter Neoma. And then I had to witness Mona, my neglected wife, die in front of me. Why did I have to regain all my memories at that exact moment? I wanted to die with Mona and Neoma. And, just when I thought I could finally be reunited with them, I opened my eyes and realized I turned back time. I returned at the exact moment Mona and I were in the middle of discussing divorce. Divorce? No way in hell would Nikolai divorce Mona this time!
"NERO, you look tired," Nikolai said, patting Nero's shoulder. "Go and take a rest in your sister's room. Your mother's surgery won't end just because you're here."
He didn't mean to sound cold, but he couldn't help the current tone of his voice.
"I want to stay here, Abeoji," Nero said calmly. "I'm worried about you."
Oh.
If it wasn't a serious situation, Nikolai would have teased Nero for being "cheesy."
However, at that time, he really appreciated his son's attempt to console him.
"Don't worry about me, son," Nikolai assured his son. "I won't break down. Our family still needs me, after all."
"Abeoji…"
"Nikolai-ssi."
Ah.
Nikolai got up from his seat to greet Kiho and Tilly Nam.
The royal couple was only accompanied by a single knight– the knight that could see visions just like the shamans of the Binnuri Temple.
[I hope they're here for some good news.]
