Prologue

I held my voice from coming out of my mouth as I endure the kicks I receive from a lowly male commoners.

"Tough bastard. He hasn't made any sound."

One complain. They were only doing this for fun. I've never been treated like this in the past, not after I was kick out of my title.

"This is getting dull, lets just play cards."

They stop after getting bored of me since I don't react at all.

"But this beggar, he doesn't look half bad does he? He even have a golden hair."

"Pfft- Get a grip of your horniness, he's just a filthy beggar."

"Well I suppose too haha–"

They joke.

'Shut up, if in the past you could never even get a glimpse of me.'

I hate this....Just why?? Why did I did that in the past? Why I am such an idiot that time? Fuck.

My whole body was aching from the beating I got earlier. Its hard to breath, the air smell so fucking dirty. The clothes I was wearing wasn't enough to protect me from cold. My body temperature was getting high as I desperately catch the air.

I got a sight of a figure that was standing above me. It was different from the men earlier I could tell from its aura. It kneel before me then carry me. I made no sound and keep my mouth shut.

Then he started walking as I slowly lose conciousness.

_________

Days have pass. The person that took me was taking care of me without any reason. Until now I never seen its face, so I couldn't tell what he or she was.

But the way it treated me made me open up to them. I told them my regret in the past life and how I should have taken care of my servants more.

My sickness never heal even how much the person tried to treat me. I deserve this. For being such a immature duke.

"Thank you for everything."

I mumble to them who was beside me the whole time. I couldn't tell them how much I cherish its effort.

"If you goes back in the past, what would you do?"

It ask. I force my lips to form a smile and look at him weakly.

"I want to change everything I did for better."

I said with the breath I can mouth. I know, Im dying. I feel a water drop on my wrist. Was it crying? Why?

"Please...Don't die yet duke..."

I open my eyes. Finally, I know who you are. Chris, my dear butler.

I smile and close my eyes. Thank you...Even if I didn't treated you right you did this to me...

And now. I took my last breath beside you.

If I had lied. I could save all of you. If I had been manipulative and smart. I can gave you a good life.

Sorry...For failing you all as your duke...

Who is that? It doesn't sound like Chris would.

No, I should be dead. So who is this?

[Success]

The word appeared in my eyes. In the void of just darkness and nothingless. I was slowly pull by an identified force. Light fill the lid of my eyes. The next I knew was, 'I was awaken in a peaceful morning'.

"Duke? Is there something wrong?"

A familiar voice called. I smile and look toward the person.

"Nothing Chris. I just had very sad dream."

Chris walk closer me and put the bowl of warm water on the table beside my bed. He took out his handkerchief and hand it to me with a downhearted expression plattered on his face.

I blithely took it, gently wiping my tears. I wash my face with the bowl of water that Chris brought and once again wipe my face.

I stand up, making my way toward the window that hasn't been opened yet. I spread the curtains apart then open the window. As soon as I did that, wind came to me gently, the warm sunlight kiss my skin. The smell of flower coming from my garden was refreshing and calming.

'Ahh...I miss this...'

I close my eyes and enjoyed it for a brief moment.

"Chris..."

I open my eyes and smile.

"I've been given another chance to wake up in the morning. Isn't that great?"

I turn over while fixing the strand of hair that was covering my face due to wind. Chris face was full of question.

"Yes...?"

He answer nevertheless. I chuckle wholeheartedly. I know that Im being weird. But Im so happy right now. I can finally fix my mistakes.
