"How could you be a witch?" Hoseok
" well... "
Sea was confused by the fact that she was a witch. Apparently... in the novel... huh? What was it?
I don't remember the content of the novel.
"Hmm... what should I do..."
"What... do you mean?"
"I'm really curious as to why you're a witch. You can only go back in time once a year. It's only once a year... Shouldn't you think about it carefully?"
"You're not a great wizard for nothing... Going back to the past..."
That's quite an interesting story. I have so many questions right now.
"I'm pretty amazing. Let's go back to the past."
"Huh? You said you had to think about it carefully?"
"I don't think I'll regret it."
"What?"
"Looking at your past?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Hoseok drew a magic circle. Then he spilled a drop of blood into the circle.
It became dazzlingly bright, but as the light gradually faded, it turned into a blue light and shimmered.
"Take my hand."
I reached out my hand, trembling. Then, my eyes closed again on their own in the bright light.
"Open your eyes?"
" ah...? "
"I don't know exactly when, but I think it was when the war broke out. It was a total mess;;"
The scene unfolding before my eyes was horrific. Perhaps because it was wartime, the streets were lined with injured people, the smell was foul, and, as Jeong Ho-seok had described, it was a mess.
"Hmm, how can I find you in this vast empire....;;"
"How about going to the mansion? Use magic..."
"Unfortunately, that's impossible. You can't use magic in the past. Except when you return to the present."
" ah... "
"Since the mansion is near the palace, it would be nice to walk along the palace that can be seen in the distance."
"Come on, let's go!"

While walking
Dub suk -
"Platinum blonde...! You're from the Karna family, right? There's a witch over there! Please help me quickly!!"
"Huh...yeah?! "
The commoners who held onto Sea and pleaded with her because the women of the Karna family had the power to deal with witches.
"Even though the magicians and the Karna family are coming together, the empire is quickly falling into disarray because there are only a few people...!"
I looked at Jeong Ho-seok, confused and wondering what I should do.
"What should I do? This person is an illegitimate child, so he has no magic power. He was born with only platinum hair." Hoseok
" no... "
People sank to the floor in despair. It was heartbreaking, but there was nothing they could do. They absolutely could not touch the past.
"This is it... It's too far, it'll take a while. I'll have to use magic."
"I definitely didn't know that earlier..."
"You, not me."
" ah...? "
"This is my first time teleporting, but we don't have much time. Just give it a try."
"I don't know how to do it...?"
"Just close your eyes, relax your body, and picture the place you want to go."
....nod
I closed my eyes tightly and pictured the mansion.
Swoosh -
Was it a success...?
I opened my closed eyes, and when I opened them, I saw a very familiar space.
"Well... I guess you found it."
Jeong Ho-seok stretched out his hand and pointed somewhere.
"Se-ah... Se-ah!!!"
A very beautiful woman was holding a small child in her arms, crying and screaming. The child she was holding seemed... dead.
And... I think that kid is me.
Am I... dead? But I'm alive now...?
"Use magic to hide our appearance. We must not be caught."
"N...yes."
After hiding, I held my breath and watched the situation.
"Baby... no... baby!!! "
He stroked the child with trembling hands. And then,
"Please...! Please... Please have pity on this lovely child and please save her."
The witch said, smiling as if it was funny.
"Why should I do that? What do I get out of it?"
"You can kill me. I promise I will never attack you. So please, just let my child live...!!"
She was truly a strong woman in many ways. She could easily kill the witch right in front of her. But she was weak. She was infinitely weak in front of her own child. She sat there, trembling.
"Huh! You're a parent, and your own child is dying right in front of you. You, the best in the world, are trembling and kneeling before a witch, lol?"
"This is the child I gave birth to because my stomach hurt... You don't know how much I love this child... I would give up everything if I could save this child right now. Even my life!!"
"It's so sad lol. Okay, I'll save the child. But you have to die. And to save this child, I need the witch's blood. And the witch's power, of course. If this child lives, it will have the witch's power. It'll be the same as becoming a witch. Are you still going to save this child?"
" ...of course. "
Sigh -
"Okay. I hope you don't regret it."
The witch approached the child, cast a spell, and fed her blood into the child's mouth.
Then, a pattern appeared and disappeared on the child's forehead. Then, little by little, the child's cold, chilled body began to warm up.
Suddenly - !
" Jooah!! "
"Mom!!!" Namjoon, Taehyung
“Shouldn’t we at least say our final goodbyes?”
The witch cast a spell on her and disappeared.
"Our Se-ah... We have to protect her well... Okay? She's such a lovely child who deserves to be loved and raised..."
"Jua...no...!!"
"I'm sorry. I'm leaving you like this. I believe you can raise these beautiful children well without me... hehe"
"Mom, no!! Don't die, Mom!! Aaaah - " Taehyung
"Mom... no... no... please!" Namjoon
Side, side -
"I love you, my son. I'm so sorry...ㅎ You have to grow up strong, right? Don't get sick... Take good care of Se-ah... Don't make Dad suffer... Okay?"
"Don't go, Mom!"
She handed Sea over to Seokjin. And then,
Thud -
" Jooah!!! "
"Ugh... I'm sorry... I'm sorry... I love you and I love you again...
hi.... "
Her eyes slowly closed.
"Ahh... Jooah... Jooah... ya..."
What wouldn't she do for her child? She ultimately died saving her own daughter, Sea.
.
.
.
.
"Ah...ah..."
Knock, knock
Sea shed tears. Her heart ached so much it felt like it was being torn apart. She knew she wasn't the real Sea, but the separation was excruciatingly painful.
"I didn't bring you here to make you cry..."
Jeong Ho-seok kept his mouth shut and hugged Se-ah.
"What should I do... I feel sorry for my mom...!"
Tears flowed incessantly. I never thought I was loved by anyone. But my mother sacrificed herself for me. She chose death to save me.
I understand everything. Why do you hate me?
I hated Sea. She hated that she, who was destined to die, was brought back to life by her mother's life. She was going to die young, without receiving any love, so what was the point of living a few more years? She'd rather just let herself die... She'd rather...
"Wake up. Crying like that won't change anything. You would have made that choice too. You would have done anything to save your dead child. That's what a parent is. That's what a mother is..."
"Ugh...ugh...ah..."
If you don't love your child, you're not a parent. As a parent, you sacrifice for your child and never regret that choice. Parents are the greatest beings in the world.
