Chapter 139

'Where am I right now? I am supposed to be reading those weird documents in Favian secret laboratory. So, what kind of hidden thing that actually hidden in those documents? How can I go back?' Ludger wonders searching for a clue to the current situation. 

It was a beautiful place like a small hill and the building that similar to the place where the first Duke Kadaklan's body was buried in the cemetery in the centre of the hill. The surrounding was like a flower field that seemed to be glittering as the sunlight touched them. Ludger is able to hear the sound of birds chirping, the wind blowing gently and something that sounded like a cicada in this place. It was really relaxing to listen to this melodious sound. 

Although it was a beautiful place, but Ludger didn't try to enjoy it and get closer to the building that seemed different from its surroundings. As Ludger gets closer, he is able to see more clearly the building. It is really similar to the building that Ludger saw in the cemetery before. 

Ludger gets closer to the building door. But before he was able to touch the door, the door suddenly opened. 

"Hi, I think it was right if I said long time no see. Well, but our condition seems to be reversed now. Hahaha, what kind of appearance is that? Why are you dressing like a boy? I think you should be as beautiful as Shia because you are her successor, right?" The person with silver hair and golden eyes that I am familiar with appeared from inside the building. 

"Long time no see, Sir Kadaklan. It was quite surprising to be able to see you again with this method. But where is this? I'm afraid the people who were with me before will feel panic because I have disappeared." Ludger calmly said and asked about the location of this place.

"It was not a real place. No, this place actually exists in the past. We are currently in a mental space that I created as our fate seems to be connected after Shia introduced you to me. Your real body is sleeping in the real world right now... You are right, they must be worried about your condition right now. But I have some important information that I need to tell you. It was important if you want to change your future." Kadaklan said with a serious face.

"What is it? I really need to know about it!" Ludger quickly asks.

It was something that Ludger always looking for. As Ludger hear that his real body is alright and only sleeping, he was thinking that the people in the laboratory won't be too panic about his condition. Ludger is quite ignorant when it is something related to himself. It happened because he only focusing himself with avoiding the death flags.

"It will take a while for me to explain it to you, is it alright?" Kadaklan asked for Ludger's consent. 

"Of course! It was something that I had been always looking for all this time. Do you know how much stress I have from knowing that I will die in the future?!" Ludger loudly answer.

"Well, it seems to be quite troublesome...But did you peek at your future? You know the heavy consequences for that, right?" Kadaklan frowns as he hears what Ludger said.

"I just suddenly know about my future after my second birthday. I can't tell you about the details. But I think it was different from what Shia's done before. In fact, I have been able to change some of my future but still, I was worried about the horrible fate that I might face in the future. I just want to enjoy my life peacefully." Ludger said in a proud tone.

"Hahaha..., you are really something. I never thought that you would have different or it was the opposite of what Shia thought. Maybe it was related to the messy and tangled fate you have. It looks like someone is trying to change your fate and turn it into something like that. But who would be able to do something like that?" Kadaklan becomes curious about Ludger's fate.

"What do you mean? Is something wrong with my fate? Can you also tell me what you are seeing? Please let me know. I really need it to save myself." Ludger pleaded. 

"You really treasure your life, unlike someone I know... Alright, please follow me inside. It will take a while to explain it to you." Kadaklan entered the building and prepared a blackboard to help him explain everything to Ludger.

"Right, if I remember correctly, your name was Renneshia, right?" Kadaklan suddenly remembered something and asked to make sure.

"That's right." Ludger, or rather Renneshia nodded to Kadaklan's sudden question. 

"Interesting. Renneshia and Shia... What a strange coincidence. Then could you show me your real appearance? I am really interested in your real appearance from a long time ago. You only need to think about your appearance as it was a mental space." Kadaklan explains with a gaze that looks like someone who is watching rare or unique animals.

Ludger thinks about Renneshia's appearance and becomes Renneshia like what Kadaklan said. As Kadaklan saw Renneshia's appearance, he was surprised that her appearance was really similar to the woman who was his first love. But after carefully looking at her appearance, he found a great difference between the two of them. While both of them have similar appearances, but he finds out that the person in front of him is too expressionless.

'This is really interesting. Although both of them have a similar appearance, it was as if the other was the opposite. Renneshia seems to treasure her life and is afraid of death, unlike Shia who will accept whatever fate she has to face. But Renneshia is acting more normal. If only she also treasured her life like this even only a bit.' Kadaklan thought as he looked at Renneshia with a sad expression.

"Why are you making such a face? Do you want me to return my appearance to a boy? I know you have a crush on Shia before. But you step back because you know that your elder brother also loves her, right? Don't make that confused expression because you know that I was only able to enter this space because I saw your love letter...Huh?!" Renneshia harshly told him because for some reason she felt that Kadaklan's gaze was quite rude.

Kadaklan hides his face using his hands. Renneshia was able to see how red his face was. He seems to be extremely embarrassed when Renneshia point out what he wrote in that letter. 

Besides Renneshia really read that strange love letter that he seems to be writing for Shia who had died for years. It was more like a confession that he wrote down in that letter. Renneshia thought that Kadaklan was unexpectedly a hopeless romantic person. Everything that he wrote in that letter was so sweet that might cause the reader to get diabetes from reading it. 

But as someone who writes romance (bromance) stories, Renneshia only uses it to give her some inspiration to add it to her stories. She has actually said it because she wanted to know how he would react. But unexpectedly he becomes afraid of her. But right now Renneshia is unable to waste her time and needs to make him explain it immediately. 

"I will stop teasing you and let's quickly explain everything to me." Renneshia clapped her hand to stop Kadaklan who became too embarrassed because of the talk about the letter that he had written for giving an important clue to Shia's successor. 

"Please stop it... Here, I will start the explanation. Ahem. In my eyes, I always saw other people's fates as similar to threads. Every person has a different shape, length, thickness and number. It was depending on how they would live their lives. The difference in each fate will cause a different future but there is also some fate without a clear ending. Like your fate. I will draw it so you can imagine it." Kadaklan began his explanation and started to draw something on the blackboard. 

The first picture was something that looks like a straight bundle of threads and it will stop after some length. But the second one looks like a messy thread as if it was tied by someone. It was so messy so no one able to see the end of it. The strange thing is the messy part seems making a weird loop.

"Is...Is that a messy picture is how my fate looks like in your eyes? Have you ever seen something like that before?" Renneshia felt confused as she saw that picture.

"Oh, about this, it was my first time to see something like this. Do you know how interested I was before when I saw your fate before? At first, it was normal and looked similar to the other fate. But then it began to change and into something like this so I can't see the end. Shia's fate also changed when she saw her fate. I tried to help her but she refused to accept my help and...you seem to know her end, right?" Kadaklan explained but as he remembered about what happened to Shia, he felt sad.

"Then what do you able to see from my fate? Does it mean that my fate hasn't had a definite end? And what do you mean that my fate suddenly changed?" Renneshia finds something disturbing in Kadaklan's explanation.
