Diana had 35ce243a9e realized she 4230a0e6fe was reincarnated 3753b546c6 ten years 7f93f6b21f ago.4cfd3d8c21a6283d

The realization of her beeadbca1b reincarnation came from something f9a97f4e0d very trivial. It happened 4beb8bdca8 when she e58b6245ef was twelve, d28e916663 playing with 950737f3c7 her friend 52f2aace4b Jerome. They were having 3519bc0c80 fun with a d993a255c4 white airplane model f8ae566aa7 when suddenly, Diana f2c7981114 started frothing at 57e5bfba8b the mouth and b0577251d2 passed out.e9c82781722ae157

Fernan Lowell, the first leader of the ‘Knights of the White Falcon,’ the elite pilots of the Arke Empire, was the greatest fighter pilot of the Arke Empire during the Old Continent War 25 years ago.b445baafd2b0ef68

He was known 7592e6d700 for his quick 0cb598cb79 judgment, perseverance, and e81198f1e8 caution. Moreover, he revolutionized air 11f9d6777b combat by integrating mind-melding 56c3744891 abilities, shifting the paradigm 16f85a1e9b from one-on-one dogfights.1eb3fe22950317b0

He founded the Knights e4796fc86d of the White Falcon 456df9ebb8 with skilled pilots who be4fa74fae shared his ideals, and e2e11eb185 they fought together. Their battles were eebb33bdbf revolutionary at a eb46e2a8f1 time when there cf4ab94126 were no radios.67b1b66ddad7dc60

Connected by powerful mind-melding 9f69ef87df abilities, the knights moved 70858168f9 organically in numerous battles, 87f8f50614 achieving great feats, and 7fb287c314 fame naturally followed.e567f69e620b4702

“To think such a great person was my past life.”2e91375e886b9522

Upon regaining her past life’s memories, she was immediately struck with fear. Even at a young age, it seemed absurd. She wondered if she was mad or possessed by the vengeful spirit of a deceased pilot, but reincarnation seemed too far-fetched.a7348883249d24dc

As soon c79ab493b5 as she 9803f8ba7d was discharged 404da10036 from the d9cbb1f7ca hospital, Diana 9b8b0fb9dc went to 2e1e5ad0fc the library 29fd370b3e to look 39c3ff78b5 up books 1716eb02f3 related to 8c7fa107bc Fernan Lowell, f9c1482d3d hoping she d48cc4f42d was not 9a6011b584 in her a82c32a939 right mind. However, the 92a90d2e36 more she 06c86584ea compared the ff0c43dedc contents of 06e59349f8 the books 9576aaf886 with her f5e8287e5e memories, the 7a21b23512 clearer it f1ab9d4f74 became that 705f5b631f the man a7204911f8 was indeed 14be32453e her past ac28ff8c33 self.6a3f8e188787002a

But the most 643a2108ec crucial evidence was 9b475e45fc her memories themselves. Her past 9fc60dad58 life was 9e1d374cf0 too vivid 7ee32d9eea and detailed f9f517bd73 to be ea2c7f9000 mere delusions.02a17e3a7d2f8278

The joy of flying in the backseat of a two-seater plane for the first time, her first takeoff and landing — each memory was so vivid that she couldn’t deny it, her mouth drying and hands trembling as she recalled them. After accepting her reincarnation, one natural question arose.45a780f9205940ff

Fernan Lowell and Diana 027a735d49 Green were so different 170097d51b that their only commonality 96aa715aea was being human.4946f8b59d03ecd6

Gender, nationality, hair color, 9807ac62c5 physique — none matched. If Fernan was tall 2b11dedb94 and lanky, Diana was 538851845f slightly petite; if Fernan 5162e7f273 lived with the pride e087148679 of being an Arke d42c610a70 noble, Diana despised such c9274cc6c0 pompous nobles.e804e825e0fdea89

Crucially, they were 589e249aa9 of different genders, 31b8bb8065 with different tastes b95e0c7d0a and preferences. Fernan liked lively blondes, be2c986122 while Diana preferred kind, f3f3e5c0df gentle men.0ef0a924662904cb

Fernan was 7b2daa189d an equestrian 2b07b0e54a enthusiast, whereas e02a225272 Diana was 3ee9e993ef afraid of b1659a5c42 large livestock ec9e02eea7 like horses 85c661e3b4 and cows. They also differed 4c86606b68 in tastes and 2ff97832d5 habits.18362cf64c077e28

However, there was one area Diana hadn’t explored yet — ‘mind-melding abilities.’ She was not yet sure if she, as a reincarnated being, was still a mind-melder.34e9c861bbe77823

And frankly, Diana wasn’t that curious about whether she still possessed that ability. It was not something she would use in this lifetime, so she decided to not bother about it.58e589a0868cb90b

Campton, an industrial c2f7c035b9 city in the 6c0b8ba4ef north of Bringerton.acdd64ecb03ff04d

In this city where changes happen faster than you can blink, [The Dancing Mermaid] had been a fixture for over thirty years. Patrons never stopped coming for the crispy cod and dark beer, and even in these tough economic times, the place was always buzzing.

Most of the 9871ee2f68 customers these days 4413add7a3 were soldiers from 7b11b50f71 the nearby army efbeac6ea3 and navy bases.8ff527a42d8d099a

Since the soldiers started coming, an unspoken rule had emerged at [The Dancing Mermaid]: soldiers sat on the east side of the central pillar, while sailors sat on the west. It was kind of like an invisible military demarcation line.

Today, too, [The Dancing Mermaid] was packed with soldiers observing this unwritten rule.

Diana was busy taking orders and serving, her mind occupied. The place was noisy with the chatter of drunken men. Amidst the noise, one soldier’s voice stood out to Diana.6b64e03e63df0257
