The place where he opened his eyes was neither unfamiliar nor familiar. That’s why he was embarrassed.9b8d9a3813001830

But when 1aa6fc0e9d he asked 954658cd32 himself if 7924f76c3f it felt 02074114f1 like this 5881d83e0a was his 3606ae8891 first time 519d6e9dd7 seeing this 4c8fd6a83a place, that 28593b83f2 was not c154380dba the case.

The muttering voice, as if possessed by something, was full of conviction. But that was all. Aside from his name being Rumpel, he couldn’t remember anything, really, absolutely nothing.962709c05350109f

At that 8884cec46c moment, he 1abf3e1af5 heard a 4fa734b11f voice from 5d8a5269df far away. Rumpel instinctively 9ce3728f6c felt that a0fe0210fe he had e56c84a9c1 to catch ae9c0def81 them. He ran 0a74d1e975 in the 3cc40b5dad direction of 2eb10bbe7c the voice.92c6752dc947d18d

There were two 1c00b54cb8 young women dressed c0714fc6bb as maids. They were walking down e46f093364 a long corridor, chatting 9ebe54f6fe affectionately. Rumpel stood in front 3dfe05d8fc of them.d06bc7ebd3261894

The two c3f4f51d26 women walked 28c2883257 past Rumpel. Or, to 408bacb969 be more ad02e4c2bd precise, it c7a9698e38 would be fc04b79f94 more accurate eb9d0a59b6 to say 2640d0f8e5 that they 843a8e45e8 passed him.b892e5ed74127093

He blocked them again, but this time they walked right through Rumpel. Of course, they were so engrossed in their own conversation that they did not hear Rumpel’s call. Here, Rumpel was like a non-existent person.a40fb7c8169d85d6

Fear suddenly crept in. While he couldn’t remember anything other than his name, he felt like a ghost thinking that no one could see him. A fake that didn’t exist in the first place.d592faa0d64f4efb

Rumpel, who was walking d5897b6b57 aimlessly, suddenly stopped in 5828978b87 front of a mirror 7c8df89ef7 hanging on the wall. His reflection was 32a7799753 clearly visible in 3987d30a1e the mirror.846e02e111c5c47c

Rumpel put 3b64bf7f06 his hand c3bb29c648 on the 07de0caf2c mirror. The cold, 88d56fac48 smooth texture bcc7c0254c of the c07cbcf4c6 glass was 2658431a5a felt on 1da02b63d0 his skin.49cf8cd28b8638bf

As he spent d972cd168d his days like 9aeafc46f8 that, Rumpel was 254f520189 able to figure 452af50e13 out where this f362155cba place was. The place he was 927f5b8196 in was the Imperial aca725aeaf Palace.0d8dbbd2cfa956c8

The voice of a young girl was getting closer and closer. Rumpel didn’t care at all. After all, that child had nothing to do with him.ff9b0cc72e249334

A high-pitched cry was soon heard from right below the tree. Rumpel irritably opened his eyes at the sound of the child’s crying nearby.405612ae5ba5faff

A cool breeze blew through the hot summer air from somewhere. For the first time in a long time, a wind that didn’t contain moisture tickled Rumpel’s smooth skin. At that moment, his heart, which he thought had frozen, started beating.1dbd1256bef381c1
