ALEXMy eyes opened with the morning sunlight. "Is it morning already?" The bed was so nice and comfortable that I didn't want to get out. "Tessarion, where are you?" I couldn't feel the presence of my golden dragon in my shadow. "I'm outside, with Laena," he said. "Laena?" I asked in surprise. I got out of bed and looked out the window. Laena and Tessarion were sunbathing together under the trees. Tessarion was lying down, and Laena was leaning against him, reading a book. "It's good to see you two getting along," I said. "Yes, Laena is very kind and sweet. I feel sorry for her that she's going to marry someone like you," he teased. "She's very lucky to have such a handsome husband like me," I replied. Tessarion laughed. "Does this mean you gave up on Helena?" he asked. "No," I answered directly. Tessarion remained silent for a while after my answer, then asked: "What will you do then?" "I'll marry her too," I said. "You're right. After all, you're a noble and you can ta

ALEXI returned home to find my mother waiting, most likely seeking details about how my meeting went. I went into the living room and sat down to rest after my long trip, letting her know that I had finally managed to make it back. My mother took a sip of her tea and inquired with curiosity about how things had gone. I replied that it turned out much better than I had anticipated, as I had mentally prepared for someone far more arrogant and cold. Initially, I assumed that since she was a Princess, she would look down on people and act distantly at all times.My mother made no attempt to hide her excitement and continued asking the expected questions about my impression of her and what she was like. I explained to her that Laena seemed curious, sweet, and clearly knew how to fight. Smiling, my mother remarked that she had evidently exceeded my expectations, affectionately adding that we might grow to love each other as time went on. I met her words with a neutral tone, replying with a

 ALEXI had successfully convinced Albert to create a clone of me, allowing me to conceal myself and remain hidden for a while. Plucking a strand of hair from my head, Albert explained that obtaining my DNA sample was the crucial first step, after which he began chanting a series of incantations. Magical runes began to materialزه and swirl heavily around him. I found myself wondering about these strange words—could this be ancient magic? Ancient magic has been lost since antiquity and is not known to exist in the present era; it was strictly forbidden due to the immense, devastating power it yields compared to ordinary magic.Albert uttered a bitter curse as the spell collapsed. He scratched his chin in utter disbelief, noting that this had never happened to him before. I quietly speculated whether the failure was tied to my nature as a reincarnated soul. Suddenly, time ground to a complete halt, and a distinct, familiar laughter echoed through the air

 Alex:"Since you know that, you must realize I can't stay here any longer."I nodded in understanding:"I know, but it's just so early..."There were so many things I wanted to show him, but he had to leave.Alex (with a charming smile):"I promise to stay longer next time I visit.""Really?"Alex:"Don't worry, I've learned how to sneak away now, so I can use this method to come back."Ophir suddenly stood up and said:"Follow me then."I asked in surprise:"Where are we going?"Ophir (looking at Alex):"For the second reason the Young Dragon came here.""The second reason?"Ophir and Alex looked at each other, leaving me completely clueless about what they were planning.Ophir:"Follow me."Ophir led us toward my late father's study."What are we doing here?"Ophir (calmly):"You will see soon, My Queen."We entered the room, and I looked around. We a

We entered the portal and returned to the continent of Edeya, right by the Lake of the Dragon's Eye. Albert was sitting under the tree as usual, and we landed beside him.ALBERT (scolding)"Brat, where have you been? You've been gone for two days!"ALEX"I'm back now, I don't understand why you're so angry!"I looked around and asked:"Where is my clone?"ALBERT"I called it as soon as I saw you, it'll be here in a moment."A portal opened beside us and my clone stepped out.ALEX (surprised)"Did you give it a relic to open portals?"ALBERT"Yes, otherwise it would have taken longer to arrive, putting you in danger."My clone glowed, turned into particles, and vanished. Discovering something so wonderful was truly great; now I could keep eyes off me wherever I went.ALBERT (lying down in the tree's shade)"Alright, off you go now. I'm going to get some sleep."ALEX"Hey, be
