Chapter 188 To change the future

Translator Yue

Rihannans complex thoughts naturally looked into what was soon to happen.

In a month, there would be an incident in Chrichton. A highly contagious virus would spread among the people. She knew that would happen, but she didnt do anything since she knew Dimitri and her uncle would rise victorious.

But, what would Igor do with this information?

If itd been him, he would have stopped the death of many members of the nobility. That was the most effective method.

Rihannan had changed many letters with Dimitri in her past life, and knew the angst he felt. His heart was torn after spilling so much blood in his path to acquire the throne. Hed seen the deaths of many close friends because of that. And hed never wanted the crown. Hed wanted his freedom, but it seemed as though some invisible force was constantly pushing him towards the throne.

She knew that, but didnt lift a finger. She was going to let the same events to happen all over again. But now, shed realized her selfishness. Deep inside, she wanted him to suffer throught the hardships and maybe unconsciously, she wanted him to have more power as King, rather than a noble.

Rihannan couldnt stay with her arms crossed and allow fate to repeat itself again. Maybe in changing the future shed cause unwanted results to unfold, but she wouldnt allow Dimitri to fall into despair because of her own fear and selfishness.

After leaving the Queens Palace, Rihannan went to the central office.

Your Majesty?

Upon reaching the central offices door, Basil, who was just leaving, was astounded by Rihannans sudden visit. This was their first encounter after last times incident.

Rihannan didnt dare look him in the eye. She avoided his gaze altogether.

Is His Majesty inside? she asked.

Basil moved his head up and down many times. Yes, hes there.

Then, please, inform him that Ive arrived and

No need for that! Please, enter, my Queen!

Basil opened the door.

Then, Ill go bring some tea right away! he said, happily.

That wont be necessary. We are just going to talk. Please stay outside for a while.

Basil smiled broadly upon hearing her words.

Of course, of course. Ill make sure nobody comes in. Please, relax and talk all you want.

Merrily hopping, Basil soon left. It seemed liked hed forgotten Rihannan had threatened his life not long ago. LooKing at Basils cheerful aura, Rihannan felt as though a heavy rock was lifted off her head.

Breathing deeply, Rihannan entered the office.

Igor stood up.

Rihannans glance focused on the desk, where the blurred memories of Igor embracing Leticia started spiraling like hurricanes.

Igor quickly distanced himself from the desk and approached Rihannan.

Rihannan, why are you here?

Theres something I need to say to you.

Then have a seat. We

Theres no need. I wont take long. Ill leave after saying what Ive come to tell you.

Hearing her cold tone, Igor didnt dare say anything more.

Rihannan

Im sure you know what will happen in around a month. Rihannan opened her lips, avoiding his face. I wish to stop the deaths of the members of Chrichtons royal family. I wish to send Dimitri clues of what will happen, before the tragedy unfolds.

Clues? Then, you mean

Ill tell him the truth about the sanctuarys water, where an old ritual will be held. If its Dimitri, Im sure hell find a way to avoid the virus from spreading.

If her plan was successful, then shed prevent the deaths of the royal family members. Even though shed hoped the Crown Prince would fall victim of the tragedy Dimitris freedom was more important. If she could guarantee his happiness, nothing else mattered.

The sanctuary is a holy place for Chrichtons royalty. Its a place where no one besides the direct lineage of the royal family can access to. The fact that I know of that secret place means that, if Im not careful, theyll harbor doubts about me. As you know, Dimitri has been previously accused of bad behavior and conspiracy against Chrichton. They even put him in jail for a while.

ThinKing back on those hurtful moments, Rihannan tightly grabbed her skirt.

I went through many humiliations, and I do not wish to go through that process all over again. I hope you can put your signature besides mine in a letter Ill be sending to Dimi. If you sign as well, they will not think Im babbling nonsense. Im sure of that.

After saying all shed come to say, Rihannan awaited for his answer.

There was silence for a while.

Rihannan lifted her face and stared at Igor. He had a complicated expression, as though it was hard for him to answer. She came to the conclusion that Igor wanted to deny her request.

I see. Then, Ill solve this matter on my own

Theres no need for that.

Rihannan, who was walKing towards the door, quickly turned around. Her gaze went straight to him. She looked at him and asked, incredulously what do you mean by that?

you dont need to do anything at all he replied.

What are you trying to say? You want me to do nothing and let them die?

No Im saying theres no need. The event that worries you will not happen.

Rihannan frowned. She couldnt understand a word hed said.

Are you saying the tragic event that took the life of many members of the royal family will not take place?

Yes.

It definitely happened in the past. Why are you so sure it wont happened now?

The incident had to relation to Arundell. Both Igor and her had reincarnated, changing events, but she doubted their combined decisions could cause that big of an impact in the future.

Please, explain to me why you think that.

After her repeated questions, Igor dropped his head and sighed. He held his forehead with one hand. A moment later, he spoke, slowly.

It wasnt a contagious disease. It was my mother.

Rihannans ice blue eyes reflected Igors pained expression.

My mother poisoned the water in Chrichtons sanctuary to get rid of the royal family Igor closed his eyes as he remembered the events from his past life.
