Just wait, Raziel. It’s my turn to make the effort. For the both of us. Well, it’s a bit unfair that I’m the only one who could remember everything we had, isn’t it? I have to make you know every bit and piece.

And Lady Vienna waited no minute and started her plan. Lady Vienna took Duke Raziel to every place they went to. From taking him to the royal ball where they had their first official public appearance to the Rogue guild to their adventures with Avelina, and little mishaps with Crown Prince Matthias. It was a long process, but slowly but surely, Lady Vienna patiently waited for the perfect time, for the time he’ll wake up and remember what they had.

Because this might be the only chance she’ll have. And if Alexis dares to mess up again in the timeline, he might even make the both of them forget that anything even happened.

Lady Vienna took him to the picnic place, where Duke Raziel first surprised her with lunch.

Duke Raziel stared at her, long and confused.

“What?” She asked, still arranging the setup of the delicious delicacies that she ask Roxy to make.

She pointed at the food, “Oh, you might want a snack?” Grabbing a cupcake, Lady Vienna placed it in his mouth, “Say ah,” and she instantly fed him.

Duke Raziel munched on the food, but not before grabbing her hand while his other hand held her chin, making her look at him directly.

Lady Vienna gulped at the intensity of his stare. “What are you…”

“You..seem to know me already…” He said, searching for her eyes. He grabbed her hand, slowly caressing it, and bit his lips, trying to think about something, “And I too…it’s like this is not the first bond we have….it felt like it has been such a long time already..”

Lady Vienna just sent a smile at him, wanting to admit that he was right, and she’s feeling so happy that her efforts are working. Finally! It wasn’t all in vain at all!

Pausing for a moment, Duke Raziel kept his stare at her as the leaves fell down, the wind enveloping them, “Do I know you..before we even met?”

“Once you’ll remember everything, you’ll seize this moment perfectly.” She said removing the ring. “And once you did remember everything, please remove your mask and you can inform me.”

Duke Raziel’s eyebrows creased, “You’re always saying strange things, Vienna.”

She chuckled bitterly, “Only time will tell.”

After going back to the Duke’s residence, Vienna took it as a chance to explore around, which she didn’t get to do in the past timeframe.

The first thing she visited was the secret room, the room where Duke Raziel forbid her to go to. She has already seen how the paintings look so similar to her and looking back, it all made sense to her now.

This is because the duke had simply made this room for her in the past. It’s not because the women in the paintings look like her, it’s because it is indeed her.

The door creaked open and Duke Raziel stood by the door, his face serious, “Didn’t I tell Huxley not to let-” He stopped himself, now looking at her strangely and noticing how she and the girl in the paintings looks like her.

“They…look like you, Vienna.” He muttered in awe.

Vienna smiled sadly, Yes, it’s because it’s me.

He blinked, “I-I can’t even remember when I asked the painter to paint the woman…and I don’t know why all of them look like you…”
And days remained with her constantly giving him clues and him always asking in confusion. It was a bit difficult on her part, but what can she do? She has to endure this.
But then, the scenery changed Lady Vienna was on the edge of the cliff.
She gasped, confused at how alarmingly high the cliff was, with the witch who disguised as Avelina, Ambrosia who was grinning evilly at her. “You have no one by your side, Lady Vienna. Wondered why you went back in time? I kind of interjected in Alexis curse.”
So this is why the timeline was in chaos and she has to endure everything again. Lady Vienna gritted her teeth, “You witch again, bring me, Titus!”
Ambrosia pointed the sword at her, “Don’t worry about him, worry about your husband and yourself.”
Lady Vienna looked around, “Where is Raziel? Where did you take him? You bitch I swear-”
“You’re helpless now, Vienna.”
Gathering her strength, Lady Vienna instantly grabbed her arm and reversed their positions. Ambrosia screamed in fear, seeing how she was the one on the edge now.
“So, what do you think now?” Vienna mocked, “You forgot the part where I can fight you, filthy witch.”
Breathing deeply, the witch laughed hysterically. “Such a pity you try to fight back when you’re helpless.” And in an instant, the witch pushed her back, letting Vienna hang on the edge with her two hands supporting her whole weight. Lady Vienna could see the thick fog of smoke below, and the dead end if ever she fall.

It will be the end once her hands lose balance.
Ambrosia stepped on one of her fingers, making her yelp in pain. Her mind instantly recalled the memories. If she happens to get killed again for the second time now, will their storyline end like that?
Raziel might have already forgotten her as they made no connection with the timeframe getting in the way. to him, she is nothing now. He can’t ask Alexis to revive her again a lot of times.
“Just give up.”
