TILLY had gone through all kinds of physical pain in all her lives combined.

Having said that, she had to say that getting burned alive by the Hellfire was in the Top 3.

It was ironic since she was supposed to be immune to flame.

And here she was, crying like a baby after getting burned.

Crab mallet, I’m gonna kill you.

Tilly didn’t expect that the crab mallet could hear her thoughts in that situation, so she was surprised when it spoke in her mind.

<“I’m really sorry, Supreme! I didn’t expect the Hellfire to react this way!”>

How did this damn thing didn’t expect the Hellfire to hurt?!

But I guess I’m the fool for listening to you.

<“No, you did the right thing! Please endure it more, Supreme! You’re almost there!”>

Almost where?!

<“You’re absorbing the Hellfire well! Just open your eyes!”>

Hmm?

Tilly didn’t even realize that she had her eyes closed all this time.

After all, she was too focused on the burning sensation all over her body.

When she opened her eyes, she was surprised by what greeted her.

First of all, the Hellfire may appear black— but the “light” surrounding it was still blinding.

Hence, Tilly had to squint.

But even in that state, she could vaguely see what was happening.

Yes, she felt like she was getting burned alive.

However, the hand and the arms that were holding the crab mallet were still white and smooth. Meaning, she could only feel the heat. But the Hellfire wasn’t burning her literally.

That’s a relief.

Lastly, Tilly saw the crab mallet absorbing the Hellfire that was getting smaller and smaller as time passed by.

Oh, crab mallet, you’re working hard!

<“Of course, I am!”>

AS SOON as Winter regained consciousness, his mind started playing the events that had transpired as if they were some movie scenes.

Yes, he learned what movies were from her mother’s memories.

He couldn’t open his eyes yet, but his brain was already working hard.

Winter met the Julian of the past when he slipped through time.

The Plane is truly a strange place.

Anyway, he also remembered suddenly fainting?

“You’re awake?”

Hmm?

Winter immediately got up when he saw the familiar face that he wouldn’t mistake for someone else when he opened his eyes. “Dad!”

Yes, it was his father.

But he forgot that he wasn’t in the right “timeline.”

No wonder his father looked stunned.

And then Winter noticed Julian standing behind their father with a shocked look on his face.

Oh, I messed up.

“Dad?” Kiho— no, he was probably Kalel Moonchester in this timeline. “Did you just call me ’Dad?’ That’s an unfamiliar word.”

Right.

This world is older than our world.

Moreover, the people in this place thought Winter was a commoner.

So, I should behave like one.

Thank goodness he got his acting skills from his mother.

Winter immediately kneeled in front of Kalel Moonchester— his forehead and knees touching the floor. “Please forgive my rudeness, my noble lord.”

As the son of the Supreme Fire Mage and the Black Serpent, he had never knelt to anyone.

However, he didn’t mind doing it for his father.

“I had a dream about my father, so I had mistaken the noble lord as him,” Winter said. Now even his voice sounded like he was about to cry. Well, to be fair, he really wanted to cry because he missed his father. Hence, he didn’t stop himself from feeling that way. “Please have mercy on me, my noble lord.”

Kalel Moonchester fell silent.

Now Winter was worried.

If I remember correctly, my father during this time was completely under the bad emperor’s control. What will I do if my father turns out to be an evil guy in this era? And what if he suddenly kills me because a commoner dares to call him ’dad?’

Winter shook in fear.

“F-Father, please forgive the child,” Julian pleaded. It was obvious that he was scared of his own father, but he still begged to save Winter. “I was the one who brought him here, so he’s my responsibility. I promise that this won’t happen again, so please let it slide this time.”

Aww.

Winter was touched to know that Julian still got his back even in this era.

And to think that they believe I’m a commoner…

“Child, raise your head.”

Of course, Winter immediately did as he was told.

To be fair, he wanted to see this unfamiliar appearance of his father, after all.

Kalel Moonchester, a god of this time, had long and silver hair. His eyes were red. And, overall, he looked apathetic.

It’s so different from the father I know, and yet I still want to get close to him.

But Winter had to be careful.

After all, he remembered something important.

Kyro, my grandfather, used to possess my father during this era. But, right now, my gut feeling is telling me that this Kalel Moonchester is my father.

“Child, answer my question truthfully.”

Winter gulped before he nodded politely. “Of course, my noble lord.”

“What exactly does “dad” mean?” Kalel Moonchester asked curiously. “I do get what it means based on the context that you have given. However, this is the first time I’ve heard that word be used when referring to one’s father. Where did you come from, child? Is that a word that’s only used in your village?”

Hmm.

To be honest, Winter wasn’t good at lying.

And he really didn’t want to lie to his father.

But I need to protect my identity until I gain their trust.

“Child, don’t even think about lying,” Kalel Moonchester warned him, his red eyes glowing. “I can tell if you’re telling the truth or not. And once you lie to me, you know what will happen to you.”

Oh, no.

His father’s threat gave Winter a chill down his spine.

However, he didn’t waver.

Omitting some details in a truth doesn’t make it a lie, right?

“I don’t know what this place is, my noble lord,” Winter said calmly. “For have I come from the future.”

Here goes nothing.
