His Mischievous Time-Traveler: How To Capture A Celebrity Husband?

"Let go of her." Kwon Yoori grabs her niece's shoulder. "How dare you touch my woman?"

She doesn't like speaking this way about another female. But, Kyuri is her niece. She wants to keep her alive as long as she can. She also has to act because she claimed Kyuri as her woman yesterday. What kind of general would let his claimed woman get bullied by another man? Wait, Kyuri is the one who went to get bullied. Aish! This girl is too troublesome.

Thankfully, Li Jun let go of the girl. Kyuri frowns deeply and yells, "Height of pretense! Aunt, he is from my timeline. He is the timekeeper who will kill me in the future. Can you feed him to wolves?"

Kwon Yoori glares at her.

"Hmph!" The girl takes the hint and storms off to the tent. Kwon Yoori feels like she is going to have a headache. Li Jun doesn't wear his mask again. He blinks his eyes at her.

"I can't understand the language of the silent ones." She points her index finger at him. "Nobody is allowed to touch her. She can't be harmed. Do you get it?"

No reply. She doesn't waste any more time. She takes long strides to the tent. Her niece is sitting on the bed with a grumpy face.

"What is wrong with you, Kyuri?" She clenches her fists. "How could you do that to him?"

"Aunt, he is from my timeline... His name is Kang Si An," Her niece tells her adamantly. "He is fooling you all."

"Why can't two people in two different time have the same face?" Kwon Yoori is surprised to see that her niece is this dumb. "Kang Si An can be this Li Jun's reincarnation. They can have the same soul and the same body in a different timeline, but they aren't the same. Li Jun would kill you without a second thought and he isn't a timekeeper. You are lucky that he didn't cut off your wrist for taking his mask away."

Reincarnation? Shit.

Why didn't I think of that? They looked so similar that I thought... Argh! I hold my head. Why did I meet Kang Si An's reincarnation back in time? I feel like I am being haunted by his soul. Damn! What did I do? I am lucky that Li Jun couldn't understand what I said.

"Let's calm down." My aunt is taking long breaths. "I can make it work."

"Make work what?" I ask her, worried.

"The fifth prince is arriving here after a few days." My aunt wipes away the beads of sweat on her forehead. "You are the only woman here."

"Um... you are also the woman." I point out.

"Nobody knows that." She frowns at me. "Don't say it again. Don't talk at all. Pretend that you are stupid. The fifth prince is a cunning devil who is born after 100 devils were sacrificed. I am in this situation because of him. You must act like my woman and don't ever fall for his charm. Don't get seduced. Don't attract Li Jun's attention. Don't create trouble for me."

I lower my head. I don't want to create trouble. I don't want to leave her here either.

"Aunt, can I help you leave this place in any way?"

There is a long silence. She lays herself down on the bed, sad. "I will heal if I find a raw time crystal. Only timekeepers have them. They create special prisons for bad time-travelers like me using the processed time crystals. Getting the raw time crystals might help you gain control your abilities too. But, getting those crystals..." She sighs. I lay down beside her. There is only one bed and we are sharing it.

If Kang Si An isn't awakened, doesn't it mean that I can find some way to get my hands on the time crystal using him? If I can get the time crystals, I can control my time traveling ability and heal my aunt too.

I have to wait until I go back in my time.

In the last few days, my aunt left the camp many times to take care of the invaders. She is cool. If I had my phone, I would have taken her pictures. Sometimes, she would come back with wounds. It's scary to see her covered in blood. She would let me treat her wounds. She would ask me about her family. Since she is another time-traveler like me, I can tell her everything.

Li Jun's eyes follow me everywhere. Since then, he didn't wear his mask. He wouldn't come close to me, but he wouldn't stop staring at me either. It feels like he can see through my soul. I am clearly afraid of him after hearing about his bloody past from aunt. His entire family has been executed by assassins sent by his uncle during a power struggle when he was only seven. The assassins didn't kill him, but they killed everyone in front of him. Since then, he never talked.

In the battleground, he is unstoppable. His nickname is Master Death. Comparing Li Jun and Kang Si An, Kang Si An is like a kitten in front of a tiger. They might have the same soul, but their personalities are too different.

I try to imagine Li Jun eat hog the sweets as Kang Si An does. I laugh to myself, alone. I see Li Jun creasing his forehead. Can he guess that I am laughing at him? Shit. Is he a telepath?

"The fifth prince is here." I hear the announcement. Now, what do I do when I am facing a real prince?
