The Chosen One Was Me, Not You

{What was missing}

Theodore turned around. It was about to leave now.

“Where are you going?”

“I don’t know. I’m just going to walk somewhere.”

The Duke of Skyroad asked Theodore, who had no destination.

“Then how about coming to my house?”

At the invitation given by the Duke of Skylord, Theodore looked at him in bewilderment and asked.

“Mister, are you serious?”

Theodore was looking at the Duke of Skyroad in disbelief.

As a young boy, unlike today’s Theodore, he couldn’t completely hide his expression, so his emotions were easily revealed.

“Yes, I mean it. How are you? Would you like to come to my house?”

“…What am I going to do?”

Theodore asked what he wanted him to do when he went to the Duke of Skyroad.

“Hmm, yes. Are you thinking of being adopted?”

“Adoption? To Mr. Me?”

“Yes. If you have nowhere else to go, let’s stay at my house.”

Even as the Duke of Skyroad, he must have felt strange why he was inviting me like this.

With his daughter, he must have been worried about the dark atmosphere of the boy who saved his life.

Even though such a young boy had saved his life, the aura he emanated from him would still be in his eyes.

Yuria thought that she might be like that.

That was the time.

‘This?’

Yuria was about to say something, but she saw that all the knights of the Duke of Skyroad stopped moving.

She recognized the identity of this power when everyone except Theodore and the Duke of Skylord stopped moving, and even the birds flying in the sky seemed to stop.

‘I didn’t stop. Time is passing slowly!’

As far as she knew, only Theodore could use this power.

Then, was it Theodore who used his strength from the memories of the past?

Did he use this power again as he did when he dealt with the monsters earlier?

‘No.’

It wasn’t Theodore.

He was also looking around, and when he saw it, it seemed that unlike before, this power was not used by him.

A man who looked just like Theodore now, wearing white armor, appeared with a smile.

“This power…is your work?”

When the Duke of Skylord asked a question, the man nodded.

“Yes.”

After answering that, he slightly lowered his head.

“Sorry to startle you, but I had no choice but to tell you this because I didn’t have time.”

Sensing that there was no hostility towards him and that he was just trying to convey something, the Duke of Skylord nodded his head.

“You must have come to tell me something important?”

He seemed to have just realized that the man had no intention of harming him.

It was because I was convinced that there was no need for such a cumbersome performance because, according to common sense, if a person with that kind of power had tried to hurt him, he could have done it easily.

“Yes, let me introduce myself first. I am Theodore Skylord. I am from a world with a different history than this one.”

“Sky Road?”

Yuria watched with bated breath as the Duke of Skyroad questioned her.

As Theodore said, it was really important.

“Yes, and the true Chosen.”

Theodore interrupted him.

“You are the future me. No, since you came and intervened like this, you must be the future me with a different history?”

“Yes.”

At Theodore’s words, the future Theodore nodded.

The Duke of Skyroad looked at it and said.

“Looking at your name, it seems you’ve been adopted into our family?”

“Yes, Father.”

Theodore of the future called the Duke of Skyroad his father.

“However, since the important turning point is right now, I have to intervene. At this rate, the world will be at an end.”

“An important turning point?”

Theodore of the future spoke after seeing Theodore and the Duke of Skylord alternately.

“I don’t want to talk about it for a long time, so I’m going to summarize it right away. First of all, in this situation, I initially rejected my father’s proposal.”

Theodore nodded at that.

In fact, it seemed that he had no intention of accepting the Duke of Skylord’s offer right away.

“But it was a choice I will always regret. If I had been adopted earlier by the Duke of Skylord, I would have been able to curb the Helmintos’ movement to bring about the end of this world.”

“Helmint, are those monsters Helminto?”

“Yes. I know the details at this time, so you can ask me about that part at this time.”

Perhaps because of lack of time, he postponed the explanation of Helminto to Theodore, but he continued.

“If I say too many things, it can get twisted. In order not to regret it, and for the sake of the world, it is absolutely necessary for me in the past to enter the Duke of Skyroad as soon as possible. And… My engagement to Yuria Arsane is a must. You should.”

Yuria was slightly surprised when her own name was mentioned.

“Yuria Arsane? You mean the eldest daughter of the Arsene duchy?”

“Yes. She must be engaged to her and her.”

Theodore asked at that.

“Why should that girl and I get engaged? Can’t you say that too?”

“Yes. I can’t tell you about her now. But you should always keep an eye on her, at least before her betrothal. The Helmintos will be hunting her and her sister, Lilia Arcein. And Judith Skye.” Lord… Judy too.”

“You mean my daughter?!”

When his daughter was mentioned, the Duke of Skyroad was startled and reacted urgently.

It looked like he was getting goosebumps at the thought that his beloved daughter was being targeted by such monsters.

“Yes. The reason why today’s attack was aimed at my father was ultimately to use my father’s body in a terrible way to target Judy.”

“Hmm, it’s so shocking that it’s hard to believe, but I can’t help but believe it.”

The Duke of Skyroad was quick to grasp the situation and quickly accepted this story.

Looking at her appearance, Yuria seemed to understand why the Duke of Skyroad stepped in and sealed her and Theodore’s engagement.

In fact, Yuria did not know her details during the process, but she just thought that she would take responsibility as well as the benefits she enjoyed as the eldest daughter of the Duke of Arsein, a marriage arranged by her family. Had been accepted.

But now she knows more about the process.

“Since Judy is the successor to Saint Serapia, they will target her.”

Somewhere in the future Theodore, who said that, felt anguish.

“It’s complicated. Suddenly, the future me said this.”

Theodore had no doubt that the man in front of him was himself in the future.

He would be able to notice just that he had the same aura as himself.

“But what would happen to you, the future me, if you make direct contact with me like this and greatly twist history?”

At Theodore’s words, the future Theodore gave off a smile that even gave off a sense of leisure.

“The history I came from will be nothing. Then I will disappear naturally too.”

Yuria almost sat down at the sight of Theodore of the future, who calmly talked about her disappearance.

Although she was not the Theodore she knew, seeing Theodore Skylord speak of his disappearance so naturally was shocking.

“But I won’t just perish. At least I have something to give you.”

After saying that, the future Theodore handed something to Theodore, who received it.

She was a small sphere of light, and although Yuria did not know what it was, she confirmed one shocking fact.

“It’s already started.”

The future of Theodore was beginning to blur.

“Gwa, are you okay?”

The Duke of Skyroad was flustered and tried to talk to future Theodore, but the future Theodore grinned.

“It’s okay. We’ve already made up our mind.”

Theodore of the future who said that to the Duke of Skylord said to Theodore.

“I’ll be sure to ask you. The me of the past, please do it so you don’t regret it.”

“…I’ll keep that in mind.”

After hearing Theodore’s answer, the future Theodore disappeared without a trace with a satisfied smile.

Not to mention the Duke of Skyroad, who looked at that figure with a bewildered expression, and Yuria, who watched all of this while knowing that it was just her past memories, eventually collapsed as her legs gave out and Theodore helped her. Did.

“This, this is too…”

Yuria didn’t know how to describe this situation.

Why did Theodore of the future, who chose his own extinction to change history, make such a choice?

How ruined was the future he lived in?

“Everything is unknown. The future me chose not to divulge the details of the terrible situation in the future. It’s all gone.”

Yuria realized that there was something that only Theodore was missing.

She was missing herself too.

Why did Theodore start betrothal to her?

“I thought that my future self meant that I fell in love with you…That would be more than 90% of the reason, but I was missing the other 10%.”
