Chapter 200: A Lifetime Nightmare
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
If only one country’s spy said so, it could be explained as an operation being exposed or an accident. However, if all the spies said so, this matter was worth thinking about. It was very obvious that the legendary woman definitely did not have information about many countries, and it was impossible for her to be lucky all the time. Therefore, there was only one possibility. She did have the ability to transmigrate and change the future. Otherwise, there was no way to explain her precognitive behavior. In an instant, all the countries who knew this news were in an uproar. They all wanted to get to the mysterious woman.
Maya didn’t think much of it at first. In her opinion, if she could really go back, how could someone with this ability put herself in such a passive position? She continued to live her life.
After a while, her 80-year-old grandfather suddenly looked for her and showed her something. It was a golden pill. It was very small, but it seemed to have some strange ability that could burn everything.
“Maya, this is what the legend says can return to the past. As long as we use it, we can go back a hundred years and kill all the new nobles to continue the monarchy! You’re the smartest of the children. Grandpa wants you to go back. You must have a way to tell the king of that period to listen to you, right?”
Maya looked at the thing in front of her and shook her head. She rejected it on the spot. “Grandpa, aren’t we living a good life now? This is all a choice of history. Even if we forcefully change it for a period of time, the final outcome won’t change…
“How can it not change!” Maya was interrupted. “As long as I continue to be a monarch, I won’t have to suffer so much when I’m in power. I can do anything I want! Maya, listen to Grandpa. Go back and help Grandpa, okay…”
Maya hesitated as she looked at the crazy old man in front of her. She wanted to agree, but she suddenly thought of a question. “If I go back in time, can I come back?”
Maya didn’t care about the past. She cared about the present, which she loved.
“If you could enjoy glory in the past, why would you come back? As long as you change the past, you will benefit in the future…” The old man spoke as if it was a gift from the heavens, but Maya’s heart gradually turned cold.
“Grandpa, I don’t want to go back. I think life is already very good now.”
Maya had refused. She’d thought it was over, but she’d underestimated a dying old man’s obsession with the glory of royalty.
That day was her lifelong nightmare. Her grandfather had killed her parents in front of her.
“Maya, don’t blame me. Look, as long as you go back in time, these things can be changed. I don’t want to force you, but you’re the best child in the royal family. Only you can change history. Only you can…”
That was when Maya understood. Her grandfather had gone crazy. He’d released all the resentment and indignation of his life for something so insubstantial. Then he’d gone crazy.
But Maya still didn’t agree, so her three younger brothers were locked up too.
Her grandfather, who had always been arrogant and disdainful of colluding with political parties in the past, joined forces with those political parties to force Maya to return to the past.
“Maya, if you don’t agree, everyone, including me, will die in front of you!” Maya could only compromise. Later, she learned that the activation requirement to travel to the past was death.
The limit of a mass object’s speed was the speed of light. In other words, a mass object could never exceed the speed of light. If one wanted to go back in time, the first thing they had to do was abandon their body. No one knew what would happen after that.
Maya’s second brother didn’t want her to be implicated. He said that he had seen enough of the world. If he had to die to verify it, he was willing to go. And so, the first of Maya’s brothers died. Nothing changed.
Their grandfather did not give up because of this. Instead, he thought that the second child was not capable enough and still insisted that Maya go back. The political parties had always wanted to get rid of the royal family. Of course, they were happy to watch this farce. Therefore, Maya’s third brother died to protect her.
The lives of her two loved ones did not change reality. Instead, it made it impossible to turn back. Since things had come to this, Maya decided to follow her grandfather’s wishes. She would use death to activate time travel and make a decision. If she could really transmigrate, she would die to change this outcome. But just as she was about to end her life, she lost consciousness. When she woke up again, she was already in the Land of the Fallen.
It turned out that Maya’s fourth brother had reached a consensus with his crazy grandfather and the political parties to send Maya to the Land of the
Fallen and keep her safe. He would continue the time-travel experiment at the palace until he took his last breath. He would not give up, let alone resist, as
long as Maya lived…
