As he had been watching her all the time, he had checked where her gaze had reached, and asked, "I guessed it... because the color of the ring had changed. Is it related to the hourglass?"

'You really noticed it in the color of the ring.'

She explained, thinking that it was good to confess before it was too late.

"... yeah, I can use my power through the hourglass."

"I'm sorry, but what is your power? I've never heard of using things..."

"You're hard to believe, but I can... I can turn back five minutes, only once a day."

"...!"

Asher put his strength on his hands which wrapped around hers. In a shocking confession that she could turn back time to the past, Asher, who was listening to her, did not answer. 'Who can answer the question of knowing that the time is back?'

The ability to turn back time was more powerful and mysterious than the ability to move through space. It meant that she could dare to correct mistakes against the laws of the world and the rules God had created. For a long time, when Asher didn't answer, Aria, worried that he didn't believe her and added,

"... I would like to show you my power, like you, but I think it will be a little difficult now as I have to go to sleep for a day after returning the time. I can't sleep during the birthday party, and I'll show you later if I have a chance."

Unlike Asher, who was free to move, Aria could not specify the time, and after using her ability, she had to sleep unconditionally. The explanation changed his expression, and Aria, who quickly recognized it, asked why.

"You know something."

"... it's just a guess."

"What is that guess?"

"... I think you are not a royal family member, and there are serious side effects to your use of power."

It was exactly because she was not connected to the royal blood, and she was Violet's granddaughter, who had been recognized as a member of the royal family with the holy water alone, and unlike the real royals, she had weaker abilities and severe side effects. But it was not his responsibility to explain such a cause-and-effect relationship, so he added, except for the story of the lineage, because he did not want her to misunderstand.

"I cannot say that I am accurate because I have seen it through a secret book which has been passed down only to the successor of the imperial throne for generations, but the ability is only found in a few royal families, and rarely appears to outsiders, too. However, it's very little."

"So... if the power appears to the outsider who is not a royal family, she will have a severe side effect on her ability use."

"That's as I know it."

Aria smiled inside. It was strange and mysterious that she had the power although she was not a royal family. Her obsession with life and the vengeance against Mielle seemed to have been great, so it would have led to this ability.

She simply confessed her ability not to be wrong with Asher, but unexpectedly she got to know the truth about the power, so she thought it was better to admit it.

"By the way... if you have the ability to go back to the past, you must have regretted something, enough to change the past."

"... what do you mean?"
