Reborn: I'm A Dragon Girl With An OP System
chapter-314-2

"I see… I did rewind time for you both but only to the point of reconstructing Mother's limbs…." I sighed as I sat next to my father. He put his arm around me and hugged me.

"To think my daughter has accomplished so much in a span of a few years. You have your own noble family and are even a princess with this fancy estate. You have really made me proud. My baby girl, who was worried about being discriminated against, is now the most powerful person in the kingdom. I know from this moment on, with the things I have heard about going on, that you will be put into harm's way more than once. I just want you to promise me, for both your mother's and my sanity, that you come back alive." My father's voice trembled. I guess he was truly scared of losing me. I hugged him tightly and rested my head on his chest.

"I will do my best to always return home…."

My father's expression was not good as I got up and walked away from him. I felt bad for not being able to give him a proper answer, like yes, I will come home safely every time, but sadly, I can not make such a promise, nor will I promise it just to make him feel better. I know he knows this as well.

For now, I can only do my best to stay alive and grow stronger. When I got back to my room, Sophie and Adel were waiting for me. I should have gone to see my mother, but right now, I do not think I can handle seeing her in such a state. I walked over to the two girls sitting on the couch talking to one another and knelt down in front of them, and hugged both their waists.

"Faith?" Sophie's soft voice entered my ear.

"Just let me stay like this for a little while." To be honest, while I knew they would be there for me even if we were not dating, I felt closer to them and more relaxed knowing we were a couple. Adel and Sophie both began to stroke my head taking turns as if it was some kind of game to them. I smiled as I took in their scents. Adel smelled like strawberries, while Sophie smelled like melon. It was very soothing….

"Where is my Faith!? I want to see my Faith!" My mother's voice echoed down the hall loud enough to be heard in my room. I raised my head to see my door burst open and my mother come running into the room with tears in her eyes. "Faith, you are okay! My darling girl!"

My mother didn't even give me time to get up before hugging me tightly and crying into my chest. "I am so glad you are safe!"

I was very confused as to what was going on. I looked up at my brother, who was slightly out of breath and had a red handprint on his face. "Faith, sorry she escaped me. She suddenly said that you were in trouble and ran off."

I nodded and patted my mother's back. "Mother, as you can see, I am fine. Can you tell me what you saw?"

"I saw…. I saw you fighting with a powerful man. And… And he used some kind of spell you were not able to block to shoot a whole right through your body….." My mother explained through choked sobs.

My eyes grew wide. Why did it sound like my mother suddenly had some kind of precognitive power? I bit my lip and looked at my mother, who was trembling. "Mother, you should sleep…."

"Yes, I should…." I'm sorry, mother…. I do not like having to use magic on you, but for now, you should rest. Your mind is being taxed. I gently lifted my mother up and put her on the couch, which Sophie and Adel got up from. I then turned to my brother: "Has Mother had these dreams before? Or these kinds of episodes in the past few years?"

"She…." My brother looked down at the ground, seemingly not wanting to look me in the eye. "She has been having issues with remembering things, but sometimes she will suddenly say something will happen, and it will come to pass. But her mind has been slipping since before Father entered the dungeon."

"Why did you not tell me about something so important!? You just literally told me this stared happening recently in the other room!" I yelled. I mean, what the hell? I may be in the capital, but they could still send me a message!

"Father and I did not want to bother you when you were already dealing with so much….. We know you are bus…."

"I am never too busy to care about my family! She is my mother too! Brother, do not ever hide anything from me again that has to deal with our family, or I will not have an older brother anymore." I yelled out, tears rolling down my cheeks. I did not mean what I said, and I said it out of anger, but I will not let him know. I looked at my mother for a second before biting my lip. "Diablo!"

"Master? Master, why are you crying!?" Diablo's voice became panicky as he saw me in my current state.

"It's nothing but can you…. Can you tell me if there is a spell that can let me check my mother's mind and see if there is anything wrong with it? Her mind is slipping, and she seems to have gained the ability of foresight." I explained while wiping my tears.

"Foresight…. Master, I'm sorry I would not know…. Seeing the future is so rare that it is almost impossible to meet anyone who has it in a single lifetime, so this…. This is not something I can help with…." Diablo lowered his head.

"It's fine. I just thought I would ask…." I looked at my mother, and my lower lip began to tremble once more. I did not wish to keep her like this.

Sophie came and tugged on my sleeve, causing me to turn and look at her: "Faith… the festival will be going on next month, and the fortune teller might appear again. It is a long shot, but she might be able to answer some of your questions."
