Rebirth: The Villainous Young Master Doesn't Want to Follow the Script

Chapter 79: The Former Heroine, Lorraine Fowler (2)

***********

LOCATION: LUMEN ACADEMY, SOUTHERNMOST PART OF STELLARUS EMPIRE

****PRESENT****

She snapped from her thoughts when she recalled those unsavory memories from that time when she noticed how Snowy tried to comfort her and the white panther knew she was upset and trying to cheer her up.

The young woman smiled at the white panther and snuggled with its nose to tell that she is thankful and was okay right now and the white panther answered with a purr and snuggle back to her as well.

As she snuggled up with Snowy and to feel comfortable with her since she is a female white panther, Lorraine suddenly remember about Snowy's previous life's master.

In her previous timeline, she didn't have an idea about this place and only that person was the one who shared this place with her.

That person was none other than Ezekiel himself.

He is Snowy's previous life's owner, and the young woman could bet that Ezekiel is still the master of this white panther as she remember the special collar that was attached to her neck and there is a symbol that it wasn't represented the Chevaliers.

Lorraine could only conclude that the symbol might be from Ezekiel's biological mother's side.

The young woman halt on her thoughts for a moment when she suddenly remember about Ezekiel and from the rumors, or much rather, from the investigations that she conducted to herself with [his] help for all these years, Lorraine felt frustrated and anger at the same time when she recalled what transpired about Ezekiel's death three years ago.

'There was so much change that happened upon learning what happened from those years ago. Even in this academy where I studied for the last three years, and it wasn't how I used to remember at all.'

She didn't know what truly happened and the events from her previous timeline became different from the current timeline.

A lot of things happened such as about the Marchioness from the Chevalier household where a certain scandal had spread out within the noble society, and it involves Ezekiel that time and the Marchioness' scandalize deeds has been exposed.

Unlike in her previous timeline, those deeds weren't exposed up until the end and even the Marchioness' death from that time, and right now, in the current one, from what Lorraine had learned from [him] was that the Marchioness was put into house arrest for an indefinite period of time.

Even up until now, Lorraine hasn't had any news about the Marchioness but that wasn't her concern at all.

'Now I could understand why Ezekiel from the previous timeline had issued an order to kill the Marchioness. That old hag had it coming and how dare she prey on the younger like animals in heat?! Does she have no shame at all?!'

In the current timeline, the Marchioness lives but her reputation is no longer could be known as virtuous and gentle amongst the crowd and her reputation became nothing but a stain to the Chevaliers because of her actions.

That might be the reason why she wasn't no longer appearing within the noble society from what she heard from eavesdropping from others within the academy during her times as a student.

*Growl~~

The young woman snaps once more as she smiled at the clingy anima within her and both of them snuggled with other to find some comfort.

"What is it, Snowy? Do you miss... Ezekiel?"

Upon hearing the name, Snowy purred but from Lorraine's perspective, she knows that Snowy is suffering right now when she just learned that her owner and master had passed away.

'I remember her name because Ezekiel shared to me about this place in her previous timeline and that's how I got to know about Snowy.'

Lorraine knew that Ezekiel wasn't capable of manifesting his household's bloodline, just like what happened in the previous timeline but what she couldn't think of is how Ezekiel is able to tame a White Beast Panther that was known for its aggressiveness.

Not only that, when she ventured into this place since Ezekiel is the one who introduced this place to her, she was immediately met by this White Panther, and she immediately recognized the collar that was hanging on her neck and that's how she met Snowy.

For some reason, it seems like Snowy knew her as she wasn't that aggressive when Lorraine tried to touch her, and she just snuggled up and purred in happiness.

It's as if the White Panther was expecting her to come here.

When she mentioned Ezekiel's name in from of her, Snowy's silvery-colored eyes looked pain as if she feels that her owner would be gone in this world.

'I don't remember Ezekiel having some sort of taming abilities though. Is there something about Ezekiel that I haven't known from the previous timeline?'

Even though it was declared that Ezekiel died three years ago but for the White Beast Panther would still react on her presumed deceased owner, Lorraine had suspicious on it.

'I used to believe that Ezekiel died according to the rumors and from [him] as well but when I remember about Snowy and how this White Panther is Ezekiel's tamed beast, I got doubt about it.'

Not only that, aside from Ezekiel's [death], there are a lot of events had changed during the course of her stay within the academy as a student.

It's about the six men, who Lorraine remembers are the six male leads of this worldline.

One of them is about the Crown Prince, Alois Henri de Stellarus.

In the previous timeline, he is the first one Lorraine encountered during her struggles when she became a transfer student in this academy.

Crown Prince Alois was the student council's president and was tasked to maintain peace within the factions of the noble children inside the academy.

That was from Lorraine's previous timeline however, in the current timeline, because of Ezekiel's sudden death, a rumored came that the Third Young Master's sudden demise was nothing but orchestrated by none other than the Crown Prince himself.

There was evidence shown during the retrieval of Ezekiel's battered body and it became an open secret within the noble society about this kind of act.

Because of that incident, the Crown Prince was forbidden to attend the academy for an indefinite period of time as he was still under investigation and not only that, but his position as a Crown Prince is also in jeopardy.

He was more likely to be confined within the walls of his own Palace and from what Lorraine had heard from [him], there was an increased of security within the Crown Prince's Palace in fear that there might be someone who would make a contact with the Crown Prince during his confinement.

"I knew I would find you here, Lady Lorraine."

Lorraine snapped from her thoughts when she heard the familiar voice of that person as she looked around and spotted [him] right away.

Right.

The person that Lorraine referred to as [him] is none other than, the instructor for Military and Strategic theories.

The First Young Master and the heir apparent of Marquis Chevalier household, Altron Zerux Chevalier and....

He is the person who backed up for Lorraine and the young woman considered the First Young Master as her sponsor and guardian...
