Chapter 1

My name is Sophia Ashley.

I am the only daughter of the Ashley Marquess family in the Kingdom of Laxarome.

I am a seventeen-year-old girl who remembers my past life.

I started to recall my past life when I was around five years old.

It was triggered by a high fever due to an illness.

The memories of my past life were not just one.

I remembered living in this world long ago, as well as in other worlds.

However, due to the side effects of recalling multiple past lives at once, my memories are fragmented, and there are many things I do not remember.

In the worlds where I lived in my past lives, some were scientifically advanced, while others were magically advanced.

In this current world, it is a world where magic is highly developed.

Perhaps it could be described as a world of swords and magic?

It feels like that.

One of the characteristics of this current world is the existence of "Titles."

According to religious figures, these are bestowed by the gods.

It seems that the gods are not equal.

This "Title" is not given to everyone, and few people possess it.

Despite its rarity, fortunately, I have a "Title" in this current life.

Moreover, the "Title" I was given is "Sage," which is a rare "Title."

To give you an idea of how rare it is, I am the only one in the world who has it.

The "Sage" title is not only rare.

The benefits that come with this "Title" are also more luxurious than those of other "Titles."

Each "Title" comes with benefits specific to its type.

For example, those with the "Grand Mage" title have enhanced abilities in offensive magic, while those with the "High Priest" title have enhanced abilities in healing and support magic.

Compared to those without a "Title," they can cast more powerful spells or handle difficult spells more easily.

In the case of the "Sage" title, abilities in all types of magic are enhanced.

Moreover, the level of enhancement is higher than that of other "Titles."

Additionally, while most "Titles" come with only one benefit, the "Sage" title has another benefit for some reason.

This benefit is a search function.

When I think of something I want to search for, a semi-transparent window that only I can see appears in front of me, displaying the search results.

I believe this benefit can be very dangerous if used improperly.

The many "us" from my past lives unanimously advised me to keep it a secret.

Therefore, I have not told anyone about the search function.

Even without the search function, the benefits of the "Sage" title are highly coveted.

Even those with more common "Titles" like "Grand Mage" or "High Priest" are sought after by the country.

Needless to say, the situation after my "Title" was discovered was quite significant.

The presence and type of "Titles" can be checked using a magical artifact said to be given by the gods, which is kept in the temple.

The temple is the common name for the largest religious organization in this world.

In the country where I live, the Kingdom of Laxarome, children receive baptism at the temple when they turn ten.

At that time, their "Titles" are also checked.

When my "Title" was revealed, it caused a great commotion, a story still told to this day.

After all, the "Sage" title was only mentioned in a book about "Titles" stored deep within the temple.

The priests present were also surprised and showed various expressions.

Moreover, a person with such a rare "Title" was born into a high-ranking noble family.

The royal family of this country could not ignore it.

The day after my baptism, a proposal for an engagement to one of the princes was brought to my family.

Both of my parents were hesitant, but as nobles, it was difficult to refuse a request from the royal family.

In the end, I became engaged to the prince.

My fiancé is Prince Henry Laxarome, the second prince.

He has golden hair and blue eyes, and his well-structured face, which has been handsome since childhood, remains the same.

The first time we met, we were about the same height, but as we grew, he became much taller.

His physique is well-toned with muscles, and he is very attractive.

He is undoubtedly a prince, and in this world, he would be considered a handsome man.

Being engaged to a prince with high status and good looks would make any ordinary noble lady overjoyed.

However, I could not be happy, just like my parents.

The memories of my past life had influenced my values, making them quite different from the general public.

As a result, the idea of marrying into the royal family seemed troublesome.

Still, I managed to keep the first meeting with Prince Henry pleasant.

Since I had to marry him anyway, I wanted to maintain a good relationship.

So, I used the sales smile I had cultivated in my past life during the meeting.

Of course, I also made efforts to maintain our relationship after the meeting.

I studied hard to prepare for marrying into the royal family and made sure to communicate and meet with Prince Henry regularly.

Thanks to these efforts, our relationship was good at first.

However, as we grew, Prince Henry gradually began to avoid me.

I do not know why this happened.

I could have used the search function to find out the reason.

But I thought it was something I should not do.

One reason was ethical concerns.

Another reason was the fear that once I started, there would be no end to it.

Perhaps my hesitation was a mistake.

Before I knew it, he was avoiding me.

By the time I realized it, it was too late, and my efforts to improve our relationship were in vain.

When I tried to make plans to meet, he would always have other commitments, leaving me with no way to reach him.

I was at a loss.

I could not storm the palace, after all.

While I was at a loss, I heard a rumor.

It was that Prince Henry was very close to a baron's daughter.

At first, the details were vague, but as time passed, they became more specific.

And the details were not good.

If I were a typical noble lady in this country, I might have lamented my fiancé's change of heart, felt humiliated, or even been jealous of the other woman.

However, I did not feel any of those emotions.

Although I had spent a considerable amount of time with Prince Henry, I could not develop romantic feelings for him, even if I could have developed a familial bond.

Therefore, I did not lose my composure when I heard the rumors.

When I saw the rumored scene with my own eyes, I felt a sense of detachment, and the interest or concern I had for Prince Henry seemed to vanish.

All that remained was the thought that it was troublesome.

After that, I stopped trying to maintain a relationship with Prince Henry.

How long had it been since we stopped interfering with each other?

One day, Prince Henry summoned me to the palace.
