Chapter 1

Noah, who opened his eyes, slowly looked around feeling strange.

 

“I wetuwned, aden?” (I returned, again?)

 

Noah grumbled when he had a rough idea of what was going on while staring at colorful paintings around. Then he blinked at the strange voice that came out.

 

“W, whad tis?”(W, w hat’s this?)

 

He has no idea what’s going on and why his tongue seems to have been cut off in half since words with unclear pronunciations poured out of his mouth.

 

It was strange that it kept on happening so he raised his hand on his eye level. 

 

Did my tongue get cut and have my hands shrunk to a quarter of its original size?

 

Noah saw a hand as cute as a maple leaf.

 

He stared blankly at the short fingers and chubby palms that moved together as he thought they would.

 

Why are my hands and fingers like this?

 

As Noah struggled to remove the thick blanket, he could see white pajamas with laces.

 

“This pwace…”

 

If the world hasn’t gotten bigger, he’s definitely gotten smaller.

 

As Noah tapped on his legs, a mirror on the side of the room came into his view.

 

“Hnch. Ngh…”

 

Even though he wanted to move quietly, neither his body nor his voice could do it properly.

 

After much effort, Noah, who crawled on the fluffy and soft wide bed, looked down and opened his small mouth wide.

 

Was the bed always this high?

 

In the end, Noah turned around and gripped the sheets, and slowly lowered his legs while on his knees.

 

“Ouw…”

 

It was a very careful action, but as soon as Noah lowered his two legs, Noah’s small body fell behind with a thud.

 

“Eh…”

 

There was only one thing I felt while moving so hard. This isn’t a 19-year-old body.

 

Noah, who sighed, hit his knees with both hands, and stood up.

 

Noah, who walked for a long time in the spacious room and stood in front of an elegant and large mirror, faced a cute little boy.

 

“How old am I… Thwee yeaws… Fouw yeaws…”(How old am I… Three years… Four years…)

 

Curly platinum blonde hair with sparkling emerald eyes.

 

A deep sigh came out of the mouth of a three-year-old boy with two reddish and plump cheeks.

 

* * *

 

19-year-old Noah Schwein, who is the only son of the Archduke’s Omega wife who rules the northern Auston region, where winter is said to be constant, was the description that could describe the current Noah.

 

Jihoon, who enjoyed travel and winter sports, at some point, possessed a character in a fantasy novel he had read.

 

Doesn’t everyone have a preference?

 

Jihoon’s favorite novels were fantasy novels featuring the Archdukes of the North. Sometimes it was about a romance fantasy, sometimes it was a BL fantasy.

 

The stories about the wild wolf-like northern archduke living alone in a world full of northern wind and white snow were very interesting.

 

Jihoon also liked the romance between the emperor and the other characters and the mixed misunderstandings and conflicts with the other characters.

 

Anyway, it’s a kind of story where he read a novel.

 

It was a completely different thing for people to have a movie-like loving couple become their parents one day.

 

While having fun skiing at the ski resort, he woke up to find that he was now the son of his favorite romantic fantasy protagonists.

 

Before Jihoon even got used to the situation he wanted to do something about, he was suddenly dragged to various banquets.

 

Find an Alpha who will succeed the Archduke and lead this harsh territory!

 

Jihoon danced until his feet were trembling without even knowing what or how to take in all of this, stepping on various men’s feet mercilessly. 

 

I’d rather dance in the club. Then I can have fun all night long. 

 

The ¾ beat in waltz was the only thing Jihoon learned once in middle school dance class.

 

While stepping on the feet of the Alphas and smiling while raising the corners of his mouth as instructed, he married the second son of a duke, an Alpha, who was at least good-looking.

 

It was a mistake when he couldn’t even properly judge if this was just a dream or reality of being a character in a novel he just read. 

 

Then the first day they returned to the territory. The man, who couldn’t even be called a husband, ran away because he couldn’t stand the cold. 

 

But when he opened his eyes the next day, it was all reset. Jihoon got dragged into a banquet again that day since his 19th birthday had passed.

 

After stepping on other people’s feet again while thinking about what this situation was, he married the first son of a merchant group, who seemed to be obedient this time.

 

The marriage of the archduke’s only omega son and the first beta son of the leader of a merchant group has raised many issues.

 

A groundbreaking decision that transcends social status and character, the wedding was wrapped as the love of the century, but what can Jihoon do, he looked better than the one who ran away from the cold.

 

Then this time, this guy lived in the house for a few days and then robbed the safe.

 

Why does my coming-of-age ceremony come not once, but twice?

 

Noah tried to touch his chin with his short arm, but when it didn’t go his way, he lay flat on the spot.

 

At least I think it’s good that I don’t have to go to a banquet right away and dance in Waltz’s 3/4 beat, what should I do next? 

 

Noah heard the door open carefully, so he tilted his head and looked at the door.

 

“Oh my, young master. Why are you on the floor…”

 

The woman in a maid’s uniform jumped up in surprise and lifted Noah to carry him, Noah rested his heavy head on her shoulder.

 

All I did was get out of bed and sit in front of the mirror, but why am I so tired and sleepy?

 

Noah wanted to think a little more, but his eyelids felt heavy.

 

 

After a while.

 

Noah, now three years old and drinking warm milk, couldn’t accomplish his first night after his two marriages. 

 

“Young master, please try this, too.”

 

Even after waking up after a good sleep in the maid’s arms, the situation did not change.

 

I guess I have to start at the age of three this time.

 

He held a palm-sized cookie with both hands and took a big bite, looking at the fluttering yellow butterfly while chewing on the sweet and crispy cookies.

 

“It’s a butterfly. I guess summer is coming soon.”

 

“Summer?”

 

As far as he remembered, there was no summer in Auston territory. The snow is always piled up, and even if it is autumn, the chilly air doesn’t go.

 

However, in the beautiful green garden, there was no white snowy field instead pretty and colorful butterflies flew and colorful flowers were in full bloom.

 

It was not easy to live a nineteen-year-old life in a vaguely thrown-out place. It was embarrassing to regress after only adapting barely, but with a little knowledge, the second life was a little easier.

 

If this isn’t Auston, then where? Noah, who was immersed in various thoughts, quickly looked at the door at the sound of a knock.

 

“Elisa, the archduke has arrived. Hurry up and get the young master ready.”

 

Following the knock, another woman in a maid uniform came in, and suddenly, the surroundings became busy with what she said.

 

So the one who gave me snacks and milk until just now was Elisa.

 

Noah took turns looking at the refreshment table and the woman welcoming those who came in. From the clothes she was wearing, the atmosphere, and the way she treated herself, it seemed like she was the head maid.

 

Good, Elisa is the nany. Noah nodded and looked at the women as they entered and talked.

 

The cookies in his hand disappeared, and the white pajamas he was wearing were changed into neat black pants and a white shirt.

 

“Daddy?”

 

Noah, who had been quiet as someone gently combed his curly hair and put on a cute bow tie, carefully opened his mouth.

 

The person who deserves to be called the Archduke who’s here now is Noah’s dad, Lucas, the northern archduke, Jihoon’s favorite male protagonist in all the novels he has read.

 

“Yes.”

 

“Mommy?”

 

“The archduchess went to the dining room first.”

 

Noah swallowed the saliva that had accumulated in his mouth as Elisa wiped his hands once more with a wet towel.

 

It was Lucas who was unkind to everyone except to Lauren, the heroine of the novel and now Noah’s mother. In the novel, their love ends with a happy ending, and a story about the second generation is not mentioned at all.

 

Anyway, Lucas was Noah’s favorite male protagonist.

 

‘Get married.’

‘What?’

‘Since your 19th birthday has passed, you have to get married and take over this land.’

‘…….’

‘Do it. This land will be yours.’

 

Isn’t this your territory? Noah didn’t spit those words out because Lauren was coughing next to Lucas.

 

Auston’s long winter was not easy for Lauren, who was weak, so she was moved to a warmer area.

 

Lucas, who has lived apart from his wife for more than a year and a half, will leave this place to Noah, who will become an adult and go to the warm south with his beloved wife.

 

If he had been an ordinary Beta or Alpha, there would have been no difficulty in handing over the estate to Noah, but it was Noah’s trait that held him back.

 

Although it is said that the balance between alpha and omega was achieved and an equal relationship was established, the world centered on alpha and beta that had been passed down for a long time did not change so easily.

 

What Noah could do in a situation where he could not give up and inherit the land as an Omega, was to marry a Beta or an Alpha.

 

So he got married twice, but the moment his husband ran away, he returned like this.

 

What should I do? Walking down the hallway leading to the dining room, Noah shook his head quickly.

 

As he has read a lot of novels, he wasn’t in a situation where he felt repulsed by traits like alpha or omega. There was a need to find a way to escape from the coercive Lucas, who recklessly forced him to marry.

 

After a brief thinking, it was clear that Lucas was exclusive to no one but Lauren.

 

It is clear that Lucas bears some hatred towards Noah since Lauren became so weak after giving birth to him.

 

So his child wouldn’t have looked so pretty to him.

 

Blunt expressions. Commanding tone. Conversations that don’t last that long.

 

Noah didn’t want to be in a situation like he was in a marriage market or be kicked out when he turned 19.

 

Standing in front of a large door with colorful dragon decorations, Noah clenched his fists.

 

First of all, what he has to do from now on is to make Lucas be on his side. And until his 19th birthday, he has to find a way to properly inherit the territory or become independent on his own.

 

At least in this life, Lucas should not tell him to “get married right away.”

 

He could think of the next step slowly. At least this time, he was just three years old. 

 

He’s still a child, so it’s still okay.

 

When he looked in the mirror earlier, he thought to himself he was cute and pretty.
