What Happens When You Cut Ties With Your Childhood Friend

I broke off my friendship with my childhood friend due to my fiancé’s manipulations. Eight years later, in a moment where I nearly lost my life, trapped by the fiancé’s schemes— “Run, Your Highness!” “…Kayan?” The one I had cut off so suddenly had returned. “Don’t cry. You’ll look really ugly if you do.” With a farewell in the familiar tone of our childhood, he died in my place. As I watched him die, I made a vow. ‘I will never live like this again.’ *** So, I turned back time. The problem? I returned to a year after I had already broken off my friendship with Kayan! Still, I couldn’t let the tragedy of my past life repeat itself. This time, I was determined to live fearlessly. First, I gave my bullying half-sibling a taste of rough revenge. “Aaaaagh! Did you just stab me with a sword?!” “Oh my, look at that! You’re not dead yet, huh?” Then, I sent a rough letter to my brother, who was off at war, requesting a break-up with my fiancé: [Just send me the breakup letter without any excuses. If not, I’ll kill everyone and lock myself up in prison.] And most importantly… I had to clear up the misunderstanding with Kayan! “I want to be your best friend again, like we were before.” “Yes, I appreciate Your Highness’s kindness.” “I’ll work hard to regain the trust I lost.” “Yes, I appreciate Your Highness’s efforts.” Kayan, wounded and guarded, was not going to be easy to win back… ‘I’ve even come back through time—there’s no way I can’t break down this wall!’ Just wait. I will definitely become your friend again!
