The NPC is Stuck in a Time Loop

Chapter 11

Cecilia quickly left the vicinity with the most absurd excuse she could ever muster 'I need to pee? Seriously Cecilia, what were you thinking' She stomped down the same pathway engraved in stones that she took to get there, she's definitely running away, who knows what they'd do to her? Cecilia replayed everything that had happened to her in the academy, her? A Level 99 Alchemist? Shouldn't her skills reset when she went through another loop? In the first place, how did she reach Level 99 when she barely practiced for a year? The time she spent in the time loop practicing couldn't have possibly added up to more than a year.

Cecilia walked and stomped without looking where she was going, her mind was too clouded with theories to pay attention to her surroundings, unbeknownst to her, Cecilia walked into a person, she could feel how firm the person's abs was, she looked up to see dark red eyes looking at her, his black hair swayed with the wind, he was wearing a black knight uniform in contrast with the prince's white uniform,

'Sh*t it's the Duke of the North' Cecilia had seen the warmonger before in one of the war parades held by the Empire, the Duke of the North is notorious for slaughtering the Empire's enemy without batting an eye, Cecilia shudders at the thought of becoming his enemy,

"Miss?" the duke looked at her emotionless, Cecilia quickly pushed the duke away, muttering an 'Excuse me, I'm sorry' before running into the horizon, fetching a carriage by the gates of the Academy, the duke stood frozen watching her disappear into the beyond.

Cecilia arrived home not long after, she paced back and forth in her room thinking, how she wished she was still living in her little world despite how mundane it was, 'What did I get myself into, I should've stayed in the time loop, at least I could make potions in peace'. There is one thing that Cecilia despises, and that is responsibilities, she would like to live a carefree life as an NPC, with nothing to think or worry about besides whether or not she turns the close sign when she closes the store. Now she must worry about how many people had seen her Level 99 Alchemist title, she was certain that the Duke of the North who is the second male lead to the heroine had seen it.

'F*ck'
