Loreley Ai No Shirabe / Original Title: SONG of the LORELEI (Harlequin SP Bunko)

[Machine Translation] Alone, Laurel visited the beautiful and tragic Lorelei legend. In a castle on the banks of the Rhine lives an old baron, her grandmother's former lover. The two were deeply in love when they were young, and promised to marry, but the difference in their statuses tore them apart, and they were never able to be together. She wants to give the baron a memento of her grandmother and tell him that she loved him until the end of her life. She calls out to a boy in the garden, and as he leads her into the castle, she sees a portrait of a woman who looks exactly like Laurel. This was my grandmother of old... Then an angry voice rang out. What are you doing? I turned around and saw a man standing there who looked exactly like the baron I had seen in an old photograph.

ローレルはひとり、美しく悲劇的なローレライ伝説の地を訪れた。ライン河畔の城には、祖母の元恋人である老男爵が住んでいる。若き日のふたりは深く愛しあい、結婚を約束しながらも、身分の差に引き裂かれて、ついに結ばれることはなかったという。男爵に祖母の形見を贈り、最期まで愛していたと伝えたい。庭にいた少年に声をかけ、導かれるまま城の中へ入っていくと、ローレルそっくりの女性が描かれた肖像画が目に飛び込んできた。これは昔の祖母...そのとき怒声が響いた。「なにをしている?」振り向くと、古い写真で見た男爵に瓜二つの男性が立っていた。
