Chapter 195

TL: Zimmings

Early that morning, all of us and Taylor traveled to our mansion via a long-distance teleportation.

Even though it was early in the morning, the mansion was brightly lit. As soon as we showed up, the servants who were roaming the courtyard shouted, "Lady, master!"

"You came back safely...Taylor?"

Nos, who was the first to run out of the crowd, looked relieved, then looked at Taylor standing behind me and hardened.

Taylor said with a smile.

"You still have that f*cking expression, Eugene Nos."

"......."

Nos' expression, who was usually friendly, turned cold.

"We have prepared a place for you to stay in the annex.

"There must be a room I could use on the second floor of the main building."

"That is a space for direct descendants. It may have been your room in the early days, but not now."

"So Javelin is the daughter of Theodore? That's amazing."

Taylor smiled and pointed out that my aunt, who was not his direct descendant, was living in the main house.

"Don't be sarcastic."

My aunt, who came down from the second floor, said as she covered my brothers and me behind her back.

"Long time no see, sister. You seem to have gotten along quite well with Theodore. Even though before you cursed Theodore who couldn't protect his wife and the youngest child."

"At least I have more sibling affection than you."

"I'm sure Theodore, you, and I are blood-related. So where is this siblings affection for me?"

"He didn't cut people's stomachs and sample the intestines for personal desire. I have no intention of arguing with you any more, so please go to a separate building."

"Well, that's good. I didn't really want to stay in the main building. I also like the separate building."

"You are still skillful in making others annoyed. Now get out of the way. Don't harass my nephews and niece."

My aunt didn't seem very pleased with us getting involved with Taylor.

He had a history of poisoning his siblings, so she didn't seem to think that we would be safe. Nos also seemed to be hostile because of it. Taylor turned his back as he went to the separate building, and I quickly grabbed the hem of my aunt's cardigan.

"Aunt, aunt."

My aunt moved her gaze to me. It was a very different kind of look from when she looked at Taylor.

"Yes."

"Don't send him to a seperate building."

"Leblaine, Taylor is not worthy of your kindness-"

"He might be planning to run away, so put him next to me, I'll watch him."

"......."

Aunt blinked her eyes. It wasn't that I felt pity, it was because I needed to watch him. I nodded my head resolutely.

Taylor Dubblede is a master in escaping.

In my first life, when my brothers briefly released him to treat Mina, he gave them a rough prescription and ran away.

'Well, the medicine worked so well that Mina woke up. However, there was an aftereffect.'

Henry and Isaac, who were heated by it, searched the empire, but I didn't hear that he was caught even until I died.

"He could never run away. So, until I go to the Imperial Palace, in the room next to me... it must be in the room next to my dad. No, no, I'll put a chair in my dad's room..."

"One room with him..."

No matter how good Taylor is, he will never run away if he's with my father.

Aunt and Nos exchanged glances and nodded their heads.

"If that's the case, he can't do any harm to the young lady and the masters."

"Yes."

My dad didn't care about it unless we are in danger.

***

Taylor was dragged by Leblaine to Theodore's office. It has been a long time since they saw each other.

Siblings were ranked according to the status of their mothers.Those who had a noble mother reigned over dozens of brothers. The children of a mother with no title could not even share a meal with those who were born to mothers with noble titles, so what about Taylor, who was born to a foreign slave?

Theodore's situation was no less than Taylor. He was born from a commoner mother who had been sold due to her father's gambling debt.

Having a child for money is no different from a prostitute. The brothers always mocked Theodore's mother, who died shortly after giving birth. Still, Theodore never gave up. Even when he could only sleep in the stable due to his brother's scheme, he did not show the injustice he faced.

The other brothers called him an idiot, but Taylor had a different idea.

'It's not that he doesn't have pride, he's terribly arrogant. He doesn't treat them like people. It's like he doesn't feel resentful by the fact that he was humiliated by a pet.'

Those eyes can't fool him.

Theodore was just holding back. Waiting for a chance to put the blade in front of his ancestors and siblings.

Theodore, who had grown older and had three children, was still arrogant.

"Long time no see, brother."

Look, those eyes that still look at him like trash.

Theodore then looked at Nos and said.

"Throw him into a seperate building."

Taylor chuckled, as if he knew he would do it.

There was no one who didn't know how stubborn Theodore is.

Once he says something, he won't change it even if he has a knife in his throat.

He won't give a chance for the trash to share a room with him.

The strange thing was that Javelin and Nos, who knew his temper as well as he did, showed no change in expression at all. They glanced at the little girl who looked like a chestnut. The child clung to Theodore's leg.

"Please keep my uncle here."

'There is no way she can break her father's stubbornness.'

"No..."

"Daddy~"

"......Huh?"

With a single word, his expression, which was like ice, suddenly changed.

"Daddy!"

"Where did you learn that? Who taught this child nonsense?"

The corners of his lips twitched. At least, it didn't look like the person who taught her would be slapped. Maybe he would even give the person a reward.

"No?"

"......Okay."

Everyone in the room was not surprised.

The butler of the mansion had already prepared a place as if he knew he would do it. Taylor narrowed his brow and Leblaine, who was given permission, turned to Taylor.

"Stay quietly in this room."

When Taylor didn't answer, the faces of the people in the room grew grim.

'How dare he make the lady speak twice!'

Then Taylor realized.

During the years he was imprisoned in a dungeon, Dubblede's power structure had been turned upside down.

That little chestnut reigned atop the pyramid of power.

***

I wiped a cold sweat with the back of my hand as I looked at my father, who was in the same room with Taylor.

'Okay, I got it.'

The move which Laura taught me in case of emergency had worked.

"Lady, all fathers in the world will love it if you say it cutely."

I wondered if that would really work, but Laura was right.

'How can I use my secret skills like this?'

Now that I've used this move that I've been saving, how am I supposed to break my dad's stubbornness next time?

I sat next to my dad, clenched my jaw in agony, and looked at the documents he was looking at and opened my eyes.

"That's an ancient language! Don't tell me, have you figured out the oracle?"

Johann, who was with him, speak on behalf of my father.

"Only some parts. The security level went up, so it would be impossible to find all of it unless we are one of the 21 priests. Some words don't appear often in the Bible, so it would be difficult to interpret even in the temple."

'But I can read it!'

I quickly looked at the three words on the paper.

"Red, Moon, Advent?"

After hearing my words, Isaac said, "Oh." and nodded his head.

"Yes, this kid can read ancient languages."

"Hmm, first..."

I was going to say, I learned it from my first life, but when I saw Taylor, my aunt, and Nos, I quickly changed my mind.

"I guess I can read because I'm the child of fate."

'But what does the red moon mean?'

While contemplating, I grabbed the hem of my skirt.

'It means that Mina will descend on the day the red moon rises?'

A red moon is a lunar eclipse that occurs every 100 years.

'Then it is the day that Mina will come.'

I do remember clearly. The day the red moon rises.

I felt dizzy as I tried to recall the details with my hands wrapped around my head.
