Chapter 259
TL: Zimmings
Loud footsteps came from outside the door. The man who got in pushed the janitor and approached Mina's bed. The cleaner looked at the man without knowing what to do.
"D-dormitory head, what should we do? Shouldn't we call a doctor?"
"Damn. Since when is she like this!"
"I don't know. When I came into the room, her condition was already weird."
He saw Mina's body that couldn't stop shaking. When he looked and rummaged around, found a medicine bottle.
Soon, Mina's eyelids trembled as she had a seizure.
Bzzt-!
The place was suddenly shaking. The sun was covered by clouds, and the world was engulfed in silence. The moment the man with his eyes again after he looked out the window.
A groan came out of Mina's mouth as she looked at the man.
"Are you okay? I'll call the doctor right now..."
Mina grabbed his sleeve when he raised his body halfway.
"... Mr. Benedict?"
He glanced at Mina.
At that moment, the surroundings were distorted. The world has slowed down strangely as if it were losing time.
The janitor's voice, gestures, and even the second hand of the clock.
In the distorted world, only Mina and the man were the same as usual.
When Mina's fingertips touched the back of his hand, an ink spread on it. Soon, it spread everywhere.
His appearance, which seemed to be only in his early 30s, returned to its original state.
His face, which was scarred, was revealed.
The man looked at Mina.
"How do you know me?"
His identity was unknown to Odis students as well as cardinals.
No one recognized him. Even Juliet, who was known for her proficiency in magic, a professor with ability beyond the imperial wizard, and Prince Adrian, who can see people's mana.
It was no wonder, as the barrier surrounding him was a blessing given by Neliard through a pope.
Even when he met doctor Taylor, those people in Dubblede could not find his whereabouts due to this "blessing."
Mina muttered helplessly.
"How can I not know you? I had seen you in my dreams, even when I couldn't remember anything."
"......."
"My knight and guardian. A precious person who protected me anytime, anywhere."
Mina smiled and stroked his cheeks which were burnt.
"I thought you'd be by my side in this life too."
Benedict was visibly confused.
"...I'm sorry. I can't understand your words. Is there something I don't know?"
"Everything will be revealed soon. Don't worry about it, it won't be too late."
"......."
"I have to see them."
"Them...?"
"People I love, people who are like my siblings, and...my family."
Lying on the bed, she glanced out the window.
'Everything will be back to normal. Now I also remember you... sister.'
It was the moment when the first act, a story created by God, started.
***
The speech before our vacation is over.
I looked into the mirror and entered the carriage, heading back home.
'There's no going back.'
The ominous imagination gives me goosebumps. I shook my head, tried to shake off my anxiety, and glanced back. The discouraged Honghae was chasing me.
"What?"
"Since I helped you, there's nothing going on between us, right?"
"Why awen't you caught yet?"
"I gave the fake to them at your request!
"It's not a request, it's an order."
"What does it mean?"
I handed over my mirror to a servant and put my hands on my waist.
"You, my slave."
"No way!"
Honghae jumped, and I laughed arrogantly.
"Aren't you one, as soon as you handed over the fake one?"
"What?"
"Fwom the moment you handed ovew the fake, you can only hold my hand anyway. (From the moment you handed over the fake, you can only hold my hand anyway.)"
"That's because you-"
"So?"
Those people on the other side, which is the temple, will now consider Honghae to be my side. Even if Honghae goes to them, would they trust her?
When I pointed that out, Honghae turned pale.
"Then what should I do?"
"Anyway, you're a slave."
"... won't you forgive me?"
"There is revenge in my dictionary, but forgiveness is not."
"I think it's switched...?"
"You sold me, should I be nice to you?"
Honghae sighed with a discouraged face.
At that time, Emeline arrived in front of the carriage with her luggage.
Emeline decided to go home with us.
"Why is Honghae here...
"Becwase she's my slave."
"I see."
Emeline, who had seen me piling up powerful people slaves in seminary, did not even seem to be surprised.
"Are we leaving now?"
"Yes."
I waved my hand to Honghae.
"I'll wait for your call."
"I have to? I'm worried! I'm not going to be able to have the long-awaited tea party with my siblings in this mood. Sapphires, diamonds, topaz, how disappointed will those cute little ones be!"
Honghae said with a gloomy look, so I shook my head and got on the carriage.
After a while, the three Dubblede brothers, who finished talking to the principal, arrived.
Isaac kept telling me to call him and pushed Honghae, who was hanging in the carriage door.
"Please get out of here, Honghae."
"How could you do that to a feeble lady!"
"I'm weaker. Please go away. Let's go home!"
Only after pushing Honghae did the brothers enter the carriage.
After all the brothers got in the carriage, it started to move to the empire that I miss!
***
"Lady!"
"Kyaaaa-! Lady!"
"La-lady!"
"Lady."
The three maids and Laura rushed to greet me.
"Oh my god, they're telling us the truth. You've gotten really young."
"Ah, these chubby hands, so cute."
Linda was surprised and covered her mouth, Dahlia and Yuni rubbed my cheeks on both sides.
I looked at them and said, "Cwan you let me go now?"
Around that time, Lea and my aunt approached us.
"You don't know how surprised I was when I heard the story. What happened in Odis?"
"Uh, um, I mean, that's... yes! While subjugating monsters, I was too tired and became this way."
"Odis is not a safe place either."
At Lea's words, my aunt nodded and bent her knees to look at me.
"Are there no other problems?"
"Yes, I'm healthy."
"I'm glad to hear that..."
"I'm really okay."
"Okay, let's go in. I've prepared a lot of your favorite food."
"Yay!"
When I raised my arm, Henry, Isaac, and Johann came to us. Isaac squinted and looked at my aunt.
"It looks like we're invisible."
Henry shrugged.
"It was always like this."
The aunt smiled and got up.
"Haven't you guys been okay?"
"There were a lot of things-"
"It doesn't look like it. Let's go inside."
"Aren't you too much?"
Isaac grumbled, as Henry and Johann laughed.
When I entered the dining room,there was so much food that the table was cramped.
As I became young, I had more appetite, so I started eating it happily.
There was pasta with large steaks and savory cheese, sweet and sour juice made from fresh melons and grapes, and freshly picked fruits.
Suddenly, the door to the dining room opened.
"Dad!"
I shouted out of joy, and my dad who came to me stroked my cheek and sat down.
"Slow down. You'll have an upset stomach."
"I'm okay."
"What do you mean, it's okay? Look, no one will steal your food so slow down."
Isaac teased me, so I pouted, and the people burst into laughter.
'I'm really back.'
My dad removed the food crumbs near my mouth. And when I gestured at my aunt, she sent out all the servants and knights away.
Only those who knew that I was a child of evil God who could use the power of the devil remained in the room.
My dad said,
"The second child of fate woke up".
My brothers stiffened and looked at him.
Henry, who put down the tableware, asked in a cold voice.
"We checked before departure, but there was no such news."
"It is a message from a spy planted in Odis' 2nd dormitory. There has been no news since then."
I continued to put grapes in my mouth.
Isaac frowned.
"Are you still in the mood to eat, kid?"
""I know that she will wake up, you don't have to be anxious. More importantly..."
"More importantly?"
"I'm glad she woke up".
I grinned and raised the corners of my mouth as I took out Mina's etwal.
"I have Mina's etwal in my hands, so how could she use her powers?"
"So she can't use it?"
"I thought it's fake...no way, you..."
"Are you looking forward to Mina coming here?"
Everyone's face turned grim.
