Chapter 260

Chapter 260

TL: Zimmings

So the remaining problem was me. I can't be a child forever.

'It's even more dangerous because there are people who know that I've become a child.'

Jin, Honghae, Juliet, and the twin princes.

The twin princes are the most dangerous ones.

If I look at their moves so far, they won't be able to open their mouth easily, but I don't know how it will turn out depending on the situation of the country.

The possibility of spies hiding in the mansion cannot be ruled out.

Now, I left only reliable servants in the mansion and gave others a vacation.

But if the vacation keeps getting extended, it'll be weird.

'I have to go back to my original age as soon as possible.'

Deciding to do so, I called in the chairman and Trigon.

***

"You really become a child."

Trigon looked at me.

"You've said that a hundred times."

I sighed, holding my chin with a grim look on my face.

"Did you see the data of the devils?"

"Yes. According to the data of the passage from Storas, there is no devil with amethyst as the passage."

"It has been known since ancient times that there is no dwevil with amethyst as a passage."

That's the reason I haven't used amethyst until now. Because I don't know which devil will be summoned.

"Why don't you try summoning the amethyst devil?"

"It's power is different from other dwevil. It'll be hawd to maintain it."

"If it's a devil on God Serga's side, can't you use it regardless of their will?"

"In terms of strength, Storas is much stronger. But why did I take Boone instead of Storas?"

"Huh?"

When Trigon looked puzzled, the chairman replied on behalf of me.

"What's important is their ability rather than their power. No matter how powerful the devil may be, isn't it only ability that could benefit the lady?"

"I see..."

Trigon said, and I leaned against the chair with my arms folded.

"Now it's even mowe confusing because of Boone's situation.

I found out that Boone could be summoned through completely different jewels.

A passage that has been used once loses its function. So, I think other jewels will become a new passage.

'So if it's not in Storas' records. It must be something new.'

Trigon shook his head when he heard my story.

"But it's only the children of fate who can summon devils through the passages. And secondly, you haven't called out the devil yet, have you?"

"No, you see..."

"Who else can do it?"

"Mom."

"......!"

"This amethyst's devil, it could have been the devil that my mom called once."

"Should we find out?"

"It is a secret of the temple that my mom, who was a saint, called out the devil. How could we know who the devil was Trigon? Also the pearl that Mina had."

"You mean that? There's something I can point out."

Trigon opened up a large book given by Storas.

"Andromallius. This is the only devil that has white pearls as a passage."

"What is its ability?"

"....... A devil with the ability to recognize a person's identity and return it to their original form."

As I listened to Trigon's story in a daze, I got up to my feet. I quickly took out the mirror and looked at my face.

"Why didn't I notice this...? This figure, it wasn't me."

"What?"

"Lady?"

The chairman and Trigon asked me. I quickly screamed after seeing my reflection.

"I'm not Leblaine of Dubblede, I'm the Leblaine of ancient times."

I didn't just become a child. In fact, he became the younger sister of Neliard, the ancient Leblaine!

***

Trigon went out to investigate more devils. Only me and the chairman remained in the room. I looked at myself in the mirror with a serious face.

'I didn't notice it before but I looked so much like myself in ancient times.'

Thud, I groaned as my head fell to the table.

"I'm a fool..."

The chairman grabbed my hand as I tried to hit my head and shook my head.

"Even if it's your past self, there's no problem right? Everyone thinks of you as the child version of your current self."

"... That's true."

"Finding out why you have changed is hard. Shouldn't we just focus on the devils who can help you?"

"Yes..."

The chairman looked at the pearl and said,

"But, the devil of amethyst is truly amazing. How could it beat the effect of the Andromallius devil?"

We found out and realized that Andromallius power had been used. The cloudy pearl meant that this pearl had lost its function as a passage.

Also, the amethyst deflected the power of this pearl's passage, but I couldn't completely get out unschated, so I became the ancient Leblaine.

I fell down on the table and hit my head.

'The devil in the amethyst should've deflected everything...'

"You must be thinking of something shameless."

"Yes."

The chairman laughed and sat opposite me. And after hesitating for a long time, he opened his mouth.

"Lady."

"Yes..."

"...... Nevermind. I'll tell you after you get back to your original age."

"Yes. Let's call your son after then."

When I smiled and said, the chairman's eyes grew bigger.

"Did you know my wish?"

"Isn't that the reason you've been helping me?"

"It wasn't necessarily like that..."

I giggled because the chairman replied awkwardly.

"Thank you. I want to call him out right away, but my condition is weird."

"Weird?"

"How should I say this? It's hard to connect with the devils..."

Since I was in Odis, I can't hear the voices of the devils well. I could only hear short sentences once or twice.

'I thought it was because I was blocking the divine power in etwal as I was in Odis, but when I returned to the mansion, I knew for sure.'

Since I became like this, I couldn't hear them and talk with them like usual.

'Well, now that I have become an ancient Leblaine, it must be confusing.'

"I tried to ask Boone to call your son, but it didn't work."

"Thank you so much for doing that."

The chairman bowed. I held his hand and said.

"There's a devil called Marcocia."

"You mean the devil who turns an object into a stone?"

"It's not about turning it into stone, it's about making it 'void' in my opinion."

"That means..."

"Marcocia could help me return to normal. After that, your wish will come true."

"Thank you again, miss."

Me and the chairman laughed as we faced each other.

'Now, all I have to do is wait for Trigon to find the passage of Marcocia.'

How fortunate it is that the devil is Marcocia. Marcocia' passage is a jewel called "Engelot". And it was in the imperial family.

The chairman and I looked forward to hearing from Trigon. However, things never worked out, and enemies appear every time.

This time....

[The second child of fa5e entered the empire. Engelot is what she asked for in return for becoming a citizen of the empire!]

It was Mina.

Hearing the urgent voice of Trigon from the communication device, I held my skirt tightly.

***

Mina looked around the hall of the imperial palace with a slightly nervous face. Cardinal Reginald smiled kindly and spoke to Mina.

"You don't have to be nervous. The whole people of the empire are welcoming you."

"It's been a while, so I'm a little nervous."

"It's been a while...?"

"Nothing."

Mina awkwardly raised the corners of her mouth.

She remembered many memories here in the imperial palace. Henry and Isaac were very angry when they saw her crying alone in a corner after being hurt by a person in her previous life.

She rushed to stop the two men who were trying to beat up the person who hurt her right away.

'Oh, there's still a dent on the floor.'

The two of them were running towards her with pale faces when she tripped over that dent.

She laughed for a long time because it was funny that they didn't know what to do with the wound on her knee.

She remembered the sight of Isaac, who was grumbling with a red face, and Henry sighing.

It was then.

"Huh...?"

Henry and Isaac really walked from the opposite side. The two looked at Reginald coldly.

"Did you ask for Engelot?"

Reginald smiled at Henry's words.

"Seeing that young masters come out first without greeting me, it seems that Dubblede was aiming for it."

"I'll be direct and tell you. Give up."

Engelot was an object left by the founding emperor. If that fell into Mina's hands, there would be people who would say the imperial family favored her over Leblaine.

Of course, this is merely a public evaluation, and the reason Henry and Isaac came to the imperial palace was because they were asked by Leblaine.

[Enegelot, I want it. Henwy, Isaac, pwease.......]

Leblaine put her hands together and asked them pitifully.

'I will never let you down.'

Isaac looked at Reginald with fiery eyes as Mina quickly grabbed his arm.

"Isaac, I know what you're thinking. But it's not necessary just because of the fight between me and Leblaine. For Leblaine, I-"

While Mina was chattering, Isaac was frozen. Normally he would have shaken off her hand at once. Henry narrowed his brow and asked, "What are you doing?" After that, Isaac shouted.

"Le- let go of this hand?"

"If you promise not to shout at Reginald."
