The Baby Who Raised the Devil

Haro Flower Allergy (10)

“It's been two years.”

I took Adrian by the hand and asked, regardless of my family's reaction.

"When did you come? How did you come yesterday? Is the red moon coming because you came? What do you mean after two years? What have you been doing all this time? Huh uh?"

Seeing me keep asking, Adrian smiled.

When he said 'for the first time in two years', he probably meant that he had been there for two years.

Adrian has changed a lot, it's normal for teenagers.

His height, which was similar to Isaac, grew close to Johann's height, and his jaw became sharp! His voice became very low.

This is very surprising.

As my eyes lit up, I could feel a few eyes behind me. My family's.

Henry separated me from Adrian.

“Prince surprised. Just relax."

And then, I looked around.

'Ups.'

There was no one around except us, but we had to be careful as this was the Imperial Palace.

I'm nodding.

"How about we go to your palace?"

“Come go somewhere else. We don't want anyone to find you here.”

It's been a week since Adrian disappeared.

The reason why everyone was so silent even though the prince disappeared was because he had been told by the emperor to go to the border right before he disappeared.

I asked my father not to let anyone know about his disappearance.

“Ah, the emperor thinks you are sick. I thought it would be strange if he didn't hear from you even after you arrived at the border.….”

As I whispered, Adrian said, "I know." and nodded his head.

"Then how are you going to explain why you came to the Imperial Palace?"

“My people have found evidence of some officers colluding with strangers. I came here under the pretext of consulting with the prime minister, so no need to worry.”

"I understand……. You're not going to see His Majesty?”

It may have been only a few days for the emperor, but for Adrian, it was 2 years.

As I lowered my head, Adrian stroked my hair.

"He would be suspicious when he saw his son suddenly this tall."

Then turned to my father and brothers and said, “Please take them to the greenhouse as well.”

My father and brothers stared intently at Adrian and followed him, but I stood for a moment and touched the part that Adrian was petting.

"He must be an adult."

He looked like a kid, but somehow it felt weird. Is this what you feel when you see your sister grow taller? I was confused, and I don't know why…

'My cheeks itch. Why?'

Did I get bitten by an insect?

As I was thinking about it, Isaac said, "Aren't you coming!?" I scratched my cheeks and chased after them.

***

The greenhouse where Adrian took us was very quiet.

It's so seedy that I can't imagine it's a greenhouse in the Imperial Palace. I'm rattled. Henry watched me and whispered, "This is the late Empress's greenhouse."

'A…'

The garden of the late Empress Elsa.

Empress Elsa was Adrian's mother and the only empress during the emperor's current reign.

Empress Yvonne was jealous because she remained in people's memories even after she died, so she used her influence to make them forget. As a result, the greenhouse is overgrown with weeds and dirty.

Among the randomly growing trees, there was only one tree that looked like it had been touched by a human hand, and there was a mark on it.

[Adrians.]

It seems that Empress Elsa planted a tree after the name of her son while he was alive.

It was like Adrian's world.

It looks so lonely.

"I'm sorry for taking you to this poor place."

Adrian gave our family a table lying around the greenhouse.

“So you know.”

Isaac sat down while grumbling and I stared at him sharply.

“... It's a nice place.”

After Isaac was startled and changed his words quickly, I turned my gaze away.

Adrian looked at me and smiled, took out something and put it on the table. I widened my eyes when I saw what Adrian was pulling.

"Seal mom!"

I've seen it clearly in the past.

The Duchess Dubbede's stamp shone beside her wedding ring in my mother's hand. Inside, the sun and moon are interlocked, and in the center is a Dubbede pattern and a jewel. Father and Johann's eyes hardened as if they recognized him as well.

"How does the prince have this?"

Adrian answered Johann's words.

“After sending the Lady here, I returned to Dubblede County to bury the body of the Duchess and the maid. But the body disappeared and all that was left was this.”

My father, holding his mother's seal, nodded.

"His body missing?"

"Yes. When I went to the mountains, the Dubbede knights were also looking for the Duchess and the child, but, as you know, no one found the body. Even the corpse of the cardinal.”

“We also know that the temple must have hidden it. What is the prince trying to say?"

"It's no coincidence I found the seal of nobility."

"… What do you mean?"

“It's lying in a clear place. Looks like they gave us a clue. ”

Our whole family looked at Adrian with hardened faces.

After exchanging glances with my father, Adrian opened his mouth again.

"The temple has no reason to suggest that they killed the Duchess."

“.... So there is no one on the temple side?”

'The real trigon.'

The man who erased Lea and Cecilia's memories was on the mountain at the last moment.

I immediately looked at my father.he nodded his head as if he agreed with me.

'Trigon said the real Trigon was a sincere and kind person who loved his family.'

“What a silly thing he followed the temple! He's a fool who can't hurt a rat!”

“But Lea and Cecilia must have been very fascinated by Trigon's magic. Think carefully. Was there anything suspicious at the time?”

"I don't know. It's been a long time.Ah, back then, Aragon (the real father of Trigon) had a train accident. I was also accidentally injured, so I can't take care of him.”

Recalling the conversation with the fake Trigon, I clenched my skirt tightly.

"family."

"What?"

Isaac looked at me as I bit my lip.

“Temple threatens the original Trigon with his family. So there's nothing he can do.”

Father added.

“The famous filial of Aragon. He accidentally left the seal.”

“He was forced to follow the temple, but the benevolent original Trigon could not stand it. So… "

I looked at Adrian as he said.

“Smart people will not leave evidence. He gave us a clue with this seal.”

Yes, he must be being watched at the temple, so he won't be able to leave any evidence.

He purposely left a seal on the mountain.

"But what's that lead?"

When I muttered,

“Leblaine.”word Adrian.

"Huh?"

"The sun and the moon. Something comes to mind?”

“Sun and moon…? that..”

I opened my eyes wide and jumped.

“Altar underground! Father, there is a sun and moon interlocked in the temple's underground altar tapestry!

The place where I died in my first life.

I see the tapestry all the time while dying.

“But, Adrian. How do you know that? ”

“Because I've been to that altar before and seen it. There was a man who passed out there.”

“... Is the original Trigon still alive?”

“I don't know what it is. But for sure the seal points to the temple.”

I touched the seal on my father's hand.

"Everything went well."

Adrian has returned safely and there is no need to go to the temple anymore. But now, I have to go back to the temple to find the real Trigon. It was as if someone was taking me to the temple.

'I don't know what a God Neliard or an evil God is, but something is clear.'

If we can enter the underground altar, I can find the real Trigon.

'And if we find the real Trigon, we can destroy the temple.'

The holy knights and priests lowered their voices as they spoke to Cardinal Blasio.

“Pope is very worried.”

"I know."

"Red spinel is unresponsive?"

"Yes." Yeah."

“But it's a passageway right? Out of nowhere Why... Now the Pope has threatened you to find the Etwal fragment in any way.”.

"I don't know!"

Cardinal Blasio stood up straight and shouted.

The servants who passed through the desolate corridor looked at him in wonder. It seems strange that anger erupts from the benevolent cardinal.

The holy knight was startled and quickly waved his hand so that everyone could leave. Meanwhile, Cardinal Blasio ruffled her hair.

Red spinels have lost their light for a week or so. It was as if the devil had disappeared.

"There were signs of a break-in in my office. Someone came in, but who?'

It won't be a thief.

A thief will steal a red spinel, but that will not make it fade.

'Did etwal's owner touch him? But from the beginning, etwal was only in the temple…'

He also does not know how.

The Pope urged him to find out but he did not know.

He can't even make excuses.

'In the midst of this, I must listen to the complaints about the Empress Dowager. Fucking old lady.'

He did not want to meet the pope.

The temple was busy as the influence of the temple was waning and the Marche also ignored it recently.

In the midst of this, if the Empress Dowager was captured, it would become even more chaotic.

That time,

“Blasio!”

A voice came from the end of the hall. A small woman with beautiful brown curly hair looked at him and lowered her head.

"Yes?"

"Child of destiny ..."

"My name is Leblaine!"

No one could guess Leblaine's motive behind that bright smile.
