I left the castle by train.
Baron and Cattlea had told the church about my sacred power, so we headed to the nearby church to test my holy power again.
The Duke did not want me to leave, but Dubos himself solemnly persuaded him.
“The boy has exerted a force that even Dubbled elite masters cannot withstand. There may be abnormalities that doctors do not know. He needs to get an accurate diagnosis in church.”
Of course, it was an inducement that included not only my worries but also the concerns of the Dubbled family
If he doesn't let me go, his relationship with the church will become irreparable.
However, when Dubos raised concerns about my health, Duke was forced to let me go.
I looked out the window with a sullen face.
[Son, you must be in a bad mood.]
'Yes.'
[Why?]
'As Cattlea said, my holy power has grown this much, so I might be dragged to the central church.'
[Do you want me to get rid of the church?]
'Can you even do that?!'
[If I use all of your sacred power, it might.]
Better to die than go crazy. If I die, I may at least reincarnate again, but if I lose my mind, I will not be able to die and will be moved as a tool for the church.
"No, let's be positive."
The Tears of the Goddess are in the church where we are heading.
I can secretly steal it for Boone. Then I don't have to worry about losing all my holy power and going crazy.
'I must find the goddess' tears as quickly as possible.'
By the time I thought about it, the train had stopped.
I looked out to see if I had arrived, but it was still in the mountains.
“Sorry, little lady. We have a problem with the wheel.”
Then the faces of the guards inside the carriage became extremely distorted.
"Did you start the journey without fixing the train properly?"
“I-it, yesterday it was raining and the streets were muddy, so the mud stuck to the wheel.”
The horseman's face became very pale.
“It's okay.”
It would take a long time to climb the mountain anyway, so I calmed them down on the grounds that I wanted to rest for a while.
The moment I went out, many knights stood up at the same time.
A large number of people took the same steps for each step I took, and when I stopped, they stopped together.
I saw them.
“I'll be very new. Everything breaks.” (I'll be somewhere near here. Everyone is resting.)
If I get caught stealing the goddess' tears, I have to find a way out.
“I don't think that's possible, little lady.”
I turned and shouted.
"That's possible!"
"Ah, yes, little lady."
"But little lady, you are precious."
"That's…"
Before I could say anything, the bodyguards were already standing beside me.
“How can a woman protect you completely?”
I tilted my head.
"They're stronger than you, Lea?" (Are they stronger than you, Leah?)
"Of course….."
“You are also from Irie*.”
* TL Note: Elite Knights Dubbled.
"What?!"
Their eyes widened in shock as if they did not know that he was also from Irie.
“…..!”
When we finally arrived, the mountains of the church were as green as the Dubbled garden, even though it was winter.
'It looks like they're keeping the temperature with the spinel. This place definitely gets a lot of donations.'
I look around while walking. It was a bit dim because the sun was covered in clouds, but it was not too difficult to look around.
Leah walked on the right side so she wouldn't bother me on the street.
That's when I found a tree with very beautiful leaves. My eyes widen.
'Lt's amazing! It's an Elsa tree!'
It was a very precious tree.
Since it was a tree that grew by consuming holy power, its leaves had a mysterious effect.
'If I dry the leaves and sell them, I can sell them for 50 francs per gram!'
I shouted without a sound and ran towards the brilliant Elsa tree.
When I grabbed the tree trunk and raised my hand to pluck the leaves, I heard the grass rustling.
Suddenly, the clouds disappeared and the sun appeared.
As the surrounding area brightened, a blonde-haired boy with a pretty appearance appeared.
"You…."
Blonde hair shines brilliantly, and pomegranate red eyes are bright. He looks so familiar.
I know a handsome boy who can rival the Dubbled family.
He was able to stand shoulder to shoulder with the three Dubbled sons. Her beautiful appearance, great physical ability, mana, and even family pedigree were the first in this country—
"Adrian Louerg."
'Is it possible to meet the prince while walking ......?'
I silently swallowed.
My heart was beating so fast it felt like it wanted to get out of my body.
I wouldn't be so surprised if it was another prince. But it was Adrian.
And he shouldn't be here right now.
'He will be overthrown this winter and expelled from the palace!'
That must have happened at this time of year.
Marquis Chatele, Adrian's maternal grandfather and the father of the late empress, rebelled against his grandson to take him to the throne.
But it failed and the Marquis died, so Adrian was deposed.
'The future has changed ...'
Butwhy?
There is only one thing that can change the future…
'When I do something different ...'
But what can I do to Adrian that changes the future?
Why didn't Marquis Chatele start his rebellion?
Why is he here?
While I was standing there confused, something hit my nose.
When I looked up, I saw two small fish made of water floating in the air.
[The boy's strength is incredible. He gives awareness to the things created by holy power.]
I heard Boone's words and thanked him.
He's really strong. Therefore, at the age of 15, he was elevated to the cardinalate even though he was a deposed prince.
“Ami, Safe. Back here."
Hearing Adrian's words, the little fish immediately returned, but the big fish continued to look back at me and returned with its tail drooping. It feels like I don't want to go back.
'It's like a puppy .. and not a fish.'
As I thought so, our gazes met.
"Who is this? How did you get into my barrier? ”
"Huh?"
“How can you see Elsa tree?”
Did he make it invisible by using a barrier?
'But why can I see it?'
[I made it visible!]
But even so, isn't it impossible to break into the barrier?
[I thought you wanted to go to the tree, so I broke through!]
Said Boone cheerfully.
'You can't do anything you want!'
Unless the opponent attacked someone, it was extremely impolite to break through the barrier.
This was because the barrier was not for offensive use.
I mean, it's like hitting someone while standing still.
Adrian is generally nice to people, but he is not an easy person.
Some aspects of him were very cold. Especially those who attack him.
He was the type of meticulous man who would never even let a speck of dust go.
"I'm asking you, who are you?"
Here's problem.
My actions were like slapping a little boy who was about to become a cardinal. So what am I supposed to do?
"My name is Isaac!" (My name is Isaac!)
I smiled brightly.
“Isaac?”
"Yes!"
"Only authorized personnel can enter this mountain, how can you enter?"
“Uh, um, ···I, I'm a tailor Dubbleds.”
She's staring.
I must have looked so small that he couldn't believe it.
[That guy…..He's checking your mana. Ugh—!]
He checked because I said something unbelievable.
And it's not too rough to check with the amount of Mana.
Boone became quiet.
Anyway, Adrian seems to have confirmed my mana count and trusted me.
That's because incidents often occur where a child with mana steals it from others and uses it as a tool to enter a church.
After all, it would be more convincing since my clothes were completely plain like servants.
"Did they put servants to serve the child of destiny?"
Adrian looked at me and muttered,
“Yes, this trip must have been hard for you..Return.”.
“...Can I just gwo?” (Can I just go?)
Even though I broke the barrier?
Even an adult would have eyebrows pinched in a fiery rage.
"Because it was an accident."
Adrian was young enough to say that.
He's four years older than me, so he's probably eight now. Of course, this was New Year's Day in about 15 days, so one could count it as nine.
'Let's get out of here.'
"Son."
I tried to go back, but the barrier hit me!
“Aduh...”.
'Boon! If you let me in, you should let me out as well!'
[Son.I can't always act the way I want to.]
Boone who was unaware said softly.
Later then.
A thin beam of light floated in Adrian's hand with a small vibration.
And soon there was a small door in the barrier.
I glanced back and said, "Here you go, thank you."
"Good bye!"
I waved my hand as if nothing was wrong and left the barrier.
In the distance, I heard Lea's voice,
"Where are you, little lady?"
He's lookingfor me. I didn't notice the change that was happening at that moment because I was distracted and ran towards him.
