...***...
After a long time, I left the castle in a carriage.
Baron and Cattlea had told the church about my divine power, so we went to the nearest church to test my divine power again.
The Duke did not want me to leave, but Dubos earnestly persuaded him.
"The boy had used a power that even Dubbede's elite masters were unable to withstand. There may be abnormalities that doctors do not know. He needs to get an accurate diagnosis in church."
Of course, it was not only an inducement to worry about me, but also a concern for the Dubbede family.
If the Duke doesn't let me go, his relationship with the church will become irreparable.
In any case, 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 divine power has grown this much, I might be dragged to the central church.'
[Do you want me to get rid of the church?]
'You can do that?!'
[If I use all of your divine power, it's possible.]
Better to die than go crazy. If I die, at least I might be able to reincarnate again. But if I lose my mind, I won't be able to die and will be moved as a tool for the church.
'No, let's think positive.'
The Tears of the Goddess are in the church we are heading to right now.
I can secretly steal it for Boone. Then I don't have to worry about losing all my divinity 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 check if I had arrived, but it's still mountainous.
"Sorry, little lady. We have a problem with the wheels."
Then the faces of the guards inside the carriage turned sharp.
"Did you start the journey without repairing the train properly?"
"Just yesterday it was raining and the road was muddy, so the mud stuck to the wheels."
The horseman's face became very pale.
"It's nothing."
It did take a long time to climb the mountain, so I calmed them down on the grounds that I wanted to take a short break.
The moment I went out, countless knights stood up at the same time.
Many people took the same steps for each step I took, and the moment I stopped, they stopped at the same time.
I looked at them.
"I akyan was the suwatu tempwat near sinih. All people are slogans." (I'll be somewhere near here. Everyone take a break.)
If I get caught stealing the Goddess Tears, I have to find a way out.
"I don't think you can, little lady."
I turned and shouted.
"Can!"
"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.
"Are they more beautiful than you, Lea?" (Are they stronger than you, Leah?)
"Of course..."
"You're also from Irie."
*Irie: Elite knight Dubbede
"What?!"
Their eyes widened in shock as if they did not know that he was also from Irie.
"......!"
When we finally arrived, the church mountains were as green as Dubblede Park, though it was winter.
'It looks like they're keeping the temperature here with the spinel. This place definitely gets a lot of donations.'
I look around as I walk. Slightly dim because the sun is covered in clouds, but not too difficult to look around.
Leah walked on the right side so she wouldn't bother me.
That's when I found a tree with beautiful leaves. My eyes widen.
'Lt's amazing! It was an Elsa tree!'
It was a very precious tree.
Since it was a tree that grew using divine 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 sparkling Elsa tree.
As I grabbed the tree trunk and raised my hand to pluck the leaves, I heard the sound of grass rustling.
Suddenly, the clouds brightened and the sun appeared.
As the area around me brightened up, a blonde boy with a beautiful appearance appeared.
"You..."
Blonde hair that shines brilliantly, and bright pomegranate red eyes. He looks so familiar.
'I know a handsome boy who can rival Dubbede's.'
He was able to stand shoulder to shoulder with Dubbede's three sons. Her beautiful appearance, great physical ability, Mana, and even her family pedigree were the first in this country—
'Adrian Louerg's.'
'Is it possible to meet the prince while taking a walk...?'
I swallowed in silence.
My heart was beating so fast that it almost exploded from 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 driven out of the palace!'
That must have happened this year.
Marquis Chatele, Adrian's maternal grandfather and the empress' father, rebelled to bring his grandson to the throne.
At the age of 15, he was re-appointed as the youngest cardinal.
'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?
As I stood there confused, something hit my nose.
I looked up, and saw two small fish made of water floating in the air.
[The boy's strength is incredible. He gives awareness to things created by divine power.]
I heard Boone's words and thanked him.
He's very strong. Therefore, at the age of 15, he was elevated to the cardinalate even though he was a deposed prince.
"Amys, Amand. Back here."
At Adrian's words, the little fish immediately returned, but the other big fish kept looking back at me and came back with a drooping tail. Like not wanting to go back.
'That's like a puppy.'
As I thought about it, our gazes met.
"Who is this? How did you get into my barrier?"
"Huh?"
"How can you see Elsa's 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 that tree, so I broke through!]
Said Boone cheerfully.
'You can't just do whatever you want!'
This was a very impolite way to break through the barrier. Unless the enemy attacks someone.
Because the barrier is not a form of assault.
I mean, it's like hitting someone while standing still.
Adrian is generally good at people, but he is not an approachable person.
Some aspects of him were very cold. Especially for those who attack him.
He was the type of man who would never let a speck of dust go.
"I asked, who are you?"
Here's problem.
My actions seemed to slap a child who was about to become a cardinal. So what am I supposed to do?
"My name is Isaak!" (My name is Isaac!)
I smiled brightly.
"Isaac?"
"Yes!"
"Only authorized officers are allowed to enter this mountain, how did you get in?"
"Uh, um.... I, I am the maid from Dubbede."
She's staring.
I must have looked so young that he couldn't believe it.
[That guy... He's checking your mana. Ugh—!]
He checked it because I said something unbelievable.
And it's not too rude to just check the amount of any where.
Boone became silent.
By the way, Adrian seemed to have confirmed my Mana count and trusted me
That's because there are often incidents where a child steals another person's Mana and uses it as a tool to enter a church.
Besides, it would be more convincing because my clothes are 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 difficult for you... Come back."
"I just took purgi for granted?" (Can I just leave?)
Even though I broke your barrier?
Even adults would press their eyebrows due to the burning anger.
"Because it's just an accident."
Adrian is young enough to say that.
He's four years older than me, so he's probably eight now. Sure, the New Year is about 15 days away, so it can count as nine.
'Let's get out of here.'
"Hey."
I tried to go back, but I hit the barrier instead!
"Ugh.." - UH...."
'Boone! If you let me in, you should also let me out!"
[Son... I can't always act the way I want.]
Boone who did not pay attention said softly.
Later then.
A thin beam of light floated in Adrian's hand with a slight vibration.
And soon there was a small door forming in the barrier.
I looked back and said, "This is also, thank you."
"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 Miss?"
He's lookingfor me. I was unaware of the change that was happening at that moment because I was focused on running towards Lea.
