The noble ladies looked at the child of destiny with faces of astonishment. The grim Queen Mother began to speak energetically.
The Queen Mother followed her words, took a bath without salt and changed into soft clothes.
It was amazing that the Queen Mother, who was so stubborn even to the King, followed the child's words like a puppet.
The child also applied the cream to the skin of the Queen Mother, who had changed clothes.
"What do you usually wear?"
"I have the oil that the priest gave me."
"What did you eat today?"
"I eat meat because stamina is very important to get rid of disease."
"Squeaky…"
The boy looked up and closed his eyes.
"What do you mean by weird?"
"The coup was very strange…"
"Why?"
"There are a lot of patients in the church. Patients with unusual diseases will try to get treatment there. But why doesn't the priest know about your illness?"
"That's…"
"I heard that oil or meat is bad for atopy. Skin diseases will only get worse."
The expression on the Queen Mother's face changed immediately.
'The boy is right.'
He had done what the church told him to do, but he felt his skin condition was getting worse.
If the child of destiny knew it, the priest should have known it too.
The reason why he had not given proper treatment so far was to utilize himself.
'That bastard!'
He has done a lot for the church. He even helped her even against the will of the king.
"You're the only one who cares about me."
Leblaine smiled as the Queen Mother spoke sadly.
"No!"
Then I ran towards the women and said,
"They all care about His Majesty. Everyone looked sad before because they were worried."
"Is that so?"
As LeBlaine did not forget them, the expressions of the women brightened up.
"Yes His Majesty. We're so worried about you."
"I will not forget your sincerity. I don't think my life was in vain."
Until now, the Queen Mother had never had the opportunity to get acquainted with women because she was too busy with the church. It seems that the future of the Queen Mother will be different from the past.
The women looked at Leblaine kindly for creating this situation.
"I did what you said and the feeling of it was less than usual. What gift should I give to such an intelligent child?"
The Queen Mother asked with a smile.
"It's okay. I'm glad Your Majesty doesn't suffer anymore."
"I'm glad to hear that. But at a time like this, I'd rather hear your wish. Tell me. What do you want? A toy? The gems?"
"It's okay, but um... I want a book!"
"Book?"
"I heard Your Majesty has many books. They say you always read those books, which is why you are so wise!"
The Queen Mother happily placed Leblaine on her lap.
"Yes, I have a good library. Pick one, I'll give you whatever you want."
"Wow!"
Looking at the happy child, the Queen Mother smiled brightly.
"Well, what's your name?"
For the first time, he asked me my name, which I usually never remember in my three lives.
That was the moment when the King's mother was in Leblaine's grasp.
...***...
After leaving the palace with the Javelin, I held the book given by the Queen Mother in my hands.
As I walked excitedly, Javelin asked,
"Aren't there some ancient books in Dubbede's castle as well?"
His expression seemed to ask if this book was that good.
"Yes, but not as much as the Queen Mother's!"
This book is the original version of the Bible!
'I didn't know this book would be mine.'
I wasn't aiming to get this.
It's true that the Queen Mother tried to give me a very valuable gift for her as proof that she trusted me.
However, the reason I mention books is because women think that books are the most awesome gift for a child.
He chose to give me the original version of the Bible and rejected the church. I sing a happy song in my heart.
He completely separated himself from the church, and I obtained a church treasure that money could not buy.
It's the perfect ending.
'As long as I hold this, the church won't touch me easily.'
And my protector is Duke Dubblede.
"Son, can you read the ancient language?"
"Yes." Yeah."
"You must not show that you can read ancient languages to others. Will trouble later."
I nodded my head.
It was a pleasure for me that I could read the ancient language, which was a secret between Dubbede and the high officials.
When I returned to the mansion, both brothers were here.
"Are you really taking the boy to the royal palace?!"
As Isaac sharply questioned him, Javelin pressed down on his forehead.
"If you already know, don't do it."
"In the palace, the church members went in and out, how could you take the boy!"
"As soon as I left the mansion, I felt the presence of the Dubbede knights. I thought there was a war."
"They can't enter the palace."
"The Church will not pursue the child at a time when their situation is precarious. I'm not stupid."
He took the necklace from inside his clothes.
It's a necklace with a royal family symbol.
'Oh, it's like the one Duke Amity has.'
I secretly called the necklace a request. Because the owner can ask the King for help once. Given on a very rare occasion.
In my previous life, it must have been owned by Duke Amity.
'So so.'
Originally, Duke Amity did what Dubbede did in this lifetime, and he got the necklace for fighting.
It seemed like Javelin needed him more to arrange a mansion residence in the capital than a father who lived in a distant place, so he had one.
Henry said,
"But aunt, it's true that you should pay attention to Leblaine while traveling."
"Sad child."
Isaac shouted, "He's not pathetic!"
Javelin took off his coat and said,
"Over-exaggerated protection is restraint for him. How long do you have to manage what he needs to know, what he needs to see, and what he has to learn for the rest of his life?"
Henry and Isaac's faces hardened.
"The child I saw today need not be locked up and protected."
As Javelin, who said so, left, the two became speechless.
...***...
At night, Dad came to my room while I was thinking about how to use the Bible.
The moment I realized his whereabouts, father lifted up the snack plate he was carrying.
"Snack?"
"Maybe it'll make my teeth rotten. But all right."
I nodded and jumped out of bed.
At the little round table beside the bed, I ate the cake my father had brought me.
Father, who was looking at me, said.
"Your brother fought with Javelin?"
"Auntie just talked to my sister."
"But in the end they fought."
With a fork in my mouth, I thought of Henry and Isaac that I saw at dinner.
"Aunty's words are too exaggerated. Aunt also protected mom by locking her up. Auntie who gave him a room without windows!"
"You must have realized after your mother's death that it wasn't proper protection."
The two had a fight and it turned into a big fight.
"Do you want to meet people?"
"No!"
"Blaine."
"… Little."
I have loyal people moving for me, but there are things I can't do without going out.
And I want to feel another experience.
This life is different from the previous one. What was painful in his previous life, often becomes a pleasure in this life.
I used to hate taking a shower. Duke Amity was very frugal, so there was not enough warm water in the winter, even Duke himself had a cold shower.
Even though they gave me warm water, the water wasn't enough, so a shower always sucks.
But now I like it a lot.
Taking a warm bath and talking to the waiter is one of my favorite routines.
In my second life, I didn't like going outside. Duke Vallua scolded me for injuring my face while falling on the street.
But in this life, I look forward to going to the shopping area. A big hand rubbed my head.
"We'll have a tea party when we get back."
"Tea party? Can I meet kids my age?"
Dad smiled at me.
"You can do what you want to do. It's up to you."
'My father is the coolest man in the world.'
Even though they protected me too much, they always made the decisions I wanted.
I was so happy that I jumped into Dad's arms. And when I kissed her cheek, her eyes grew bigger.
I had never kissed her on the cheek, so she was very surprised and touched the place I kissed earlier.
"Father is the best!"
"…..."
"Yes. Best."
And then I rubbed my face against his chest.
...***...
The next day, Duke Dubbede attended a cabinet meeting attended only by a handful of powerful men from among the nobility.
They discussed some of the agenda in a tense atmosphere.
There was a small chatter among the nobles.
Marquis Montbell, who was sitting still, felt uneasy. He usually did not attend the meeting, but today, he came an hour before the meeting started. Most people know why he came so quickly.
Her daughter, Annes Montbell, is coming to see Empress Yvonne.
Empress Yvonne only invited a few young girls she liked.
"I heard Miss Montbell was the Empress' guest?"
Marquis Montbell raised the corner of his mouth. He must have been waiting for that word to come out.
"She must have thought my daughter was very funny at the party a few days ago."
Marquis Montbell was one of the few people who had the most fertile territory in the Kingdom.
As a prestigious family with a long history, he was the one in power replacing his father and received the voting rights in the central council.
The nobles laughed and continued to praise his daughter
"That's understandable for Miss Montbell. I heard he was the funniest at my wife's party. There are so many women who want to help her education."
"Thank you for your kind words."
"That's something to be proud of. Isn't he the funniest kid in the world?"
"Hohoho... Is that what you saw?"
That time,
Duke Dubbede got up from the chair and looked at them.
The whole room is silent.
Does he not like the agenda he has chosen?
Should taxes be raised to 10 percent instead of 7 percent?
Duke Dubbede's ruthless image was etched in the minds of all the nobles present in the meeting.
At the time of the war, he walked with red blood flowing to the floor, and he cut the neck of an assassin who attacked the palace with a single blow.
Whatever the reason, he seemed to be against something.
Then the king asked,
"What's the problem?"
Theodore Dubblede, whose hands were clenched, looked at the nobles.
"My daughter is the funniest in the world."
…What?
The entire room froze, and Marquis Montbell gulped.
