[Episode 119]
“BamBam! No, it’s a dragon now, so it’s a dragon…”
I smiled awkwardly the next morning as I saw Richard, who had come from the wind.
“Your word is real…”
There was nothing that changed in the naming sense.
When I made a puzzled face, Richard quickly waved his hand in the air and held out something to me.
The smell of flowers rushed into the tip of the nose. Richard laughed lightly.
“I was worried because you said you were sick. This is a gift.”
“…a flower.”
“Yes, do you like flowers?”
“No good.”
I accepted the flowers with both hands and smiled clumsily. I don’t think I’ve ever received flowers from anyone.
“thank god.”
Whenever Richard laughed, his earrings dangled and swayed.
“I heard you’re going to the Magic Tower these days.”
“Yeah, I’m under the mage tower lord right now. I am the heir or something.”
The expression on his face, which seemed to be annoyed, seemed to be annoyed. I handed the bouquet to Laurent and nodded.
“It’s still cool.”
“…Awesome?”
“Yeah, being the heir of the mage tower lord is really amazing.”
“That’s… that’s right.”
Richard slightly rolled his eyes and nodded.
“Because I heard it! I’ve been told that the only successor of the mage tower lord is me. The inspiration said there was no one else to do it but me.”
said Richard excitedly. Seeing the wide smile on his face, I gave him a small round of applause.
“Wow, that’s great.”
The corners of Richard’s lips twitched at my words. It seemed that the compliment was very nice to hear.
“As expected, Richard is amazing.”
“What this… this is nothing. Later on, I will become the youngest Mage Tower owner.”
The boy proudly revealed his aspirations. A smile leaked out of me when I saw him banging his chest with his fist.
I smiled and nodded. No matter where you go and what you do, please don’t become a psycho.
“But what are you doing here?”
“Oh mission. Because there is a spy sent by the Prisoner Bureau, the Mage Tower has requested an interrogation.”
“…huh? Do we have a father in our family?”
“Ah, the primary interrogation of national criminals is to be taken by the imperial castle or the Mage Tower.”
aha that’s it
After all, state criminals can’t be disposed of privately in aristocratic families.
“Father… Kheuhm! No, Duke Etam is a strong person, but he does not belong to the Mage Tower or the Imperial Family.”
Didn’t he quietly say that he was his father?
I call my dad daddy I looked at Richard with a slightly puzzled face.
“You can’t tell.”
His voice trembled slightly as he added, as if he had noticed the meaning of my gaze.
“Since I saw that you are safe, I will go now.”
Richard jumped up from his seat, waved his hand, and quickly disappeared.
“Oh my God, these Dalpia flowers are said to be hard to find.”
After Richard left, Laurent, who was examining the flowers carefully, said,
“okay…?”
“It is also famous as a flower that shines brilliantly when it receives the moonlight and brightens the road at night.”
“I see.”
I was a little surprised because it looked like a simple wild flower on the outside.
“Is the schedule over now?”
“Oh, I was originally going to do that, but… High Priest Lucillion asked for an interview.”
“Is Lucy?”
“yes.”
“when? Maybe now?”
“Yes, you are waiting somewhere else.”
There’s a lot more to do than I thought.
I was going to have a good rest today, but it wasn’t easy because many nice guests came to visit.
‘Come to think of it, Dad’s reaction yesterday was strange…’
When I asked why he slept for so long, he kept his mouth shut. Even though my dad usually tells me everything.
Then, I asked quite seriously what kind of life I had before reincarnation.
Thanks to that, I think I fell asleep in my dad’s bed yesterday while talking to him.
But when I woke up in the morning, Dad was gone.
‘I must have been busy…’
But when I opened my eyes, my dad wasn’t there, so I felt a bit sad.
‘But why did Lucillion come?’
I tilted my head as I headed towards the drawing room where Lucillion was waiting with Laurent.
Laurent knocked lightly on the door and heard a voice from inside telling him to come in.
“master.”
Lucillion laughed, jumped up from her seat, and came close to me.
‘…When will this guy stop talking about his master?’
I nodded lightly as I saw Lucillion approaching right in front of me.
“Hi Lucy.”
“I heard you were sick, are you okay now?”
Lucillion looked at me carefully and then asked with a lightly smiling face.
“yes I’m fine. It’s just that I slept for a while.”
“…okay.”
Lucillion looked at me quietly, took my hand, led me away, and sat me down on the sofa.
“Lucy?”
“Didn’t you have a dream or something?”
“huh.”
“Master, can I ask you one thing?”
“Yeah, of course not.”
When I nodded, Lucillion opened her mouth with a meaningful expression.
“Are you happy now, Master? Are you enjoying everything that surrounds you right now?”
My eyes widened at the sudden words of Lucillion.
After hesitating for a moment, he cautiously nodded.
“Yeah, I like it because it feels like a dream.”
“Dream…”
Lucillion murmured lowly and nodded. He pondered for a moment before looking at Laurent.
“Would you mind stepping aside for a moment?”
“Ah….”
Unlike Dad, Laurent looked at me with a quick glance. I nodded and she left the room.
“Actually, today I heard that His Excellency Duke Etham had a strange dream, so I came to the duke’s house.”
“A strange dream?”
“Yes, before that, let me clarify one thing. I know that you, Master, do not fully belong to this world.”
It was as if Lucillion’s sudden bomb remark had hit him in the back of the head.
When I looked up in embarrassment, he was kneeling in front of me and holding my hand.
“Don’t get me wrong, I can read and see anything that belongs to this world and touches the realm of God Arma.”
Lucillion made eye contact with me and licked her lips calmly.
“So I knew from the beginning that Master did not belong to that world.”
“…”
“Because originally, I would have actually lost that bet that day. I knew it, but I was stubbornly stubborn.”
It was not difficult for me to guess that the day Lucillion spoke of was the day we first met.
It must have been the day I served him the scones.
“I just can’t say it, but I can see more than I thought, and God tells me more of the future than I thought.”
Lucillion showed an inside that he hadn’t shown before. I heard the story with a slightly bewildered face.
I was a little taken aback because I didn’t have this inner feeling in [mouth.yang.gak].
“The day I made a bet with the High Priest, God told me to fail and I was stubborn. It was frustrating.”
I thought it was a bit odd.
Lucillion always acted like a know-it-all and stayed calm even when I used strange abilities.
“And I met the master.”
“…”
“Master, you are not from this world, are you?”
My thump heart fell to the floor.
There was no particular reason why I shouldn’t say it, but I didn’t think anything good would happen if I said so.
So I didn’t tell anyone but my dad.
“In order to become a Eucharist, the imprint must be intact, but Master said that this is not the case, right?”
“…huh.”
“Master, did you reincarnate with memories of your previous life?”
“…similar.”
I trembled slightly.
Lucillion’s voice was soft, calm and sensitive, but his heart beat very fast.
“Would you like to go back?”
“no. Never again…”
I shook my head vigorously.
Lucillion pondered for a while before finally opening his mouth.
“The reason Master couldn’t fully imprint is probably because you from the other world are still alive.”
“…I’m alive?”
“yes.”
“But even so, it’s strange that I can’t see my master’s fate.”
“why?”
“Even if the imprint is half… Having someone’s destiny intertwined is a positive sign that you completely belong to this world.”
Listening to Lucillion’s calm words, I nodded. He grabbed my hand a little harder.
“But there are two cases where I cannot see destiny.”
“two?”
“Either your opponent is dead…”
He trailed off.
“Or a god.”
I slowly shut my mouth at Lucillion’s words. I got a little headache.
“God did not answer me. He was usually silent on any questions about his master.”
said Lucillion. Even when I frowned, he didn’t back down.
“Think carefully, Master.”
“what…?”
My heart thumped.
As I hesitantly backed away closer to the back of the sofa, Lucillion grabbed my hand a little harder.
“Master, do you really not know this world?”
“This is just…”
It’s a world someone created. I couldn’t bear to say that because I was in a novel, so I only opened my lips.
Today, Lucillion’s movements and voice felt like slow motion.
Less buzz, less buzz.
Kiki-Ik-!
At that moment, I felt that the cog wheel that was rolling at that moment was completely out of alignment.
At the same time, there was a sound like a ghastly scream, like sharp nails scraping a chalk board.
When I opened my eyes again, I was standing in Eirin’s form in front of a huge gear in the pitch black darkness.
