Chapter 39: 39
I left the castle in a carriage .
The Baron and Cattlea had told the church about my divine power, so we headed to a nearby church to test my divine power again .
The Duke didn’t want me to go, but Dubos himself had earnestly persuaded him .
“The child has exerted the power that even the elite masters of Dubbled cannot withstand . There could be an abnormality that the doctor doesn’t know about . She needs to get an accurate diagnosis in the church . ”
Of course, it was a persuasion that included not only my worries but also the Dubbled family’s worries
If he doesn’t let me go, his relationship with the church would become irreparable .
Anyway, when Dubos raised concern about my health, the Duke was forced to let me go .
I was looking out the window with a sullen face .
[Child, you must be in a bad mood . ]
‘Yes . ’
[Why?]
‘As Cattlea had said, my divine 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 divine power, perhaps . ]
It’s better to die than to go crazy . If I die, I might at least reincarnate again, but if I lose my mind, I will not be able to die and will be transferred as a tool for the church .
‘No, let’s be positive . ’
The Goddess’s Tears are in the church where we are currently headed .
I can secretly steal it for Boone . Then I won’t have to worry about losing all of my divinity and going crazy .
‘I should find the goddess’s tears as soon as possible . ’
By the time I was thinking about that the carriage had come to a stop .
I looked out to see if I had arrived, but it was still mountains .
“Sorry, little miss . We’ve got a problem with the wheels . ”
Then the faces of the guards inside the carriage became horribly distorted .
“Did you start off without properly repairing the carriage?”
“It-, it rained yesterday and the road was muddy, so mud got stuck to the wheels . ”
The horseman’s face became pitifully pale .
“It’s owkay . ”
It would take a long time to climb the mountain anyway, so I calmed them down under the excuse that I wanted to rest a little .
As I went outside, countless knights stood up at the same time .
A great number of people took the same step for every step I took, and when I stopped, they stopped together .
I looked at them .
“I will be somwhewe neaw hewe . Everybody rest . ” (I will be somewhere near here . Everybody rest . )
In case I am caught stealing away the goddess’s tears, I should find an escape route .
“I don’t think that’s possible, little miss . ”
I turned around and shouted .
“It’s possible!”
“Ah, yes, little miss . ”
“But little miss, you’re worth a lot . ”
“That…”
Before I could say anything, the escorts were already standing next to me .
“How can a woman protect you completely?”
I tilted my head .
“Awe they stwonger than you, Lea?” (Are they stronger than you, Lea?)
“Of course… . . ”
“You awe from Irie* too . ”
*TL note: Dubbled’s elite knight .
“What?!”
Their eyes widened from shock as if they didn’t know that she was also from Irie .
“… . . !”
When we finally arrived, the church’s mountains were as green as the garden of Dubbled, even though it was winter .
‘It looks like they’re keeping the temperature with spinel . This place must be getting a lot of donations . ’
I looked around as I walked . It was a little dim because the sun was covered by clouds, but it wasn’t particularly difficult to look around .
Lea walked on the right side so that she wouldn’t disturb me in the way .
That was when I found a tree with exceptionally pretty leaves . My eyes went wide .
‘Awesome! It’s an Elsa tree!’
That was a really precious tree .
Since it was a tree that grew by consuming divine power, its leaves had mysterious effects .
‘If I dry the leaves and sell them, I can sell it for 50 francs per gram!’
I screamed silently and ran towards the brilliant Elsa tree .
When I grabbed the tree trunk and raised my hands to pluck leaves, I heard the grass rustling .
Suddenly, the clouds cleared and the sun came out .

As the surrounding area brightened, a blond boy with a beautiful appearance appeared .
“You are… . ”
Brilliantly shining blonde hair, and vivid ruby red eyes . He looked really familiar .
I knew this beautiful-looking boy who could rival the Dubbleds’ .
He was able to stand shoulder to shoulder with Dubbled’s three sons . His beautiful appearance, great physical abilities, mana, and even family pedigree were first in the country—
‘Adrian Louerg . ’
‘Is it possible to meet the prince while walking……?’
I silently gulped .
My heart was pounding so hard that it was about to burst out of my body .
I wouldn’t have been so surprised if it had been another prince . But it was Adrian .
And he shouldn’t be here right now .
‘He was going to be deposed of this winter and kicked out of the palace!’
It certainly happened at this time of year .
The Marquis Chatele, the maternal grandfather of Adrian and the father of the late empress, revolted against his grandson to bring him to the throne .
But it fails and the Marquis dies, so Adrian is deposed .
And only at 15, he was reinstated as the youngest cardinal .
‘The future has changed…’
But why?
There is only one thing that could change the future…
‘When I did something different…’
But what could I have done to Adrian that changed the future?
Why didn’t the Marquis Chatele start his revolt?
Why was 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 .
[That boy’s power is amazing . He gives consciousness to things that are created by divine force . ]
I heard Boone’s words and thanked him .
He really was powerful . Therefore, at 15, he was appointed as a cardinal even though he was a deposed prince .
“Amy, Amand . Come back here . ”
At Adrian’s words, the little fish went right back, but the big fish kept looking back at me and went back with its tail drooping . It seemed as if it didn’t want to go back .

‘It’s like a puppy… and not a fish . ’
As I was thinking so, our gazes met .
“Who is it? How did you get into my barrier?”
“Huh?”
“How are you able to see the Elsa tree?”
Did he make it invisible by using a barrier?
‘But why was I able to see it?’
[I made it visible!]
But even so, wouldn’t it have been impossible to get into the barrier?
[I thought you wanted to go to the tree, so I broke through it!]
Said Boone cheerfully .
‘You can’t do whatever you want!’
Unless an opponent attacked someone, it was very, very rude to break through a barrier .
This is because a barrier was not for offensive use .
I mean, it’s like hitting someone while standing still .
Adrian was generally nice to people, but he was not an easy man .
Some aspects of him were eerily cold . Especially for those who attack him .
He was a thorough type of man who would never even let a speck of dust go .
“I asked you, who are you?”
Here’s the problem .
My actions seemed to be slapping a child who would become a cardinal soon . So what should I do?
“My name is Isyac!” (My name is Isaac!)
I smiled brightly .
“Isaac?”
“Yes!”
“Only authorized personnel can enter this mountain, how did you get in?”
“Uh, um, ···· I, I’m a sewvant of the Dubbleds . ”
He stared at me .
I must have looked so young that he couldn’t believe it .
[That guy… . . He’s checking your mana . Ugh—!]
He was checking it because I said something unbelievable .

And it wasn’t particularly rude to check only the amount of Mana .
Boone became quiet .
Anyway, Adrian seemed to have confirmed the amount of my mana and believed me .
It was because incidents often occur where a child with mana stole it from another person and used it as a tool for entering the church .
Besides, it would have been more convincing because my clothes were really plain like servants .
“Did they put servants in to serve the child of fate?”
Adrian looked at me and murmured,
“Yes, this trip must be hard for you…Go back . ”
“…Can I just gwo?” (Can I just go?)
Even though I broke the barrier?
Even an adult would have their brows squeezed 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-years-old right now . Of course, it’s New Year’s Day in about 15 days, so one could count it as nine .
‘Let’s get out of here . ’
“Kid . ”
I tried to go back, but the barrier hit me!
“Ugh… . ”
‘Boone! If you let me in, you should let me out too!’
[Child…I can’t always act as I want to . ]
Boone who didn’t notice said softly .
Then .
A thin beam of light floated up in Adrian’s hand with a small vibration .
And soon there was a small door on the barrier .
I glanced back and said, “This too, thwank you . ”
“Bye!”
I waved my hands as if nothing was wrong and left the barrier .
In the distance, I heard Lea voice,
“Where are you, little miss?”
She was looking for me . I wasn’t aware of the change that happened at the time because I was distracted running towards her .
