“… . Huh?”
Urso’s hand was twisted bizarrely at some point and,
Boom—!!!
He flew off and bumped into the wall .
Boom, Boom, Boom, Boom!
A crushed chair flew above his head, under his feet, and into his arms . Like a dart .
It happened so fast there was no time for him to scream
‘Oh wow…’
I admired what Boone did, but Urso was on the verge of collapsing .
In the chapel, only the footsteps of Boone echoed slowly .
He gazed at Urso, whose face was looking blue with eyes dull .
“Foolish… . ”
Urso’s eyes grew round . It was only after hearing his voice that he knew, Boone was a man .
“Is it better for the scrotum to be crushed, or is it better to bend the penis?”
“Wha,what… . what…”
“Oh, don’t worry . If you don’t like both, there’s also a way to pop your buttocks, bastard . ”
Urso, who turned pale, looked urgently at the door .
“Ou, out there! Anybody out there?! Hey! Help me!”
He shouted, but it was quiet outside .
‘If someone was coming, they would have come already . ’
The presence of the knights in front of the door disappeared when Urso entered . He must have bribed the knight in the chapel to shut up .
It was causal retribution .
“Who, who, who are you? An assassin sent from Dorie Farm? Or by the village chief? Uh, it doesn’t matter where you’re from . I’ll give you three times the gold they paid!”
“You must have saved a lot of money . I don’t know how much you’ve stolen from the surrounding area . ”
But Boone was not impressed at all . He held Urso’s neck up and raised his other hand . His fingernails stretched long, sharpened like blades .
“Stop!”
I ran out quickly .
Urso’s eyes went wide as if they could fall any time soon .
“Ywo can’t kill him now . ” (You can’t kill him now)
“But, there are people in the world who are not worth living . ”
“I know but ywo cwan’t (I know, but you can’t . )”
This man was supposed to check my divine power .
If anything happens to Urso ahead of the rechecking, they’ll think that Dubbled did it to monopolize my divine power .
Boone looked displeased, but soon let go of Urso’s neck .
Urso was dropping down the wall, as he fell to the floor .
“Ch, child of fate?”
Then he looked at Boone like he’s going to tear him apart .
“Oh, so you’re Dubbled’s escort . Why are you here? You dare to try and hurt a priest?!”
“Seems lwaik this pewsom hasn’t figuwed out the sitwuatuon yet . ” (Seems like this person hasn’t figured out the situation yet . )
Urso, who was shouting with harsh words, looked at me with wide eyes .
He must have realized that I wasn’t just a kid .
“You, you… . . ”
I looked at Boone .
“Bweat him up, but not too mwuch just enough for him to make a convowsation . ” (Beat him up, but not too much just enough for him to make a conversation)
Urso’s face hardened, and Boone’s face brightened .

“Dowie Farm, Rotwail, Panjiwene, village chief, Baron Panoch . ”
I pinched my fingers, calling out the names of the people Urso had stolen from .
Then she looked at Urso, who looked pale and tired .
“This is it?”
“Yes, that’s it!”
“You’we lying to me . Awe you joking?”
When he glanced at Boone, Urso flinched and muttered,
“To Modeland Hospital and some of the money lenders … . ”
He must’ve stolen a lot .
I looked at Boone again . Then Urso shook his shoulder as he was about to be beaten up again by Boone .
‘Boone, can you make a ‘contract’ even if you didn’t call the devil yourself?’
I asked inwardly, and Boone answered silently .
[If you don’t need my powers, you can use your divine power to sign a contract . ]
Boone’s speciality was in necromancy . He could call out a dead soul .

“Can the pwiest awso sighn a contwact with the dwevil?” (Can the priest also sign a contract with the devil?)
“Every type of human being can initiate a contract with me . ”
I nodded, as Urso’s face was struck with astonishment .
“De, devil… . ?”
“Yes . ”
“The child of fate calls out the devil . What a terrible thing?!”
“I think you’we no bettew than me, you’we been pocketing people’s money . ”
“How is it worse than calling out a devil?! I will only be dismissed, but you will be in prison!”
I answered with a smile .
“It’s okay . You will sign a contwact whetew you want it ow not . ”
“I must be going crazy…to make a contract with the devil…!”
When Urso shouted, Boone grabbed him and dunked him to the floor .
“If you raise your voice anymore in front of the child, I won’t be patience with you . ”
Urso breathed in and became weak .
I squatted down and looked at Urso .
“Don’t worry . You’we not on the losing side in this contwact . ”
“Wha, what can I get if I sign a contract?”
“You can’t die here and you can go out . ”
I laughed brightly .
“Look, it’s not your loss, is it?”
He couldn’t say a word, and his expression was dim .
I looked at Boone .
“Give me a contract . ”
Boone looked a little dissatisfied . But soon he sighed .
I told him the contents of the contract .
1 . Urso can’t tell anyone what happened in the chapel today and the identity of Leblaine .
2 . Urso has to give back all the money he has taken from his people .
3 . When all the contract conditions are kept, Leblaine will not kill Urso .
“One last thing . ”
I whispered a fourth condition in his ear .

The next day .
I dozed off while Lea clothed me .
“Are you tired?”
Lea asked with a worried look on her face, so I nodded .
“Yes . ”
“Do you want to go to the medical centre?”
I quickly shook my head .
“It’s okay, I just feel sweepy . ” (It’s okay, I feel sleepy)
“We’ll go back to Dubbled this evening . I’m going to take out a new comfy blanket for you . ”
“Give me stawbewwies, too . ”
When I spoke earnestly, Lea smiled and kissed my cheek .
“I’ll put a lot of cream on it . ”
Exciting!
I clasped Lea’s hand, shouting “Hooray” inside .
When I stepped outside, the priests from the central church had already arrived .
“We finally meet, little miss . ”
When the two priests greeted me, the young priest looked at them in amazement .
“Wow…”
In a brief summary of the church of the Wigentra Empire .
The pope and cardinal were placed in the Vatican .
The central church was protected by 21 priests and small and medium-sized churches stretched like tree trunks throughout the empire .
The position of Priests belonged to neither commoners nor nobles .
Even though someone was born a commoner, they enjoyed the right of a nobleman if they became a believer .
Among such priests, the central church, where only the most outstanding people were selected, was the object of admiration .
Back then, everyone found out that I was a fake, so I didn’t know that the priests of the central church could behave like this .
‘Until my 9th birthday, I was treated nicely . ’
I was even taken to the Vatican once just because I fell and scraped my knee .
However, when I failed to improve my divine power to the level they wanted on my ninth birthday, their attitudes changed .
They were totally disappointed, not a single man, even in the church, regarded me as the child of fate .

It was around that time that the Duke of Vallua began to abuse me .
We headed to the front room for the recheck .
Urso was there in advance .
Priests from the central church, who saw him wearing a bandage, clucked their tongues .
“Please be more careful on this important day… . ”
Urso looked at me with a gaze that contained a lot of emotions, but soon avoided my eyes when I glared .
As soon as I went up to the circular platform that was present in the room, the priest of the central church said,
“We’ve checked your divine power before . If you sit still and count until 100, it’ll be over soon, so don’t worry . ”
The priest said soothingly .
Behind me, Lea made a clenched fist to cheer me on .
Two of the central church’s priests and Urso encircled the platform . With one knee bent, the bowed ones began to pray . My body was getting hotter, and I swallowed .
***
After the checking, the faces of the priests who left the room were bright . It was a clearly different scene from my first life when my divine power hovered at the bottom .
“I was really worried that the child of fate may lack divine power . Finally, her divine power improves, I’m glad . ”
“I’ll hurry back and tell them the good news . ”
The central church priests emphasized Urso’s role as the leader of the northwest church .
The church in the northwest was in a festive mood after the priest of the central church returned back to vatican .
As long as the child of fate was real, the status of the northwestern church could be compared to the central church .
“If only the child of fate grows safely, wouldn’t we be able to move her to our side?”
“No problem . But the first beneficiary would be the central church . ”
“Wouldn’t it be better for Urso, to be the first beneficiary?”
“Yes, now all the churches around here must be bent on taking over that child’s education . We need to secure her first–“
But Urso went into the room, closing the door roughly without answering .
The priests shook their heads, clucking their tongue .
“In the meantime, Urso…”
“Yes, he doesn’t seem to know what’s important . ”
“It’s lamentable . ”
Urso, who was listening to the voices of the priest outside the door, violently struck the desk .
‘I need to be the beneficiary? Bullshit!’
If they know what I did back then, I would be taken to a trial .
‘I manipulated the child of fate’s result!’
