Chapter 42: 42
Urso did something that could be criticized for generations .
‘The divine power inherent in the child was even more than before . ’
Like a lake with spring water, her body was filled with purity and divine power .
He couldn’t confirm the exact amount, but at least 21 priests in the central church- no, it was a tremendous divine power comparable to a cardinal .
And all of that while maintaining the devil .
What’s even more bizarre was that the terrible girl knew how to manipulate the divine verification .
“Fabricate the result? That can’t be possible!”
“Vewificatwion is a way to cweck how much my divine powel is . But what if you draw my divine powel towads you during the verification? So in the end, my divine power will not be enormous ” (Verification is a way to check how much my divine power is . But what if you draw my divine power towards you during the verification? So in the end, my divine power will not be enormous . )
As confident as they were, the priests did not notice their tricks .
“Evil Bitch . ”
‘Do you think I will silently keep suffering like this?’
Urso’s eyes shone wickedly .
‘1 . Urso can’t tell anyone what happened in the chapel today and the identity of LeBlaine . ’
One of the contract’s clauses from yesterday was this .
‘In other words, if I don’t tell what happened at the chapel yesterday—’
Urso’s lips curled up .
“Krux!”
When he shouted, an old man with a broad back came in .
“Ha, have you called? Ur, Urso . ”
“Come here and write a letter to tell them something before the priests arrive . ”
“Ho, how should I write the letter?”
When Urso explained the whole situation, Krux said, “Ah!” and nodded quickly .
“The child of fate lessened her divine power on purpose, would that be enough?”
Urso grinned at Krux’s words .
It was Krux who repeatedly sent fake letters to the system to extort money from the people around him .
They were in perfect harmony without saying much .
As Krux finished the letter and grabbed the doorknob, Urso beckoned him .
“Bring in girls to a few bedrooms before you leave the church . ”
“Wh, who shall we go with?”
“Young girls taste good . ”
Seeing Krux scurrying out, Urso raised his lips .
‘Who dares to threaten whom . ’
So far, their level of intelligence seemed to be a lot different .
The moment her limbs get torn in the church, she will realize who she had touched and would come to regret the arrogance she had shown previously .
Urso left the room with a smirk .
After a while, Urso opened a bedroom door and went in .
Krux had placed the girl on the bed .
Urso closed the curtains and approached the bed .
“This girl has no sense . You should have taken off your clothes before I came–“
Suddenly, a sharp fingernail pierced through his chest .
“I got bored while waiting for you, old man . ”
“AAGH—!”
Red blood dripped on his back pierced by the sharp fingernails .
“Wh-,why…Promise, you had promised to keep me… . Aliv…”
At Urso’s words, Boone answered as he twisted his hand further .
“The promise…”
“It meant that the child wouldn’t kill you, but I never said that I would spare you . ”
The staggering Urso shuddered and collapsed .
“It is natural for molesters and sexual assaulters to die,” Leblaine had said so before .

Boone arrived at the chapel where I was waiting with a bright smile .
“I’ve done all the work you told me to do . ”
Then he handed over a letter .
I opened the envelope and quickly went through what was written .
It was a statement about the child of fate’s divine power .
‘He behaved as I expected . ’
I shrugged my shoulders and burned the letter with the lighted candle placed in the chapel .
“As you said, I met his assistant and moved him to the pervert’s room . ”
A man named Krux was forced to follow Urso’s words, and Boone tried to save him .
However, Krux’s face, who left the room with the letter, was clearly happy .
“Thi, this time I can buy a big house and leave . ”
“Good job . ”
With a proud expression, Boone grinned .
“Little miss is very clever . ”
Boone was strangely naive, even though he was a devil .
‘Then . ’
She opened a box and a piece of jewelry came into her view . She had made Urso unlock it yesterday, so the possibility of something being wrong with it was unlikely .
It was the Goddess’s tears . She took it out of the box and went back .
With this, she could send Boone back and she also won’t be taken to the central church . In the process, she had also dealt with a bad guy .
‘It’s killing three birds with one stone . ’

When I thought that, Boone said,
“You’re so wicked, just like the devil! As expected, you’re evil enough to call me . I hope you will continue to do your best and become even more evil . ”
When I saw his eyes glistening with satisfaction I was a little dumbfounded .
***
The northwest church was in turmoil .
Urso, the church’s leader, was found dead, and his servant, Krux, was named the murderer .
In addition, Kruk’s confession was carried out, and Urso’s sins were fully revealed .
Some even said that Urso was responsible for the Goddess’s tears’ disappearance .
It was he who had terminated the barrier, so it was only a matter of time before it was confirmed .
“Little miss, a problem came up, so we couldn’t get permission to get out . ”
Lea said with a troubled look .
Before Krux admitted to his sins, they couldn’t get anyone out of the church .
It was within my prediction so I nodded .
“If I tell the master this news, he’ll take care of it soon . Please wait and play with the soldiers here for a while . ”
“Yes . ”
“If you behave nicely when we go back to the castle, I’ll give you ten strawberries . ”
“Yes!”
When I answered loudly, Lea laughed and left the garden .
I took a walk in the church’s garden while the soldiers followed me around .
The child in me wanted to run like a wild horse in this huge garden, but I held back and walked slowly .
“Little miss always behaves well . ”
When a Dubbled’s servant said that, I responded with a storm of nods .
‘Yes, I behave nicely, so please tell Lea when she comes back . ’
Then Lea will give me 10 strawberries with cream on them .
I laughed brightly .
But it was strange .
As I walked forward, I saw marks of water on the dry grass, and my bag became wet like it was raining .
‘Huh?’
It was wet like this, but there was no mud on my shoes .
I blinked as I thought I saw something, and I was amazed .
It was the fish made of water that I saw yesterday .
“Fish······!”
As I shouted unintentionally, the servants and soldiers looked up at me .
“What?”
Usually, people might get surprised seeing a fish like this, but they were quiet .

[It seems like the others can’t see it . ]
‘I think so . ’
The fish swirled around me, wagging its tail .
‘You want me to come with you? Where to? Did something happen to their master, Adrian?’
[It’s none of your business . ]
Boone was right . There’s no need for me to care .
But .
But…
‘It is hard because my mind, which was of a child’s, still has a conscience . ’
I looked back at the servants and soldiers as I sighed deeply .
“I want to pway hide and seek . ” (I want to play hide and seek . )
I put my hands together and looked up at the people of Dubbled with a desperate expression .
This was my special move that had even captured Dubbled’s family .
“Hide and seek, right now!”
“Hurry up!”
Nodding satisfactorily, I pointed to the man who had to be gone if I wanted to go look for Adrian .
“The lwieutenant genewal will be the twagger, count to a hundwed . ”
(The lieutenant general will be the tagger . Count to a hundred . )”
“Yes!”
The lieutenant general, who answered as if he was under the command of the Duke, hide his face while turning towards a tree and shouted, “One, two, three—“
I ran in a rush .
‘Lea said she’d give me ten strawberries if I behave well . ’
I won’t let those fishes go if it turns out to be nothing .
The place where the fish were headed was in front of the huge wooden floor .
Adrian was sitting alone while holding something .
Another fish made of water lay still in his hand .
‘It’s made of divine power . ’
Like the pair of fish that came to pick me up .
I wondered if Adrian was seriously injured, or it could be that his divine power was diminishing, but it looked like it was time for the fishes to disappear .
Something created by the condensation of divine power does not last long .
It disappears just as the power is scattered into nature .
His eyes were blank and seemed worn out .
I crouched down carefully and looked at him .
“Ywo can cweate it awgain . ” (You can create it again)

So don’t make that face .
It bothers me when a child has such an expression .
Adrian looked up at me .
“……How?”
Adrian quieted down .
Excuse me, making a barrier, and making things from divine power was different .
You could learn how to make a barrier from a church or a book, but no one teaches you how to make things from divine power .
It is useless because it is not as sturdy as a real human being or animal . Even if it was created by a priest, it could only last for three days . Above all, it took a lot of hard work .
“How did you make the thing?”
When asked, Adrian looked at the fish that was in his hand .
“I just… woke up and it was next to me . ”
“When?”
“In the morning when I was recovering from Rubella . ”
“You’re sending our kids to Prince Adrian’s birthday party? My God, honey! Would you like to see our kids in the eyes of Empress Yvonne? The prince got rubella!”
I remembered the words of the Duchess Vallua .
‘If it’s rubella, it happened when this kid was six years old . ’
There’s no way I could’ve misheard that .
‘So, you kept the fish for two years?’
Usually, no matter how long, a week is the limit . Indeed, he owns a huge amount of power to be appointed as the youngest cardinal .
Adrian looked at me .
“Can you save it again?”
Boone grumbled at the boy’s words .
[He is a strange human being . Why did he focus his mind on something that is made with divine power? Child, let’s go back . ]
Boone tried to persuade me, saying,
[Your ten precious strawberries are disappearing . ]
But I couldn’t move easily .
There is only one case in which a child who does not own a friend can create a thing . It was because they were desperate enough for it .
Adrian must have been desperately hoping for someone’s company when he suffered .
The empress and his maternal grandfather regarded their grandson as just a tool of power .
The emperor did not take care of his son, and many people repeatedly plotted against him . No one spoke to the child trapped all alone in the great palace . Neither did someone reach their hand out to him nor did anyone want the child to live .
That’s why he had created those things unconsciously .
‘Just as I did in my first life . ’
Of course, I wasn’t as strong as Adrian at the time, so they disappeared in less than an hour .
I remembered crying silently under a blanket because of their disappearance .
I’m sure Adrian feels the same right now as I did back then .
I reached out to him carefully .
