Chapter 66

TL:Zimming

“I’ll be back again.”

“Please.”

After receiving Seria’s greetings, I tore up the teleportation sheet. When I opened my eyes again, I was in my room.

‘That’s too bad.’

I can’t teleport to a place more than 5 kilometers. Only those weighing less than 30 kilograms can be teleported, but they cost as much as 300,000 francs per sheet.

Back then, Mina was also shocked after hearing the price

“It’s 300,000 francs, so it’s 300 million won?!”

I don’t know how much money 300 million won is, but I know that 300,000 francs are a year worth of money for most noble ladies.

‘I bought two pieces.’

My heart aches thinking how much I spent today.

‘But the relationship between the empress and the church will be irrevocably strained, and this much money is a worthy investment.’

Thinking that way, I changed into pajamas and hugged the doll that was lying on my bed.

***

Adolf was imprisoned for failing to prove that his medicine had no problem.

It was only natural that the country was overturned because the empress and the priest were intertwined.

The Empress woke up, but she was difficult to appease.

The Emperor was very angry at the fact that Adolf had done harm to the royal family, regardless of intention and error. Even the Pope tried to appease him

but the emperor was not willing.

Adolf will be publicly executed.

The church didn’t know anything about this before, so they were very shocked.

The church’s reputation will plummet if Adolf, one of the 21 priests – is sentenced to public execution.

It was not just a matter of reputation, but a declaration by the emperor that he would reduce the power of the church.

Of course, the church blamed the top of the hope and tried to get Adolf out.

Since they couldn’t find any signs of side effects due to the top of hope thorough supervision, they tried to threaten us. But because of our preparation, they didn’t find anything to threaten us.

Watching the situation, I laughed inwardly.

I tried to separate only the empress and the church, but even the emperor was caught.

It was thanks to Adolf, who was digging his own grave.

***

I went down the stairs and approached my father who was about to leave.

“Are you going out again today?”

“Yes.”

“Be careful.”

As I said so, my dad gritted his teeth.

Yesterday he said that he was going to tear up and kill Adolf with his own hands. The Adolf incident has made dad extremely busy. There were meetings of the great noble families every day, and the emperor brought the Duke of Dubbled as if to irritate the church.

I saw my father off by giving him a hug.

After my father left, I was hanging around in front of the door, and Javelin approached me.

Javelin also has a schedule at the Imperial Palace today. It was because the noble ladies gathered to visit the Empress.

When I saw her, I said, “Wow…”

Javelin, wearing a furry coat over a dark brown trousers and a peacock feathered hat shaped like a boat, looks really cool.

“Goodbye!”

When I said so, Javelin looked at me for a moment.

“Get inside.”

“Yes.”

‘Okay, I’ve had 10 seconds of eye contact today!’

I recently saw Javelin off whenever she went away.

She had a schedule outside almost everyday, so I woke up at dawn and saw her off.

She didn’t even notice me at first, but she made eye contact with me today!

Lea, who was waiting in the back said,

“You must be alone again today. Should I get you a book to read?”

Javelin suddenly paused,

“Is she all alone today?”

Lea answered,

“Yes, everyone went to the meeting today.”

Isaac refused, but was dragged away by Henry. This is an opportunity for them create a strong network of people, as it is a gathering of children of the nobles. My family members have a lot of schedules these days, so I had been mostly alone lately.

Javelin narrowed her brows, glanced at me, and said,

“Get ready to go out and come with me.”

“The little miss?”

“Yes, I’ll take her.”

Me and Lea opened our eyes wide.

I was surprised because I didn’t know Javelin would say such a thing.

Originally, she’s supposed to bring me to places and introduce me to the ladies, but she didn’t want to be close to me.

Dad and my brothers didn’t force Javelin to introduce me either because they didn’t want me to do social activities.

Lea hurriedly took me away, saying, “Hold on a second.”

“Clothes…! Coats and shoes for going out!”

After hearing from Lea, Laura and the maids rushed around and clothed me.

As I hurried down, I saw Javelin waiting for me.

“Let’s go.”

“Yes.”

I followed her and climbed onto the carriage.

It was silent in the carriage. I looked at her and said, “Thank you.”

“Why?”

It was her duty to introduce me, but she looks confused as to why I was grateful to her.

“You’re taking me with you because I’m all alone!”

As I spoke brightly, she narrowed her forehead.

“You’re such a weirdo.”

“Pardon?”

“How do you hang around me every time even though you know I’m avoiding you?”

“But it’s only natural that Javelin hates me.”

“Why?”

“I was sent from the church. Adopting an orphan from the commoner, Dubbled’s name was damaged, and I also went into your room without consent…”

“Who told you that?”

“Everyone does. People in Dubbled say it’s only natural if you hate me. I think so too.”

Even at the banquet hall of the festival, there were many noble ladies who were so reluctant to talk to me. If she introduces me to the nobles, it will be hard.

Javelin sighed with her arms folded.

“The reason I avoided you is not because of you alone.”

“What?”

“It’s because I was narrow minded.”

“……”

“Whether you’re from the church or an orphan and a commoner, that’s not a reason you’ll be hated. That’s because many people are narrow minded.”

I stared at Javelin.

I’ve never heard someone said that directly, so my heart was pounding.

“Thank you…”

“Wear your hat properly. Your ears are freezing.”

Javelin, who said so, turned her gaze towards the window.

I answered energetically, “Yes!” and covered my ears with my hat.

***

Arriving at the palace, Javelin introduced me briefly to the ladies.

After greeting, I went into the palace of the Empress Dowager.

There were many people in the room, so I couldn’t see the Empress’s face.

“You came.”

The empress said with a tired voice, the noble ladies tried to console her by blaming the priest.

“How can the priest make such a terrible mistake, Your Majesty?”

“The truth is still being investigated. Whoever makes this happen will be severely punished.”

It was Javelin’s turn to speak.

“I hope you recover soon.”

That was the end.

Even though everyone knows of Javelin’s personality. She’s so popular, the places and the people she visited will get the attention just by coming, so they will be satisfied with that.

“I brought the child of fate.”

“Yes.”

“Oh, child, come here. Hold my hand.”

The empress reached out to her little hand.

A red rash was seen with her stretched hand.

‘It’s a rebound.’

It’s clear that Luminous medicine has caused her to collapse, so she must have stopped taking them.

If they cut off the luminous medicine at once, the wounds will become even worse. It’s because she wanted to hide her skin disease.

But at this rate, there’s already a rumor about her skin diseases.

As expected, the ladies pretended not to know about the red marks on Empress’s hand.

I said without hesitation.

“Your Majesty, you have a red thing on your hand.”

The empress tried to take her hand back, but I pretended to be innocent and held it with both hands.

“Itchy, isn’t it? I know this.”

“….what?”

“It’s called atopy!”

“Atopy?”

It’s not a deadly disease but it’ll be a headache in the future.

Aristocratic children suffered especially a lot, and it wasn’t until I was 18 that the reason was revealed.

‘Divine healing.’

Children who received healing in their mother’s stomach are oddly less healthy than other children.

That’s because divine healing completely purifies the body and destroys most of the germs.

Many germs weren’t just bad. Some germs healed and strengthened the immune system, and there were germs that were beneficial.

However, as they cleanse them all, their immunity worsens. And for some reason, it even caused skin diseases like that, or they were born with them from the beginning.

Right now, only those who grew up in the church often received it, but in the future, all of the nobles who were friendly with the church would receive it.

‘That’s why in the future I will see many people with atopy.’

That’s why the Luminous medicine was developed.

“Isn’t it itchy when you eat greasy food?”

“Ye,yes.”

“It get worse in winter.”

“That’s right!”

“I saw it when I was in the nursery.”

Everyone’s eyes were on me now.

“Oh my god, when you were in the nursery, you were less than five years old, you remember that?”

“Rather than that, I am more surprised by your observing ability.”

While the noble ladies were whispering, I looked at the empress’ wounds.

“I know how to make this less painful.”

The empress looks excited.

“What should I do…?”

I will serve you at an expensive price, customer.

I smiled inwardly and looked at the empress.
