Chapter 197: 91.2

It was a feeling I had never experienced before. My body became so hot that it was hard to breathe, and the power I had always dealt within me was split into thousands of waus, making it impossible to control.

“Ah…”

My mind went black.

It was too much to bear on its own. Even though the floor trembled, my mind got excited over the single thought of saving my mother.

‘No, I have to hold it in. You can’t save her like this.’

But it was the first time I experienced happiness.

I wanted to live here with my mom for a long time. I found my real father and I found my twin brother, I didn’t expect to be here.

Now that everything has been revealed and there are only happy things left, why did it turn out like this?

‘But I’m sad…’

I’m sure it’s because my mom brought back our memories. Since then, my mom hasn’t been well. Then, even if time goes back in the end or both my mom and I die again, it wouldn’t be much different from before.

‘After all, I can’t come here.’

When we come here, my mom will try to reveal everything and she’ll be like this again.

That’s how I was devoured by my power.

Obviously, my mind was intact, but the power I didn’t want would come back. As if representing my mind, which had been sharpened, the power became a sharp thorn and spread in all directions. It was the cruelly cold and bitter thorns that could hurt anyone.

I didn’t mean to hurt anyone. It’s just that my mind wasn’t the subject, but it had already happened.

‘No, I don’t want to hurt anyone…’

However, the anger that became me threw itself into the dangerous thorns.

Then, my dad next to me hugged me.

“Wake up! Don’t let yourself be overwhelmed, Bebe.”

I raised my head very slowly at the sound of my dad’s unusually sad voice. I noticed it belatedly, the fact that all those thorns got stuck on my dad’s body.

“Oh…”

“Are you okay?”

The emotion that had been fiercely controlling my body until just now had quickly calmed down. Was it because of my dad’s warmth, or did he know that I attacked him?

In an instant, tears fell from my eyes.

“Ah, Dad…!”

I calmed down and looked at my dad.

“Are you okay, Bebe?”

“I… I… Dad…”

Red blood slowly seeped through Dad’s exceptionally thin clothes. As soon as I saw my dad hurt because of what I did wrong, tears that I had been holding back flowed down.

“Sorry… Sorry… I didn’t mean to… hurt you…”
Only then did my dad, who slightly lifted me from his arms and wiped away my tears, smile at me.

“It’s not your fault.”

“No… I attacked my dad. I-I just…”

“It’s just like that. You don’t know how to use your strength yet. It’s just a small thing that happened because you know how to unleash that powerful force but don’t know how to handle it.”

“It’s not a small thing! My dad got hurt…!”

Why do I always hurt someone?

I can’t even save my mom… I must be really useless.

“It’s because I was too reckless. It’s not your fault.”

“But…”

“Don’t worry. These wounds will heal quickly.”

“Dad…”

“I didn’t mean to hide it from you because you were young. I must have thought wrong, so I’ll tell you what’s going on and why I wanted you to leave.”

I nodded very slowly at those words that soothed me. After wiping the tears that kept flowing, I looked at my dad.

“Good Bebe.”

My dad’s hand patted my head lightly.

“Are you sure you’re okay…?”

“Of course. I’ve had wounds more painful than this. In comparison, this doesn’t hurt.”

“Okay…”

I couldn’t tell if he was trying to reassure me or if it was true…
‘It must be a lie.’

In the meantime, my father cleared his voice, as if trying to change the topic.

“More than that, about your mother… do you remember what the priest said last time?”

“Yes…”

“Actually, Adele isn’t in a very good condition. I don’t know why, but she’s in a dangerous condition. She’s barely holding on to the priest’s power for so long… but that was just temporary. The priest said so. Since she last healed, we can’t be sure if she can wake herself up again if it happens again.”

I thought it would be something like that, but when I heard it directly from my dad’s mouth, I felt like my eyes darkened.

“Mom is…”

“It’s not that there’s no way to save her. She can live if you pray, but Bebe, you know that you and your mom can’t be caught by the Emperor, right?”
