Chapter 106: 106

Chapter 106

TL: Zimming

After searching through jewels and minerals all day, I put the last jewel in the box while sighing.

‘How could there be none?’

None of those jewels and mineral could be a medium!

I didn’t think it would be easy to find from the beginning. But, the jewels and minerals that Seria had purchased are very special, so there would be no loss, but it was inevitable to be disappointed.

The only good thing was that my body is young, so my back wasn’t hurt from bending down too much and squatting.

I touched my Etwal.

‘Should I call the strategist and ask him?’

I think he could come up with a good idea.

After thinking so, I shook my head.

I already use some of my divine power to find the right mineral. If I call the strategist again, I wouldn’t be able to hold on.

As I looked at the jewels and minerals with a gloomy expression, the chairman said,

“We will continue to purchase jewelries and minerals. There are also quite a few minerals and jewels which haven’t been purchased. The things in the warehouse are just part of the list.”

Seria, who was next to me, gave me the list.

“If there’s anything that stands out, I’ll buy it first.”

“Alright…”

I checked the list with a sullen expression.

Some of them were jewelries that became famous in my past lives.

I was checking all of them when I saw something and blinked.

“You’ve taken some things off the list.”

There were several other jewels and minerals with notes next to them.

The origin was also written, but some were fake when I checked them, and some description were not clear,

“What is this Nogak jewel?”

“It is an imperial property. It was founded by Viscount Ostin, but it was classified as a relic and was passed onto the Emperor.”

Come to think of it, I think I’ve heard of it.

‘Where did I hear that? Nogak…’

“The virtual battle price!”

When I shouted, the chairman narrowed his forehead and asked,

“The virtual battle?”

Virtual battle is the next biggest event after the hunting battle.

The virtual battle is held once every four years, it’s an event in which children of the capital city noble aged from 8 to 15 participate.

The final winner will be given the honor of entering the Imperial Knights and get prizes given by the Emperor.

“Yeah! The emperor bet this as a prize in this year’s virtual battle.”

“I see, but I don’t think it’s particularly special than the others. There are many other gems classified as relics.”

“Hayton, the eldest son of the Duke Vallua, will participate in this year’s war.”

“The Vallua have never participated before. They’re not a very powerful family.”

It is called virtual battle because the noble children didn’t fight directly.

The participating children only commanded the battle as a captain.

In other words, a family with outstanding military resources wins.

But the Duke of Vallua doesn’t own a powerful military resources, as the chairman said, and the Duke of Vallua, who didn’t want to see his son lose, would not have let his children in.

“Hayton participated because of the church’s request.”

“What?”

I remembered it clearly.

In my second life, the cardinal himself asked for Vallua’s participation.

The church had a very good relationship with Vallua, so I thought that Hayton would get help later.

If he had the help of the church, there would be a higher possibility of him winning.

But when I find out the secret of Etwal, I have other doubts.

‘What if their purpose was Nogak?’

Hayton, unlike Niel, was clearly superior to his peers.

It would be easier and faster to convince a family with a child who is expected to win.

‘They knew that before I did. Jewels and minerals could become a medium.’

When I told the chairman about the speculation, he nodded again.

“That’s a good speculation.”

“We have to get it first.”

“It’s dangerous to collude with other families.”

“I know. So I’ll ask my brothers…ah, aura users can’t participate…”

If the knights that know how to use an aura are introduced, victory is obvious.

Virtual battle is an event to see children’s leadership skills, so aura users are not allowed to participate.

‘And all three of my brothers are aura users…’

If my brothers participate, they would definitely win.

“I have no choice but to participate.There’s no other way.”

Then, the chairman looked at the lion, the Dubbled’s symbol engraved on my coat.

“How will you persuade His Excellency and the brothers? They’ll never send you there.”

I started to feel nervous.

When I got home, the maids and my family welcomed me.

“Did you enjoy your outing today?”

My aunt smiled and said,

Today, I went outside with the excuse of studying with the chairman.

“It was fun.”

When I answered, the maids grinned and said, “Good to hear that!”

“But what about my dad and brothers?”

“They’re in the meeting room. It’ll be over soon.”

Recently, my brothers attended many meetings as a part of their education.

“I’m going there!”

“Yes.”

I greeted my aunt, took off my coat, and headed to the meeting room.

Like what my aunt said, the officials were just coming out of the meeting room.

I looked into the room and saw my dad and brothers talking.

“Speaking about this matter, Johann, you…oh, Blaine.”

Dad felt my presence and looked back.

I quickly said, “I’m back,” and approached him.

“What about Noanoke?”

“He’ll be here soon.”

He’s talking to Seria.

When I answered, Isaac put his chin on my shoulders.

“I was going to give this kid a tour of the city.”

“You want to teach her how to explode a building like when you first went on a tour?”

Henry murmured in a gentle voice, I flinched after hearing him.

‘Explode the building? How?’

When I looked scared, Isaac quickly made an excuse.

“Edgar said his house could survive even a meteor’s fall, so I only experimented with it!”

It sounds like an excuse, but his excuse is even scarier, so I went behind Henry.

Isaac said, “No, kid! I didn’t blow it up!”

Henry asked with a sweet smile,

“Shall we go get some ice cream?”

“Do you want the chocolate flavour like last time?”

I almost nodded unknowingly. But I recalled my purpose and closed my eyes tightly.

“I don’t want it…”

“There’s a jelly. Leblaine, we have your favorite orange jelly.”

‘Ice cream…Jelly…’

Both of them are really tasty.

The child in me really wanted to eat it, but I held it in.

“I don’t want that.”

My family’s expressions hardened when I said that.

“…kid refuses chocolate ice cream?”

“Leblaine, are you sick?”

“Are you hurt?”

Isaac, Henry and Johann said one after another.

I looked at them and shook my head.

At least dad was calm. But soon, my father opened his mouth.

“Doctor!!”

…Turns out, dad reacted the most.

After a while, I had a sour expression on my face.

Dad, brothers, aunt and Nos also stayed here, to see the doctor who treated me.

The doctor who received many attention, lifted my eyelids with trembling hands and examined my pupils.

“Th, there seems to be no problem…”

Isaac exclaimed even before the doctor finished speaking.

“But why did she say no to ice cream! Do you know how much that kid likes snacks? She even eats snacks when she’s crying!”

Then the maids said,

“That’s right!”

“Yes! Our little miss loves snacks very much!”

“When it’s time for a snack, she wakes up quickly. She could also recognize snacks with a quick glance!”

The doctor spoke with a pitiful expression.

“Bu, but, there is no abnormality in the diagnosis result. Her throat is a little dry and her body temperature is a little high, but if you think about it, she just got back, so it’s normal…”

“High body temperature?”

Dad asked with a cold voice.

“A cold!”

“She’s sick!”

“Pneumonia!”

No, that’s not it.

I usually have a high body temperature. Of course, my throat is dry because it is in-between seasons, and it was a common occurrence.

The maids scurried over to bring blankets and warm water.

Isaac had a nervous expression, and Henry gave me a heater nearby, Johann carefully put a blanket over my shoulder.

Dad said,

“If Blaine keeps suffering, kill the doctors.”

“Yes.”

When I saw Nos and the knights answering loudly, my face became pale.

Wait, I came here to ask for a permission, but why is the doctor’s life at a stake here!

I had a bad premonition about this.

‘What do I do…’
