Chapter 200

TL: Zimmings

“Hello there, child. Why are you here?”

“I’m here to see you.”

“Me? What brings you here…”

“The Empress Dowager has invited the cardinal! A modest tea party will be held at the Empress Dowager’s palace!”

“She invited me?”

The Empress Dowager was refusing all his requests to meet. How……

The holy knights and priests rejoiced greatly.

“Yes, child. Please tell her that we would be happy to attend.”

As the priest chuckled, Leblsine glanced at Blasio.

“I…… that…….”

“Yes?”

At the priests’ words, the child raised her eyebrows.

“She said that only Cardinal Blasio was invited… ”

“Huh? No, why… usually I will be accompanied by priests who take care of Her Majesty’s illness…”

‘Last time, she was deceived because of the atopy, no matter how stupid the Empress Dowager is, would she believe you again?’

Leblaine thought so, but shook her head unconsciously.

“I don’t know. Her Majesty only called Cardinal Blasio.”

They looked at each other with bewildered expressions. However, it was better to have at least Cardinal Blasio, the head of the temple, meet the Empress Dowager, so they quietly retreated.

The Cardinal and Leblaine went together to the Empress Dowager’s palace.

“May God’s blessing be upon the mother of the Empire.”

When the cardinal greeted the Empress Dowager by kissing the back of her gloved hand, the Empress Dowager said.

“Sit down.”

The cardinal sighed and sat down, looking at the Empress Dowager.

The Empress still seemed to have a grudge against the temple. Unwilling to even glance at Cardinal Blasio, she beckoned Leblaine with kindness.

“Child, come here. I have prepared sweets that you like.”

“Thank you, Your Majesty!”

“Come, come. Why did you come this far?”

She didn’t know what to do with Dubblede’s little lady. Leblaine glanced at Blasio, who was trying to figure out the situation as she munched the cookies that the Empress Dowager had given her.

‘You don’t know why the Empress Dowager loves me so much?’

The emperor paid attention not to let the incident fall into the temple’s ears.

Before the incident, the Empress Dowager didn’t dote on Leblaine, so they didn’t know why the Empress Dowager was suddenly like this.

‘That’s because I helped the Empress Dowager!’

It was all for Dubblede and herself to help Deglid recover and erase the notion of poisoning. But the Empress Dowager didn’t know that this cute little girl stepped up for her own good.

As evidence of that, when she first visited the Empress Dowager’s palace, she held Leblaine’s hand and wept.

“You are my benefactor. You saved me from falling for her tricks.”

‘Anyway, that’s a good thing for me.’

Leblaine said with a smile.

“It’s delicious, Your Majesty!”

“Is that so? I have to give a big prize to those who have made snacks that you like.”

The Empress Dowager really loves herself. Leblaine looked at Cardinal Blasio while the Empress Dowager handed over a bag of gold coins to the servant.

“You know, Cardinal Blasio.”

“Yes?”

“Adrian said that you are a good person. Ah, me and Adrian are good friends.”

Blasio’s eyes shone sharply.

‘Dubblede seems to be pushing the 2nd prince to the throne.’

But Leblaine thought,

‘You think we’re pushing Adrian to the throne?’

No!

We’re going to be royals, no need to push anyone blatantly like this. Leblaine smiled and said to the Empress Dowager.

“Your Majesty, Your Majesty.”

“Oh, yes, child.”

“You know the priest who gave Your Majesty some bad medicine the other day?”

“……Yes. There was such a person.”

The Empress Dowager looked at Blasio, a member of the same temple, with displeased eyes. Leblaine said as Blasio shook his head.

“Blasio insisted on punishing the bad priest.”

“……Really?”

“Yes! My aunt said that Blasio was the first to say that they should punish the priest who was blinded by greed for giving the Empress Dowager a terrible drug.”

The Empress Dowager’s eyes softened slightly. She looked at Blasio and said, “Is that so?”

“Huh? Ah… yes.”

It wasn’t for the Empress Dowager.

Blasio’s insistence on the punishment was nothing more than to save himself.

He was afraid that the aftermath would impact him.

“Your Majesty, Your Majesty. Cardinal Blasio is facing a big exam this time.”

“Exam?”

When the Empress Dowager asked, Blasio answered.

“Each cardinal has different responsibilities. Most of them work for their chosen subjects, but for the first cardinal, they lead a province.”

“So you are aiming for the position of first cardinal.”

“That’s right.”

Blasio replied.

Leblaine put her cookies down and put her hands together.

“Your Majesty is the most powerful person after His Majesty, so can you help Blasio?”

“… It’s not hard to say a word to the pope. But, child, I have no reason to help him.”

“Your Majesty, I have always admired Cardinal Blasio. Unlike other cardinals, he always works hard for the people. And, and…….”

“And?”

“I’m also going to be educated at the temple now, so I hope Blasio will be my teacher… But since I am a child of fate, he needed to be a high-ranking cardinal.”

At the child’s words, the Empress Dowager and Cardinal Blasio opened their eyes.

The Empress Dowager was worried.

‘Her teacher……. Since Camilla became the godmother of this child, I couldn’t do anything. If I appointed her teacher at the temple, I could push Camilla out and become this child’s godmother.’

She’s a child of fate who receives a lot of affection from the Duke of Dubblede.

Everyone wanted to get close to her.

Thanks to this child, her godmother Camilla’s influence was growing day by day.

But if this child comes into her hands…

‘I will not have much to worry about. Cecilia is supported by Dubblede. If I have this child in my hand whom Dubblede loves, I can use Cecilia.’

The Empress Dowager smiled brightly.

“Yes. It’s the child’s request, what can I do? I am not an ungrateful old woman.”

“If I had a grandmother, would she be as nice as Your Majesty?”

When Leblaine blinked and spoke, Empress Dowager chuckled.

“You can just think of me like your grandma instead.”

“But…….”

“Someone with honorable title is a member of the imperial family. No one could refute it if you call me your grandma. If someone harasses you, tell me, I’m going to give them a lesson.”

The Empress Dowager really did not know what to do with Leblaine’s cuteness.

Leblaine thought if the Emperor hears that, he’s going to have a headache again.

The Empress Dowager rubbed the child’s cheek and said to Blasio.

“I will convey my will to the pope.”

“T-thank you, Your Majesty!”

Blasio bent over several times.

‘What kind of luck is this!’

If the Empress Dowager request that to the pope, he would have no choice but to nod his head and make him the first cardinal.

Blasio, who left the Empress Dowager Palace with me, had a confused expression.

“Why are you helping me?”

I tilted my head pretending not to know.

“Huh?”

“There’s no reason for you to help me.”

“I really admire you… did you have a hard time because of it?”

Blasio waved his hands as I raised my eyebrows and pretended to be helpless.

“No, it couldn’t be!”

“Wow-!”

I jumped, pretending to be overjoyed, and held out my hands to Cardinal Blasio.

“Grab this.”

“Pardon?”

“My hand. My legs hurts…….”

“Ah, yes!”

He chuckled and took my hand. I walked next to him and glanced at him with a happy face.

“By the way, Cardinal.”

I looked around and whispered.

“I’ll show it only to the cardinal.”

“What is it?”

I showed him a pattern that copied the pattern that appeared on Mina’s body.

“Something like this suddenly appeared.”

“…….”

Cardinal Blasio’s gaze flickered slightly.

“So the rumors are true… the temple hadn’t verified it, so I thought it was a rumor this time too…”

No, it’s fake. I made it with Trigon.

But I pretended not to know anything.

“Am I really the child of fate?”

“Of course. Who would dare to call you a fake after this?”

“So now it’s time for me to get an education at the temple, right?”

“That’s right. I will try my best to be your teacher if I get the chance.”

Of course. Child of fate’s teacher was a coveted position.

‘In my previous life, everyone hated me because they thought I was a fake, but there was an uproar over Mina’s teacher.’

“I want Blasio to be my teacher.”

“Of course.”

Blasio’s eyes flashed with greed.

‘Good, good. I chose you because you’re the most greedy out of the cardinals.’

“But I have a question about the prophecy…….”

“Ah, yes. We’re still interpreting.”

“Actually, I can read it.”

“Huh?! How did you…!”

“I don’t know. I could just read it, but other people couldn’t. Maybe it’s because I’m the child of fate. Can I read it? Will that help you? If it’s helpful to you, I’ll read it!”

When I spoke brightly, the cardinal gave me a thrilled expression.

“In fact, I wrote it secretly. I’m also trying to interpret it alone.”

The cardinal pulled a note from his pocket.

[Child of God. On the night when the red moon rises, she will escape from the wrong world and descend into her true world.]

It was also a prophecy about Mina.

I said with my eyes wide open.

“It is said that on the day the red moon rises, evil beings will come here! So we had to keep the door shut! It’s a big deal! A monster must be coming!”

God language or whatever. Do you think I’m going to give up?

No, I’ll use this chance to my advantage.
