Chapter 17: CH 17

I closed my eyes and waited.

Nanny Linda, who was looking at me, looked in a different direction, and the sound of footsteps slowly faded away.

Step. Step. Step.

As soon as the door closed, my eyes opened.

‘Now.’

I looked down at the rabbit doll I was hugging.

It had a soft texture and pink fur like my hair. The doll, Tosun, that I had grown attached to was a gift I got when I first came to the Sun Palace. I put Tosun on the spot where I was lying on my behalf and got up using magic.

‘Just as always, just as always.’

Just as divinity condenses to create a secret pattern, magic condenses into a magic circle, into circles and formulas with multiple meanings. When the magic circle looks like the one in the spellbook, the circle shines.

‘Magical Ink Sepia has the property of condensed magic. If you pour magic on the circle painted with sepia, the magic will automatically move according to the shape of the ink, making the circle magical.’

If you know the principle, you can find alternative ways. Even without sepia, if you make the circle with condensed magic it will become a magic circle!

“Kkya.”

In the place where the magic circle created light, which faded, there Evenna was. In her place was Tosun, sleeping in her bed.

〈Advanced spell: Transfiguration〉

It was one of the spells I saw in my Mom’s spellbook.

It took a lot of concentration and effort to create a circle by gathering mana. Fortunately, ever since I was young, I always made the divinity pattern, so I was able to make the circle.

The results of the baptism seen in the temple were enormous. Now I can use magic to walk around even during the day, not just at night.

“Hehehe.”

I went round and round on the crib, with my closed eyes, pink hair covering my forehead, and the sound of breathing. I did this.

‘It seems to be getting more and more natural. Maybe I have a little talent for magic?’

Rumble!

I quietly laughed in celebration, but then I was horrified by the noise from outside. I held my breath and raised my head, but nothing happened.

‘Ah, it must have been the wind.’

Phew, I’m glad everything was fine, but after being surprised, I carefully entered the secret passage, looking left and right. As I instilled my divinity into the holy relic, the dark interior brightened, and I could see bundles of paper and clutter scattered around.

“Hmm⋯⋯.”

‘It has become a complete hideout.’

The pens and papers were brought from the Sun Palace’s office, the mirrors were from the servants’ rooms who do not use them, and the books from the Imperial Library. I didn’t steal them cause I’ll put them back someday.

I sat on the floor and glanced at the dizzying interior for a moment, then put my hands on the floor and got up.

“Kkya.”

It has been three months since I came to the past.

“Kkya.”

Was it because of my hard work flying around the Imperial Castle with the help of my magic? I can now stand on my own without magic.

I stood steady and clasped my hands.

“How are you?”, In a child-like tone.

In addition, I can speak as well as an adult. But I don’t make it obvious in front of others.

It’s because my body is originally young, but my comprehension of language has regressed. Now, I know how to make audible sounds with my young oral structure.

But there was also Uncle Rivel and his aides. Until I met my mother, I pretended to be a normal baby because I thought it would be better to examine the imperial family quietly.

‘Uncle Rival knew witches. It w difficult if I look weird.’

Sophia was a genius healer, but her speech and growth pace were just like a child’s. No, she was smarter than her peers, so she’s a gifted child? So I, too, had to show just as much as a gifted baby.

“How are you book?”

As I approached my mother’s spellbook, I saw the page I had opened yesterday. 

Ah.

〈Low-Level Spell: Mouse and Bird Ears〉

(TL/N: This spell was mentioned in chapter 11, where the person that used the spell will have a mouse and bird-like ears)

To survive in the palace knowledge is essential, so I’m getting information today.

‘Where should I go to get important information?’

The dining room, where many people gather, that’s a must.

The Emperor’s drawing-room, I think that would be nice too.

Where else should I go⋯⋯?

‘Uncle Rival’s office, or something⋯⋯.’

I shivered at the name that came to mind. Just the thought of Uncle Rival’s name made my spine shiver.

‘First of all, the dining room⋯⋯.’

I hugged the book in my arms and headed to the dining room. After lunchtime, the dining room was empty.

“The dining room must be crowded with people during mealtime but other than that, it must be quiet.’

During mealtime, I’ll be careful and not speak because I am afraid people will hear, and when mealtime is over, there’s nothing to worry about, so I can talk. I’m thinking about it because it’s more ambiguous than I thought, but then I saw a human shadow through the window on the hallway side.

“⋯⋯!”

As I clung to the wall in shock, I heard the voices of the maids.

“Where is Lena?”

“I should go to the break room first.”

‘Break room?’

Is there a lounge for staff? When I floated in the air and stuck to the window, I could see people crossing the hallway going upstairs. I also went upstairs through the secret passage. As I got close to the entrance and listened to the sound outside, I was able to find a space where I could hear the sounds of people talking.

I sat with my back at an angle to the entrance and waited until the crowd was gone. After a while, they left after the chieftain called them. When I carefully pushed the entrance and poked out my head, I saw a fireplace, sofa, a coffee table with various kinds of snacks, a crib, several dolls, and cute little things such as picture frames.

‘There was a lounge in the middle of the second floor’s annex where the servants’ rooms are located.’

It is a perfect location for attendants staying in the annex to gather and talk. I opened the page that had〈Low-Level Spell: Mouse and Bird Ears〉written on it, looked at the magic circle, and began to use magic. The black magic that slowly came from my fingertips gathered and separated according to my will, creating a magic circle. As I was concentrating on my mind, my magic suddenly flashed.

“Oops.”

The wind gathered in the air, and the whitish hairs scattered on the floor gathered together.

“Magic of clumping cat fur.”

(TL/N: This spell was mentioned in chapter 11)

A white ball of hair fell to the floor and rolled in front of me.

Who keeps cats in break rooms⋯⋯.

I looked at the furball with a slightly disappointed look and then tried the magic again.

Witches weren’t using magic ink sepia for no reason. I suffered dozens of failures before I was able to use the transformation magic gracefully. In the middle of drawing the magic circle, another spell keeps being demonstrated.

“Again⋯⋯.”

Only after wasting magic three times, I succeed in drawing the magic circle. As the black light shone, the air rumbled, and nail-sized material appeared. It looks a little like a furball that just clumped together, but it was the ears of mice and birds seen in the spellbook.

I quickly shouted the starting words of the spell. In the language of witches.

“Robin, latte.”

Then the ears fluttered in the shadow and disappeared.

It is said that the ear usually hides in the shadow, but when I say a phrase, the ears pop out, and the sounds get amplified. While transmitting the sound, it bothers me that people in the room heard me say the phrase, but it should be okay because I hid behind a large cabinet.

After a moment of being proud of my success, I heard footsteps from outside. I hid behind the secret passage. As the passage’s entrance closed, I could hear a muffled voice. Curious about what they’re saying, I immediately recited the phrase I just said.

“Robin.”

Then I heard a crackling in my ear for a moment, and then I heard the voices behind the wall.

-The schedule suddenly disappeared. What are you doing till evening?

-I’m going to read a book.

‘Wow, I can hear them.’

The words heard by the ears, the “furball”, becomes the phrase for summoning them. The bird’s ears are summoned by the first word, and the mouse’s ears are summoned by the second word. The sound of the conversation was clear as if I was in the same room with the maids.

-It’s the first time I’ve seen a council meeting postponed.

-Isn’t there something wrong with His Holiness?

As I headed to my next destination while listening to their voices, I stopped at the conversation.

I can’t remember if the council meeting was delayed during this period. This means that there was no incident big enough to be recorded in the history book that I memorized before coming to the past. The current Pope has three years left. Even though I knew that, since I’ve only met him once before the time leap future and now meeting him once again, events were bound to change.

‘If I stay in this time period, I will have a relationship with someone I’ve never met before.’

I have already met several such people. The Pope, the Pope’s grandchild, my nanny, maids, and even my Uncle Fariel.

‘How many of them will survive when I go back to my original time?’

-His Highness Rivelius said he would visit the temple, so we have to wait.

(TL/N: Rivel is the shorter version of his name, Rivelius is his actual name)

-There must be a lot of discord. The ‘agenda’ came into the council this time.

-Witchcraft.

‘⋯⋯ They have already started to discuss it.’

The law that led us, the witches, to death. I accelerated my pace, which had slowed for a moment. The full-scale legislation will start in three years anyway, so there is no need to worry yet. The voices of the maids also look promising.

(TL/N: This event was also mentioned in chapter 11 if you want a refresher.)

-Thanks to her, the imperial atmosphere has subsided.

-That’s right, things are good these days.

-There’s news about our baby saint.

‘Yes, your baby saint⋯⋯.’

I nodded my head, then paused.

‘If they’re talking about a baby saint⋯⋯, would that be me?’

-That’s right, I’m glad we have news of the baby.

-I also live with joy hearing news of my baby these days. I heard that servants are also trying to take work from the Sun Palace.

-Ah, I wish I could go to the Sun Palace too.

What type of conversation am I hearing now?

I tapped my ear to see if the magic was wrong. When I listened to the conversation properly again, a maid said in a particularly high voice.

-Actually, I recently stopped by the Sun Palace for work.

– No way. Did you meet her?

-It was just a brief encounter.

-Oh my god, you did meet her!

– How was it? Was she as cute as an angel? Did she have a lark-like laugh?

(TL/N: Lark-like- nice/pleasant voice)

-I heard that she is shy!

-Is her hair really like pink cotton candy?

I was taken aback by the sudden pouring of questions and stopped. Is the ‘Baby Saint’ they’re talking about is me?

Unlike me, who began to think about the actual questions, the maid didn’t seem embarrassed when she heard the questions coming at her. No, somehow, she even replied with a proud voice.

-She’s really cute, like an angel with pink cotton candy hair, and she laughed with such a lark-like voice.

-Whoa!

Whoops, I was startled by the cheering, which shook my eardrums, and I fell backward. My butt lightly hit the floor but felt no pain.

I covered my still tingling ears with both hands and confusedly blinked as I looked down at the floor.

‘W-What?’

I couldn’t understand what this conversation was, even though I listened to it.
