CH 53

: Bell (2)

Jamie thought as she looked at her crying mother.

'What is love?'

He had it in the past too, but now it's been so long that he can't even remember.

From the moment he was reincarnated until now, he was loved by Sears, but he did not feel any other emotions except for the discomfort in his warmth.

Of course it had to be. Because Diablo Volfir gave up everything except vengeance to kill the 12 gods.

But what about now?

'The first time I met Ricky and Anna.'

Jamie frowned at the unknown emotion from the depths of her heart.

When I first saw the siblings, I felt the urge to kill them, along with compassion that I shouldn't have felt.

And when Ricky threw himself for him, emotions other than anger surged.

Jamie didn't know what it was, but at least he knew it was one of those things he had thrown away in the past.

It was the same when Maya Trey shed tears for a lover who no longer exists.

How was it when Bena overcame her problems?

'I still don't know.'

Sears' appearance did not sympathize.

However, seeing her crying in the arms of her father whom she met after 7 years, strangely my heart ached.

There was no way to know what he was feeling because he couldn't remember love, but Jamie still felt a strong discomfort.

and discomfort.

But the displeasure wasn't directed at Sears.

'I am offended by myself.'

Was seven years enough to change Jamie's essence?

It can't be.

Even in the eons of time, he never forgot. He longed for revenge in the midst of constant pain, aiming for an opportunity that would someday arise.

"Don't cry, my daughter. It's fine now.

"I'm really, really sorry ."

Still don't need emotions.

This idea does not change.

The spirit that wears out amid the sacrifice and betrayal of a colleague eventually drives people crazy.

So you have to go through everything on your own in a blank state.

'So what happened to me?'

There was joy on the face of the old man who was exhorting his daughter.

'I've failed.'

Diablo Volfir, who abandoned everything and became alone, could not overcome the stronghold of the 12 gods.

'Why did I reincarnate?'

Why was another chance given?

Jamie didn't know. After reincarnation, I constantly thought about this, but couldn't come up with an answer.

But look at them.

And when I saw the change in myself, I suddenly thought of that.

'In order not to repeat the mistakes of the past.'

Jamie looked at the Marquis and Sears.

Dad! Whoa-!"

okay. My daughter, my daughter."

"Mom, don't cry! Aww!"

Sarah, who had been holding back her tears, could not stand it anymore and ran towards Sears.

Jamie looked at the scene and muttered.

"I don't know."

Right now, I couldn't decide what was right and what was wrong.

There is still plenty of time.

'You need more experience.'

What I couldn't do in my previous life, I will enjoy in this life.

When that time comes, maybe you will know.

Jamie smiled and watched Sarah weeping as she hung on Sears' waist.

The Marquis and Sears were comforting his younger brother with bewildered faces.

* * *

After the couple's brief affair, Sears patted Sarah's head, clinging to her legs and crying.

"Mom, I won't cry anymore."

"Ugh- don't cry! Do not cry!

"He's too."

Sears rubbed his red eyes and smiled awkwardly.

Marquis Bell also comforted Sarah with a shy face.

"I'm sorry Grandpa."

"My mom cried because of my grandparents! Let's pay installments!"

Sarah escaped the touch of Marquis Bell and moved to the other side of Sears. The Marquis couldn't keep his mouth open because the shock was so great.

buy it. Then don't! Please apologize."

"Guchiman ."

buy it!

When Sears made an impression, Sarah wept and apologized to the Marquis.

"I'm sending you ."

However, the pouty mouth and the wrinkled forehead did not seem to be sorry at all.

The Marquis laughed haphazardly.

"I really hate this."

I'm sorry.

"What are you sorry for? Sara can be released later. Right, Sarah?"

" ."

Sara, who moved behind Sears again, did not answer, but stared at her with her head sticking out.

When Sears said, 'Sara, you can't do that!', Marquis Bell stopped her, saying it was okay.

Then he turned his head to see Jamie, who was still watching.

"You are Jamie."

Good morning.

It was Jamie, who had been quiet until now because there was no room to fit in.

He looked up at the face of the marquis as he bowed his head.

'This old man is the head of the great Bell family.'

Unlike when he comforted Sears earlier, the current Marquis had a strong charisma beyond his generous heart.

Indeed, it was a family that was the founder of the country and descended from the family that designed the entire Kingdom of Seldam.

Marquis Bell bent his knees slightly to meet Jamie's gaze.

"I wanted to meet you."

"I wanted to meet you too."

Jamie smiled brightly as he answered, and the Marquis chuckled and laughed.

"I'm glad you seem to like me."

"You are my mother's father. There is no reason not to like it."

"I never expected to hear something like this from a 7-year-old kid. Hahaha!

What's so good? The Marquis Belle burst into laughter.

Then he lightly spread his arms.

Jamie almost frowned because he knew what that posture meant.

come here.

" ."

"It's okay."

Jamie glanced at Sears.

She smiled and nodded her head.

' I still hate this.'

Seeing Sears and the Marquis changed my mind, but it was still uncomfortable.

"My grandson. It's nice to see you."

Nice to meet you too, Grandpa.

'Still, let me go... .'

please.

* * *

Marquis Bell prepared a dinner for her eldest daughter and grandchildren whom she met after seven years.

On the way back, I stopped by several cities and received a precious treatment, but this time was different.

The huge table was to the point of swaying without even the slightest exaggeration.

Because the Marquis said, 'I'll have to change the table to something bigger and stronger!'

I really ate until my stomach exploded.

In particular, the steamed prawns marinated in a special seasoning and grilled were the best Jamie had ever eaten.

"What did you prepare so much for?"

"When you come, of course, you have to do this. It would have been nice if the Count had come along too."

"Because he is so busy."

"You are the owner of a realm."

After the dinner, they set up a separate place to enjoy tea time.

"By the way, I thought you would like me after enjoying the dinner. Does Sarah still think you hate me?"

Sara was right next to Sears, guarding the Marquis.

I thought I was relieved because I ate the rice, but apparently it wasn't.

buy it. Do you still hate Grandpa?"

" I hate the installments."

Then he dug into Sears' back.

Marquis Bell wasn't hurt as before, but he scratched his cheek to see if he was still shy.

"He's too."

Sears shook his head saying he couldn't stop it.

"It will be fine in a little while. Because he has a simple personality."

Hmm.

The Marquis thought about something and then snapped his finger, saying that he had a good idea.

"Wait a minute."

Then he called the waiter who was waiting outside the door and ordered something.

After a while, the user came with a gilded box the size of a hand. The Marquis smiled badly, as if he had prepared a trump card, and called Sarah.

buy it. Do you like candy?"

" candy?

Then he looked at Sears.

Sears made a gesture of permission, and Sarah nodded as she looked at the Marquis.

"Candy Joe."

Voila!

When the Marquis opened the plated box, there were loads of beautifully packaged candies inside.

I took one of them out and handed it to Sarah.

"It is a sweet candy that has been airlifted directly from the Milky Kingdom. Take it."

"Ugh."

Sara looked at the candy the Marquis gave her and pondered what to do.

Then Jamie spoke to Sarah in a harsh voice.

"Your grandfather gave it to you. Come on take it."

brother?

hurry.

Sara winced at Jamie's terrifying expression and slowly approaches the Marquis to receive the candy.

Without saying thank you, Jamie called her to return to her seat.

"Thank you, I should say."

" Thank you."

Today, at the words of her scary brother, Sarah did not vomit and thanked her.

Then he went back to Sears and took the candy.

The sparkling candy was very beautiful.

Sara admired in a quiet voice, and her eyes widened as she put it in her little mouth.

"Drink!!"

Baby's 3rd year of life.

I've eaten many(?) candy, but I've never seen a candy as delicious as this one.

Sarah's eyes twinkled, and she rolled the lollipop from her mouth.

Hahaha. I knew you would like it."

"What kind of candy is that, and how does it taste so good?"

"It's a candy made from the sap of the world tree."

Jamie's eyes widened at the word World Tree.

The 'source of life' that the elves regard as their mother was the World Tree. However, since the World Tree existed under the protection of the elves, it never allowed human access.

'Did humans get the world tree?!'

Although the number of elves was small, their homeland was barren and wild, and in itself, it was nothing more than a heavenly fortress.

Humans have invaded the elves' base several times to obtain the World Tree, but never once penetrated.

Rather, he only suffered catastrophic damage from the high elves who reached class 9.

It was already hundreds of years ago, and since then, humans have never attacked elves.

'How?'

Just as Jamie's head was about to get complicated, the Marquis continued the explanation.

"It is an artificially grown world tree, but the taste of the sap is excellent."

'Ah, the artificial world tree.'

Somehow, no matter how much I thought about it, it didn't make sense.

How could a human covet the world tree in the elf's hometown?

But it was also the same as incomprehensible.

'Artificially created a world tree?'

It was very surprising that it was artificially produced, if not as much as the real world tree.

"Anyway, it seems like Jamie has made Sarah a little bit fond of Grandpa. At the very least, I might have lost my arm while waiting to receive it."

The Marquis Bell thanked him and stroked Jamie's head.

Jamie tried not to wrinkle her expression.

by the way. Do you think our Jamie has great magic skills?"

The Marquis raised an eyebrow and asked him.

The Bell family is not a traditional wizarding family, but to a certain extent the blood of a wizard was shed.

So I had no idea how excited I was when I heard the news of my grandson.

"Can I touch your hand for a moment?"

Yeah.

it's like a hand

Jamie reached out a small hand and the Marquis gently stroked it.

A little mana flowed into his fingertips.

it was of the marquis.

After a few minutes passed, the marquise's expression hardened when he released his hand.

"Why is that, Dad?"

" no. It's nothing. It's just shocking."

The Marquis looked at his grandson with a dazed expression on his face.

'The rumors floating around were not false.'

On the contrary, there is no sense of diminishedness.

'How could a child with this power be born between my family and the Welton family?'

The Welton family has been a master swordsman since ancient times, and the Bell family was not a family specialized in armed forces in the first place.

To be honest, it was about magic, but there were no great wizards among our ancestors.

Originally, I should have been happy that a genius was born, but I couldn't be happy with this.

The Marquis got up without a word and walked to his desk. Then he pulled something out of the drawer and walked over to Jamie.

"Take this."

As the Marquis spread out his hands, the necklace that he wore on his fingers shook in the air.

what is this?

The marquise answered the question with a smile.

"It's an artifact that will be of great help to you, once and for all."

Jamie saw the blue jewel embedded in the necklace.

The power contained in it seemed unusual even to him.
