Chapter 129

Chapter 129

The leader of Arenja had indeed said to meet the saintess, but he never specified who she was.

But who would have thought that two saintesses would visit Seongjin at the same time?

Look, I knew this would happen. I had a feeling something like this was coming.

The Demon King boasted for the first time in a while.

[How about it? Behold my foresight! Things that are bound to happen, do happen, after all.]

Yeah, right. Thats interesting.

Seongjin observed the doll-like little girl and Seo Yi-seo, who was closely following her, growling and guarding against everyone.

Anyway, having a conversation was also what he wanted. Seongjin nodded agreeably and said,

Alright, lets go inside. Shall we have some tea together?

But no sooner had he spoken,

Be careful, Princess Sisle! This man is the worst time bomb, pretending to be the best gentleman!

?

So, what has this woman been doing all this time?

You say I carry something strange, but what you have is quite formidable too.

Um, Orabeoni (elder brother). Its complicated to explain, but there are some intricate matters here.

A rare look of contemplation appeared on the poker-faced Sisles face.

The three of them sat facing each other in the Pearl Palace reception room.

Again, Seo Yi-seo clung tightly to the hem of Sisles dress and sat close to the girl. She began to be wary of everything around her.

She was wary of Seongjin, the sofa, the cookies on the snack table, and even Bruno, the commander serving tea Wait, Commander Bruno?

What are you doing here?

Seongjin looked up in disbelief at the manager neatly filling the tea cups, and Bruno cleared his throat.

I happened to see this maid dragging a tea tray into the reception room! If I had been a bit later, it could have been a real disaster, Your Highness.

He looked proud as if he had preempted some grand conspiracy.

Sure enough, behind the commander, Edith was seen sweating and avoiding eye contact.

Thank you, Commander.

When Seongjin sincerely expressed his gratitude, Commander Bruno lightly tugged at his mustache and replied,

Its nothing. Im just fulfilling my duty to assist Your Highness.

Ignoring Ediths resentful gaze, Seongjin gulped down his tea.

Ah, indeed. As expected from someone who prides himself on his tea knowledge. The taste is on par with Louiss Melbourne tea.

In this manner, Seongjin and Sisle quietly sipped their tea for a while.

Actually, theres a serious matter I want to discuss with you, brother.

After some time had passed, Sisle, placing her teacup down on the table, finally spoke.

A serious matter?

Yes.

After broaching the subject and pondering for a moment, Sisle, as if having made up her mind, looked straight at Seongjin and continued.

Its a significant issue involving you, me, and Miss Seo Yi-seo.

Whats the matter?

Before I tell you, theres something you should know in advance. It might be hard to believe, but Miss Seo Yi-seo here is no ordinary person.

Seongjin nodded seriously.

That makes sense. An ordinary person wouldnt have a staring contest with an innocent teacup like that.

Miss Seo Yi-seo isnt from this world. Shes a dimensional traveler who crossed over from another dimension to this place.

Oh, really?

Thats quite believable. She actually is a human from the Regular World.

But, interpreting Seongjins nonchalant attitude in her own way, Sisle added with a slightly anxious voice.

Its true, brother.

I know, I know. But how did you come to know about it?

.

At Seongjins question, Sisles eyes widened in surprise. Following suit, a startled Seo Yi-seo quickly turned to Seongjin and exclaimed,

Anyway, Miss Seo Yi-seo is here to save the world from that crisis. A storyteller who travels between dimensions, the writer of this book, came to her and asked her to become a saintess and save the world. He said hes a storyteller of dimensions, destined to become a great ruler, the king of stories one day.

[What? A storyteller of dimensions?]

The Demon King exclaimed in surprise.

Could it be Sigurd Sigurdson? The self-proclaimed Dream Demon King, who wanders through a thousand dreams and speaks with a thousand voices.

As I was blankly looking at Sisle, Seo Yi-seo asked with suspicion,

Dont tell me, you already knew about him?

Well, not exactly know, but there is someone Im slightly suspicious of

At that response, Seo Yi-seo clung to Sisle in shock.

Wow! Im really scared of him now, Sisle-nim!

What is she talking about?

As I stared in disbelief, she pointed at me, trembling,

Writer Lee said so! If you mess with him, itll be trouble! He could be the greatest benefactor who bestows everything in this world, but if you step on his toes even slightly, he could become the worst disaster that destroys everything!

Was I such a variable character in the story?

While Seo Yi-seos gestures swayed back and forth, Sisle let out a small sigh.

Anyway, that writer is said to have different bodies, traveling between dimensions. He has an avatar here in Delcross Imperial City, but sadly, Miss Seo Yi-seo doesnt know his true identity. Hes carefully hidden his appearance.

Sisle looked at me and continued seriously,

But the book I read had some clues that might hint at his identity.

This feels like the main point now.

And my guess is, the writers avatar might be Prince Riccardo Scarcepino, brother.

!

Your friend.

So this was why the leader of Arenja insisted I talk to the saintess first!

***

Sisle stayed in the Pearl Palace almost until lunchtime, conversing with Seongjin.

Returning to St. Sebastians Church somewhat weary, Sister Ursula was waiting for her with a small box.

Sister Sisle! A gift has arrived from Prince Owen.

A gift?

Oh, thats right. A letter came from dear brother recently.

Ill send a gift to father and you soon.

Sisle, curious and excited, opened the box.

But what popped out of the box was a small, pink piece of cloth, its purpose unclear. It was slightly longer than a palm, adorned with peculiar embroidery, and had an elastic band attached to the back.

What is this?

Sister Ursula, who had been observing the gift with curious eyes, suddenly cringed and exclaimed,

Ugh, what is this? It looks like some kind of underwear. How scandalous!

Could it be

Did Prince Owen really send something like this after such a long time?

As Sisle was tilting her head in confusion, Seo Yi-seo peered over and remarked,

Huh? This is a sleep mask, isnt it? Its incredibly cute, but seems a bit out of place for our times, doesnt it?

A sleep mask?

Yes, you wear it over your eyes to sleep comfortably.

Wow, its shaped like a bunny! Absolutely adorable!

As Seo Yi-seo kept admiring the mask, Sister Ursula, who had mistaken it for underwear, awkwardly averted her eyes.

But then, as Seo Yi-seo was inspecting the mask, her eyes suddenly widened in astonishment and she blurted out,

Wait? What? Theres item information appearing here?

Information?

Yes, Im sure of it. This is an item from our world, Sisle-nim!

Seo Yi-seo then gently caressed the mask, seemingly reading something invisible in the air.

Pangea Chronicle?
