Chapter 305

TL: Zimmings

Neliard reached out towards me.

“Hurry.”

I clinged to Serga.

“Leblaine!”

“No!”

There seemed to be a cold wind blowing between Neliard and me.

I screamed but to be honest, I was incredibly scared.

Neliard, now called a God, is the strongest pioneer.

Just standing in front of Neliard makes my hands and feet tremble.

Neliard’s eyes turned black, and his pupils turned bright red as if blood had condensed in it. It felt like my lungs were being squeezed tight.

When blood was spurting out of his temple...

“Leblaine.”

Serga’s friendly voice called me, and the pain went away.

Neliard’s lips twisted.

“Because my power is returning, it seems that I have an upper hand, Serga. Before me, you are like a candle in front of a storm.”

“Neliard.”

Serga hugged me and glanced at him.

“You’re still a shepherd in the desert.”

Neliard frowned.

“What?”

“Your habit of hiding fear with anger has not changed a bit.”

“Serga!”

Bang-!

As soon as Neliard shouted, a blade-like wind swirled. Mina shrieked and collapsed. I saw blood on her clothes as if the wind had cut her skin.

I closed my eyes tightly. However, no matter how much time passed, I couldn’t feel the pain.

The gentle air that came from Serga became a barrier and protected me.

I looked at him in surprise.

“Serga, your power...”

The Serga I saw before was so weak that he couldn’t resist Neliard.

Rather than protecting me, how did he gain such strength, when he was vulnerable as if he would disappear soon?

Serga grinned.

“It’s back. It’s all thanks to you.”

“What?”

“The power of God comes from the faith of the creatures. You made Neliard’s believers become suspicious, so I’m able to protect you because I have followers.”

Neliard’s mouth twisted.

“Do you believe that you can stand against me with just a handful of faith? Serga, you are a ridiculously fragile prey to me.”

Laughing at Serga, he approached us.

“You’re so weak that it’s funny, why did you show up in such a hurry?”

When I said that, Serga, Neliard, and Mina looked at me at the same time.

I got out of Serga’s arms and looked at Neliard.

“You said that you stole the power of God, but why can’t I talk to you normally before?”

“.......”

“You couldn’t handle the power of God and lost your mind, right? Yet, God’s power is disappearing because people have lost faith in you. Isn’t that why you became rational?”

“.......”

“Are you afraid of being rational? Are you afraid?”

“Leblaine!”

Neliard’s face wrinkled badly when I showed off the skill I had learned from Emeline, the so-called ‘mouth of hell’.

Neliard closed his eyes tightly as if holding back his anger.

“This is the world I have arranged for you. Don’t be fooled by Serga anymore, and come back to me. To me, your only family.”

“Isn’t my family in the Wigentra Empire?”

“Your bad habit of talking back doesn’t change.”

“The imperial army was sent in and the troops of the temple fled. It seems that Prince Adrian persuaded the emperor just in time.”

“That’s fortunate.......”

I nodded and forced myself to move.

“Where are you going? You should rest.”

I pretended to listen to my aunt and headed to the ward in the mansion.

‘I must hurry. Come on!’

As I rushed into the hospital room, I saw Lea sleeping as if she were dead.

I quickly pulled out the passage for Gremory.

“I granted your wish. Now lend me your ability.”

The curtain in front of the window fluttered, and a half-transparent Gremory appeared.

My aunt, who chased me, looked at Gremory, who was fading away.

“...... Your Majesty.”

[.......]

“Your Majesty, I, I...”

My aunt was unable to speak and lowered her head.

[My knight, who is kind like a fool.]

“.......”

[I miss you.]

As my aunt slowly raised her head, a friendly smile was seen on Gremory’s face.

“... Me too, Elsa.”

Gremory completely disappeared as the lights around her went out.

My aunt who collapsed on the floor said, “Elsa...” she muttered that word over and over again like a broken doll.

Someone grabbed my hand while staring blankly at my aunt.

It was a very familiar warmth.

I held back my tears without turning my head.

“Why are you so... You’re so thin.”

“.......”

“Where are you hurt?”

“.......”

“Did I protect you properly?”

I bit my lips and tears flowed down my cheeks.

Oh, what should I do with her who is so foolish?

What can I do to repay you, who only cares about me even though she’s almost dead?

“...... Lea.”

“Yes.”

“Lea.”

“Yes.”

Kneeling down, I cried sadly with my forehead against her hand.

I tried to live happily, but the world without her was like hell.

Lea smiled affectionately when she saw me crying like a child.

“You’ve always protected me. Ever since birth.”

I stroked Lea’s cheek and forced myself to smile.

“You desperately protect me, a weak newborn, and comfort a frightened child with love.”

“...... Lady?”

“You kept your promise to my mother, Lea.”

“.......”

“It’s me, Lea. My mother’s daughter you protected.”

Lea’s pupils shook. My aunt also looked at me frantically while sitting down.

“I’m the youngest child.”

Light returned to Lea’s clouded eyes.

Lea’s face was distorted sadly. I hugged her and swore.

Now I will not hide from anyone that I am the child of the strongest mother in the world.

It was time to let the whole world know that Dubblede’s daughter had returned.
