48.

The first thing I saw when I opened my eyes was a pure white, unfamiliar ceiling.

Before I could even wonder where I was, Shin and Su, who had been sitting side by side on the headboard of the bed, began crying out noisily.

[You’re awake?]

[Are you okay? Are you coming to your senses?]

I tried to move my mouth to speak, but realized that I couldn’t put any strength into my stomach at all, so I just raised my gaze to look at them.

When they rescued me from the carriage, they were several times my size, but now they had returned to the form I first saw them in.

But where is this place…?

[This is the child of god’s room.]

[The child of god was nursing you until just now, but a human called for him so he went out.]

Ah, this is Greim’s room.

Since the divine beasts who live with Greim saved me, it was natural in a way.

However, I felt a little sorry for having ended up lying on the bed of the pure and immaculate Greim.

Until he fell in love with Caroline, he was a child who served only god.

I would surely be the first outsider to use such a noble person’s bed.

Feeling unnecessarily guilty toward Caroline as well, I let out a short sigh and rolled my eyes.

I had visited this room once before the prayer meeting started, but I thought it really was a neat room with nothing in it.

But how long did I sleep? I need to go to the Emperor…

[It’s been half a day since we brought you here.]

[Don’t worry! The child of god sent communications to various places.]

I looked at the divine beasts who immediately noticed my inner worries and were making huffing sounds.

Come to think of it, these children saved me even before I could draw a summoning circle to summon Pandeum.

There was no other explanation except that they had heard my desperate inner thoughts.

‘Can you hear my thoughts by any chance?’

So I looked at the divine beasts and asked in my mind like I do with Pandeum, and the divine beasts tilted their heads sideways with expressions asking why I was asking something so obvious.

[Of course you can hear us since we gave you power.]

[You can hear. It’s natural that you can hear. You are a human who received power from us divine beasts.]

‘Damn it. I was happy that Pandeum couldn’t hear my thoughts, but in the end I’m back to square one.’

[Don’t worry, we don’t particularly pay attention unless it’s a moment when you’re in danger.]

[Right, when we’re apart, we only hear clearly when you need help.]

‘That’s welcome news to hear… By the way, can you suddenly grow that big? And can you always appear in front of me when I’m in danger?’

[You saved our lives, so naturally we save your life. As long as that wish continues, wherever you are, whatever you experience, we will protect you.]

[Yes, of course. To save you, any form or method is possible.]

I naturally nodded at the divine beasts’ words.

I was lucky to save these guys and gained power that I never even saw in the original work.

In extremely urgent situations, even drawing a summoning circle to summon Pandeum was difficult.

Of course, I can call him without a summoning circle, but whether god deliberately put restrictions on this ability, he said the movement frequency only aligns when my mind is in a peaceful state.

So the power of the divine beasts, who could help me whenever I was in danger, was extremely useful.

Then, along with the sound of the door handle turning so quietly it was barely audible, came the sound of the door opening.

It seemed like Greim had opened the door as carefully as possible in case I was still sleeping.

When my gaze naturally turned toward the door, Greim, who had closed the door as carefully as he had opened it, turned around and our eyes met, making him flinch and tremble.

“You’re awake.”

“…Yes.”

Perhaps because some time had passed since I opened my eyes, I began to be able to put strength in my stomach and made a sound.

Greim, who walked toward me, asked how my body was.

“Still, my voice…”

“Due to the shock, you’ll still have some weakness in your body. The physician said it will gradually get better with time.”

“Ah…”

“What on earth happened?”

Greim, who continued speaking saying that even if he wanted to ask the divine beasts, all he could hear was huffing sounds, asked me with quite a serious expression.

“Was it an attack?”

“Yes. I was riding in a carriage that His Majesty the Emperor… sent directly…”

“I sent communication to His Highness the Crown Prince about Elinea who came here by divine beasts. And before coming to this room, I received a message bird from His Highness.”

Greim said he reported to the Emperor and Crown Prince that the imperial guard knights who were with me saw the horses pulling the carriage suddenly start getting excited, and then the carriage ran madly to the cliff, leaving behind the coachman and imperial guard knights who had gotten down to check on it.

I nodded and muttered that it was accurate.

This was definitely the Empress’s doing.

The birth mother of Prince of Oslo, who finds fault with and tries to block everything the Emperor does.

Not content with taking the position after the first Empress passed away, the greedy current Empress Serebien who wants to depose Lloyd and put her own son on the throne.

She was the final villain of the original work who would later use black magicians to sacrifice Caroline and revive the Demon God.

A cold-hearted mother who, with twisted love for her son, tries to kill and eliminate everything that becomes an obstacle in her son’s path, and a human who, despite being called the mother of the Empire, only cares about the safety of her one and only son.

With such a woman ascending to the position of Empress, it was obvious how much Lloyd felt threatened for his life.

Even though I experienced a life-or-death situation just once, my hands are trembling and I’m this afraid, so how did Lloyd endure all that pain until now?

Along with the thought that he was truly amazing, the anxiety that I might die because of the Empress was added to the thought that she shouldn’t be allowed to live, so I decided to completely revise my original plan to tell the Emperor about the oracle’s contents without the Empress knowing.

Actually, hiding the fact that I had gained power like the dark attribute from the oracle’s contents was more for my own safety than for Lloyd’s sake.

I’m not the type to just take things lying down, but still, if I said I was the one who received the oracle, it was obvious that the Empress would torment me from then on, so under the pretext of hiding Lloyd’s light attribute, I also wanted to hide my secret.

But even if there were two dark attributes, just thinking there might be two light attributes wouldn’t make them think Lloyd was the protagonist.

So I thought it would be better to openly declare my power and accept the fights that come my way.

“You still can’t use communication tools, right? I want to call Lloyd, Theor, and Perioze’s sister and Caroline here.”

Since I almost died on the way to see the Emperor, I had to make advance plans to prevent such incidents from happening again before going back.

I felt a little sorry for taking their precious time and using it for my safety, but first I had to survive to be able to plan countermeasures against the black magicians who would start moving after the coming-of-age ceremony.

“Don’t worry. I’ve sent communications to everyone. Oh, I didn’t contact Princess Mckenezie, but I’ll go send communication now.”

“Ah, no. I’ll tell Theor myself.”

“…Ah, you mean you can have conversations here.”

Greim lightly tapped his temple with his index finger.

He said that while hearing about Pandeum from Theor, he heard stories about all the parts he knew.

He said it was more of a thought that he should know in case he could use it for any unfortunate incidents that might happen later, rather than curiosity-based interest.

Theor also said he told Greim about Pandeum in preparation for any possible incidents.

Since Theor knew too clearly that Greim was on his side, he had no hesitation in telling secrets.

Friends who trusted each other to that extent came to love the same woman.

When I think about it, it was quite ironic.

Theor and Greim, who completely support and protect Lloyd, whose life is always threatened by the Empress.

And Lloyd, who trusts and relies on them more than anyone else in the world.

Why did such people turn against each other and fight to make Caroline theirs?

“Yes, so I’ll tell Theor to bring Perioze’s sister. But when everyone gathers, is it okay to have conversations in this room?”

Originally, Greim’s room and the current High Priest’s room had barriers formed so well that no one could hear conversations.

So it was the optimal space for secret conversations, and the conversation we were about to have shouldn’t be heard by even a single mouse.

“…This is already an area that Elinea has invaded. It’s no longer clean, so now it doesn’t matter who comes.”

“Hey, don’t treat people like germs…”

“It’s just a metaphor. I didn’t really mean you’re dirty.”

“That metaphor makes me feel really bad.”

“I’ll correct it. I didn’t mean it with impure intentions.”

Greim immediately apologized to my words.

Of course, I don’t think he did it with impure intentions either.

He’s not the type of person to have such thoughts.

Anyway, we do need a space where not even mice or birds can hear, and this place is very suitable for that, so I decided to let it slide amicably.

“Anyway, thank you for letting me use this room.”

“Don’t mention it. His Highness the Crown Prince seems like he’ll arrive soon, so if you’re going to contact Theor, it would be good to do it now.”

“Ah…! Thank you.”

I nodded and called out to Theor in my mind.

Perhaps because it had been quite a while since I called him, my heart started beating rapidly.

And then.

‘Elinea.’

At Theor’s voice that entered my mind, I burst into tears regardless of my will.

‘Theor.’
