Episode 56

 

* * *

 

“She was banished to Solar Village, but was called back to Belief for cheating?”

 

“Yes.”

 

Duchess Lucretia burst into mocking laughter after receiving the report from her attendant.

 

“I heard she last went to the cabin, and her whereabouts have been unclear since then.”

 

“There are also rumors that Lord Belief was furious.”

 

Lucretia couldn’t hide the corners of her mouth trying to rise.

 

She was considering whether to give Mercy, who had finished the report, a raise.

 

With that, Lucretia headed to the morning meal with Duke Ardos.

 

He always ate with his adopted daughter, but today he was dining alone.

 

His unexpectedly lonely appearance somehow made her burst into hollow laughter.

 

Lucretia sat down and spoke lightly.

 

“Today, I heard news about that child.”

 

“…”

 

“It seems she won’t even last three days before returning.”

 

Duke Ardos looked at Lucretia with an indifferent expression.

 

“She’s not that kind of child.”

 

“That’s what the report said.”

 

“Putting surveillance on the main family line children without my permission would be overstepping your authority, wife.”

 

Duke Ardos’s attitude was fierce.

 

Lucretia also stared at him without backing down.

 

She had been grinding her teeth over Duke Ardos’s recent actions.

 

‘You sent my daughter to a convent, did you think your daughters would continue to prosper?’

 

The rift between the couple had formed long ago.

 

But in the end, it was Lucretia who bowed her head.

 

“It wasn’t surveillance. I was simply checking as the lady of the house to see if the child was doing well. Please calm your anger and eat.”

 

A mocking smile appeared on Lucretia’s lips as she bowed her head.

 

“But it would be troublesome if you treat me so coldly.”

 

“…What do you mean?”

 

“The buff-type priests I brought through my connections. They’re all skilled practitioners of advanced level or higher.”

 

Of course, compared to a supreme-level buff-type ability user like Belief, their skills were insignificant.

 

But advanced-level buff-type priests to replace Belief, who had no intention of returning to the territory, would be sufficient assets for the family.

 

Duke Ardos roughly set down his knife.

 

It was a gesture showing his lost appetite.

 

“So what are you suggesting?”

 

“As you know, buff-type priests are currently helping the ability users in our family.”

 

“….”

 

“The priests want to make a contract with Ardos through me. So I deserve proper compensation as well….”

 

“You keep repeating the same thing. Dinner is over, madam.”

 

“Eventually, you’ll have to take my hand for the benefit of the family.”

 

“….”

 

“And when that happens, I humbly request that you grant me one thing I desire, Your Grace.”

 

Duke Ardos raised an eyebrow and said.

 

“Do you think things will go as you wish, madam?”

 

“Two days. Please decide within two days.”

 

Watching his departing figure, Duchess Lucretia wore a mocking smile.

 

Even if he was Duke Ardos, this matter would give him quite a headache to resolve.

 

Countless blood relatives were swarming like bees to enhance their abilities.

 

‘So instead of protecting that half-baked adopted child, you should have taken my daughter’s side.’

 

* * *

 

Three days had passed since the adopted youngest sibling went to Belief.

 

People predicted the child would return crying, but Chloe didn’t think so.

 

That foolish little kid would stubbornly cling to her master no matter what.

 

‘So she’ll learn something, whatever it may be.’

 

That’s why.

 

She absolutely wasn’t worried or anything.

 

But….</

 

“Why do you keep coming here?”

 

…There was just one thing that had become as irritating as a thorn under her fingernail.

 

It was Grand Duke Rivera.

 

Holding a green box in his hand, he kept hovering around this area.

 

Yesterday, he had casually thrown out a comment as if it was nothing.

 

“I heard Young Lady raised a puppy?”

 

“This rummaging through the mansion. Was this discussed with Duke Ardos?”

 

“…Of course. Princess Chloe Ardos. This is confidential work being done in agreement with the Duke.”

 

“Then why are you doing it at my annex, is what I’m asking.”

 

When she gave a sharp retort, he had disappeared.

 

‘I can’t believe he’s coming again today.’

 

…He’s supposedly the Grand Duke of the Northern Region.

 

‘Does he have no shame?’

 

Grand Duke Rivera had a rather smooth expression.

 

As if telling her to be at ease, he gave her a brief smile.

 

What he did was somewhat beyond common sense.

 

“Ah, but you know, Princess of Ardos.”

 

He said, pointing to the squeaking magic tool in his hand.

 

“I gave this magic tool that I developed myself to Coco before leaving.”

 

“Ah.”

 

“Not to the puppy Coco, but to Princess’s sister Coco.”

 

…Come to think of it, it was quite remarkable.

 

It was when I suddenly realized that those two had the same name.

 

“I made it so a red light would come on near the magic tool when there’s danger.”

 

“If you give something like that to someone else’s family.”

 

“…So that’s why. I think Princess’s sister, Coco, is in danger?”

 

Grand Duke Rivera waved the magic tool, completely ignoring Chloe’s words.

 

The tip of the magic tool was glowing with a bright red light.

 

“…How can I believe those words? Grand Duke might be lying to me.”

 

“Ah, well. Never mind if you’re not concerned. But…”

 

She had no intention of falling for words from such a suspicious person.

 

She firmly set her lips.

 

But there was something that bothered her.

 

Grand Duke Rivera’s face, which had been playful until now, was somewhat distorted.

 

“Looks like she might have gotten burned.”

 

The child’s small hand lingered in her mind.

 

‘Burn marks would appear on it.’

 

Chloe brushed back her long black hair and let out an annoyed sigh.

In front of the cabin at Rocky Mine.

 

After Master fell fast asleep!

 

I was endlessly awakening my Light Ability.

 

“Your Special Ability is unusual. It’s not ordinary, is it?”

 

“Yes! That’s right! It’s Healing Power. And there’s another ability, but I don’t know what it is!”

 

“If your Special Ability is Ultimate Healing Power, you might be able to stop rampage too. You can also detoxify poison. In Eastern Continent language, it’s the power to create ‘Immunity to All Poisons’?”

 

My sister dies from rampage, or poison.

 

‘That means I can save Sister.’

 

I decided to keep training until I could save Sister.

 

“…Let’s stop now. It’s already been five hours. It’s troublesome if you suddenly use your ability excessively. There will be side effects.”

 

“Tch.”

 

“Hurry up and go to sleep.”

 

It had only been two days since I started training under Belief.

 

‘I’ve grown compared to before, but still, my heart is impatient!’

 

I secretly snuck outside and decided to train by myself.

 

‘I picked up some Magic Stones near the cabin, so I’ll try using those!’

 

With a loud noise, light leaked out from my fingertips.

 

And that light approached the Magic Stones in the mine…

 

Soon, it took the form of blazing fire before my eyes.

 

Only then did I feel life force rippling little by little from within.

 

I stared at the Magic Stones that were slowly burning away from my light.

 

The pure white cluster of light that burst from my fingertips approached the Magic Stones again.

 

‘It might be dangerous, I might need to stop here, but…’

 

I looked around the cabin area that had become quiet as if Master was asleep.

 

Then I squeezed my eyes shut and opened them again.

 

“I need to get stronger faster.”

 

I had to heal Sister as quickly as possible.

 

Only then would Sister survive and become happy.

 

If Sister stops her Rampage, I might be able to try using the Family Heirloom too.

 

…Then Sister would recognize me, right?

 

There was no more reason to hesitate.

 

Like someone possessed, I sent out the light cluster more fiercely, not noticing the flames growing larger.

 

But right at that moment.

 

BOOM!

 

The entire Rocky Mine shook vigorously.

 

I didn’t know for sure, but the shock must have reached the cabin too.

 

“Huh, wha, what! What was that sound?”

 

The loud roar instantly brought me back to my senses.

 

Did Master catch me secretly training?

 

Panicked, I widened my eyes and looked around.

 

A familiar yet drowsy voice, as if not fully awake, rang in my ears.

 

“Can’t take my eyes off you.”

 

Was it because I couldn’t properly control the light cluster in my panic?

 

Before I knew it, large flames were spreading across the Floor.

 

Someone roughly grabbed me as I was about to be trapped in the flames.

 

“I told you not to cause accidents, Sister.”
