A few days later, while wiping Leas hand with a wet towel, I glanced at the chairman.
Did the pope ask the emperor to stop Minas detention?
Thats right.
I groaned and put down the wet towel.
For what reason?
The day after tomorrow, theyll have a ceremony at the lunar eclipse.
The chairman who said so handed me the parchment paper. A copy of the popes letter to the emperor seemed to have been obtained from the Amjo (Dubbledes intelligence agency).
After reading the content, I burst into laughter.
So heres the summary of the content.
[There is only one child of fate that the oracle has descended upon.
The reason this land is in turmoil is because the wrong child is using the true name of Gods messenger.
One of the children of their fate is not a true messenger of God, so we have to sort out the real thing from the most powerful lunar eclipse.]
If Mina is a true child of fate, there is no way to punish her because she is an irreplaceable person whether she is guilty or not.
Yes. Thats how they try to move on from the meteor case.
They could take this opportunity to completely push me out of the way. But how will they cover it up?
In a lunar eclipse ceremony, a divine pattern is manifested to summon an angel.
I folded my arms and twisted my lips.
What, an angel? It must be a devil.
The beings in this world are only those who were pioneers in ancient times.
All of them became devils, and people have mistaken the relatively good ones among the devils for angels.
So, in the first place, angels do not exist in this world.
So, who are the angels they want to summon?
Theyre going to call down an angel that everyone on the continent knows.
Then.
Yes.
We spoke at the same time.
Aslan.
So its Aslan.
Aslan, an angel recorded during the founding of the empire.
It was an angel with a legend that when the founding emperor was defeated in the battle with Ivan and withdrew, it descended to the imperial family and saved 100,000 dying imperial troops.
Aslan What kind of devil is Aslan?
Isnt there only one devil with healing power?
Yes, its Gremory. It is clear that the temple has secured a passage for Gremory.
Gremory. Its Gremory.
After muttering the devils name several times, I looked at Lea.
That passage, cant we get our hands on it?
When I looked at Lea, the chairman bowed a little.
Its not that I dont understand your feelings. Even if you visit Benedict, you dont know if he can make an antidote, and you need to be in a hurry because itll be too late. But lady.
.
Its difficult unless you break into the temple and take the popes head.
.
The current situation is on our side. If youre greedy for something you cant achieve, itll be a problem.
The chairman couldnt hide his worry.
After Lea became like this, I made a thorough plan and moved, but Im out of my mind.
No one in Dubblede blamed me because they knew what Lea meant to me.
The chairman must be concerned that I will focus on Lea and make a mistake with my family and my life at stake.
Lady-
I know.
.
I hope you understand that much.
I smiled brightly, and the chairman had a faint smile on his lips as if he had relaxed.
How is Lea?
My Lea is always cool! Shes still enduring it nicely. Taylor said that the poison progresses slower than he thought.
When I showed off, the chairman laughed.
Thats it. Maybe its the patients will!
Yes. Your Lea is always great.
I picked up the wet towel again and carefully wiped Leas face.
Just as young Lea washed away the dirty child with all her heart.
How can you be so gentle?
Bwaine is nice!
Of course. Shes the nicest girl in the world.
I remember the hand that hugged me tenderly. It tickled me and I laughed, Lea often whispered as she rubbed her face against my cheek.
Im her treasure.
The sunlight from outside the window make Lea shine. I laughed like a child back then.

Cecilia followed up with the emperor on the move after being alone with the pope.
How did it go? You didnt allow the ceremony, did you?
.
Your Majesty!
She said with a look of impatience.
The temples support for the second child is something even a passing dog knows. Theyre not trying to identify the real child of fate. Theyre trying to control the empire by seating the person who suits their taste as the child of fate!
The emperor who stopped walking, stared at Cecilia with a firm face.
Are you the mother of the empire or Dubbledes person?
Yes?
Answer me!
The empire would not have achieved this much revival without Dubblede.
Thats the problem-!
The emperor, who cried out, looked around and lowered his voice.
Thats the problem.
Are you concerned that Dubbledes influence has flooded the imperial palace? Youre afraid youll lose the emperors authority?
Cecilias forehead was wrinkled. Seeing her not backing down, the emperors eyes became colder.
My people are suffering from the war between the temple and Dubblede.
.
While I have been full and sleeping in this imperial palace, the people are sick and hungry.
.
How can we lean on Dubblede all the time? Look at the situation now. We should be the ones responsible for protecting and supporting the people.
.
Make your position clear. If youre not going to be a mother of the empire and remain as a knight of Dubblede, say it now and I will see you off.
As the emperor began to walk again with a cold look, Cecilia opened her mouth again.
The temple has intimidated His Majesty.
The emperor quickly turned his head.
You!
Cecilia pulled the emperors collar roughly.
What is it? What threats did they use?
.
Your Majesty.
Just then,
Your Majesty.
From the opposite side, Empress Yvonne approached with a big smile.
I was worried that you didnt eat but I think I got the timing wrong.
No. Lets go.
The emperor left Cecilia behind and walked with Empress Yvonne.
Tri, hesitating from afar, approached Cecilia, looking at the emperors back.
Aunt.
.
Tri carefully grabbed her aunts fingertips.
I know.
Im not here today because Im the knight of Dubblede.
Yes, I know youre here as his wife.
.
Tri forced a smile and stroked Cecilias hand with both hands.
I know you didnt want him to regret today. I also know you dont want him to be lonely anymore.
.
Because of that? The thing that Leblaine doesnt know
Cecilia stroked Tris cheek and smiled bitterly. Then she looked around and whispered.
Deliver it to Leblaine through Emeline. You shouldnt come into contact with Dubblede yourself.
Yes.
Tell them that His Majesty allowed the lunar eclipse ceremony, and that when the second child summons the angel, things get out of hand. You should never let them summon the angel.
Tri nodded and ran hurriedly.
Cecilia, who was looking at her nieces back, covered her face with one hand.
Please, lady.
Please save His Majesty.
His Majesty Please, hes the one who is holding out alone.
The next day, Mina was released.
The lunar eclipse ceremony will be held two days later at night.
The eyes of the world were all focused on the altar where the ceremony would take place.
***
At the lunar eclipse day at night, everyone in Dubblede was very quiet.
I hung etwal around my neck after getting ready to go out. Dahlia, Linda, and Yuni put a cape engraved with Dubbledes pattern on my shoulder.
It was the cape that Lea put on me a few years ago.
I thought it wouldnt fit me because I grew up a lot.
When I laughed, Dahlia, Linda, and Yuni alsp laughed. Their hands are full of bandages. They seemed to have repaired it all night.
If Lea had woken up, I would have worn this cape for her.
Yes.
Have a safe trip, lady. Go home safely.
Okay.
Wearing a cape, I left the mansion.
My dad and brothers were standing in front of the carriage. We looked at each other once and climbed into the carriage silently.
The carriage ran quietly towards the altar.
There were many people in front of the altar.
The nobles and the people were standing around the altar, and Mina stood on the altar in an undecorated white dress.
As she did in my first life.
When the pope raised his hand, the flag fluttered on the castle around the altar.
And the shadow of the moon began to get darker little by little.
Mina slowly lifted the etwal.
The etwal vibrated thinly.
However, its not the real etwal that is in Minas hand, but the real one is in my arms.
