I’m the Main Character’s Child - Chapter 13

The mark is said that when life is in critical condition, it responds to people of the same attribute.

“Then do I have a holy power?”

Seeing that the mana measurement box was not responsive, I thought the power inside me was different.

It will be one of the two.

“Since Reina was the great daughter of the temple, ……. Gasp.”

Teto, who was explaining mana and holy power as if he had eased a little, seemed to have forgotten who was with us in this room now.

I can’t believe he said Reina’s name, who died in front of Cardin.

Teto hurriedly covered his mouth, but unfortunately, it was already after I heard it all.

“Reina…….my mom.”

Teacher Teto also made sense.

Reina was a great woman with enormous holy power, so I, who received Reina’s gene, was also likely to be a holy power holder.

I have never seen her face or heard her voice since birth, but I could tell what she thought of me just by the name that she left me.

And maybe Cardin will think of Reina more and more as I grow up.

I’m becoming more like Raina.

I turned back and looked at Cardin. 

Cardin was just sitting at the corner with an expressionless face.

“Hmm. How do you measure holy power?”

I changed the subject to lift the atmosphere.

“Hmmmm, if you go to the temple, you can measure it with the same tool.”

I was deeply troubled by whether I should ask Cardin to go to the temple together, but Cardin’s low voice came out.

“I don’t think that’s necessary.”

Looking at Cardin, his gaze stayed with me.

“Look at the box”.

At Cardin’s words, Teto’s eyes naturally turned to the box.

The small box I was unconsciously touching was getting darker and darker.

“This, this ………This makes no sense.”

Teto could not believe what he was seeing.

The situation was the same for me who was next to him.

Watching the black gas slowly fill the box gave me goosebumps.

The black gas was filling the box faster than Teto had shown.

If the box was fully filled with the colored gas, it was said that it was like a high-level wizard, but it seemed to be exceeding the figure.

“Oh my god…”

Teacher Teto muttered quietly in a shocked voice.

Light purple gas was permeating through the black gasses filling the box this time.

The gasses soon filled the box to the point where no gaps were seen.

“A mana mixed with color? ……..”

I was also confused and looked at the side where Cardin was.

Cardin also seemed surprised to see a box full of two colors.

“Oh….”

I didn’t want to continue this suffocating situation, so I gently put down the mana measurement box I was holding.

As soon as I let go of the box, which had been filled with two colors, it quickly returned to its original appearance.

“Um….”

There was silence in the room. No one easily brought it up first.

Teacher Teto was still in shock, and Cardin was not saying much and just looking at me.

“Teacher……”

“Oh! Yes, princess.”

Eventually, I broke the silence first because I couldn’t stand it.

I wriggled my hand and asked. Looking at the situation roughly, it seemed certain that I was the mana holder.

“Is it weird?”

“It’s definitely weird……… No! It’s not weird at all!”

Teto, who was nodding and muttering as if accepting what I said, suddenly started denying his words.

He was trembling as if I was looking at a poor herbivore.

“Then why are you all surprised?”

Just now, the reaction between Teto and Cardin was not common.

In particular, teacher Teto was looking at the magic box after putting it in.

“First of all, it is clear that the princess has a magic power that surpasses the upper mages. However, I was surprised for a moment because I had never heard or seen a magic mixed with two colors so far.”

“Do other people all have one color of magic?”

“Yes. In general, the unique color of the mana holder is one.”

“I see……”

Then what am I? What happens when two kinds of power are mixed?

I was lost in thought as I opened my palms.

“Anyway, being unusual means that a lot of troublesome things will happen in the future.”

I thought this was the result of my little wish.

I didn’t even dream of conquering the world, this is a little unfair.

“Princess, don’t worry too much. I’ll go back to the magic tower and look for related books and historical research materials.”

I guess I looked quite serious in Teto’s eyes as I was thinking of annoying things to come.

But the teacher’s eyes were shining brightly.

He could not hide the curiosity mixed in it, although I could see in his eyes his concern for me sincerely.

‘I heard he’s good at research, I guess it’s true.’

I nodded silently.

As expected, the protagonist should have an unusual childhood. I humbly decided to accept this fact.

“I guess that does it.”

“Ahaha……. It’s already been this long.”

Cardin, who was thinking about something for a long time, gave an order to Teto.

Teto left the duchy with his luggage.

“Emeliette.”

“Yes. Papa.”

Cardin called my name.

I stood up and approached the front of Cardin, who was still sitting in a chair.

Cardin looked at me standing in front of him for a long time without saying a word.

His hands suddenly came into both side of my hips without notice.

“Ugh!”

Cardin lifted me high into the sky with his long arms.

It wasn’t very high because he lifted me while sitting in a chair, but my body was tense and stiff because there was only Cardin’s arm to rely on in the air.

“Papa! What is this? Put me down!”

I called Cardin anxiously, floundering my short arms and legs.

Cardin stared at me for a long time, and soon put me gently on his lap.

It was my first-time seeing Cardin’s face this close, so I was nervous.

As expected, there was no choice but to admit it.

Cardin’s appearance was already recognized by the world. Even when I read him from the novel.

Oh, my. Whose dad is this? The character is so handsome.

“What? Papa. It’s blinding”

I was embarrassed by Cardin’s gaze and said anything.

“…who do you look like?”

Cardin was looking at me with a frown on his forehead, perhaps thinking of the last time.

“I look like Papa, right?”

“I don’t think it’s me.”

“Oops.”

Cardin raised his arm again.

I was dangling and shaken by Cardin’s movement.

“No matter how you look at it, the only thing that resembles me is these eyes.”

“So, you don’t like it?”

I sulked for no reason and pouted my mouth.

“No, it’s good.”

Cardin smiled quietly. It was a slight smile that no one else would notice, but I could tell.

Cardin smiled for the first time.

“Don’t worry.”

“Huh?”

“Your ugly face becomes uglier when you worry more.”

“What?”

Cardin’s finger bounced around my forehead.

Did you just say I am ugly?

I was so shocked that I stared at Cardin with my mouth open without realizing it.

Cardin, who was watching me like that, laughed lightly once and raised his chin and opened his mouth.

“Ugly face.”

What’s so funny, he raises the corners of his mouth and rub my face

I can feel the texture of my face being crushed to and for by Cardin’s hand.

“Ugh!”

I reached out for Cardin, who was rubbing my face recklessly, but the short arm of a six-year-old child couldn’t even get near Cardin’s face and had wandered in the air.

“The magic tower will call you soon.”

“Huh?”

The playful air subsided further.

Cardin continued to talk with a serious expression as he crumpled my face.

‘I want you to let go of my face.’

“It’s my first time seeing a two-colored mana, I will come with you on the day you get a call from the magic tower.”

Cardin’s expression was quite serious. Did you comfort me because you thought I was worried?

I wasn’t really worried, but I felt like I was getting emotional somewhere in my heart.

I felt like I had a huge and reliable tree to protect me from rough things, whether it rains or snows.

‘Did you play around on purpose so I won’t worry anymore?’

Just now, I remembered Cardin’s light voice when he told me not to worry about it.

You must have noticed that my expression got dark.

Somehow, I felt a little nauseous and my skin was slightly itchy.
