I’m the Main Character’s Child - Chapter 52

“Fay…”

Fay, who came next to me, was looking at me with a worried face.

“Get a hold of yourself. We’re going to the temple right now.”

At the end of Fay’s words, the landscape around us changed.

When I opened my eyes, the first thing I saw was a white flag embedded here and there

“What, what? Someone suddenly appeared!”

“Wizard? No, there’s a person down there.”

Like the white background, people in white new uniforms were shocked to see us suddenly appearing.

Surprised, for a moment, a priest came at a rapid pace as they saw my nanny lying next to me.

“This person. She needs healing otherwise…….”

“Hurry up! Don’t just watch, save her!”

The priests did not move hastily even though they were capable of saving my nanny by injecting holy power immediately. 

“But an unidentified person suddenly appeared like this and entered the temple through magic…….”

“I am the princess of Bardion. What else do you need?”

I cried out, clutching at the hesitating priest.

“What? Ba, Bardion?”

The priests exchanged glances at the name Bardion coming from my mouth.

“Hey, what’s going on?”

Then a spherical man appeared across the priest.

“…… Princess?”

“Yes, Nelvasto…….”

“No, what is this?”

Nelvasto, who came close to me through the priests, looked at me in bewilderment and looked at the situation.

“Hurry up and save my nanny…….”

I asked Nelvasto in tears. I want someone to treat my nanny quickly.

“Don’t cry. Your nanny’s fine now.”

Nelvasto’s hand patted my head carefully and said,

A subtle light began to emerge from Nelvasto, who closed his eyes with his hands reaching out to my nanny. A light immediately flowed into the fallen nanny.

“Fortunately, she’ll be fine because you got here in time.”

After receiving the treatment, Nanny was taken to a room inside the temple. He reassured me by saying that staying here, where holy power is overflowing, will naturally speed up her recovery.

“Don’t worry too much. She’s in a deep sleep now, okay?”

I was relaxed and exhausted, so I nodded calmly.

“Hmm… Shall we move?”

Nelvasto looked around and told me. When I came to my senses, there were quite a few shrines gathered here. Everyone stared blankly at this side with puzzled faces, and as Nelvasto said, they had no choice but to move.

“Let’s go to my room.”

Fay and I followed Nelvasto’s footsteps.

Meow.

White welcomed us as soon as we entered the room.The white cat I mistook for Fay the other day. As soon as she saw me, white, who was hanging on the bed, ran like an arrow and rubbed her face on my legs.

I reached out and patted White on the head.

“Hi. Long time no see.”

I was a little surprised by the fluffy touch wrapped around my hand.

“I didn’t expect to see you again like this. You must have been very surprised.”

Nelvasto left the cup he was holding and put it in front of Fay, and opened his mouth.

“Thank you…….”

I sincerely conveyed my heart to Nelvasto. Nelvasto shook his head with a smile.

“That’s what I’m supposed to do. You must have had a hard time coming to the temple. I don’t think you came in through the entrance, how did you get in?”

“Oh, that’s….”

It was all thanks to Fay that we were able to come to the temple.

“I’ve heard that you’re a trainee at the Magic tower, you seem to be able to handle mana at your disposal. That’s great. Did you take after your dad?”

I replied with an awkward smile when Nelvasto praised me, saying, “I’m really amazing.”

It was because I remembered the words of Grandfather Mejihos, who said it would be difficult to reveal the identity of Fay, an unofficial wizard of the tower.

“But your friend…… he doesn’t look so good, are you okay?”

“Oh, I’m all right.”

When I looked at Fay, who was drinking tea quietly, his complexion was remarkably pale.

“Fay. Are you sure you’re okay?”

I was worried that he might have overworked himself because of me. He certainly looked weak after arriving at the temple.

“I’m really fine……. Liel.”

“You don’t look okay, looks like you need a rest.”

I touched Fay’s forehead. Fortunately, he didn’t seem to have a fever, but his face became more and more pale as time went by.

“As the princess said, you need to take a rest. I’ll show you to the room next to the nanny.”

“……I’m all right, Argh.”

“Fay!”

Fay held his head as if in pain. As expected, his body must have been overworked after using too much power today.

“Fay. You need to rest. Let’s go back to the duchy with Nanny in a little while.”

Fay, who was breathing as if he was having difficulty, was supported and taken to the room next to my nanny.

“Shall we walk for a while, princess? There are quite a few things to see in the temple, too. Your nanny and friend will be fine after some rest.”

After leaving Fay in the room, Nelvasto suggested walking together. I felt quite reassured by the touch of patting my head. 

“Well, Pope. Thank you again for saving my nanny…….”

I walked with Nelvasto and said,

“You’re calling me Pope again?”

“What?”

“You called my name earlier. I’d rather you call me comfortably.”

He must be talking about when other priests were just looking around and neglecting my nanny. I didn’t know what to do, so I just called out Nelvasto’s name.

“Yes, Mr. Nelvasto……?”

Because he is the pope, there was nothing appropriate to call him.

“Hmm, I don’t like that. it’s so distant Oh, yes! How about Uncle Nell?”

I was a little embarrassed by the sudden narrow distance.

“Now! Follow me, princess. Uncle Nell.”

Nelvasto said, pointing at himself with both hands.

“Why uncle?”

I wondered why he chose the title uncle among the many titles he had.

“Ah. It’s because the princess doesn’t know, but if you look at it, I’m also like the princess’s uncle, right?”

Nelvasto smiled slyly and insisted on the validity of the title, saying he was like a brother of Raina.

I decided to do what he wanted. He saved my nanny’s life, and calling him that is not a big deal.

“Yes, Uncle Nell.”

“Haha, yes.”

Nelvasto praised me by clapping softly as if I had done well.

How old do you think I am?

“I’m not that young”

Unknowingly, the foul language popped out first.

“Of course, I know…”

Nelvasto, who seemed to have not been hit, comforted me with a mature tone this time.

“Haha.”

“Why do you keep laughing?”

I asked when I saw Nelvasto, who burst into a pleasant smile.

“I just thought of the old days. The princess looks a lot like her mother.”

Nelvasto looked down at me and said,

“… Do I look a lot like my mother?”

“Yes! Especially when you don’t like something, the frown on your cheeks is exactly the same.”

Nelvasto said, tapping his cheek a couple of times. This is the second time I’ve heard Raina’s story from someone else since Elvin.

The first is the story of Raina when she was with Cardin. And now it was Raina’s story before meeting Cardin.

Nelvasto walked around the temple and took to the places Raina often visited. Nell, who was telling Raina’s story, had a happier face than ever.

Has he not married anyone yet?

Many years have passed, so maybe he’s already married.

However, it seemed to be an inappropriate question to ask at our second meeting so I decided to postpone it for the next time.

He kept telling Raina’s story that I didn’t know in a cheerful voice. I recalled the woman in the portrait hanging in Cardin’s bedroom. A woman with light purple hair like me and a bright beautiful smile. 

If I say I’m not curious, that would be a lie.

I imagined what expression and voice she would have when she calls my name if she were alive. Maybe she will smile brighter than the smile on the portrait after calling my name.

While I was thinking about it, I heard a clear sound of water somewhere.

“Oh? Water is flowing on the floor.”

I looked down on the floor searching for the source of the sudden sound of water. A gentle stream of water was flowing on the long road dug in all directions at the bottom of the temple.

Looking at the priests wearing pure white robes and the water flowing under them in the mote-free temple, who can say that they are not holy?

“It is fascinating. All the water running here is holy water.”

Nelvasto leaned over and said, scooping water with both hands.

“Since it’s water mixed with holy power, if ordinary people drink it, it will replenish their energy.”

Nelvasto spilled the water on flowers in nearby flower beds.

“Like this, ta-da! If you give them to plants, they can make them bloom.”

When water permeated near the roots, the flowers quickly spread out and bloomed.

“Wow… I want to try.”

At that sight, I poured water on the floor along with Nelvasto.

“Haha, try it. But even if the princess tries it, it’s not going to work…….”

When I poured water on the flower right next to me, strangely enough, the flower bloomed in an instant.

“Wow! It’s blooming.”

I can’t believe that holy water had this effect…….

Will it have an effect for the Merkets? 

Seeing the buds in full bloom reminded me of Sudar and Johnny.

“Uncle Nell, can I take this holy water?”

“…….”

“Uncle Nell?”

I looked back because I couldn’t hear Nelvasto’s answer. His slightly dilated eyes stared at me.

Is it because I suddenly asked for holy water?

“No, you don’t have to give it to me.”

“Huh? No, that’s not it. I’ll give you as much as you want. I’ll give you everything!”

Nelvasto shook his head excitedly, saying, “I thought about something else for a while.”

I hope this works for the curses of Sudar and Johnny. I wanted to use holy water as soon as possible, recalling the two who would be chatting on the window frame of the room.
