Saved by Crazy Stepfather! - Chapter 100-1
I even knew it. Anyway, this was a kidnapping case, and those who couldn’t be stopped as soon as they knew about it will also be accomplices.
My eyes lit up as I watched my dad try to make the others do as little harm as possible.
“Dad, you’re so sweet.”
“Huh? What do you mean?”
“You’re sweet!”
Dad tilted his head as if he didn’t understand what I was saying.
“It’s just… my dad is very mean and sometimes seems crazy, but you’re kind!”
“…Am I?’
“Yeah! That’s right. Dad, are you okay now?”
At that, Dad looked at Cecilia, who was standing in the corner of the room.
“Go get him.”
“That guy… that guy?”
“If you go out and tell the knights, they’ll understand.”
“Ah…!”
Cecilia, who tilted her head, hurried out at my father’s words.
“Ah! That priest? Is that the priest?”
“Yes.”
“Then, who is the High Priest?”
“That’s him.”
“Ah.”
I couldn’t help smiling at my proud father. He looked cute when he didn’t call others by their names or titles to avoid harming others.
“So, Bebe, you can call that guy and that guy too.”
“Yes! Okay!”
“You listen very well. It’s lovely just looking at it, but it’s even more lovely to listen to it like this.”
My dad’s big hand patted my head lightly. I liked the touch, so I sat still like a puppy and felt my dad’s soft touch for a long time. How long has it been?
It was a long time before someone came into the room. It was Priest Kayle.
“Did you find him?”
“The High Priest has used his powers. Let’s check it out.”
“Is the High Priest all right?’
At that, Dad sighed and gestured to my mom with his chin. He didn’t want to talk nonsense and look at my mom quickly, but Kayle was busy raising his voice as if he didn’t understand.
“Your Highness!”
“Stop talking nonsense and let’s see. After that, I will tell you what happened.”
“Almost…”
Mumbles came out of his mouth, but Dad wasn’t someone to care about all those words. On the contrary, Dad kept his mouth tight shut.
Finally, Kayle, who was about to add something to her, took a deep breath and looked at my mom. At the same time, a smile spread across his face.
“You really did it. The High Priest was here!”
“Yeah, so what? Do you think she can live?”
“Yes. That body had already exhausted its vitality so the soul was trying to escape. So, medically or otherwise, there was no turning back. Fortunately, the body is full of vitality, like a newborn child. The High Priest really used the power of God.”
On the contrary, his mouth curled like a moved man.
“That’s a relief.”
“Then how did you get it to work? He must’ve tried not to use it for a while.”
“Thanks to my excellent speech.”
Ah, wasn’t it because of his excellent threats? For a moment, I was about to refute what my father said, but my eyes trembled and smiled. Fortunately, Kayle seemed to be the only one who saw me like that.
“What are you talking about…?”
“Yes, are you dissatisfied?”
“D-Don’t tell me, ha…”
After scratching his head awkwardly, he turned to my mom again.
“I’m sure she’ll wake up in a few days. Then, she’ll never fall into such a deep sleep alone after that.”
“Why doesn’t she wake up right away?”
“Her body has to adapt to it, so don’t worry.”
Dad, who was listening to Kayle, nodded gravely.
“I see. Then you can stay here for a while.”
“…Huh?”
“I’ll send the High Priest back so you can stay here and check.”
His face turned pale at the unexpected words.
“Well, are you saying I’m the only one left?”
My father smiled more joyfully when he saw Kayle’s bewilderment.
“Why? Dissatisfied? Still, we are very hospitable.”
“That’s true, but…”
“Then let’s decide. Come and check Adele every day on the behalf of the High Priest. Report any change to her, and if she doesn’t wake up before the time Adele says ‘You’re dead’, then get out.”
He waved his hand as if he felt something was going wrong, but Dad was adamant.
Kayle was dragged out by the knights who had entered the room, and my dad beckoned towards Cecilia.
As if he had discussed what to do in advance, Cecilia took all the people in the room, including herself out.
“Then, Bebe, you should rest now too. There’s nothing to worry about.”
“Huh…? Really? I really don’t need to worry?”
“Yes, she’ll live now. Trust them. I don’t originally believe in God, but you can trust their powers.”
It’s not that I didn’t, but the warm power I felt from my mom gave me peace of mind. I’ll never have anything to worry about.
“O-Okay…!”
“Instead…”
“Huh?”
I nodded awkwardly as Dad opened his eyes and smiled.
“Don’t stay in bed until Adele wakes up and gets up.”
“Ah…”
