No. 288
Ressette Shayman's misfortunes came from her mother.
Her mother was born of the Shayman tribe, the first creature of the evil spirit.
In the Shayman tribe, marriages between blood relatives prevailed in order to maintain their special strength.
Instead of being born with great physical abilities, Shayman's children are determined to marry from her mother's womb.
The same was true of Ressette's mother. Instead of having a monstrous hearing ability to understand sounds outside a kilometer, as soon as she was born, she was taken over as the wife of her cousin, brother, lame.
Bored with the rules of her tribe, she fled town on the eve of her wedding.
After she escaped the village, she fell in love with the man whom she met, who was the Duke of Grimoire Seondae.
However, “Outside” was a very different place from what she thought.
Cumbersome clothes, customs and manners that don't make sense. The fierceness that those who do not follow the rules of society are completely excluded.
Disappointed outside her, she suffers from a terrible homesickness, then declares goodbye to the Duke of Grimoire and returns to the village.
She stays pregnant with Ressette.
The man, who will be her husband, accepted her even though she knew she was pregnant.
It wasn't a matter of a partner determined by the rules of each village, an illegitimate child in a loveless marriage.
Ressette, who was born like that, was terribly lonely.
Her stepfather couldn't be said to be a bad guy. He did not love Ressette, but he did his duty as her father.
The problem arose after her birth mother gave birth to her stepfather's children.
Her stepfather loved his child, who inherited his own blood. When a severe drought came, he sold Ressette to the Temples to feed his child a few potatoes.
That was the last look Ressette remembered of her parents.
Her father, smiling brightly while feeding potatoes bought with money from the Temples, and a mother who glances at herself being dragged by priests, and then turns her head to a distant mountain.
Her family conserved her life by selling Ressette, but a few years later they died in a flood.
It was then that Grimoire's ancestors learned that he had a daughter.
After visiting a submerged village to mourn the death of her lover, Ressette's mother gave birth to her illegitimate child, and he learned that the illegitimate child had the same vivid green eyes as himself.
Grimoire's ancestors were eager to find the corpse of his daughter.
As he searched for his child who barely survived the flood, the other child said.
[The girl in the red wall house? I do not know…… I do not know.]
[Aren't you from one village?]
[The villagers said that they should not play with the kids in the red walled house. The woman in the red-walled house said that it had been contaminated'outside'. Oh, and it seems like I saw the village chief and the uncle of the red-walled house fighting big…]
[Fight?]
[She said that she would not forgive him because she took the child of the tribe. The uncle said that if he could feed Jubilee with food, he could betray God's father, not even God. Oh, Jubilee is the name of the boy in the red wall house.]
Maybe the stepfather sold his daughter to feed his own child for food.
He may have a daughter alive.
[What about the girl? What is the girl's name?]
[I don't know that. Because the aunt and uncle of the red wall house have never called her by name. The uncle and the aunt called her 'This' or 'Hey'.]
The joy that was overwhelmed by the thought that his daughter might be alive disappeared now and then.
Why didn't I know you?
He would have been able to raise it with his own hands if he had looked at her at least once while she was alive, if he hadn't hurt his pride that she had been thrown away like a rag mate.
His guilt was shackled. He's a terrible shackles who can't be solved without finding the child.
However, Grimoire's ancestors never met Ressette.
When he found out that Ressette had been sold to the Temple, she was already dead.
Grimoire's ancestors hated the Dubbleed for not protecting her. He believed he had sacrificed his daughter in the battle for power between the father and son.
But she was the most unforgivable thing he could do.
Anger and guilt created a void that nothing could fill. That's why Grimoire's ancestors passed away Jawiwaga to his son and disappeared.
After hearing the story of Reginald about Ressette and Grimoire, Mina bite her lips tightly.
"Then……”
“Grimoire believes that the Temple took and raised his daughter, who was almost sold as a slave to his.”
“So did he say he would adopt me?”
“Yes, to repay the grace.”
“……”
“Grimoire's ancestors are hard to meet, but he thinks he was blessed with the Temple, so if you meet him, he will not refuse. So you do what I tell you-”
“Poetry, I hate it. I can't lie to someone like that.”
"What?"
“I see. I'm sorry for his dead daughter, and I lied that I was his granddaughter, who took the body of his dead daughter to a person suffering from heart disease...…!”
“Would you throw everything away and leave?”
"Yeah?"
“If you want, I'll send it back to the original world. Anyway, if LeBlaine Dubbleed becomes a child of real fate, you can't be in this world.”
Mina's face turned white.
'Going back? To the original world?’
It felt like her blood was cold.
There was no one there for her to understand her. She has no one to support her ideals, her dreams.
But here...…
[Please lean on me, Mina. I'll give you whatever you want, whatever you want.]
There is Henry who supports the dream,
[Who is it. Who dared make you cry!]
If it’s my job, there was Ishak,
[I am not disappointed with you.]
[……]
[No matter what you do, I am not disappointed with you. Promise.]
There was John.
And……
[My daughter.]
Mina, recalling the voice of the Duke Amity, bury her face in her hands.
Her previous memories of her life were a precious treasure. A very precious treasure that cannot be given up.
Returning to Mina Jung's world, she will not even have the hope that she will be able to return to her previous life.
'If that happens, then I...… I……’
Reginald held her shoulder firmly.
“This is just a process. The process of bringing eternal peace to this world.”
"Process……”
“Only through suffering, you become a hero. Now your pain will make you the hero of this world.”
Mina, swallowing her dry saliva, looked at Reginald.
“…… I will.”
Yes, this is a sacrifice. A painful sacrifice for peace.
A twisting smile floated to Reginald's mouth.
“That’s great, baby.”

Next day.
A reply returned to Reginald's letter to the ancestral Duke of Grimoire.
In the reply, it was written that if it was tonight, we could have a short conversation.
Reginald, who put his robe on Mina's shoulder, said.
“You must remember how to say it, right?”
“I am the soul of Resette's dead daughter who has been reincarnated, and she has returned to this world with the power of God. And, with the power of the Duke of Grimoire, he wants to promote peace in the world...…”
“You are brilliant.”
As the two had a conversation, a loud shout came from outside the window.
“The Temple please tell the truth!”
“Who is the child of fate!”
“Please confirm the existence of an angel!”
After summoning an angel, LeBlaine was doing a miracle as if she were looking forward to it.
She healed the sick among the people of the noble family who did not participate in the worship service.
Rumors that she had healed Count Idonoe on the verge of passing his breath, her fanatics changed her target.
Reginald tucked his tongue and draped the curtain nervously.
“Don’t worry.”
"However……”
“The Grimoire is a family that owns a tower. The lords of Grimoire are powerful anti-magicians from generation to generation. With their help, we can make Amy the perfect Aslan.”
“…… Do you mean that we can also use Gremory's talent, 'Healing'?”
“It’s not healing, but making it undead.”
"I beg your pardon?"
When Mina raised her head, Reginald laughed.
“Isn't it like a blessing if we let those who suffered from sickness forget their suffering?”
“……”
“It's not just our purpose. Grimoire is a person who can start a powerful martial arts. With help, you will be able to take all of LeBlaine Dubbleed's power.”
Reginald, who said so, led Mina out of her room.
She asked the sun at some point.
A dark night even the moon is covered by clouds.
Mina took her steps toward the back door of the Holy See.
She had just left the Holy See to go to the place she had promised with Grimoire's ancestors.
"Huh……?”
She began to wet the ground one by one with raindrops.
Reginald looked up at the sky with a puzzled expression.
'Is there any news of rain today?'
It was then.
Bang-!!
With the sound of thunder, torrential rain poured down from the rain clouds surrounding the Holy See.
"What……”
Mina looked around her with a confused expression.
It was weird.
The rain was falling only on the Holy See. Even one step outside the Holy See does not reach the rain.
She looked Mina looking around with her stiff face.
“Reginald-nim, this is somehow weird……”
At that time, the sound of the soldiers' workers resonated quickly.
What appeared with them...…
“LeBlaine!”
“No way, you……!”
Surprise attack? Are you going to make a surprise attack? Dare to go to the Holy See where the Pope is?
LeBlaine said with a smile.
“I told you. That patience is short, I am.”
"What……?”
“No matter how long I wait for Benedict, I came to pick it up because I didn't send it away. Gyeomsa Gyeomsa-”
“……”
“You kidnapped too.”
