You Two Will Give Birth To Me In The Future

Chapter 12

‘Where did you come from?’

Fariel’s question was fast to the point.

You’re asking me a question that’ll cause me trouble.

‘I’m doomed.’

Monkeys sometimes fall from trees. So, It seems like I mistook that this was my room since I was tired.

There is only one answer I can give in this situation.

“Euaeng.”

I lay flat on the floor and put my thumbs in my mouth and sucked my thumb.

Fariel’s face twisted into an absurd expression. An intruder who doesn’t know where they came from suddenly starts sucking their fingers like an idiot.

I just closed my eyes.

‘Let’s pretend I don’t know anything.’

It was a shameless move, but all I could do in this situation was to ignore him.

‘A true gentleman does not put his pride before a cause.’

As I was comforting myself like that, warm hands touched my back.

“Euu?”

When I opened my eyes, Fariel was holding me and looking at me as if he saw something bizarre. He pursed his chapped lips and muttered a little.

“What are you doing?”

I shrugged in surprise. On the outside, he was an ordinary and cute child, but I remembered the words of Fariel I met during the day. ‘Your nothing.’ His voice was dripped with hostility.

‘Even if I get caught, I’m still a baby.’

It was frustrating and annoying. I closed my mouth and looked at Fariel.

Fariel frowned and said,

“You, maybe⋯⋯.”

“Your highness, what did you say?”

At that moment, someone outside the door asked.

At the sudden voice, Fariel and I turned to look at the door at the same time. For a moment, we looked at each other with bewildered eyes. Fariel opened his mouth hastily.

“Wait a moment.”

At those words, the door opened abruptly.

The bright light from the hallway came in through the crack and brightened the room. At the sharp and bright view, we frowned at the same time.

“Your Highness?”

As I blinked, a maid with a puzzled face caught my eye. The maid’s gaze, which had been on Fariel’s face, fell on me, who was in his arms.

“⋯⋯ Saint!”

The maid screamed in surprise. My face was bleached white.

‘This is all ruined.’

At that moment, my mind was thrown into memories of the distant past.

It was a scene in the capital square that I saw one day. A witch was tied up in the middle of the square, and citizens surrounded her and shouted with angry expressions on their faces. ‘Defeat the witch!’

“What’s going on?”

At that time, a knight patrolling the hallway heard the commotion and approached the door.

Immediately behind the startled maid, the knight stuck out his head. He looked into the room with an indifferent expression, found me in Fariel’s arms, and was greatly embarrassed.

“Saint!”

The same words came out of his mouth.

“Okay, hold on, I’ll call the nanny in a moment.”

The maid said that to the knight and disappeared. Soon after, she reappeared and somehow brought not the nanny, but the chief attendant of the Sun Palace.

The chief attendant was a middle-aged man with a stern look, and brown hair tied together while wearing a monocle.

“What is this?”

In response to the chief’s question, I was only thinking that everything was ruined. The voices of civilians yelling to overthrow the witch continued to resound in my ears.

However, Fariel’s maid suddenly bowed her head to the chief.

“I’m really sorry!”

‘⋯⋯ For what?’

At my confused gaze, her apology continued.

“I was away for a while, it was all my fault.”

Then, the maid looked back at Fariel with a slightly resentful face.

“His Highness Fariel asked to hug Saint during the day, but His Highness Ain refused. I think that’s why he secretly brought the saint out.”

My eyes widened at those words. The resentment of the civilians, which had grown louder in my ears, subsided as if cold water had been poured on me.

‘Ah.’

I soon understood the situation.

Today, Fariel said he wanted to hug me, and my dad flatly refused. So, Fariel, who had lingering feelings, seemed to have been misunderstood that he secretly broke into my room and brought me while everyone was asleep.

‘That’s right, I’m a baby right now.’

Normally, if a baby is found in another room with a child in his arms, you will think that the child has brought the baby.

‘Instead of thinking that the baby was actually a witch and the future empress, who became young due to the side effects of a time leap, and that she was caught coming back from secretly hiding a spellbook in a secret passage⋯⋯.’

I pat my chest. Looking at the arrival of the chief of the Sun Palace, this room seems to be inside the Sun Palace. It doesn’t seem to be that far away from my room, and it was the most realistic reasoning to think that way. I’m relieved.

There’s only one problem.

“I didn’t do it!”

Fariel yelled. My ears were ringing and I closed my eyes tightly.

‘Well then.’

Fariel, who had been misunderstood, had no way not to explain it. He pointed at me and shouted,

“I didn’t bring her. She came to my room!”

I was nervous and chewed my lips with my toothless gums.

In front of the huffering Fariel, the chief slowly approached. He crouched to meet Fariel at eye level.

“Are you going to say that in front of His Highness Ain?”

“I really will!”

“You say that the little saint who can’t even crawl, opened the bedroom door and came to visit His Highness Fariel?”

“That- that.”

Whether it was strange to him, Fariel stuttered as if embarrassed.

His confusion seemed to be seen by others as a liar’s agitation.

“Your Highness.”

The chief said in a hushed voice.

“This is a different problem from what I’ve seen so far. This could be a big deal.”

At the stern gaze of the chief, Fariel frowned as if he was speechless.

“No⋯⋯.”

“Give me the saint.”

The chief reached out to me.

Fariel huffed and looked alternately at the chief’s hands and me, and threw me at him.

“Whew!”

A pathetic sound escaped my mouth. Since I was young, my body has weakened, and I was shocked like a leaf swaying at the slightest blow.

Fortunately, the chief hurriedly caught me and hugged me. I groaned and shook my head.

At that moment, I saw it. The red flames emanated from the eyes of the chief looking at Fariel.

“Your highness!”

The fierce yell came from the chief’s mouth.

***

I don’t know how things went after that.

It was because Linda, who had heard of the situation and ran to it, took me back to the hall, so I couldn’t watch it till the end.

“I’m sorry, baby⋯⋯.”

Linda hugged me and apologized over and over again. It’s me who should apologize.

It might be exaggerated as a kidnapping case, but fortunately, no one received any punishment because it was resolved even before the incident broke out.

Instead, an escort knight was standing in front of the door, and a strange relic was in my cradle. Since it is the palace of the future people with the power of destruction, the security of the Sun Palace has not been strict.

‘Thanks for bothering me.’

I couldn’t blame anyone because it was my mistake.

I was worried that Fariel might have noticed something, but fortunately, no one seemed to listen to him. Seeing that he didn’t even come to see me, I think he must have been very angry.

I remember the last appearance of Fariel, who was furious. He must be upset that he was suspected of lying⋯⋯.

‘To be honest, it is unfair to make a complaint.’

Oh, it’s not good to think like this.

But I didn’t have a good feeling about Fariel, who spoke bad words to me at our first meeting and even threw me at our second meeting.

I don’t know why Fariel was sleeping in the Sun Palace that day, but looking at his temper and hostile attitude, if he was this close, sparks would surely come out. It wasn’t intentional, but I thought I was lucky that things happened like this.

‘But it’s also true that I was stupid.’

I was very surprised by the mistake I made. I was intimidated and stayed in the cradle for a while, calmly restoring my divinity.

However, a day or two later, I remembered the spellbook hidden in the passage.

I’m a timid and a stupid coward, but there was still one lesson I learned from using the time-leap spell. It was the fact that to make things better, I had to take some risks.

If I had been quiet in my uncle’s grasp because I was afraid of using magic, I wouldn’t have met my dad again.

On every other night, I went to read the spellbook hidden in the secret passage to avoid my nanny’s eyes. I learned a lot of useful spells by reading hard whenever I had time.

But there was one problem.

‘I need ingredients to use spells.’

There were quite a few useful spells in my mother’s spellbook, but special materials were needed to draw the magic circle. It was the ink sepia made with the ink of the giant squid living in the Black Sea.

When I used the time leap, my aunt got it for me, but it was an item that I couldn’t get now.

I kept thinking about it even after I hid the book in the secret passage and returned to the crib.

‘Should I go to the Information Guild?’

However, it was impossible to go to the information guild in this body. If I travel to the next city where the information guild is with magic, I would get exhausted in the middle of my trip.

How long will it take to learn how to walk? How old do I have to be to get permission to go out? ⋯⋯ I have to do something before 6 years.

‘Is there any other way to use spells?’

While holding my head and groaning, it became afternoon. The servants who came in for cleaning were sweeping and cleaning the room.

“It’s really incredible.”

The servant who came close suddenly said that. I turned my head to see if he was saying that to me, but his gaze was directed at the holy relic in my cradle.

“His highness must have been very worried about the saint.”

“I know, she must be very precious to have the blessing of protection of a holy relic.”

At their words, I turned my attention to the holy relic in my crib.

The cradle railing was imbued with a transparent crystal-like relic, which shimmered faintly. Although it was small in size, it has enormous value since it is a holy relic.

I, too, was really surprised when my dad put the holy relic in my cradle. The relic with the blessing of protection was not used except by those with divinity. So far, I’ve only felt burdened and apologetic.

“His Majesty seems to really care about Saint.”

Hearing those words, the corners of my lips relaxed.

“Kkya.”

Oh, my lips have relaxed.

It’s really a big deal because your facial muscles are getting weak. Without dignity of an emperor.

“I understand your feelings⋯⋯.”

“Eung.”

However, the servants looked at me with a similarly relaxed expression. I got a little embarrassed and lowered my head slightly.

“Anyway, I’m glad. Now His Highness Fariel will never be able to touch the saint.”

Then, the servant murmured.

“His highness doesn’t have stigma.”

‘⋯⋯ What?’
