Chapter 51 – Part 1
Just as harsh words were about to come out of Dante’s mouth, Dad shut him up with a growl.
“I said nonsense. Master heard that the lady was afraid that he would give them very severely. He only meant for you to worry less because he had given them the appropriate punishment. Ahem.”
“All the recovered property was reserved for you. Use it when you see it fit.”
I was so surprised by what I heard that the cookie fell from my mouth.
“As soon as we finished cleaning up the mine, it will also be transferred under the lady’s name. Calpihne will let you know when we have sorted out the paperwork.”
Dad and Dante took turns driving me crazy.
How are you talking about a mine as if you were simply saying hello?
“These days, I heard it has been a trend for young ladies at parties to ask who had the bigger mine, or what kind of gifts they had received. Speaking of the gold mines owned by Descartes, one would immediately become the main character. Ah, I really want to see you grow up and be the main character of the capital’s high society.”
The excited Dante was even ready to sing a song. More than that, there was even a trace of pride on Dad’s face.
I should be happy too, right?
I stretched my arms wide and made a hurray posture.
“Wow, Dad’s the best!”
Dad cleared his throat and slightly touched his lips and nose with his large hand. “It’s nothing compared to what you are worried about.”
“But still, you’re the best!”
“But I did the cleaning, my lady?”
Huh?
“Well, then… Dante’s the best too!”
Dad’s eyes changed slightly as he looked at Dante.
I hastily added, “Dad is the best in the world! And Dante comes next!”
Aish, this was tiring.
“It’s my honor to hear that, my Lady.” Dante put his hand on his left chest and bowed to me.
“Then, can I buy these cookies? As well as all the pretty clothes?”
I suddenly wondered how much money was in front of me.
“If the viscount hadn’t been too crazy about gambling, we would have been able to collect more. Excluding the mine, you can build a small castle. You can also buy the pretty dresses you were wearing at the dress shop,” Dante said as he spread his hands wide open.
’That’s, that’s more than what I thought.’
I tried hard not to notice to keep the corners of my mouth rising.
Just then, a somewhat urgent knock coming from outside caught our attention.
“I will go out and see what’s it about.” Dante returned to his usual tone and left the room. Not long after, he returned with a pale face. “Your Excellency, I have something to tell you.”
“Is it something serious?”
It was as if he was asking if it was something I shouldn’t hear. Dante glanced at me and shook his head.
“It isn’t like that, but ridiculous things are said to have arrived in the mansion. I think it would be better for Your Excellency to see it with your own eyes.”
When Dante said these in bewilderment, I became curious too. I ate the crispy cookies and looked at them curiously.
“I need to know what it is that I have to check. If it’s useless, then return it.”
Dante looked at Dad and the door alternately, then scratched his head. “That, His Holiness sent a Holy Sword to Your Excellency…”
’What did I just hear?’
Hesitating for a moment when he heard Dante’s words, Dad soon let out a laugh. “…They must have gone crazy.”
“Since the meeting with Your Excellency hadn’t been successful, it seems like they will use an extreme method. I don’t think you can send it back this time.”
’The Holy Sword? They sent the Holy Sword to Dad, one of the most important items in the temple?’
I really didn’t hear it wrong, the Pope was indeed being crazy. The Holy Sword, as well as the Holy Grail, was the object that embodied the Livrak Church. The Holy Grail was for the priest who served God, and the Holy Sword was for the knight who protected God. And the one holding them both in his hand was the Pope.
In the original novel, it was said that there was a large mural of the Holy Grail and the Holy Sword in the biggest chapel of the Central Temple. It was that important. So, there was no reason for the Pope to send the Holy Sword to Dad, who wasn’t even the best paladin in the temple.
Did the Pope really go crazy like dad said?
I tilted my head. This was a completely unexpected development for me who had seen the original novel.
I knew very well that the temple liked my father even before. But of course, the Pope had a one-way street interest as my father hated anything in the world other than my mother. I may have changed my fate to survive and prevent my father from turning into a tyrant, but they became obsessive enough to send my father the Holy Sword.
‘I’ll have to ask Hilla and Kuhn about this.’
There must be a reason why they were pursuing Dad so persistently
I needed to be careful in case I ran into the priest who chased after me and my mother.
I wiggled down and got ready to leave the office. “Dad, I am going now.”
“You’re going already? You didn’t eat that much. I even asked the chef for a bunch of cookies my Lady likes.”
“I ate a lot. I ate two of them.”
With the largest cookie from the plate in hand, I stood to leave. I needed to eat as I went.
“Mariette.”
“Huh?”
“Have you thought of what you want?”
“What I want?”
’Is there anything more?’
“Yes, anything. Since I received a gift from you, I should also do my obligation. I will cherish this. Good job,” Dad said as he lightly shook the paper.
