“If this is revealed, you know that you will go to hell. You gave me the least amount of consideration. With this secret, if I use my strength as I wish, people will begin to doubt it.”

An ‘ah’ was uttered from the High Priest’s mouth.

“But if you are kidnapped and forced to use all your strength, things will be different.”

“Why did you kidnap me for… it would make the situation worse for you.”

“I’m so great that I don’t have to care about that. I don’t care about what others think. There’s no worse situation.”

In an instant, the High Priest’s voice changed. Somehow, I could feel that the words were a little difficult to understand. I couldn’t understand everything, but I just looked at the High Priest, thinking I’d trust Dad.

“…All right. The rumors seem true, after all.”

“Rumors?”

“It’s rumored that Your Highness has a new woman in mind and that you love her a lot. They’re already digging into it in the capital.”

At that time, my father’s face, where his chin was raised, his chest was puffed and was acting confidently throughout, changed. It turned red to the point where I wondered if he was hurt.

I touched my dad’s face.

“Dad? Are you sick?’

“”Oh, it hurts- ah, it’s not painful. It’s just that the High Priest is talking nonsense, hmm…”

After clearing his throat a few times, my dad put me down on the bed and released the rope tied around the High Priest.

“Stop talking nonsense and get on with it.”

“Why not? I thought I would die if I didn’t.”

Only a deep sigh filled the room. The High Priest gently shook the hem of his robe, who was still hesitant.

“Mom… help me.”

That was all I could do.

By listening to the conversation between the two, I learned that using this power could kill the High Priest. I don’t want anyone to be sacrificed because of us, but I wanted to save my mother. That was me being selfish. I will not refuse any sacrifice if it is the one I love.

“…”

“You’re the only one who can save my mom.”

The truth I didn’t want to admit was always unspoken. The moment I put it in my mouth, I admitted it so I didn’t take a bite out of anything about my mom. But this time, there was no way.

No one else knows how precious each minute my mom is.

“Then save me. Mom… she didn’t do anything wrong except raise me… why should she die? Why is my mom the one who should die…?”

I really wanted to ask someone.

What did my mother do so badly? She embraced me even if wasn’t her own daughter, and she raised me with so much care that I didn’t even notice. She valued me more than herself, and she loved me with all her heart.

Well, she deserves praise, but why does my mom keep dying?

In an instant, tears welled up in my eyes.

Maybe he felt it, but the High Priest smiled for the first time instead of just looking at me.

“…No one has to die. I’ll try… but I don’t know if my strength will help.”

His large hand patted my head lightly.

The next moment, the High Priest went up to my mother and placed his hand on her forehead. Unintelligible words leaked out of his mouth and his body radiated so bright that I couldn’t see it with my eyes open.

The warmth and tenderness was so overwhelming.

The power he used was different from mine. That power was as warm and soft as my mom’s arms… It was indescribable.

Should I say it’s overwhelming?

In the blink of an eye, the power that filled my eyes flowed into my mother.

I was holding my mother’s hand just in case, and I had no choice but to watch it.

Finally, the light went out. Her body felt full of vitality more than ever before. My mom’s hand I was holding was warm, and her unknown aura lingered.

“It’s hard… I don’t know if it happened, but… I did my best.”

The High Priest in front of us, perhaps exhausted, tumbled to the floor. His unusually white hair turned even whiter, and his face was wrinkled more.

My dad walked over and waved the bell next to the bed.

Then, Cecilia and the knights came in from outside.

“Did you find it?”

“Here it is. Bring the doctor and have the doctor see him.”

Perhaps unaware of this fact, Cecilia hastily covered her mouth.

“You don’t know who this is?”

“Oh… yes.”

There was no way she didn’t know that this was my father’s way of being considerate to others.
