Chapter 218

TL: Zimmings

That afternoon, at Dubblede’s mansion.

“Wonderful!”

“Dubblede’s sun!”

“Our cutie!”

Enthusiastic applause from the vassals and administrators poured in. I arrogantly raised my chin.

“I know.”

I deserve this compliment today!

Laughter erupted at my shameless act. My brothers do so too.

“In the first year of purifying the land, it is said to have a bountiful harvest. Next year, they’ll be able to eat really well.”

Henry and Isaac praised me, as Johann patted my head.

Viscount Dubos and Nos were almost weeping.

In Dubblede, a huge amount of money for charity is withdrawn every year.

Even when commoners became farmers, they had to pay for the land taxes.

But, it was impossible to punish the noble who set sky high taxes. And the amount of farmers started increasing as well.

Dublede owned the largest estate in the empire, but most of our land was damaged, so our fertile land was scarce.

By resolving the shortage of land, it is possible not only to reduce the funds for charity given, but also to avoid suffering of many poor people.

The trouble that had been bugging Viscount Dubos and Nos for years had been resolved.

‘And there…’

The chairman came and whispered to me.

“Ms. Javelin had called us. The charity party is full.”

“What about Frances Arabel?”

“As you instructed, Francis Arabel’s party won’t be better than Cecilia’s.”

It was certain that Cecilia would win now.

20,000 francs was given to Count Arabel from the hope mercenary guild.

With only 20,000 francs, I confirmed the land for next year’s bountiful harvest and Cecilia’s throne.

‘I thought I would need to spend more money!’

I giggled and sipped the orange juice.

And a few days later, the final selection was announced at the Imperial Palace.

The sentence written at the bottom is Cecilia Beryl Luoerg.

Changing her middle name to the name of her older sister, whom she loved so much, Cecilia went to the ceremony.

***

There was also a party in Dubblede. The party for Cecilia lasted 3 days.

I smiled as I looked at the colorful wreath that was delivered first among the wreaths.

“Where did it come from?”

I answered the chairman’s question as I tapped the petals with my fingertips.

“Empress Yvonne.”

“The empress? I thought she was very upset. You said that the emperor was very angry with her.”

“Of course he was very angry. He was threatened by Empress Yvonne. But would she miss this chance? The empress will not be able to hold back Cecilia, so she chose a different method instead.”

“I see.”

“Cecilia can’t do anything without Dubblede anyway. She thought if I was on her side, she would be able to keep Cecilia in check.”

“Congratulations. You have obtained two empresses on your side.”

I smiled and looked around the party hall.

There are so many guests here.

Dubblede was the wealthiest family on the continent after all.

We also have irie, the best knights on the continent.

And Vallua’s fleet.

Spinel owned exclusively by the hope mercenary guild, suwon, which will not decrease even in drought. A long-distance teleportation device that will be the basis of outstanding military power.

The child of fate who receives the affection of the imperial family is also there.

Everywhere I walked, nobles bowed their heads.

We are a step closer to our independence.

‘The first preparations are complete.’

I smiled at the nobles.

“Lady, long time no see.”

“You must’ve had a hard time because of the rumours. Those who criticized the lady stopped raising their heads for a while.”

“Lady, my son that was studying abroad had come home. Delphasa, come here.”

Just then,

The etwal in my pocket heated up, and Storas floated in the air.

[Stupid child, I’ll be back when your body recovers, but you brought me to where people are again.]

‘I know you will come out, punk!’

I clapped my hands.

As soon as I signaled, all the lights in the venue were turned off, and constellation-shaped lights installed outside the window shone brightly.

“Wow-!”

“Oh my, it’s beautiful!”

As soon as everyone’s eyes turned out the window, Pur came out and blocked Storas from approaching me.

‘I expected that you would target another gathering place.’

As expected, I was already prepared for his attack.

Sparks came out from Pur’s body as it attacked. In addition to the divine power I received from Adrian, Pur, who was fully charged with mana stones, smiled.

[… H-how did you!]

It meant how she could give her powers to one of the devils she summoned.

‘I learned from a cardinal. They’re useful in times like this.’

I learned from Cardinal Blasio how to control my divine power while Storas was away.

Of course, it was also thanks to the divine power training by the mage of Dubblede before. However, the training method developed by the temple over a thousand years was different from the mages of Dubblede

Also, the lessons I received from the temple in my previous life were actually just the surface.

[This devil-like human……!]

‘Thank you for the compliment.’

Then another thing prepared by Storas was revealed.

“Hey, what is that mushroom?”

“Mushrooms in the Dubblede’s garden?”

As people started talking, Taylor said.

“That’s meria grass.”

“The legendary herb? But that’s not grass…”

“Meria grass was named after the goddess Meria. It is a gift from God, which can be improved with the help of the child of fate to make antibiotics.”

It was the moment when the traces of Meria, which Storas wanted so much to erase, were revealed in the world.

[Damn bitch!!]

A loud voice echoed in my head.

Then Pur said.

[Stupid bastard, don’t you know how she is? She’ll go out of her way for revenge!]

It seemed like an insult but a compliment as well.

***

The party was ruined.

Me, my family, and the chairman stared at Storas in the form of an owl who was locked in a cage, in my dad’s office.

“Are you saying this owl caused all of that?”

“How dare a human being… !”

Storas yelled, and Isaac raised a branch with a vicious look on his face.

Isaac began to poke Storas with a stick, as Storas struggled. Pur, in the form of a deer, giggled as it watched Storas being tormented by Isaac.

“Bastard, I will not forgive you! The horrors of hell will destroy your blood, your flesh, and your soul… you evil, stop stabbing me! It hurts!”

The chairman shook his head at the sight.

“So what are you going to do, lady?”

“Huh? What?”

“How will you fulfill the devil’s wish? It won’t go back unless it’s taken to etwal. That means…….”

“I didn’t expect you to grant my wish in the first place.”

Storas said as everyone’s eyes went on it.

Storas stared at me with its bright yellow eyes.

“How much more do you plan to insult me? Things have gone so wrong, how could you not erase the traces of Meria!”

“Don’t worry, I can do it. When I publish this article, everything will be solved.”

I picked up a parchment with an article written by Seria.

The title is [The Truth of Goddess in Mythology, How a Witch Became a Goddess].

“Meria grass is not the true name. The right scientific name would be ‘Storas'”

“You…”

I said, while holding the cage.

“The myth was about Meria, a good pharmacist And her assistant, Lars.”

“…….”

“That’s you right?”

“…….”

“He was a man who loved Meria and gave her everything, but was eventually betrayed. Lars.”

“…….”

“You’re one of the pioneer right?”

Storas’ body glows and its cage was broken.

Storas in human form glared at me. However, he soon bowed his head.

“Tell me, Storas. God, Evil God, and devils. Tell me the whole story of this war that has been going on since ancient times.”

Storas, who had his head lowered, moistened his lips over and over again. Then a low voice came out of him.

***

[In ancient times, Gods and humans lived together.

Humans were at peace under God’s protection, but problems arose where God’s eyes could not reach.

This was the start of the story about 72 pioneers.

After hundreds of years of peace. Humans with wisdom learned greed and reigned over other humans.

God sent good people everywhere to make shelters for those who were victims of human greed and sent a language to humans to accuse the wicked.

This was the beginning of the temple.

The human world prospered after humans had wisdom and language.

When humans understood how to harvest crops, and learned how to survive by hunting and gathering in the winter, God rested.

And on that fateful day, the night was strangely dark and the weather was very cold.]
