I’m the Main Character’s Child

“Are you crying?”

I felt hot on my face. Cardin put his face closer to check on me.

“No!”

“Ugh!”

“Gasp. Papa!”

While struggling to avoid Cardin’s face, a mishap occurred in which my hard forehead collided with Cardin’s sleek nose.

Is it because I was struggling more than usual, or is it because Cardin was more defenseless than usual? The impact of the collision eventually made me see blood.

Not mine, but Cardin’s.

“Nose, nosebleed……”

In an instant, a ray of red blood was flowing from his vulnerable nose.

Cardin touched his nose and wiped the blood.

He looked at the blood and muttered something. Amazingly enough, the blood disappeared without a trace in an instant.

I sat quietly on Cardin’s lap and looked into his eyes.

Cardin stared at me silently.

“I’m sorry…”

I put my hands together while apologizing so that I can show my regret as best as possible.

When Cardin stared at me like that, he said in a proud voice.

“I’m not going to get beaten anywhere.”

Cardin lifted me up and gently put me on the floor.

“It’s time for lunch.”

At the end of that, Cardin got up from his chair and headed to the door. Looking back, I saw Cardin opening the door and waiting for me.

“If you don’t come, I’ll leave you alone.”

His words are still harsh, but it contains a depth of emotion than before.

“No, let’s go together. Papa!”

I ran to Cardin, who was waiting for me.

***

As Cardin said, the invitation letter arrived from the magic tower on the second day after Teto returned to the magic tower.

The contents of the invitation were simple.

It contained courteous content asking me to visit the tower to accurately measure my mana.

Surprisingly, the sender was the owner of the magic tower. I don’t know who the Tower master is now, but I was nervous for no reason.

And now, Cardin and I were on our way to the Magic tower in a running carriage.

“Oh, it’s the imperial palace!”

At the end of the window, I could see the magnificent golden head in the shape of a dome.

As I remember the first emperor Heizek and Fade, who was the lord of the tower, said that the imperial palace and the magic tower were the things that they put the most effort into building.

Befitting the opening of a new era, the existing blue palace was demolished and a new palace was built with the same brilliant gold light as the emperor’s color.

On the contrary, the Magic tower was built in dark color without a single piece of light, following the color of the fade, which was the first tower master.

I carefully guess the reason why the magic tower exists in the Imperial Palace is similar to that.

How close would the two have been to build the tower in the imperial palace like this?

Soon, the main gate of the imperial palace began to be seen.

The guards opened the door without checking who’s inside after they saw the insignia of the Duke of Bardion engraved on the carriage.

As expected, power is the best.

“Wow, it’s really dark.”

Located in a corner in the west direction of the imperial palace, the tower consists of dense forests in the vicinity.

What else does it look like? The tall tower rising above the sky was the opposite of the splendid golden-colored imperial palace, but boasted a different style.

Somehow, it looked lonely as it was far away alone.

For a moment, I remembered Fay, whom I had decided to be friends with a few days ago. Fay also had black hair, so as soon as I saw the black magic tower, he immediately came to mind.

‘I said I’d visit him, but I wasn’t able to visit until now.’

By the time I thought I should stop by the Imperial Palace Library, the carriage stopped moving.

“We’ve arrived.”

I woke up to Cardin’s voice and looked around, and before I knew it, Cardin got off the carriage and was staring at me sitting far away.

“……”

I looked at Cardin the same way as he looked at me.

Cardin’s long arms slipped into the carriage. He held me up like a light luggage.

“Papa. Take me out gently.”

“You’re exaggerating.”

He still speaks mean things with his mouth, but I felt that his hands that was holding me became more careful.

As the days went by, Cardin’s behavior was noticeably softening.

Cardin hugged me as I was and took a step inside the horse tower.

“Wow….”

The inside of the magic tower was so amazing.

Huge rhombus-shaped stones floating everywhere caught my eye first.

The stones were floating in the air, gently emitting different lights.

It was a fascinating sight to see how those huge stones floated up there.

The next thing that caught my eye was the numerous doors that existed on each floor.

Various doors were lined up along the shape of the round oval interior.

Looking up, the endless existence of doors made the atmosphere of the tower even more mysterious.

“Papa. It’s very interesting here.”

Cardin’s hand supported my body that almost fell backwards while looking around with my head tilted to the fullest.

“If you touch anything here you will have to live in this place for the rest of your life.”

“Gasp…. Really?”

“Yeah. They don’t have the snacks that you eat every day.”

“…..”

No way. That was too much for a child’ even though I’m not an ordinary six-year-old kid.

“That’s scary.”

I copied Cardin’s mischievous smile; his eyes changed as if it was something he didn’t like.

“…Tsk, I can’t do anything in front of my child.”

“I just copied Papa. It was the same.”

“Don’t do it. It wasn’t the same at all.”

“I got it, I got it.”

Ignoring Cardin, who suddenly had a serious look on his face, I calmly rested my chin on his shoulder and continued looking around.

‘Since it’s the ‘Magic tower’, teacher Teto must be here, right?’

“It’s the Duke of Bardion.”

“Oh, my. I didn’t expect to see him with my own eyes”.

“Is the child in his arms…”

I was making a plan in my head, but the sound in my ears got louder and louder and eventually woke up my thoughts.

‘There are so many people over there?’

People wearing thick and gloomy robes were looking this way.

‘Wow, you don’t have a good sense.’

I don’t know who designed it, but it was like a group of dark and lumpy robes.

They seemed to buzz out of each other and talk about Cardin. As soon as the hot gazes were about to become uncomfortable, a familiar voice came in.

“D, Duke. Princess! Welcome.”

“Teacher Teto!”

It was really nice to see a familiar face that squeezed through a group of black people.

I waved my hand energetically to express my welcome. When Teto saw me like that, he raised his arm and waved.

I was wondering when I would not be able to see the illusion of the trembling rabbit on his back. Will that day ever come?

Unfortunately, however, my intuition was telling me.

That it’s something I would see for a long time. Poor Teto teacher…..

After teacher Teto approached, the noise around us gradually grew louder.

In a flash the rumor about the Duke of Bardion spread toward the arrival of Teto, who greeted us in a friendly manner.

Was this how celebrities felt in my previous lives?

Dozens of eyes were all facing this way.

The emotions contained in those eyes were also diverse.

Curiosity, desire, jealousy, awe, ecstasy…

As soon as the eyes were about to become uncomfortable, Cardin frowned and opened his.

“It’s noisy. I can make you live quietly forever.”

“Gasp”

The inside of the tower became as quiet as a mouse. The only thing that was heard was the hiccup of one person.

The burdensome gazes disappeared at once.

When I lifted my face buried on Cardin’s shoulder and looked around, everyone desperately turned their heads and stood in an unnatural position.

The mannequins were even more natural than those people.

‘Oh, there was a pitiful mannequin here, too.’

Teto, who has now become completely pale next to Cardin and me, was shaking.

His appearance made me sad.

Teto took off his glasses for the first time.

Looking at his bare face, I understand why I kept seeing the illusion of rabbits.

His gently lowered eyes matched his pale skin very well.

“Argh!”

“……..What are you doing?”

I hit my head a few times to get rid of the bad thoughts that were filling up.

‘I’m sorry, teacher Teto.’

It’s all because of me who’s worn out in my past life.

After finishing the apology that I could not hand over directly, I smiled at Cardin, who looked at me with a puzzled look.

“I’m training my mind.”

“Where did you learn that?”

Oh, it’s the original version. Cardin smiled at me saying it was ridiculous. Obviously, no matter how hard I try, I can’t really win.

“Papa, you’re the best!”

With a big smile, I hugged Cardin and spoke words of flattery.

Cardin shrugged slightly without even knowing why I was praising him. Somehow, seeing him look good, I also felt better.

“We’re going up now,”

Cardin hugged me and headed to the place where there were numerous doors. Teacher Teto closely followed behind Cardin.

“You might feel a little dizzy.”

“Huh?”

Oh my. Dizzy? Suddenly, I felt like my body was being sucked into somewhere, and when I came to my senses, the surrounding environment had already changed.
