I’m the Main Character’s Child

The next morning.

Today Teacher Teto is visiting the duchy. I stepped into the room where Teacher Teto was waiting.

“Teacher Teto! Yes? What, Papa?”

When I entered the room, the first thing I saw was Cardin then Teacher Teto sitting awkwardly next to him. I guess he was going to observe the class again today.

“Oh, hello, princess.”

Teacher Teto greeted me in a more quivering voice than usual. I could see his mouth shaking.

“Yes, hello…….”

As I approached Cardin and Teacher Teto, I noticed someone else sitting in the room. I couldn’t tell who it was because the person was covered with a long robe.

Soon, the robe slipped off and a platinum-blond hair caught my eye.

“Hello, princess! It’s so nice to see you again. From today, I will participate in the princess class. Hahaha.”

Nelvasto, whom I thought I would not see for a while, smiled brightly and declared a bombshell.

“Uncle Nell?”

“Haha. Yes.”

A senior wizard at the tower, the Pope of the Temple, and Cardin.

I never thought I’d see a combination of these three together.

“……Uncle?”

At that time, Cardin, who was sitting still, asked back grimly, bending his eyebrows. When I told Cardin that I decided to call Nelvasto ‘uncle’ yesterday, Cardin clicked his tongue and said, 

“Call him teacher from now on.”

He strongly corrected the title ‘Uncle Nell’ as if he didn’t like it. Nelvasto shrugged his shoulders and said, “You can call me teacher now that I will be teaching you.”

“Then, Teacher Nell.”

“Yes, I look forward to your kind cooperation. You can call me uncle when your dad is away.”

Nelvasto said, reaching out his hand. It was a very bold attitude even though Cardin was watching right next to him.

I shook Nelvasto’s hands up and down.

“How did you come here?”

Until yesterday, they were definitely walking on ice, giving off a dangerous atmosphere.

“Well, we had some serious conversation.”

I guess it didn’t end like that yesterday. Cardin, who puts me first, probably didn’t accept Nelvasto with an easy mind.

“You’re the magic teacher of the princess, aren’t you? I’ve heard the story roughly. You worked hard.”

Nelvasto said, pointing to Teacher Teto, who was stiff.

“T, thank you.”

Teacher Teto, who was praised by Nelvasto, was at a loss, but soon bowed his head and greeted him quietly. For Teto, who likes being alone, this situation seemed to be very hard work.

“Shall we get down to business now? Princess, can you give me your hand for a second?”

Nelvasto said he would look at how the system of power in my body is organized.

I held Nelvasto’s hand.

Soon, I felt a foreign force coming into my body. It was a similar feeling to the last time Teacher Teto examined my body with mana.

“………that’s amazing. This is equivalent to a senior priest. At this age, you have this kind of holy power, and at the same time, you have mana in you…….”

Nelvasto did not hide his surprise, saying that it was right to keep it a secret.

“I heard from the duke. You’re having a hard time learning to use formula magic?” 

“Yes, Teacher Teto said it was probably because of my holy powers.”

“The holy power of the princess is deep asleep in your body. First of all, we need to wake it up.”

“How?”

Nelvasto grinned and said to believe in him. Every time, his imposing attitude is surprising.

“From now on, my holy power will go into your body and move around. You can grab it and pull it.”

Nelvasto’s hand slightly tightened the grip on my hand. As before, a foreign force came into my body.

“Close your eyes and concentrate.”

I could feel something different from mana moving around.

“Catch it and pull it out?”

I closed my eyes and chased the force that moved in my body. I don’t think it was like this when I first pulled out my mana.

I concentrated my whole mind to bring out the different forces from my body. How long has it been? As I concentrated, I could fully feel the holy power going around my body.

Is it okay to take it out when I am using magic power?

I felt something different coming out of my body to catch the wandering holy power. Then I succeeded in bringing it out together.

“…….”

I slowly opened my eyes in the strange silence. I’m sure I got it right… ….

“Huh? Wow…”

I succeeded.

As soon as I opened my eyes, what I saw was a light purple holy power enveloped a white holy power.

“This is Raina’s…….”

Nelvasto, who was mesmerized by the holy power floating in the air, suddenly came to his senses.

“I knew you’d do a good job! You’ve succeeded. It has the same color as your hair.”

Nelvasto said, looking at the light purple holy power.

“It’s amazing that both mana and holy power exist at the same time, and you inherited all your parents’ colors. Haha.”

Nelvasto’s voice was filled with longing.

“My holy power… Is it similar to my mom?”

“Yes, to be exact, it’s the same color. Raina used the same light purple power as you.”

Cardin’s black magic. Raina’s light purple power.

“Raina… Mom.”

It’s a word that I wasn’t able to say in my previous life, so I murmured a little. It is said that I inherited both powers equally as if to prove that I am really their child.

I’ve only heard that I have holy power, but it felt strange to see it in person like this.

While I was looking at the light purple power that’s flowing according to my will, I suddenly remembered the formula magic that kept failing.

Can I succeed now?

I recalled the formula I memorized last time in my head and pulled up both magic and holy power at the same time. As the power escaped my body, small drops of water sprang up everywhere.

“Wow, I succeeded!”

Like Teacher Teto said, the problem is my holy power that’s why I wasn’t able to succeed in formula magic so far.

“It’s a magic mixed with holy power……. I never thought I’d see this magic in my life.”

Nelvasto murmured, touching the drops of water. Cardin and Teacher Teto were also watching the floating droplets.

“Power is power, but you are talented, too. There’s a lot of things I need to teach you in the future.”

Nelvasto rose from his seat and spoke.

“That’s all for me! Next time, I’ll teach you how to use your holy power properly. I’m sad, but I’m out of time today, so I have to go.”

Nelvasto stood up from his seat, with drooping eyebrows. The Pope, Nelvasto, cannot leave the temple empty for a long time.

“Then, I’ll see you later, princess.”

Also, it would be difficult if people find out that he was going to the Duke of Bardion, so he pressed the robe deeply and hid himself.

“You’re amazing. Princess!”

When Nelvasto went out, Teto, who looked much better, praised me.

I moved the droplets freely at Teacher Teto’s request.

“What do you think?”

“Hahaha. You are now able to completely control your power.”

I smiled proudly at the drops of water on Cardin’s head that formed like a hat.

Finally, I can use formula magic!

The worries that I might end up controlling only magic power for the rest of my life are now gone.

“Haha… I’ll see you in the next class, too. Princess.”

Teacher Teto got up from his seat with a quick movement.

Since I succeeded in formula magic, he now returned to the magic tower, saying he would prepare for the next class accordingly.

Now there’s only me and Cardin left in the room.

“Papa glasses. Hehe.”

I moved the droplets and put glasses on Cardin.

I don’t know if Cardin will suit the funny bubble glasses, but he pulled them off nicely.

“Grandpa mustache.”

This time, I made a long beard that stretched below his chin.

“Why does it look good on you?”

Again, Cardin perfectly suited a grandfather’s beard. Cardin, who had quietly let me do what I was doing, clicked his finger.

“Argh!”

The water droplets around my stomach quickly wound around my hair and formed a huge horn shape.

“What’s this!”

Looking at the huge triangular head sticking up, I protested against Cardin.

“It looks good on you.”

Cardin smirked with his grandfather’s beard. Somehow, I felt like he was laughing at myself. I tried to build up my strength and make more water droplets, but my body lost strength first.

“Ugh…! I’m tired.”

I leaned on the sofa as if I were lying down.

“Emeliette.”

Cardin whispered my name.

“Why, Papa?”

I looked at Cardin with my eyes wide open, he had a very heavy expression.

“…… Aren’t you curious about your mother who used the same holy power as you?”

Cardin hesitated for a moment to take out the word mother.

“Uh… Yes, I’m curious…….”

I nodded cautiously.

What led Cardin to bring up Raina’s story himself? 

Cardin got up from his seat and carried me and left the room. The place we arrived at was Cardin’s bedroom, which I had been to last time. Cardin entered the room and stood in front of the first portrait first and spoke.

“I don’t know why you have the same magic power as me, and also the same holy power as Raina…… I think I know what she would have said at this time.”

“What would she say?”

“Two would be twice as good.”

Cardin looked at Raina’s portrait and laughed aloud.

“I’m sure she would say that.”

Raina, who stayed in Cardin’s memory, was a much clearer and more cheerful person.

Having already read it in the novel, I knew Raina’s bright side, but Raina, who Cardin told me directly, came much bigger.

“Yes, two is better than one!”

I laughed louder at Cardin’s words. Cardin, who looked down at me for a while, also smiled a little around. Cardin opened a small drawer under the portrait.

What came out was a thin bracelet.

“It’s what your…..mom always wore. It’s like a talisman to protect her body.”

Cardin put the bracelet on my wrist.

“If you were someone with holy power, she asked me to give you this bracelet.”

“Mom…did?”

“Yes.”

Cardin looked at the bracelet and said,

“The bracelet has holy power, so when a holder of holy power wears it, it brings peace of mind. Half of you is a holy power holder, so it’s right to give it to you.”

I raised my hand and looked at the bracelet. I loved the neat workmanship.

“Hehe. I like it.”

I waved the bracelet on my wrist in front of Cardin.

“Keep it safe.”

“Yes!”

Only then did Cardin give his usual comfortable smile.
