Chapter 301: Chapter 301

TL: Zimmings

“I can’t give you an answer.”

“Gremory is the devil under Neliard..….”

“…….”

When I lowered my head, she said,

“I can only ask a question.”

“What?”

“Why were you born as a child of Lisette, and have lived again for a long time from ancient times until now?”

“…….”

“If you’re smart, you’ll find the answer.”

At that time, the appearance of Gremory became transparent.

“See you again later.”

She smiled sadly and mumbled.

I shouted “Gremory!” but she disappeared.

As soon as Gremory disappeared, the door suddenly opened as my family and Taylor came in. It seemed like they heard me shouting.

Isaac, who ran first, grabbed me.

“Kid.”

As soon as he was about to ask if I’m okay, Taylor came between us.

“The doctor will check her, so step back.”

The whole time Taylor looked at me, my family was noisy.

“Little sister, are you okay?”

“Leblaine, did you meet Gremory?”

“What happened in Calosi? Tell me more about it, kid.”

“Don’t distract her and ask her one by one. Dahlia, please go and get some water.”

In the meantime, I organized my thoughts.

Devil’s blood.

A family with summoners.

And Neliard.

Then, I saw someone through the open door.

‘Grimoire’s predecessor.’

And next to him was the Duke of Grimoire.

The predecessor, which had been hesitating for a while, carefully entered the door.

“… Are you okay?”

“…….”

Coming to me, he slowly put his hand on my shoulder.

It was the first time I’ve seen him this close.

“I’ve checked with Duke Dubblede. Leblaine could use a life contract that is in the record of the first lord. And…”

“Yes, how could I not know? The eyes of the child I saw in the portrait were so similar.”

From the conversation he had with the Duke of Grimoire in Calosi, I felt that my guess was true.

So, he’s my…….

“Are you my grandfather?”

When I asked, he gulped.

“Our grandfather, right?”

“…… Yes.”

“…….”

“Yes, Leblaine.”

“…….”

Taylor retreated quietly, and my family looked at Grimoire’s predecessor.

“Why didn’t you come to see us?”

“…….”

“I think you know we are the children of Lisette.”

Holding my hand very carefully, he said nothing. As if he was ashamed, as if he was a sinner.

There was an awkward atmosphere between him and my brothers.

Looking at his trembling hands, I said.

“Johann can’t sleep well. If he sleeps for another hour, he thinks his younger siblings will suffer because of him. He seems like a fool, but he’s not a fool, he has a strong responsibility.”

The predecessor looked at Johann, and Johamm was startled.

“Little sister…”

I looked at my grandfather without answering Johann’s words.

“Henry’s specialty is threatening and tax evasion is his hobby. He was afraid of old people because of Dubblede’s predecessor. Isaac looks violent, but he’s actually the most affectionate person.”

Henry and Isaac also flinched.

I laughed when I saw them.

“And my dad, he loved my mom a lot. Very, very much.”

“…….”

“The reason I’m telling you this is because they are precious to me.”

“…….”

“I wish I had at least one more person whom my brothers and I could love with peace of mind.”

“…Leblaine.”

I tapped my grandfather’s chest.

“I’m not saying I’ll forgive you… It’s not like that! It’s because my brothers are so precious to me!”

He hugged me tightly.

“I’m sorry. I’m sorry.”

“Why did you come so late? Do you know how much my brothers and I needed a grandfather!”

“Yes, I’m a sinner. I misunderstood your father and did something I couldn’t do to you.”

“Dad is a good person.”

“Yes.”

My grandfather, who swept my tangled hair over, smiled slightly.

[Your mother?]

[Yes. What kind of person was my mother?]

[Someone who doesn’t know how to cry. When she was in pain, she laughed instead of crying.]

I couldn’t hate Grimoire’s predecessor.

My heart aches whenever I see a side that resembles my mother.

I bit my lips, and my grandfather stroked my cheek with his big hand.

“I swear. I will give the rest of my life to you guys.”

“…….”

“As long as I live, everything that stands in your way will not survive.”

So he swore over and over again.

Henry and Isaac spoke as if they couldn’t help it.

“Should I call you grandfather? I hope there will be at least one more person who the kid can love freely.”

“Do as you wish.”

Johann smiled faintly.

My grandfather looked at me with a friendly face..….

‘Huh?’

On his face, a blonde woman from ancient times overlapped.

“Why were you born as a child of Lisette, and have lived again for a long time from ancient times until now?”

‘The reason why I was born as my mother’s daughter, Grimoire’s blood…!’

I quickly grabbed my grandfather’s sleeve.

“Are there any summoners in the Grimoire family?”

“Summoner?”

“A devil summoner.”

Grandfather and Duke Grimoire exchanged gazes.

The Duke of Grimoire shook his head.

“There’s no summoner or anything. However, there is a jewel left by our ancestors. I heard from the Duke of Dubblede that you call it a passage.”

He took an emerald the size of a child’s fist out.

Pang-!

As soon as I saw it, I felt a strange feeling in my heart.

“Leblaine!”

Johann and Henry rushed to me quickly.

“What’s wrong?”

“Are you okay?”

I could tell at a glance. The fact that the devil with that passage must have had tremendous power.

‘Emerald. Who is the devil who had emerald as a passage?’

I kept my mouth shut as I tried to recall it.

“Baal…….”

The Duke of Grimoire said.

“Yes, the first ruler of the family, who founded the family with the power of the devil said that we will have a child with a seal in the family, and asked to pass it on to the child.”

“Show me the records!”

“What?”

“A record from the ancestors! I’ll have to look!”

Perhaps I can find the one who succeeded Neliard’s blood.

***

The duke, who came to see the records from the library of Grimoire, muttered as if he was terrified.

“I can’t believe I leaked the family’s documents, for Dubblede too.”

My grandfather, who was looking at records with me, said,

“Don’t bother standing there, go or help, just do something.”

“The man who used to be the head of Grimoire has no sense of responsibility. I’ve known about it since I found out about the illegitimate child.”

Just as he was grumbling, I said while holding the diary of the first head of Grimoire.

“Please interpret it. Here, here. This letter is the devil, right?”

My grandfather, who was glaring at the Duke of Grimoire, looked to where I was pointing.

All of Grimoire’s documents were written in secret language that was only passed on to the heads of the dukedom, so the help of the grandfather and the duke was essential.

My grandfather read the diary with a pleased look as if he were looking at his granddaughter whining, “Okay, okay.”

[On a rainy day, I remember the devil who left three years ago. A man with golden hair appeared in front of me while I was dying by the arrows of the enemy before the country was founded.

He saved me with a mysterious drug, and returned me to a camp more than 2,000 km away with a special power that I had never seen before.

Having survived, I was able to destroy the enemy with the help of the devil.

Perhaps it was all thanks to the devil of prophecy that the empire was able to stand on this land]

‘He didn’t summon him, but he appeared?’

I was surprised and covered my mouth.

Grandfather continued to read the diary.

[The devil rarely told his own story. He said he was a traveler. He’s traveling through eternity to find a child and to end this war.

At the time, I thought it was a story about the war we are facing, but now that I think about it, it was another war.]

‘War… is he talking about the war between Serga and Neliard?’

[The devil predicted that the child of the vow would be born with my blood, and told me the secret record for the descendants to be born someday]

“Secret? A secret?”

When I asked, the Duke of Grimoire and my grandfather spoke in a strange tone.

“Have you never heard of the devil’s record?”

“Yes. Did it disappear over time?”

“No way. The records were kept strictly. Don’t we have all the notes and hobby materials left?”

‘Hobby material?’

I asked the Duke of Grymore.

“Hobby material?”

“From ancient times to modern languages, native languages and foreign languages. Our ancestors collected transcriptions of all languages as a hobby. But we can’t interpret it.”

“May I see it?”

Duke Grimoire brought me some books that smelled like mold.

It was a book that collected all the characters existing in the world, from imperial to Caltonian.

“What else is this?”

Isaac looked at a page and giggled.

“I’ve never seen a language like this before. Is it a native language? It looks like a human being spreading his arms and legs, and it looks like its wearing a hat.”

“Hangul…”

“What?”

“…The language of Chul-soo’s world.”

“The devil? Did he live in the same world as Mina?”

“Yes, it’s clear. This is Korean that Cheolsu taught me!”

The year before, I learned it from him for fun, and Hangul was an easy language to learn. It’s enough to learn the language in a year.

I looked through the sentences written in Korean.

“God’s blood. Are you looking for it?”

What?
