Chapter 211
TL: Zimmings
Marquis Shuheil convulsed. Leblaine hurriedly turned his head away from the mirror.
‘Oh my.’
Trigon, who was watching it, bit his lips on nervousness. This situation was never discussed.
‘There must be a problem.’
Even though Taylor Dubblede is a genius at medicine, he did not proceed with sufficient clinical trials after developing the drug.
‘When things were working out, damn it. She’s too hasty!’
Trigon hastily stopped the transmission. The magic mirror turned black, and anger erupted from every corner of the room.
“What’s happening! Check it out!”
“Did you see that poor man? We need to send someone right now! Lady Dubblede had killed the marquis!”
Shouts and screams were echoing in the room.
Shuheil’s vassals, nobles, and even the priests shouted loudly.
“That’s what I said. We shouldn’t be blinded by her title!”
“We entrusted the life of the marquis to the hands of a nine-year-old. Does that make sense?”
“Rather than a doctor! No, the priest…!”
“Marquess, what were you thinking!”
When the marquess trembled, Edgar gritted his teeth and shouted.
“Send someone right now!”
The servants and doctors rushed to the marquis’ room where healing was in progress.
Just as they were about to go inside, someone blocked them. It was Taylor Dubblede.
“The child of fate is healing the marquis.”
“We saw a problem through the magic mirror!”
“It’s a healing process.”
After a brief quarrel, the noble followed from behind.
It was the vassals, those who simply cannot overcome their curiosity, and those who wished for Dubblede downfall.
The eyes of those who had gathered were full of distrust towards Leblaine.
“Open the door!”
The noble scolded Taylor with a look of disgust.
“What was the Duke of Dubblede thinking in allowing a nine-year-old child to heal him?”
“It’s obvious. He must’ve wanted people to acknowledge that his daughter has divine powers.”
“Even though they are greedy people, they shouldn’t think about playing with people’s lives. It’s terrible.”
The marquess came running late with a trembling body.
“Husband… What happened to my husband…”
Then, Shuheil’s vassals were furious and pushed the Marquis’ wife.
“It’s because the marquess rely on that child of fate!”
“I…”
The marquedd, with a pale face, bit her lips.
Edgar saw his mother shut her mouth, unable to even speak a word, and shouted to the vassal.
“Don’t blame my mother! Isn’t it something we all agreed on to be helped by the child of fate?”
A riot broke out in front of the marquis’ room.
The marquess, clutching her skirt tightly, quietly approached the door.
Knock, knock.
After a few knocks, she opened her mouth.
“Can I keep trusting the lady?”
[…….]
No answer came back. The marquess gulped
If it was a normal situation, she coould not completely trust a child who was only nine years old.
It was such a desperate situation that she had no choice but to lean on that little child.
Her son was young, and he did not have the strength to protect her.
Her husband was a skeptical person. He always monopolized the power.
That meant that there was nothing to protect her after her husband’s death.
Even though she had devoted herself to the family, she was only a weak mother who had no power to protect her son.
The vassals tried to usurp her husband’s power, and she needed time.
Her husband has to live. He needed to let his son grow up just one year older.
All she could do was pray.
At that moment, a small voice came through the crack of the door.
[If the marquess believe in me…]
“…….”
[If you believe me, I will repay your faith.]
“…….”
Shouting erupted all around.
“Bring out the Dubblede girl now!”
“His life is at stake.”
“Marquess”
“……Stop!!”
The marquess roared.
People who were startled by her looked at her with their eyes wide open.
The marquess turned her back on the door and looked around.
“Guests, please return to the room.”
“What……!”
“I have chose the lady. I take responsibility.”
“…….”
“I am the master of the mansion when my husband is not present.”
The vassals opened their mouths to say something, but the marquess spoke in a low voice.
“If you say one more word, you will experience my wrath, you’ll see how far I can go to protect my family.”
In the end, none of vassals were able to speak out. Edgar alled her and took her hand.
However, her hand was surprisingly not shaking.
The vassals turned around one by one and the nobles who were observing the situation raised their communication device one by one to call the servants.
“I’ll stop doing business with Shuheil.”
“Recover the investment we put in Dubblede.”
“I need to see Duke Marche right now.”
There was tension in the place.
***
I left the marquis room with a tired face.
When I left the room, no one was there, because the marquess was guarding the door.
“How was it?”
“…….”
As I looked at her with a puzzled look, the marquess and Edgar ran into the room with pale faces.
At the end of the hallway, people were swarming. The one who pushed them out was a familiar face.
It was the chairman, Henry, and Isaac.
Henry and Isaav stopped the others from approaching me and hurriedly dragged me out of the mansion.
A dubblede carriage was waiting right in front of shuheil’s mansion.
The chairman and Taylor came in first, then Henry and Isaac quickly picked me up.
“Let’s hurry back to the mansion. Father is waiting for you.”
“Yes…”
“You are still young. No matter what you do, we are responsible for it.”
Henry’s expression hardened. Isaac smiled and patted me on the back.
“I told them to prepare a bunch of snacks. You should fill your stomach and sleep soundly. On a day like today, you can skip brushing your teeth at least once!”
Isaac clasped my hand and continued.
“Kid. You’re not a bad kid. They are the one who created this situation.”
And the door was closed.
The chairman, who sat in front me, asked.
“What happened?”
I said with a smile.
“It went well.”
Then Henry, Isaac and the chairman looked at me with bewildered expressions.
“What?”
“Huh?”
“Pardon?”
When I saw the nobled gathered outside the window, I quickly closed the curtains and said, “Shh! Shh!” I put my index finger to my lips.
“Don’t let anyone hear it. We have to pretend to be more serious to spread the word.”
The chairman asked with a puzzled expression.
“So this is…”
“Bad rumors circulate faster than good rumors, right? Everyone thought of the worst, then tada!”
“Oh…”
The chairman rubbed his forehead in amazement.
“You mean it was all a show?”
“It’s directing. Production.”
“I was so surprised!”
The chairman shouted, and I shrugged.
“But that way I won’t be called a fake anymore. I accomplished a miracle that even a temple could not do. There are many people all over the world who was on the verge of dying, right? Then everyone will find me.”
“So?”
“It is true that I performed miracles, but people insult me because they misunderstand me. Then what will happen? They would think of me as a poor child, who was traumatized by being treated so.”
“How did the lady think of that?”
“The bleeding was something I hadn’t even thought of. It was only after bleeding that my uncle told me. But after panicking, we can turn the situation around quite a bit, right?”
I am not a child of fate with real healing powers.
There is no such thing as the power to really save people like Mina.
It was Taylor’s medicine.
“Again, this opportunity could be advantageous for us. Look, there’s already been a lot of uproar.”
Then Isaac said to Henry with a puzzled face.
“… Was the kid a genius?”
“You did not know?”
Henry smiled and patted my hair.
I smiled pleasantly.

On the pope’s Office, 5he hastily gathered cardinals sat around the round table and shouted loudly.
“Here’s our chance! Now is our chance to have the child of fate in our hands!”
The fish were fluttering excitedly, unaware that they were caught on Leblaine’s hook.
