“Escape?”

Isaac shouted, “Yes!” and ran wildly towards me.

“It’s been hours since she escaped!”

Henry asked as soon as Isaac was finished.

“What happened?”

“There was a gap in the security, and they didn’t let us know even though they knew Mina had escaped.”

“What?”

“Damn! She couldn’t escape properly with that body, so I knew she was probably around!”

“How can she use that body…”

I said in a low voice.

“In the morning I gave her etwal.”

“What?”

“Because she’s about to run out of breath.”

“Kid, that’s…!”

“I can’t kill a hostage.”

“Then you should’ve known. You gave her etwal, so you should’ve strengthened the security!”

“There might be temple spies here. Even in this mansion, I couldn’t let many people know Mina was here.”

“Then we would have been watching her. Is it because you’re looking for Neliard’s blood? Did you focus on that and act unlike usual? Really? Why did you make such a mistake…!”

When Isaac shouted, Henry blocked him with one arm.

“What has already happened can’t be helped. We have to deal with it first.”

“…….”

“I planted a man in the pope’s office. I’ll try to contact him, and he’ll lead the search. We should issue a first-class defense order on our territory.”

Henry and Isaac rushed out.

Dubblede’s people hoped Mina’s escape had failed, but no matter how much they searched, they could not find her.

At dawn, Henry contacted me.

It was said that Mina returned to the vatican.

This confirmed Mina’s escape.

My family sat together and discussed the future.

“They will definitely aim for Leblaine. What about Leblaine’s future?”

Dad, who was agonizing over Henry’s words, opened his mouth.

“Blaine should go back to the capital.”

Isaac frowned.

“You mean to put her in the front yard of the temple, the capital?”

“In the capital where the Imperial Palace is located, the temple couldn’t act recklessly. It’s safer than some far away land.”

As Isaac became quiet, Johann opened his mouth.

“What would you do with the territory? They can also take the people of the territory hostage and demand Leblaine.”

“Johann, protect the mansion.”

“Let’s put our oldest brother in the capital instead. There must be a lot he could do to help father.”

I was startled at Isaac’s words.

“No!”

“What if it’s an armed conflict? My older brother is strong, but his condition is still not well.….”

“No. He will go to the mansion.”

“Yes, Isaac. I’ll go there.”

Isaac stood up, clutching his scabbard.

“I’ll stay here. I’m the one who led the army training, and I’ve been leading it so far.”

Johann and I shouted.

“You can’t!”

“I should do it!”

Isaac gritted his teeth.

“Kid, can’t you trust me?”

“It’s not that I don’t believe you…”

“Have I ever disappointed you?”

“…….”

“I know you don’t trust me more than my brothers. Give me a chance to make up for it.”

He smiled faintly and ruffled my hair.

“Please.”

He added desperately.

Johann and Henry exchanged glances.

“Are you sure you can?”

“Don’t be stupid and run away if you can’t. Dubblede doesn’t need you to protect our honor, you need to protect yourself and our family.”

When Johann and Henry spoke in order, Isaac smiled and tore the teleportation scroll.

I sighed deeply after he disappeared.

Meanwhile, Henry mumbled, touching his chin.

“I need someone who can use their brain. Viscount Dunose has to lead the Irie, and my aunt has to crack down on the noble.”

Then my dad said,

“Let’s send Noanoke”.

“… The chairman?”

“Yes. He’s someone I trust.”

My brothers were surprised and looked at my dad.

More than 10 years have passed since the chairman vowed to be loyal to me. However, my father has never given him full authority.

The war with the chairman, which has been going on since childhood, was not completely forgotten in my father’s memory.

‘He really has changed a lot.’

In my first life, the Viscount Noanoke was buried alive by my father’s hand.

I can’t believe the day has come when both of them worked together.

I laughed and dad looked at me, confused.

“It’s a new feeling.”

I grinned.

‘Isaac should do well…’

***

A few days later.

‘Good job, you bastard!’

I was stunned to see Isaac, who returned in a bloody outfit.

“Did you run away?”

“Like a true Dubblede.”

“…Yes, it’s okay because you’re alive.”

As soon as I was shaking my head, Isaac grabbed my shoulder with a serious look.

“The chairman has been taken.”

“…… What?”

I stiffened at once and said,

“Explain the situation clearly.”

“The chairman was taken away to break through the gates in thirty minutes.”

“…….”

“It’s never a good habit to blame yourself.”

“Why are you criticizing me even though I am swept away by the storm, but I need to praise myself for not falling apart?”

“Lady.”

The chairman’s smile came to mind. I felt like my blood had become cold.

Isaac said.

“The one who took the chairman said please understand Mina’s feelings..….”

“What else?”

“…….”

“Isaac!”

“They’ll give you one last chance, so they told you to come to the altar alone.”

I immediately searched the table and took out the teleportation scroll. From behind, Isaac followed me with a pale face.

“Calm down, kid. Think wisely. At times like this…….”

“They can’t do anything to me. The cardinals chose Mina now because they thought I was fake, not because I was an enemy. How can they kill me when they don’t know who’s real?”

“I can’t send you like this.”

“Trust me.”

“…….”

“Just as I trusted Isaac, you need to trust me.”

The strength slipped out of Isaac’s hand.

When I tore the scroll, a dazzling light surrounded me.

The last thing I saw in the mansion was my dad, Johann, and Henry, who were just entering my room.

When I opened my eyes again, it was an altar.

The bloody altar.

It was all quiet around. On the altar, I could see Mina wearing a school uniform that she enjoyed wearing in her first life.

At the altar where I begged for help, the one who killed me is looking down at me once more.

“I’ll say thank you.”

Mina continued speaking in a low voice.

“For returning my etwal.”

“… Did you summon another devil? What about Amy?”

“It became a part of my etwal. The cardinals objected, but I cannot destroy Adrian’s precious one.”

“Destroy? Can you destroy the devil?”

“There are devils with that kind of power.”

There is only one devil with the power of annihilation.

‘… Was Agareth’s passage in the temple?’

I licked my dry lips and cursed inside.

“Congratulations. And to correct one thing, you forced Amy to your etwal.”

“Whatever it may be, it’s fine. Leblaine, I’ll give you a chance as your sister in our previous life.”

“Chance?”

“A chance to put everything back to place.”

Mina walked over to the podium.

“Give me back my father. Also my brothers and my lover.”

“You’re talented at saying nonsense.”

“……You were able to beat me because I didn’t have etwal. But it’s different now.”

“So?”

“I don’t want to see the three brothers get hurt, even more so to see them bleed. If you and I agree, this war can end.”

“Oh, so you want me to die again?”

Mina looked directly at me.

“That’s your role, Leblaine.”

“… Your role is to be a savior, right?”

“If you return my father, Chairman Noanoke will be fine. And if you die, there will be no more attacks.”

Three steps left to the podium.

Two steps left.

‘One more step.’

When she approached the podium.

Thud!

Something flew toward the altar.

“Ahh!”

Mina looked at the things that were thrown towards her. It was a rock. To be exact, someone threw the rocks.

The rocks flew nonstop.

Thud! Thud! Thud!

Mina hurriedly caught the etwal.

“Help… huh?”

Mina shook her etwal with a bewildered expression.

“What is it, what the hell…”

“There’s no need to lose strength. No matter what you do, you can’t do it.”

“What…….”

“You can’t use divine power.”

“No way!”

Why not?

As I was thinking about it, someone shouted.

“Th- the adventurer, the number of people, carried out!”

“Adventurer.”

“A lot of almonds.”

“A lot!”

Those people are the nymphs.

In other words, these rocks are from the mountains of nymphs.

The nymphs turned all these rocks into a suwon and blocked the use of mana.

The use of divine power is essential to summon power.

No matter how outstanding the devil she has, she can never call it out if she can’t use divine power.

Surprised, Mina looked around. Biting her lips tightly, she shouted.

“Holy knights!”

Those with bows appeared from the walls surrounding the altar. As soon as Mina’s mouth was about to go up, the archers with arrows collapsed like dominoes.

And what appeared…

“You have done your duty, lady.”

It was Zachary and other Dubblede’s Irie.

Mina was astonished to see them.

“No way…!”

I approached Mina. Whenever I narrowed our distance step by step, she stepped back.

When Mina was blocked by the wall, I pressed Mina’s shoulder with my fingertips and said.

“Reversal.”

“……!”

“Mina, even fools are not easily beaten twice, but you are easily beaten twice.”

“No way.”

“I freed you on purpose.”

“This…!”

“Did you enjoy acting as a hero?”

Just then, the communication device rang.

[We have secured the location of the real Trigon, lady.]

It was the voice of the chairman.

What this means is that Mina has been a part of my plan since she was released until now.

“Isaac knew nothing.”

“There’s a saying like this in the country you live in. If you want to deceive your enemy, deceive your allies first.”

“But it was the cardinal who came to save me.”

“You know that cardinal’s name?”

“… Stefano.”

‘He’s Emeline’s biological father.’

I grabbed Mina’s wrist and raised her. The gold and silver etwal around our neck shook with the sound.

‘Come, Neliard.’

In my mother’s body that inherited your blood!
