Chapter 45
Translator and Editor: Bunny and Einna
My mouth was wide open as I stared at Wyndert blankly with confusion and shock.
Wyndert also seemed to be distressed. As the Grand Duke of the future, the people who were dying were also the people he would rule in the future.
How can that be? Its the imperial family. No matter how much they dislike us, the people of the Grand Duchys territory, theyre also their people!
I couldnt understand, I didnt want to understand, so I wrapped my arms around myself and trembled.
Somehow, it seemed that my body temperature had dropped in an instant.
Father is coming soon. He decided to come after deciding the punishment and taking care of it.
You must be busy.
Shushu, they have been trying to kidnap you for a long time, havent they? This wasnt the first time, right? You cant get used to it. Dont say such silly things from now on.
That Uh, she was the culprit I also called for you and dad so I thought nothing would happen.
All of it was calculated. I waved my small hands in denial as I protested.
However.
What if it was a magician who dared to try and kidnap you? What if she had already escaped with you before I had even arrived?
Wyndert, who was trying to say something, was cut-off by the angry voice of the Grand Duke.
When I turned my head, the Grand Duke was in front of the door with a vexed face.
Appa, thats not like that.
What if that person was so desperate and poured poison in your mouth? What if that person put a blade in your neck? What if you sustained injuries to your body?
Thats.
It wouldve been difficult for anyone to respond properly.
I had to admit that I was a little reckless.
But if I hadnt come forward, no one would have doubted Teacher Rima. I was just trying to save a lot of people!
But thanks to me, you got the information out, right?
For my young daughter to dig up that kind of information, no one expected that.
No one would expect that from a six-year-old. But what can I do about information that only I know?
If you were hurt or gone.
The Grand Dukes face instantly dimmed. It looked like he was in pain.
Seeing the look on his face, my heart broke down. I didnt want to see the Grand Duke upset.
I didnt just want to save the majority with my recklessness. I mostly just dont want you to suffer.
I dropped my head and nodded.
I was wrong.
It was for the sake of the Grand Duke, but he was saddened by my actions. It was a half-successful operation.
As I kept my head down, I felt a stinging gaze directed at the top of my head.
After a while, the Grand Duke whispered with a long sigh.
Come here.
As I lifted my head and looked at him, he had his arms opened wide.
I was wrong!
I hurriedly ran and he held me in his arms. As soon as he held me, I felt my eyes start to sting.
In order not to cry, I bit my lips and hugged the Grand Dukes neck, then I heard him sigh.
Why is she crying?
Shh.
Wyndert protested behind me, but the Grand Duke ignored him and patted me on the back.
Im not crying!
But your eyes are as red as a bunnys. (T/N: Is that me? Haha)
Wyndert didnt seem to believe my words much. Was my expression so messed up?
Appa. Theres no antidote, right?
Yes.
Then what should we do?
The Grand Duke didnt answer me. Even he seemed confused as to how to solve it.
Dad will take care of it. You must have been surprised, but you better rest.
But.
Do you want me to read a book for you? Or should we go for a walk?
The Grand Duke asked me with a friendly face.
Book. Im curious about the story behind Piaf, the smelling little pig. I glanced at the books neatly placed on the side table.
Wait, that little pig was looking for medicinal herbs by smelling around for them?
Piaf was a character who distinguished the herbs he had to look for with a variety of different scents.
Sweet, spicy, sour Finding it by differentiating as one of the worlds many distinct scents.
Teacher Rimas poison was characterized by its sweet scent.
So, if I happen to know where she put the poison, wouldnt it be possible to trace the poison based on its scent and keep it away from the villagers?
If it is difficult to track the poison, it should be separated out like sifting.
Wouldnt it be possible if I created the sieve with my spirit power?
I came up with a quick way to isolate the poison.
Sucking up the poison using a tube. Or creating a filter to separate the poison.
She had leftover poison for me. If you trace it as the medium.
Just as Piaf sniffed and traced things, I wonder if I can do it.
I havent learned anything about spirit power, but I was convinced that it would be possible somehow.
Until now, the spirit power has appeared as I thought and wanted.
I cant just carelessly smell it. Then it would stick to my body.
I took the poison bottle out of my sleeve pocket and looked at it.
If there is a way to safely wrap this poison up and drain it out of the body.
Shushu?
When I didnt move and stayed stiff, the Grand Duke shook my body, his face completely puzzled.
What are you looking at?
I bit my lips and was thinking of another way for the poison to be traced, but the Grand Duke held the bottle in his hand.
His large hand held the poison bottle and turned it around.
Ah !
In an instant, the poison bottle slipped out of my hand.
I opened my eyes and stared at the movement of my hand for a moment.
If I wrap it round like that?
As I moved my gaze blankly along the trajectory of the Grand Dukes hand, an idea somehow flashed into my mind.
After all, it would be easier to imagine that the shape is round.
Anyway, my spirit power is to make things from my imagination a reality, so it could be of any form as long as I focused and imagined in detail.
I was positive that the Grand Duke inspired me in that respect.
Now that I could visualize it, my chances of success would increase.
Please.
I quietly reached out my hand to get the poison bottle back from the Grand Duke.
What is this?
Its an important medium.
It was much easier to hold a pile of firewood and set it on fire rather than making a fire out of thin air.
Just as a painter draws inspiration from the muse when drawing, my spirit power was easier to activate with a specific inspiration and a medium.
The Grand Duke, who saw my serious eyes, shook the bottle and returned it to me.
Concentrate!
I grabbed the bottle of poison and imagined a bead in my head. A bead that penetrates only this poison and traps it.
First, the beads had to be small enough to be consumed.
I wish the marbles would trace the poison like Piaf.
Its just like Piaf sniffing and looking for medicinal herbs.
The next thing that came to my mind was the hand of the Grand Duke who was intercepting the poison bottle.
You wrap the poison in a circle like this and suck it in.
In the end, it will be discharged out of the body.
As my imagination changed concretely, I felt like my brain was being branded with a hot fire.
Ugh.!
When I opened my eyes after letting out a rough breath, I saw small beads that looked like soap bubbles.
The beads floating in the air felt very mysterious to me, even after picking them up and holding them in my hands.
I had made enough for the beads to be used by the villagers in several villages. As I felt overwhelmed by the floating beads still resting in the air, I was afraid they would fall down.
However, as I moved my arms slowly, I found that even those in my hands didnt fall or break apart.
Its small and bright.
They were very finely crafted small beads. The inside was empty to suck in poison. Because of that, they really looked like bubbles of soap.
I touched the transparent, brilliantly glowing beads with my fingertips. It was pretty hard and didnt seem likely to burst.
Did you use your spirit power?
Yes. Dad, please let me down.
I had to experiment to see if it worked out as I thought it would.
I opened the bottle of poison and poured it into the teacup I was drinking earlier.
It was indistinguishable from the tea as it was odorless and colorless.
But as I put the beads inside, I saw a clear liquid sucked into the bubbles.
What I put in the tea is poison. And thats also whats inside this marble now.
I put my finger inside the teacup and pulled out the marbles.
The inside of the bead was transparent. Not a drop of red tea was mixed in.
This.
The Grand Duke and Wyndert also stiffened their expressions and opened their eyes wide as if they knew the true meaning of what I had shown them.
You can feed this to people who have ingested it. Then it will suck out the poison inside their bodies.
As I imagined, it would suck the poison that had seeped all the way into the body and then discharge it out of the body later.
How is this.
A marble that can distinguish poison without an antidote.
Of course, this was made with a specific poison that I had in mind, so I could only distinguish that poison.
When I saw the results of the experiment functioned as I thought, I was instantly relieved. I felt drowsy after that.
Appa, oraboni I need a basket to hold these. Im a little sleepy now.
I bit my lips and tried to somehow open my closing eyes.
I realized a lot of things with a specific medium, and in an instant, my energy was depleted.
Shushu! Wyndy, bring the basket! Call Baden too!
As I was about to fall over by myself, the Grand Duke quickly caught my body. Awkwardly commanding Wyndert to call the doctor.
Appa, are you all okay now? It isnt difficult for you anymore?
I could barely open my eyes as I asked, and he just silently stared at me, not speaking. Then he sighed while stroking my cheek very carefully.
Thats right.
Re~ally?
Its not that big of a problem now so you dont have to worry.
Youre really okay. What a relief.
Slowly blinking, the Grand Dukes large hand covered my eyelids.
If youre tired, Ill take you to your bed.
However this.
I slowly pointed at the rest of the ungathered beads. I had to cultivate the beads.
Theyre floating in the air now, but I didnt know what would happen if I fell asleep.
If you wait a little, Wyndy will bring you a basket soon.
The Grand Dukes face, looking down at me, was distorted.
Fortunately, Wyndert returned right away. With Nina carrying a huge basket.
After that, I could see a lot of workers, but I couldnt think about that too deeply.
I released the marbles from the air like I was dropping them, and slowly my eyes closed, the darkness surrounded me.
