How to Get My Husband on My Side - Chapter 115

***

The noble family doctor gave a refreshing smile again.

 

He gave a very clear explanation.

 

But it looks like Izek’s great-grandfather had quite the exotic taste just like Izek to have bracelets made out of the heart of a dragon.

 

For what reason did they make and use this for?

 

I doubted they made it for jokes.

 

“Then this… Is it possible for it to activate on its own?”

 

“It’s rare, but it’s possible if you’re swept away by a particularly intense sacred clash. For example, a clash between purification and destruction, or a clash between carnage and shield…”

 

“Carnage?”

 

“Mass slaughter by the holy sword. It’s different from the usual holy swords because the swordsman has to be completely blind. Haven’t you seen it?”

 

Seen it…

 

The name was just as scary as the act, and if father-in-law hadn’t intervened at that time, Cesare would have been completely slaughtered.

That’s how much Izek was…

 

Anyway, it’s all thanks to this bracelet that I didn’t feel anything. Since I didn’t have any divinity to protect me while I was swept away by the carnage.

 

It perfectly blocked everything out.

 

“Thank you for explaining in detail. But there’s still something that’s not clear to me…”

 

“Ask me anything.”

 

“Why didn’t my family know anything about my own sacredness issue so far?”

Even Sergei figured it out quickly and guessed that I would be sick. But…

 

There was a high possibility that they pretended not to know, but I asked just in case.

 

But strangely enough, the noble doctor who had a face as if he were eagerly waiting to respond to my question, suddenly became silent.

 

“Mr. Sergei?”

 

Do you have multiple personalities that make you feel emotional all the time?

 

Sergei’s expression, sitting quietly staring at me for a long time, was really strange.

 

He looked angry and sad all of a sudden.

 

What was this? This awkward feeling that made me feel bad for him.

 

Why was he, who didn’t know anything about me, feeling saddened?

 

“What’s wrong…”

 

“Oh. I’m sorry. I’ll stop… Well, they may not have guessed at all. I can’t guarantee anything about your condition, but if you started showing symptoms after the age of 15, then your sacred core probably existed properly until then.”

 

It could have existed and then just disappeared?

 

Well, considering my special condition, it could have been possible.

 

The original Rudbeckia had the core, but I didn’t…

 

“It’s a very special situation because it’s rare not to be born with it, but if you got it checked when you were young, you wouldn’t have had to check it unless you were engaged in sexua acts.”

 

That sounded weird. The people from the Vatican didn’t find anything when they examined me?

 

In addition, I didn’t know what kind of condition Rudbeckia originally had.

 

However, in the novel, she had never been sick like me.

 

Since she had never been involved with the monsters either, I only guessed that it was a side effect that came from me entering someone else’s body.

 

With my suspicious expression, Sergei sighed in pity.

 

“I’m sorry my lady. I think… I think there must have been a reason for you being kept in the dark.”

“…….”

 

“My lady…. Even if they found such a defect, this wouldn’t be declared out loud. And they wouldn’t have known where it came from either.….”

 

This meant that if it was revealed that the princess of Romagna, the daughter of the Pope, had no divinity, it might have caused problems in marrying me off.

 

In addition, I was not the biological daughter of the Pope.

 

Even if others didn’t know that, they would still be suspicious.

 

If it was known that I didn’t have a core, it would just prove the biological thing true.

 

As expected, it was like that.

 

There was no way he didn’t know.

 

Even when he pretended to be so nice to me, he always asked if I was faking it whenever he came to check up on me.

 

It was so obvious that I was not particularly surprised.

 

So I wished this doctor would stop looking at me like that.

 

“It’s fine, I guessed it would be like this anyway. It’s just amazing that my brother didn’t say anything when he saw this bracelet.”

 

Sergeo became even more depressed even though I deliberately said it jokingly.

 

Oops.

 

“Maybe it was because he didn’t know what it was… Because this is the only thing that’s made of the dragon’s heart. If you’re a southerner, you can’t really tell or sense anything.”

 

What a sentimental tone.

 

Even after nodding, Sergei continued to talk with a sad face.

 

Eventually, I had to end the unexpected gloomy atmosphere by saying goodbye first.

 

This country was full of weird humans.

 

Anyway, now there were quite a few people who knew my secret.

 

Ellenia, father-in-law, Omerta’s knights, the King, the Knights of Longinus, the Royal Guard, the noble family doctor…….

 

Nevertheless, I was not very anxious or worried.

 

I didn’t know why.

 

Even though I didn’t become stronger or have any plans, I just felt indifferent. As if I liked it.

 

Since Izek and I are both alive, I felt like whatever happens from now on will be fine.

 

And my dragon cub, Popo, and Griffin were all safe too.

 

Though the Angvan Palace is all but a mess…

 

“Madam, the duke is here.”

 

I was sitting in a blanket, hugging my pillow, and quickly straightened myself.

 

Father-in-law, who came in slowly like a thief bandit, was somewhat awkward.

 

I was also a little awkward.

 

How can it not be awkward when I not only showed my secrets but also made so much trouble?

 

In such an awkward atmosphere, my father sat on the cute armchair next to my bed.

 

It looked very uncomfortable, but neither of us showed any signs.

 

Still, as soon as I opened my mouth to say hell, my father-in-law, who seemed to swallow a bit of a dry cough, spoke first.

 

“Your body…”

 

“It’s fine now. Thank you.”

 

“Oh, that’s a relief.”

 

And there was an awkward silence again.

 

Why was this scene so…

 

I couldn’t believe we were in this situation. I don’t know if I should call this development.

 

“Don’t worry for now.”

 

“Yes…”

 

“So, those mons… I mean, the friends you made when you ran away from home. You don’t have to worry about them for now.”

 

I almost gaped at him.

 

No, hearing the words ‘ran away from home’ from his mouth…

 

I didn’t run away from home back then!

 

“Ahaha, what do you mean by that?”

 

“Literally. His Majesty agreed, so for the time being…… I hope you will continue to maintain friendship with the Frost Dragon. Otherwise, it’ll misunderstand it on its own and try to kill my son, who’s just like me. I don’t know if it’s jealousy or what…”

 

“…….”

 

“The conclusion was that the reason for the dragon getting angry was probably because it couldn’t meet you. My son also agreed to stay with you, so you can do as you please.”

 

I was very curious about how my expression looked in his eyes right now.

 

I couldn’t control my wide-open eyes.

 

When my father-in-law glanced at my expression, he sighed a little, and his arm-crossed heavy upper body tilted a little to this side.

 

“There is no other intention, so don’t misunderstand. Although thanks to him, I have to pay for the reconstruction of the palace…”

 

“I’m ashamed of myself.”

 

“Why are you ashamed? He’s the one who broke everything to his heart’s content. You didn’t even do anything. That b*stard just rampaged around.”

 

“…….”

 

“However, while my son was barking, my daughter also mentioned Cardinal Valentino. More specifically, she said that he had made up the situation.”

 

A strong ruby-colored gaze similar to his children looked me in the eye.

 

Rather than searching or measuring, it felt like he was just looking.

 

“Just before the incident, I heard roughly from my children about the whole story of what happened in the mirror room. Don’t say anything to them, Furiana’s children are included in the witnesses too. If I have to cover up their mouths, I’ll have to step up. On top of that, my son beat up that kid.… Anyway, it’s no use raising a child if they don’t listen to you when you need them.”

 

“…….”

 

“The incident in the mirror room is also… No matter how or why the Omertas were insulted, he cannot openly cope with it even while considering your prestige and honour. I think you will understand that. At that time, I didn’t disturb my son because I didn’t like the man, but now I feel like I shouldn’t have. Of course, talking about it with you now won’t change anything either.”

 

“…….”

 

“If what happened there was an argument caused by Cardinal Valentino, then I’m sure the Pope will also grab him by the back of his neck. But considering various circumstances, I don’t think he knew about what Cardinal Valentino did to you. Is my guess right?”

 

My dazed head, which was staring down, moved up and down by itself.

 

It was a very accurate guess.

To me, The Pope and his eldest son are not so different from him, but the comparison was limited to tyranny.

 

He probably dismissed the obscene rumours as gossip since I was not his biological child, letting them go in one ear and out the other.

 

In addition, when Cesare asked me in the mirror room, he pretended that he would no longer live as my father’s puppet.
