I Adopted A Villainous Dad - Chapter 6

“Your name?”

“Yes!”

Melkiade took me to the drawing room, as if the story was going to be prolonged. There is a strawberry cake in front of me.

It looks delicious!

While eating hard, Melkiade asked back in a ridiculous tone.

“Why do you need a name?”

It is my spokesman Luciana, who answered Melkiade’s question.

“There is a ceremony to put your name on the god’s enemy, meaning that you will return to the arms of God before you leave the church following His Majesty Melkiade.” I’d like you to give me the name of your choice, I want you to give me a name.

I shook my head violently in agreement.

“Isn’t there originally a name?’

I just laughed.

“Well, it’s…”

Luciana shut her mouth with a troubled look. Is that what you’re reluctant to say?

I can’t help it.

Instead of the unlucky Luciana, I stepped up.

“Actually I don’t have a name!”

I said it with a smile on purpose, but the atmosphere got very cold.

Pft, I thought this would happen, so I purposely laughed.

“…what do you mean by no name?”

Melkiade asked back, “Maybe it’s my first time hearing it.” His sense of hypocrisy shook me as well.

Luciana, who received a sharp look, crouched down.

“So, it’s…”

“Explain it properly.”

Luciana’s shoulders flinched.

It’s not even Luciana’s fault. Why are you talking to Luciana like that?

“It’s all right. Ah. You can say it, Lucy.

I hugged Luciana and nodded, and Luciana opened her mouth, hesitating.

“She don’t have an official name,” she said.

I grinned as I watched Melkiade’s usual eyes to see if that made sense.

“That’s right, because I was born in Cabella Binh Minchon!”

“…..!”

The expression faded from Melkiade’s face. Kalian, who is behind Melkiade, who had no idea what he is thinking, is openly amazed.

Their eyes were on me at the same time.

Why are they so surprised?

Because the saintess of the Church was born in the world’s most hideous slum? Or….

‘Is it because you casually confided in the Vatican secrets they were trying to hide?

“Everyone’s been calling me a kid, or there, girl, the same thing.”

And ever since I entered the temple, I have been called Yeha.

“So I don’t have a name!”

I couldn’t have said this myself, but I felt sorry for him.

No, Priscilla was pathetic.

I know Priscilla is Priscilla, but she originally had no name.

A powerless child born and abandoned as an orphan whose parents did not know, and raised in the hands of a farmer and sold for a bottle of medicine.

A young child, whose name, writing, and world is unknown, lived without even being able to bring up memories of her previous life, and celebrated the day at the age of six.

The day of miracles and becoming saints.

‘I’m the saint now.’

I looked down my palm.

I could feel the full divine force flowing through my fingertips. I became the main character of the story that I used to read only in novels.

I was surprised to be able to use divine power when I thought I happened to come into Priscilla’s body.

Am I a saintess, too?’

Or I can use divine power because I took this body?

“What is the gift that this body received from God?’

All the saintess said that they would receive gifts from God at the moment of awakening.

As far as I know, the blessing Priscilla gotts was the ‘memory of her past’

There was a lot I didn’t know about my body yet.

“The information regarding Yeha’s origins is confidential. I’m telling you this because she wanted to get her name from your Majesty even if she disclosed her secret to you.

Cried Luciana, nodding her head at the right words.

“Daddy, give me a name!”

The name that father give me! It’s the best!

It will be named after the name I know anyway, but I wanted to get it through my favorite.

He gave a different look.

“Daddy, don’t you like it?”

Carefully, I grabbed Melkiade’s sleeve and wept.

I really want to have a name that my dad gave me.

A deep, mysterious eye gazed at me. After a long time he opened his mouth.

“I’ll give you. “

* * * * *

Melkiade is silent in the drawing room left alone after the child had left.

“Daddy’s the best!”

The warmth left by the child, who was embracing him with a bright smile, remained like a brand at the fingertips.

‘The saucy little girl. ‘1

The expression of the brash child turned into a crybaby and it is so annoying.

‘No name.’

Who dares think that a saintess doesn’t have a name?

Anyone born in the world has a name. What is the point of not having such a basic thing?

Melkiade’s eyes sank darkly.

He thought that all that a little girl could be so bright is because the Vatican did everything they could for her.

‘Was it all a misunderstanding?

It’s funny.

“Kalian.”

At Melkiade’s call, Kalian, who was quietly sitting on one side of the wall, knelt on one knee.

“How’s the progress of the temple investigation?”

“It’s almost over. It will be finished by tomorrow. We had more time than we expected, so we didn’t have a problem with the investigation.”

“What about the one we’ve been looking for?”

“None.”

Melkiade laughed at Kalian’s answer.

“They must have moved it somewhere else. “

The reason why he came to the Vatican himself.

It was because of ‘something’ the Vatican was secretly hiding.

“I thought this place would have its property, where did they take it?”

There was nowhere to guess.

Was it a waste after all?

“….What is Valentino doing?”

“The Duke of Leavenhook seems to be in contact with the majority of the Vatican’s personnel. I don’t know if….”

“Maybe he wanted to be the father of the saintess. “

It’s an obvious ambition.

If you use the temple, you will be able to consolidate your position.

“In the end, the rumor that the Senate and the Pope have joined hands was not a rumor.

The cooperation of two beings to monitor and check each other. It was a bad new issue.

“Tell Akilo. Strengthen your intuition about the two.

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

Kalian looked at Melkiade with a vote to ask him something.

“What are you afraid of Duke of Leavenhook?”

“Well.

Melkiade put a languid smile on his chin.

Already guessing whether the Duke of Leavenhook, Valentino, had obtained the run-off cooperation from the Senate and the Pope in return for nothing.

Maybe Lehel.

The Northern Empire itself.

“What shall we do?”

He didn’t go up because he wanted to, but even if he came down a lot, he didn’t have any regrets.

I wanted to throw what I wanted so badly.

“I didn’t mean to throw it once and see what you were going to do….”

I changed my mind.

Still, one thing was clear in this country, even though it doesn’t matter what happens…

I don’t want to hand over that cheeky little girl.

“Kalian.”

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

“Have you…. have you ever named someone?

Kalian nodded.

“To a dog or horse that I used to raise…”

Such a common practice that everyone does once, but Melkiade has never given anyone a name by hand.

But he know enough about what the name means. It’s a problem because he just knew enough.

“What name suits her?”

“I don’t know.

In fact, even he couldn’t understand why he stood up to give her a name.

‘Is it just for pity?’

Maybe he couldn’t turn a blind eye to the look she was giving.

‘Or just interested.’

“Your Majesty?”

Melkiade rose from his seat, disdaining his behavior with the simple words of impulse.

“I need to go somewhere.”

* * * * *

Three days have already passed since Melkiade said he would name me.

Three days. Yeah, three days passed.

“No, he’s too long! “

As I shook my head and screamed, Luciana shook her head.

“Maybe your Majesty has not decided yet. “

“Aaaaaaah! Luciana. What the hell is going on here? Huh?”

Holding Luciana’s arm, she stamped her foot.

“I can’t put off my consciousness any longer! We have to leave in a week now! He have to give me a name for my new identity tomorrow right now!”

“So it’s better to get your name from the Holy Pope as usual. “

Get a name from the Pope’s old man!

“I don’t like that! Name’s precious! Don’t you know?”

“Hahahaha. Is he tricking me because he doesn’t want to name me?”

“I don’t think so.”

“That’s right? Hahahaha. I thought he would name me right away. “

“….What do you think of your Majesty?”

“What do you mean, Dad?”

I knew everything because it’s my favorite.

“Oh, really what?”

It was also Melkiade’s strength to keep his promise in vain.

I poked Luciana in the ribs for no reason.

“Lucy, did you hear anything from Kalian?”

“I talked to him once, but he didn’t say anything.

“Don’t tell me he forgot to name me!”

“No, it can’t be.”

I can’t believe it, but I didn’t know what would happen in life.

“I can’t. Let’s go. “

In the end, I couldn’t stand it and got up.

“Let’s go and ask! When is he going to give me a name? I’m not cut out for sitting still and waiting!”

Why don’t you ask me if I’m alone? The fists were firmly clenched.

“Come on, let’s go!”

I took the lead in opening the door wide.

“……”

“……”

Beyond the gate the corridor is supposed to be visible stood Pope Raphael, smiling.

I closed the door as it is.
