I Was Reincarnated As A God - Chapter 3

He had blamed their father’s death on herself……

-Dirty.

A fishy voice resounded in her ears like a hallucination.

her frozen mind was enveloped in flames.

“Lucia?”

Seria looked at Lucia with worried eyes.

Lucia cried, flapping her four feet.

“Kkueueung! kkueu, kkiaang!!”

‘Agris! You bastard!!’

Large teardrops formed on her round eyes.

Her fur got wet and wetter with the tears.

“Kking, kkiiing……”

With a crying little fox in front of them, Lanore and Seria were at a loss of what to do.

Seria memorized all the healing magic spells she knew.

Lanore brought Lucia’s favorite fruit-filled tray in front of her.

But Lucia never stopped crying.

“You’re crying so hard. What if you get exhausted from this?”

Seria hugged Lucia next to Lanore, who was seriously muttering.

Seria was being comforting, stroking her trembling little body.

“Shh, my baby. Good girl……”

The usual cool voice soothed Lucia with its warmth.

Embraced in Seria’s warm arms, Lucia swallowed back her tears.

And she made a firm commitment.

‘I’ll definitely reveal the truth!’

* * *

Lucia, who had cried with sorrow and anger, fell asleep exhausted.

The next morning, Lucia opened her eyes between Seria and Lanore’s arms.

The two hugged Lucia close as they laid down on their backs sleeping.

After getting out of the arms of the both of them, Lucia turned to start stretching.

“Kkuuung……!”

Although she had short legs, it was cool to stretch them out one by one.

After finishing her stretching, Lucia sat down on a soft pillow.

Is it because she shed all her tears last night?

She felt like her mind had calmed down a little bit.

She had to quickly check out the situation at the Royal Palace of Roachim.

As more time goes by, it will be harder to uncover the truth that has been buried.

But right now, Lucia was facing a situation in which she couldn’t even go outside.

‘It would be much better if I could just say it.’

Lucia opened her mouth.

And she tried to concentrate and speak out.

“……Kkiang.”

It was also a ‘Kkiang’.

Lucia rubbed her front paws against the restless muzzle.

She heard a loud laugh from in front of her.

When she looked at the side where she heard the sound, Lanore and Seria, who had woken up, were watching Lucia. (TLN: yes it says from front then changes to side…)

Lanore reached out and pulled Lucia back.

Lucia was once again stuck between the two.

“I think my little one must be in a good mood now.”

Lanore tapped Lucia’s nose to keep her from hurting.

Her nose tickled.

“Kkingchyu!”(TLN: omg this sneeze is soooo cute!)

Lanore laughed out loud as Lucia sneezed and her body trembled.

Lanore said with his long eyes bent into a crescent moon.

“You cried a lot and fell asleep, so you must be hungry. Shall we eat first?”

Lucia looked at all the colorful fruits that were in the basket.

There were many nameless fruits that she had never eaten in her previous life.

Perhaps it was because they were fruits that only grew in the forest of divinity.

How sweet the crunchy fresh pulp is.

Just looking at them made her mouth water.

She didn’t like sweets originally before, but she felt that her appetite preferences had changed as she was reborn.

Lucia fell into Seria’s arms and ate the fruit she had carved one by one.

Lanore, who was smiling at Lucia eating fruit, got out of bed.

“I’m going to have to go to the handover once.”

Lucia pricked her ears. She focused on Lanore, chewing the fruit in her mouth and swallowing it.

Lanore flicked out his finger.

Then the silver feet, which had been stretched to the waist, became so short that they slightly covered the neck.

The tip of the pointed ears turned round, and the odd pupils that had been torn all the way down the length reduced to the appearance of a normal human being.

“If I try to do it later, Vermon might come into the woods.”

He spoke aloud, checking his appearance in a full-body mirror.

“While I’m there, I’ll have to check in on the Royal Household of Roachim.”

Seria, who was handing fruit to Lucia, murmured quietly.

“Since two members of the Imperial family are dead…… It must be a mess by now”

Lucia, who listened in to the conversation between the two, clenched her small forelegs tightly.

Lanore, it seemed that he would be going out into the human world soon.

This was a golden opportunity.

When Lucia stopped eating, Seria blinked.

“Lucia. Are you full now?”

Lucia put down the piece of fruit she was holding in her mouth.

Then she jumped down lightly from the table and ran back and forth.

Arriving at Lanore, who was packing up a few things, Lucia clasped onto his trousers tightly.

“Lucia?”

Seria and Lanore both stared at Lucia with their eyes wide open.

Lanore glanced at Seria, and then asked back, looking at Lucia.

“Don’t tell me……you want to go with me?”

Lucia nodded as hard as she could.

The fluffy tail fluttered.

But before Lanore could answer, Seria cut off and dissuaded her.

“No, Lucia. The human world is a dangerous place.”

It was a very determined voice.

“Kkueueung……”

The tail, which had been swaying, lost its strength and sank.

Lucia looked up at Lanore, the last remaining hope.

With the most pitiful expression on her face, she hung on his feet and groaned.

“Umm.”

Lanore looked embarrassed at the sight of Lucia pulling at the hem of his clothing with all her might.

He whispered to Seria.

“Wouldn’t it be safe since she’ll be with me?”

“Kiyang!”

Lucia gave a shout of cheer.

“Lanore.”

But Seria was not relenting.

“Lucia hasn’t even had her Birth ceremony yet.” (TLN: When I first started to TL this sentence it looked like Lucia had yet to give birth yet >.<)

“Even if it’s a ritual, it’s just the other Shinsu that will be coming to see Lucia anyway.”

“But…”

Lanore hugged Lucia, who was jumping around.

As he was patting Lucia’s fluffy fur, he raised up his eyebrows.

“Don’t worry too much, Seria. Am I so unreliable?”

Lanore, with a mischievous face, shook Lucia round and round.

“Lucia, do you think you and Dad should go and explore the human world? Huh?”

“Kkang!”

“There are so many strange wonders in the human world.”

The strange things he was talking about must have been something she had seen in her past life.

But Lucia shook her tail as if she was looking forward to it.

Seria looked at Lucia’s gleaming eyes that were full of anticipation and sighed.

In the end, she couldn’t beat Lucia either.

“Let’s go together, then.”

Seria packed up Lucia’s favorite blankets, cushions, and fruits in a cloth bag.

Soon Lanore and Lucia were all ready to leave the forest.

“Lucia, Mom will follow you when I’m done preparing for the birth ceremony.”

Although Seria didn’t show much emotion, she seemed to be disappointed in the face of them parting.

Lucia licked the tip of Seria’s nose slightly, meaning for her not to worry.

“……”

Seria curled her lips up in silence.

Lanore smiled as he looked at her blushed cheeks.

In the end, Seria hugged Lucia tightly and kissed her with a loud noise.

After a long time of kisses, they set off much later than they expected.

Lanore kissed Seria lightly on the cheek.

“I’ll be there first, Seria.”

Lucia said hello with her feet out.

“Kkyut!”

From the magic circle on the ground, a gust of wind and dazzling lights sprang up like a tornado.

It wasn’t until the wind stopped that Lucia was barely able and opened her eyes.

It was a dense forest.

Unlike the forest they resided in, which is full of vitality, this looked like a common forest she would see from her previous life.

Walking along the forest path, Lanore spoke softly to Lucia.

“Lucia, there are three taboos that must be kept by the Shinsu.”

First, don’t get too involved in the human world.

Second, don’t let the human beings know that you’re a Shinsu.

And lastly, the third.

Don’t fall in love with humans. It was a taboo made to keep the secrets of the gods from humans.

“If any of these three taboos turns out to be known, they will be taken to the Presbyterian Church and sealed in the forest of gods…”

Lanore replied with a grin, not a word instead.

“I think it’s a silly taboo, but you’d better pretend to protect Ildan. Okay?”

Lucia answered with a wagging tail.

“Good, little girl.”

Lanore patted Lucia and slowly moved on.

As they walked on for a while, the trees and bushes were lifted up and a huge castle appeared.

The castle, which turned against the snow-covered mountain range, was blue in every spot hit by sunlight.

It was an overwhelming and beautiful castle.

Lucia, who was watching with her eyes wide open, tilted her head.

Because of the flagpole high up on the wall, the flags were fluttering.

‘Something familiar……?’

The sentence that was drawn on one of the flags was familiar.

As soon as she looked closely for a moment, the soldiers on the wall found Lucia and Lanore.

The scouts quickly began to ring the bell.

There was a roar behind the loud bell.

With the sound of the gears turning, the massive gates were slowly opened.

Knights ran out of the gate.

“Your Excellency the Grand Duke!”

Surprised by the urgent and roaring cry, Lucia suddenly stiffened herself.

‘Wait a minute…… Your Excellency?’

The knights, who reached them in a flash, knelt down in unison with this thrilled emotional looks.

“Your Excellency Elharan!”

“Congratulations on your return!!”

Standing before the welcoming knights, Lucia opened her mouth blankly.

A ruler who rules over the northern part of the Roachim Empire.

The Master of the Idelbador Mountains and the icy walls.

The very Duke of Elharan who even the Emperor couldn’t treat carelessly……

‘My dad, so you’re a Shinsu?!’

HAAA no wonder he was so for not caring about the taboos cuz he blatantly ignoring them himself so why should his precious baby daughter have to listen to it either! My goodness this ch is so full of cuteness >.<
