“I-When did I ever say I don’t follow the law? It’s just that this situation is a bit confusing…”

“It’s because it’s an orphanage with too few people. It’s a bit suspicious. Even the facilities don’t seem to be properly maintained. That’s why I want to talk to the children. If it doesn’t work out, I can leave now and talk. His Majesty the Emperor would be quite sad to know that the future of the Empire’s children is being raised in such a backward place.”

To be sad. The Emperor had no reason to care about such matters. The Emperor was dying soon.

The quick marriage of the Crown Prince was also due to the Emperor’s deteriorating health. So even if she talked about the orphanage to such a person, there was no reason to worry or send an investigator.

Nevertheless, Sesenia pressed her as if she had waited.

Beside her, Lizbet, who had been standing there, looked at her with a firm expression.

‘Our young lady has returned… Clearly, she’s been possessed by a demon…!’

It was clear that she could see through her inner thoughts. To Sesenia, she herself had changed from the past. In the past, she wanted to be a good person.

She had lived like that, and she had never spoken ill of others or caused harm.

But now, she threatened those like Eljir who harmed her or interfered with her interests without hesitation.

Teddy’s eyes sparkled as he watched her like that, but Lizbet was different.

Nevertheless, Sesenia was confident.

“Well. If it doesn’t work out, you can go back.”

The woman, who was biting her own nails in embarrassment, smiled awkwardly.

“The children… are not in good condition.”

“It won’t take long.”

She had gone this far, and there was no way to say that it couldn’t be done anymore. In the end, the woman from the orphanage sighed deeply.

“Well… You won’t have any problems. Since your status is clear… Right? You won’t have any problems, right?”

She asked Sesenia as if she were asking her not to cause any trouble. As if she were telling her not to make any problems.

“Don’t worry.”

“…I understand. I’ll trust you.”

“Then Lizbet and Teddy can wait outside.”

“Yes. Understood.”

Lizbet stared at me silently like that. Her eyes were somewhat strange. Sesenia and Lizbet seemed to think that each other was strange. Lizbet was someone who knew everything about Sesenia. Since they spent all their time together every day. From the slave trader to this incident, Sesenia had moved without any information.

Hephria’s wool, of course, but as time went on, Lizbet would think it was strange, too.

‘If she hasn’t regressed… If she hasn’t experienced this time… she probably wouldn’t think it’s so strange…’

Sesenia smiled softly.

‘And this is the place Lizbet told me about.’

She became Empress and not long after, Peliche Orphanage became famous in a spectacular way. And Sesenia had met the children of this place briefly during her time as Empress. For not good reasons.

“Then come in quickly before the director arrives…”

At that moment, the teacher from the orphanage rushed me. Putting aside thoughts about Lizbet, Sesenia looked at the door.

“Yes.”

As expected, she wasn’t the director. In a place with only five children. Among them, three of them were already adopted from the orphanage. But there was no sound of the children anywhere.

At that moment, Lizbet opened the door for me, and Sesenia stared quietly at the dark room even though it was daytime.

“Close the door.”

At Sesenia’s command, Lizbet closed the door. The orphanage woman still looked uncomfortable, but since they had already made an appointment, she didn’t add any more words.

When the door closed, even darker darkness came. A place with no light at all. She picked up the candlestick next to the entrance she saw before the door closed. Instead of turning it on, she held it and approached the children.

“Hello. I don’t think you can see me, but you can see me.”

There are twins here.
“I am from the Empire, and I’ve come to rescue you. It may be hard to believe, but I’ll take you to the temple.”

The girl who was here and mentioned that the children would be sent to the temple is lying.

In the original timeline, I had met these twins. They are the royal twins who escaped from the kingdom known as Salmon, called the kingdom of wizards. To protect her younger sister Pepe, her brother Sillian brought her sister alone to the Empire, and they ended up in this orphanage again, caught by the people of Salmon.

This orphanage was a fake orphanage secretly created by the people of Salmon to infiltrate the Empire.

Actually, the people of Salmon who were trying to secretly abduct these twins failed, and the children ended up being sent to the temple.

That glamorous event was exactly this. In the Empire, magicians were quite rare. In such a situation, they were the royal family of Salmon. The children were excessively powerful. So the royal family and even the Empire’s citizens paid attention.
