The ‘Child of the Goddess Ella’ who helped people with the cunning tongue of the white snake began to be pointed at as a ‘witch’.

The child of the Goddess Ella with the purple eyes, who had been seeing the future, informed her sisters of this fact. The children of the Goddess Ella began to hide among the people. The white snake, along with her followers, found the hidden child of the Goddess Ella and took away the crystal orbs they possessed. The white snake absorbed power through the crystal orbs.

Fortunately, the child of the Goddess Ella with the purple eyes went to the black snake guarding the earth and asked for protection from the white snake.

The black snake of the earth was arrogant.

The black snake of the earth said it wanted to know the most beautiful thing in the world. The child of the Goddess Ella with the purple eyes said she would let the black snake know what it desired.

The black snake mocked the white snake’s jealousy and greed.

The battle between the black snake and the white snake began. The earth was destroyed by the fight between the two giant snakes, and dark clouds and rain fell from the sky.

People trembled in fear.

The victor at the end of the long battle was the white snake. At the end of the battle, the black snake of the earth began to be devoured by the white snake.

At that moment, the child of the Goddess Ella with the purple eyes appeared before the white snake.

The child of the Goddess Ella with the purple eyes took out her amethyst orb.

The white snake looked at the crystal orb with enraptured eyes. But soon, the white snake’s enraptured gaze disappeared.

The amethyst orb began to crack.

The child of the Goddess Ella with the purple eyes shattered her amethyst orb. The white snake was outraged.

The child of the Goddess Ella with the purple eyes, disappearing with a halo of light, told the black snake of the earth that if it saw her amethyst orb again in the distant future, it would be able to see and feel the most beautiful thing in the world, and then vanished.

The black snake being devoured by the white snake began to disappear with a halo of light, satisfied with the answer, and the white snake was outraged.

It was the moment when only one child of the Goddess Ella with indigo eyes, Musilla, remained in this world.

Lorencia looked into Teishar’s red eyes. Suddenly, she thought the black snake of the earth might be watching her through the red eyes of the Spencer family.

“The red eyes of the black snake will see and feel the most beautiful thing in the world.”

“What are you suddenly talking about?”

“There is such a thing.”

Teishar kissed the back of Lorencia’s hand once more, and after kissing her fingertips, he smiled with his eyes. Then he lightly embraced Lorencia before letting go.

Seeing her expression, Teishar felt a deep sense of relief. He had been worried she would cry and suffer for days after learning the truth. Fortunately, Lorencia did not take the truth painfully. Rather, she said it was a relief. A sigh of relief naturally came out.

But there was something even more fortunate than the current relief. It was that Lorencia had finally opened her heart to him. When she leaned against his chest and complained, she was so cute that he couldn’t take his eyes off her.

Teishar looked at the tree behind Lorencia. It was visible to the eyes that the roots and branches had grown strong.

Even though it was a young tree that had not fully grown yet, it was very refreshing and beautiful. He couldn’t even imagine how beautiful it would be if the branches were full of flowers. Teishar made up his mind once again. To grow the young tree sturdily.

“Then are you ready to fall off the cliff? Lord Spencer.”

“Of course.”

Teishar smiled brightly and embraced Lorencia once more.

“Lord Magus. So you’re saying my real family is in the Poloid Empire?”

“Yes. They are eagerly waiting for Lady Lorencia in the Poloid Empire.”

Lorencia was truly astonished to learn the hidden secret of her birth. She had only one family, her mother Musilla. She couldn’t imagine any other family. Honestly, it still didn’t feel real. But hearing that those family members wanted to see her made her feel excited and fluttered.

“But won’t they hate me? Because I was born…”

In a way, her mother Musilla died and her father Cain’s whereabouts became unknown because she was born. So she thought her real family might resent her. A feeling of fear arose.

“No one in your family resents Lady Lorencia.”

Was her inner thought exposed? Lorencia stared at Magus.

“Not a single person resents or hates Lady Lorencia, who was born out of the love and blessings of the two. It’s the being that made Musilla and Lord Cain that way who is bad. Not Lady Lorencia.”

At Magus’s words, Lorencia’s heart fluttered. Her chest also swelled up.

“So don’t worry. Lady Lorencia.”

“I understand. Lord Magus.”

“Then let’s return to the Poloid Empire with me now. To your original home…”

Magus said to return to the Poloid Empire. In her heart, she wanted to go to the Poloid Empire and meet her real family, but before that, Lorencia had something to do.

“I’ll go to the Poloid Empire after the hunting competition is over.”

Magus was puzzled by Lorencia’s words. He wondered what lingering attachment made Lorencia want to stay a little longer in the Isuter Empire.

“Could you tell me the reason why?”

“I’ll tell you and Lord Spencer about the future I know.”

“The future? Have you been using your power?”

Lorencia lifted the corners of her mouth. And she showed Magus the amethyst necklace she was wearing around her neck.

“Yes. I’ve been using the power for a long time. At first, I thought it was the power of the crystal orb, but it wasn’t.”

Lorencia now understood the eye pain that felt like it would tear apart whenever she used the power of the amethyst necklace. Because the power she possessed was great, the small amethyst fragment could not contain that power, causing her to feel pain.

“I learned this time that the child of the Goddess Ella was not using the power possessed by the crystal orb.”

If there was no crystal orb that could hold the vast power bestowed by the goddess, the child of the Goddess Ella herself had to become the crystal orb.

Just as a mage needed a wand and a knight needed a sword, the child of the Goddess Ella could only fully utilize her power if she had a crystal orb.

The foolish white snake probably thought it had the power of the Goddess Ella because it ate the crystal orb, but that was absolutely not the case.

When you eat a crystal orb, you only feel the power that remained in the orb for a short time. As time passed, the power of the crystal orb would completely disappear.

Lorencia clasped the amethyst necklace tightly.

“That’s why it hurt whenever I used the power to see the future. Because I had to become the crystal orb myself to contain and use the power I possessed.”

“Don’t use your power anymore. Lady Lorencia.”

Lorencia smiled and looked at Teishar. Teishar raised his hand and brushed her cheek and the corner of her eye with his thumb.

“The corners of your eyes are slightly swollen. We’ll need to treat it with a scroll.”

“I don’t think they’re that swollen, are they very swollen?”

Teishar closely examined Lorencia’s face. Every time he looked down at Lorencia wriggling in his arms, his heart started pounding uncontrollably. No, it wasn’t starting, it was pounding nonstop.

“Ahem. Teishar.”

“What is it? Father.”

“I think it would be better for you to sit a little farther from Lady Lorencia.”

Magus made an awkward fake cough and spoke to Teishar, who was only staring at Lorencia.

“I can’t do that.”

Teishar held Lorencia’s shoulders even tighter and showed Magus an openly displeased look.

“Please don’t tell me to be apart from Lady Lorencia. Father.”

At Teishar’s words, Magus was half surprised, his mouth agape. His current behavior of holding Lorencia in his arms was close to an obsession. It couldn’t be explained solely by the reason of being a snake.

“Teishar. If you keep sticking close like that, it might make Lady Lorencia uncomfortable.”

At the mention that Lorencia might become uncomfortable, Teishar didn’t hide his flustered expression.

“Lady Lorencia. By any chance… were you uncomfortable leaning against my chest?”

“I’m not uncomfortable at all. Rather, it’s comfortable.”

As soon as he heard her answer, the corners of Teishar’s mouth loosened for a moment. And he openly glared at Magus. Magus momentarily felt an urge to avoid his gaze but didn’t.

“No matter what anyone says, I won’t leave Lorencia’s side.”

“You won’t leave my side?”

“Yes. So Lady Lorencia, you mustn’t leave my side either.”

“Alright. I won’t leave Lord Spencer’s side.”

Lorencia’s words flew and pierced deep into Teishar’s heart. His trembling heart was shaken. The corners of his mouth loosened more than a moment ago. His body and mind were enraptured as if dreaming. The floor felt like soft marshmallows, and his mind and heart were gripped by a feeling as if they would melt like chocolate.
