Things happen in life
In life, there are days like this.
What’s the probability of finding my favorite character while walking down the street? What’s the probability of encountering my favorite character coincidentally from another country or another world who doesn’t live in the same country?
‘I thought I would be a failing maniac.’
So-called ‘Maniacs can’t get lucky’.
I thought there was the phenomenon of only maniacs can’t become lucky but that wasn’t it.
My body was trembling as my favorite character was speaking and breathing clearly in front of me.
‘Favorite character. Favorite. My favorite!’
I stared at man’s face while calming myself from becoming excited.
The face I imagined every day exists in front of me.
Dear author, you didn’t mention that it is this beautiful!
“Who are you?”
A quiet voice spoke to me.
Oh god, his voice is great as well! It was better than I imagined. I instinctively began to make a sad face and the man seemed to be restless.
That face felt like he doesn’t prefer me crying.
How can he be so handsome?
I have confidence that I won’t get sick and tired if I see him every day. I prefer the middle-aged version of him, but with you I will love no matter who you are!
“I asked who you are.”
As I continued to not to give any response, the man furrowed his eyebrows.
I was out of breath as his face looked handsome even when he frowned his eyebrows.
It was a different beauty than I imagined and I lost my words.I can’t help it. I try to keep it to myself but I can’t stand this feeling!
“Dad!”
I ran towards the man at once.
In this world, I was never loved by someone nor gave love to someone.
He is the most pitiful man.
Also, the only person who I love the most more than anyone in this world.
I felt the man who was sitting comfortably becoming stiff.
He was holding his breath instantly and appeared surprised.
“Dad!”
“….Who are you calling dad?”
The man asked back in an absurd voice. It must feel quite absurd for an unmarried man.
I smiled gently and made eye contact with him. I felt a strong pressure in his golden eyes but even that was really fun for me.
“Hey. Dad.”
When I hugged the man, the man looked at me dumbfounded.
It doesn’t work even if you look at me like that.
I will never give up.
“Dad~!”
I don’t know if he gave up at last but he quit getting rid of me.
I looked up at the man who was sighing quietly and I thought I wouldn’t regret if I died right now.
This is my first meeting with my dad who I love the most yet he will become a tyrant.
There are many things which happened that cannot understood in this world.
Yesterday, my cellphone broke and today I became 6 years old.
“It’s better to get the cellphone destroyed rather than becoming 6 years old when waking up.”
I’m experiencing the most ridiculous things in my life right now.
I put my face on a window ceiling and looked outside the window. It looked a bit odd but I couldn’t do much as I’m not tall.
The scene I see outside the window was completely different from the world I knew so far.
“Of course, it’s different! Here is a different part of the world!”
Wide field and blue sky. Even high-class guests entering from the main road along with small villages which can be seen afar.
Numerous people and cars did not invade the roads or tall buildings.
I was relieved and despaired at the same time as this wasn’t a dream while looking outside the window which differed from what I knew to be true.
Already 1 month has passed! It won’t be realistic to dream vividly like this for a month.”
I was looking at the scene which was unique and unfamiliar then put my face away from the window ceiling. Afterward, I looked at my small hands.
At first, I was very confused.
I couldn’t understand the situation immediately so it hasn’t been long since I’ve been crying and wanting to go back.
However, one thing made me become conscious.
“Melkiade!”
That’s seeing my favorite character.
It must be God’s will to meet my favorite character while trying to escape thinking that it is a movie set or the Truman show.
“God fulfilled my wish!”
It’s good that I go to bed after praying to God every night.
“The world with my favorite character.”
Then, there is only one conclusion.
I have entered inside a novel and I’m the main character of this novel.
‘Normally the main character will be very happy.’
Unfortunate news but this
“Sob.”
There is no smooth pathway despite being the main character!
“Well it’s okay.”
Because my favorite character lives here.
“Crying. Light and salt….”
There won’t be any love like this.
While living my life, I don’t have any memories of waiting for updates on web novels nor waiting impatiently for a spinoff. It was the first time looking for author’s blogs and social media.
It was the moment when I was crying in joy with the opportunity to meet my favorite character once again.
“Woman Saint Yeha! Why are you standing here again like this!”
I became conscious after hearing the familiar voice.
Luciana ran to me with surprise in her voice.
She moved my body away from leaning towards the window.
Luciana, who is my maid and takes care of me, looked at me with a firm facial expression.
It was strong but I gently smiled at Luciana.
“Smile”
“….It doesn’t work even if smile at me like that.”
Damn, it worked until yesterday.
I can’t believe she didn’t fall for my cuteness; she is strong!
As I stared at her with surprise, Luciana made a firm commitment and looked at me with a scary face.
“Please don’t look outside in a dangerous posture like that. Do you understand?”
I had to just nod to what Luciana was saying.
“You do realize that today is an important day?”
“I know, I know.”
“Then, have a seat. I will get you ready.”
As Luciana spoke, I sat quietly. Soon, there was clothing with golden thread with patterns in front of me.
That’s the clothes only ‘Woman Saint’ can wear.
“You will wear this.”
“Yes.”
I just wore what Luciana gave me and I was recalling the most important problem right now.
‘I must survive.’
Pricilla, the main character of this novel and who is also myself is a tragic heroine who dies after being used by people for being nice.
‘I can’t live like that.’
I’m sorry to the author of this novel but I don’t want to live like Pricilla.
I don’t want to have a meaningless death like that.
In order to do so, it is important to survive safely.
‘I must carefully decide the family I will be adopted into!’
At last, today is decision day.
“Finally, today……”
The day has come.
When I arrived at the giant temple guided by Luciana, there was the Pope and 12 elders already.
When I entered the temple, everyone stood and bowed to me.
“Welcome, Yeha.”
It was hard for me to receive greetings from seniors who have grey hair since I’m from a society where it is required to respect the elders.
I laughed awkwardly and nodded twice. This made elders smile in happiness.
“You look cute today as well.”
“It’s sad to send you off to elsewhere.”
“Tradition is tradition so we don’t have any choice.”
“May God bless Yeha anywhere she goes.”
After getting blessings from the elders I stood in front of the Pope. Pope Raphael is an elderly person as well.
“Welcome Saint Woman Yeha.”
“Yes, your Holiness Pope.”
The Pope laughed happily and asked me with a happy smile.
“Do you know what today is?”
“Yes!”
Of course, I know. Today is the day where I decide my family.
All Saint Women must leave their religious body and return after seeing the big world. That’s why I must choose a family to look after me until I become an adult……
‘It’s not like choosing randomly from a box but I have to choose my family by luck.’
In original work, Pricilla failed her life because she chose the wrong people to be her family member.
That’s why in order to avoid Pricilla’s miserable life, I must choose the family ‘wisely’.
What an irrational situation.
‘Never the family which Pricilla chose.’
I was trembling my body as I was thinking of the family who fed me sweet potatoes every time.
Traditionally, the family who will stay with the Woman Saint was chosen by the Pope from the candidates selected by the Elders.
It is going through extremely complicated procedures so they were cautious and cautious.
“I’m glad that you seem happy, Yeha.”
“Yes, I feel great!”
I affirmed it by nodding and the elders were surprised as they haven’t heard my voice in a long time.
“You must feel very satisfied.”
“that you are raising your voice.”
“It was my first time hearing Yeha’s voice.”
It seems that few elders heard my voice for the first time as I didn’t speak at all because they were suspicious of my age since I spoke too well.
Leaving the surprised elders behind, I looked back at Pope, his holiness. When I made eye contact, his holiness graciously smiled at me.
“Then, shall we begin?”
With his holiness beginning to speak, I nodded my head and the candidates chosen by the elders came in one by one.
I didn’t know their face but I could recognize them by their characteristics.
‘They aren’t the right person.’
At last, the person who I was waiting to enter the giant temple.
“Yeha!”
I didn’t hear the elder calling me while being surprised at the back. I didn’t care if anybody said anything or looked at me.
I decided since I saw it for the first time.
“Dad!”
I ran quickly and hugged Melkiade.
It was the moment when Melkiade wanted to say something while frowning his face as he recognized me.
I spoke first before him.
“I will adopt you as my father!”
I can’t choose my family randomly!
“You! Become my father!”
Putting everything to become a maniac!
I’m certain. This will work! I’m putting all my wealth into this investment!
Adopted Dad
In a general sense, adoption was the act of choosing a child to adopt and be that child’s guardian.
But!
Do you know that the definition of adoption is the act of legalizing relationships and identities, such as biological parents and children. There was no law that only parents can adopt children.
So it’s not impossible for me to adopt him!
A choice once in a lifetime.
“What the hell is going on!”
“Watch your language!”
“Huh, what the hell is this…?”
Unlike me, who was deeply satisfied, the situation was a mess. In particular, the elders protested.
I was attending an emergency convocation meeting now attended by 12 elders and the pope because of the nuclear bomb-grade incident that occurred in Daeshin.
But I was dragged when I slept.
“Hehe. “
I smiled to ease the tension, but the faces of the elders and the Pope did not even falter wiyh my cuteness.
Tch, is this not enough?
“Sorry, Yeha…..”
Dominique, the troubled elder, frowned at me.
“Choosing the guardian of a Saint Woman is a very sacred ritual.”
I know.
Historically, it was the current system that came out fairly because the church and the Senate fought each other to protect the saint.
‘But the random box is too much, you know.’
It’s a random box. But there is a probability that it will be fabricated!
After a long silence, Pope Raphael opened his mouth.
Yeha’s family has a sacred and great duty to protect her from the world, allowing her to show and learn about the world from young adults in the future.”
The Pope and the Elder are saying one thing after all.
‘I can’t respect your choice.’
Well, I’ve already expected this backlash.
As if to say something, the pope and the 12 eldera looked at me.
I laughed hard as if I knew nothing.
“The decision to ignore the procedure is unacceptable!”
“As expected, Yeha is still not mature enough to participate in the ceremony.”
“The results are as precious as the procedures.”
“We cannot proceed the ceremony without the consent of Yeha.
“There’s a lot of anxiety about getting the procedure ready from scratch.”
With an innocent look on their faces, the elders lowered their voices to discuss the matter. I smiled and let them talk.
While I’m so peaceful!
I know why they were protesting.
‘You’re going to send me to a family where I would likely to develop all kinds of diseases within three months of adoption.’
To be honest, the house of their choice was the best place to be.
But who am I!
I am a reader who had read the story of Priscilla eating sweet potatoes under the name of “Ludia.”3
‘Never!’
I didn’t want to walk the path of promised destruction.
Never! No matter what!
“What happened today is very unusual.”
“You can’t find a precedent.”
“How do you want me to handle this?”
Unlike the confused elders, the pope looked relatively calm. I was rather more concerned about the look of Melkiade.
He intentionally smiled at Pope Raphael with his eyes, but his stiff face showed no sign of emotions.
Are you angry?
“To send our precious saint woman Yeha to the Emperor Melkiade!”8
The elders’ concerns were unyielding.
“Why on earth was Emperor Melkiade on the list?”
Melkiade Lexchai Lowsil Lehel.12
The emperor, who ruled the northern empire Lehel, has achieved unprecedented achievements in a vigorous conquest war and reunification of the northern continent at a young age.
He had a bad relationship with the Shinsung Empire, and he was the most notorious emperor. That’s why I’m especially happy.3
Another elder, who was searching through the documents, questioned why Emperor Melkiade was included in the final candidate.
“We didn’t choose the candidate. It was a request from Lehel. It’s customary to get two candidates to ensure impartiality….”
“Why did you choose such kind human….?”
There was a widespread crisis that I could never admit. I am worried about how to persuade the elders.
Because no matter what, I am a powerless child right now.
“You can’t send our precious Yeha to such person!”
Pope Raphael raised his hand as the discussion of the elders intensified. It was a signal to be quiet.
His blue eyes glanced at the elders and finally stopped at me.
“Yeha”
I smiled and nodded lightly at the pope’s call.
“Don’t you have anything to say to us?”
Thirteen pairs of eyes turned at me in unison. I smiled more brightly.
“I have!”
As I raised my hand and smiled broadly, a smile quickly spread over the elders and the Pope’s face.
A warm and kind look came to me as if he were looking at his granddaughter who’s acting cute.
“Yes, what would you like to say to Yeha?”
“In fact, I don’t know what you were doing.”
There was an air of impatience as I tilted my head to the fullest.
“Yeha will tell about an unbelievable story.”
“Please speak at ease, I will listen.”
Other elders followed the pope’s words.
“Why did you choose him?”
I’ve been waiting for this moment, while everyone’s focused on my words.
At last there was an opportunity to persuade these people.
Such great powers could not have been in me who’s now six years old.
What was important in this ceremony anyway was “justification.”
“I heard a voice.”
The elders swallowed their breath.
“As soon as he entered the hall, my vision brightened and I heard a voice spoke in my head and told me ‘It’s him’.6
Actually, that didn’t happen, but I had a similar phenomenon.
About three years ago.
It was a case called “Duktong Accident.”
“Well, it’s…..”
“Is that a prophecy?”
“Oh, my God.
At the same time, the glaring elders began to pray.
“May the glory come down and the truth shine upon us. “
I prayed with them.
Merciful God, forgive me for lying because I wanted to be with my favorite.11
In fact, there he’s the only one in the world who wanted to keep my neck intact from the start.
“He’s the only dad I want. “
I don’t approve of anyone else!
No one could argue with the words thrown them.
* * * * *
It wasn’t just the Vidane Bios Holy Empire who was confused by this situation.
Melkiade, the young emperor of Lehel, who was suddenly named a father, was equally confused.
What?! Your Majesty has become the Father of the Saintess?]
Over the wizard, a handsome figure frowned. He asked seriously.
[Will the Holy Father of the Vios be on the road to destruction now?]
“Shut up.”
Melkiade frowned at Akilo’s biting remark.
But even Melkiade couldn’t believe it.
How the hell did this happen? He didn’t come here because he wanted to be the father of a saint.4
[No, Your Majesty. Are you serious, not kidding? Are you sure? You’re not trying to make fun of me?]
“I said shut up. “
[Wow, is that a real harbinger of the world’s destruction?]
Unable to control his mouth, Akilo was slowly crossing the line, but there was a physical distance between the two, so Melkiade’s glare is not a threat.
[Your Majesty, please be honest. You didn’t threaten her, did you?]
“Anyway, clear the room, which was supposed to be in three months, in a week.
[What? You’ll be back soon?]
“Yes.”
[With saintess Yeha?]
“Yes.”
It was all the same that this situation was unbelievable.
But could he disobey?
He heard it’s been 3,000 years, and the Vios is really the end.
Akilo muttered and asked with an uneasy look.
[Your Majesty, what are you going to do?]
“What?”
[You’re not going to turn down the offer, are you?]
He did not respond.
It was a natural confirmation for Akilo, who knows His Majesty better than anyone else.
Melkiade wrinkled his eyebrows.
“Pft”
Then laughter could be heard from the other side.
As Melkiade frowned, Kalian, a guardian and the emperor’s aide, couldn’t hold back his laughter and was smiling.
“That’s what it is, Mr. Akilo. “
[·······?]
“Your Majesty is tied to the Holy Saintess”
[?!?!?!?!?]
Akilo, who opened his eyes wide with a wistful look, came running and made a fuss over the screen with a firm expression that he wanted to confirm immediately.
“That’s what happened yesterday….”
“Shut up, Kalian.”
“Yes.”
Kalian shut his mouth while he was trying to read Melkiade’s countenance. Across the screen, Akilo screamed.
[No, you don’t have to stop talking!] So what the hell happened yesterday!]
However, Akilo’s disturbance didn’t go that far either.
It was because a knock was heard in Melchide’s room.
“Your Majesty, Yeha is here.”
Kalian cut the line right away. The break time passed and the door opened. But all he could see through the door was a maid with her head down.
“…..”
At the time when I was about to ask, I saw a child who pinched her head behind her maid.
The child who found Melkiade smiled brightly.
“Daddy!”
Where did the shyness go? The child, who was in a pink dress, ran and hugged Melkiade.3
“Grandpa said I could go see you!”
The man stiffened, and only a frugal silence hovered in the room.
The golden eyes that looked down at me and the wrinkles in my forehead, My hands and stiff shoulders that I can’t help hugging myself.
All of them were madly lovely.
‘You must be a fan of this taste, my deity.’
The current reality that this is not a dream or imagination and the excitement of seeing her favorite in front of her eyes exploded, so she couldn’t calm her excitement down.
“Hehe. It’s Dad, Dad!”
I don’t need anything else! All I want is him!
I hugged Melkiade tightly in my arms.
‘This is the favorite thing I’ve always see in my dreams!’
This opportunity might not come again, I had to enjoy it a lot from now on.
Without knowing my thoughts, Melkiade had a mixed look on his face.
I instinctively noticed what that expression meant when I looked up.
You must be in a lot of trouble.
You didn’t seem to know how to deal with me.
I’m aiming for it!
It was the best moment to seduce Melkiade when he had yet to decide what to do with me.
‘How should I seduce you?’9
There must be only one thing, right?
Randomly thrusting!14
“Who are you calling father?”
“……!”
The cold voice made my body freeze. A sense of surprise and sorrow soared, but it’s all right.
“I haven’t recognized you as my daughter yet.”
……pardon?
At the same time as I hesitated, a man with red hair opened his mouth.
I was frowning at the sound, and Kalian, a man with red hair, clenched his fists.
It was just a pity not to capture this scene on camera.My favorite character! A limited edition of Melkiade!’3
I was clasping my hands, hoping he finally accepted me.
A cold, dripping voice that was quite different from before told me.
“The parish lunatics somehow made the right remark. That’s right, I don’t deserve to be your father.”
“What?”
“So go back.”
“Yes?”
When I opened my eyes wide, Kalian looked at me with a puzzled look on his face.
Melkiade, who rose from his seat, turned his back on me and walked out.3
Kalian followed in the footsteps of Melkiade, embarrassed.
Left alone in the drawing room, I blinked my eyes as I looked back at Luciana.
Oh, this isn’t it!1
* * * * *
What’s wrong with him all of a sudden?
“Have you heard of old age…?”
He was young enough to be senile, but otherwise I could hardly explain the situation.
If only you stayed still, you’ll have a saintess, and you’ll have a way to keep the Vatican in check. Why did you tossed that opportunity ?
“I don’t understand!”
Anyone can tell I’m a real talent, and I’m blessed to have rolled in?!
‘My favorite can’t be this stupid!’
“Oh, why?”
As I was suffering from tearing my hair out, Luciana opened her mouth with a sigh.
“Isn’t he worried?”
“He’s worried about me?”
“Yes. Otherwise, there’s no way he’ll be so determined to kick a position without such wealth.”
“Why would he be worried about me?”
If you were really worried about my life, you should have picked me up.
Luciana shrugged at my fierce antipathy.
“I don’t know, but… Maybe it’s because of the responsibility.”
“Responsibility?”
“I don’t think I would do a good job too…, of being a guardian of the saintess”
“Ah!”
It was something that I had never thought of.
That’s what Melkiade thinks?
There was a possibility…
“Hmmm..”
Luciana had a point, but that’s not Melkiade’s way of thinking. Perhaps not.
It was no match for him to feel such responsibility.
Maybe he didn’t like having a family.
He don’t like family, love, or maybe he hate it.
So how the hell do I deal with this problem?
“If you refuse like this, there’s really no way.”
How did I silence the Pope and the elders? How?!
It was time for me to seriously consider going back and begging for help since I know the future.
A knock was heard from the door.
“Your Holiness is looking for you.
An ominous atmosphere struck me.
* * * * *
It was a very chilly day.
Melkiade just recalled the day when he arrived at the Vios Holy Empire. He was still having a sleepless night.
‘I’m sick of it.’
Some said it was a curse and that he was punished, but his doctor diagnosed it as simply insomnia.
It doesn’t matter what the diagnosis is.
He had to settle down even a little before the sensation of being sensitive was raging. A walk to get some fresh air.
It was when he was walking down the street holding on to his throbbing head.
Suddenly a sound came from somewhere. At the end of the stony footsteps, he was worried that the water might be trapped in a trap due to a small frowning sound.
There he saw some strange scene.
“Oops!”
A child was struggling from the window, holding onto the curtain line.
‘A child?’
Did she ran away from a training priest? Suddenly, interest rose and as I watched, I let go of the curtain line that the child was holding on to.
“Ahhhhh!”
Why are you yelling at the subject of running away?
It was just half an interest. Perhaps one of the reasons is that the headache that bothered him stopped after he found the child.
The child he saved was crouching heavily.
‘You look like a squirrel rolling around.’
The child, who crouched at the thought of falling, suddenly opened her eyes.
He saw for the first time such a clean, red-eyed child.
“Oh, thank you!”
When I dropped the surprised child to the ground, the child bowed down and stopped.
Melkiade thought she was afraid because she recognized him.
It was a familiar.
Nevertheless, by the time he was self-motivated by the rare child’s reaction, he found the idea to be an illusion.
“Melkiade!”
The child, who was fearless and called the emperor’s name, trembled from the emotion.
“Who are you?”
‘Am I interested in the arrogant behavior because I was surprised to see her running away even though she recognized me?’
“I asked who are you. “
The child trembled unanswered.
I wondered if she was trying to find out what she had done and ask for forgiveness…
“Daddy!”
A totally unexpected remark popped up.
It was the first time in his life that he had been so flustered.
The strange body temperature that hugged him was strange. a stifling, chilling body temperature
The temperature felt as unfamiliar as the child was pleased.
Do you have any objection to all that?
“….Who’s your father?”
“Hehe. Dad.”
It was ridiculous.
Suddenly, the hugging child was so confident that he could seriously consider whether I really had a hidden daughter.4
The child, who was firmly attached to him even though he tried to drop her, suddenly threatened him.
“Daddy, wait. ‘Cause I’ll go get my dad soon!’
You’re coming to get it? Him?
The child, who was smiling brightly, went back to the room shouting loudly.
I didn’t know at that time how the more memorable remark would come true later.
* * * * *
‘It was then.’
How would he know that the saintess would suddenly call him a father?
Waking up from a sudden thought, Melkiade stared at the twelve elders and Pope Rafael, sitting on the round table.
There was a child sitting next to Raphael, somehow intimidated.
A cheeky little girl.
She was laughing so loudly before, but now she’s avoiding his gaze, not making some noise.
“His Majesty Melkiade.”
One of the twelve elders opened his mouth.
“I heard you said you didn’t deserve to be the Saintess’ guardian.
Elder Roquel’s voice resounded in the hall.
“Is this true?”
The crying child’s eyes turned to Melkiade. Suddenly a man raised his voice.
“I should have chosen Yeha’s guardian as someone else from the start!”
