The Grand Duchess of the North Is Obsessed With Me

9 – Grand Duchess and Village Trip (6)

5 Years, it was a short life that is a bit funny to call it long.

However, that time was like hell for Illencia.

It may be a funny and strange idea for a girl who is only six years old, but at least she couldn’t help but feel it.

[The Grand Duke of the North must always be rational. You should be able to judge the situation rationally without being swept away by emotions.]

Perhaps it was because of the father’s values, which were too big for a young child.

Unlike other families that produce many children and compete with each other to succeed the family, the Duke of Dedamius’ family could only have one child in their lifetime.

It was a curse.

A kind of curse that the land of the cold northern part placed on the grand duchess who commanded it.

That’s why, even though she was born as a female, Illencia always had to fight the pressure that weighed on her.

It was virtually impossible for her to enjoy a happy and peaceful life like other children her age.

Her quick-witted and thoughtful Ilensia knew that her parents cared for her and loved her.

But apart from that, she had no choice but to close the door to her heart thanks to her father who tried to raise her to be strict and strong.

It was because she couldn’t lean on anyone or soothe her tired body and mind.

So, for the first time in her life, Illencia was agitated.

‘I have to hold on to the opposite s*x.’

Illencia’s head was screaming like that, but whenever she saw her pale Cain, who looked like her corpse, her heart was beating strongly as if something had hit her.

Illencia couldn’t control her own feelings.

It was also all because of this boy.

Yes, everything started after meeting Cain.

Her boy didn’t expect anything from her. Exactly, she was expecting something, but it was for Illencia herself and no one else.

He always looked out for himself.

She was not the Grand Duchess of the North, nor was she the golden jade of the duke’s family, nor was she the successor of the family.

Sometimes worried about getting hurt, sometimes happy to see yourself changing, sometimes with cute and lovable eyes.

He felt like a little kid when he was with him.

For the first time in Illencia’s life, she had someone she could lean on and play around with.

‘… Wake up, Cain.’

So please.

Even if I tell you not to be childish anymore, even if I tell you not to worry, as long as I have you, I can go back to the way it was before.

‘Please wake up.’

Just wake up.

Look at me like before, smile, pet me, hug me, hold my hand.

For the first time, Illencia knew what it was like to be possessive.

I don’t want to miss him. He doesn’t want to let go He looks at me completely and I want to have him.

He was always sincere and upright, he wanted to be true to this feeling in front of him, even though it may have been a shady desire for him to have.

I like it. Please stay by my side

It felt like I could say all the things I hadn’t been able to say before.

“…… Whoa.”

As the light faded from the priest’s body, which was emitting white light at Cain, he exhaled a short breath.

“Now, are you alright?!”

Illencia, awakened from her thoughts by Evan’s question, turned her head and stared at the priest.

The priest couldn’t help but shudder at her body the moment those cool eyes stared at him.

Illencia Khan Derdamius.

‘Even though he’s young, he can’t cheat his blood….’

Knowing her true identity, the priest stuck her tongue inside her and bowed her head.

“You should be fine now.”

“Haa….”

Her priest’s words finally seemed to ease her tension, and Illensia took a deep breath and sat down on her chair.

“Are you okay?”

“… Huh.”

As her tension eased, her legs relaxed as well, but Illensia was finally relieved.

“How is Master Cain’s condition?”

Berman took care of Illencia, who was sitting in her chair because her leg was loose, and then she asked about Cain’s condition.

The priest flinched at Berman’s sharp eyes and carefully opened his mouth to explain his condition.

“Actually… It wasn’t too bad before I came here.”

“… She must have been run over by a carriage. But are you okay?”

Berman frowned at the priest’s words.

The priest, who was contemplating whether or not to speak her words, chose her words in his mind, as it could have led to doubts about the words of the Grand Duchess.

Illensia also narrowed her fine forehead at the words of her priest.

“I’m sure you were shocked… That is….”

The priest opened his mouth after a moment of silence, but scratched the back of his head as if he wasn’t sure.

When Illencia, who was saddened by that sight, thumped her feet, Berman, who noticed it, calmed her eyes a little and asked calmly.

“It’s okay, so let’s talk slowly.”

“… All right.”

The priest gave a small nod to Berman, glanced at Cain, and then opened his mouth again.

“I need to find out more about the exact details, but it seems that Master Cain’s body protected himself from the impact and healed his wounds.”

“…… Do you think that makes sense?”

“I can’t believe it when I say it… Has Master Hawke ever trained her sword or body?”

At the priest’s question, Illencia and Berman shook their heads at the same time.

In the case of children from aristocratic families, it was common to learn a little bit of sword or magic from an early age, but Cain was different.

He was almost not interested in that side at all, and even if he wasn’t on the side of using his body, Cain’s head was soaring.

Of course, it was because Cain had memories of his previous life, but others who did not know that fact secretly thought he was a genius… I just thought.

“… If that’s the case, it’s really strange.”

“Do not hesitate and tell me!”

Illensia raised her voice and urged him, perhaps frustrated by the hesitant appearance of the priest.

It was because when I told him clearly what Cain’s condition was like, I became impatient with Cain’s self-interested appearance.

“… Sorry.”

“My lady, you were so excited. Calm down.”

As Illencia’s priest’s body stiffened at her voice, Berman gently comforted her.

Illencia still didn’t like her, but she exhaled, catching her breath and forcing herself to calm down.

“Tell me.”

“Princess Cain seems to have converted all the mana in his body into recovery. In case of impact, it seems that the impact was minimized by instinctively expanding the contact area.”

“… I can’t believe it easily.”

“Yes, me too….”

Turn all the mana in the body to recovery naturally, not consciously, and minimize the impact?

Berman found it difficult to believe the priest’s words.

That’s like.

“Master Cain seems to have a natural talent for nothingness. It’s difficult to make a conclusion, but….”

“You are a genius.”

Berman took over the priest’s words. The priest nodded affirmatively at Berman’s words.

At the same time, everyone’s eyes turned to Cain, who was lying on the bed.

Humans have a certain amount of mana in their bodies from the time they are born. The total amount varies from person to person, but everyone is born with a certain amount.

Learning how to use it is part of learning magic or practicing a sword.

However, it meant that Cain naturally learned how to use mana even though he had never learned swords or magic.

The way to protect the body was also the same.

Instinctively twisting the body to expand the contact area to minimize impact.

‘… It’s easy to say.’

Berman thought with his eyes shining.

It may not sound like much in words, but it has never been easy.

It’s hard to believe that an uneducated adult did that, but Cain was only six years old.

For a six-year-old to handle mana and know how to use her body meant one thing.

“Maybe Balenciaga has a sword genius….”

A voice like a small sigh escaped Berman’s mouth. At the same time, Berman knew.

That boy who is small but strong now could become one of the swords symbolizing the empire in the future.

And if your predictions are correct.

Then.

You must bring him into the Derdamius family.

If he could do that, it was only a matter of time before he could win the war against the barbarians who always threatened the north beyond the land of the north.

“Uh… I’m sorry, but I don’t like that.”

“Why? I am also a knight with a good knowledge of swords. It would be bad if you learn from me….”

“Just.”

I put an awkward smile on Berman, Illencia’s escort knight, who was looking at me with an expression of disbelief, and I finished his words.

“I am not very interested in swords.”

Along with my words, Berman made an expression as if the world had collapsed.
