Civil Servant in a Romance Fantasy - Chapter 913



913 – God Will Be With You – 7

As I came out of the room, the priests, magicians, and doctors who went back to check on the youngest child shouted in unison.

“It’s a miracle! There was definitely something wrong with the heart, but now there’s no trace of it! It’s as clean as if it was fine from the beginning!”

This is a miracle that cannot be explained by reason or logic.

The Lord of Heaven truly listens to the prayers of the saints.

‘God’s mercy is not enough.’

Jang-saeng, who had sneaked into the room just as he had sneaked out, let out a chuckle as he recalled Jang-saeng disappearing down the hallway.

Although he is on earth, not in heaven, and is a servant, not a lord, he was once a god. So it is not wrong to say that God answered my prayer.

“There is no death on my land without my permission. May you live long.”

Jang Saeng-i’s words still lingered in my ears.

Jang-saeng, who had been whispering blessings to our youngest, licked the youngest’s cheek, and the youngest’s expression quickly brightened at the blessing of a being who was both a god and a saint.

Even though he was clearly sleeping soundly, his complexion was strangely dark. The complexion that had been frowning due to the pain in his heart had melted away in an instant.

‘I said I couldn’t contain my religious beliefs.’

When the evil gods were collected from the seal in the past, the eternal blue sky took away the divinity of the evil gods, making it impossible for them to regain their faith forever.

No matter how much you are revered, if you don’t have a vessel called divinity, you can’t become a god. Even if you are an evil god who shook the continent and caused fear, if you don’t have divinity and faith, you are just a beast that talks and has some strength.

But what is this? Jang-saeng, who lost his vessel and became a holy beast instead of an evil spirit. The word holy beast sounds good, but in the end, he was just a holy beast. But Jang-saeng, who was like that, showed off his divine power to the point of collecting the death that had taken hold of humans.

‘Should I take action?’

I was so focused on Jang Saeng-i’s unexpected appearance and the youngest’s miraculous recovery that I didn’t even think about it, but it’s not a small matter for a former evil spirit to display his power.

If Jang Saeng-i were to fully regain his power. If Enen were to regain the power of the evil god that threatened him.

…

‘Let’s move on.’

I glanced in the direction where Jang-saeng had disappeared and let out a small sigh.

Okay. Let’s move on from this. Even if Jang Saeng-i shows a glimpse of his days as an evil spirit, let’s not pursue him or come up with any measures to restrain him.

Until the youngest’s illness was cured, no one knew that Jang-saeng had such powers. Perhaps the others did the same. In other words, if Jang-saeng had deliberately tried to hide it, no one would have known about Jang-saeng’s powers. If he had hidden it and then unleashed it at a crucial moment, he would have been hit hard in the back of the head.

Nevertheless, Jangsaeng treated the youngest in front of me with confidence. He dealt with the death energy that had attached itself to the youngest and gave him the blessing of longevity, befitting his name.

‘How can you investigate when it came out like that?’

If Jang-saeng came forward with good intentions, I should also respond with good intentions. Even the former evil spirit and current beast saved the child, so it is not right for me, the child’s father, to return the favor with distrust and caution.

So this incident should pass. Even if showing off your abilities in front of me was a big picture to elicit this kind of reaction.

Even if Jang-saeng gets hit in the back of the head, let’s accept it with a smile.

It’s not a crime to betray the guy who saved my child.

‘Counterattack is a separate issue, though.’

However, Jang Saeng-i’s betrayal may not be a sin to me, but it is a great sin to the continent.

In that case, I’ll have to hit him once, and then beat him up with all my might. Enen, Eternal Blue Sky, and Constantina will probably come running with their swords dancing.

Please, let’s hope that the future will never come when Jangsaeng turns into death.

The next morning. The medical team, who had been examining the youngest until the very end, declared that the youngest had fully recovered. Thanks to this, Lize, who had been forced to separate from her newborn daughter, was able to face her again.

Although Lize’s body has not yet completely recovered from the aftermath of childbirth, she is in a situation where she can reunite with her daughter. Even her daughter, who had the same illness as her, miraculously recovered from the illness. What kind of mother can just sit still?

“Ugh, ugh, ugh…!”

Lize, who had been running so fast that it was worrying that she might fall over, looked at the youngest who was still sleeping, covered her mouth, and shook her shoulders.

I was afraid that if I cried, the youngest would wake up. I was afraid that if the youngest woke up, that calm face would be distorted in pain.

“You were worried, right? It’s okay now. Everything is fine.”

I hugged Lize so gently. I couldn’t even imagine how much pain she must be in, both physically and mentally.

“Ku, this isn’t a dream, is it? It’s really, really better, isn’t it?”

“Really. The priest, wizard, and doctor all agreed, so I’m sure. Tricky even checked it out herself in the middle of the night.”

If I were a living adult and prayed for a miracle, Trixie, as the pinnacle of magic, would have brainstormed with wizards to find a cure. Maybe even if she hadn’t been a long-liver, she would have been cured after a few years─ I thought.

Tricky tried that hard for the youngest. She showed her sincerity for a short time to solve the youngest’s illness, and since it was obvious that Lize would despair if she rashly declared a full recovery and then changed her mind, she checked the youngest at the nano level.

“You’re really healed. I’m so glad, I’m so glad…”

As a result, Trixie shed tears before her biological mother, Lize.

“T, this is not right. Lize should cry before me.”

But she ran away to her room, saying that it was her job as a biological mother to share the joy of her recovered daughter.

Anyway, all circumstances point to the youngest’s full recovery. There is no possibility that Lize will be disappointed, and there is even less chance that the youngest will do something wrong.

“Our youngest… Mom, is this the last time I surprise you?”

Only then did Lize smile brightly. Tears still formed in her eyes, but her expression was brighter than ever.

“…Thank you, brother.”

“huh?”

“I heard that my brother kept praying. Since it was my brother’s prayer, the gods must have listened.”

I couldn’t come up with a proper answer to that question. It’s true that I prayed, but it wasn’t Enen who answered my prayer, it was another god.

No, it’s not that he listened, but rather that he was a god who came to me of his own accord.

No, not even a god at this point. How is it that there is not a single word that fits in one sentence?

“And it seems that Enen heard my brother’s prayers and sent my sister.”

“Sister?”

It was such an unexpected remark that I couldn’t help but tilt my head.

Sister. The only people Lize calls sister are Marwa, Eri, and Fine.

“Actually, I saw Sister Hilda in my dream.”

The hand holding Lize trembled at the unexpected words.

What should I do? How should I react to such words? Unfortunately, I know more than necessary about what happened between Lize and my sister. The only original knowledge I have is Lize’s trauma and her sister’s death.

I know better than anyone what Rize’s older sister’s last words were and how shocked Rize was by those words. Although things have improved a lot since we became lovers and got married, that doesn’t mean things never happened.

“My sister was holding our youngest. That was the last thing I remember about her.”

“okay?”

“Yes. It was a picture of a child holding a child. How cute. If my sister had lived and gotten married and had children, it would have been like that.”

Lize muttered bitterly and carefully stroked the youngest’s cheek.

Then, the youngest wrinkled his nose as if it was ticklish. At that sight, both Lize and I burst out laughing.

“She was holding him with all her heart. She comforted the youngest who was crying, sang a lullaby, and walked around the room in case he was bored. My older sister was also smiling because she liked her youngest.”

“My nephew is cute. I can play with Robert and Eduard all day long.”

“That’s right. But I thought you would hate my children like I do.”

Lize said that and let out a chuckle.

“But he took good care of me. After playing with me for a while, he kissed my forehead and left me in the cradle. I woke up at that time too. And I heard the news that my youngest had fully recovered.”

‘ah.’

It was such an exquisite dream that I couldn’t help but exclaim in admiration.

Indeed. If that is the case, it is reasonable to think that the older sister visited. Even the older sister took care of her child with all her heart, and when she woke up from her dream, she heard the news of her child’s recovery. So it is not strange to think that the older sister cured her.

“I was a bad and ugly younger sibling to my older sister. But I guess my older sister still thought of me as a younger sibling.”

“Do you think I’d just think about it? I came down from heaven, where I live comfortably, to take care of my nephew because I like him.”

“Is that so?”

At my words, Lize’s smile grew even deeper.

In fact, it is likely an ordinary dream. Since Jang-saeng cured the youngest, Lize’s dream may have been a dream that came true because of the burden of the disease that ‘she and her older sister had’ being passed on to her child.

If you really want to know the truth, just ask Jang-saeng. How could a guy who has dealt with the spirit of death not see a single soul? If there was a ghost of my sister nearby, Jang-saeng would know. If you ask him about it, he will give you the answer right away.

‘There’s no need for that.’

But that wasn’t the case. I didn’t go forward to find out the truth.

Lize already thinks that her older sister has already left. From now on, I will also think that our sister-in-law has left after protecting the youngest.

Because that’s the way for everyone.

To celebrate the youngest’s recovery, the father-in-law and mother-in-law prepared a heartfelt banquet filled with tears and joy.

It’s only natural. My granddaughter was born with the same disease that my two daughters had, but she recovered completely soon after. It feels like giving someone a disease and then giving them medicine, but isn’t it a miracle of God?

Thanks to this, the children who had been secretly discouraged even though the adults didn’t say anything have regained their energy. The atmosphere among the adults has been serious recently, but now it has returned to a bright atmosphere.

“The weather is nice. Isn’t it?”

“Uh, um. I see.”

From noble mtl dot com

In the midst of all the commotion, I went with Jang Saeng to the lake, the hideout of the Imperial Guards.

There is no particular reason. It is to give Jang-saeng, who was suffering from the children, a break.

“Jang-saeng-ah.”

“Why is that?”

“thanks.”

At my words of thanks, Jang-saeng snorted and lay face down on the floor.

“I wouldn’t mind if you were enjoying a long life, but I couldn’t tolerate a death right before my eyes without my permission. It’s not something to be thankful for.”

“I see.”

I nodded at the blunt and proud words.

After that, he didn’t say anything. He didn’t ask me when I’d found my strength, or if I missed my past glory. He just sat blankly on the lakeside and fiddled with his fishing rod.

Jang-saeng also seemed to like the quiet and peaceful atmosphere. He fell asleep quietly, his body still curled up.

Yeah. Go to sleep. You deserve it.
