How the Reincarnation Seat Destroys the Original - Chapter 118



Only Noblemtl

Episode 118. The Birth of the Sword Master (1).

Kael, who had returned to Damie’s home, was struggling with the piled up documents. Except for the more documents than usual, it was no different from any other time.

Kael, who was checking the documents, looked at the clock hanging on the wall for a moment, checked the time, and put down the quill he was holding.

– Smart.

As the second and minute hands of the clock pointed exactly to 3 o’clock, a knock on the office door rang out as if it had been waiting for it.

Soon the door opened and a tiny, pink head poked out.

“Kael!”

After returning from the palace, Kael’s daily routine changed slightly. Every day at 3 o’clock, Mabel would come to his office and use her divine powers on him.

Mabel, who came to see him again today, pulled the small chair that was placed next to the desk where Kael was sitting, sat down next to him, and held out her small hand.

Kael placed his hand on top of the small hand extended to me and opened his mouth as he looked at the warm light enveloping my hand.

“My body has already fully recovered.”

“Divine power also helps with fatigue recovery! And other people worry less too.”

The fact that Mabel could use divine powers was already well known to the servants within the Damier household.

Also, it was true that it helped with fatigue recovery, as Mabel had said. Even now, when I touched the warm light, I felt some of the fatigue that had accumulated in my body disappear.

Thanks to that, the magical power that was expected to take a long time to recover was restored to a level that was hard to believe for someone who had collapsed from magical power exhaustion just a few days ago.

“Okay!”

After about five minutes, Mabel let go of Kael’s hand, and Kael felt the warmth of their hands slowly cooling down, and he repeatedly squeezed and released his own hand.

Mabel stared at Kael like that, and he met the child’s eyes and said indifferently.

“Even if you look at it that way, the human face is still unbreakable.”

“Why won’t Kael’s dark circles go away?”

Kael’s eyes blinked slowly at my sudden mention of dark circles. Mabel looked at his face, or more precisely, the area under his eyes, with a very serious expression.

“I’m receiving divine power every day, so it’s bound to fade a bit.”

“It’s not really important.”

“What! It’s only been about 4 days! If you keep getting it, Kael’s dark circles will disappear completely one day!”

As she finished speaking, Mabel jumped down from the chair she was sitting in and instead of going straight out of the office, she headed towards the soft sofa and low table in the center.

Mabel, sitting on the sofa, took out a fairly thick book from the bag she was carrying, and Kael’s gaze turned to the front of the book.

“Tea Party Basics Every Lady Should Know.”

Mabel, who returned to her hometown of Damie, also returned to her life as before, and the classes she had not been taking for a while resumed.

I heard you’re learning about tea parties these days, and it looks like it’s a textbook you’ll be using in class.

“Is it okay if I do my homework and go?”

“Aren’t you going to do it with Lily?”

When he mentioned Lily’s name, who was taking classes with Mabel, the child took out a quill, ink, and paper from her bag and answered his question.

“What we’re learning now is a tea party, and the topic is the same, but it’s a little different. Lily is learning about making tea herself, and we’re getting a more practical lesson, while I’m learning about how to drink tea and the etiquette to follow at a tea party. So the homework is different!”

“I see.”

Certainly, Kael understood that Mabel’s role and Lily’s role at the tea party were different, so he reached for the papers he had put down.

Within the office, only the steady sound of a quill pen scraping across paper echoed.

“Kael, have you heard from His Majesty the Emperor?”

How much time has passed?

Mabel asked Kael without stopping her hands, and Kael answered while continuing to check the papers.

“They told me to visit the palace tomorrow anyway.”

“Did the ambassador come back to see you?”

Kael’s hand paused for a moment. After returning to the Damier household, two days later, he secretly visited the High Priest Matthias at the Temple of the Beginning.

Now that he had been wearing a leash for a while, he would be careful, but he never knew when or how people would change. Just as the saying goes that even a mouse will bite a cat when cornered, Kael could not completely rule out the possibility that he would mention the identity of Idea in a way that said, “You die, I die,” and made an unbreakable oath with Matthias.

“Yes, I have taken measures to ensure that no one can mention Idea.”

Mabel let out a small sigh of relief at his answer.

“Now all that’s left is the Idea response team and the second disaster?”

“It hasn’t been long since Lars passed his second trial, so he should have some free time for a while.”

Mabel’s hands, which had been moving without rest, stopped.

Lars passed the second trial about three days before he left the Temple of the Beginning, five days after Kael had been unconscious, and four days after he returned to the Damier household… .

“It’s been almost two weeks.”

Considering that it takes at least two to four weeks from passing the ordeal to the disaster, it is hard to think that there was any leeway, but in the original work, the second disaster appeared after almost the full four weeks, which is the maximum period.

“As you know, the second trial has clearer signs than the first, so I’ll let you know when I get information about that.”

Mabel nodded and signed the papers, and Kael added.

“Worrying about useless things will only make things worse. I understand what you’re worried about, but the priority right now is the Idea Response Team.”

Both Kael and Mabel were already aware that the original was being distorted. Therefore, it was not at all strange that the disaster was either brought forward or delayed in the distorted original.

It was the former that Mabel was worried about.

Unlike the first disaster, which was resolved by developing a cure, the second disaster was in some ways even more enormous… a ‘natural disaster’ that was difficult to prevent with human power.

The sunset reflected in the office window, and Mabel, who had been concentrating on her homework again, slumped back against the chair, holding a rather thick wad of paper.

“It’s-over!”

The voice shouting that she had just finished her homework was full of joy, as if she had completely forgotten about the impending disaster that had just come.

At that voice, Kael’s gaze turned to Mabel, and Mabel, sensing his gaze, smiled.

“Shall I show you?”

“I’m not interested.”

Mabel approached him, completely oblivious to his rejection, and with light steps approached the desk, handing over the bundle of papers she was holding.

Kael’s gaze alternated between the document that had shrunk considerably in size and the bundle of papers that had been held out to him, and he soon accepted the bundle of papers.

“Tea Party Planner.”

“The assignment I was given this time was to write a plan for a tea party that I wanted to host. At tea parties here, people just drink tea and talk about various things, so the tea party I planned was….”

As Kael read through the tea party plan he had written, Mabel began to tell him in detail why she had planned this and what kind of tea party she would like to host.

Kael thought that the appearance was just like a pink chick and after reading the last page carefully, he returned the plan to the child and said.

“You wrote it quite well. I think the teacher would be satisfied with that.”

“really?”

“I don’t need to lie to you.”

Mabel’s cheeks turned red at his words that were nothing short of praise, and she hugged her plan book back to her as if it were something precious, then returned and carefully put it back in her bag.

As I was cleaning up the messy table from my homework, there was a knock on the door with perfect timing.

– Smart.

“Master, a guest has arrived.”

It was Hugo’s voice.

Kael, who knew the identity of the guest who had visited at an hour when dinner was almost over, opened his mouth and nodded to Mabel as if telling her to go now.

“Come in.”

The door opened and the guest who appeared with Hugo was a blond man with red eyes. Mabel’s eyes widened at the appearance of this person who looked like Adrina, who accompanied Lars, only with a different gender.

“Hello, Viscount Damie.”

“It’s been a long time since I’ve seen you, Sir Eden.”

The guest who came to see Kael was none other than the commander of the Imperial Knights, Eden. He smiled faintly at his words and slightly bowed his head. Then, he saw Mabel, who had arrived at the office first, and greeted the child.

“Nice to meet you, Young Lady of Damie. My name is Eden, the Commander of the Imperial Knights. You may call me Sir Eden.”

“Hello, Sir Eden, my name is Mabel Du Damier.”

Imperial Knight Commander, Eden.

With his occupation and name, Mabel could immediately understand why he resembled Adriana.

Because it was Eden, who was right in front of her and her blood-related younger brother, who took over as the Commander of the Imperial Knights after Adrina, the former Commander of the Imperial Knights who appeared very briefly in the original work.

“Well then, I’ll be heading back now. You two can talk comfortably!”

Mabel bowed politely, holding onto the hem of her dress, and headed out of the office with Hugo.

“You’re a cute girl. I’m worried I might have interrupted the cozy time between father and daughter.”

“It’s not really something you need to worry about. Sit down.”

Kael got up and moved to the sofa where Mabel had been sitting, and Eden also sat down across from him.

“Have you heard the story from His Majesty the Emperor?”

“Yes, I heard that there is someone that Count Damie would like me to look after.”

After returning to the Viscount Damier, Kael exchanged letters with Emperor Bastian.

The number of people from the temple who would be part of the Idea response team was as expected: Lars, Cloris, and Adrina.

The imperial side also had to bring two people, excluding Kael, to match the number of people on the temple side.

The first person mentioned was Eden, the commander of the Imperial Knights, but since his rank was just a rank, it was difficult to put him as a member of the Idea response team, as he was responsible for the overall safety of the palace and the capital.

“I wasn’t told who you wanted me to look after, but could you tell me who I should look after?”

“My knight escort, Tariq. He has learned to wield the sword, but he is not yet a sword master.”

The next person mentioned was Tariq, Kael’s knight escort.

“The mercenary king…?”

When Eden asked again, a faint smile appeared on Kael’s lips.

“That’s right. You must help Tariq reach the level of Sword Master.”
