How the Reincarnation Seat Destroys the Original - Chapter 9
Only Noblemtl
Episode 9. Listen to me.
There was a minor commotion at the temple of Janus, and the priests who had gathered around to hear the screams blocked the way.
As soon as Kael took out his purple chain, they parted in two like the miracle of the Red Sea, opening up a path for them.
As expected, the law is far away, but the fist is close.
After boarding the carriage, Mabel asked, still holding the envelope containing the excommunication documents in her arms with a big smile on her face.
“When I return home, will I be officially adopted into the family?”
“If adoption were that easy, there would be no reason for me to come get the excommunication papers.”
“In the novel, if you say, ‘You, be my daughter,’ you get adopted, right?”
… What kind of novel did you read?
Mabel pretended to ignore the sight of Kael’s eyes growing cold in real time. She looked around.
“Ha, the adoption process in this world is complicated.”
With a sigh, he began to explain the ‘adoption process’ to the child.
Unlike the excommunication documents that can be resolved with money.
Surprisingly, the ‘adoption process’ in this world was as complicated as he said. Just the documents required before adoption were more than ten.
“First of all. The excommunication papers you have are also one of the documents required for adoption.”
In addition, a mutual consent form between the person wishing to adopt a child and the person to be adopted, a property certificate proving that there is enough property to raise the child, a report explaining why you decided to adopt according to the six principles of adoption, a future parenting plan, etc.
“After you’ve filled out the aforementioned documents and submitted them to the palace, the basic procedures will be complete once you have an interview. There will still be a few more home investigations.”
“Why is it so complicated? It seems more complicated than my previous life.”
Mabel looked as if she was fed up with the feast of information that was not included in the original work.
It was less complicated about 100-200 years ago.
However, he did not specifically say that the emperors had added one or two conditions to the adoption process, which led to the current situation, and that the cause was none other than himself.
?Count Damie. Wouldn’t it be better to get married??
?Wouldn’t it be nice for you to marry our princess??
?How strange. Why do you want to inherit the title through adoption? If it were you, noble daughters would be lining up.?
These were the words spoken to him by the emperors of the past who are no longer of this world.
“There’s still a long way to go….”
Mabel’s expression darkened as if a light had been turned off as she accepted the reality. Kael said indifferently, looking at the child’s gloomy expression.
“Once the paperwork is processed, it will be faster than you think.”
“Kael looks so familiar. Like someone I’ve adopted.”
Mabel’s words were quite sharp, not knowing that he had been reincarnated for a thousand years. If only it weren’t for the fact that the other person had been asked this question more than once or twice and had a suitable excuse.
“Because the Damie family passed their titles to their adopted children more often than to their blood relatives.”
Without even suspecting the excuses that flowed naturally like water, the child asked another question.
“Then is Kael also adopted?”
“no.”
“I thought I would become an adopted child like the reincarnated one. I guess it might be a little disappointing!”
“I refuse to increase my sense of belonging any further.”
Even as they talked, the carriage continued to move, and another three days passed.
A rare rain at this time of year slowed their movement, and the two were only able to arrive at the Countess Damie’s home on the night of the sixth day after they had left.
The rain was still falling, falling beneath the clouds that obscured even the moonlight, and in front of the Count’s house, the general butler and Hugo, who was also the Count’s assistant, were waiting for him, holding large umbrellas.
The carriage door opened, and Kael emerged first from the carriage. Hugo approached him, tilting his umbrella to protect him from the rain, and bowed his head slightly as he spoke.
“Welcome back, master.”
“Take what’s behind you.”
What’s behind you?
As I raised my head at my master’s words, I saw a figure floating upright just as he was passing through the open carriage door, and the figure moved and entered his arms.
Are you dreaming about eating something delicious?
Mabel was smacking her lips with a happy expression, holding an envelope in her hand that had been crumpled for three days.
“You go in first.”
“Master! The umbrella is…!”
“How many times do I have to tell you that you don’t need an umbrella?”
Tsk. Kael clicked his tongue lightly and got out of the umbrella.
For him who can use magic, it is easy to stop the rain. As I said before, my aide always comes out to greet me with an umbrella on a rainy day.
Seriously, my aide was really disobedient.
“It’s a simple matter if you block it with magic.”
He spoke softly, whether grumbling or simply mumbling, and used his magical power to easily block the rain on his head.
“Are you going to the bedroom?”
“No. I’m going to the office. You’ve prepared the documents, right?”
“Yes. I have prepared all the necessary documents for the young lady’s adoption and placed them on the master’s desk.”
“Just put the child to bed and come back.”
“yes.”
As he finished saying that, Kael, who was about to take a step, stopped moving for a moment before he could even take a step.
“Master? Do you have anything else to say?”
“… You have a habit of pulling the blanket over your head.”
Even though I gave it to him, there were no further words to follow.
Hugo answered with a kind smile that would have made Kael ask, “Why are you making that face again?”
“I will cover you with a blanket and take you to the office.”
As soon as Kael, who was walking through the rain without looking back, disappeared from sight, Hugo also walked quietly so as not to wake the little girl in his product.
Meanwhile, he returned home to his hometown earlier and faster than anyone else and headed straight to his office.
When he saw that new papers had piled up on his desk while he was away, he sighed, changed into comfortable clothes, and sat down in his chair.
“I went and processed quite a lot of paperwork….”
Before leaving for the Temple of Janus.
Even though I was working on the documents while cutting back on sleep, these documents kept coming in numbers like flies on a summer day.
The only good thing was that Hugo had sorted the documents by type. He scanned the top pages of the documents and the first document he picked up was the ‘Adoption Consent Form’.
“I’d rather end this quickly than listen to you whining.”
He was sure that Mabel, who had been constantly coming to him and bothering him until he went to the Temple of Janus to get the excommunication papers, would use these papers as an excuse to bother him this time, so he started to process the adoption papers before any other papers.
– Square, square.
The sound of a quill pen filling out a piece of paper without hesitation echoed throughout the office, and the next document that came out after the adoption consent form was an ‘adoption plan’.
“… How did you write it before?”
Since I had quite a bit of experience raising adopted children, I thought it would be easy to write a plan, but it turned out to be difficult to write the plan because of that reason. It was because I had to write it differently from the plans that my family had previously submitted.
– Charuk.
With the sound of chains clinking, Kael took out a book that he had been holding for quite some time and that he should have torn to shreds and burned.
He began to write a new plan, referring to the plan I had previously written in a book that contained the records of all my reincarnations and where the records of my regressions were still being written.
– Smart.
“Master, may I come in?”
“Come in.”
Despite the notification that Hugo was coming in, Kael did not hide the book, and the newcomer to the office moved his body as if he did not notice the book floating in the air, connected to a purple chain that seemed to pierce his master’s heart.
Hugo’s arm passed right through the book as he placed the freshly brewed tea on the desk where Kael was sitting.
As I looked at his arm, Hugo noticed my gaze and asked while examining my arm.
“Do you have something on my arm?”
“Oh, it looks like there’s dust on it. I guess I saw something wrong.”
The fact that it was a book that only he could see and touch was a new and unfamiliar fact to him, but he wondered if Mabel could see it since it was a book about reincarnation and return.
I guess I’ll have to check it out sometime soon.
“You were processing the young lady’s paperwork first.”
Kael asked the question, keeping his tongue from stretching out on a word that contained the hidden meaning that he knew it would be like that.
“What documents does Mabel need to fill out?”
“I kept it separately.”
“Bring me to my office after breakfast tomorrow.”
“Aren’t you going to eat breakfast together?”
Instead of answering, Hugo replied, “I will bring your breakfast to the office, Master,” as Kael’s gaze turned to the papers that took up nearly half of the desk.
As he nodded in satisfaction at the answer, a thought flashed through his mind and he looked at Hugo.
“By the way. Does Mabel know how to write?”
“I saw you reading a book you brought from the library.”
It meant that he could read.
But what was needed now was ‘writing’.
“What about writing?”
“… I have never seen anything written separately, and I have not received any reports on it.”
Silence fell on the office, and a heavy sigh escaped Kael’s lips.
The next day.
Mabel appeared in her office, patting her full stomach from breakfast.
Just like yesterday, Kael was looking over his previous life records in another world and finalizing his adoption papers when he raised his head. He could see a short, round finger pointing at him.
To be exact, he pointed his finger towards the area near his heart where the chain connected to the book was. Kael opened his mouth, realizing that one of the questions he had been pondering was being answered.
“Hugo.”
“Please call me when you need me. I will be waiting up front.”
When Hugo, who had brought the child, disappeared, Kael placed a sound-blocking spell around the entire office to prevent any sound from escaping, and called Hugo’s name followed by the child’s name.
“Mabel.”
“Hey, is that okay on your chest?!”
What mattered to him now was not the fact that he could see a book that no one had seen for a thousand years.
I guess I’ll be able to see it anyway.
That was exactly what I had guessed.
“You. Can you write?”
“No, that’s not important right now!!! Kael. You have a chain on your chest!!!”
“I asked if you could write.”
“chain!”
– Crunch.
Kael ended up breaking the quill he was holding.
“The chain will explain itself… so listen to what the person has to say.”
