Chapter 175
TL: Zimming
[I can’t say it.]
He can’t say it? Not that he won’t say it?
‘So it must be constrained.’
As I thought about it, a conclusion was naturally drawn.
Even if the world is turned upside down, there is only one being who dares to restrain the devil.
‘God.’
Pur, who could read my thoughts, lifted its head, which had almost sunk to the floor.
[It’s an amazing person.]
“What?”
[Few people believe in God. Don’t humans only believe in what they see?]
“There are devils, how could there be no God? And there are many people who believe in God these days. Even when they can’t eat they would still donate to the temple.”
[It is. A lot of ti has changed since that person’s ti.]
Kiii-!!!
The mont it mumbled soone’s na, a sharp sound ran through my mind. As the sound kept reverberating in my brain, I sat down and took a deep breath.
“Ugh…….”
[Huh? Huh? Hey!]
Pur was startled and stood up. I rubbed my tingly ears.
‘What is it?’
I felt like my whole body was pounding. My already exhausted body beca even more painful, but this made one thing clear.
‘It’s not Neliard’s God.’
There was no one who did not know the na of God Neliard who was worshiped in the temple. It won’t be that God because anyone could call Neliard’s God na easily without feeling pain. Does that an that the na Pur said was the evil God?
‘But why did Pur, who worships evil God, belong to the family of Mina, the child of Neliard God?’
I sighed and shook my head.
“If we have etwal, can you beco a family’s possession without the need for the devil’s opinion?”
Pur, who was approaching , flinched and stopped walking.
[N, no! You are mistaken!]
“I think it’s true.”
I smiled and pulled out Chalcedonia from my pocket. Then Pur ran to screaming [No!] in my head. But before Pur could touch it, I got onto the bed with the Chalcedonia.
“If not, why are you so surprised?”
[That…that! Anyways, it’s not it.]
“Yes, okay.”
When I sneakily brought the Chalcedonia to the Etwal, Pur said,
[I will change my wish! No need for your heart… No… ah, yes. A single strand of your hair…!]
“It’s already too late. I don’t have the strength to keep you any longer.”
Having said that, I put the Chalcedonia on my Etwal. Then, the Chalcedonia was reduced to a size that would fit in the slope on the Etwal.
[No!]
As soon as I put Chalcedonia in the Etwal, it shone. And not long after…
“No way. How can I beco a mber of a human family…This is sothing that didn’t happen even in the days of that person…”
“Pur?”
“I told you not to call that!”
A little boy with horns on his head wept. It looked completely different from the human body I had seen before.
‘Is this what it looks like?’
I stroked Pur’s head, who was crying, with a happy face.
“Please take good care of from now on.”
“Go to hell!”
“Yes, yes. I’m gonna go to hell. But aren’t you hungry as a human being? It would be cold if you were naked, so shouldn’t you put on your clothes first?”
“…Why are you being so kind? You’re a bad kid.”
Pur looked at skeptically, and I smiled kindly.
“I’m a bad kid, but I’m nice to my people.”
How could I be an to you when I have so much to take advantage of?
“So, what can you do?”
Pur looked at with a worried look on its face. It reluctantly opened its mouth,
‘Hmm, so when it becos soone’s family mber, it has no choice but to be obedient?’
It would be perfect for slavery.
‘Cool.’
I looked at my new lottery with ecstatic eyes.

The day after making Pur be mine, I ran down the stairs with a happy face after a long ti.
“You’re in a good mood today, Lady.”
“Yes!”
The servants laughed seeing .
‘Not only am I happy, my divine power has begun to recover as well.’
I humd and headed to the drawing room. When I peeked from the door, my aunt was with Cecilia. My aunt looked at Cecilia with a displeased expression.
“You beco an empress candidate… I went away for a while and this happened?”
“I am well aware of your relationship. How dare I, a humble person, aim for the position of the empress. I’m just a tool for Dubblede-”
“It’s not about that. It’s about you.”
“…….”
“Can you survive?”
In an instant, Cecilia’s eyes widened. Cecilia had a puzzled expression on her face as if she had co prepared to be rebuked by my aunt.
“My aunt looks very cold, but she’s actually kind!”
Cecilia and my aunt burst into laughter at the sa ti after I said that.
“Yes, I am kind. Especially to my cutie.”
My aunt pinched my cheek slightly.
‘We’ve beco very close.’
My aunt was kinder to than to my brothers. Cecilia then smiled and said playfully,
“Javelin’s fans would be very envious hearing it. By the way, why is my lady wearing outdoor clothes?”
“I will go with you to the palace.”
Not everyone could participate in the empress selection. Only outstanding won who have been recomnded by noble families can participate. Usually, the recomnded ladies will enter the palace together with the family or guardian that recomnded them and helped them.
“Why did…”
“It’s better for her, now the symbol of Dubblede, to attend in my place, as I was only the substitute for the Duchess’ place before. Also, my cutie is cunning like a snake and brave like a lion.”
My aunt rubbed my cheek and said that, I smiled innocently in front of my aunt and secretly exchanged glances with Cecilia.
‘Even though the Empress Dowager and Empress Yvonne will interfere, I will definitely make Cecilia the empress.’
***
However, the enemies were not only the Empress Dowager and Empress Yvonne. I burst into laughter when I saw an incident that occurred even before the event started.
“I, I’m sorry, Lady! Please kill !”
The servant, who spilled wine on Cecilia’s dress, knelt down. The eyes of the people there, including the participants, were focused on us. So ca to us and chid in,
“Oh my.”
“Are you okay? The royal family will co soon…”
A lady with red hair up sighed and glanced at Cecilia’s face.
‘Oh hey. It’s you.’
Gloria Amboise. She’s the daughter of Marquis Amboise. My godmother said that she was supported by Empress Dowager.
“The Empress Dowager has put Yvonne as an empress. In the beginning, Yvonne was respectful to the Empress Dowager, who allowed her to enter the palace, but after she monopolized the power in the palace, she was a thorn in the Empress Dowager’s eyes.”
“So, the Empress Dowager tried to push Empress Yvonne away by using Lady Amboise?”
“You’re clever, child.”
The other ladies also had sad expressions on their faces, but they couldn’t hide the hostility that was in their eyes. There are many ladies with different backgrounds sent to compete.
So are supported by the Empress Dowager like Lady Amboise, so are supported by other noble families, and even the temple. This place was like a battlefield without sword fights as everyone had their own desires. Lady Amboise said while gently covering her crooked lips with a fan.
“What to do? It is supposed to be an outdoor party, but if you go to change clothes, His Majesty the Emperor and Empress Dowager will arrive already.”
Then the other young ladies raised their eyebrows and added,
“Even so, isn’t it not polite to see them in that state?”
“Stop it, the lady would know. Even a commoner would know that they cannot see his majesty like that.”
“Lady Amboise! How could you say that in front of Lady Dubblede!”
“Oh my, please forgive my mistake lady.”
It was a mockery of Cecilia, who was not an aristocrat and as an orphan.
‘Oh, it’s been a long ti since I’ve heard sothing like that. I love it, I love it.’
I could notice their underlying ridicule as I experienced this in my first and second life. Because back then, I was known as the fake child of fate and substitute for Mina. But Cecilia’s face was pale.
“I can understand what you’re saying to , but…!”
I quickly grabbed Cecilia’s hand. She looked at and was confused, but I smiled and said to the lady,
“Is it really a mistake?”
“Of course.”
“So every mistake should be forgiven?”
“Of course, lady.”
I grabbed a glass of juice as I looked around the ladies who couldn’t hide their ridicule seeing .
“Aah-!”
I poured my juice on Lady Amboise’s dress.
“What is this…!”
“I’m sorry, I made a mistake!”
“W, what?”
I put the glass down and wiped my hands.
“Will you forgive ? It’s a mistake.”
“No way. How could this be a mistake…!”
Just then,
“His Majesty the Emperor and Her Majesty the Empress Dowager had arrived.”
The voices of the servants, announcing their arrival, resounded. I took Cecilia’s hand and quietly retreated from the center. When the Emperor and Empress Dowager were seated on the podium, the ladies and their recomnders imdiately bowed.
“Glory to the empire.”
The Empress Dowager nodded her head with a happy expression.
“Everyone raise your heads.”
