This Three-Year-Old Is A Villainess - Chapter 139

“……”
“……”
He stared at me breathlessly.
He had become so gaunt and rough that I almost couldn’t recognize him as the person I knew.
He slowly walked over and slumped down beside the bed.
“I prayed to God for the first time.”
“……”
“As long as He wouldn’t take you, I’d do anything… anything.”
As he held my hand, his face painfully twisted, and soon tears began to fall.
In a room full of servants and soldiers, he cried out of concern for me.
“Daddy.”
“……”
“Daddy… uhuhu.”
Right after I woke up in this dominion, I remembered the clumsy letter my father sent before he died in my first life.
The letter was sent on the day my father died.
What was he thinking as he died?
The twins approached me.
Both were shedding tears.
“I won’t call you baby anymore. I won’t do anything you hate.”
“I’ve always regretted calling you illegitimate before.”
You were so little.
Why did I hate you so much in my first life?
After all, it was you who embraced me in the last moments of my first life.
“Big Bwothus, I wuv you.”
“……!”
“……!”
“I weally weally wuv you.”
My family looked at me.
“Daddy too, and Big Bwothus, and Ensho and Hei-yi, Bwetty, and Mikewan too… I…”
I’m so happy to be back.
Truly.

As word got out that I had recovered, gifts flooded in.
From the maids of the ducal palace, Deianira and Riantine.
Deianira sent a bunch of herbs said to recharge vitality.
—Deianira, who’s wishing you a swift recovery.
The letter was soaked through with how happy she was.
Riantine sent a teddy bear.
—Riantine, who came fifth in the intermediate class this time
She wrote the letter casually, but the tail end of the letter was wet.
‘She’s such a tsundere too.’
And then I glanced at another tsundere guy, Han Ji-hyuk, with blurred eyes.
“Stop cwying aweady.”
“I’m not crying! Something just got in my eye!”
“Uh-huh, owkay. Bwut what about my bunny?”
“It was hard enough to save you from that explosion, let alone anything else.”
“…Esposhun?”
Han Ji-hyuk nodded.
He asked if I was unaware, then explained the events that had transpired.
After I collapsed, there had been several unexplained explosions at the shrine.
‘It’s the Holy Grail.’
I had heard that sacred artifacts explode when they exhaust their power.
Fortunately, everyone had managed to evacuate before the explosion’s full force, and only the building was destroyed.
“There was someone with the Blessing of <Teleportation>.”
“I know, Coushin Bwizen.” (I know, Cousin Blitzen.)
He’s one of only two boys in the advanced class among the third generation.
“They say you were consumed by the miasma released before the explosion?”
It wasn’t miasma but the aftereffects of a curse being lifted.
‘How strong was that curse?’
It was unbelievable.
Sighing, I suddenly sat up and exclaimed,
“Thwe bwessing shones!”
“I’ve kept them safe for you.”
The voice came from outside the door.
Startled, I looked over to see Michelan and Conrad standing by the door.
It was Conrad who had spoken.
“Conwad…”
“I went to investigate the destroyed shrine and found it. Luckily, I was the first to find it and managed to secure every piece.”
“…”
Conrad’s eyes were different than usual.
While usually just tender when looking at me, now they seemed to see right through me.
‘This is how others see Conrad.’
I hesitated and then spoke,
“Uh, um, I onwy heawd wumuhs about bwessing shones…” (Uh, um, I only heard rumors about blessing stones…)
“They belong to you, Miss.”
“Huh?”
Conrad closed his eyes tightly and let out a deep sigh.
“May I come in?”
“Yes…”
Michelan and Conrad entered the room.
Michelan closed the door with a click.
“I will reveal my secret to you, Miss.”
