Chapter 311: Little Princess (2/2)
Pope Margrave smiled and nodded, taking the little girl into his arm.
Leonel watched the next sequence of events with shock. Arthur and Guinevere believed that their little girl was being treated with Light Elemental magic, but this wasn't the case at all.
When he had left the eye of the family, Pope Margrave brought the little baby girl to a quiet room.
”… [Twisted World].”
Leonel watched as a surge of darkness shot up around Margrave. The room that had once been bathed in light became surrounded by darkness.
Leonel panicked slightly, thinking that the Pope was going to harm the little baby girl. He had unknowingly become attached. He even wanted to see the little baby girl become better.
However, deep inside, he knew that it was impossible. He had already been to the future. It was either this little girl died or she became…
Leonel sighed.
The latter was confirmed by what happened next. Rather than being harmed, the little girl which had been napping suddenly became lively. Her sickly little body gained some strength and even let out an adorable little giggle. It was the kind of childish laughter that could warm the heart of even the most cold individual.
She raised up her little hands, grasping at Pope Margrave's face.
Pope Margrave smiled and let the child play with his finger. He seemed to get a slight happiness from the little girl's eagerness.
Leonel finally understood.
He had watched it all from start to finish. It was true that King Arthur and Queen Guinevere had done everything they could to nurture their little baby girl. But, all this time, they had always used the Light Element. Whether it was the tonics Guinevere drank or the medicines she ate, all of them were of this element.
It wasn't really their fault. From their understanding, the Light Element was the best at healing. In their narrow world view, it was likely that if they hadn't done all of this, their little girl would have died even sooner or been even worse off.
But… the truth was that their little girl was healthy. In fact, it was their fault that she was sickly at all. Had they not been feeding her medicines from her opposing element for so long, this little girl would have been just fine. In fact, quite ironically, had they been neglectful parents, the little girl would have been in an even better position than she was now.
When the Pope came out with their little girl and the mother-father pair saw how much more lively their little girl was, they couldn't help but shed tears. Even King Arthur, who hadn't cried even when Lamorak died, felt his eyes water.
They profusely thank Pope Margrave and put their all into helping The Church grow. All of the worries Arthur had were thrown out of the window. Who cared if he was raising a wolf in his own den? As long as his baby girl was healthy, he didn't care about anything else.
Camelot celebrated as their little princess grew. The worries they had about the little one not making any appearances vanished with the wind.
Everything was perfect… until the little princess came of age and had her affinity tested…
