125 The One Who Remembers It All (2/2)
”The sky god won't stop reincarnating all the people that he could use to finish off the Moonchesters,” he said bitterly. ”This cycle will only stop once he gets his revenge against the royal family.”
”I didn't know that the sky god is a selfish jerk.”
”This is why I love witches,” he said with a soft laugh. ”You're not afraid to be cursed by gods.”
”Witches do the cursing– not the other way around.”
He laughed again. ”Ah, I should have asked you to drink booze with me instead of tea.”
”Well, as a saint, you still have a reputation to protect.”
Forrester raised his tea cup in the witch's direction. ”Luna, let's drink booze once we return from Oakes.”
”I can't say 'no' to the saint, can I?” Luna said with a smile, then she picked up her own tea cup and clinked it with his cup. ”See you later, Your Holiness.”

”MISS LUNA didn't go home last night?” Tilly asked in surprise, then she turned to Sentinel. ”What did she say before she left the tower?”
��Luna said she'll convince the saint to join your short vacation,” Sentinel said while eating Eggs Benedict– which was known as Eggs Royale in the empire.
Ah, yes.
Right now, they were in the dining hall while having breakfast.
”Don't worry too much about Miss Luna, honey,” Kiho, who was sitting in the center of the long dining table, said while making edible ice cubes for her. ”I'm sure she can take care of herself.” He turned to her and handed her the glass full of ice cubes made from his Mana. ”And we should start preparing after our breakfast. Father will come and pick us up before lunch.”
She put an ice cube in her mouth and ate it first before she spoke again. ”I hope Miss Luna returns before we leave,” she said worriedly. ”And I wonder if she managed to convince His Holiness to join us.”
”It's Miss Luna we're talking about so I'm sure that she succeeded,” her husband said confidently. ”She's strong and dependable. We can trust her.”
Hearing those words reassured her.
Yes, Miss Luna is someone we can all depend on– especially during tough times.
”Let's just wait patiently for Luna,” Sentinel said. ”I'm sure she's already on her way.”
”That's right,” Kiho said, then he gently patted her head. ”Finish your breakfast for now, honey. We can't have Father wait for long, can we?”
Tilly nodded. ”Okay, hon.”

”BY THE way, why aren't you joining the duke and duchess in their vacation?”
Luna stopped staring at the scenery outside the carriage's window to look at the saint who was sitting across from her.
Once again, she was stunned by the saint's new appearance.
To escape the temple, His Holiness had taken the form of a child. After that, she fetched him up using a rental carriage. And now, they were on their way to the Nystrom mansion.
”I have a young Fire Mage to tend to,” Luna answered after getting over her amazement by the saint's child appearance. He shrank but he still looked the same. ”I need to stay in the tower.” She snapped her fingers when she remembered something. ”Ah, right. Your Holiness, there was a baby Fire Mage that I find strange. I know that he's a Fire Mage, but for some reason, I can't read his Mana. Do you have any idea why his Mana is like that?”
Saint Forrester gave her an amused smile. ”Ah, right. I almost forgot that for a witch, you're still young.”
She didn't have a retort for that.
Well, it's true that I'm still young for a witch.
”You can't read the baby's Mana probably because he has more than one,” the saint said that shocked her. ”It just happens that fire is his dominant power.”
”That can't be,” she said in disbelief. ”I'm pretty sure that his older brother said that both their parents are Fire Mages.”
”Are you sure that they are really siblings?”
She couldn't answer that.
Come to think of it, Flint and Julian didn't look alike. And most of all, the baby had red hair while his older brother had a different hair color. Well, there were siblings that had different hair or eye colors. But still, the saint's words had already confused her.
”I think I have an idea of who you are talking about, Luna,” the saint said. ”Now, let me ask you a question.”
For some reason, she suddenly felt nervous. ”What is it, Your Holiness?”
”How do you think the Nystroms clan continued to grow if the first Supreme and Kalel's child died before it was even born?”
She gasped aloud when she realized what the saint was trying to imply. ”The Supreme died before Kalel,” she said. ”Are you saying that Kalel had a child with another woman?”
”I'm saying that the Supreme and Kalel had another child,” he said seriously. ”But another woman gave birth to that child through an ancient magic.”
Luna gulped hard. To be honest, she knew what the saint was talking about. But she couldn't wrap her head around it yet. ”Your Holiness, what does it have to do with the baby that I'm talking about?”
”If that baby has both fire and ice Mana, then he must be that child,” Saint Forrester said. ”The child of the Supreme and the Black Serpent that came out from another woman's womb.”
