43. I Should Have Died, But ...

I do not believe it!. Am I seeing it wrong?.

No!. No!.

It really is Uncle Axel!. He killed me and now he must be planning to kill me again!.

I think he was also suspicious because I should have died. Did he come here because he was curious too, why am I alive again?. What if he knew that the soul in this body was not the soul he had killed?!. What should I do?!.

"Cellia!"

I saw my daddy rush into my room and he immediately approached me anxiously. Ah, I really feel deja vu with this scene. It feels like I've just been reincarnated again.

Dad looked even more worried when he saw me, who was like a small, injured and scared animal. He then immediately shot a deadly gaze at Uncle Axel because there was only him in this room.

"What are you doing here?!" Daddy said. He looked very angry at Uncle Axel, even though he didn't know what happened to me, whether I was like this because of Uncle Axel or not.

Dad doesn't seem to like Uncle Axel apart from him being angry because he thought Uncle Axel did something to me, even though that was the truth in the past when he killed me.

Uncle Axel didn't change his expression just because his father treated him badly, like accusing him. On the other hand, Uncle Axel responded with a look of disgust. The two of them don't seem to know each other. But Uncle Axel can keep his feelings of hatred so neatly hidden that they don't show.

Uncle Axel finally left without a word after he left a piece of letter paper on the table.

When Uncle Axel came out of the door, simultaneously, Vincent, Vio, and a doctor came into my room.

The atmosphere in this room remains silent. It seems that the residents of this house also know that their daddy's relationship with Uncle Axel is not good.

"Honey, where does it hurt?. Are you still dizzy?" Dad asked while checking my body temperature and other checks before finally he let the specialist examine me.

"Sir, sorry. I need concentration when checking. Could you please leave this room for a moment?" Said this specialist doctor in a friendly manner.

She was actually the doctor I saw who often went back and forth to the room where Kharel was being treated and that was the room that had been moved a week ago.

"Okay. If anything happens to him, you will suffer the consequences. Remember that..." said my daddy to the specialist. He said it very curtly even though the person he was talking to was a woman who looked good.

"With my family name. I Magia Vania Xyren will promise not to do anything that could endanger Young Lady's life," said Doctor Vania.

After hearing that, daddy came out. It seemed like he was speaking curtly because he was worried about me, especially after meeting Uncle Axel. His emotions must have been raging so that he unconsciously spoke curtly to Doctor Vania.

After checking my condition. Doctor Vania made a complicated expression. She seemed shocked, surprised, and I don't know.

"The magic seal that Lord Yvone installed to seal the Young Lady's time magic has been removed. How could that be?. But it's also not like anyone can remove the seal. Was it Young Lady who accidentally took it off?. But it is not possible too..." said Doctor Vania.

"The flow of mana suddenly became irregular because the magic seal was released..." said Doctor Vania again. But. Actually, since then I saw that her mouth didn't move at all.

Telepathy?!.

But how can that be?. It's not like Doctor Vania wants to talk telepathically with me. From his words, he even seemed to intend to keep this a secret from me and from daddy of course.

Jangan-jangan aku memiliki kemampuan lain selain sihir waktu?.

Oh no. Maybe the power of mind reading?.

Espers?!. Do I have this magic ability too and just accidentally activated it?. But since when do I have it?.

Wait a minute.

Why does Doctor Vania know about my time magic?!.

"Why does the doctor know about my time magic?" I asked without thinking. It was stupidity that suddenly came.

Doctor Vania was surprised then looked at me closely "Young Lady?. Did you just read my mind?!. You have this ability too?!. That's great!"

"I have to report this to Lord Yvone. Ah no. I don't think it's necessary. My Lord Yvone didn't give me this order..." Doctor Vania then smiled with a smile like a seductive demoness and it made me shiver, but I didn't feel any bad intentions from her.

Maybe because he just has similar traits to the mischievous His Highness Yvone?. It seems like he has a hidden plan after learning about my abilities. Hopefully he doesn't do anything bad to me.

But. Somehow I feel deja vu. Suddenly I felt like I knew someone who had similar characteristics like Doctor Vania or His Highness Yvone, but I didn't know who that person was and I missed that figure.

This is strange... maybe in my previous life I knew someone like those two and that figure was very familiar to me?.

Forget about that. I'm more curious about why Doctor Vania knows my time magic? He also said earlier that the magic seal placed by His Highness Yvone was released?. How could that be?. Is Doctor Vania familiar with His Highness Yvone so he knows about my magical abilities?.

Was Doctor Vania too is His Highness Yvone's personal doctor that he entrusted Kharel to her?.

Since then, he has also continued to call His Highness Yvone as Lord Yvone. What is Doctor Vania's relationship like with His Highness Yvone?. Doctor Vania seemed to respect His Highness Yvone more than someone would respect a crown prince.

But on the other hand, she also seems very familiar with His Highness Yvone.

This kind of relationship looks like...

Ah!. This is like a wife looking at her husband!.

Eh?. What?. W-wait a minute. Does Doctor Vania have a romantic relationship with His Highness Yvone?. Or maybe they are already engaged!.

When thinking about that. I'm so annoyed. After all, His Highness Yvones has already proposed to me through daddy, right?.

I don't know why I feel confused by him. But that doesn't mean I like that guy!. That's crazy!. There's no way I like a man older than me!. At least for now. This has nothing to do with the age of my soul!.

"Young Lady, because you already know what was in my head earlier. So I can introduce myself. I am Vania Xyren and I already have an oath of allegiance with His Highness Yvone, so you don't need to worry. I won't reveal the secret about your time magic to anyone else..."

Ah. What did Doctor Vania say earlier?. Oath of allegiance?. What kind of oath of allegiance?. This makes me dizzy. So, is it true that Doctor Vania has a relationship like that? She is His Highness Yvone's fiancé. Or maybe the forbidden lover he is hiding?.

Oh, I'm sorry. In my previous life. I read too many novels with forbidden love stories, so thoughts like that like to pop up at will.

My head hurts again thinking about this unimportant thing. Moreover. Why can I think about this unimportant thing?.

Who cares about His Highness Yvone's relationship?.

Come on, forget it! Forget it!.

Four year olds child don't need to think about other people's romantic relationships!.

When I'm busy with my thoughts. Doctor Vania has finished examining me.

"Okay. I'll just say that this is where effect mana went out of control for a moment. Don't worry, you won't be affected by excess mana like Prince Kharel..." Doctor Vania explained to me.

"Kharel. How is his condition?" I asked, suddenly remembering Kharel.

"No need to worry. Prince Kharel is fine although the case of prince Kharel's mana excess is different from the general mana excess..."

I don't understand but it looks like Kharel is getting good treatment. And the good news, it looks like I can use my time magic for a while!. Currently the seal has been broken and His Highness Yvone has also been in the palace recently, so I have time to use my time magic!.

My thoughts drifted to the Salamanca kidnapping. I want to go to the past and save Salamanca!.

***

 Xavier Office Room.

 After hearing Doctor Vania's explanation and seeing that my condition was fine. Daddy decided to go back to taking care of his work so that it would be finished quickly and he could return to teaching me basic magic. But before that, daddy first settled his affairs with Uncle Axel.

My condition has improved, so I can return to normal and now it is normal. To extract information, I have to do bad activities like eavesdropping. If only there was magic that wouldn't make me have to act like this!.

Well, I think there is but I don't know. Maybe if I enter the academy then I will know magic like that.

"I warned you, Duke Loenhart. It's for your own good. Stop looking for Aliciaa-"

Bam!.

Crack!

The sound of the table crashing was so loud that I might have had a heart attack. Dadsy slammed the table after hearing Uncle Axel's outrageous words. What does he mean by telling daddy to stop looking for mommy?!.

I think Uncle Axel's intentions are good, but for some reason I don't like hearing him talk like that. But I'm still curious why father seems to hate Uncle Axel so much. My dad's anger earlier and now is not like someone who has a new problem. Dad is like someone who has long disliked Uncle Axel.

"His Majesty, King Alan has agreed. I will take over the search for the dragon totem for him. Meanwhile, you can freely clear your name by killing lots of Noose on the border... lately a lot of Noose have been attacking the citizens living on the border."

"Axel!. How dare you!-"

"But it's all your choice. If you want to tarnish the Leonhart family name even worse, make sure you are ready to accept the consequences. At least you have to think about your daughter... what social humiliation she will get because of your selfishness" continued Uncle Axel. He is like a person without feelings.

He talks casually as if all his actions are right. He is also a cunning person even though his face is very calm. He even used me. because I am one of daddy's weaknesses and strengths

"I won't let you look for Aliciaa. It's better for that woman to die. Then your daughter... why is she still alive?. I'm pretty sure that night I confirmed her death. There is something strange"

"!"

I am surprised.

It turns out my esper ability is still active! And what did I hear just now?. As I thought, Uncle Axel must be suspicious of my death. And what is he planning?. He tried to stop daddy from looking for mommy!. What is the real intention?. Why did he do that?. Does he have a grudge against mommy?.

After conveying the purpose of his arrival. Uncle Axel left here.

By making daddy stop looking for the dragon totem, it means that Uncle Axel has succeeded in making daddy unable to look for mommy anymore.

I'm the only one left.

Cellia Leonhart was supposed to be dead but she still had to live.

I have to save my family!.

I must try to save my family from this despair ...

Daddy, Mommy, Salamanca. I will definitely save you all!.
