Chapter 99
“Is this the result that you said you will show to us?”
Ophelia brought yet another worst result and closed her eyes tightly.
“I’m really sorry. Everything is my fault …..”
She fell in a prostrate position in front of the foundation and spoke out words of apology endlessly while trembling like a lead.
Ophelia hoped that Mia would show her outstanding healing powers at Omicron’s academic conference and be recognized by the outside’s prominent figures.
However, the academic conference of Omicron this year was not a huge success.
It was all because of Princess Emmanuel’s fuss.
In addition to the group being humiliated at a public occasion, Princess Emmanuel gave up her thesis at once, so Omicron became a subject of ridicule.
In order to minimize ridicule and criticism from outside, Philaf decided to reduce the scale of their academic conference.
The stage where Mia will play an active part was ruined.
‘It’s because of Princess Deborah again this time! That damn wench!’
Ophelia squeezed her hand hard enough for her palm to bleed.
“You also took a lot of holy blood this time. You are using it as you like.”
The mysterious man handling the insects muttered in a gloomy mood while tapping the armrest with his pale hand.
“That person said that she will no longer trust you and will never give you a chance again.”
“I’m sorry. I have committed an unforgiven sin but, please, sp-spare my life.”
“That is not my business. Ask that person for mercy by reflecting deeply in pain.”
Francis, the smooth-looking man sitting on the right side, jerked his chin after speaking coldly.
The man wearing a black robe walked out in the dark and dragged Ophelia from the foundation.
The mysterious man, who jerked his chin while listening to the gruesome screams ringing from the underground stairs, opened his bluish lips with a serious face.
“What should we do about Mia now? If we get rid of Ophelia, the person in charge disappears……”
“She told me to handle it…Also, she is very irritated by Princess Deborah.”
Francis replied to the mysterious man’s question.
'I have to make a foolish saint. I even have to deal with the princess of the Seymour family.’
Mia was far less competent than Francis’s expectations.
Even though she’s a little popular among the people thanks to the spreading of holy blood, her presence in the centre of the social world was mediocre.
However, she’s a card that couldn’t be easily thrown away as the effort put might be a waste
Moreover, the person they followed seemed to have expectations left for Mia Binoche.
That person’s words were no different from the truth to them as the fanatics.
“Support her well. Since Mia Binoche has to become a real saint eventually. Enough to secure the throne.”
"I understand.”

After the club’s academic conference.
I asked Margaret to get a list of useful information guilds in the capital.
After that, I am taking a break comfortably from my complicated thoughts for the day.
I have been working pretty hard on a few things in the meantime and tomorrow will be the start of the weekend which is just in time.
‘I’ve been so hardworking lately because of the academic conference.’
After eating delicious dishes and desserts, I received messages from the servants and searched through the newly released novels.
‘I feel like I can breathe after a long time.’
Although the trial version of this cozy and relaxed life went on for a while…..
‘I can’t believe I gave my all just to not get married.’
Still, when the second Armand store will be opened in a secured place at the west gate, the sales are certain.
I remembered my meaningless pledge that I would save 10 billion as soon as possible and live like a jobless person after I became the matriarch, but before I went to sleep, I entered the room where the holy spirit egg was.
It was to communicate with the holy spirit.
“Huh? Where did it go?!”
Surprisingly, the holy spirit egg, which was kept safely inside the room at the end of the hallway, was only left with its dangling shell.
Looking at the empty holy spirit egg, I stood blankly for a moment and then quickly searched around.
‘Doesn’t it usually hatch in front of the owner’s eyes? I came to play with it every night, it should’ve waited for a bit.’
I was ready to give an applause and shed tears while watching the miracle of birth.
'I must have read too many novels.’
Thankfully, the door of the room where the holy spirit was kept inside is securely locked, so it could not have gone far away with its small body.
'Sigh, this turtle is not easy to deal with.’
As I was crawling around with the feeling of being a turtle and looking closely under the furniture, I held my breath when I heard a rustling sound somewhere.
Rustle rustle.
The place where the slow sound was heard is on the table.
'What is it?’
The small white turtle was licking the magic stone placed on the table.
'I’m a little flustered, but it’s just so cute?’
The moment the turtle stuck on the magic stone looked at me with its innocent eyes, I shut my lips tightly as a scream would burst out.
From finding the artifact to actually hatching the egg. Although the whole process was not an easy ride, I felt that my hardships were compensated with that cuteness only.
It was a cute turtle with both of its body and shell white-coloured as described in the novel.
The size was small enough to look like it was my three fingers only, the mouth was closed firmly, and the sapphire eyes were sparkling brightly.
‘By the way, I surely sneaked out two magic stones from the magic training room but one was missing.’
Perhaps you have already eaten it?
Surprisingly, the turtle was getting smaller when he licked the magic stone again.
“Kkyu?!”
The guy made a cute sound after the meal and burped slightly while staring at me.
"Hello.”
“Kyu!”
As our eyes met closely, the tightly closed mouth was opened brightly.
It rubbed its head lightly at my fingers as if it was in a good mood since its stomach was full.
I only heard a rumour that if you often talk to the egg that is about to hatch, the holy spirit will think the person who took care of it as its owner and react to them, but it was true.
“Do you remember my voice?”
As I gently stroked its round head, the turtle blinked several times with its big eyes before suddenly crawling up on my palm.
I flinched in surprise as it walked so fast although it just hatched.
As expected, it wasn’t simply a turtle but a mixed race spirit.
“Your name is purple.”
“Kyu?”
“What do you think? It’s good right? How good the name is, actually the name Deborah means purple in English”
I added an explanation like an excuse as its response was lukewarm.
It tilted its head once every time I finished speaking as if it was responding to my voice.
It was too cute.
I almost screamed again, but barely calmed down and carefully stroked Purple’s head.
“You are nice.”
“?”
“I’ll buy a lot of delicious things.”
“Kyu!!”
'Huh?’
…..For a moment, a distinctly different reaction came out when I was giving a mutual introduction.
Surprisingly, even though this holy spirit was just born, its preferences were very clear.
“Do you like something delicious?”
“Kyu!”
It reacts enthusiastically to something delicious, and even the Magic Stone seems to suit its taste buds.
‘Magic stones are more expensive than Korean beef sirloin……”
How the hell did Mia raise this worst fuel efficiency holy spirit?
As I carefully patted the shell while feeling doubtful, Purple slowly blinked its big eyes and fell asleep.
'I have a lot of money and this guy is cute, so it turned out well.’
Purple’s tail of mouth was faintly raised as if it was having a good dream.
'Ah really, why are you so cute?’
It was so cute that it was hard to stop the fool that kept getting excited.
'I have to keep my dignity as the villain. It’s a problem.’
I cleared my throat while bringing the turtle carefully back to the room and put it down on the luxury cushion.
'I will raise it very luxuriously as the pet of Princess Seymour.’
After putting effort for such a long time, I admired the holy spirit in a pleasant mood for a while and fell asleep.
The next day.
As I tried to oversleep for a long time since it’s the weekend, I opened my eyes slowly when I felt something biting my finger.
The little baby turtle, sized only as my three fingers, suddenly grew up to the size of a fist in a flash and became a child turtle.
“Gyu!”
‘I must be open minded towards cute things.’
“Do you want to eat breakfast?”
Purple’s eyes sparkled brightly and bit my fingers again.
I gave it bread just in case but it spat it out with a bright and cute face.
Although it was chewing on the fig that I put in its mouth to see if it fits its taste, it had a sullen look somewhere.
'You are very picky.’
“Alright, I lost.”
When I took out the high grade magic stone that I was saving, a pale blush appeared on Purple’s cheeks.
Thanks to that, I felt like I became a capable head of family for some reason.
“Eat a lot.”
“Gyu!”
Purple, who ate half of the magic stone in a flash, suddenly jumped to the back of my hand with a triumphant face and climbed hard on my arm.
“What’s wrong?”
That guy which was staring at me suddenly turned into a large bunch of light and slowly began to seep into the skin above my forearm.
