Choosing the Baby’s Father From the Following

Chapter 19

Helena, however, was simply flustered and didn’t seem to notice anything.

‘𝘞𝘩𝘢𝘵? 𝘉𝘶𝘵, 𝘴𝘩𝘦’𝘴 𝘢 𝘳𝘦𝘨𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘴𝘰𝘳……?’

I’m sure I set Helena up as a competent regressor.

Well, Helena realized she had returned after meeting Lurick.

‘𝘛𝘪𝘮𝘦-𝘸𝘪𝘴𝘦, 𝘪𝘵’𝘴 𝘢𝘭𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘥𝘺 𝘱𝘢𝘴𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘱𝘰𝘪𝘯𝘵, 𝘣𝘶𝘵 𝘪𝘵 𝘴𝘦𝘦𝘮𝘴 𝘭𝘪𝘬𝘦 𝘴𝘩𝘦 𝘤𝘢𝘯’𝘵 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘭𝘪𝘻𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘴𝘩𝘦’𝘴 𝘳𝘦𝘨𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘴𝘦𝘥 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘪𝘯𝘤𝘪𝘥𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘰𝘧 𝘮𝘦𝘦𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘓𝘶𝘳𝘪𝘤𝘬.’

Then should I make her meet Lurick for now?

While pondering over the various possibilities in my mind, Phoebe spoke to Helena.

“I am Phoebe Nilo, the handmaiden who serves Her Highness. The Abbot has invited you to attend morning prayers. Shall I escort you to the chapel immediately?”

That was a great idea.

If we go to the chapel now, we’ll definitely meet Lurick.

“Of course. Please lead the way.”

I watched Helena turn around briskly, and perhaps because she was nervous, her left arm and left leg moved simultaneously.

‘𝘒𝘦𝘶𝘬.’

Feeling a secret sense of camaraderie with her, I followed Helena.

‘𝘠𝘢𝘺! 𝘐 𝘧𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘥 𝘮𝘺 𝘴𝘪𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘳-𝘪𝘯-𝘭𝘢𝘸!’

When we finally arrived at the chapel, the service had already begun.

Lurick was already there, seated in the front row. Since Helena had only escorted us to the entrance, she couldn’t face him.

‘𝘖𝘩 𝘯𝘰, 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘪𝘴𝘯’𝘵 𝘳𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵…’

My mind was elsewhere throughout the entire service.

‘𝘐 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘮𝘢𝘬𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘮 𝘳𝘶𝘯 𝘪𝘯𝘵𝘰 𝘦𝘢𝘤𝘩 𝘰𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳 𝘴𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘩𝘰𝘸.’

I carefully went over the novel’s plot in my head.

After his rampage, when Lurick was imprisoned in Caesarea’s underground prison, Helena was ordered by the monk to bring food to the imprisoned prince and ensure his survival.

So she bravely approached the strong man, who was still wreaking havoc despite being bound hand and foot, and fed him.

‘𝘌𝘷𝘦𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘨𝘩 𝘓𝘶𝘳𝘪𝘤𝘬 𝘩𝘢𝘥 𝘢𝘭𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘥𝘺 𝘩𝘶𝘳𝘵 𝘴𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘢𝘭 𝘴𝘦𝘳𝘷𝘢𝘯𝘵𝘴 𝘸𝘩𝘰 𝘩𝘢𝘥 𝘷𝘪𝘴𝘪𝘵𝘦𝘥 𝘩𝘪𝘮 𝘣𝘦𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘦.’

Of course, Lurick acted up in front of her too, and as Helena tried to stop him, she accidentally grabbed his hand.

‘𝘈𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘮𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵, 𝘓𝘶𝘳𝘪𝘤𝘬 𝘴𝘶𝘥𝘥𝘦𝘯𝘭𝘺 𝘤𝘢𝘮𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘴𝘦𝘯𝘴𝘦𝘴.’

However, it was such a shocking event for Helena that she fled the prison before she could fully grasp what had happened.

All she felt was relief at having saved a life.

However, that night, Helena was tormented by a long dream.

‘𝘚𝘩𝘦 𝘥𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘮𝘵 𝘰𝘧 𝘢 𝘧𝘶𝘵𝘶𝘳𝘦 𝘸𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘓𝘶𝘳𝘪𝘤𝘬 𝘸𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 𝘴𝘰𝘰𝘯 𝘥𝘦𝘴𝘵𝘳𝘰𝘺 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘮𝘰𝘯𝘢𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘺 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘴𝘦𝘪𝘻𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘪𝘮𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘢𝘭 𝘤𝘪𝘵𝘺, 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘦𝘹𝘦𝘤𝘶𝘵𝘦 𝘢𝘭𝘭 𝘰𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳 𝘮𝘦𝘮𝘣𝘦𝘳𝘴 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘳𝘰𝘺𝘢𝘭 𝘧𝘢𝘮𝘪𝘭𝘺.’

Up to that point, it might have been bearable.

‘𝘔𝘢𝘺𝘣𝘦 𝘪𝘵 𝘸𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥𝘯’𝘵 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘣𝘦𝘦𝘯 𝘴𝘰 𝘣𝘢𝘥 𝘪𝘧 𝘓𝘶𝘳𝘪𝘤𝘬 𝘩𝘢𝘥 𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘴𝘦𝘯𝘴𝘦𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘯 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘣𝘦𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘦 𝘢 𝘨𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘵 𝘦𝘮𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘰𝘳.’

However, Lurick completely lost his mind due to the magic sword and eventually became a tyrant who would go down in history and devour this great empire.

As Babenberg, who fought alone, fell, the entire continent fell into the hands of barbarians.

‘𝘛𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘱𝘭𝘢𝘤𝘦, 𝘊𝘢𝘦𝘴𝘢𝘳𝘦𝘢, 𝘪𝘴 𝘭𝘰𝘤𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘥 𝘪𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘯𝘰𝘳𝘵𝘩.’

As such, the barbarians quickly advanced to the monastery, and Helena clearly saw herself and the monks dying at their hands.

‘𝘈𝘧𝘵𝘦𝘳 𝘸𝘢𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘶𝘱 𝘧𝘳𝘰𝘮 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘥𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘮, 𝘏𝘦𝘭𝘦𝘯𝘢 𝘩𝘢𝘥 𝘯𝘰 𝘥𝘰𝘶𝘣𝘵.’

The devout girl was convinced that she had either seen the future or had returned to the past after experiencing it.

And then she remembered the feeling of the raw magical energy that had been raging inside Lurick being absorbed and disappearing into her.

‘𝘙𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵, 𝘴𝘰……’

It wasn’t enough for Lurick and Helena to just run into each other.

‘𝘛𝘩𝘦𝘺 𝘯𝘦𝘦𝘥 𝘱𝘩𝘺𝘴𝘪𝘤𝘢𝘭 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘵𝘢𝘤𝘵.’
