The Chosen One Was Me, Not You

53 – {Parents Worries}

{Parents Worries}

11 Years ago.

The Duke of Skyroad, who was about to die at the hands of unimaginable monsters, was saved by a mysterious boy.

“What’s your name?”

The Duke of Skylord asked, smiling softly at a dark-haired boy.

“You know what?”

The little boy asked back, giving a crooked answer.

“I want to thank you for saving your life. Could you tell me where you are?”

“No.”

“Hmm?”

“There is no such thing.”

The boy’s eyes were empty as he said that.

“So you’re living alone?”

“Yes. He’s wandering around.”

The boy who answered the Duke of Skyroad in surprise turned around.

“Where are you going?”

“I don’t know. I’m just going to walk somewhere.”

The Duke of Skyroad asked the boy with no destination.

“Then how about coming to my house?”

The Duke of Skyroad was waiting for a call from Theodore.

It was because today was the first day Theodore went to Minst Academy to study and teach.

“I think he’ll do just fine on his own, but I’m still worried.”

The Duchess of Skyroad said, thinking of Theodore.

Although he didn’t give birth to him himself, he was so outstanding that he was a son whom he loved like his own.

Given that he was her true chosen one, such a talent was not surprising, but apart from that, the existence of her outstanding son was a source of pride for her.

The Duke of Skyroad felt the same way.

“I’m rather worried about doing too well.”

But he was worried in a different way than the Duchess of Skylord.

“Honey, what do you mean by that?”

“Whoa, literally. Our Theo will do just fine. But if that’s the case, how annoying the Britannian Empire will be for Theo…”

Theodore had to risk everything.

However, as soon as he went there, he got involved with William, and with the Duchess of Artin, if he showed his ability now, there would be people from the Britannian Empire who would guess his identity.

And there he was reunited with Reina Artin, his biological sister whom he did not even know.

“And Reina Artin. Too bad for her.”

“That’s right. Our Theo is like that too, why they can’t even properly take responsibility for the children they gave birth to… I really don’t understand.”

Is it because she has a daughter who is only a year older than her?

When the Duke and Duchess of Skyroad heard the story of Reyna Artin, they felt very sorry for her and thought that if she left the Duke of Artin, she would accept her as their adopted daughter and love her like her own daughter.

Judith also liked that if Raina came, she would have a sister of her own, so her family unanimously agreed.

The only thing left for her was Reina Artin, her own choice.

“Hmm?”

At that time, a square screen appeared in front of the Duke of Skyroad.

Theodore’s face was soon reflected on the screen.

He bowed his head politely and greeted politely.

[Father, sorry for calling you again at such an early hour.]

We talked for a while during lunch break, but even though only a little over an hour had passed, he contacted me again.

Theodore apologized for this, but the Duke of Skylord shook his head.

“Don’t say that. What father would be bothered by his son contacting him?”

Of course, even though the Duke of Skyroad said this, he wasn’t himself, but he remembered several fathers like that.

But at least he wasn’t himself.

“Yes. Theo, is it something important that you’ve been contacting so suddenly?”

And the Duke of Skylord felt that, regardless of how he was, if Theodore had contacted him again in such an early hour, he was about to say something important.

[Yes. It’s an important matter, so I thought I should tell my father and mother in advance.]

“Tell me what’s going on.”

Not only the Duke of Skyroad, but also the Duchess of Skyroad quietly waited for Theodore’s words.

[The Britannia Empire, recognizing my superiority, is sending a princess to play tricks. If it stays like this, it will appear as expected even if it stays still.]

The Duke of Skyroad nodded at Theodore’s words.

It was as expected.

That’s why it was a bit bittersweet.

“Are you okay?”

[There is no problem with that part. I was only shining the name of the Duke of Skyroad by revealing some of my excellent abilities. I just have other concerns.]

” …Which one?”

The Duke of Skylord was guessing, but he asked Theodore for a clear answer.

[Reina. I’m kind of liking that kid.]

“Reina?”

[Yes. She seems to think that the existence of that child is bigger than she thought. So I had to tell my father in advance what I was going to do from now on.]

At Theodore’s words, the Duke of Skyroad realized what he was trying to do.

“No way? Are you planning on dropping a hint so that I can figure out your true identity sooner?”

[Yes, father.]

Theodore nodded.

[I intend to present a mantra to His Majesty as well. Now, in the Arkan Empire, the Britannia Empire no longer has to stand by and stand by to profit by putting up a false chosen one.]

At his words that he would speed up the moment of revealing himself as the true chosen one, the Duke of Skyroad looked at Theodore’s face in the video.

“Are you okay with that?”

“Yes, Theo. Are you all right?”

The Duke and Duchess of Skyroad asked Theodore at the same time.

As a couple, they were worried about Theodore.

How much do you bother him in the Duke of Artin?

How much would you bother him on the level of the Britannian Empire?

Aside from that, they were worried that their son, Theodore, might be hurt by their ugly desires.

[No problem.]

However, Theodore was not shaken by his parents’ disapproval.

He was already making a firm decision.

“Theo, is this what you wanted?”

The Duke of Skyroad saw Theodore’s determination and asked if this was what he wanted.

[Yes, that’s what I wanted.]

When Theodore replied that he wanted it, the Duke of Skylord closed his eyes for a moment and controlled his emotions.

“If it bothers you that there is something that our Arkhan Empire is losing diplomatically…Don’t mind that. I’ll tell your Majesty separately.”

The words of the Duke of Skylord were not words to say as the head of the Duke of Skylord who was loyal to the Arkhan Empire.

Considering how much damage the Arkan Empire is losing diplomatically because of the presence of the fake Chosen One promoted by the Britannian Empire right now, the existence of Theodore, the real Chosen One, had to be revealed someday.

But he thought it better for him to sin a little than to have his son hurt.

He was the heart of a parent who did not want to use his son for political reasons.

[That’s what I wanted too. I don’t want to see any more damage to our Arkans Empire by putting up fakes.]

However, Theodore himself had already made up his mind.

The country he swore allegiance to and chose to live in was the Arkan Empire, not the Britannia Empire where he was born and filled with all sorts of bad memories.

And as the heir to the Duke of Skylord, he intended to use his position as the chosen one for the sake of the Duke of Skylord and the Arkhan Empire.

It was also to be used as a weapon of retaliation.

“…Yeah. I can’t stop it any longer. Whoa, but be careful just in case.”

[Yes, father. Father, mother. Then I’ll just hang up.]

“Yes.”

“Be careful.”

That’s how I lost contact with Theodore.

Since it was also a family affair, the Duchess of Skyroad, who had been watching quietly, sighed.

“Haa, honey. Theo thinks we should go too.”

“Yes, I guess.”

The Duke and Duchess of Skyroad thought they should visit the Britannian Empire in person under the pretext of being parents.

And this visit probably wouldn’t be just the couple.

“If we go, the Arsene duchy will go too.”

“That’s right. If it’s Duchess Arsene, I think she’ll run right away.”

Duchess Arsane, who heard the story that after sending her Yuria to her Britannia Empire, that her William Artin was targeting and trying to kidnap her, the two couples laughed bitterly at the thought of her uproar. Built

William Artin and the Britannian Empire would now be greatly upset, as the false shield of the Chosen One, which had prevented all the sins committed so far, would disappear.
