Chapter 198 – Side Story – The Family Increases #2
Side Story – The Family Increases # 2
Asha Aphrodite.
I knew that name well.
People who meet me often mention that name to me.
There were mainly bad stories.
“Are you the Asha Aphrodite who married Pendragon Unizer and caused the war?”
I asked the woman in front of me.
Then the woman seemed to raise one eyebrow and looked at me indifferently with her black eyes.
The arrogant and self-righteous feeling somehow reminded me of Milione.
“If you want to preach about marrying Pendragon without church permission, please bear with me. All the priests in charge of me talk about that story every day, so it feels like my ears are burning!”
Indeed, it is so.
I understood the situation.
If the woman in front of me was really that Asha, I had many hypotheses to think about what kind of situation I was facing right now.
“Hey. Instead of acting like someone who just saw a ghost, come here and pray for my children. “Isn’t that what you came here for?”
“Asha said she died while giving birth?”
The most widely known story was that Queen Asha gave birth to her child that day in the fortress of Taeseong and died in childbirth afterward.
Soon a woman who identified herself as Asha spoke.
“Have you not heard a word from Sister Midnar or Gregory? A completely new priest has taken charge of me. Hey. Do I look like a dead person?”
“No.”
I have finished assessing the situation.
The door I opened was not connected to the 21st century, but to the past.
Did something malfunction?
When I looked out the window, I saw a tall cross beyond the transparent window.
It seemed to be a church building, but it looked like it was still under construction when you saw people tied to ropes hanging from the exterior walls of the building and people pounding here and there with nails and hammers.
“You can see the Basilica of St. Patro in Barakán. “I guess this is the city of Barakhan.”
In the world I was in, it had already been completed over 20 years ago. Among the six horns that encompassed the country, it was the last cathedral to be completed.
The six-horned ritual was recently completed with the re-construction of the “Durgien Cathedral.”
And “Saint Patro’s Cathedral” Is being built over there.
I thought I knew what it was.
The huge magic circle spanning the entire kingdom may be the reason for my current situation.
Two magic circles created around 20 years ago communicated closely with each other.
“Hey. Are you listening to me now? Are you ignoring me? “What did you say your name was?”
Cracking-.
Then Asha snapped her fingers and made a sound.
It was right then.
━Ugh! Ugh!
The child lying in the cradle began to cry.
She was the baby wearing gold clothes, and Asha quickly ran to her and quickly picked up the baby.
“Why is our Princess Ginevit suddenly crying? Do I need to change a diaper? “I don’t think so.”
━Garr… !
“She cried because she just wanted to be hugged by her mother!”
A girl smiling brightly.
The name is probably Guinevet Uniger.
That means the man sitting next to him—.
“…”
I made eye contact with the guy who was wearing black clothes that didn’t suit a baby and was rolling his eyes in all directions.
His eyes looked smarter and wiser than anyone else’s, and he looked like he would be a great human being.
I have a good eye for babies.
“This is my first time seeing such a wonderful baby. “What is this child’s name?”
I asked.
Then Asha said.
“No. She didn’t name it. That child is an unborn child. He’s a baby that will soon be parted, so don’t bother. “It’s clear that Priest Gregory will kill her.”
Asha’s voice as she said that was quite cold and cold.
Does she have animosity towards the priest?
Well, considering their circumstances of having to go to war with the church, it would be natural.
Zek-.
At that time, Asha lowered one side of her top and gave Ginebit u Niger her breast.
Asha was a young woman, perhaps only twenty years old, but she still looked like her mother.
Baby Ginebit seemed to be full, so she lay down in the cradle and fell asleep again.
I looked at that and asked Asha.
“Aren’t you giving breast milk to this child?”
“The child is going to die anyway, so what’s the point?”
I see.
These black clothes, unsuitable for babies, were shrouds for the dead.
They said she was a baby who was as good as dead just because she was born without a name.
Zek-.
I picked up the baby and held it out towards Asha.
“Does this baby look like a dead ghost? This baby is still alive. But if I starve like this, I might really become a dead ghost. “If you were a mother, what would you do here?”
“… Ugh.”
Asha secretly avoided her gaze, perhaps because she could not bear the baby’s bright and faithful eyes.
She soon sighed.
“All right. This priest is very strict. The other priests looked at this baby and couldn’t even make eye contact because they were so scared, like some unholy devil or goblin.”
Asha, who spoke above, also breastfed the baby boy.
It was that very moment.
“Ugh!”
Asha screamed.
Because her black-clad baby was squeezing Asha’s breast with all his might with his tiny hands. He must be taking advantage of the opportunity to punish the woman who doesn’t breastfeed him!
Because I, Hyde, know!
“Hey, you bad guy… ! This happens every time I breastfeed… !”
Asha laid her baby back in the cradle.
The baby still didn’t cry and was busy looking around the world with his two eyes.
Zek-.
I turned around and opened the door.

“My ice cream!”
Milione walked around me.
Then I searched my pockets, and it looked like I was looking for ice cream.
“What about my ice cream?”
“I didn’t buy it. “The place I went to didn’t sell ice cream.”
“What? “Where on earth have you been?”
I thought for a moment.
I was wondering if I could tell you where I’ve been.
If you look at all kinds of movies and media, you’ll see a lot of people going back and forth between the past and the future, saying the wrong things and touching the wrong things, causing a mess.
Of course, I was a man who was better and more outstanding than anyone else, but I was like a huge window that penetrated both the past and the future.
I made a quick decision and thought it would be good to talk honestly about what happened.
“I went to the past 20 years ago. Asha Pendragon was alive and little babies were lying in the cradle.”
Love does not live in doubts and secrets.
I wanted to be honest with my wives about this and that.
A confession of an amazing story of time travel 20 years ago.
Milione opened her mouth as if she was greatly surprised.
“That’s why you couldn’t buy ice cream.”
It seemed more surprising that I couldn’t buy ice cream than that I had gone back and forth between the past and present 20 years ago.
Soon Psyche, who was listening to this story from the side, opened her narrow eyes and said something.
“I think it’s more interesting that I went to the past, right? Well, in the case of Hyde, he has done so many incredible and amazing things that it is not surprising no matter what he does.”
That was it.
I have to be special.
Now it was clear that my wives would not be surprised if I told them I could walk on water and turn stones into bread.
Mate-.
Lucy clapped her hands.
“Baby Hyde! I miss you too! It must have been a baby loved by people, right? Huh? “Is there anything we can do for baby Hyde?”
Well.
What should I do?
It’s a bit like that if you accidentally touch it and the time gets mixed up and the present disappears.
“Lucy, can I find some records from 20 years ago? “I wish I could focus on what happened in Barakhan.”
“Okay! “I’ll find out soon!”
Lucy was still a pope.
Of course, he doesn’t do papal work, but he had full access to records from 20 years ago, and eventually, a few days later, I had a mountain of books in front of me.
“…”
I took a good look at what happened 20 years ago through a book.
For reference, the book was Gregory’s diary in which he recorded various things, and the taboo witch offered the children born in Taeman’s castle to Gregory -.
And it was recorded that by sacrificing those children, Asha Aphrodite also saved her life.
Afterward, the girl, Ginevit Uniger, was entrusted to the Marquis of Sandros, a nobleman’s gathering that started with gourmet parties.
“I made an agreement with the nobles by handing over Uniger’s blood to them. It was from this time that Gregory took the position of Pope and stabilized the country. Then…”
“Hyde, what happened to you? “I searched all the other records, but there was no record of a boy anywhere.”
Psyche, who was reading the book with me, seemed to have doubts.
There will be no choice but to do so.
Gregory would have already destroyed all records of me 20 years ago.
Actually, what─. Finding out what happened to the baby was easy for me now.
I got up, grabbed the doorknob, turned it, and with the air suddenly changing, I stretched out my feet towards the room where the babies’ cradles were placed.
“Priest Hyde. “You’re here again.”
Asha welcomed me.
She was still sitting in the room.
“You can’t get out of this room? “You are Gregory’s prisoner.”
“It looks like you’ve been studying about me a bit. Hyde Priest. But when I asked other priests, they didn’t know you. “Everyone treated me like a crazy girl.”
I see.
It was a story that could have happened.
“Hyde, tell me stories about the outside world. Because I can’t even take a single step out of this room. I wonder what it’s like outside. I’m also bored.”
The woman, Asha, was rude like Milione, polite like Psyche, and innocently longed for the outside like Lucy.
Maybe that’s why I felt a sense of familiarity with this woman, as if I had known her for a very long time.
“I’m bored. Then read this.”
Zek-.
I gave her “Nymph’s Village in Her Back Alley” To Asha.
