Chapter 15
In the first place, Duchess Blueport was a transcendent, so she rarely got sick.
Dalia walked quickly in surprise. Adrisha, who followed her side, was watching the Duchess Blueport with a serious look.
“Duchess? Are you alright? Are you sick?”
Dalia grabbed the Duchess’s hand and looked up at her.
She was covered with a mask, but her exposed jaw was visibly pale. Even her red scar looks white.
Because of the cold sweat, her fine hair was wet with sweat. Her hand was trembling so badly that it even shook Dalia’s hand.
Duchess Blueport pulled Dalia’s hand out. A hoarse voice managed to emanate from her throat.
“……Dalia, don’t come near me now. Stay away.”
“Duchess?”
“The thing that I thought would happen one day…….”
Duchess Blueport lifted her brow and spoke incoherently.
Dalia was confused and just looked at her. At that time, someone pulled Dalia’s arm away from the Duchess.
Thanks to this, Dalia lost the opportunity to think deeper about the incident.
Looking back, it was Adrisha. She looked back at the Duchess Blueport with a serious expression and stepped back.
“Dalia, come here.”
“……”
“That’s…..”
Adrisha couldn’t tell the reason.
Dalia read the hidden words behind it. A transcendent sweating and shaking hands for no reason was a sign of congestion.
After the terrible maniacal accident of Duke Artus, a never happened before phenomenon, the Transcendent Congestion was now about to take place in front of Dalia’s eyes. (*t/n: This is the best word that I can find. Even the dictionary said congestion, so…)
‘Wh, why all of a sudden?’
She just couldn’t understand. Then, she reached a certain possibility.
A possibility that she never wanted to think about.
In fact, it is a possibility that she has forcibly ignored it even though she knew it wasn’t hopeless.
She knew there would soon be a transcendent going berserk.
It is not clearly stated what happened, but it is only known that a transcendent was in a mana rush at some party and caused an accident.
Duchess Blueport is no longer a Duke in four years.(*t/n: means that she no longer the family head)
The position is being filled by her son, Duke Lewayne Blueport.
‘A transcendent.’
The transcendent who went out of control at the party…..was it actually the Duchess Blueport?
‘But the Duchess is here for me. Without me, the Duchess would not have been here.’
It was beyond her comprehension.
In the original, the transcendent who went berserk was Duchess Blueport. If so, does it mean that the event that should happen in the original will happen regardless of the existence of Dalia?
Looking at the first meeting between Adrisha and Hikan, Dalia thought that maybe her presence could be a variable to change the original.
But then…… will Hikan become obsessed with Adrisha again as he did in the original someday?
‘I don’t know.’
Dalia moved a step back along with Adrisha.
Before they knew it, the two were about ten steps away from the Duchess Blueport.
Not only the two but everyone also felt something strange, and people were slowly moving away from the Duchess Blueport.
At that point Adrisha realized the seriousness of the situation.
She sent Dalia behind her and looked for Hikan right away.
“Your Excellency, Duke Hikan Pesteros! Call the Emperor right now! He probably hasn’t gone far yet!”
Hikan hurriedly gave orders to the servant.
Dalia looked at him blankly.
I’ve never seen him make such a serious expression. This meant that the situation was so serious.
Hikan had not yet had the magic blooming, so he did not have the power to stop the Duchess Blueport alone.
‘However, calling His Majesty the Emperor means that the Duchess Blueport…… will die here.’
Because there is only one way to stop the transcendent’s berserk, that transcendent needs to die.
Dalia felt sad.
She only had Duchess Blueport. Her parents passed away, and Hikan, the only blood relative, was too far from her.
‘Now she’s alone again.’
Did she feel like this when the Duchess lost her husband in the fire accident?
Dalia knows that this incident will end quietly without causing any casualties.
But she will never see Duchess Blueport again.
Dalia turned her head again and looked at the Duchess.
She now seemed to be having a hard time trying to hold out. The moment the Duchess scraped the wall behind her with her fingernails, one side of the ballroom wall collapsed.
Boom!
In an instant, the ballroom became a mess.
People screamed in panic.
Everyone knew how terrible the consequences of the Transcendent Congestion were.
Slowly, the mana flowing from the Duchess Blueport’s whole body began to change the air around her. It was a sign that the congestion was not far off.
“Argh!”
A young man who ran out of the ball stopped screaming.
He fumbled in front of him. An invisible wall was in front of him.
In addition, many people were looking at each other with a puzzled look due the wall that had sprung up in front of them.
When the transcendent began to experience mana rush, their special abilities would manifest randomly as they do now.
The power which originally intended to protect others, was rather preventing people from evacuating.
“Everyone calm down. If you get stuck, you can go in the other direction.”
Hikan was the only one who kept his composure and calmly evacuated people.
Adrisha hurriedly turned to Hikan while protecting Dalia in her arms.
He was on the porch about 50 meters away from them, trying to evacuate the people.
“What about His Majesty the Emperor!”
“They said he’ll be here in a minute.”
Hikan answered with a loud voice that could be heard from a distance, but still in a hard tone.
It was a voice that didn’t have any personal feelings such as love or obsession. Nevertheless, it was surprising.
Adrisha looked down at Dalia.
She seemed quite confused about the situation, but she smiled for Dalia, who was younger than her. Even though she’s only 15 years old.
“It’s our first day and a lot of bad things happen, Dalia. Aren’t you scared?”
“What about Adrisha?”
Instead of answering, Adrisha smiled.
“I think I’ll have to watch the state of Her Excellency Duchess Blueport closely. Dalia, will you get out of here first?”
“But……”
“I am a person who serves His Majesty the Emperor, so this is my duty.”
In principle, yes. It was one of the Emperor’s duties to stop the berserking transcendent.
But what can a 15-year-old young lady do?
Knowing that it was suicidal to keep close to the berserking transcendent, Adrisha seemed determined to do so. To prevent further damage.
Even this was like the original heroine that Dalia liked.
“Dalia, come here. It’s dangerous there.”
Hikan also called her.
Eventually, Dalia turned toward Hikan.
That’s right. There’s nothing that Dalia can do here.
Besides, if Duchess Blueport really meets her end here……Dalia didn’t have the confidence to see it.
The tip of her nose was cold and she was tearing up.
The phrase in the diary that she had seen before coming here came to mind.
[There will be salvation wherever you reach. I hope you will save many people with that power.]
But Dalia was too weak to save others. It was hard for her to even take care of herself.
So she tried to run away from the original. She knows all the events in the original, but she knows that she can’t stop it.
But if she knew that the most precious person to her now would be victimized by the original incident.
If so……what could she have done then?
Even so, she couldn’t help it. She turned back and walked one step at a time toward Hikan.
“Dalia.”
Then, she heard a voice from behind.
It was Duchess Blueport. She called her in a voice small enough to be heard only by Dalia, but strangely clear.
“I have something to say to Dalia.”
Her trembling heart strangely calmed down.
Her rationality came. Perhaps there is no friend in the world who can move forward in this situation.
‘If this is the accident that happened in the original work, then there will be no casualties.’
In addition, if the main event of the original will happen unconditionally as Dalia predicted, then the heroine would not die before the beginning of the original work.
She’s much closer to the Duchess Blueport than Dalia is now.
‘And this energy…….’
The magic of Duchess Blueport was neither aggressive nor destructive at all.
Rather, it felt very peaceful and soft.
‘Perhaps.’
Maybe it’s okay.
Dalia stopped walking. She could feel Adrisha’s bewildered gaze.
“Hikan! Damn it, what’s all this about?”
At that time, the Emperor who had left returned hastily. His expression was also serious, as he didn’t anticipate this kind of future.
The Second Prince and other employees were all sent back and he returned alone.
The Emperor turned Hikan toward him and spoke in a harsh tone.
“I just don’t understand. Duchess Blueport was extremely stable a week ago. There’s no reason for this to happen all of a sudden. Have you tried to calm her down?”
Hikan looked at the Emperor, leaving the white sphere behind. He briefly reported the situation and said, (*t/n: the white sphere is the barrier that the Duchess unconsciously put up)
“Her special ability is a barrier. An invasive attempt is meaningless”
“Okay, it’s not too much firepower anyway. Instead, it’s going to be that hard to deal with.”
At that time, the Emperor’s gaze turned to the back of Hikan.
His eyes widened and immediately a loud voice came out.
“Hikan! Your sister is still there…!”
At the same time, a tremendous amount of energy which was incomparable to before began to flow from Duchess Blueport.
The momentum is so strong that Hikan, who turned against the sphere, can feel it without looking back.
He looked back.
The tremendous energy flowing from the Duchess Blueport quickly consumed the space around her.
As if a huge dome was formed around the Duchess, her energy turned white wherever she stretched out.
From a distance it was like a large white sphere.
The nearest Adrisha went first into the sphere, and then.
Just behind Dalia Pesteros is the Blueport’s white spheres.
