Rebirth Just Before The 10th Circle

Concerned, Sasha took the Archduke's hand.

"father···."

“·················ogue.”

"Dad···."

The archduke responded weakly to the gentle call.

Slightly trembling eyelids.

Soon his eyes narrowed, and a cracked voice came out of his dry mouth.

"Sa... sha... is it?"

"Ahh... Daddy... Daddy..."

Sasha took the Archduke's hand and wept.

Then the Archduke, who was weakly awake, said:

“Woo... Lee Sa... Sha has grown up a lot.”

"Huh···. Have I grown up a lot?”

At Sasha's smile, the Archduke also gave a light smile.

The archduke's smile was at the level of a slight movement of the corners of his lips.

But as much as his eyes were the warm eyes of his father that Sasha remembered.

Then the prince's eyes changed and he said.

“Sasha... hey.”

"Huh."

"Do you remember playing with your dad... Sumba...?"

"Huh. I don't remember, of course."

"The place where you... often hid...."

As he spoke, the power slowly drained from the hand of the Archduke.

Even his words were cut off.

In an instant, Sasha's heart sank.

Surprised, Sasha said nothing for a while.

Then she saw the archduke's chest rising and falling, and only then could she breathe a sigh of relief.

Tears flowed again from her eyes.

“It’s really… really bad. You were surprised.”

Fortunately, the Archduke was just asleep.

Sasha took a deep breath, calming her startled stomach.

And she chewed the words left by the Archduke.

‘Where did I often hide?’

In Sasha's childhood, the only game played by the Archduke, who could not play often with her daughter due to her excessive work, was hide-and-seek.

The tag was always the Grand Duke, and it was Sasha's job to hide.

When Sasha hid, the Archduke took the time to work.

Because of this, their hide-and-seek place was always limited to the library where the Archduke worked.

‘The place where I hid when I was a child…’

And when the hide-and-seek began, there was a place where Sasha enjoyed hiding, seven out of ten.

A place that no one knows and only you and her father know.

Recalling this, Sasha jumped up from her seat.

[Sasha?]

“Siri, thank you. Can you tell me again when Dad wakes up like today?”

[Huh! do not worry! Believe me!]

Sasha, who entrusted her father to a reliable friend, went straight to the study.

Sasha's expression, which had been frozen the whole way back, changed suddenly the moment she stood in front of the study door.

Sasha took a deep breath and opened the door.

“Are you coming now?”

“…I went out for a while and came to see my father on the way back.”

“That’s right.”

Sasha, who had lied to her, sat down at her desk with a nonchalant face.

She and she said to the general.

“I’m a little tired.”

“Oh my… it’s okay to take a break today…”

“There is still a lot of work to be done.”

With her self-helpful smile she spoke her words.

“Could you please prepare some simple tea for me?”

"Okay. I will come prepared.”

After answering that, the general went out.

After he disappeared, Sasha moved swiftly, spreading mana to make sure no one was around.

Sasha recalled her childhood.

Her father is counting on her desk, and she sneaks back behind her without his father's knowledge.

And···.

rattle-

She looked into her father's eyes and lifted the hardwood floor of the corner of the study.

Little Sasha enters the room.

‘Are you all dead? Where is my daughter?’

When she played hide and seek, her father always teased her mouth nonstop.(Read more @ hotmtlnovel.xyz)

It was a consideration so as not to surprise the young daughter who was hiding in the dark.

‘Aww, I can’t find it anywhere.’

The exaggerated behavior of the father, who seemed to not always find himself, was the father's regret for not being able to play with his daughter because of work.

Also, why was the broken floor always the same even though it could be repaired enough, and the narrow space that was supposed to be dirty was always clean...

I didn't know then.

'Dad···.'

A father who would continue to talk to his daughter and work.

The image of the father, who always clears the place where his daughter should hide, was clearly drawn in her eyes.

As she recalled her past, Sasha lifted the hardwood floor where she hid as a child.

rattle-

The floor was lifted as easily as a little girl lifted easily.

Covered Sasha, who couldn't get in now, put her hand there.

OK.

chin-

“········································································?!”

Something caught Sasha's fingertips.

Sasha took it out quickly.

"This···?"

It was a notebook.

Sasha hastily opened her first chapter.

clue (2)

clue (2)

The identity of the notebook was none other than a diary.

A diary that did not record every day, but recorded events that the Archduke considered important.

It started from the day the Archduke first met his wife.

X month X day XXX

I met an angel who lost wings.

I finally had to find it.

I want her to be with her her for the rest of my life!

Sasha laughed as she thought she could hear her father's voice in the diary.

'Dad is so...'

courtship for a lover.

3 rejections.

Without giving up, in the end, until the process of winning love.

The diary had it all written down.

'Every day, my mother said that we should meet first... was it all a lie?'

The corners of Sasha's lips curled up slightly again.

She hurriedly turned to the next page and quickly looked through the contents of the diary.

From that day on, the diary was full of sentences about happiness due to marriage and the birth of Sasha.

Then, suddenly, a heavy text appeared.

***

X month X day XXX

The wingless angel who came to me has gone to heaven.

Leaving a little angel in my arms.

Please don't get sick there and be happy...

***

Small watermarks scattered throughout the diary pierced Sasha's chest.

The image of her father, who must have shed tears in secret while writing her diary, was clearly drawn.

The Archduke did not keep a diary for a while.

From the moment he started writing again, it was all about Sasha.

The day Sasha did her first flip.

The day Sasha had her first tooth.

The day she first called herself Daddy Sasha.

It was safe to say that it was not the archduke's diary, but Sasha's parenting diary.

As a result, the old melancholy text appeared to be bright again.

Sasha's eyes warmed as she read the diary full of her own stories.

Sasha's hand, who had been flipping through the diary so quickly, stopped in one place.

The page where her gaze stayed.

The date written there was eight years ago.

Unexplained abnormalities began to appear in the body.

One short record.

Seeing this, Sasha's complexion hardened.

She hurriedly turned her page.

His condition is getting worse.

Investigating the cause

I'm guessing it's poison.

X month X day XXX

Mana, the source of life, is scattered.

It was discovered that this phenomenon was mana poison through the data left by her wife.

***

The contents of the diary were surprising.

'Did you know that my father was Manadog...?'

Sasha thought that the Archduke did not know Mana poison, but his father knew it was Mana poison that he had suffered.

Even more surprising is that her mother was mentioned.

material left by her wife.

It was clearly written that way in my father's diary.

Sasha revealed her deep doubts.

'How did Mom know... Manadog? Did you know that her father was poisoned with mana?’

She was full of doubts.

Only the contents of the diary will answer that question.

Sasha continued to read her diary down.

***

X month X day XXX

She realized that she could not detoxify the mana poison she had already suffered.

However, she intends to persevere as much as possible by preventing the mana poison she will suffer in the future.

More worried about Sasha.

They were targeting me directly, so there was no way that Sasha should not be their target.

She must let Sasha . . . from the Archdukes.

X month X day XXX

Sasha left for Genesis Academy.

She promised that she would hold out until the child graduates, but I don't know how long this body will hold up.

Only then did Sasha realize why the Archduke had sent him to the academy in such a way.

When Sasha turned her diary to the next chapter, the date of her diary had jumped over several years.
