I Adopted A Villainous Dad Chapter 10

The legendary holy sword was buried in the waiting room with the tomb of the saint enshrined in the cathedral.

‘This is the grave of the saint.'

The third saint's moat carved in the tomb was beautiful. It was as if the angels were guiding the saint to heaven.

And a sword stuck on the altar above the head of the tomb.

“That's Sophia's sacred object called the holy sword.”

With the introduction of the priest, my eyes turned to the sword of the castle.

‘That's weird.

Perhaps because it was called a holy sword, I thought it would be a very big sword, but it was a common sword with an ordinary shape.

‘It feels ordinary…'

I'm a little disappointed.

Maybe it's because I've been looking forward to it.

“Are you sure that's the holy sword?”

Just in case, I asked the priest for confirmation, but I only received Luciana's stern eyes.

I know it's rude, but what can I do if I doubt it!

Perhaps because I'm still a child, the priest laughed and passed without any problems.

“Yeha. Then I'll call Lord Ludwig.”

Luciana and priest Aiden stepped down after greeting each other. I watched them go, and I turned around and looked at the Holy Sword again.

“In the novel, it was a sword that caught the eye of the beholder as an extraordinary and dazzling sword.”

It was so different from the original fantasy.

Anyway, since I'm at the deceased's grave, I'm going to have to show my respect. I closed my eyes holding my hands together.

“May you find your rest in light.”

Since the third saint, who was the first holy knight, the Vatican has won a never-broken armed group.

And Sophia's holy sword, which emits moonlight on its own, has become a symbol of holy knights.

“The Holy Sword that God himself dropped off to Sofia, the saint.”‘

There was a legend that the sword was placed next to the tomb of Sopha, the first master, and since then there's no new master appeared.

Whenever the owner dies, a new owner should appear.

“Well, since it's a holy sword, it's like a moon or something, right?”

I had to give Ludwig the holy sword, but I am afraid that this is a fake one. The holy sword is the only way to kill all the monsters.

“What should I do?”

I suddenly felt a strange air when I was thinking about it.

“Yeha.”

“Ludwig!”

He bent his one knee down and greeted me.

“Greetings to the first light that shines on the world.”

Every time I received a formal greeting, I felt burdened. I tilted my head when I gestured to raise his head.

“What about Luciana?”

“Sister Luciana said she is going to help priest Aiden.”

Ludwig bowed his head. I stood before him. Maybe this is how you do it.

“May the strong light shine in the darkness.”

I put his hand on Ludwig's head and prayed vaguely. I smiled unconsciously because of the sacred energy I felt at my fingertips.

“Do you know where we are?”

“Yes.”

“That's the Holy Sword over there.”

Ludwig's expression hardened as I pointed at the Holy Sword on the tomb.

“Pull it out.”

“How dare I…?”

“It's okay because I've allowed you. So go and pull it out.”

Originally, this high-grade holy sword chooses it's master, so when an unqualified person approach it, it won't be pulled out and would only make the problem grow bigger, but it's fine because I put my blessing on it!

Ludwig, who stood up with an unwilling look on his face, approached the Holy Sword.

“Ludwig, fighting!”

When I cheered, Ludwig held his breath with a serious look on his face and grabbed the sword handle.

And!

“Ah.”

The sword didn't budge.

“……”

“……?”

Ludwig was perplexed.

“It doesn't come out? It can't be. Pull it out carefully.”

Ludwig shook his head while he was flexing.

“….Yeha, It won't come out.”

“No, are you sure it won't come off?!”

Since then, Ludwig has been trying to draw for a long time, but the sword did not budge even an inch.

What?! What happened to this!

* * * * *

In the end, Ludwig went back without being able to pull out the sword. Ludwig worried about me who would be left alone, but let it go.

“Why!”

I couldn't hold on to Ludwig any longer, so I had no choice but to let him go, but I wasn't convinced yet.

“Why?”

What I know can't be wrong!

The owner of the sword was Ludwig.

So why can't the sword be pulled out?

“Ah, what is it? Is there something I don't know?”

When Ludwig appeared in the novel, I had no idea how he got the sword because he already had it.

Actually, it could have been because I wasn't interested. Because my interest was only in Melkiade.

“I should have brought my dad over, too.”

It was so sad that the father wasn't here now. Sobbing

“Holy Sword. How do you choose your master?”

[Pft.]

“…….”

Did the Holy Sword just laugh at me?

I suddenly felt a chill when I tried to frown at the sound of laughter.

“No, I think I just heard a laugh.”

Is it just a feeling?

[Can you hear my voice?]

“……!”

I stopped solidly as I heard a voice again.

[Can't you see me?]]

A blurry white figure appeared in my field of vision. The innocent woman wearing only a thin dress. I doubted my eyes.

Is that an apparition?

“Who are you? Do you know me?”

I was frightened, but I am the saintess. I shouldn't be scared at all because I have to be successful.

[Well, who should I introduce?]

The vaguely disappeared woman soon showed up behind the sword and hugged it.

“I am the master of this sword.”

“……!”

The saintess Sophia?

“You're kidding, aren't you?”

The ghost laughed, I frowned at the unbelievable words.

The saying that a saint appears as a ghost and goes to heaven when he dies was false.

[You are my successor.]

“To put it correctly, I'm not your successor.”

I am me!

[You're a little peculiar.]

“I don't want to hear that from a ghost.”

[I'm not a ghost.]

I could feel that my smiling voice truly adored me.

“Then what are you?”

[Well? Can you guess?]

“Well… Fairy?”

It sounds wrong. Sophia, who laughed out loud, said softly.

[I'll give you a hint. I have something to do with this sword.]

It's probably related because it's the holy sword of saintess Sophia.

“Ludwig wasn't able pull the sword out, is it because it's haunted?”

[Ludwig?]

I nodded.

“Ludwig must be the owner of the sword. So why couldn't he pull the sword out?”

[You're sure. Why do you think he is the master of the moonlight?]

“That's…. “

It's because of the novel. It was a pity I couldn't answer.

Sofia's eyes glistened as she was muttering, wondering how to gloss over it.

[That's because you know the future?]

What, did she know?

Sophia smiled mysteriously as I opened my eyes wide.

“How did you know?”

[Secret.]

Pointing at me, Sofia smiled meaningfully.

[What are you going to do as the only person who knows the future of this world?]

Her slender voice asked, as if the world were asking me.

“Well, I don't really want to do anything grand.”

Above all, I didn't think the world would stay still as I wanted.

If I change, the world will change. Whether I like it or not.

[But you still have to move to get what you want.]

[What do you want?]

What do I want?

It was a very heavy question. At the same time, a very obvious question.

“Eat well and live well with my favorite?”

I wanted to see happy Melkiade.

Unlike the original, which has only a terrible ending, I want to give Melkiade a peaceful and happy ending. And I wanted to be with him in there.

Wouldn't it be the desire of all virtue to make my favorite happy?

‘Sometimes it makes me want to cry.'

Sophia laughed as if she liked my answer.

[Someone's intense aspirations could sometimes change everything.]

Sophia looked down at me.

[That's what a saintess is.]

“Like when you became the first holy knight?”

Sophia smiled and nodded. At the same time, the surroundings became dark.

Sophia's traces were blurred out of sight.

Trapped in total darkness, I stared silently into the air.

“Hmm.”

I don't know what's happening, but how do I get out of here? I looked around, but not a speck of light came in.

Considering that this was still in the cathedral, it could not have been the same.

“…..Daddy.”

I missed Melkiade.

What is Mel doing now?

I know he went to kill the monsters, but I missed him.

I want to be with Mel for every minute!

[lia…]

“What?”

I raised my head to the voice, which was blurry from the air. A faint piece of light descended from the darkness.

As soon as I had the light in my hand, another scene unfolded before my eyes. It was already night and the full moon is brightening my sorrounding.

And…

“Ah.”

When I came to my senses, there was a cold, hard sword was already in my hand.

At first sight I knew what this was.

“Moonlight Sword…”

The holy sword will only shine in the hands of it's the master.

I didn't know why the Holy Sword was in my hand, which was supposed to be in Ludwig's hand, but the moment I saw this, I came to my senses.

We have to go right now.

“Ludwig!”

I recklessly called Ludwig and ran in the cathedral. There were people who were agitated when they saw me, but there was no reason to care about it.

“Yeha?”

Surprised Ludwig called me.

I had to say something to Ludwig, but now I didn't have time to catch my breath.

I gave the sword, which was in my hand, to Ludwig.

“Ludwig, you have to go somewhere with me right now.”

Ludwig had a stupid look on his face. Once I took a big breath, I bit my lips.

“Daddy's in danger.”
