NOVEL WEB My Daddy Hides His Power
Chapter 254
* * *
The original story <The Rebellion of Dos> has ended. However, the time between the main characters and me continues to flow. It will continue to flow in the future. * * * It was past midnight. After organizing my many thoughts, I opened my notebook and picked up my pen. This notebook and pen were the birthday gift I received from Oscar two days ago. “That’s strange.” “What is it?” “If everything goes according to plan, won’t the emperor’s head roll tomorrow? The day right after Primera’s death… is the day the new era of Primera is born.” “Ah! Right?” “Happy birthday. A gift.” May 19th. Today was my birthday. “Wow, thank you! But why are you giving it to me so soon?” “Mhm, take it quickly and start studying.” I recalled the conversation with him and smiled for a moment before starting to scribble with the pen. 1786, May 19, 1st Letter. Hello, Master. Although this notebook was a gift from Master to encourage my studies, I’m going to write a letter here. It’s my precious record that I will always miss Master, even though we can’t be together. The reason Oscar “left” was, paradoxically, to “return.” I believe that to be true. The punishment of being forgotten by those you love. Losing their voice, unable to tell them that he loves them… A tragic fate like the main character of the fairy tale <The Little Mermaid> that I once read. But because he loves, Just as he endured the pain of tearing his flesh and gained two legs to come see his lover… When we meet again, Master will probably have changed a lot, right? The Master’s speech, behavior, and habits that were familiar to everyone… It would be less dangerous if no one recognizes that you’re Master. I said I would stay by Oscar’s side, who would be alone, but if I think about it, that would never have been a comfortable ending for him. I understand your heart, Master. Because you love me, you want me to continue to be happy with everyone else. But I believe. Because he loves me. And because he knows that I love him. That he will eventually return. I’ll wait patiently for just three and a half years. Because that’s likely when Master will try to return. I won’t forget, and every day, as if I’m with Master… While building memories like this. * * * [After the Pavilion Dynasty came to an end, a provisional parliament was formed under the leadership of the revolutionary forces. The parliament first abolished all imperial laws and….] * * * 1786, June 2, the 15th letter. Master, Dad is busy these days. He is completely revising the law code that the imperial family had created arbitrarily. Now, if a noble hits a commoner, they’ll be arrested and punished. It’s something that should’ve been this way from the start, but it’s amazing that it’s finally happening, isn’t it? * * * Though the imperial royal family has fallen, the people still believe in and love the gods. This is because everyone knew that the emperor was not a god, and that the true will of God was to punish the imperial family. While the revolutionary provisional government was troubled by the issue of changing the country’s name, there were even organizations that emerged, issuing statements demanding that the name of a god be used in the national title. The tone of worshiping God was a bit tiresome, but… “There’s no need to intentionally break people’s faith. The problem was not their faith, but that they worshiped the human emperor as if he were a god.” Dad said so. No matter what, I asked Uncle Joseph once more if the country’s name was really going to be ‘Primera.’ “It’s not a bad choice, Lilith. The fact that the god who once punished authoritarian power is now protecting this country carries a significant meaning. It will serve as a warning to any power-hungry rulers who might dream of dictatorship.” It seemed to make sense, so I decided to just accept it. In fact, the biggest reason people praise the gods is… The existence of God and the evidence that God is intervening in our lives are still there. What is that? The place where I am now is, A training center for the ability user. Unlike before, all the children with the same-colored name tags were gathered together in the auditorium. “For the brave and young souls, God’s blessings and care will always be with you.” The prayer of Zadkiel, who had become the high priest, resonated. And I, sitting there pretending to be a noble attending the entrance ceremony,… 1sec I opened the cores of the little kids. The obligation for conscription had disappeared, but for now, the power of those with abilities was still needed. The existence of the evil spirits causing trouble all over the continent was still there. * * * 1786, July 14, 56th letter. Master, I went to the training center for the ability users today and opened the cores of the young friends. Just by coming to the training center, pyoong! their cores open, so people still believe that even without Primera, the gods are protecting this country. Ah! And there’s surprising news. Even though both mom and dad are abilities users, there are a few people without cores who turned out to be non-ability users. If this continues, ability users will disappear from this land after a long time. And it seems like the need for the abilities of power users will slowly fade away. In the past, we fought hard against the monsters, and as the gods withdrew, the holy beasts that had disappeared and became corrupted are now reappearing and earning their keep. Will things really be peaceful someday? * * * The history of the empire that spanned 18 centuries came to an end, and the name of the nation was changed. The capital city name ‘Pavil’, which symbolized the Pavilion Dynasty, was discussed for quite some time, and it became ‘Romwell’ when the nearby territory of Romwell was incorporated as the capital city. Although it was still in its infancy to use the grand term “reform”… It was quite satisfying to have dismantled the remnants of the old era that reminded people of the imperial monarchy’s dictatorship. * * * 1786, September 1, 96th letter. Master, the country name has finally been changed! It’s amazing! I told you that I majored in history, right? (I didn’t mention it, but I wrote it in about the 40th letter.) At that time, while studying the history of the abolition of monarchy and the establishment of a republic, I needed materials for my thesis on revolutions, so I read a fantasy novel called <The Rebellion of Dos>. However, the revolution was successful and the story ended, so I was curious about the latter part. I’m watching the latter part in real time right now…! It’s thrilling! * * * With the fall of the imperial family, the Wizard Tower also went through a transitional period of change. The power organization whose owner disappeared! …However, since Oscar had left behind a set of instructions, written in a tiny 8-point font across thirty A4-sized sheets of paper for his aide, everything was going smoothly without any issues. However, the vacant position of the Lord of the Wizard Tower was something that needed to be resolved urgently… * * * 1786, September 8th, 103rd Letter. Master, hahaha. I’ll laugh a little today. Hahahaha. (Laughing) Today, I gathered with Robel, the advisor who was entrusted with full authority by my master, and the researchers from the Wizard Tower to discuss the future of the Wizard Tower. The topic of the discussion was, “We can’t leave the position of the Lord of the Wizard Tower vacant any longer!” and everyone agreed that it should be entrusted to Robel. But! Robel said, “Oscar Manuel was like the emperor of the small empire that was the Wizard Tower! There was no dictator like him!” A shocking statement! “What’s the point of paying a lot of money? Stop the overtime! Stop working outside of regular hours!” A bold statement! “This country no longer has an emperor, so what good can a Lord of the Wizard Tower do? We won’t repeat the dictatorship of Oscar Manuel!” Hahahahahahahahahahahaha I know it was a bit harsh, but I guess he was feeling burdened. So, the small empire that Master had ruled as a dictator will, for the time being, maintain a republic instead of a monarchy. Oh, funny, the Emperor of the Wizard Tower, hahahaha How much did he manipulate the researchers? hahahaha * * * 1787, February 18th, 247th letter. Master, happy 25th birthday! Last year, we ate cake and blew out candles together on your birthday, but this time, I’m sad because we can’t be together. Hmm… After calculating, I think I’ll be able to celebrate your 28th birthday in person. Right? You’ll be back then, right? * * * 1787, May 19, 332nd letter. Master, it’s my birthday today! I’m fifteen! * * * 1789, February 18, 859th letter. Happy twenty-seventh birthday, Master! Wow! I first met you when you were seventeen, and time really flies! It’s already been ten years… I suddenly wondered, have you ever been in a relationship? (You probably aren’t curious, but my love life is perfectly fine.) What if you have a girlfriend and want to live there forever? That’s a bit… You have to come see me. I think of you every single day without fail and wait for you. Promise! * * * Three years had passed since the empire’s revolution, and a new era had begun. 1789. The Duchy of Primera, the capital city of Romwell. Duke Rubinstein’s residence. Knock, knock, knock. Enoch called his daughter with a playful knock. “Princess~ Are you ready?” “Mhm, Dad! Come in!” When he opened the door and went in, Lilith, who was in front of the desk, put down her pen and stood up. His daughter, now seventeen, had already grown up three years ago, and she looked no different than she did back then. She was still pretty, bright, and lovely. “Who raised our daughter so beautifully?” Enoch wiped his nose with a proud face. “It’s Dad~” Even though she had grown into an adult, his daughter’s playful charm, as she kissed his cheek and crossed her arms, remained the same. “Let’s go!” “Let’s go!” The father and daughter, who were strikingly alike, left the house. An empty room. On Lilith’s desk, there were already three notebooks flipped through, with the fourth one open, ready to be written in. 1789, September 4, 1024th letter. Master, today is it. Are you coming to see me now? Are you going to wait exactly one more week from today? I love you. I miss you. A lot… Next chapter will be updated first on this website. Come back and
