Chapter 302: Webtoon Special Edition – Extra 14 Corin and His Children (7)
nOTo“Seems like something like second-year syndrome.”91ijr
tKnc“Second-year syndrome?”7ep2pL
WP0a5“Yes, well… she has a bit of that.”hM3Tm
30jtdI thought about how to explain the modern concept of second-year syndrome.M9j
HuJlMUWIn this world, there is no internet, but even so, there are quite a lot of people who suffer from this kind of strange condition.Ecqioss
p4OeyQmNeedless to say, the golemist Cranel also falls quite heavily into that category—though no, his is a different genre altogether.IMiu
YnrW“Believing that one has a noble lineage, that one hides great power, that one is actually a being with sealed power—”OQ1sF3
rp4RIah“…But all of that is true, isn’t it?”bNi3ND
ljY9F“Ah, that’s true.”eJbgKQd
EpRFjUrI did not see this twist coming!csl47
G3HWFinn has divine lineage, enormous latent power, and her divinity is sealed to allow normal growth…pwV
15klCCR“Everything fits too perfectly.”2HqTKl
1NGhCodThe world is unpredictable. It turns out that the child with second-year syndrome was not fantasy, but reality.FnfqyWG
Yt7r“Well, I don’t think there’s much to worry about.”YiG
W5ogfDH“Is it really fine?”GvYJ86
WgIcErin asked with a worried expression, but I didn’t make much of it.mQCO7q
Fkmparh“Those kinds of things are just a phase. They heal on their own over time.”RMe
BGEIt’s jokingly called an illness, but in the end it also becomes a childhood memory.zPR
DFWhpFI myself, when I was little, dreamed of becoming a hero and saving the world—ah, wait, I actually did do that.SC7e
MrCiV“Anyway. Finn isn’t sick or strange; she’s just a bit precocious. And I have a good idea.”GHmIpS
IDe“A good idea?”ajMK
J5YGErin blinked with her eyes wide open. I twisted the corner of my lips.6Jlped
XVZsvT***N1h6g
6FB9The place where Finn usually spent her time wasn’t fixed, but she often played in the Castle of Shadows, Erin’s territory.n9xkH
WQGNAmIt was dark and gloomy, a place that didn’t seem very suitable for a child’s education, but since it was the domain where Erin had lived for countless years, it seemed instinctively familiar to her.UolA8
cMhDwK“Ngh! The sealed left arm that grows stronger in the domain of darkness! Calm down, Black Flame Dragon! Pacify your rage!”9Q43j
EADBqSaying that, Finn Danua pressed hard against her own arm. Josephine, who was watching the scene, shook her head.D4e5f
oqmEY“I don’t understand absolutely anything she’s saying.”D7iEmD
KpHm5RJosephine had taught for decades at Merkabah Academy, but even she didn’t know how to handle a case like this.ZMD4ulL
PFT0sOne could say the girl played on her own without any problems, but the real issue was that she always dragged Josephine into her world, assigning her roles like the Space-Time Administration Department or a hundred-year-old golden dragon.IBcjSOx
0WADf‘I said I’m not Gold Miss…!’BmsCLPG
M0GJ5D2Witches live a long time, so marrying late is no problem.B3iis7J
8zfh“Gold Digger! The time has come to release your hidden power!”Ku57be
WCfMwR8“E-eh… please, it’s Gold Miss.”GvqxnB
hKTNU“Bah! That’s not important! It’s time to release the sealed demonic power!”bGWcen8
KgmcFh“Who in the world is this child fighting with…?”47sqw
a6pXvThat was when it happened.HOC
NqCnMRJosephine doubted her own eyes.DjBYr
bxbFrom deep within the Castle of Shadows, beyond the darkness, two figures were approaching.Q68kmK
9c9Corin and Erin.KbdGFx
qBeIt was only natural, since only the two of them lived in that castle.LiQk4Z
eKUywuThe problem was their attire.SlFwON7
E9rTyNbCorin had one eye completely bandaged, and Erin was wearing a rather aggressive outfit with black wings.t5i
3263pj“W-what… what is this? What are you two doing?”X7r
Cnw4DWx“Hahahaha, have you asked for our names? Then it’s only natural that we answer!”oMuEz2H
NCp9Y“T-to prevent the destruction of the world…”9Zk1
AwF“To protect world peace!”vZOn
io0d“Love and truth, spreading darkness—”qamm
cYY“Speak louder, Darkness!”O9yYXve
008FXEZSmack!72P4E22
LAUcI0BCorin slapped Erin on her bare back.NpT
SAInDe“Hii! L-love and truth, spreading darkness!”kXDtxeJ
eIg7JH6“From here on, we’ll skip the middle part to avoid copyright issues. I am Justice!”fq4idVb
FhdD“A-and I… Darkness.”zKq
8STv“Ah, I should’ve brought Deokgu. What a waste. He would’ve fit perfectly with the ‘I’m a puppy’ bit.”q0rHz
NUajV“C-Corin… you broke character. And Deokgu would never have agreed.”R21Ka
3wFvAt Erin’s remark, Corin shamelessly poked the side of her chest.REZbDH
T8i“Darkness! What are you saying? I am Justice! The legitimate successor of Heavenly Demon Michael Jackson, Heavenly Demon Kim Corin! I don’t know anyone like that!”vvyjR0K
tnjTFgy“Hii!”dgtwCEW
oM2s“You two… what the hell are you doing?”L7lT
3P9MdjIgnoring Josephine’s interruption, Corin turned his head toward Finn.e53JR
OQv“Hahahaha, persistent bastards. Causing trouble again, were you? Gold Digger! No—Gold Miss Dragon! And reincarnation of Bloody Crazy Harmageddon who carries the sealed Black Flame Dragon!”i2Yfi
8k4QYFd“Ah……”KgC5COy
v9BsA07Finn, who had been stunned for a moment, seemed to understand something and replied.crOnn2
nxSWIc“You’re the dogs of the Space-Time Administration Department!”lnGtkky
l8krCm“Correct! Did you think you could escape our pursuit while carrying the sealed Black Flame Dragon?”h00Xx
kkVZLwC“What have you been talking about this whole time…?”8oh
4XCBrAt that moment, Josephine met Erin’s gaze—the one wearing that extreme winged outfit.McK
1vbO‘Go along with it now.’eASXTFd
fFxLS‘…And that outfit?’D30TOI
ceQ7dX‘I don’t know! Corin made me put it on! It wasn’t my decision!’MQi0XF
zN6Josephine recalled how Corin used to make them wear anything whenever he asked—the last time it had been a nurse uniform taken from who knows where.bHhj4
zM9Remembering that role-play scene of a millionaire patient and nurses, she resigned herself to the fact that yet another strange performance had begun.KU2y7Az
DGzGS“Today is the day we protect the order of space-time! Bloody Crazy Harmageddon!”qQ4v
FXj2bvu“It won’t go the way you want, you bastards of the Space-Time Administration Department!”vnIIuoD
0HM“Explode, reality!”KvLN
3Dlb6“Burst, synapses!”UJlrl
gg6cBut watching the scene—KLC
gcvMwE“Well, in the end, it’s just a father playing normally with his daughter.”Arf
azbuZ“Right?”PHXh
jTiaNBoth of them smiled warmly as they watched the father–daughter pair having fun.yTpo
qkN“I shall stand above the heavens!”Bqkf
hgf“At last you reveal your ambition, ponytail! I’ll stop you no matter the cost!”SgL
ghqzx“Hahaha, don’t use such harsh words. You look. weak.”2ATUN
kSXP“Kuh! Kisama! Bankai!”8Bh8vLR
t62vz03“Gear Seconddoooo!!”V2I
awPS6“…..”7fD
DUyIs it just my imagination, or does it look like she’s enjoying this a lot too?7oU
dYyEL8***2x6
cx3NlIf there was a truly enormous change on the continent after the War of the Sun, it was the great transformation of the religious world.eWSVdrt
kue8hkAfter the internal purge of the New Clergy carried out by Estelle Hadassa El Ras, First Princess of the Kingdom of El Ras and a saint, the absorption of the Old Clergy took place following the War of the Sun.3xpRfQv
sVxWAnd furthermore, the doctrinal unification with the Heavenly Sect of the East.jFV0yD
g0Y3KSo then, who is the human of the highest status in this world?oRAsQf
Y8OzCIf we set aside the God of the Sun, Corin Loch—already a great hero beyond all categories—the candidates are reduced to two.lRhdb1c
MWG1InAMarie Dunaleff, future duchess of the Empire of the Southern Papa and mistress of the new magic tower, Dunaleff Tower.nzfHXCr
7KSOAnd Estelle Hadassa El Ras, the only Grand Saint who achieved a colossal religious unification that transcended continents.8G9
buPbVBoth were born as members of royalty or the highest nobility, and among Corin’s wives they possess political and economic influence without comparison.l03EIk
bKByCould it be because of that influence?Jgx3rkg
Y42FloeAbigail, Estelle’s eldest daughter, had a distinctly “royal” character, very different from Corin’s other children.qjuy8
DvT“Princess, today it is Barsil aromatic oil. Would you like to try the fragrance?”B4N
RmDrZl“Hmm~ It’s not bad. You know today is an important day, right? Make sure to take good care of me.”NOtz4G
wmn“Of course, Princess.”fzBa
naFToday she would participate in a religious ceremony as a princess of the kingdom and as the daughter of Estelle, head of the Holy Tribunal.YmtFg7
3ylKijAlthough in practice she would only show her face and fulfill a symbolic role, Abigail took the matter very seriously.O5Kn9
a7DBqx“But the Supreme Pontiff said it wasn’t necessary for me to participate. Do I really need to go out?”bLqe
wS6yQ47“It will be a boring time for you, Princess Abigail.”N1t2qg
UyYwDespite the attendants’ care and concern, Abigail replied while puffing out her chest.UxLADV
XTI“I’m not a child!”atD71
doD1qAg“But you are still young in age…”EIRW
MPazWfb“For royalty, as noble as blood are also obligations. I am the daughter of the God of the Sun and of the future Goddess of the Earth. If I appear childish before the believers, what will they think of Mother?”pDzOEn
g9iCertainly, the faithful of the Cult of the God of the Sun placed great expectations not only on Corin’s wives, but also on his children.umkVl
h7anQ6CAfter all, they were not mere humans born in this land, but genuine divine descendants, bearers of divine power from birth.WLC
iHt“If they show behavior unworthy of children of the gods, like Park Sirin or oppa Deokgu, faith in the Cult of the God of the Sun will weaken. That’s why I, with legitimate royal blood, must stand out!”1rK
6y0Oq9Regardless of that, Corin believed that children should simply grow as children, but Abigail, just like her mother, was full of ambition.rVwl4rs
v8XZyAmong Corin’s innumerable children, she believed herself the most worthy to represent the descendants of the gods, and she intended to occupy a priority position among the future deities.fpFDL
iUvzuS“Everything is ready, Princess.”jEHSfW
NhbEvLAbigail reinforced her confidence as she looked at herself in the mirror. Her pink hair, inherited from her mother, was her greatest pride.mnZ
0vgetoJ“Perfect! The hairstyle is impeccable! And the clothes too, except that it feels a bit cool under the arms!”QxXx4MX
5R6“Saintly vestments prioritize a sense of openness.”urz
Tjr“Ah, but I can’t let my belly button get cold during my growth period. I’ll put on a sash underneath.”tgVi
AID6pAfter finishing her preparations, Abigail left her palace and headed toward the carriage.kYfTg6t
3cXLAnd there she encountered an unexpected figure.CuPHz9b
DeL7“Huh? My… Miruam, Crown Princess?”XLqZbcr
VCcA beauty with red hair and a crimson dress. Miruam was waiting for her inside the carriage.Jyn
PJEXFNG“Get in, Abigail.”KSTvYhN
nMsApm“Ah, y-yes… yes!”I6HRNx
QXS9IOoAbigail bowed awkwardly and got into the carriage. Miruam watched her with an elegant smile.1pcPk
43zoYmn“They say you’ll be participating in the ceremony. That’s admirable.”Z9r6NTi
NCe4tIF“Y-yes! It’s my duty as my parents’ daughter and as a member of royalty!”ggv
yoS“They don’t usually worry about such things.”JBKVS0
QyxMiruam smiled elegantly. Abigail etched that image into her memory.y1EWN
5UcidbThat was how a true member of royalty should smile.VCwka
bRXFAlthough Abigail was Estelle’s daughter, much of her conduct and sense of royal duty she had learned from Miruam, Estelle’s younger sister.HcSE
zOznirAUnlike Estelle, free to the point of seeming capricious, Miruam possessed the grace and nobility proper to royalty.55bu
A67Moreover, while Estelle was the pontiff of the Unified Cult, Miruam held the position of Crown Princess, the future queen of the Kingdom of El Ras.KNrLqO
V6v“Estelle will already be there. Let’s go together to the temple.”1mo
Vk2“Y-yes, Aunt!”MhyVE
RmOCorin’s children called the other mothers “mom” with their names added. Park Hayeon also said “Mom Marie” or “Mom Alisha.”2MN
tIHHowever, Miruam asked for different treatment from the children who called her mom.rHcQ4
qDfVjEIt was unclear whether this was due to strict royal protocol, but it wasn’t as though she acted distant.8Yd
0e0“Rest a bit during the trip. It’s fine.”yeK6g
eZqHJy8“Really… I can?”HuS
4BsQ“Yes. They’ll fix your hair again at the venue.”qjYA2
tk6iMiruam patted her lap lightly. Abigail rested her head on her thigh without hesitation.cIMiyH
ItdY6A warm, gentle hand stroked her hair.OsajpGA
trGXjeMiruam was especially attentive to her husband’s children.uCHqtg
vO1If Park Sirin was the most feared mother, Miruam was without a doubt the most considerate.vfVT
ZYB‘But then… why doesn’t the Crown Princess have children?’9P26VLN
glKGThe doubt suddenly arose.KyDqr
hMqSFXAThere were families where, like with Mom Alisha or Mom Lunia, two more siblings were born every year.C6IOTem
bPCBlOr cases like Mom Hwaran, who had only one and raised him well.2m5C9xB
zJY0y6With so many siblings, Kang Hyeok or Finn Danua didn’t feel lonely, and Abigail also had a newborn little brother.Bhf
fgUQBut Miruam.i5D5U
CNMhShe hadn’t had a single child.s3cck
yGawBJWhy would that be?9br
