Chapter 303: Webtoon Special Edition – Extra 15 Corin and His Children (8)
hlaAfter the rise of the Church of the Sun, which integrated the old sect and the new one, its power grew exponentially.JIoyr
cvDgzK7Originally, gold and luxury are not considered virtues for the religious, but using the abundant offerings to elevate the dignity of the faith is, in a way, something natural.wLZ02P
KsHfThe Grand Temple of the Church of the Sun was decorated with white marble that seemed to purify the soul just by looking at it, and golden ornaments that powerfully displayed the magnificence of the sect’s power.qMVk
ZDRSK1T“Wow~”AcM0G
WGt1Although she had already come many times, every time Abigail arrived she could not help but marvel at the might of the Church.eHC6
c7IpTThis was the place where Mom worked.wIBg
vgUAnd the place where Dad was served.TkeJyq
00thThinking that it would also be their home made her feel proud for no particular reason.G63qXd
3hNfzbO“Be careful not to fall.”vXjkO
0uSAMiruam took the hand of Abigail, who looked as though she were about to jump out of the carriage, and descended gracefully.LnKp5mn
jsRo1Without a doubt, that kind of bearing was something worth imitating from Mom Miruam.RugqRL
HDdo0S“Where could Mom be?”k6x
dKQyzp“I don’t know. The Vatican office is a bit further inside—well, there’s no need to look for her.”wfctuH
sRM3Miruam pointed toward a conspicuous pink glow visible beyond the carriage area.TYFs2
L8GgQ9The extravagant figure of the Vatican’s leader stood out no matter where one looked.UsoN9A
V7gTCg4Rather than a great saint of the Church, she looked more like the leader of a suspicious cult, and yet it was hard to believe that until recently she had been a devout saint.2VVMBhM
ksNh“Abigail! My daughter!”fTDZj
SBYKU7One of Corin Loch’s wives, and the only Great Saint and Pope of the Church of the Sun.EDDraAR
Quu5ZxyEstelle opened her arms with an affectionate smile toward her daughter who had come to visit the Church.ItYob
Nbjp“Mom…!”G4t
tuDNAbigail threw herself into her arms.1dIHkD2
Wh1Estelle, while holding a newborn baby, naturally managed to embrace Abigail as well.d14
iceE“My daughter, shouldn’t you greet your little brother?”rZoKQ
TWt“Johan, hello! Have you been well?”XgU
yomg“Abuba.”z4v
TYBuNPaAlthough he had not even been weaned yet, Abigail kissed her little brother’s cheek as if he were already a proper little person.rauC
t2uKThen Miruam approached the three of them.drMhxfM
Xz46GqI“He looks healthy.”EyuOW
Jn3ssx“Oh~ little sister, it’s been a while. Why don’t you come more often? It’s not that far from the royal palace.”uWUI2
Z6fH0KG“I’m far too worldly to sit around watching you play at being a cult leader.”OSfg4Gb
XQ8DQ“It’s not a cult, it’s a god who truly exists.”m2C
WUaXoT“I’m not talking about whether it exists or not, but about the method.”C4wIl
5G3SThough the tone was cold, this way of speaking was, in fact, normal between them.qHGQ7cI
mOzMoreover, since both had become wives of the same man, their relationship had softened considerably.oS8PZ
SyBOODZOriginally, they were political rivals representing the old and the new, opposed over the throne.pV3X
ywDBTwo irreconcilable enemies who now argued like ordinary sisters.Qu4P
J3Sm“Abigail, you shouldn’t be like Mom Miruam. If you’re that cynical, even your chest size will shrink.”FTHNmcN
J1fKT“R-really?”jcn6D7
PIiqIAbigail looked back and forth between Estelle and Miruam.53d5
OCANVBTMore precisely, she looked at their chests.hNV0
QhPEIndeed, it seemed there would not be much milk to feed a baby.NnQzu
BaPMH0“What are you telling a child?!”JVm
vSQcGZUMiruam shouted angrily, while Estelle let out a soft giggle.NX5JIRR
S0je2mThen Estelle turned around, carrying the two children.MdeyWW
VV27“The ceremony will start soon. Let’s talk later.”DpSWT
dFeLxW“Haah……”oGFuaX
5j1ZAT8Miruam sighed and followed her in silence.VxgC
NCDQH***S4j
vmlA sermon, by nature, is a boring and drowsy affair.O9l3hX
LXho6KWhen religious interpretations and prayers are repeated over and over, children who should be running around and playing inevitably grow sleepy.xvRots
Doz“Fuaaaah…”5GG6C
5FlAbigail was about to yawn when she snapped back to herself.cHYegIF
jWY6r‘No, no. That won’t do. The believers are watching me. As the daughter of the Saint, I must set an example.’cPN
P3hL3V2During Estelle’s sermon, the front-row seats of the ritual hall were reserved for Miruam and Abigail.7YCRSxz
WHYY5Although Abigail tried to stay completely alert under the gazes of the believers, for a child it was very difficult to endure sitting still and doing nothing for such a long time.cR8tt
ul7xGf“Abigail.”wHsrer9
euy“Ah! I-I wasn’t sleeping!”LsRlf
wksZ8LyAt her response, the surrounding believers let out soft chuckles.CLp
DTza9PPAbigail’s face turned red, but to them the girl’s reaction was simply adorable.EV8ik
h6cgtd1“It’s fine. If you’re sleepy, lie down and sleep.”zYsp
Ofb3O“No, I can’t. I’m royalty of El Ras and the daughter of the God of the Sun, and…”XGhVlB
ZM9J3vFThat was why she had to be a role model.2LSgfp
0pCRShe couldn’t behave recklessly like Deokgu oppa or Park Hayeon; that would be unseemly.cKxlFl
4Bk3alZHowever, Miruam gently took Abigail’s hand and smiled softly at her.6xO
3QQ“If it were your dad, he’d have been asleep a long time ago.”FolyK
GC5w5i“R-really?”e8w
WSg“So it’s fine. Rest your head on my lap and sleep a little. The sermon still has a long way to go.”iwrBtQI
1He1At Miruam’s insistence, Abigail glanced around cautiously and finally rested her head on her lap.LJM
shzThe gentle stroking of her hair relaxed her, and soon sleep overcame her.O8WTafz
VV9BWhen the sermon ended, Miruam stopped the maids who tried to wake Abigail.SFK
SroD6HK“I’ll carry her.”LYlW
065IWithout even knowing that the ritual had ended, Abigail slept soundly as Miruam carried her toward the Pope’s resting room.9OCD4O6
Thl3RAll eyes turned toward them, but they were warm gazes.7bPw0M
tIa— Look, Princess Abigail is asleep.SENYbXd
nAyZq0H— She looks like an angel, doesn’t she? How adorable.XXwt8
HrnHdgAlthough she received a great deal of love and attention for being the daughter of a god, Abigail was still just a child her age.7xxvUX
98Ad5LMiruam thought that this kind of attention was what she truly deserved.FTWc
LC7yuo“Oh, little sister. Good work.”QbK
GZKIn the resting room was Estelle, breastfeeding her second child, Johan.KpWL9l
gBwoe“He still hasn’t been weaned?”fEHw
3kpTMiruam settled Abigail on the sofa across from them, lending her legs so she wouldn’t be uncomfortable.LYu
bJsZ“She hasn’t even turned one yet. She’ll probably stay like that for another half year.”FECWY
N9TGKa“There are men who can’t wean even as adults, so…”EV3VO
4S8“Hehe, you mean your husband, right?”uEAtWxJ
ybkEstelle joked, but Miruam smiled bitterly.SqS
rg0uSeeing Johan clinging to her sister’s chest looked strangely adorable to her.VSI0qR1
WU3Noticing Miruam’s gaze, Estelle understood that Johan was finished and slowly stood up.18fvSCZ
jzwC“Ah, the ritual was exhausting. Sister, help me a bit with the childcare.”4R1
WKMl86a“Eh? W-wait—!”PkMz
IGqJEWithout another word, Estelle handed her the baby.5RtaQU
PFzkzMiruam, flustered, looked down at the babbling child in her arms.dlho
LEeUw7L“If you like him that much, why don’t you make one yourself?”E7fyVC
Tig“……Don’t talk about children as if they were objects.”2oq8N
DNdTuo“Then why do you keep taking precautions if you like them so much?”Lgi
Cy5PFAmong Corin’s wives, Miruam was the only one who had no children.7vaY
KHoPAnd that was because she herself stopped it at the root. She couldn’t even explain the reason to her sister.fQf
M1bn‘How could I say it? That horrible sin…’BJtrdz
EFrchMiruam had once been pregnant.K7FO
FJpTIn a timeline that no longer existed, what Corin called the first iteration.7NAkl
QrqIz1dEven so, she abandoned everything for revenge—husband, child, family.v6uKO
t9sq1She sided with the Demon King Tates Valtazar, and the result was that Corin ended up killing both her and her child.BVEyd
sR4SoThat child no longer existed.DHgtLE
7VsEven if she became pregnant again, it wouldn’t be the same one.7pcYlwC
EDNnWith what right could she bring another into the world? A useless mother like her shouldn’t exist.cjzsW
MZ8“There are already many children. There’s no need for me to have one.”CUitKj
f4tUuA“Hmm~”.DRPxI
bQyiDWEstelle looked at her sister with a thoughtful expression.4RbClDG
rijYo6tUntil recently, they had been bitter enemies, political rivals fighting for the throne and representing opposing doctrines.I42KdIZ
dNdMAnd now they were sisters and family, wives of the same man.3utn6qV
bt8A relationship that could drive anyone crazy.o1hv
ffm“How dramatic. Have a little dignity.”eFB
hZG“So what? No one’s watching us here.”r9I1bku
LzLwSUi“And me?”BUtXb
IqhuPr“You’re no one.”ZwtM
kqp“……”gFABAik
omBVEa4Miruam blinked, speechless. Estelle wrapped an arm around her and smiled.vYpG9b
JBUnw“Did you hear this? They say Lunia and Alisha are exercising on the same bed with Corin’s brother.”R9wpN1
7Yon“…Are you seriously talking about that perversion?”bmJX6
a1aB6“But you did participate in the nurse game the other time, didn’t you?”xME
RFKFjNC“T-that was because he insisted so much…”oL7
PAK1“Corin is very greedy with family. In Arden, two children are born every year, and they already have the names prepared.”tYcO
sG4EQ“That’s because that family is messed up.”4zICvM
DAPEstelle laughed and hugged her sister.t64
k7hqUC“Aren’t you curious? What two sisters would do with one man in bed.”h0a
vYAkP“L-let go…!”HxAH
coIIBMiruam tried to break free, but it was impossible.IVt2K
jwFEstelle was the successor of the Goddess of the Earth and a fighter with monstrous strength.P0hOeM
06bJeKD“Tonight your brother will come. If you agree, we could share the bed…”Z0TT
TZ5oy6E“Do you want me to kill you?”Cm0LfV
0RoprM— Sssshk.QzV
VnIUnAThe decorative serpent on Miruam’s dress hissed.D75Rftt
BCpMidgardsormr, the world serpent, was reacting to the danger to its mistress.XF9i2f
w2j“Stop exaggerating.”hTsvovb
3Qr1FXTap! Estelle flicked her on the head, and the serpent returned to Miruam’s arms.PMe8dD
KowDpBP“Don’t make jokes like that again. It’s disgusting.”tRa
p1k“Hmm~ that wasn’t a joke.”8gJRv
3mFEstelle smiled calmly.kBSf17S
XKA2ZVw“I’m generous enough to share my husband with you. And just as I love Corin, I also love my sister. I’m always open.”tPd
gvVM“……”8vTt
wcTSpeechless, Miruam watched Estelle leave.icI
3Amu4“Hey! Take your children with you!”IDiv
2lmdd“Today I’m busy making the third one~”6LONqF
MAWEw“That…!”Xov
VkDC0SAt the sound of the voices, Abigail and Johan stirred in their sleep.xDyhE
nRp“Uuuh…”F2Pfz
ZetGQErMiruam carefully soothed them.JAsZl
m90i‘…Just nonsense.’3L1DxHv
GuhzKqYes. Nonsense.MrbTIV
1l2hzBut that night was hot.xG2lH
i1GVery hot.UOZP
