Ending Maker SS #27 Reunion
The first thing Uther and Cordelia did upon returning from Earth was to check the date.
“How long has it been?”
The flow of time was different on Earth and in the Pleiades.
So much so that 20 years here would only last 13 months on Earth.
So, by simple calculation, while Uther and Cordelia spent two months on Earth, nearly three years could have passed in the Pleiades.
Of course, if that had really been the case, Uther and Cordelia would have given up on their journey to Earth in the first place.
Even if they had forced it, they probably wouldn’t have spent even close to two months on Earth.
“It’s been three months.”
“Oh, is it exactly as calculated?”
Each world moved along a certain orbit, like the movement of stars.
That is, there are times when each world gets closer and each world gets further away.
‘That’s why Heaven and Hell lost their connection, and why a connection between Hell and the Pleiades suddenly appeared…’
It was also one of the reasons why I had to watch the deaths of the archangels, including Solari, in the heavens.
At that time, the distance between the heavens and the Pleiades was so great that immediate intervention was impossible.
‘Anyway.’
Juder, combining his experiences in Hell and the knowledge of the young god Atalia, calculated the cycle of the distance between Earth and the Pleiades getting closer and further apart, and realized that not only the distance between the two worlds, but also the flow of time had changed once again.
‘I think there will be a difference of about 1.5 times.’
A day on Earth is one and a half days in the Pleiades.
It was a drastic change, almost 14 times more than before, but there was a good reason for it.
One was the fact that the flow of time and the distance between worlds were greatly distorted in the process of the young god Atalia being pasted into the world several times.
As the distortion was resolved and returned to normal, the gap in the flow of time returned to a normal level.
‘No matter how different the world is, it’s more abnormal if the flow of time differs by more than 20 times.’
The second reason was also Auriel – and the fight with Asmodeus.
This is because the Pleiades’ cycle was greatly affected during the forced connection and disconnection, accelerating the ‘return to normal’ process.
“Oh, okay. Anyway, it’s been three months.”
“Well, that’s true. If you think about it without all the complicated details.”
At Uther’s answer, Cordelia suddenly narrowed her eyes, made a pained face, and groaned.
Thanks to that, a surprised Uder quickly looked at Cordelia and asked.
“Why all of a sudden? Are you sick or something?”
“No, I just suddenly feel so sad because I haven’t seen our angelic little ones in three months. Kids grow up so fast.”
Gail and Adelia’s children.
That is, it was a story about Cordelia’s twin nieces and nephews.
At Cordelia’s words, Uther sighed in relief, shrugged, and said.
“How much could have changed in three months? At most, he could babble, sit up on his own, or stand while holding onto a wall… That’s probably the extent of the change.”
“Oh my god! This is a huge change!”
How can you say all that as if it were no big deal?
When Cordelia glared at him with both hands on her waist, Uther held out both hands as if to calm her down and said.
“Whoa, calm down.”
“Didn’t I say you’d ask me if I did that?”
“You don’t have to do it. Just yesterday, in bed, here and there······.”
“Wow!”
As Cordelia bit Uther’s hand, Uther giggled and continued talking.
“It doesn’t hurt at all?”
“It’s all fake!”
Because Yuder’s body was capable of deflecting even the most common swords with ease.
As Cordelia bit Uther’s hand and made a muffled voice, Uther pinched Cordelia’s cheek with his free hand and said.
“And you have the blood of an angel in your veins? It’s a bit unfortunate, but your growth will be slower than that of your peers.”
“really?”
“Oh, really.”
“Ugh.”
“Why again.”
“No, that… It’s good to be able to see your young appearance for a long time, but that means your growth is slow, so what should I say about those around you?”
“I don’t think the gap is so great that you’ll feel alienated.”
“Is that wrong?”
As Cordelia muttered with a face that still seemed troubled and worried, Uther smiled again and looked around before speaking.
“Anyway, let’s go out and meet some people first. I’m curious about what happened in the past three months.”
“Yeah! I want to meet Dahlia too.”
Cordelia smiled brightly and hugged Uther’s arm, and Uther left the secret room with Cordelia.
&
“master!”
Uther and Cordelia, the two kings of the sacred kingdom of Eudellia and the masters of the sacred palace, did not have a child yet.
In other words, no one in the shrine was to be called ‘Master.’
But despite that, there was one person who used the title of ‘Master.’
“Maya!”
Yuder shouted happily and quickly closed the distance between himself and Mai.
She was the head maid and real power in the August Bayer County, and was now called Countess Tantalot.
The official title of the chief attendant of the shrine.
Instead of a maid’s uniform, she wore an elegant Rococo dress. She was leading the maids in charge of the shrine, but as soon as she came across Uder and Cordelia, she stopped and her eyes widened.
“Maya!”
And then Uther hugged Maia tightly.
“I missed you, Maya.”
As if a simple hug wasn’t enough, Yuder grabbed Maia’s waist with both hands and lifted her up high.
And round and round.
Yuder, who had been spinning around in a circle, hugged Maia tightly again, who let out a small scream and eventually an uncontrollable laugh.
“I really missed you.”
Is it because I saw Natasha?
That was probably right.
As I reminisced about my childhood as Kang Jin-ho, I remembered the times when I grew up as Yuder.
At the center of the young god Atalia’s pasting was always Yuder, who remembered all his past lives most accurately.
Childhood repeated over and over again.
And every time, Maia loved him like a mother, taking the place of his mother who passed away when he was a baby.
“Maya.”
As Uther spoke again and hugged Maia tightly, Maia also strengthened her arms that were holding Uther.
Although Yuder’s attitude was a bit more aggressive than usual, Yuder was still a precious family member to Maia.
Maia was also very happy to see them again after three months.
“My little master.”
Maia whispered very softly and smiled softly with her eyes closed, and so did Uther.
And after a while, when the hug ended.
“Ahem.”
When Maia felt the eyes of those around her who had been blinking while hugging Yuder, she quickly cleared her throat and straightened her posture and expression.
It would be understandable for the maids who had been at the shrine for a long time to be like that, but there were also new maids in this position.
The young, handsome new king and the beautiful attendant shared a very close embrace.
And that too in front of the wife of a new king – that is, another new king!
One of the maids looked at her with a frightened expression, another looked at Cordelia with a frightened expression, and another covered her mouth with both hands and squeaked silently.
Maia, whose face turned red because of this, looked at Yuder with a slightly resentful gaze.
“Ugh, other people are watching. You idiot.”
And there’s one person who doesn’t care.
Cordelia, who had just kicked Uder’s butt, turned to Maia instead of the veteran maids who were saying, “This happens all the time,” and the maids who were surprised and saying, “Wow, the beginning of a fight between a married couple?!” and immediately spread her arms.
“I missed you, Maya.”
“I missed you two so much too.”
As Maia and Cordelia shared a rather deep hug, a strange look of relief appeared on the faces of the new maids.
Cordelia, who chuckled again at that sight, asked Maia.
“What about Dahlia?”
“Count Ale is patrolling the border of the Shrine. He is due back today, so you will be able to see him soon.”
Just as Maia became a countess, Dahlia also became a countess.
The leader of the Sacred Knights who defend the sacred palace of the sacred nation of Eudellia.
Since the Holy Nation of Eudellia was only slightly larger than an ordinary county in terms of size, it didn’t take long to patrol the entire border.
‘You can make rice cakes in one or two days.’
Since you said you were coming today, it looks like you left yesterday.
“Okay, then please reserve a table for dinner tonight. I want to have Maia, Dahlia, and the four of us together.”
“I will prepare as you command.”
As Maia bowed gracefully, Cordelia smiled brightly, and the maids blushed and let out small exclamations at her smile.
[I was truly amazed by Cordelia’s beautiful – no, radiant – beauty.]
[What is this?]
Cordelia’s face turned red at the sound of Yuder’s narration in her head, and she kicked Yuder’s butt again. Yuder giggled and hugged Cordelia’s waist.
&
Usually, many people attended the dinner table of the king and queen.
A person who checks the symptoms to see if there is poisoning.
Servants to serve meals.
Soldiers in charge of escort in case of an unexpected situation.
If you bring someone with you for a meal, the scale of the meal tends to be larger.
The dining table was also very large, so the distance between those eating was far enough that it was difficult to tell whether they were eating together or just eating in the same place.
But in the Holy Land of Eudellia, it was difficult to find such a sight.
“The danger of poisoning!”
“Yeah, it doesn’t work.”
In reality, it worked, but anyway, it was something that could be done by casting a spell once before eating.
And in fact, it would have been impossible to sneak a poison into the food that could harm Uther and Cordelia.
‘If it’s not a poison that melts the food as soon as you put it in, then it won’t even get through.’
Anyway, for this reason, those who saw the signs were left out, and those who escorted them had no choice but to leave as well.
“Who is protecting whom?”
Anyone who asked with a tilt of the head would have to back down.
The reality was that even the Ten Swordsmen would become infinitely small in front of Yuder and Cordelia.
The color fades and the escort disappears.
“I have hands too.”
The market servants and attendants are also leaving in large numbers.
“I like eating it up close.”
Whose words will you disobey?
That is why the dining scene of the couple in the Holy Kingdom of Eudellia was so different from that of a normal kingdom.
“Wow, this is so delicious.”
“I’m glad you like it.”
Even though she was in the middle of a banquet with the royal couple, Maia answered naturally as if she was used to it. Cordelia smiled brightly and cut the chicken dish that was in a large bowl with her own hands and placed it on Maia and Dahlia’s plates.
“Eat a lot.”
“Yes, Miss.”
Cordelia smiled happily again as Maia and Dahlia answered together.
And just one person.
Even in the luxury of enjoying dinner among beautiful women, there is one man who frowns.
“I am?”
“I don’t have hands or feet. You eat it.”
When Cordelia spoke excitedly on purpose, Uther looked upset, and Maia and Dahlia laughed again at that sight.
“But Maia. Nothing major happened while we were gone, right?”
In response to Uther’s question, Maia slowly nodded and began to tell the story of what had happened one by one.
The story of merchants coming and going in the Kingdom of Seilun.
Various minor incidents that occurred at the shrine.
It was more like small talk at a dinner table than a formal report.
“Nothing really happened. Peace is the best.”
It was when Cordelia spoke with a satisfied face.
“I have something to give you both.”
Dahlia, who had said so, took out a letter she had brought with her.
“This is a letter I received from the messenger of Count Bayer’s family whom I encountered while on patrol.”
It seems that he received it on his way here.
“Father?”
“I think my brother sent it.”
It was Gale who knew that Uther and Cordelia had left for Earth.
But seeing that he sent a letter to the shrine, I wonder if something urgent came up.
Jude and Cordelia looked at each other and quickly opened the letter.
&
“Oh my gosh! Hey kids! Auntie is coming!”
As Cordelia made a joke with her lisp, the twins lying in their crib burst into laughter.
“Oh my, you’re so pretty whenever I see you. I don’t know why you’re so pretty.”
Cordelia, her face clouded over, gently grabbed the tiny hands of the babies reaching out to her and laughed again.
“If it’s so good, why don’t you have one too?”
Cordelia pursed her lips at Adelia’s words.
“Huh, is that something you can do?”
“I told you that if you work hard, it will work out? Hard. Very hard. With all your heart and soul.”
As Adelia spoke with a slightly arrogant tone, Cordelia pursed her lips again and looked at the babies again.
“You still haven’t decided on a name?”
“My father is still thinking about it. Well… he declared that if he can’t decide by the end of this week, I’ll do whatever I want.”
It’s been more than half a year since the babies were born, but they still don’t have names. How can that be?
As Adelia grumbled softly, Cordelia giggled and asked again.
“What about your father-in-law?”
“You said you’d leave the naming up to us… Actually, it’s been quite some time since I’ve seen you.”
“Huh? You’re not back yet?”
Before leaving for Earth – that is, it was Count Bayer who set out on his journey about four months ago.
But he hasn’t come back yet.
Could it be that you have gone to the East?
“It feels like you’re in the empire.”
“To the Empire? Why?”
When Cordelia asked again, Adelia pursed her lips instead of answering right away and made a gesture with her hand.
“Sister?”
“Sit here.”
Because Adelia’s attitude and tone of speech were unusual, Cordelia unconsciously kept her mouth shut and sat down next to Adelia.
And at the same time.
The office of Count Bayer, located a little away from the first floor where Adelia and Cordelia are located.
Gail and Uther sat facing each other across a low table.
“Uder.”
“Yes, brother.”
The letter from Count Bayer that arrived yesterday did not contain very long content.
If we exclude the greetings above and below, it can be summarized as follows.
[Come home.]
What’s happening all of a sudden?
And why didn’t you reveal the reason?
From what I found out on the way here, it didn’t seem like there was any particular trouble at Count Bayer’s house.
There was nothing strange about the servants’ behavior, and Gail and Adelia showed no signs of anything unusual.
So what is it?
What’s going on?
Gail took another deep breath, straightened her posture, and opened her mouth.
“Don’t be too surprised when you hear this.”
An introduction that would come out when telling a story that is bound to surprise those who hear it.
That’s why Uder swallowed dry saliva without realizing it and focused on Gale.
What’s going on?
What on earth happened to make my brother act like this?
Gail closed her eyes.
Not only Yuder, but he also took another deep breath, perhaps to calm himself down, before opening his eyes and continuing to speak.
“Yuder, your mother has returned.”
“yes?”
“Mother has returned.”
Gale spoke again, and Uther couldn’t understand.
That would be the case, since his mother had already passed away.
Are you saying that you were resurrected as an undead? The remnants of the demon followers-
As the furious Uther abruptly rose from his seat, Gale also quickly stood up.
He realized in an instant what Yuder was thinking and quickly reached out his hand and said.
“No, that’s not it. It’s literal.”
“older brother?”
“My mother is alive. And now, she is coming home.”
Uther looked at Gale with a blank expression.
I couldn’t say anything – no, I couldn’t think of anything.
