227 209. About the eyes




 After a morning of commotion, I came to the venue with Alexia, Caro, and Ms. Merlin.

 Merlin-san is already walking around with his hood down, since they knew about his eyes as of yesterday. He walks unabashedly and unafraid of the eyes of the people around him. He's a strong man.

 Caro is walking with a mask on, but she is probably worried about the gazes of those around her, so she follows me, squeezing my sleeve with her fingers. Alexia also occasionally asks Caro for concern.

 When I took the two of them to the same venue as yesterday, the kings of the nations were already waiting inside. Everyone's eyes naturally went to Merlin-san. No, only the Pope was looking at me seriously. When I nodded, the Pope nodded too.

 Yesterday's experiment was a success. It turns out that my idea wasn't out of line either.

'Ray. The fact that you brought her here means........

'Yes. Before we discuss it, I'd like to discuss her eyes first. And then about the curse on this continent.

 I return the words to His Majesty Raymond's words. And of course he came at it.

'Lord Ravert! Why do you bring a curse-bearer to this hall? What would you do if something happened to the king of the nations!

 It was Lot, the elven man from Forest Faria, I think. He exclaims. I had told Queen Titania yesterday to bring him to the hall today as well.

 Queen Titania had come to ask permission to use the Transference Magic Circle to return the troubled Lot to his country.

'About that, it's okay. There are no curses.

'How can you be so sure of that! Isn't that just you saying that because you want to protect that woman!

You're out of line, Lot. You need to learn to control yourself!

 Lot yells at me, as if his emotions have flared up. As expected, Queen Titania can't stand to watch, she warns me. Well, it may be a bit much in this place where the kings of all countries are present, but that's okay for now.

'That's fine, Queen Titania. It was Lord Lot, I believe. I'd like to talk about that and the Odd Eye.''

 When I say this, Lot falls silent and drops back. I look around at the kings of the various countries, making sure everyone is looking at me.

'First, let's have a look at her. She is Caroline Arcadia. She is the first princess of the Arcadia Papal States and my fiancée. Caro, can we go?

"Yeah, it's okay. Just hold my hand, please?

Yeah.

 Caro returns it to me shakily, but stoutly. I squeezed my left hand up as Caro asked. When Caro feels my warmth in her left hand, she takes a deep breath, and with her right hand she puts her hand on the screen and removes it.

 Caro has her eyes closed and slowly opens her eyelids. The kings of the nations, with the exception of the Pope, are amazed when they see it. That's not surprising. Because Caro's eyes are the odd eyes of this issue. Her right eye is the same blue color as the Pope's, but her left eye is glowing with a divine gold color.

 The only people she has an odd eye are the Pope and my family. Everyone else has no idea.

'I didn't expect Miss Caroline to have an odd eye...'

 His Majesty Raymond and others, who are close to each other, are also surprised.

'She's an odd-eye, as you can see. But she is not cursed.

What do you mean by that, Mr. Ravert?

'Yes. I've been wondering about this curse caused by Odd Eye originally. Why is it called a curse to have odd eyes? The old books didn't give any particular reason for it, it just remained as a lore.

 I nodded to see if the kings of the nations knew about this.

 After the incident that caused Merlin-san to quit, I was allowed to look at the library and the stacks of the royal palace in the king's capital and I examined them, but I could find books with the legend that Odd Eye has a curse, but I couldn't find any books that said why she was said to have a curse.

'That's when I met her. She was also suffering from Odd Eye, just like Ms. Merlin. But the only thing that made her different from Ms. Merlin was that she had the ability to see that eye.

Ability?

 Emperor Rosebell reacts to my words. The point of reacting at the ability is typical of the emperor, but I ignore it for now to continue the conversation. I look at Caro and check him with my eyes, and he nods at me. And Caro is.

"The power of these golden eyes is called 'God's Eye'. It is a blessing given to me by the goddess Aster.

 He explains it from his own mouth. And that God-eye's uncanny ability. Naturally, the kings freeze in amazement. It can't be helped. If they thought Caro was also cursed just now, if the cause was the goddess Aster.

''When I heard about her abilities, I had one theory. At the time I thought it might be possible, but before this I was almost certain.

 So I point to my right eye and let the magic flow through it. The kings are naturally concentrating on my fingertips, and they look more and more surprised. Caro and Merlin-san were also surprised by this.

 Didn't I talk to Caro about it, aside from Merlin-san? ...hmmm, I don't think it was there. Well, I'll tell you later.

"Maybe your right eye has turned purple. It's called the precognitive eye. It can predict the future a few seconds ahead. It was also given to me by the goddess Aster.

"Ray. When did you get that thing....

 Zeke looks into my eyes and exclaims. Oh, I didn't think I'd be that surprised. But would I be surprised if my own son had odd eyes? Well, mine doesn't change color all the time, so it's still better than the other two.

'Me and Caro...in light of the situation between the two of us, I spoke with Merlin yesterday and he had Merlin do something to channel magic into my eye. As a result, we found out that the red one in the left eye has the ability to do so.

 Mr. Merlin mopes shyly at my comment. He must be remembering what happened yesterday. That was a rush for me too. I didn't think it was an ability like that, you know.

''That ability is........''
