The magic cards I made are absolutely flawless!

Dekan smiled calmly, as if he already held the reins of power.

For Dekan, this new test question felt like a professional athlete participating in an amateur competition.

No one understands the Resurrection Church better than him!

"...Mr. Dekan, I know you're trying to comfort us, but please also take care of your own safety. After all, it's not your obligation."

Gavin stared blankly at Dekan's confident demeanor, then shook his head and smiled.

He was actually very touched.

Of the four teams, one team seemed reluctant, which basically confirmed they would be slacking off.

There was also a group from the Northern Kingdom, and it was obvious to anyone with eyes that they were up to no good.

Only one force from Dekan and the Southern Kingdom demonstrated their determination to protect the capital.

Gavin knew that Dekan was arrogant, and he also knew that Dekan had indeed participated in the defeat of Archbishop Evans of Ruin.

But this time there are four bishops.

Even Dekan is probably in dire straits, barely able to save himself.

……

After exchanging a few words with Knight Commander Gavin, he led his troops away.

Meanwhile, Dekan's carriage continued towards the manor.

Before long, they arrived at the accommodations arranged for them by the king.

It looked like a detached old house, and the lights inside indicated that Cornelia and the others had returned.

"Ha, the king is quite magnanimous."

Dekan led a surprised Tata back to the mansion.

Led by a servant, Dekan entered the lobby on the first floor and immediately spotted Cornelia and Mia.

They seemed to have finished dinner and were now comfortably lounging on the sofa, applying Mier's newly developed plant-based face masks.

Upon noticing someone returning, Cornelia and Mia lazily turned to look at the newcomer.

They were tired after playing all afternoon and now just wanted to leisurely enjoy their evening.

however.

Their attention was quickly drawn to the small figure beside Dekan!

The two of them stood up from the sofa at the same time, removed their face masks, and stared intently at Tata.

Cornelia seemed to crash instantly.

The cat teacher I was holding accidentally fell onto the sofa.

200 Cornelia's Shock

Cornelia rubbed her eyes in a daze.

She suspected she was hallucinating.

She quickly glanced at Mir beside her.

However, Cornelia noticed that even the usually calm Mir was frowning, seemingly unable to understand how there could be a child so similar to Dekan.

"Meow! What's wrong?! What's all the fuss about, meow?!"

Cornelia placed the cat teacher on the sofa. Seeing her and Mia's state, the cat teacher angrily jumped onto the back of the sofa and glared at Dekan.

"She's just a little girl, meow!"

"Meow? Dekan, I didn't keep an eye on you all afternoon, and you kidnapped me..."

"Eek, meow meow meow!!!"

Teacher Cat's reaction time took three steps to complete.

When it finally realized the problem with Tata's appearance, it shrieked:

"Dekan, when did you get a daughter, meow?!"

Upon hearing Cat Teacher's words, Cornelia seemed to feel a sense of faith crumbling, and her body swayed slightly.

It was Mier who nimbly grabbed Cornelia's arm to steady her.

"You silly cat! I'm only sixteen!! She must be at least six or seven years old!!!"

Dekan was quite angry at Teacher Cat's words and shouted angrily.

Teacher Cat thought about it and realized that it did seem a bit off.

"Then, are you long-lost siblings? If you're not twins, you look so alike, meow!"

The cat teacher quickly waved its front paws and issued a disclaimer.

"I don't know! Anyway, I just tested her blood, and we're not related by blood! We just look alike!!"

Earlier on the way back, Dekan stopped the carriage to buy some props at a shop before returning to the carriage.

He took a small amount of blood from Tata's finger and then tested it using his master's blood identification ritual.

The results showed that he and Tata were not related by blood.

Hearing Dekan's words, Cornelia seemed a little better, but she still looked at Dekan and Tata nervously.

Her heart couldn't take it.

"You're not kidding me, are you, meow!"

Teacher Cat looked at Tata's little face, then at Dekan's expression, and still found it hard to believe.

"If I lied just now! I'll never be able to create a legendary red card in my entire life!"

Dekan raised his hand and shouted.

"Meow..."

Hearing Dekan's solemn oath, Teacher Cat began to believe him.

After all, one of Dekan's biggest dreams is to be able to create cards of the [Red Legendary] quality.

If he dares to say something like that, he's definitely not lying.

“There is definitely some connection between us, but it’s not a blood relationship. There’s something inexplicable called past lives and present lives.”

Dekan explained helplessly.

Some people believe in reincarnation, while others do not.

Dekan is a believer.

After all, he himself was a reincarnated being.

"Uh......"

Although Cornelia and the others still couldn't understand why Tata and Dekan looked so alike.

However, we can at least rule out the possibility that she is Dekan's daughter.

Cornelia placed her hand on her chest, seemingly having finally caught her breath.

But they still couldn't help but observe Tata's appearance.

Tata seemed a little timid as the two strangers and the cat stared at her, and she instinctively hid behind Dekan.

"Dekan, could she be her?"

Mir seemed to have figured something out and asked.

"That's right, she's the little genius who made the crooked-mouthed [Captain Derkan], I've got her!"

Dekan glanced at Tata behind him and said.

"Captured?"

Mir thought it sounded a bit like torture.

"Of course, this little one is no ordinary person. Most people wouldn't be able to catch her so quickly. But now she's my student, and I'll teach her well to become an outstanding card maker."

"Dekan said smugly."

"..."

Mir could already foresee the future of this lovely little girl, who would become a ghost.

Soon, they gathered around Tata.

Although the two people and the cat were all very kind and enthusiastic towards Tata.

However, Tata seems to be somewhat bad at dealing with Cornelia and Mia.

Tata could instinctively sense that Mier was in some danger.

He refused to let her get close, avoiding Dekan no matter what.

For Cornelia, Tata felt a different kind of fear.

Cornelia had just wanted to hug Tata.

This terrified Tata.

She felt like she had almost been shattered to pieces.

Dekan's reaction was the same as when Cornelia frightened him.

Tata isn't too afraid of Cat Teacher.

But Teacher Cat is a little afraid of Tata.

Because it recalled the time when it was defeated by Dekan, this little underworld being is probably in great danger.

What's rather surprising is Tata's attitude towards Chloeux.

Even though it was Chloex who used magic to capture Tata in the shop earlier.

But Tata never seemed to be afraid of Chloeux.
