The Baby Isn’t Yours

Chapter 96:



Chapter 96:

Yes, that.

Seeing Kalia nodding in response, Nua scratched her cheek as if embarrassed and smiled.

Well, nothing like that. Hoa mentioned that my father said that youre quite strong Thats why I came up with some tests. I didnt want to get attached to a weak child. What if I love you and you suddenly die?

-What? Just for this? Is that why you attacked Kalia? What kind of fairy are you? So Im not your family? Im weak.-

Gaia listened to her sister with an unkind look.

What are you talking about? Where are you weak? Well, of course it could be physical, but Ive never seen a braver fairy than you, Gaia. How brave are you to love people?

-I cant say anything because I dont remember.-

I was just trying to scare her. Thats why I put so much effort into this from the very beginning God, she didnt blink an eye. Thats why I went a little further.

There was no expression on Nuas face as she spoke with a shrug.

She laughed out loud as if she really couldnt help it.

Hoa and Nua seemed to be the most belligerent women of their family.

Perhaps if Gaia had been born strong, wouldnt she have become the same?

Kalia, who had only part of her blood flowing through her, was quite belligerent and perhaps didnt even know that this temperament was in her blood.

If that were the case, Gaia would not have died quietly in a place no one knew about.

Kalias face suddenly darkened as she came to that thought.

Gaia, how did her mother die?

Where and how did she give birth to her and what did she die of? And what happened to her father?

And until then, vague doubts and curiosity grew uncontrollably in her.

-Kalia?-

Gaia brought her face closer to Kalias worried face.

Seeing her reflection in her eyes, Kalia smiled as if she was fine.

Im okay.

-Tell me if something hurts you. Oh! Or tell me if someone is bothering you. Now Ive become stronger.-

Have you become stronger?

Gaia smiled brightly and whispered secretly into Kalias ear.

But no one in the room heard her.

-Its a secret, but by becoming the spirit of this bracelet, I can do something. I can even change shape?-

Change shape?

What do you mean?

-Yeah. For example, I can turn into something like a sword or an arrow. Oh, of course, Im not changing on my own, but the shape of the bracelet is changing, and at the same time Im in it to control the power Anyway, its possible.-

Ah, if thats so, Ill tell you when you need it.

Nua, who was listening to them, intervened. Her hand pointed to the bracelet on Kalias hand.

Amuntia. This is the name of an ancient spirit who helped the god of the sun, who destroyed evil in the sacred temple, the first and last place on earth. Its funny because its the most evolved form of spirit.

The spirit of the sun god who destroyed evil?

Yes. So Amuntias bracelet can use both divine and natural powers. Its very valuable.

Oh.

Kalia stroked the simple bracelet that fluttered around her wrist.

Kalexia said he would lend it to Kalia, but she didnt seem to want to take it.

And Gaia, who was sleeping inside, didnt seem to leave either.

But this is too valuable a thing for me to own. What should I do?

Had Gaia read Kalias mind?

-Just take it.- Gaia, who was studying her face, whispered into Kalias ear.

Yes?

-Take it for yourself. They should have given it to me anyway. It would be nice to give you something like that, Kalia. So keep it to yourself, okay?-

As if in reassurance, Gaia winked one eye.

What is this boldness

Apparently, her mother was much bolder and more reckless than she seemed.

In the end, Nua also told Gaia that she was the bravest fairy in the world.

Kalia looked at Gaia, who was smaller than her; she looked at Kalia and suddenly stepped closer.

-You got hurt.-

A small hand traced the scar on Kalias earlobe.

Hurt?

-Yes, you have a scratch here.-

Kalia, who felt no pain at the touch, touched her earlobe.

The piece of ice that broke off during the fight with Nua seemed to have hit her.

It wasnt a wound for Kalia, but not for Gaia. She puffed out her round cheeks and rushed towards Nua with a frightened face.

-Nua! Kalia was hurt because of Nua! Youre stupid! What if I hurt you!

What, what? Are you hurt? Where?

Gaia hit Nua on the back with a clenched fist and scolded her.

But Gaias fist against Nuas hard body was hardly a light pat to her sister. It was just a nice sound.

Nua approached Kalia with wide eyes.

Its okay. I dont even feel it.

It was only a superficial wound, barely touching the earlobe.

Kalia waved her hand like it didnt matter much, but Nua stared at the scar on her earlobe.

Right. Oh, is it still bleeding?

It was non-lethal, but a reddish color appeared over the wound.

However, Gaia looked at Nua with a distressed face. As if to indicate that she was angry, yellow flames flared up around her.

What, Gaia? Now can you use this?

-Yes I can. So dont treat Kalia so bad in the future.-

Oh, thats amazing. You used to be afraid of fire. On the day when you saw the burned forest, you were so afraid of it that you didnt even want to leave me even in a dream.

-I dont know what you mean. I dont remember that. Hmph!-

At Nua Gaias words, she quickly turned away, as if she didnt remember at all.

A sense of shame showed through pouted lips.

Because she was only a fragment, it seemed like she didnt have all of her memories.

Nua, who was looking at Gaia with a sad expression, stroked her little sisters hair as if she wanted to mess it up.

Then she smiled and turned to Kalia.

However, Im sorry I hurt you, so Ill give you a gift.

Another gift?

Kalia shook her head as she remembered the countless gifts she had received from her family.

Its okay. Its not a big wound. What I have received so far is too much

I would like you to accept it. Or Gaia will burn me to death.

-Yeah! Take what she gives you, Kalia. No matter what, Nua is generous.-

While Kalia hesitated, Nua bit her fingertip until it bled. Then she reached out and pressed the tip of her index finger against Kalias forehead.

[Nua Fonterno Cassias.]

As she whispered in the ancient fairy language, a kind of power passed from her fingertips to Kalias forehead. At the touch, her forehead became hot, as if she had been burned.

When Nua removed her hand, a snowflake-shaped mark flickered dimly on Kalias forehead.

Here, I leave my power, and if you call Nua, an ice sword will appear. You already know what it is when you saw it before. It can be used at any time.

Nuas cool fingertips ran through Kalias lemony hair like Gaias.

Kalia felt cold, but the tenderness of her aunts hands was warm.

This is a present from your aunt.

I think I got rich these days. I have too many gifts

My siblings gave you a lot of things, didnt they? I feel the strength of my family everywhere here.

Haha, Nua laughed and smoothed her short hair, looked around and sighed.

They brought you a lot of good things. Wow! They didnt give me anything, although I asked a lot!

Nuas gaze found the small vial on the nightstand.

It was icy tears that, just by drinking them, made you immune to the cold for years to come. How she longed for it. Shed never had the strength to tame the northern cold She couldnt believe she was seeing it here.

Nua felt ridiculous.

By the way, where did my father go?

She returned from the country of the far north for the first time in a long time, but she was never able to meet her father, who called her.

According to her siblings, he seemed to be long gone.

Since hes the head, Im sure he went to the dimensional rift But it wont take long if I go there, right? Is there something wrong? And the strange Ganinis attitude

The first older brother who was kind of tough. He said that he could not leave the Forest of Sources until his father arrived.

Moreover, there is something to pay attention to.

Nua, who was silently thinking about her thoughts, suddenly looked out the window.

Father, what happened all of a sudden? Where have you gone?

The red sun was setting.

* * *

Crack.

There was a rustle of leaves under the feet of a huge man.

It was too close to the city to call it a forest, but too deserted to be a private home.

The small building, which might have been a beautiful home in the distant past, was surrounded by strong vines, making it difficult to recognize its shape.

Its been 26 years.

Kalexia stood before it.

The old abandoned house didnt suit him at all, as if it was about to fall apart along with him, who had grown up due to travel through dimensional rifts.

Kalexia silently looked at the disgusting house, then waved her hand and cleaned the vines. At his gesture, the moss disappeared, the vines receded, and a house appeared in front of his eyes, a little old, but still intact enough to think that this house was abandoned only recently.

Kalexia slowly entered the house.

This house was very small and old, but to him it was clean and beautiful.

The ceiling barely touched his head, damp furniture rotted here and there.

However, the reason why Kalexia returned to this place, no, the reason why he couldnt get rid of it.

Because Gaia lived here, and Gaia died here.
