Chapter 33. Let’s go, towards the abolition! 2020.05.26.
I don’t know what spirit brought me back to my bedroom. Esteban staggered and sat back on the sofa.
“Mabel is Mabel…”
The small and precious Mabel plunged Esteban into the pit of shock.
“…under.”
Esteban clutched his head and groaned in pain. So many thoughts flooded in at once that it felt like my overburdened head was about to explode.
‘I thought she was an angel, but I thought my daughter was a little devil.’
I was amazed at how I could lift and drop people with just a single word. Even if he tried to clear it out of his mind, Mabel’s voice remained like an afterimage, tormenting Esteban.
“Eidang is my sommim.”
“Because it’s Goon, I’m going to twist the shredded seaweed!”
sticky-. Esteban frowned at the headache that struck him again.
“Damn it….”
Why is my heart throbbing, depressed, and angry? I felt like I was about to burst into tears. Esteban pondered the reason. Mabel was basically a nonchalant person in everything. Even if Esteban brought him all the precious things of the world, he was squeamish, and he would turn his head away as if he was annoyed even if his aides and servants treated him with all sorts of treats. She was such a shy Mabel that it was rare to see her smile. Diagnose responsibility. Mabel’s best must be herself as her father.
‘What the hell happened to Devlin’s devil?’
He immediately called Lisandro, who was there with him.
“Do not miss any conversations between Devlin’s demon and Mabel.”
“When do I have to report? From how cute His Majesty was before we left?”
“If you talk nonsense, you are on probation.”
The smile disappeared from Lisandro’s mischievous expression at the word ‘repentance’.
“I will report from the moment I entered the prison, Your Majesty.”
“okay.”
In a rather desolate atmosphere, Lisandro’s report began. As he listened to the conversation between Mabel and Aidan, Esteban’s expression became more and more miserable.
“-That is all.”
“Did Mabel talk that much?”
“yes. You were very fluent. After all, Your Majesty must be a genius.”
“That is not natural. Because she is my daughter.”
But that wasn’t the problem. Because everyone already knows that Mabel is a genius. Rather, the problem was that Mabel was interested in a boy named Aidan. That fact made Esteban extremely uncomfortable.
“It’s all about answering my questions.”
“So do I.”
“You are natural.”
“…”
Passing by Lisandro, who was staring at him as if he was dumbfounded, Esteban left the bedroom. Lisandro, with a bewildered face, followed.
“Where are you going?”
“To meet ‘Eidang’.”
“Ah…”
With a small sigh, Lisandro hid a sudden laugh.
‘Behind the scenes, I never showed it in front of His Majesty.’
It was very funny and pitiful to see Esteban pretending to be okay in front of him and behaving in such a small way behind him.
***
Aidan sat leaning against the corner of the prison, where fragments of magic stone shackles were scattered. Unlike usual, when I was just blurry, my mind was so clear that I couldn’t get used to it.
‘Even though he’s far away from the baby emperor, Veron’s influence doesn’t seem to affect him at all.’
Even though he was imprisoned, he had never felt so comfortable. I thought it would be better if I could not approach it from Devlin. Aidan let out a light sigh when a basket came into view. It was the basket that Mabel had left behind. At that time, Mabel, who was about to leave quietly in the arms of an attendant, looked back at Aidan as if she had suddenly remembered.
“Ah Mata!”
“…?”
“Do you want to mogul?” (Do you want to eat this?)
Aidan did not answer. Instead, he just stared at the basket, which looked big compared to Mabel’s tiny hands.
“Cheer up and drink. I said mogul, but you’re a juggler.” (It’s a chocolate cake, but it’s delicious. I tried to eat it, but I’ll give it to you.)
Hehe. The smiling cheeks puffed out. Mabel, who put the basket down in front of the grate, was hugged by the attendant again.
“Wait for a while. I’ll take it out and give it a go. Arachi?” (Wait a little. I will definitely take it out. Okay?)
Mabel left the prison with a promise to take it out. Even after that, Aidan did not touch the basket. He didn’t like sweet food very much. However, thinking that he would have struggled to carry it with his bracken-like little hands, it bothered me to leave it as it is. Concerned, Aidan called the jailer.
“hey. I want you to bring that basket inside.”
“Hee!”
The jailer was frightened and trembled. The guard’s gaze scanned the traces of restraints scattered miserably on the floor.
‘There are bars like this anyway, but I guess…?’
It would probably be considerate to ask to break the bars without breaking them yourself. Trembling, the guard opened the door and let the basket in. Aidan returned with the basket after the trembling guard gave him time to close the bars again and distance himself. The basket was light. as if nothing had been lifted. Aidan, who thoughtlessly opened the basket, was a bit perplexed.
‘…what?’
There was a chocolate cake there. Or can I call this chocolate cake? it was very small To the point where I wondered if it would be barely a bite away. I even brought a fork with me on such a topic. Aidan couldn’t deny that this piece of cake was originally a snack for the baby emperor.
“How the hell am I supposed to eat this…”
I felt like I was doing something I couldn’t do, like taking money from a child with a nose buried in it. Aidan couldn’t bear to eat the cake. Anyone will. A baby at the age when he wants to eat snacks leaves snacks for himself and hands them over to eat, but how can he eat them? It was then. A familiarity with Aidan’s senses was captured.
‘one. No, two.’
It was a clandestine movement that could not be felt unless the vigilance was set.
“You really broke the restraints.”
The one who appeared from the darkness was Ermano’s Sangje Esteban. Without hesitation, he opened the bars and stepped inside.
“but. I heard that when he was caught the other day, he released the restraints himself and escaped. I used a binding tool made of magic crystals that have much more latent magic than before, but it seems to have been of no use at all.”
Esteban smiled and picked up the piece of restraint that fell on the floor. He clenched his fist lightly, and in an instant, the fragments were scattered into powder.
“My soldiers seem to have underestimated you. I have no face.”
“…”
“I heard that you had a good conversation with my daughter, but why are you keeping your mouth shut now?”
“Because you have no business.”
Esteban’s lips hardened at Aidan’s answer.
“It must mean there are business elsewhere.”
“…”
“Is it Mabel?”
Again, Aidan remained silent. That reaction rather convinced Esteban.
“I even heard that you came to Ermano to take revenge on Veron Arthur Devlica. Mabel seems to believe that, but I don’t.”
Esteban lightly wiped his hands and continued.
“Even though you have the ability to escape, there must be a reason why you are here. What is it?”
“…”
“Remember. The reason you are here is because of my acquiescence.”
The eyes of the two collided in the air. Aidan realized that he had lost in a short fight. As he said, in order to stay here, he inevitably needed the permission of the emperor. No matter how hard the baby emperor tries, in the end, if the situation system does not allow it, he will be expelled. Aidan finally decided to tell the truth.
“…I am under mental control by Veron. My actions were restricted and my rationality was bound. I’ve killed people on the battlefield since I can’t remember.”
“Right.”
“The other day, when I was brought to Ermano, I ran into a baby emperor. And then… I felt Veron’s hold loose.”
Esteban, as well as Lisandro, listened to the story he had heard for the first time.
“It was the first time. The feeling that the clouded mind became clear. From then on, I followed Veron’s orders like a dog and looked forward to coming to Ermano. That’s how I was able to come here.”
“You mean Mabel is weakening Veron’s hold?”
“huh.”
I didn’t fully believe it, but it wasn’t a compelling story either. It was because I knew from a report that Devlin’s demon had suddenly lost consciousness when Mabel, who was taking her first walk, ran into Devlin’s demon, who was being taken away.
‘It doesn’t sound like you’re telling lies.’
Esteban looked over at Aidan again. A boy about the same age as Oscar. It was terrifying to know that I had blood on my hands at that age. I heard hostility toward Veron again.
“As expected, one arm wasn’t enough.”
In the first place, since he touched Mabel, he had no intention of showing mercy to Veron.
“It looks like Mabel is fine even though he must be quite far away.”
“This is fine. The closer the better.”
“It can’t come close.”
Esteban didn’t even give her leeks and cut them off resolutely. Whether or not to trust the boy’s words, keeping Mabel close to him was the opposite.
“I will make a decision on your treatment soon and let you know.”
“huh.”
Aidan nodded obediently, and Esteban turned around without regret. no i was going to If it hadn’t been for an unfamiliar basket that caught his eye.
“…What is this?”
It was Lisandro who answered Esteban’s question.
“His Majesty left the chocolate cake behind.”
“Mabel…?”
“yes. It came out as a snack, but he left it and gave it to me.”
Mabel’s love of snacks was so famous that everyone in Hwangseong knew about it. Snack time waiting for Mabel, who is not picky and eats well, with her eyes shining brightly. Have you given up on snacks you can only eat once a day? Sparks flew in Esteban’s eyes.
“…death penalty…”
“Your Majesty! delayed for a long time. Let’s go! Your little majesty will be waiting for you!”
The answer to the wounds received from Mabel is to treat them with Mabel. If there was even a collision, the Hwangseong might become a mess. Lisandro calmed and calmed Esteban, who was burning with hatred, and prevented an unfortunate accident.
‘I kept the peace of the imperial castle.’
Even today, Lisandro’s sigh was deep.
***
It’s time to go out with animal friends today. I lay down on my chest and looked up at the sky. And I organized in my head what I had to do right away. first. Get Aidan out of jail. second. Get into an accident and be dethroned. Even if you manage to do the first one, the second one is really helpless. In the first place, even if there was an accident to be dethroned, everyone laughed and went over, so I couldn’t come up with a good way.
“Ojjondam.” (Somehow.) They say that
if you stay still, you will go somewhere in the middle, but the part-time job experience that has become part of your body did not leave me alone. When I saw the frustrating work, my stomach was boiling, and when I saw the unfair treatment, I wanted to turn everything upside down.
‘Ugh. Now I really have to put up with it.’
However, it was unbearable for Duke Javier to install it. okay. The only exception is Duke Javier, and let’s just put up with the rest.
[What are you so worried about?]
She growled and put her chin on my leg. I stroked the guy’s back.
‘I don’t want to be emperor.’
[It’s just an emperor statue?]
‘…Do you want to die?’
[Or not.]
The sheep patted its tail, turned its head, and lay down. It’s like a divine beast that doesn’t help the world. I fell into trouble again.
“Pay, pay….” (Dethroning, dethroning…)
What method should I use so that everyone doesn’t want to lose sight of me? Complaining about side dishes?
‘But the rice is delicious. And again, what’s the chef’s crime?’
Crying at regular meetings?
‘Your Majesty says she’s so cute and she’ll make my clothes burst again.’
Fighting Oscar?
‘I think he’ll say that he was wrong. That guy.’
Should I hit the situation system?
‘This is a good method. Keep.’
A lot of ideas came to my mind, but nothing really worked. It was then.
“Wait.” (Wait.)
Come to think of it, it was my second birthday in about two months. From what I’ve heard in passing, it seems that this birthday party will be held with great grandeur.
“Hoo.”
Suddenly, a good idea came to my mind. If that was the case, it was clear that everyone would shout in unison that the emperor who behaved in such a corrupt way should be brought down immediately.
‘It works this time!’
Let’s go to the dethronement!
