Chapter 187. However, the little majesty will not know2021.11.16.
Aidan’s red eyes, which sank coolly, gazed at Michael calmly. Michael took a step towards Aidan, who seemed unwilling to respond.
“I just want to hear your opinion, the person in charge.”
“I have nothing to say to you.”
“well. Will it be so?”
“…”
Michael’s meaningful gaze stared at Aidan’s face.
“Suddenly, I want to hear the opinion of the little emperor.”
When Mabel was mentioned, Aidan was shaken for a moment.
‘Mabel.’
The only being who can shake Aidan. But on the contrary, it was also she who made him calm like a calm lake. He knew better than anyone else that he was keeping him by his side because his existence was dangerous.
“What you looking at. On the subject of the emperor’s dog.”
“Dirty killer.”
“You killed my friend!”
“monster.”
It was the first thing I learned about ‘understanding the subject’ while being a member of the Knights of the Devlin Empire. With Mabel by his side, Aidan could not be a monster. Michael was roundly intimidating Aidan. I’ll say anything to Mabel if you don’t be cooperative. Feeling Aidan’s changed atmosphere, Michael asked the question again.
“The power you have. What is the source?”
“I do not know.”
“There will be no guessing.”
“…I don’t know.”
Michael found another answer in Aidan’s determined face. However, there was no clue that could be gleaned from the hardened expression. A persistent gaze clung to Aidan’s skin.
‘There must be something he didn’t say.’
Aidan’s existence was outlined in Mabel’s periodic letters.
“Did you know that the memories of successive god kings are handed down to the God King of Abelardo?”
As Aidan nodded, Michael’s words continued.
“The memory of the God King during the reign of Julius III also exists in my head.”
As it is not his own memory, it must be a memory mixed with the person concerned, but it was in Michael’s head anyway. At the time, the Devlin Empire controlled a large territory, but the national power was not very strong. A swarm of pirates attacking private houses every day in barren territory and rebellions happening everywhere. It was truly an abyss. There were even people who jokingly called it the Devlin Kingdom. On the other hand, although the territory governed was not as wide as it is now, the Ermano Empire had the most powerful influence on the continent even then. It was right after the death of Julius III that the Devlin Empire began competing with the Ermano Empire for equal strength.
“At the same time as Julius III died, a magic revolution took place within the Devlin Empire. Magic materials that are rare only in the Devlin Empire have been discovered.”
“What do you mean?”
“You are more impatient than you look.”
“…”
At Michael’s point, Aidan kept his mouth shut.
“hmm. Anyway, it wasn’t just the magic revolution that the Devlin Empire gained power at that time.”
Magic materials brought enormous wealth to the Devlin Empire, but there was another factor that decisively strengthened national power. It was a one-sided force to conquer the continent.
“There was a war of conquest. At that time, numerous kingdoms around the Devlin Empire perished. At that time, there was a man who was called a war hero and a battlefield demon.”
man. Demon of the battlefield. Michael searched for memory. Memories that were not his own came to mind.
“His Holiness. Isn’t Devlin’s rudeness getting more and more over the top!”
“We have to stop it in the Abelardo dimension.”
“Refugees are coming to Abelardo!”
“This is how the border with the Devlin Empire came into contact. If he invades Abelardo… what?”
him A demon on the battlefield who is said to radiate bright red eyes… After receiving a letter from Mabel about Aidan in the past, Michael was convinced.
“okay. That would be you at the time you don’t remember.”
One of the many lives of Aidan, who died several times.
“Even after that, the Devlica family remained strong. For some reason, a war hero always appears and wipes out the battlefield no matter how many generations have passed. That must also be you.”
It was seen through the eyes of Michael, who had been blessed by God. The black energy flowing from Aidan was ferocious as if it would devour the surroundings at any moment. Michael tilted his head slightly.
“But everything always has a beginning, right? If so, the point at which you were created must also exist.”
Nothing could have appeared out of nowhere.
“Because it is causal.”
However, the person lost all memories. When Aidan first appeared in the history books, everyone died. All that remains is the subjective records of historians and the memories of successive god kings that have been passed down from generation to generation. When Michael raised his hand slightly, strong divine power slowly approached Aidan. However, as expected, as soon as they reached Mabel’s barrier, they were fused and scattered. One step, two steps, Michael, who moved closer to Aidan, grabbed his chin.
“… let go.”
“Be patient.”
When it physically touched, Michael could finally feel it. The black energy raised its edge as if it would attack Michael at any moment.
‘I’ll be really attacked like this.’
The contact was fleeting. Michael quickly separated from Aidan to preserve his life. Aidan rubbed his chin with the back of his hand as if he was displeased.
“Don’t touch me carelessly.”
“I’m not very happy, am I?”
The moment of contact was short, but it was enough to feel the energy. Michael’s eyes darkened even more than before. That eerie black power.
‘Like… like kin hatred.’
It’s obviously a different power, but that thought crossed my mind at the moment. It was power that was neither magic power nor divine power. What the hell is the source of that muddy, concentrated energy? There was a passion for learning that seldom arises. It was the first time he had been curious like this since he ascended to the throne. Michael, who gave up his thoughts, stared at Aidan, who was still in a bad mood.
“Anyway, it looks like the emperor of Devlin is plotting something using you. I mean, I can’t bear to see it with my eyes open.”
Michael, incongruously, was quite fond of this world created by God. So, I had no intention of letting anyone ruin this world. Michael crossed his arms and looked at Aidan sideways. and suggested
“Let’s make a deal.”
“….”
“However, your little majesty won’t know.”
Not knowing Mabel. Aidan frowned.
‘To make a secret for Mabel?’
It was an offer I didn’t like at all.
***
The crying continued for a long time. It was to the point where I wondered if all the water in my body would run dry, but the tears flowed incessantly. The elder Eliot was also with Renesmee, who was sinking in sorrow and unable to get out.
“majesty. Stop crying.”
“But… everything is over. Do you know how the God King looked at me? I will never become the seed of God.”
Renesmee, curled up on the bed with her face buried in her lap, didn’t know what expression Elliot was making. In contrast to the annoying look at Renesmee, his voice was the epitome of affection.
“I know that well enough. But it’s not over yet, is it?”
When Renesmee looked up, she smiled kindly, as if Elliot had drawn it.
“But the Pendraum in Abelardo has disappeared… the God King will investigate thoroughly-.”
Shh. Eliot interrupted Renesmee and shook his head firmly.
“You don’t have to worry about Pendraum. Because you handled it well.”
“…how?”
“You don’t have to know.”
Elliot smiled kindly and wiped Renesmee’s tears.
“Your Highness just needs to be healthy in preparation for the next verification ceremony.”
“really…?”
“sure.”
Clasping Elliot’s outstretched hand tightly with both hands, Renesmee calmed the raging cry.
“It will be fine.”
“yes.”
Renesmee wiped away her own tears.
‘It’ll turn out okay.’
At that moment, the face of Enrique, who had pushed him away, came to mind, but he hurriedly erased it.
***
It was three days after the verification ceremony that I met Michael. When I refused several requests for a solo date, Michael sat down under a beautiful tree in front of the main castle and waited for me to come out. It is said that the servants of the imperial castle, as well as nobles, did not blink an eye even when they passed by whispering. The Emperor of Ermano had no choice but to bring Michael into the drawing room, fearing that there would be gossip about undermining the authority of the new King Abelardo. It was a one-on-one meeting with the God King without an escort.
“Is it so hard to have a cup of tea with a friend?”
We are not friends because we broke off with Michael.
“Who is your friend?”
“Bribri.”
Michael, who pointed at me first, pointed at himself next with a grave expression.
“And Hael.”
My expression instantly rotted away.
“Who is your grandfather?”
“I’ve never had a granddaughter like you.”
“Didn’t you say he was my paternal grandfather?”
“this guy. There’s nothing I can’t say to my grandfather.”
Whew. Michael answered as if scolding seriously, but I just sighed. I didn’t want to joke with Michael.
“Drink it all and go back. I am not talking to you.”
I declared an end to the conversation. Then I looked at some of the papers I had brought with me from the office. With or without Michael in front of me, I immediately fell into work.
‘It’s like the epidemic is over now, um… what should I do now? Aren’t you spreading the disease again? I’ll have to leave it to the sheep.’
“Bribri.”
‘The national business is also going smoothly. The tourism industry is also the best. Build another landmark in the port city-.’
“Mabel.”
Michael, who used to call me, called my name, which he rarely called. When I looked up, Michael brought up a story that might interest me.
“Pendraum. As expected, someone stole it. That’s how hard it is to smoke. pissed off.”
“….”
“I haven’t found out who stole it yet. He cut off his tail thoroughly.”
I shrugged, but didn’t open my mouth. I was still pissed off at Michael.
“Aren’t you going to tell the end?”
“joy.”
The sharp difference between me and Michael didn’t know how to narrow it. I, who did not want to be the seed of God, and Michael, who was determined to make me the seed of God. Our purpose was the antipode.
“It’s fun when you’re upset, but it’s more fun when you talk nonsense.”
“Heng.”
“How are you going to relieve your anger?”
‘done!’
chin. I held out my hand as if I had been waiting.
“Give me!”
“…what?”
“Pendraum seeds.”
Michael narrowed his brows as if he was dumbfounded. But I urged Michael, smiling brightly and opening and closing my fingers.
“Bbribri, do you know how precious it is?”
“What do you know?”
“…okay. It’s not something you know.”
After rummaging around, Michael pulled out a seed from the bag. It looked like a sunflower seed, but it was a much larger seed. Michael, who was about to hold out to me, clenched his fist and hid the seed. Then he threatened.
“If you give me this, I will withdraw my pettiness.”
“I’m not petty, but I get it.”
Having received the seed from Michael, I put it in my pocket with a smile. Michael asked.
“What are you going to do?”
“We will grow them in large numbers and sell them. It’s difficult to grow, isn’t it? If it’s distributed in the market, people’s diseases are cured, isn’t it?”
“It won’t be easy.”
As Michael had affirmed, there was no giving up in my dictionary.
“It would be foolish to give up without even trying.”
“I don’t think you’re in a position to call me grandfather, do you? You heard the old man inside.”
“You say you’re grown-up? Thanks for the compliment.”
“It means old.”
To commemorate the withdrawal of the breakup, we happily criticized each other. As time passed and Michael’s teacup was empty, he stared at me with rather serious eyes.
“It’s not long before the next verification ceremony, so you must have prepared your mind?”
Unlike the heavy question, my answer was flutteringly light as if flying.
“no! Aren’t you going to prepare anything?”
No matter how manipulative Michael was, my will was stubborn.
‘Annoying honor is a no-brainer!’
I was already very busy with the title of Emperor of the Empire.
“Um…”
Michael looked at me with a meaningful look.
“okay. Bbribri, you do as you do, and I do as I do.”
I did not take seriously Michael’s words that he would still not give up. . . . And a few days later, the day of the verification ceremony. The incident happened. I didn’t see Aidan from that morning, and soon the only string connected to me disappeared.
‘The barrier I put on Aidan has been destroyed.’
