Chapter 242. mom?
2022.05.28.
Mabel looked at her curiously, but Ades didn’t care.
This young human was not meant to meet an empty end here.
“…Go back to where you belong.”
Light began to emanate from his outstretched hand toward Mabel. That divine light permeated Mabel without hesitation.
‘This power…’
she knew instinctively. This power was the same as the one he possessed.
“Ades!”
Ades was trying to return her to reality by filling up the lost divine power.
Mabel felt her body gradually fade. His presence in this world was disappearing.
I hurriedly grabbed Ades’ arm, but couldn’t reach it and passed through it.
‘Wait like this?’
So suddenly without saying goodbye?
Feeling impatient, Mabel clenched her fists and shouted while staring at Ades.
“I’ll make sure you won’t be lonely!”
To never feel that terrible loneliness again.
“I will never leave you alone…”
I will always be by your side.
“So wait a little longer, Ades.”
At that moment, Mabel’s existence was completely erased from the world.
The bound god ran out of control.
It was the first repulsion to be made after being forcibly dragged down to the ground.
The wave of power was enough to cover all of Devlin.
Minerals and plants with magical powers began to grow in the soil where the power of the gods dwelled. Things that will be called magic materials in the future.
Ades sprinted faster than light and swung the sword in the blink of an eye.
“…!”
desperate. Julius III died with both eyes open.
At that moment, Ades felt that his ownership passed to the emperor’s successor.
Fall of God. downgrade.
Also, the beginning of an endless cycle of reincarnation.
[okay. don’t wait Little human.]
The moment Mabel was banished from this world’s timeline, Ades arranged the future.
A divine beast to serve as a guide.
A family that will truly love her.
A divine name containing her previous life and an oracle that would give her words any power.
Finally, by rewinding his own time, he sealed all of God’s memories.
Slow down Devlica’s offspring from absorbing her powers.
Waiting for his seed to find himself someday.
***
Back to reality.
While Mabel was away, preparations to hit Devlin were progressing step by step.
The atmosphere of the informal meeting was more subdued than usual.
“Countries other than Heylin Kingdom have promised military aid.”
Esteban quietly nodded at Oscar’s report.
The reason things went smoothly was entirely because of the foundation Mabel had laid.
“The Ermano Merchants Union has promised to support the imperial army with magic tools.”
Casey reported with a grin. To deal with Devlin, a powerful country in magic, magical power was needed, so the magical tools and materials were invaluable support.
Esteban congratulated Casey for his work.
“The credit for Casey’s upper house is big.”
“Haha, my ball. It must all be the work of the lady.”
The tone was light, as if joking, but no one in the room took it as a joke.
Because it was true.
Mabel was born in this world, rebelled against or obeyed the oracle given by God, and everything she did became a weapon against Devlin.
Its achievement was so great that it sometimes made me wonder.
It was thanks to Mabel’s constant interference that Veron Arthur Devlica couldn’t fulfill his will yet.
In turn, Enrique and Oscar mounted their horses.
“Devlin’s behavior is also unusual.”
“It seems that the people’s uprising has finally been decided by a reign of terror.”
“I guess it doesn’t matter since it’s a card that will be discarded anyway.”
Esteban let out a sneer as he pondered Devlica’s ambition.
Wouldn’t it be an idiot to think of becoming a god?
But I couldn’t just ignore it.
‘Because a madman with an idea is the most dangerous.’
So no matter what happened, Veron’s ambition had to be stopped.
It was a time when the meeting was going on for a long time.
“Ugh…”
Suddenly, Aidan began to groan as he placed his forehead on his forehead with one hand.
“Aidan? what’s the matter?”
“Are you okay?”
Oscar and Enrique examined Aidan’s complexion.
Aidan frowned.
Along with the shattering pain in my head, an unknown memory suddenly came to my mind.
In a devastated place, Mabel was shouting something at herself.
“So wait a little longer, Ades.”
After that, Mabel’s appearance and voice disappear.
“…Mabel.”
In the fragments of his resurrected memories, Aidan sensed Mabel’s presence.
There is Mabel in the past.
Mabel is struggling to save the world.
He immediately jumped out of his seat and started wandering around the imperial castle in search of Mabel.
“Aidan Asherad. What’s going on?”
Esteban, who had been chasing after him, asked with a serious face. Aidan let out a light sigh.
“I thought you came back.”
His breath was white.
‘…why?’
Mabel was nowhere to be seen. Even though I saw memories disappearing from the past.
‘Where did Mabel go?’
***
The area around the neck was burning hot.
While struggling with unbearable pain, I suddenly realized that the scenery around me had changed.
It was a familiar place. Because it was none other than the Hwangseong where I live. I was standing in the garden near the main castle where I often went for a walk.
However, with a strange sense of incongruity flashing through my head, I raised my head and stopped even breathing for a moment.
rustle.
“…!”
ran into someone
At that moment, the necklace that caused the burning fever broke.
Crisp.
“Uh…”
I covered my mouth with both hands. To prevent any leaks from leaking out.
‘…mom?’
Mom was in front of me.
The mother who was smiling in the pendant that her grandfather had given her as a gift.
***
The wind blew and the petals fell.
Will I look like that when I grow up?
In the garden where the evening sun had fallen, my mother looked at me in surprise.
My head froze for a moment, but I quickly grasped the situation.
Through the medium of the necklace, it seemed as if she had fallen into the past when her mother was alive.
Because it was a relatively not-so-distant past and God’s vast divine power intervened, he was able to fall at this time by responding to only one necklace.
Or that the memories and memories of the mother contained in the necklace were strong.
‘What should I do?’
I looked at my whereabouts.
500 years ago, he fought against Devlin’s army, so he didn’t look like a horse.
His clothes were torn here and there, and his face and arms were full of scratches.
‘Looks like a beggar…’
It was a suspicious look to anyone.
The moment I took a step back without realizing it, my mother came closer. The distance I retreated from became colorless and quickly narrowed.
“A wound on the cheek…”
“Ah.”
“I need to get treatment soon.”
“It’s okay…”
It was the first time I met my mother. I stuttered like an idiot and couldn’t even make eye contact.
‘I really wanted to meet you, but I don’t know what to do.’
Ever since I was a baby, I grew up hearing countless stories about my mother.
Even in that short story, I could feel my mother’s love.
The daughter of a marquis who was a tomboy when she was a girl. And my mother, Ciana Gardenia Ermano, who grew up kind and affectionate and became the Empress of the Empire.
The mother in the story existed in front of my eyes.
‘mom. I’m a real mother…’
It started to feel more and more realistic.
This beautiful woman in front of me is my mother.
The same light pink hair like cherry blossom petals. Amber-colored eyes filled with warmth were beautifully curved.
It was more affectionate and warm than I saw in the portrait.
“Would you like to come in for a second?”
It was a kind invitation, but I couldn’t resist it.
Without hesitation, my mother approached me without hesitation and grabbed my hand.
His hands were also covered with scars from fighting the army of Julius III.
“Somehow… it won’t take long. huh? I’m just going to treatment. I just feel uncomfortable sending it.”
Nod. I nodded my head without enthusiasm, and my mother smiled kindly.
“It’s nice.”
It was a soft language like a child.
Mom carefully held my scarred hand and started to walk ahead.
Looking around, I could understand why I felt strange in this familiar place. Since it was the imperial castle of the past before I was born, it was natural that it was different from the real space.
Besides, in reality it was winter with snow flurries, but here it was a warm spring day with a warm breeze blowing.
Cherry blossoms, which Dad must have planted, rained down flowers at every corner of the street. It seems that the blooming period has passed and the falling period has entered.
The figure of the mother walking in the lead beneath it was like a landscape in a painting. The petals that landed lightly on her head were the same color as her hair, so she couldn’t tell them apart.
I was led by my mother’s hand, and I suddenly realized something.
‘I’m deliberately going around to a place where there are no people.’
Since I live in Hwangseong, I couldn’t know.
But why was Mom walking around the garden without an escort? dangerously.
‘She said she enjoyed escaping secretly even when she was a lady of the marquis family, so maybe she bit people on purpose even now.’
While I was lost in thought, I arrived at the empress’s bedroom.
After locking the door, my mother sat me down on the sofa and brought me a box of healing tools.
“I have a cute son, but he gets hurt often. He treats me every time.”
“Is that so?”
It’s an Oscar story! When the name I knew came up, I was extremely nervous.
Mom began meticulously treating the scars on my face with her familiar hands.
Amidst the awkward silence, my mother asked me.
“What is your name?”
“Uh…”
“Is it difficult to tell you?”
“It’s Wee Winter.”
For some reason I couldn’t just spit out my name. When I replied hesitantly, my mother met my eyes and smiled brightly.
“That’s a pretty name.”
He’s also one of my names, Shinmyeong, so it’s not a lie, but I still feel guilty that I lied.
“Um, no… please be comfortable with that…”
I couldn’t call her mother, and I couldn’t just call her majesty, so I couldn’t say the title, so I begged her to stop talking.
“may I? I really like it because it seems like we’ve become friends.”
“yes…!”
“Then I will, Miss Winter.”
As I thought, my mother was a very friendly person.
It hadn’t been long since we met, but my tension was soon relieved and I was listening to my mother as if possessed.
“Try this too. My father gave it to me, and it smells very good.”
“thank you.”
“Eat cookies here too.”
“Nong.”
wow wow.
I couldn’t come to my senses from the warm and fragrant tea and the bombardment of sweet cookies.
The atmosphere was so peaceful that it made me faintly aware of the fact that I had been fighting Julius III just a few tens of minutes ago.
My mother, who had been watching me happily eating snacks with her chin on her chin, suddenly brought up a new topic.
“I have a problem.”
“What is it?”
“Actually, I haven’t told my husband yet, but there’s a cute baby growing inside of me.”
“…!”
I stopped chewing the cookies and stared at my mom’s stomach with my eyes wide open.
‘I’m inside my mother’s belly…!’
Maybe it was in the early stages of pregnancy, but her stomach was still flat. The mother, who stroked the baby’s stomach with her warm hand, looked at me quietly.
“What should I name you?”
You asked me what to name my name. When I opened my mouth, my mother smiled meaningfully for some reason.
“Oh, it was a girl. I have two candidates in mind.”
“What is it…?”
“Mabel and Pacifica.”
“…?!”
I beg your pardon?
“There is a man called Pacifica, and I respect him very much. What a wonderful person. What do you think?”
Leaving me in front of me in shock, my mother smiled shyly.
“Pa-pa-pa-si…?”
“As expected, Pacifica would be nice-.”
Aww!
Before I could finish my words, I grabbed my mother’s hands tightly.
“Mabel! I like Mabel!!”
I have to defend my name somehow!
‘I can’t be the same name as Duke Donovan!’
