Chapter 112. The true emperor is 2021.02.27.
mate. Everyone’s eyes focused on Mabel’s applause. The first official meeting of guild officials was held under the auspices of Mabel. The place is the main parlor where Mabel takes classes. The number of participants was 4.5 and 1. Mabel Oscar Franz Aidan and Casey via communication magic tool. Finally, Yang took her seat.
‘…what the hell is this.’
Oscar was perplexed. I heard that Aidan acted as the Master instead of Mabel, but I didn’t know that the teacher, Franz, was also involved.
“Hello everyone. Let’s say I’m Oscar, who joined the guild this time.”
At Mabel’s introduction, Franz smiled and clapped his hands. Aidan, as always, had a sad face, and the sheep waggled his tail once. Mabel’s introduction continued.
“Oscar. This is Franz, officially my master and unofficially my slave.”
“I will greet you again, Your Highness. I am Her Majesty’s Slave Number 1, Franz. It’s embarrassing to say hello again when you already know each other.”
“A slave…?”
“yes. I am a happy slave. I even signed a slave contract. Heh heh heh!”
Oscar was at a loss for words. It was because the face of Franz, who introduced himself as a slave, looked so happy.
‘I heard that he was a prestigious dean of the academy…’
That was the reason he was able to become the teacher of the emperor, who was a baby at the time, through a huge competition rate. Oscar called out to Franz in a serious manner.
“Former Dean Alonika.”
“Yes, Your Highness. Please tell me.”
“Are you… not being threatened?”
I deliberately whispered in a low voice so Mabel couldn’t hear. It’s not that I doubt my brother’s personality, but I still don’t know.
“haha. You are making a funny joke, Your Highness. I am satisfied with this job.”
Franz laughed heartily and added in a small voice, ‘Of course not at first…’.
‘Is slavery a job?’
Oscar pretended not to hear, not wanting to know the truth.
“Then didn’t you have classes every class every day? What did you do?”
“Um, just this and that. I studied the languages of other countries and also saw guild work. … I even did some math classes!”
Mabel took notice and added a word belatedly. Oscar looked at his younger brother and reflected on his life.
‘Maybe I lived too lazy.’
It was then. A loud voice was heard over the communication magic tool that had been obscured whether or not it was present all along.
[Are you still leaving me alone to talk? I’m sorry, lady!]
“Ah, Casey. Were you there?”
[Wow, did you really forget? It’s too much.]
Oscar’s eyes narrowed. I must have heard this voice somewhere. It was quick to recall. It was Casey, the sub-master of the Guild Evil, called by the emperor in the past. He was also a wizard who knew how to grow Veneno. At that time, I thought it was something strange to make a fuss while watching Mabel, but I thought it was a close relationship in the first place. The more he learned about Mabel and the guild, the more he was full of energy.
[Anyway, I’m glad you’re joining the guild, Your Highness the Prince. My name is Casey, the vice-master of the guild. I handle most of the practical work, so if you need anything, please let me know without hesitation. I also occasionally craft magic items.]
“I saw it in the imperial castle during the Veneno negotiations before.”
[oh. You remembered me. I thought you didn’t know again.]
“How could I forget. It was a very impressive scene.”
Isn’t it a monumental incident in which Mabel stepped forward and negotiated the delivery of Veneno on behalf of the emperor who was trying to overthrow the Evil Guild?
‘My father used to brag about everyone he met.’
If Gustav hadn’t stopped it, it might have been an anniversary under the pretext of ‘the first day of negotiations with the wonderful emperor Mabel’. I suddenly collapsed at the thought that Mabel, who had been desperately negotiating, was actually concocting with Casey.
[Please stop by the guild headquarters later. Still, shouldn’t we see Your Highness in person? By the way, there will be a lot of trouble if I call you Your Highness in the future, so it’s better to decide on the title again. Since His Majesty is a young lady, I would like to be a young master. Is it okay?]
“Yes? yes.”
In the meantime, Casey even decided on a name on his own and was happy.
[Oh, and I’m a commoner, so there’s no need to speak up. Please feel free to say it.]
“Ah…yes.”
We exchanged only a few words, but Oscar was slightly taken aback. The last thing to introduce was the sheep. Mabel said as she stroked the head of the languidly lying sheep.
“Yangi is in charge of cuteness in the guild.”
“Yaang!”
As if he didn’t like it, Yangyang fiercely resisted. Mabel immediately apologized.
“Ah, don’t tell me you’re cute? oh i see Sorry…”
“Yaang.”
“that’s right. you are the most wonderful It’s not cute.”
Only then did Shin-soo jump up and take a seat on Mabel’s lap as if he liked it.
“As I said before, Aidan was acting as the guild master instead of me.”
With Aidan nodding his head slightly, the noisy introduction of the guild executives ended.
‘What kind of combination is this?’
Oscar slowly looked around at the executives. A slave teacher and an eccentric wizard, two boys and a girl who are still young, and a divine beast. When others saw it, it was worthy of being judged as a ragtag. Still, it was amazing to be reborn as the best guild in the empire in name and reality.
“Let’s all get along well from now on!”
As if treating children, the real master of the guild gave orders to everyone. The executives older than Mabel nodded with serious faces. I didn’t know who was a child and who was an adult.
“Now that we have gathered, let’s discuss the guild’s immediate challenges.”
There was a case to be resolved right now, and an ultimate enemy to be destroyed in the future.
“First of all, I want to hear your opinion on what to do with the red prober you rescued from the auction house.”
At that, Oscar was taken aback.
“Red prober? Did you take Mabel with you?”
“Yes.”
Apparently, the red prober mother and calf were listed on the auction list, but no one won the bid. We even disappeared there. Esteban was robbing the auction organizers, thinking they had been siphoned off. Oscar, who watched the whole process, was bewildered. Did Mabel take you?
“They talk nonsense about how they can easily tame their mother using the offspring, then start the auction. How can you stay still after seeing that?”
“You’re right, Mabel. good job.”
Oscar silently agreed. He seems ruthless, but in fact, he is a kind and warm child who has a weak heart and can’t just go over unfair things. Casey, who looked into the red prober most often, reported the situation.
[Both the calf and mother received treatment for their wounds, but are showing signs of extreme anxiety. Prompt action is needed.]
“I’d also like to return it to its original habitat.”
Oscar retorted at Mabel’s words.
“The Red Prover Habitat has long since dried up due to drought.”
The chronic drought that has already been going on for several years has been destroying not only humans but also ecosystems across the continent. The valleys where fresh water flowed not too long ago dried up, and the green grasslands became desolate deserts. Although the rate of desertification has slowed in recent years, it has not stopped completely. Franz also agreed with a serious face.
“His Highness Oscar is right. In addition to the red prober, many rare animals and beasts’ habitats have been destroyed.”
Mabel’s expression hardened.
“…So you’re saying there’s no place to go back to?”
“yes. That’s right.”
Shouldn’t I have just brought it? After regretting it for a moment, Mabel shook her head firmly. If he hadn’t brought them, he didn’t know what kind of trouble the red probers would have gone through. Mabel clenched her fists tightly.
“If the habitat is gone, you just have to find a new one.”
Mabel had the strength and resources to do so. and himself. Everyone in the room was in awe at the proud master’s declaration. Mabel’s order followed immediately.
“Casey, please look out for a land in the northwest that is sparsely populated, and Master, please secure a budget.”
[Okay, lady.]
“Heh heh. All right.”
Mabel’s gaze turned to Oscar and Aidan in turn.
“Oscar and Aidan, work with me to figure out how to transport the red prober.”
“Okay Mabel.”
“yes.”
After the discussion on the red prober was over, the discussion on the next agenda began without a moment to breathe.
“Veron Arthur Devlica will make a move soon.”
In fact, it has already moved. It started with touching Aidan’s taboo. Mabel didn’t think Veron would end the provocation just by touching the taboo.
‘Because of his personality, he must have already started working behind the scenes.’
It took a move to shake Devlin in order to get Veron out of his mind so he couldn’t do anything wrong.
“Even though there is little exchange with other countries, the Devlin Empire is strong and strong because of all the magic materials. Thanks to that, I have a lot of various magic tools and strong wizards.”
Using that point, I have already tested all over Ermano. Distributing Veneno was part of that. As a result, Veron had a bad influence to the extent that he directly stepped forward, so the effect was already proven.
“My plan is simple. It’s stealing and distributing magic materials that Devlin had monopolized. However, if there is a difference from Veneno’s time…”
Tang. Mabel’s palm hit the center of the continental map spread out on the table.
“Distributing to all continents.”
Everyone was surprised at the unexpected scale. Aidan, who had been silent all along, opened his mouth.
“It is impossible to distribute Veneno to other countries in a situation where the entire distribution of Veneno is dependent on His Majesty. No matter how strong His Majesty’s holy power is, her body will not be able to withstand it.”
“It’s impossible to distribute a sufficient amount anyway. Just an amount that can be negotiated with other countries is enough.”
What Mabel wanted was a ‘justice’ to exchange with other countries. And Devlin will feel a crisis in that fact.
“And isolating it.”
Only Devlin is excluded from this vast continent. That was Mabel’s ultimate goal. In addition, the national interest to be reaped was enormous as all profits from selling the materials would belong to Ermano. Mabel’s eyes twinkled as she talked about her plans without hesitation. Looking at Mabel like that, Oscar thought.
‘As expected, the emperor’s judgment was right.’
He was not meant to become emperor. The owner of the crown had to be Mabel. Recognition for the weak, merciless punishment for the wicked. Isn’t that what a true emperor is talking about?
***
Late night to go to bed now. I ran into an unexpected spark of opposition.
“no. no way!”
“But Oscar, this can’t be helped.”
“There is nothing that cannot be helped. It’s not okay. Sleeping in the same bedroom…
” Oscar had discovered my plan to stick with Aidan. I didn’t know that Oscar, who always listened to everything I had to say, would oppose it with such enthusiasm. He had already explained the ban and Aidan’s runaway several times, but they were unsteady.
“What if Aidan runs out of control after being far away from me? The people of Hwangseong will get hurt.”
“It’s just in case. You don’t have to sleep in the same bedroom.”
“Still, it’s better to stay close to each other.”
The war of words with Oscar was endlessly long. It seemed like no matter what I did, I couldn’t break that stubbornness. I saw Aidan sitting on the couch watching us with an expressionless expression on his face, as if he didn’t care, and Oscar, who still had a disapproving look on his face.
‘Is that the only way after all?’
Eight. After holding Aidan’s hand first, I held Oscar’s hand with the other hand. Then, with a whimper, he dragged the two boys into bed and threw them on their stomachs. The two of them were half-lying on the bed, following my hand while making strange faces.
“You can sleep like this.”
“what what what?!”
“Oh sleepy. let’s sleep I’ll be busy from tomorrow.”
Oscar jumped up and jumped out of bed, but I held onto his hand and wouldn’t let go.
“Mabel….”
“Cozaja Oscar.”
He closed his eyes as if to soothe a struggling child. Then, as if giving up, a sigh mixed with laughter was heard.
“…I really can’t stop it.”
I giggled and buried my face in the pillow. Even as she slowly fell asleep, she did not let go of her hands. . . . Mabel’s bedroom lit by a single soft light. Shin-su, who had landed on the window, walked leisurely.
[During the day, they pretended to be all grown-ups while discussing plans in other countries, and in the end, they were just kids…] They
were asleep without the world knowing about them. What if I catch a cold? After the gigantic sheep clicked its tongue, it pulled the blanket with its teeth and meticulously covered it over the bodies of the three children. At that time, when everyone was peaceful, Veron’s plan was secretly under way.
