Chapter 115. Emily’s plan 2021.03.09.
The kitchen family, who were terrified by Esteban’s appearance, rushed as if they had met a savior.
“Your Majesty! Welcome! Please stop His Majesty the Emperor!”
“I’m afraid something big will happen!”
“It’s so dizzying and scary!”
Esteban quickly grasped the situation. Mabel tilts her head while holding a small knife and a mess of food ingredients on the kitchen counter. As one cook put it, it was a truly dizzying sight. But what if that damned sharp blade cut through Mabel’s delicate skin? Esteban began to approach Mabel very slowly. With a cautious gesture, as if approaching a dangerous beast in front of him.
“Mabel. First of all… Let’s put down the knife first and talk. huh?”
“I can’t do it…”
Putting down the knife that I barely managed to defend against the chef. Mabel shook her head at the words like thunder from the sky.
“I will cook.”
“When it comes to cooking, isn’t there a chef? Mabel. There is no need for you to step out. So stop and come here.”
“…!!”
Mabel’s face was stained with shock. In response, Esteban realized that he had made a mistake, but it was too late to correct it. Mabel’s face contorted sadly.
“My dad seems angry, so I bought some ingredients to cook for him…”
“No, Mabel. That’s not-”
“Is my cooking useless?”
“Mabel.”
“no. Dad is right…. Why am I cooking when the chef is better at it?”
Mabel, visibly sullen, set the knife down limply on the countertop. Esteban’s heart broke when he saw his daughter’s disappointment.
“I’m sorry, Mabel. I made a mistake. do it Do whatever you want!”
“I won’t…”
Mabel shook her head and tried to leave the kitchen with her shoulders drooping. Esteban, thinking that he might end up hating Mabel, stood in front of him.
“I really want to eat the food my lovely daughter made.”
“But Dad.”
“As long as you keep your promise to be careful, you can do it. I can’t wait to see what you’re going to cook for me.”
Esteban looked at Mabel with twinkling eyes as if he was really looking forward to it. Then, the morose Mabel regained some confidence.
“Then wait a minute. I will make it soon.”
“okay. I was hungry at the time, but that’s good.”
It wasn’t long before they had a late meal due to a meeting, but Esteban deliberately hid it. After getting permission from her father, Mabel proudly stood in front of the kitchen counter and grabbed a knife. The people in the kitchen were frightened by the frightened sight and whispered to Esteban.
“Damn the situation. I asked you to dry it, but what if you allow it…!”
Esteban clenched his fists with a determined face.
“…Let’s see.”
The chef grievously clung to his decision.
“your majesty! It’s not possible!”
“This is also the process of growing a child.”
“But if His Majesty were to get hurt…”
“Isn’t it the adult’s job to watch it so that it doesn’t happen?”
“Your Majesty…”
It must have been a difficult decision for Esteban, who loved Mabel more than anyone else. Everyone present had tears in their eyes. Mabel, who didn’t care at all whether there was a scene from the back that couldn’t be seen without tears, looked at the condition of the ingredients. It was very fresh because I picked it myself.
‘I can’t believe I can use the ingredients like this!’
As Mabel smiled brightly and placed her chin on the meat with her left hand, the people watching flinched.
‘The above is dangerous.’
‘Please don’t get hurt…’
Gulp. Amidst the silence, the sound of someone swallowing dry saliva sounded like thunder. and after a while cling tight. artifacts. The mouths of those who were watching opened their mouths at the sound of cooking that came so peacefully.
“I’m sure this is your first time cooking….”
“How are your hands so unusual?”
Obviously, it is normal to be clumsy, but Mabel’s dexterity was not normal. After skillfully mincing the meat, sprinkle salt and pepper on it and mix it thoroughly. Then he took out the bread and cut it into round shapes.
“chef. How do you turn on the light?”
The chef, who had been engrossed in Mabel’s question, was startled.
“yes? yes yes! I’ll turn it on!”
There were no more people who said it was dangerous. Those who even abandoned what they were doing began to look at Mabel’s cooking with dazed faces.
‘right. burden.’
Amid eager gazes, Mabel oiled the pan and pressed the round shaped meat into the oven. I didn’t forget to bake the two slices of bread in the remaining place as well. For the sauce, after tasting the original sauce, I mixed it up nicely. Spread the sauce on the bread, put the tomato lettuce cheese on the patty, and cover the bread again!
“complete!”
Finally, Mabel’s handmade burger was completed.
‘It’s been 2 years since I worked part-time at a handmade burger shop!’
Mabel, who placed the burger beautifully on a plate, gave it to Esteban with a smile.
“Dad, try it!”
Esteban accepted the plate with a bewildered face. Mabel’s expectant gaze stared up at him.
“…to make food with those tiny hands.”
I saw it with my own two eyes, but it was hard to believe.
“I’m sorry I only played with Oscar, Dad. I really didn’t do that on purpose! But cooking is the first time I’ve cooked for my dad… You’re going to take your anger out now, right?”
Where did the bright face go, and there was a child in front of him who was hesitant. Esteban resented his narrow-mindedness. How can you care about such a thoughtful and kind daughter?
“Are you angry? How could I be mad at you, who is lovely? Anyone who is angry with you deserves to die.”
At Esteban’s words, people nodded their heads in agreement with ‘hmm’.
“Aren’t you mad?”
“then.”
Esteban only wanted to kill his past self, who showed signs of disappointment to his children.
‘How dare I make Mabel sad.’
Mabel laughed bashfully, as if relieved. Esteban’s heart skipped a beat. It was the first time in my life that I cooked only for my dad, and somehow I felt like I was going to cry. Esteban struggled to control his overflowing emotions and asked Mabel.
“By the way, was this food developed by you, Mabel?”
“uh? It’s not like that…”
“It’s like a sandwich, but it’s a little different.”
“I think I saw it in a book. Try it anyway!”
Mabel, who is in danger of becoming a burger developer in an instant following the creator of Hangeul, urgently changed the topic. Esteban stared at the piping hot burger on the plate. It was a big deal.
‘I was going to stuff it without eating it…’
However, I ran into a crisis where I had to eat it because of Mabel’s twinkling eyes.
***
Residence of Duke Javier in the capital. The mansion without an owner was rather lively. Emily, who had a tea time with young ladies of her age in the late afternoon, was bombarded with questions from the ladies.
“Miss Emily is closest to His Majesty the Emperor.”
“Yes.”
It was a relationship where we were allowed to talk comfortably when we were alone. I didn’t try to do that, but I couldn’t hide that I was somehow proud.
“Then, do you know about the ‘burger’ that His Majesty made this time?”
“Ah, that dish.”
Emily had a victor’s smile. The dish that His Majesty the Emperor made for Emperor Sang Hwang was spread widely by the people in the imperial kitchen who were watching the scene, and it became a topic of discussion in the social world. On top of that, there is even a situational system that goes one step further, saying, ‘My daughter is a culinary genius. No, he’s just a genius!’ It was to the extent that there was no one who didn’t know about it. Interesting topic There was no way that nobles who were frantic about something new would miss that topic.
“I ate it when I met His Majesty the Emperor. It was very tasty.”
Of course, it wasn’t Mabel’s recipe, but the imperial chef’s recipe. At Emily’s words, the ladies gave eyes full of envy. After such a simple tea time, Emily saw off the guests and headed to Enrique’s room. When I entered the room, I saw Enrique sitting at the desk with stationery spread out in agony. I was so lost in thought that I didn’t even notice Emily coming in. Confirming the recipient of the insinuating letter, Emily smiled meaningfully.
“Brother. Are you digging again?”
“…Emily!”
“Do you think you can win the heart of our arrogant Majesty with that letter?”
“Since we were young, we often exchanged letters. That’s why I write, Emily.”
“Hmm. okay?”
Emily looked at her brother, who was desperately trying to hide her feelings, with a somewhat salty heart.
‘It’s like a pitiful older brother.’
Emily knew that Enrique’s heart hadn’t been raised in a day or two. The small feeling of affection grew more and more uncontrollably, and only blossomed when I thought I was saved. No one can deny the intensity of a person wandering in the dark when he sees a single ray of light. Such was the meaning of Mabel to Enrique.
‘But the rival is too strong.’
Emily remembered the boy who had become the demon of Devlin and now the angel of Ermano. Aidan Aserad. He single-handedly won the border war with Devlin and played an important role in restoring the territory that had been taken away. There was even a record of escorting Mabel from when he was toddlering.
‘In addition to being blind as if only Mabel existed in this world…’
Emily, who spent as much time with Mabel as the Emperor’s playmate, could not avoid spending time with Aidan. There was a time when Mabel had an urgent business and was away for a very short time. There was a great silence, so I greeted them first to ease the atmosphere.
“Hello Sir Aidan. Isn’t the weather nice?”
“…”
“Your Majesty is late. Did something happen?”
“….”
There was no answer that came back that was not rewarding on purpose. Emily was very surprised by that part.
‘A guy who only looks at me is romantic!’
In addition, his appearance was also handsome enough to bewitch people. Emily instead stared at Enrique, who was looking at her feeling defeated.
“…Emily?”
“no. The face… um. are you okay.”
Appearance was bland. If that side sees a match with a gorgeous appearance, this side responds with a sad appearance. The problem was Enrique’s personality. Maybe it’s good to have this sukmaek that is desperate for even a single letter.
“Why are you looking at me like that, Emily…”
“I’m thinking about how I can save my brother’s life.”
“Is something wrong with my life?”
Seeing her brother who seemed innocent and innocent, Emily made a big decision. I can’t help it. Let’s push!
‘Because when my older brother becomes the government secretary, the Javier family will naturally become mine.’
okay. So that’s it. But on the other hand, I actually had other plans. There was no desire to have a close relationship with Mabel that went beyond being friends. If Enrique marries Mabel, he will become a family too. That’s how Emily’s ruse began.
***
[There’s a problem with the plan.]
It wasn’t even the promised time, but Casey uttered it when he contacted me without hesitation.
“It’s my snack time right now….”
[Snack is important, red probers are important?!]
“It’s not liver. Of course Proverge…”
I left the snacks and hid in the dressing room, giving up the snacks with tears in my eyes. It’s my chocolate cake that the nanny must have put away. Hi.
“So what happened?”
A rough plan had already been drawn up. I couldn’t continue to use short-distance movement magic, so in the end I had to move the red prober by land. Of course, the red prober has the characteristic of being a beast species that is vulnerable to stress, so I made the shortest route considering that. It’s only one week until the new habitat. It was such a plan that Casey would move in the name of the guild to be traded.
[The shortest route continues through the territory owned by Duke Javier. Even if you try to avoid it because there are so many lands, it is the Duchy of Javier in the end.]
“That’s a pretty big problem.”
[That’s right.]
The relationship between the Javier family and the Evil Guild was at its worst due to Duke Javier’s debt case. Even if the duke, the person involved, went missing, the family’s vassals were still in good health. If non-regular merchants were to pass through for the purpose of trade, a small toll tax would be levied on the territory, and it was obvious that there would be problems in the process.
“I don’t think they will let you through.”
[It’s like the road is blocked.]
“Then, can’t we use movement magic only when passing Javier’s territory?”
[The magic wave might remain, so the Ministry of Magic might investigate it.]
“Keep…”
I thought hard about it, but no answer came out. I thought it would be a good idea to ask Oscar, the new brains of the guild, for his opinion.
“Ask Oscar, too.”
[at las! For some reason , Casey,
who was thrilled, cut off contact without saying goodbye.
“…”
I was looking at the communication magic tool in amazement when the nanny knocked outside.
“your majesty. Come on out.”
“why?”
When I opened the door and came out, the nanny put on a light coat to put on.
“Miss Emily Javier requested an audience with Her Majesty. Are you going?”
“Yeah, let’s go!”
The regular tea time had long since become meaningless since the day she and Emily opened up. Looking at the snack spot that had already been removed by the nanny, I sang for joy inside.
‘I have to eat the snacks I couldn’t eat with Emily!’
I deliberately invited Emily to her bedroom to chat comfortably.
“Meet Your Majesty the Emperor.”
“Yes, welcome, Emily.”
We greeted each other with a formal distance, and were released as soon as Larima left the tea and snacks and went outside.
“Did Mabel not sleep well? Your face is rough.”
“It’s because I can’t eat snacks. Nanny won’t let you eat.”
“I don’t think that’s the problem.”
“Mmm.”
With a fork in my mouth, I stared at Emily. If there’s one issue that’s been bothering me the most lately, it’s definitely the red prober’s habitat. And the news that Casey delivered today made me more tired.
‘The Duchy of Javier and Emily Javier…’
I carefully rhymed.
“Actually, I really want something, but I’ve run into some problems.”
“What do you want? Is there anything you can’t have?”
Emily opened her eyes wide.
“Maybe Emily can help.”
“What?”
“They said the item was from the Northwest, so I requested it from the Evil Guild, but they said there was a problem with passing through the Xavier Territory-.”
“I will help you!”
“Yes?”
I didn’t even ask for it first, but Emily actively stepped forward to help.
“Still, shouldn’t I say that the story should be heard and listened to?”
I was worried that I wouldn’t be scammed somewhere. Didn’t your father already have a history? Although the problem is that I am a cheater.
“Actually, the land around there was given to Mrs. Deverill by my damn father. The actual owner is the Countess Deverill. How about we go see each other?”
“good!”
If it was the Countess Deverill, it was good to be relieved.
‘Isn’t things going well?’
. . A few days after that, Emily and I came to Countess Deverill’s mansion, and I was surprised to see the guest who had arrived earlier.
