Chapter 13. Already looking forward to that day2020.03.17.
“Come here, Your Highness.”
“Come on.”
The grandfather and the emperor stretched out their arms to me at the same time. I opened my mouth and looked at the two men alternately.
“Huum….”
If I choose one, it seems like something big will happen that I can’t handle.
‘Should I cry.’
As I frowned and gathered up the sensibility to cry, Oscar ran in through the open door.
“Mabel! …omg.”
Oscar ran towards me, but when he saw the two men in a tense atmosphere, he backed away in fright. Then I thought of a better way than crying. Without paying attention to the Emperor and Grandpa, I stretched out an arm for Oscar.
“Euuah!” (Come to work!)
Oscar came over and hugged me while feeling burdened by the pouring gaze.
“I’m a little late because I have a lot of assignments, Mabel. Did you wait a long time?”
“Ugh.”
It was better to be hugged by Oscar. As if they couldn’t bear to be jealous of a six-year-old, the two men’s momentum faded.
‘Ehh. It’s hard to eat and live…’

Holy Empire Abelardo. Montego, who had been detained in Ermano all along, finally returned to his homeland. The punishment was light compared to the crime of kidnapping the imperial family, but the follow-up measures were heavy. From now on, Montego will not be able to set foot in Ermano. After crossing the border, Montego headed straight to the temple where the God King was staying.
“Welcome, Montego.”
The young man almost lying on the throne was Michael Abelardo, the god-king. A person with the castle of Abelardo that only the God King can receive. It was an existence surrounded by a veil because it did not reveal itself externally. Thus, the rumors surrounding the God King were innumerable. Because everything was handled through an agent, his appearance and age were unknown. Contrary to the public perception that he is a soon-to-be grandfather with gray hair, King Shin has the appearance of a young man in his early 20s even if he is given a lot in his late teens. Platinum hair bright enough to look silver at first glance, and red eyes that seem to be bewitching. The young man with a nonchalant expression was so beautiful that his eyes were opened. Montego bowed his head to the god-king, who was much younger than himself, and swallowed dryly.
‘The appearance is not real.’
His actual age was much older than Montego. No one knew exactly how old he was. Montego knew the character of the God-King. He certainly won’t forgive himself for failing in his mission.
“What is the seed of God?”
At Michael’s question, Montego lowered his head even more.
“…failed.”
“Right. okay.”
“yes?”
“I know.”
Of course, there was no anger or reprimand that I expected to fly. Montego looked blankly at himself, and Michael tilted his head annoyedly.
“I never expected you to bring Montego anyway. Because I am so incompetent.”
“that…!”
“You have nothing to say?”
Montego shook his head. I couldn’t live up to the God King’s expectations, so I could bear this kind of insult. But I didn’t have any expectations in the first place.
“You don’t seem to understand, so I’ll kindly explain. I only sent you to try to get Ermano’s reaction.”
“….”
“How well you protect the seed of God. How can I bring him to Abelardo? It’s like a kind of rehearsal.”
“okay.”
Montego nodded. Everyone in the temple knew that Michael’s personality had deteriorated, so it was nothing new. It’s unfortunate that I became the bait, though.
“So what are you planning to do?”
“hmm.”
Michael, who was silently contemplating with his chin resting, smiled brightly.
“I have something in mind.”
“Is that so.”
Montego thought. If you only look at the pretty exterior, you look like an angel, but you want to know how vicious it is inside, but you don’t want to know.

The incident happened just after taking a bath during the day when the sun was at its warmest! The sudden pain in my mouth made me cry, covering my mouth with both hands.
“Uh… Ugh!”
“oh. Why are you like that?”
The nanny, who had just changed, lifted my clothes again in amazement. But I couldn’t have excused myself. I cried because my mouth hurt so much. I didn’t even want to cry, but I was startled by the sudden pain and burst into tears. When they heard my cry, Larimar and Xavier ran to the bed.
“majesty! Why are you! Where are you sick?”
“Don’t make a fuss about Larimar. Your Highness is surprised.”
Xavier patted me and calmed me down while saying a word to Larima. Fortunately, the pain gradually subsided, but the anxiety did not completely disappear.
“Are you okay now?”
I shook my head vigorously at the nanny’s question.
“Aho!” (It hurts!)
“Does it hurt a lot? Shall we take a look?”
Nanny gently opened my mouth. Looking carefully at his mouth, the nanny laughed.
‘…nurse?’
I’m sick but laughing like that How could a nanny do this? I glared at the nanny with tears in my eyes from a tremendous sense of betrayal. I didn’t trust the emperor or Oscar, but I did trust the nanny! I showed my everything and trusted you!!
“Madam. Why is Her Highness crying all of a sudden?”
At Xavier’s question, the nanny laughed again ‘hoho’.
“His Highness is suffering from a toothache right now.”
Startled, I grabbed the nanny’s hand.
“This child?” (Tooth pain?)
“Yes. It’s getting teeth.”
“this?”
“yes. It’s teething.”
“this!”
The feeling of betrayal towards the nanny had long since disappeared.
‘this! am! I finally got teeth! I’m starting to get teeth too!’
“haha. Your Highness is also cute! You don’t even know what it is, but you’re so happy.”
Larimar smiled and ignored me, but decided to let it go this time. Having teeth meant that sooner or later I would be able to speak. I am no longer able to speak properly and be treated like an animal! As I shrugged and was amused, Nanny and the rest laughed at me.
“Now then, let’s get ready.”
After finishing my clothes, the nanny pushed Xavier and Larimar on the back. The two tilted their heads.
“What are you preparing?”
“This news must have reached His Majesty’s ears, so we should prepare to greet His Majesty.”
A moment of silence fell. Xavier and Larimar froze and I felt bewildered. No one went to report, so how did the emperor come? I yawned heartily. But I thought it was okay, but my gums hurt again.
“Uh uh…”
I won’t cry. I won’t cry This is a sacrifice for the great. This level of pain for my language skills is nothing! But it was also very painful.
“Hey.”
When I burst into tears again, the nanny held me in her arms and patted me.
“It’s okay, Your Highness. It is proof that Your Highness is growing.”
I know that, but I didn’t know it would hurt this much. Also toothache is terrible. Since one or two teeth won’t grow, how long will I have to feel this pain? Fortunately, after whining for a while, the pain went away.
“Ayu, Your Highness. You have been patient.”
The nanny stroked my hair affectionately. It’s embarrassing to be praised for just enduring pain, but after a few months, I’m used to it. Larimar, who was squatting in front of me and resting her chin, said as if she had suddenly remembered it.
“Come to think of it, it seems like Her Highness has been crying for a long time.”
“Because Her Highness doesn’t cry often.”
Xavier replied. hot. My conscience hurt. In fact, I didn’t have much to cry about, and when I needed help, I used to call people with babbling. When was the last time you cried
other than today? Isn’t your highness crying so cute?”
Larimar made a tremendous statement. I looked up at her blankly.
‘Hey, Larimar…?’
But what’s even more absurd is that Xavi also agreed to that statement.
“You are usually wrong, but I agree with you. Since Her Highness doesn’t cry often, I guess it’s special to cry.”
‘Zabi and you…!’
After all, the only thing I could trust was the nanny. I looked up earnestly, holding on to the hem of the nanny’s dress. The nanny looked at me and smiled.
“Your smiling face is the prettiest.”
After all, there is only a nanny…!
“You’re cute when you cry.”
“…”
I was betrayed by three people like this. To say I was enjoying myself crying is like perverts. Even for revenge, I will never cry no matter how much my toothache hurts! The door opened just as I was clenching my fists, swearing bloody revenge.
“Mabel!”
It was the emperor who breathed heavily. For a moment, I remembered the conversation the nanny and the rest had had earlier. The Emperor is coming soon, so we have to prepare for it… Were you kidding, for real? But since these three are the only ones who know that I’m suffering from teething, I’m guessing there’s no one else to spread the news. According to my deduction skills, the culprit was Lisandro Donovan. He gets angry whenever he sees me, so he usually hides himself, but he’s always watching me.
“It’s a national celebration that teeth are finally coming out.”
“Eh…?”
The emperor again began to speak nonsense that he could not contain.
‘I don’t think that’s the case!’
“This tooth is coming out. What should I give you this time?”
The emperor was trying to bestow something on me again. In an instant, the bounty passed through my mind. Northern Forest of Imperial Castle Ponce Castle Personal Report Principality of Bistante… There are so many that I can’t really remember. Anyway, that alone was too much for me, but I felt like I couldn’t take more. I hurriedly grabbed the emperor’s hand and shouted.
“Let’s go!”
“Should I…?”
“Say it!”
“You mean sweets?”
I nodded vigorously. It was a fairly decent bounty for something made in haste. As long as it’s baby snacks, it’s okay. But that was the result of my underestimating the emperor too much.
“snack. sweets okay. I will give you the chef of nature.”
“…?”
I asked for snacks, I didn’t ask for someone…!
***
Cuggit. In Esteban’s hand, the letter from Abelardo was mercilessly crumpled. As if that wasn’t enough, Seo-sin soon met a gruesome death with a ‘jjiik’ sound. Gustav, who watched the scene with a white face, spoke carefully.
“your majesty. I have to send a reply…”
“Send it off.”
“Ahaha.”
Gustav’s mouth is smiling, but his eyes are weeping.
‘It’s always like this, I don’t clean up every time…’
Esteban glared at the torn correspondence. The contents of the letter from Abelardo, the Holy Kingdom, was a kind of declaration of war. During Mabel Winter Gardenia Ermano’s first birthday party, Michael Abelardo, the new king, will attend.
‘After Montego’s attempted kidnapping, I thought he gave up because he was quiet, but he seems to have been acting like this behind the scenes.’
Jjiik. Jjiik-. While Esteban was contemplating, the letter was mercilessly torn from his hand. He tore everything he could, so what was once a letter had been transformed into particles.
‘Maybe it worked out.’
If it is a declaration of war, it is enough to respond. Esteban had both the reason and ability to protect Mabel. It was better to be defenseless than to be taken aback by not knowing anything.
“Gustav.”
“Yes, Your Majesty….”
Gustav answered, looking blankly at ‘something that was once a letter, but now it has become particles and flutters around.’ Gustav’s head was filled with worries about ‘how to convey the answer to ‘get off’ in a euphemistic, lyrical, elegant and harmless way.’ Esteban felt sorry for such an aide and wrote a personal letter from the emperor and handed it over.
“Send this to Abelardo.”
“This is…”
It must be a personal letter containing the words to get rid of it! Will the war with Abelardo finally break out? As Gustav trembled and refused to receive the personal letter, Esteban’s expression became increasingly grim.
“Salary cut-.”
Before Esteban finished speaking, he hurriedly received the letter. If you get to ‘persimmon’, big things will happen. After examining the contents of the personal letter, Gustav’s expression became profound. What was written there was a very peaceful welcome. Welcoming and looking forward to the visit of the god king…
“Can we really send it like this?”
“okay.”
Gustaf hurriedly ran out of the office, lest Esteban change his mind. Esteban clenched his chin and watched the back of his aide. The remaining period until Mabel’s first birthday party was about two months.
‘The God King, who says it’s hard to see his face at least once, has to personally prepare for the remaining months.’
“I’m already looking forward to that day.”
Even Abelard, who would be astonished, felt amused by himself when he remembered their reaction.
