Chapter 147. what? Does it work? 2021.06.29.
[Where is the house mouse?]
[Boom! Let’s catch and eat!]
It’s a late night when owls roam the sky looking for food. We held back our drowsiness and waited for someone hiding in the dark. The location was behind a bush, not far from the entrance to the Imperial Palace Prison.
“Aidan. Step aside.”
“It’s about to get out of the way.”
“What are you hiding? And stay away from Mabel.”
“There is no reason to follow your orders.”
The space behind the bushes was tight, so Aidan and Oscar started fighting with me sandwiched between them.
“Oscar. Aidan. If you’re going to fight, go home!”
After scolding them severely, the two fell silent. When a satisfied silence came, I held my breath again and gazed at the entrance to the prison.
‘It will definitely come.’
The trial ended so loudly that there was no way it would just go away. But the problem is, I don’t know how long I might have to wait, but I’ve reached my limit. cold and sleepy
“Haam.”
After a small yawn, Oscar patted me on the shoulder and said,
“Wait a minute, Mabel. I know you haven’t slept well lately because of the trial. Besides, I grew Veneno in my spare time, so it’s tiring.”
“no. Then you never know when it will show up.”
When I opened my eyes, Oscar gazed in a suspicious voice.
“Are you really going to come? Then it’s too obvious.”
“It’s because Oscar doesn’t know Veron’s personality. Obsession is on the level of madness.”
I glanced at Aidan for nothing. Aidan was the object of the Devlin family’s enormous obsession. But Aidan seemed to have no idea. Time passed very slowly. It’s been a long time since I’ve been crouching down so I can run at any time, and I’ve been sitting on the floor.
‘Did I guess wrong?’
He thought that he would either remove Duke Javier or steal him away before entering the Abysus Fortress prison, where he couldn’t go in and out at will due to Veron’s personality. In order to do so, he predicted that he would aim for the night when the guards were relatively weak, rather than the time of execution when the imperial troops crowded together and transported the criminals. But even if they don’t come, they don’t come too much. As time passed, somehow my confidence disappeared.
“Duke Javier is a discarded card? Ah, you are no longer a duke.”
“The former duke won’t be able to reveal that he’s a Devlin snob, so maybe Veron doesn’t care.”
There was a point in Oscar’s words. However, with my instinctive instincts, Veron would definitely try to use his hand. It was today’s plan to catch up with Devlin at that time.
“Sheesh.”
There is no way things will work out as smoothly as expected. It was when I was staring at the prison entrance with my chin resting on my hands, thinking that I would like to drink a strong cup of warm tea. Aidan first and Oscar a few seconds later turned his head to the left.
“why?”
But there was nothing where I looked. There was only the dark sight beyond the bushes. I started to get scared all of a sudden.
“Why are you both? There is nothing-.”
rustle.
“your majesty?”
“…Renesmee?”
The person who showed up was none other than Renesmee. It felt like my pulse was being released. Oscar and Aidan’s expressions did not change, as if they had already noticed. Renesmee looked at us one after another with a puzzled face.
“What are you three doing here?”
“The moon was bright, so I went out to look. What’s up with Renesmee?”
I deftly skipped over it and turned the question to Renesmee. Do you ever come to the vicinity of a prison alone without a servant following you? Renesmee tidied up the thick shawl and laughed shyly.
“I woke up and went for a walk, and I was here before I knew it.”
“But this place must be far from the royal palace.”
“I like the night breeze. Would you like to take a walk with your Majesty?”
“Uh, I’m different…”
It was just then that I was thinking about how I could gently decline Renesmee’s invitation.
“It’s an intruder!”
“The place is a dungeon! Gather!”
The sound of drums waking up the deep night sounded. It seemed that Veron had started to act now.
***
The imperial barrier has been breached. If Veron really initiated the operation, it meant that there was another snitch inside the imperial castle.
‘How many damn snitches are there?’
I set priorities even as I rushed through it. I had to check the condition of Veron’s target, Kietro. A quick exchange of glances with Aidan and Oscar. I got off my feet to run straight to the prison. But I could only move one step.
“Your Majesty, it’s dangerous! Leave it to the soldiers over there and escape!”
Renesmee cried and pulled me.
“Wait a minute, Renesmee…”
I tried to wring out my hand, but I couldn’t shake it off because I was holding it with both hands. Oscar and Aidan waited for me a few steps away. It was a waste of 1 second to delay meaninglessly like this. I was getting more and more anxious.
“Oscar. Will you take Renesmee to the villa?”
“But Mabel…!”
“Please.”
I stared into Oscar’s eyes. After a moment of silence, Oscar let out a light sigh and nodded. The reason I didn’t send Aidan was because I didn’t want to drop him from my side even for a moment, in a situation where the intrusion was presumed to be Veron’s work.
“Let’s go, Renesmee. I’ll take you.”
Oscar put his hand on Renesmee’s shoulder, probably thinking of rushing back. But Renesmee wouldn’t let me go.
“Your Majesty is coming too!”
“no. Renesmee. I have to go to jail.”
“I said it was an intruder, Your Majesty. It’s too dangerous. What if His Majesty is in danger?”
It wasn’t that Renesmee’s concerns weren’t understandable. But now, as usual, there was no time to explain things to Renesmee in detail.
“I know it’s dangerous. So you are going.”
“Why? Since you are the emperor, wait in a safe place…”
I said, firmly removing Renesmee’s hand.
“If an emperor is only giving orders from a safe place, then I will not be that emperor.”
***
“Cheer wheeze….”
The former Duke of Javier, Chietro, clutched his neck and rolled on the floor. I couldn’t breathe.
“Kkeok kuk…”
The words didn’t come out properly. He corrected his blurred vision and gave strength to stand up. failed once and for all. bang! The sound of hitting the thick barrier was heard. Outside the barrier, Ermano’s imperial troops swung their swords nonstop to get inside. However, the strong barrier did not go to the slightest incontinence. Five men in black masks surrounded Kietro and checked his condition.
“How far has the paralysis progressed?”
“My lungs are stiff, so it will be soon.”
In an instant, they rushed at Kietro and made him swallow an unknown pill. Right after that, Kietro lost consciousness for a moment. Then when I opened my eyes, I reached the point where I couldn’t breathe.
“Kkeok keuk…”
My body trembled incessantly. It was obviously cold until a while ago, but now it’s insanely hot.
‘It’s hot, it’s hot. hot. hot. It feels like burning.’
It felt like being thrown into a fire and being roasted alive. It would have been better if he had lost his mind or died like this, but his senses were sharper than usual. So it was more painful. In that state, there was no way I could afford to grasp the situation. I couldn’t help but suffer from the pain that was coming.
“The extraction will be successful in the next five minutes or so.”
‘extraction?’
For a moment, the question raised its head, but the burning pain cut off the thought. I couldn’t even move my fingertips anymore.
“Porridge… Chara… Lee. W…”
You’d better kill me. The masked men did not even listen to the words he spat out with all their might. Paralysis progressed rapidly. Occasionally convulsing, Kietro was consumed by pain. Finally, his tongue and vocal cords were paralyzed, and he could not even groan.
“Extract soon. We have about a minute left.”
They calmly waited for their time. In the meantime, the shock to break the barrier continued.
“Ten seconds left.”
bang!
“Five seconds left.”
Kwakwang!
“Three seconds.”
“Two seconds.”
Kietro’s eyes grew farther and farther away. Will you finally die? It was after a fleeting moment had passed. Wow! With a tremendous roar, the dungeon collapsed in half. It was different from the shock so far. Even before the thick fog lifted, the voice of someone Kietro knew well came.
“I have to control Aidan’s strength….”
“I adjusted it.”
“It’s okay. I will not speak.”
The lively voice, unsuitable for the urgent situation, gradually drew closer. The intruders pulled back, dragging Duke Javier on the back. Even with the enemy in front, Mabel approached without hesitation.
“Did you say extraction? What were you trying to extract?”
The intruders drew their weapons on alert. Mabel’s gaze turned to the sagging Kietro.
“Aidan. Stay back.”
“I will handle it.”
“If I run out of control here, I will die too.”
“…”
As much as I suspected that the opponent was Baron, I had to be more careful. If you lose your sanity by scattering even energy like last time, half of the imperial castle will be gone. Mabel faced the enemy without a weapon. Then the waiting knights tried to enter.
“It’s dangerous, Your Majesty!”
“We will stop intruders. Evacuate to the rear!”
However, he was blocked by Aidan’s energy and could not enter. Mabel’s eyes scanned the intruders.
‘Five people.’
discard the four The target was one guy, no more, no less. As soon as Mabel took a step, one quickly charged and swung a short sword. But Mabel did not move from the spot. I didn’t have to move. visor-! The intruder’s attack was helplessly bounced off Mabel’s thin barrier. Mabel tilted her head and stretched out her hand in the air. OK.
“Cheak!”
The intruder suddenly tumbled across the floor. It wasn’t that he had used a weapon, and it wasn’t that Mabel’s fingertips had touched him either. just fell apart
“what? does it work?”
Priests can inject holy power to heal others. But why not take away the divine power? It’s a question I’ve had for a long time, but I couldn’t test it. However, I thought there would be an enemy in front of me, so I tried it once, and it turned out to be real.
“Ohh…”
Mabel’s eyes flashed dangerously. Even the intruders who were skilled in combat were able to flinch at the look in their eyes. Their warlike mood was broken. Mabel instinctively realized that they would flee. This was a dungeon, and the entrance was blocked by the imperial troops, so it was impossible to penetrate. If so, there is only one way.
‘Short distance movement magic tool!’
However, magic could not be used without permission within the imperial barrier. If the coordinates were to be messed up, the body could get caught in the space-time gap and be cut off. As if to ridicule Mabel’s thoughts, the intruders took out magic tools and infused them with magic. There was a resounding, resonant sound of operation.
“Where are you going to run away!”
Mabel released her divine power and wrapped a strong barrier around the body of the defeated intruder. Thanks to that, he got out of the magic tool’s casting area. But even Kietro couldn’t afford it. Is Kietro being taken away by Veron’s hands like this? It was then. A gust of wind blew through Mabel’s hair. It’s a basement with no windows, so the wind wouldn’t blow, but it’s strange…. It wasn’t the wind. Aidan brushed Mabel’s side and swung his sword like flowing water, cutting off the arm of the intruder who was holding Chietro. Pot-! The movement magic was realized and the intruders escaped. As a result, Ermano was able to secure one intruder, Chietro, and an arm.
***
When Esteban arrived on the scene, everything was over. The condition of the half-destroyed dungeon was enough to explain what happened in the prison.
“An intruder attempted to kidnap the former Duke Javier.”
“You are an intruder. It means that the barrier of the imperial castle has been breached again.”
“…I have nothing to say.”
The knight commander knelt down. This was tantamount to a loss of imperial authority. Esteban was the first to crack down.
“What about Mabel?”
“Your Majesty is looking after the former Duke Javier.”
“It is undeserved that I am Duke Javier. Isn’t Kietro enough?”
After saying a word, Esteban headed to the guest bedroom where Mabel was. Seeing Esteban enter, Mabel immediately rolled her tail.
“Wrong. sorry. I can’t say I won’t do that again.”
“I don’t know if it’s reflection or provocation, Mabel.”
“In the middle…?”
“Sometimes the obscure is poison.”
Esteban couldn’t help but laugh as the matter was the matter. I was relieved to see that he was fine without a scratch.
“Oscar stays still, but you’re the one who gets into trouble every time, Mabel.”
“Oscar is also an accomplice.”
“These troublemakers…”
Esteban put his head down and sighed. Even Oscar, who was calm, had accidents when he was with Mabel. Mabel, who is presumed to be the mastermind behind the accident, smoked as if he knew nothing. Esteban gave up scolding and asked.
“Who is that little guy?”
“The imperial palace says that the whole body is paralyzed and cannot move. They said they prevented him from dying by prescribing an antidote.”
“Right.”
Esteban nodded calmly. Mabel tilted her head at that.
“Daddy, why didn’t you tell me not to heal me?”
Everyone assumed that Mabel would heal Chietro. However, Mabel only called the imperial court and did not use her divine power.
“You have no obligation to do so.”
Esteban dismissed it as if he had heard a worthless question. Mabel blinked blankly, then smiled brightly. Esteban left and Mabel called the imperial court.
“Healed, but not healed.”
“yes?”
“Maybe it’s paralysis that doesn’t work with divine power.”
The imperial court doctor believed the words of the seed of God like iron. Since Mabel declared that he could not be healed, of course the other priests didn’t have to use their hands. Chietro was sentenced to imprisonment in Abysus while being paralyzed.
***
“Don’t die, Kietro.”
Writhing in eternal pain, I resent the fate you ruined. In the end, I did not heal Kietro.
‘Because I’m not just a nice person.’
That was the last revenge I could give on behalf of Emily and Enrique.
