Chapter 167. As of today, the Evil Guild will be disbanded2021.09.07.
He and Devlin’s emperor Veron Arthur Devlica had a terrible relationship. I will never forget the day our eyes met for the first time. Then they instinctively knew. It’s a bad relationship that you have to put an end to the other person throughout your life. Since recognizing each other’s existence, it was a fate that they could not coexist in one world. It was a primal instinct and intuition. To the point where I was rather fortunate to have been born in an enemy country. The end of the long war between Devlin and Ermano It was Esteban Nice Hermano, who was the crown prince at the time, who finally won. Esteban, who had put an end to the war by cutting off the right arm of Veron, who was said to be the best wizard in Devlin, took the throne proudly. I just knew that it was the end. I didn’t know that he would persist like a cockroach and struggle to get rid of his children somehow. Esteban clasped his trembling hands and bowed his head. I didn’t want to show the appearance of a weak father, but it wasn’t easy.
“I, Dad, just want you to grow up… please.”
“don’t worry. We are growing up well.”
“But Veron is cruel Mabel. I am a human without blood or tears. He wants to eliminate enemies by any means necessary. It will be dangerous.”
“dad.”
Mabel reached out and covered Esteban’s large hands. Even with both hands together, it was impossible to cover all of Dad’s hands, but Mabel was satisfied.
“There is no blood or tears, neither do I.”
“who?”
“me!”
“…You Mabel?”
“huh. How wicked and mean am I?”
Mabel deliberately smiled evilly, but in Esteban’s eyes, it was just the face of her daughter’s smiling face. A little cuter than usual. Esteban’s hand was still trembling slightly.
‘A cowardly father.’
As expected, Esteban was afraid. I despair after assuming the worst possibility of something that has not yet happened. Normally, he was cool-headed, but he became infinitely weak when it came to his children.
‘It can’t be helped.’
Mabel has been involved in guild activities, thinking that she could be caught at any time. Because I thought there were no perfect secrets in the world. I didn’t know I would be able to say it with my own mouth, but Esteban’s reaction was similar to what I had imagined. There was a saying that I always thought about when I expected this situation to come.
‘Because I am my father’s weakness, I am also responsible for persuading him.’
Mabel held Esteban’s hand tightly. Strong and firm as if he would never let go.
“Dad taught me.”
“…what?”
Esteban raised his head. He saw his little daughter looking at him with straight eyes. Soon Mabel answered with a light smile.
“How to love.”
Esteban constantly knocked and talked to Mabel, who had been reborn and closed the door to her heart, and eventually saved her by risking her life. Then Mabel realized. You can love without paying anything. this is what you love … Then I guess I can love someone too. Mabel learned to love and be loved by unconditional affection that slowly faded like spring rain on a dry land after a harsh winter. That’s why I came to love this world, so I was willing to protect it. Mabel never considered this a sacrifice.
“I can’t stand still when the world the people I love live in is in danger.”
“….”
“If you stay still, you will only get hurt. That’s how Oscar was attacked. It’s better to remove the risk factor before then.”
If you keep getting beaten, hit first. Esteban agreed with that opinion. But he still couldn’t accept why it had to be Mabel to play the part. He’s only ten years old. I even made him emperor with the hope that he would live safely without sending him anywhere.
‘He’s too special to keep in one place.’
Esteban just wanted to deny that fact. Looking at the silent Esteban with a pale face, Oscar, who had been silent all along, opened his mouth.
“Emperor. Mabel is strong.”
“…Oscar.”
“To the extent that I don’t even need to protect it.”
Mabel is strong. During the swordsmanship competition, Esteban witnessed the confrontation between Aidan and Zeke with his own eyes. Since it is a gemstone that will shine if polished, he even thought that it was a talent to be recruited into the empire unconditionally, and that if he refused, he would have to be eliminated. Thinking about it now, it was an absurd check. That Mabel is the Ermano Empire itself.
‘okay. Mabel is strong. But…’
Acknowledging the truth and not wanting to expose his child to danger as a father collided.
‘Siana. I miss you so much at times like this.’
Unlike herself, who was indecisive and could not easily make a decision related to her child, Shiana would have given a wise answer.
“Then let me ask you a question. How are you going to defeat the Devlin Empire? Are you planning to go to war?”
As a war hero, Esteban ironically did not like war. It was because he knew how hard it was to pretend not to see the sorrowful cries of those who lost their livelihood or family.
“War. I have to earn it.”
“…”
Is that the only way to go after all? As Esteban was about to sigh, Mabel added a word.
“Only by bloodless war.”
“A bloodless war.”
There was no way that would be possible. But Mabel’s eyes were full of confidence.
“It will take away the position of the Devlin Empire on the continent. The cornerstone has already been laid. First of all, let it gradually fall.”
The first is to destroy its status as a magical powerhouse. The evil guild started distributing magic materials and made trade deals with other countries, and half of them were successful.
“And I also want to plant a spy in the Devlin Empire. Just as it happened.”
A child who resembled Siana had a temper that knew how to give back as much as she received. However, if returning the evil is the difference, is it the difference?
“There are other plans, but I’ll tell you about them slowly.”
There are even more operations. Looking at Esteban who was at a loss for words, Mabel said.
“Anyway, war is a last resort.”
What should I say to a child who is lined up with prepared words as if he has been waiting for this day? Even for Esteban, defeating Veron Arthur Devlica was a long-cherished wish. However, it was considered impossible without a willingness to go to war.
‘Veron… these children?’
Two pairs of bright blue-green eyes turned to him.
“dad.”
“Emperor.”
The two children waited for their answer.
“…okay. That’s what my children are.”
In the end, Esteban couldn’t break the will of Mabel and Oscar. Because it was you who taught me to love the world.
. . . Mabel confessed everything. Except for the story of living a second life. Esteban was on the verge of fainting at the constant confession of facts.
“That was Mabel you?”
“Yes.”
Since he was the Master of the Evil Guild, he naturally thought he would have taken over the guild. Isn’t it normal to think that way? But Mabel said.
“I founded it.”
that he founded
‘My daughter has already surpassed the level of genius.’
For some reason, it was unusual from the beginning. I should have known from then. I was so surprised that I was dizzy and grabbed my head. Oscar nodded as if he understood everything. At that moment, the rich man shared a strong sense of kinship. In addition, the child wearing a cape who briefly passed by at the auction house is the person in charge of Mabel. I was frustrated for a while because I couldn’t explain the discomfort I felt at the time, but when I said that I was the person in charge, all doubts were cleared. But the child back then was more than a span taller than Mabel now. To Esteban’s question, Mabel answered as if it was not a big deal.
“did you take the medicine.”
“What drug?”
“Growing medicine. It’s a medicine made by our guild submaster-”
Esteban’s expression hardened seriously.
“Hey Mabel. What if you pick something up and eat it? What are you going to do if something goes wrong!”
“Ah, picking up anything and eating it! I didn’t!”
Oscar, who had been sitting silently, gave a helping hand.
“I actually got sick.”
bang! Esteban slammed the table and jumped up from his seat.
“What a ride! what ride Did you get an upset stomach? Or maybe you have a fever!”
“Oscar. don’t blow it up Daddy is excited.”
Despite Mabel’s criticism, Oscar’s accusation did not stop.
“Emperor. Do you remember the day Mabel first stayed out?”
“Every time I remember. How can I forget that day My father thought it would break his heart to see Mabel stay up all night outside the dangerous castle.”
It was so shocking that at that time, I even remembered vividly that I personally invaded the Maido family and met Oscar. And I remembered that the pink-haired baby was in Oscar’s arms.
‘for a moment.’
Esteban’s thoughts were interrupted. The feeling of incongruity swept through his body again. Somehow I thought it was strange. At that time, the chubby feet and fluffy pink hair caught my attention. okay. There was no other child other than Mabel that was so lovable.
“no way. that baby.”
“This is Mabel.”
“…!!!”
Even after that, the stories that made Esteban the flagship continued. Hearing that he had met Veron at the auction house, he was really taken aback. When he said that Kietro was actually Devlin’s spy and tried to poison Mabel, he said he knew that and even tried to run to the Abysus fortress prison right away. During my not-so-long life, I’ve been through a lot of eventful things.
“What the hell were you doing to avoid this father’s eyes? These troublemakers…!”
He endured, endured, endured, and eventually Esteban exploded.
“I’m caught up in it, Father.”
Glancing at Oscar, who was sneaking away, Mabel murmured.
“right. Damn Oscar.”
“It’s petty. How hard was it for me in the middle? I thought my heart would drop every time my father asked how the investigation into the Evil Guild was going.”
“Well, Oscar had a hard time.”
As soon as the siblings began whispering and chatting among themselves, Esteban’s expression grew more stern.
“Oscar Alle Hermano.”
“yes?”
“For a week, entry into the castle is prohibited and 5 hours of training are added.”
“… Father!”
Mabel, who was looking at Oscar with eyes of sympathy, raised her head startled at her father’s stern gaze that moved toward her.
“Mabel Gardenia Ermano.”
“Yes?”
“Snack ban for a week and submission of 50 reflections. If there is an incident that has not been mentioned today, write it down in detail.”
“Oh Dad…!”
“why. Are there too many reflections?”
Esteban, who was thinking of cutting down about 10 chapters, was at a loss for words at Mabel’s ensuing scream.
“Snacks, please!”
“…”
The problem was not the self-reflection, but the snack.
‘…Let’s say that if I show the baby Mabel, I’ll escape punishment.’
Esteban seriously thought about it, but he tried to erase the thought.
“There is no turning back.”
“Chi…”
Mabel’s confession ended with a severe punishment.
***
As soon as I left the room, Aidan followed me. Today was especially with the sheep.
“Aidan. Let’s go to the guild.”
“Are you going to the second mansion?”
Among the officers of the second mansion, it was a place that referred to the Meirado family’s mansion. I wrote it when I made an excuse that I was going to see ISTY.
“no. It is no longer necessary.”
Since he had told his father about the evil guild, it was no longer necessary to go to the guild hideout via the second mansion. Arriving at the guild hideout, I summoned all the guild members. Everyone except Casey was the one who wrote the contract, so there was no concern about it being leaked. I roughly handed over the official document I had brought to Casey. Casey and Franz’s eyes widened after reading the first chapter. I kindly recited the contents of the official document for the rest of the guild members who did not know the contents.
“As of today, the Evil Guild will be disbanded.”
“…!”
The guild members were shocked.
“and.”
I smiled after looking around at everyone.
“I order the establishment of the secret agency ‘Evil’ directly under the emperor.”
It was a historic moment when the secret agency directly under the Emperor, ‘Evil’, was founded.
