Chapter 178. Sleeping Hwangseong Emperor2021.10.16.
‘it hurts…!’
Mabel was overcome with so much pain that she couldn’t breathe or inhale. An alien energy swirled around her body as if searching for it. Surprised people tried to approach Mabel, but Mabel struggled to stop them by raising her hand.
“Do not come!”
“yes? but…!”
Mabel clenched her fists. The only person who could handle this energy was himself. Stopping it here would prevent this epidemic from becoming more serious. The energy reached the divine power within the body, and it rampaged even more madly. Then, he began to struggle to get out of Mabel’s body. However, it was not Mabel to be left alone.
‘You’re a cheery bastard, do you think you suffer as much as I do?’
Even as her consciousness gradually faded, Mabel devoted herself to controlling the dark energy. He used his body as a cage and clamped it tightly to prevent his energy from flying away. A cold sweat broke out. After a while, the energy gradually calmed down, and soon it could not overcome the divine power in the body and lost its resistance.
“It’s done…”
Puff! Relieved, Mabel collapsed on the spot.
“Kyaaak!”
“your majesty!”
Larimar and Xavier hurried away. However, there was someone who reached out to Mabel first.
“Mabel.”
Aidan muttered Mabel’s name. But the fingertips never touched Mabel.
‘If the memories absorbed by Mabel touch me, I don’t know what kind of backlash there will be.’
Aidan slowly clenched his fists. At that time, Enrique, who had passed Aidan, picked up the fallen Mabel. Mabel’s hand fell helplessly to the floor. One of the knights looked back at Aidan with a serious face.
“Your Majesty, Count Aserad, is unable to give orders, so please give them orders!”
Now that Mabel was unconscious, the first person in command was Aidan, the first escort. Aidan gave the order as he stared at Mabel, who had lost consciousness in a cold sweat.
“…Return to the palace soon.”
“yes!”
The party descended at a faster rate than they had ascended. The Lerial Pond they visited was just clear and peaceful, as if there had been some commotion.

‘Why are you suddenly getting chills?’
Esteban stopped driving and slowed down. Even if it wasn’t, the feeling that wasn’t so good hit the floor even more. Lisandro, who was riding right next to him, slowed down and drew closer to Esteban.
“Why is that, Your Majesty?”
“It is strangely ominous. I don’t think anything happened to Mabel.”
“It’s going to rain. haha.”
Lisandro slowly moved away with his characteristic silly laugh. Even so, Esteban’s expression did not ease.
‘He said he only went as far as the vicinity, but that’s what Mabel wanted.’
cheated on by daughter In the past, if Esteban and Mabel didn’t know what Mabel was doing because they secretly did great things, these days, they openly cheated on their father. At this point, I wondered if I had raised it too boldly.
‘no. Still, it’s better than having accidents in places I don’t know.’
Esteban found comfort in the memory of Mabel’s confession that, in fact, Evil was her guild. Compared to then, it is better now. Like this, you can run straight to the plague area that Mabel is headed for. It was then. One of the knights who was watching the front shouted while looking through the telescope.
“your majesty. The imperial carriage is coming from the other side!”
“what?”
Esteban focused his energy on his eyes. Unhuman vision activated. Indeed, the imperial carriage was running from the front. Although he pretended to be modest, Esteban was instantly recognizable. But…
‘Why is there only one wagon?’
Clearly, there were no articles that had been sent along. Enrique Javier and Aidan Aserad, who were said to have gone together, were also nowhere to be seen. Indeed, literally, a wagon was coming. Esteban sped up and cut in front of the wagon. The coachman forgot to say hello to the sudden appearance of Sang Hwang Je, and was terrified.
“Your Majesty the Four Situation?”
“How come you come back alone?”
“His Majesty has sent the carriage back!”
“why?”
“The destination was Lerial Pond, but the mountain was too steep to pull a wagon up there.”
“Lerial Pond? Isn’t it the source of the Videl River? What did you go there for?”
“Until that point, I’m fine too…”
Tsk. Esteban clenched his tongue and gestured to the coachman. The coachman, who had been baptized with questions, finally bowed and left for the imperial castle, passing by Sang Hwang and the knights.
“Are you going? There are quite a few moving magic tools that have already been consumed.”
“I have to go. something doesn’t feel right Stock up on movement magic tools as much as possible and move.”
“Yes, Your Majesty!”
Esteban hurried on his way again, lost in thought. The fact that the coachman was returning meant that Mabel had already reached the foot of the mountain near Lerial Pond. To go there in a short period of time, he must have used up all his magic tools. So, it was better to leave some magic tools behind. Esteban ran for a long time, tracking Mabel’s route, and saw familiar faces coming toward him in the evening.
‘Aidan Asherad Enrique Javier Larimar and Xavier and even the knights. But… What about Mabel?’
Mabel was nowhere to be seen. my heart has been healed
“Mabel!”
Esteban jumped off his horse and ran straight ahead. At Aidan’s gesture, everyone in the party stopped talking.
“Meet Your Majesty the Situation.”
Hearing Enrique’s greeting, Esteban turned his head and saw someone in his arms holding down a cape. It was Mabel. eyes closed.
“…Mabel?”
“…”
The atmosphere calmed down. Those who could not protect Mabel bit their lips and bowed their heads. Esteban noticed that it was not serious, but he smiled in spite of it.
“It must have been a long journey. How can you sleep like this without knowing the world?”
“Your Majesty the Situation.”
“Be careful not to break Mabel.”
“…I apologize for telling you, but Your Majesty has lost his mind.”
At Enrique’s cautious words, Esteban pursed his lips, then closed his mouth. Why doesn’t the ominous premonition go wrong? The chills and nervousness I heard for no reason seemed to have foreseen this situation. Esteban hugged the distraught Mabel. The daughter, who had a pale complexion, was breaking out in a cold sweat. In an instant, Mabel’s skin felt as if it were burning.
“How come…”
You have to be calm, but it was hard to hold on to your reason when it comes to children. Esteban’s question was unfinished, but Enrique calmly reported.
“Your Majesty decided that the cause of the plague was in the water of the Videl River, and headed for Lerial Pond. And there really was a stone contaminated with black energy, and His Majesty absorbed all the energy while purifying it.”
“Absorb energy…?”
Xavier, who had been watching, opened his mouth.
“Somehow, that energy seemed to be the cause of the contagious disease, Your Majesty.”
“So now Mabel really stopped the plague…”
“…”
“That energy alone with this little body.”
Esteban’s silent fury. It had a mouth, but no one could answer it. Esteban, who was holding Mabel upright, looked up and stared at someone.
“Aidan Asherad.”
“…”
“Be careful when you return to the imperial castle.”
Leading only a minimal escort, including Aidan, who could run out of control if he fell away from Mabel, Esteban consumed all the remaining mobile magic tools and returned to the imperial castle.
***
Dark Void. Two men in white clothes had a confidential conversation. Only the lips of the two smiling under the flickering candlelight were revealed.
“The fake is said to have been cursed by God.”
“Oh finally! This was foreseeable earlier. No, in fact, it would be correct to say that it was a little late.”
A man let out a sad sigh. Then the man across from him comforted him.
“it’s okay. Isn’t there a time for everything? Rather, I think now is the right time.”
“It makes me feel better when you say that.”
The men facing each other laughed happily ‘ha ha ha’.
“Everything is as God wills.”
“Yelium as God wills.”
Worship to the gods was most reverent.
***
The atmosphere of the castle was precarious, like walking on thin ice.
“still. Are you still there?”
“yes. There is no remission.”
“…the incompetent ones.”
Esteban entered Mabel’s bedroom, chewing and spitting. Mabel’s face was pale as she lay motionless on the bed. Two days have already passed since Mabel returned to the palace. Esteban quietly summoned the imperial court and the priest with divine power first, but there was no one who could wake Mabel.
“I will prescribe a medicine to lower the fever. That’s the only thing God can do…”
The competent imperial doctor couldn’t use his hands, and the same was true of the priest.
“The black energy crouching inside His Majesty’s body is preventing the absorption of divine power.”
“so?”
“There is no other way than to overcome it yourself.”
Esteban took Mabel’s hand and stayed by her side. There was a mountain of work to be done, but I couldn’t leave. After Mabel went to Lerial Pond, the spread of the plague really slowed down. It wasn’t that it didn’t spread at all, but it wasn’t at the same speed as before. Thanks to the purification of the river Bidel, which was the cause of the disease, the number of people who were cured increased considerably.
‘But Mabel doesn’t wake up.’
Feeling hopeless, Esteban held Mabel’s hand and looked at her pale face.
“Your fate is so harsh.”
If it had been someone else, he wouldn’t have cared whether people died from the plague or not, but Mabel was so kind. Enough to lose consciousness by trapping the source of the disease in my body.
“Shinsu. Hey, don’t you know anything?”
Esteban’s eyes landed on Shinsoo, who was in a miniaturized state, curled up on the side of Mabel’s bed. Shinsoo, who was staring at Esteban, leisurely jumped under the bed and became gigantic.
[You heard it too. There is no other way than to overcome it yourself.]
“Any other way?”
[No.]
Esteban’s lips hardened at the firm reply.
[How about waiting?]
“Wait.”
[It’s Mabel. Mabel will definitely wake up.]
“What is the basis?”
[No.]
This time, it was an absurdly firm answer.
[Isn’t that Mabel?]
“Yes, Mabel will surely overcome…”
As Shinsoo said, all Esteban could do was wait.
***
Corridor of Nature.
“Oscar.”
“Enrique.”
The two men looked at each other with a feeling of sympathy.
Even though I came to see Mabel, no one was allowed to visit. Even to Oscar. The nanny who blocked them was not at ease either.
“His Majesty the situation told me to die, Your Highness.”
“But nanny. Mabel…!”
I’ve already been rejected several times. Today was already the third day.
“He said it would be better to stay at the Donovan Mansion as it could be dangerous to Your Highness since it was the energy that spread the plague.”
Esteban’s judgment was cold. It was intended to protect another successor in case something goes wrong with Mabel.
“Aidan gets put on probation out of nowhere, and he can’t see Mabel…. Let me take care of me too, nanny.”
“majesty. Listen to your Majesty. You are not the one who will give orders in vain.”
The nanny’s face turned stern, which was rare. Oscar, who has a weak heart only for his nanny, had no choice but to turn around today. Just as he and Enrique were about to leave the castle, Gustav hurriedly rushed past them.
“What is going on?”
“Let’s go.”
The two young men ran back the way they came out. The place where Gustav ran frantically was in front of Mabel’s bedroom.
“your majesty!”
At Gustav’s cry, the locked bedroom door opened. Esteban frowned at the sudden uproar and came out.
“What’s the fuss?”
“The seed of God God is-.”
“God Seed?”
“It is said that the seed of a new god has appeared!”
At that cry, Oscar’s and Enrique’s eyes collided.
“A new… God Seed?”
. . . It is said that someone in Bargata Kingdom showed a miracle of healing. its name. Renesmee Sch Langard. It was a princess of a foreign country.
