Chapter 181. It’s okay to touch your Majesty2021.10.26.
It’s a late noon when chirps are chirping loudly outside. I had tea time alone in the sunny drawing room. It was yesterday that I finally switched from eating only thin soup to regular food, and today I was able to eat the chef’s special strawberry tart.
[You bastard, that’s my earthworm!]
[The bird that ate first is the owner.]
[Come here. Break the beak.]
[I don’t like it!]
The tweeters were making a loud noise and flew away. The chirping of birds, which would sound beautiful to someone, sounded like a dirty argument to me.
‘Today, I don’t hate hearing those bully birds argue.’
Humming a song, I opened and flipped through the newspapers Casey had found. Newspapers published by newspapers from around the world were all telling one story. The Fall of the Seed of the New God. Even with her appearance, the plague did not disappear, and rather, it was said that it was staining the kingdom of Bargata with disease. The criticism of the newspapers of the Kingdom of Heilin and the Kingdom of Persia, neighboring countries of the Kingdom of Bargata, was particularly strong.
‘They must be afraid that the disease will spread to their own country.’
On the other hand, the epidemic in the Ermano Empire had lost momentum to some extent and had entered a stable phase without further spread. This is because the people followed the quarantine rules to keep clean and avoid human contact. Relief teams were dispatched to the mountains where Hwangmyeong could not reach, and they worked hard to treat the disease. If you keep going like this, sooner or later you will be able to completely overcome the disease. Sooner or later, if ‘it’ is released on the market, it will end soon. I popped the pre-cut tart into my mouth and happily savored the taste.
“Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh,
what a terrible thing to be eaten by the dark energy and almost unable to open his eyes. But in the end, things were going smoothly.
‘This is called blowing your nose without touching your hands.’
But it was surprising. I expected a week, but I didn’t expect it to be only three days. I knew there would be a riot, but I didn’t know it would be this fast. Naturally, someone’s face came to mind.
“Renesmee.”
The tweet I posted to Renesmee after my birthday banquet four years ago reported it. Renesmee was talking to a man while crying. Even after that, he listened to the news through Dylan and kept a close eye on Renesmee’s activities. [Ah, since she returned to Langard, for some reason, she seems more active than before. They do a lot of social activities and go to the shrine inside the imperial castle every day to pray. Isn’t it strange that he suddenly became faithful?] I thought it was strange when I received Dylan’s letter, but looking at Renesmee’s recent actions, my doubts deepened.
‘What are you thinking, Renesmee?’
I had never heard of Renesmee having divine powers. If there was divine energy, there was no way I wouldn’t notice when Renesmee came to the Ermano Empire as an envoy.
‘Because I’m particularly sensitive to divine power.’
Renesmee’s Stranger and the Seed of God. Yesterday, an unofficial letter arrived from God King Michael. It was said that Abelardo would call Renesmee as a candidate for the Seed of God at the request of five of the 12 elders. P.S. It was written in big letters that he still thinks that the seed of God is me. Seed of God Candidate
“So am I going to be a candidate too?”
Actually, it was a bit odd. When I said that it was the seed of God and I didn’t like it, I forcibly gave him the name and even kidnapped him, and when a new candidate appeared, I became a candidate too. I was told to save the world, so I worked hard to save it in all directions, and then I was treated like this. I’m sad I’m sad
‘Actually, I’m not sad at all.’
To be honest, I also felt like I had one less annoying thing to do. For this incident alone, all the arrows of criticism that had been pointed at me had gone back to Renesmee. That was the mission of the one with the grandiose name of ‘God’s Seed’. As much as it is the hope of the people, it is a fate that must bear the misfortune together. That is to say, I do not want to become the seed of God. From my point of view, I was rather grateful that he would take on the troublesome task for me. Rather, I didn’t feel a sense of betrayal.
“Could Renesmee really be the seed of God?”
I started flipping through newspapers from other countries.
[and chirp. Did you really hit my beak?!]
[Goo goo. Why are you so mean?]
[It’s so bad. It hurts…]
It was a peaceful midday with birds chirping outside the window.
***
Langard’s soldiers and Abelardo’s paladins stood guard around the barracks where Renesmee was staying. It was to protect Renesmee from the mob.
“Why did this happen? why.”
Renesmee panicked.
‘why? you lived because of me You got better because I healed you… otherwise you’d all be dead!’
At one time, he worshiped with gratitude as if he had met a god, and then suddenly blamed Renesmee as if the disease had spread because of her. I healed day and night. So it was very hard. I had a hard time sleeping in a shabby barracks that wasn’t even a proper mansion… The meals were terrible.
“Everyone is too much. How could this be…?”
It was when Renesmee was in shock and struggling. The curtains in the barracks lifted and someone appeared.
“It’s because you’re so weak. Don’t collapse easily because of this, Your Highness.”
“Elliot Elliot!”
Renesmee ran quickly and clung to the man’s arm. The one who appeared was Eliot, one of the 12 Elders of the Holy Kingdom Abelardo.
“I healed people as the elder told me to do, but suddenly a riot broke out. Maybe I’m good now?”
“It’s no big deal, Your Highness. A riot will soon subside.”
“But I am afraid. people hate me Ugh…”
Renesmee burst into tears. It was the first time I was born. It is to face people who openly show hostility. On my way back from a walk this morning, a group of people I ran into shouted at Renesmee.
“What is the seed of God!”
“Without being able to bring the dead back to life!!”
“Go away to your country!”
Some even threw stones. Fortunately, Langard’s soldiers stood in the way and were not hit, but their bloodied eyes met them. Elder Elliot smiled kindly and stroked Renesmee’s hair.
“This is what it is like to be a human being. They always covet and envy what they don’t have. They felt inferior because they were not healed by Your Highness.”
“Inferiority…”
“Yes. It’s an inferiority feeling for not being chosen by Your Highness.”
“I really tried. You can’t heal everyone. I healed as hard as I could…”
Renesmee spoke gibberish with tears streaming down her face. Patting her hair, Elder Elliot briefly checked the time.
“This is not the time. Hurry up and get ready.”
“Are you ready…?”
“There was a call from the God King. We will be heading to Abelardo right now.”
“God King? Abelard too…?”
“Only when you receive His Holiness’s recognition can you become the seed of God. So make no mistake. Did you know?”
The grown-up Eliot kindly pulled Renesmee away. She hesitated and stood still.
“But there are many people out there who need to be healed-”
“That’s not what’s urgent right now. Well, things went a little wrong, but I made a splendid debut anyway, so now it’s time to get to the point.”
“yes? But…”
“I’m in a hurry.”
Can I do this? Even now, outside the barracks, there were a lot of people who came to be healed by him. At least the next person to be healed didn’t resent Renesmee. If you do, you won’t be able to heal. At least those who were healed by Renesmee didn’t curse at her.
“I don’t want to be hated, Elder.”
“…what’s the use of liking them? Wasn’t there someone else Your Highness wanted to be loved by?”
At that moment, the first thing that came to Renesmee’s mind was. The person who shone brightly.
“It is, however.”
“There is no time. We must hurry.”
Renesmee could no longer protest and was led out of the barracks by Elder Elliot’s hand. Then, the eyes of the people in the endless line all turned to Renesmee. His eyes were burdened with a mixture of wonder and hope.
‘okay. I’ve done enough. Didn’t you save a lot of people?’
Hundreds of people have been saved. It really wasn’t normal. She turned her head away from the following gaze.
‘It was difficult for me too…’
Renesmee climbed into the carriage. When the door of the carriage was closed, the cries of the people were no longer heard.
***
A day after that, I immediately took part in state affairs. The meeting, which had been attended for a long time, became sluggishly long for some reason. Everyone said something that shouldn’t have been said, so it ended two hours later than planned.
‘Like people who don’t want the meeting to end.’
After the regular meeting, I had a tea time with Emily.
“Oh, it’s hard…. No matter how long I want to stay with His Majesty, isn’t the council aristocrats talking too much?”
During the meeting, Emily, who was invariably the gentle Duke of Javier, spread out on the sofa as soon as she came to the private table. Then, seeing Enrique standing next to me as an escort, he started nagging me.
“This is all because of my incompetent older brother. They said it was an escort, but isn’t it a complete scarecrow? We should have taken good care of our precious Majesty!”
“It’s true, but it’s true… Emily, why do I feel bad when I hear it from you?”
“what? Are you in a bad mood?”
Enrique laughed awkwardly at Emily’s sad eyes and shook his head.
“…no.”
It was a common conversation between siblings. The Emperor’s health is a top secret, except for my precious friend and older sister, Emily. When Emily heard that I was in fact knocked out, she started to stir-fry Enrique.
“What the hell are you going to use those muscles for?”
“for a moment. Emily. Do you want to touch me again?”
“Ah, what are you going to do after rotting? Look at these biceps.”
“Emily…!”
Enrique blushed and began to fidget. It was a time when I was about to come out to help because I felt like crying.
“Mabel. touch you too It’s completely different.”
“uh? I…?!”
I was taken aback by the sudden proposal, and my eyes met Enrique’s for a moment. Enrique avoided my gaze with a flushed face.
“If it’s Your Majesty… it’s okay to touch it.”
“Huh?!”
It was at that time that I was overcome with the feeling that I had become an incredibly unscrupulous person for a moment. bang! The door burst open and Oscar stormed in.
“Mabel! Fire Enrique!”
“Oh Oscar?”
“You naughty child. How dare you put your body in the hands of our precious Mabel?”
The drawing room quickly became a mess. In the meantime, I met eyes with Aidan, who was escorting me outside the door. His expressionless face, as usual, somehow seemed to be in a bad mood.
***
When I heard the news that Casey had entered the palace, I ran to the audience room in a month. And without hesitation, I handed him the main topic of the day.
“ruler. Take it, Casey.”
“Eh. What is this?”
“remedy.”
“…?!”
Casey looked at the bottle in her hand with shocked eyes.
“Where did this come from? No, was there a cure in the first place?”
“I traded it for not using my iron fist on the black mass.”
“I don’t know what you are talking about.”
Seeing Casey frowning, I shook my head with a deliberately serious face.
“no. Not even Casey can tell you in detail. It’s a secret between the black lump and me.”
“I’m not even curious…”
Casey sighed and took a step away from me. Then he took a closer look at the vial of the black liquid that was slicking around.
“The source is my lady, so I’m sure, but what are you going to do with this?”
I replied with a refreshing smile.
“I will sell it.”
“yes? Then the negative public opinion will boil again? Dondok is up and is trying to sell people’s lives as hostages, or something like that.”
“That’s why marketing is so important. In the Ermano Empire, the disease has subsided as they have already bought in large quantities at high prices for the suffering people. But what about other countries? The people are suffering, will they not buy? something like this.”
Casey, who had been listening silently, nodded in admiration.
“Aye. She is also our girl. It’s an ulterior motive to turn it into a national level and benefit! What is this?”
Casey yelled at Aidan. It was because of Aidan’s sudden attack.
“Be careful what you say, Casey.”
“why!!!”
“Don’t call us us.”
“Huh.”
Casey, who had been looking at Aidan in amazement, shook his head and lamented.
“It’s sad.”
I comforted Casey, who had drooping shoulders.
“Cheer up, Casey.”
“Even if the cause of sorrow comforts you, it doesn’t comfort you at all.”
“I’ll give you a vacation.”
“Waaaaaa!”
“Ten minutes.”
“…”
Casey cursed at me with her eyes.
“I’ll go right into the mission after the vacation. I’ll be sending a lot of cures to the top soon, so sell them hard. Are you sure you can sell?”
“sure. Who am I? Aren’t you the same Casey who was known as a cheater in the old days? I’ll make a lot of money anyway!”
“That’s true… but this one is for import purposes.”
“Where are you going to use it?”
I answered in a rather serious tone.
“Pandemic Disaster Relief Donations.”
“Huh… Why are you so nice to us or someone else’s girl? Even if it was, no one would know.”
“It’s nice.”
I laughed bitterly. I had the ability to heal people, but I couldn’t heal people myself because I was the emperor of an empire. Maybe I could have saved someone more. It’s mild, but I just wanted to ease the guilt like this. cowardly. After falling into depression for a moment, I quickly smiled brightly and clapped my hands.
“Let’s get to work!”
I didn’t have time to be depressed because I was busy. I had to figure out what was going on in the temple after I had to defeat this damn plague. According to Michael, there seems to be a traitor within Abelardo. then.
‘Destroy Abelardo with Devlin.’
If anyone gets in my way, I will break it. I feel sorry for Michael.
