Chapter 209. The fate of three handsome men, Ermano2022.02.01.
Elliott was dumbfounded by the unexpected appearance of magic tools.
“Video…storage magic tool?”
“huh. Everything you said is saved. Aren’t you curious? It makes the world so much more comfortable.”
Eliot’s face turned red at the teasing, sarcastic voice.
“How dare you do something like that…. How dare you, Renesmee!”
The smile disappeared from Mabel’s face, who was smiling brightly at the same time as his reaction.
“Do I still look like Renesmee?”
Elliott’s expression hardened at Mabel’s grim question.
“No way…”
“Right. I am Mabel, who plays Renesmee, who has taken over Mabel’s body.”
“what?”
“Your Majesty the Emperor of Ermano. this body.”
“…!”
Elliott finally understood how things were going.
‘I got hit.’
They were only fooled by the emperor’s acting. like a charm. My teeth trembled at Mabel’s meticulousness.
“To deceive all the people of the Yellow Castle to deceive me…”
“How hard it was.”
Mabel shook her head. It was easier when he went on strike saying he would rather be dethroned. Remembering what Renesmee would have done, she deliberately tested the patience of her servants by repeating what she had been thinking about during the government meeting. He called Oscar his brother, treated his father awkwardly, and even hurt the chef’s heart by leaving food behind.
‘I’m sorry, Chef!’
The hardest thing to bear was skipping snack time. If Aidan hadn’t secretly brought sweet treats to me every night, I might have gotten rid of Renesmee’s acting and everything.
‘Aidan. My lifesaver.’
As Mabel recalled the heartbreaking time, Elliot snorted in disbelief.
“To think that all those rumors were your acting. Then Renesmee… Where is Renesmee?”
The fact that the emperor pretended to be Renesmee suggested two possibilities. The first possibility is that Renesmee was eliminated because of a failed mission, and the second possibility is that Renesmee sided with the Emperor. Which one? Without rushing to the question, when Elliot grasped the emperor’s intentions, Mabel answered as if he had read his mind.
“Renesmee is recuperating at Abelardo.”
“no way! That box…”
Was Renesmee in the unknown large box that the God King brought with him when he returned to Abelardo? Thinking that it was a trap to catch only himself from the beginning, the back goal was pulled very hard. Elliott glared at Mabel with bloodshot eyes filled with anger that even that stupid Renesmee had betrayed him. First of all, if you destroy the evidence of that image storage magic tool, you can put out the urgent fire. While Mabel was careless, Elliot tried to destroy the magic tool Mabel was holding with divine power. But Mabel never let her guard down. visor-! Elliott’s attack hit Mabel’s barrier in an instant and flew away.
“Kuk!”
Elliott’s tongue stuck out in response to his tremendous reflexes.
“Elliot Elliott. He seems to have forgotten who Jim is.”
“The…seed of God.”
“that’s right. If you want to deal with Jim, bring Michael at least.”
Since I was still young, it was my mistake to look at it lightly. In the aftermath of the failed attack, Elliot controlled the twisted flow of divine power and again aimed for an opening.
“okay. Assume that the evidence is made public. However, if you reveal that, even Princess Renesmee won’t be safe.”
“I don’t know.”
Of course, I had no intention of revealing it like this. fabrication counterfeit fabrication.
‘The truth only needs a little bit. Like seasoning.’
Because you can make the rest. Do we need to stick to justice when dealing with bad guys? Elliot, who did not know what he was thinking, made a cunning threat.
“But Princess Renesmee is my cousin. Do you mind putting your cousin in danger?”
“Threats are so strange. Jim’s cousin will take care of it, so don’t worry about it and worry about your life.”
“life? …huck!”
Elliott turned his gaze to the cool sensation felt in the idyllic area.
‘Aidan!’
Aidan, who had apparently been asleep, stood up and held the dagger close to him as if to stop breathing at any moment.
“Breathe carefully. Unlike Jim, who is generous, his escort is impatient.”
Before Mabel’s words could finish, the blade came closer and closer. The wind that hit them without a gap cut their skin and blood dripped from them.
“We have secured the evidence that you are Devlin’s snitch, and the key is where to turn this over. Should I hand it over to Abelardo? Or Devlin?”
Elliott’s face, which had been white, soon became a dead light.
“No Devlin. Devlin is…!”
“good. To Devlin.”
“no!”
Elliot struggled violently, as if he had forgotten that the blade was in his throat. Aidan’s insensitive face was unmoved even when blood splattered here and there.
“Ouch blood!”
Elliott, who belatedly realized that he was bleeding, stiffened. Mabel took two steps towards him.
“I understand that Veron’s purpose is to absorb the life force of the essence and gain great power.”
With just a few steps ahead, Mabel stopped.
“Then why do you want Aidan?”
“I do not know.”
“Tell me what you know about the black energy. Do you know the number of elders? That person also uses black energy…”
“That’s something I don’t know about!”
“no? You know?”
Ssss-. The black energy that radiated from Aidan began to slowly eat away at Elliot’s body, starting with his feet. Where the black energy touched, pain as if flesh were rotting away.
“Ouch! Aaaagh! I do not know! Really!”
“If you are useless, you must die. If you want to live, prove your usefulness.”
Elliot held his breath for a moment and opened his eyes.
“So prove your usefulness this time.”
That’s what Eliot said to Renesmee. He met Mabel’s light blue eyes. A cold gaze, not tinged with sympathy, simply loathed him.
‘It might really kill me.’
I couldn’t die like this. It wasn’t that he bowed down to the emperor of Devlin to meet a dog’s death in a place like this. Eventually, the black smoke rose to the bottom of his neck, leaving only his face. Elliot cried out like a dying man holding on to only one hope.
“Lab!”
“what?”
“There might be something in the laboratory where the emperor always stays! I really don’t know anything else…!”
For a moment, Mabel and Aidan’s eyes met.
‘…Lab.’
It was the place that triggered Aidan’s decision to defect to Ermano. Because there he faced some of his secrets.
***
The whole story was like this. As soon as Renesmee recovered her body, I gave her the initiative again and brushed off the information I knew from her.
“Elliot Elliott is Emperor Devlin’s spy. I know that there has been an exchange for a very long time.”
The two of them colluded for mutual benefit through some kind of transaction, including a huge amount of money. Elliot’s main mission was to shake Ermano and Abelardo by creating a fake god seed using the black liquid Veron gave him.
“It must have been the intention to seize the real power of Abelardo by making me the seed of a god.”
‘I’m going to take control of the puck.’
“The Emperor of Devlin is a powerful wizard. So, the source of power is magic, but for stronger power, I absorbed the life force in the essence of the tree of creation. I heard that the body is gradually collapsing as energy of different properties collides within the body, and more vitality is needed to prevent it.”
The power he took to gain strong power was rather poison, and it meant that he had to pour as much life force as he could to maintain his body.
“That’s why I randomly collected and absorbed the essence, and when the supply was not smooth, I forcibly extracted and absorbed life force from people and demons.”
In the process, the sacrifices were the people without connections on the side of the road and the demons such as the Red Prover.
“Elliot helped with that.”
People who wear white clothes and use divine powers. The identity of the group that harmed the Red Provers was finally revealed. Indeed, they were the priests of Abelardo. However, he could no longer be called a priest of God. They were heretics who avoided the eyes of the God King and indulged in selfish desires.
‘Then, is Renesmee’s divine power stolen from someone else?’
Leaving behind my complicated thoughts, I started planning. After sending Renesmee, who was already weakened to the point of weakness, to Michael, she started acting. Eventually, after tricking Elliot into securing all the evidence, I called my helpers.
***
My helpers. If I had to list them, my dad and Oscar Casey and Franz and Aidan and Enrique… Lastly, there would be a sheep. I declared with them in front.
“I’m going to Devlin.”
The reaction was also as I expected.
“Going to an enemy country? Even if it’s a Mabel joke, don’t say that.”
“Yes Mabel. Devlin is too dangerous.”
“That’s right, lady. I’d rather go.”
My dad and Oscar and Casey stopped me. I sighed and calmly told them what had happened with Elliot. Of course, the story about Renesmee is subtly excluded.
“I’m going into Veron’s lab.”
“But Your Majesty. It could be a trap.”
Franz quietly expressed his opinion. This added one more opponent.
[I agree, Mabel.]
Yang raised her feet and shouted, but since she hadn’t become gigantic, others would have heard nothing but chatter. Despite their opposition, my will was firm.
“No matter how you think about it, there is no better way than this. Even if someone is planted as an infiltrator, it is most efficient for me to act directly.”
No one could argue against that statement. As I said, there is no way to gather information as efficiently as using my abilities. My plan was simple. First of all, enter the Devlin Empire in disguise and observe the dynamics, collecting information using animals. Then assimilate into a rat or bird, sneak into Veron’s lab and find the data. Once they get the data they want, they sneak out.
“All-out war will be avoided. I’m only coming to see Veron’s lab, so don’t worry too much.”
Then Dad got angry.
“How can you not be worried! …It wouldn’t be bad to take this opportunity to hit Devlin.”
“No Dad.”
Maybe war was the most comfortable way. However, there were too many deaths along the way. I didn’t wish for that.
“…I want to avoid war as much as possible.”
“There are situations that are unavoidable, Mabel. That is the responsibility of the monarch.”
I could understand what Dad said. But I couldn’t accept it.
“If that is the responsibility of the monarch, I don’t want to take that responsibility. If I get pointed at as a tyrant for being selfish, I will gladly bear the responsibility.”
I stared straight at my dad. I was reflected in the eyes of the same color as mine, with a determined face. War was a last resort. A means of defense to protect the empire when Ermano was hit first in Devlin. After a while, Dad buried his face in one hand and muttered with a sigh.
“You’re weak, Mabel. This dad must be doing this knowing that he can’t disagree with you until the end.”
“Emperor. Mabel’s plan is too risky. You step into Veron’s realm with your own feet.”
“Then you, Oscar, try to stop Mabel. If I can break that belief.”
“That’s…”
Oscar looked at me and pursed his lips, then closed his mouth. All of a sudden, I felt like I had become a very stubborn person.
“Mabel. My father will not accompany you either.”
“No Dad. Dad will stay and protect the empire.”
“Mabel…”
“Dad has to hide the fact that I am not in the imperial castle as much as possible. Only Dad can do that.”
“…”
Dad’s expression sank grimly. However, Emperor Hwang Hwang and the emperor could not empty the imperial castle at the same time. Dad knew that too, so he couldn’t be more stubborn.
“Oscar. Mabel, please.”
“…yes.”
As if Oscar didn’t like it, he hesitated and replied. And at that time, Enrique, who had been listening to the story all along, opened his mouth.
“I will go too. Please let me follow Your Majesty.”
“Enrique. The opponent is Veron.”
“So I will accompany you.”
After maintaining a distance for a while, what the hell is the change of heart? Enrique never averted my eyes.
“If Your Majesty hadn’t saved it, my life would have been meaningless. So…”
“Okay.”
Enrique smiled brightly at my agreement. No one asked Aidan, but it was taken for granted that they would accompany Aidan. I took the yellium out of my bosom and placed it in my father’s hand.
“I’ll leave the Yelium to Dad.”
The yelliums are a pair, so if you have one yellium, you know where the other yellium is. So I couldn’t leave for Devlin with possession. Dad, who was staring at Yelium with a complicated expression, hugged me tightly.
“You must come safely. Do you understand?”
“Sure, Dad.”
“My daughter. If even a single hair is damaged, I will capture and imprison all of those guys who accompanied me.”
“…what about Oscar?”
“Oscar too.”
I looked up and saw my father’s face, wondering if it was a joke, but it was absolutely sincere. I couldn’t help but laugh awkwardly.
‘I can never get hurt.’
The fate of the three handsome men of Ermano was at the tip of my hair.
