Chapter 218. Love at first sight2022.03.05.
Devlin’s envoy visited the Langard Empire as usual today. Emperor Langard was uncomfortable with Devlin’s daily behavior without hiding it, but he couldn’t express it. Crown Prince Helias understood the feelings of the uncomfortable father and carefully asked.
“What are you going to do now, Your Majesty the Father?”
“I have no intention of granting their request.”
What Devlin requested was reinforcements and non-interference in foreign aggression. What they gave in return was a large portion of the territory they had occupied after extensive conquest. What an arrogant assumption to think that I can get the continent under my control in the first place. The Emperor of Langard did not trust the Emperor Devlin.
“He is a man who would break an agreement lightly. If the small countries are occupied, it will surely be Langard after that.”
I have no intention of being used by Devlin. However, it was impossible to waste time pretending to be in agony.
“But there is a limit to ignoring Devlin’s request as it is. The situation is not good that both the emperor of the Ermano Empire and the Emperor Hwang Sang-je, who must keep Devlin in check, have lost their minds.”
“Isn’t there Prince Oscar?”
“You mean the guy who gave up the succession to the throne and became the heir to his mother’s family early on? Arthur, he is not the right person to become emperor.”
Regarding the situation in other countries, the emperor made a cool judgment. At first glance, it might seem that it would be easy to become an emperor since he had been trained as an heir since he was young, but the emperor of Langard did not think so. He is just a puppet with no determination or power to overcome the situation of Ermano, which is getting worse day by day. It was to the point where he thought it would be better for Ermano’s elder, the Marquis of Gardenia, to become the emperor. At that moment, amid the somber atmosphere, the sound of bustling footsteps could be heard outside the audience room door. smart-.
“Listen.”
With the emperor’s permission, the informant came in with a heavy breath.
“Meet Your Majesty the Emperor.”
“okay. What happened?”
“It is said that the sun of Ermano has awakened!”
At that moment, the eyes of the emperor and the prince met. After thinking for a moment, the emperor asked again.
“What happened to the Situation System?”
“yes. They say they woke up on the same day.”
“Yeah, it’s rather fortunate…”
Because you don’t have to deal with Devlin, who constantly criticizes you. It was a welcome thing to have a means of containment. The Emperor of Langard looked back at the crown prince after thinking about it. After January 1, the emperor’s coming-of-age ceremony was completely canceled, but the emperor’s birthday was approaching.
“The birthday banquet for Emperor Ermano will be held soon. Helias Geon Langard. you go.”
“I… you mean?”
“okay. Even Emperor Ermano must know that Devlin’s envoys visit his country. We can use that as bait to negotiate favorable terms with Ermano.”
I had already been beaten by the emperor of Ermano once. For a long time, to the little emperor.
‘That’s how I had no choice but to give up the Cartoem region.’
Even after that incident, it was talked about by the rich people and made the Langard family a laughing stock. Such an emperor has grown up and reached the age of majority. The Emperor of Langard did not take her lightly.
“Please refrain from doing anything disrespectful. Wouldn’t that be an easy opponent?”
“I will keep this in mind, Your Majesty the Father.”
The emperor stared at the heir, who was still not quite up to his standards, but was still quite smart.
“I heard that the princess of my home country was in Ermano, so it went well. Could that also be an excuse?”
Was it Renesmee? Remembering the blurry face of his daughter, who couldn’t even remember which princess she was, the emperor gave the order.
***
Nonsense.
“My me… is an adult?”
I woke up and became an adult. I still couldn’t figure out the situation, so I checked the mirror in a daze. As the months went by, my hair seemed to grow a little longer.
‘A little bit… have I matured?’
Actually, it’s been a while, but it felt like I woke up from a deep sleep, so I couldn’t tell what had changed.
‘I’m a little nervous because I’m second to being an adult.’
So, is it possible to try to escape by drinking alcohol and staying out overnight? Perhaps reading my thoughts, my father quietly called my name, disapprovingly.
“Mabel?”
“Haha.”
I smiled shyly and saw four men waiting in front of me sitting on the bed. For some reason, they just stared at me in disbelief since I woke up. At the same time that the silence was unwelcome, I realized that they had worried me so much that I couldn’t easily accept my awakening.
“Why are you all looking at me like that?”
“I can’t believe it at all. To be able to see your little majesty who has opened his eyes…”
Lisandro replied in an unusually subdued voice. Even so, the title of ‘Your Majesty’ was still the same.
“You are no longer a kid.”
“Your Majesty will forever be your little Majesty. Until I die.”
After we exchanged a few words, Lisandro’s eyes reddened as if he realized that I had just woken up.
“Do you know how much I… worried?!”
“Yes.”
“Your Majesty knows nothing!”
I suddenly became annoyed when I saw Lisandro scolding me as if he was complaining.
“Yes, yes.”
“Your Majesty… Your Majesty!”
Ignoring Lisandro’s grumbling, she got out of bed and approached Oscar.
“Come back Oscar. It’s a bit late, but…”
“You’re still awake.”
Oscar reached out and hugged me gently.
“…it’s okay because I woke up.”
What would I have been like if it had been Oscar who had fallen down and not me, and hadn’t woken up for several months? I knew how cruel waiting without a promise was. Because there was a young day when I stood in the snow endlessly, knowing that I would never come back. I looked at Enrique next, holding me still until Oscar let me go. Enrique had been given a dangerous mission to escape by pretending to be me.
“Enrique. Are there any injuries?”
“yes. All right. No one was hurt.”
“Because you’re competent too.”
Under my brief congratulations, Enrique smiled brightly as if he was happy. The next thing I saw was Aidan.
‘It’s obvious if you don’t look. Foolishly, he must have stood guard in front of the bedroom every day.’
I was the one who knew Aidan better than anyone else.
“I’m sorry, Aidan.”
“Why are you apologizing?”
“…I don’t remember.”
I stared at Aidan with a complicated state of mind. Aidan just looked at me. The biggest problem was that the memory right before the soul was broken was gone.
‘It was definitely a record related to Aidan.’
I read the record and was even shocked by the enormous content. But unfortunately, the contents did not come to mind.
“It’s not worth taking the risk and going all the way to Devlin.”
I even went so far as to hide behind enemy lines to read one of the records.
[Memories were lost because the soul was broken.]
I was somewhat convinced by Yang’s explanation, but I still couldn’t hide my dejection.
“I’ll think about it later. Don’t be too hasty, Mabel.”
It was my father who comforted me when I was heartbroken. Dad’s kind hand caressed my hair. I gained a little courage from the gaze filled with undeniable love. I was determined to tell them my secret, which only my father and I knew.
“Actually I am.”
After taking a few deep breaths, I stared straight at them.
“I have memories of my previous life.”
My only secret that I kept to myself until now. That’s how the story of ‘Yun Winter’ began.
***
I mentioned the unfortunate life very briefly and moved on.
‘Because it’s already in the past.’
Instead, Mabel mainly told stories about the world of her previous life.
“It is a different world from this world.”
A world where science and medicine developed instead of magic and divine power. Their expressions strangely changed as they listened to the explanation about the world of their previous lives. Only Esteban, who saw and felt the scenery with his whole body, listened calmly. Soon after, Oscar, who had been thinking deeply, carefully let go of his rhyme.
“Then maybe that secret message is…”
“That’s right. It’s a text I wrote in my previous life. I wrote it with the pronunciation of Ermano.”
Oscar, who admired the system of letters, silently agreed to the fact that they were original letters.
“Somehow, it was an unusual text message. Then, what about Mabel’s Hamburger?”
“That’s the food I ate in my previous life.”
Oscar’s questions continued endlessly.
“Can I have a camera?”
“…That’s right. In my previous life…”
“What about the refrigerator?”
“That’s also a previous life…”
“A theme park?”
“Past life…”
The answers to all the questions eventually came down to a previous life. At the same time as the confession of the previous life, Mabel’s money was robbed.
“Somehow, I thought that the little majesty was incongruously clever, smart, mature, and wise. That’s because you’ve had memories of your previous life since you were little.”
Lisandro smiled happily at the thought of the brilliant baby Mabel.
“No wait. Then Oscar might not be your brother…?”
Enrique and Oscar visibly flinched at Lisandro’s keen question. At the same time, even Esteban stopped moving.
“It is. You said you were an adult in your previous life and you are an adult now, so you must be at least thirty.”
Lisandro, unable to perceive the awkward atmosphere at all, started talking excitedly to herself.
“Then Oscar will be Your Majesty’s younger brother. The same goes for Prince Javier. Aidan is… well, an exception.”
Only Aidan, whose actual age cannot be determined, was an exception. Lisandro laughed, looking at Esteban next.
“oh. Strictly speaking, the age difference between His Majesty and Shang is not so-”
“shut up.”
“Oooh!”
Esteban’s large hand closed Lisandro’s mouth. Lisandro struggled in agony as her hands were so large that she could not breathe. Oscar desperately clung to Mabel.
“The previous life is invalid! That’s not hitting!”
“Yes.”
“right? Am I your brother, Mabel?”
It was a cry that could not be seen without the tears of a boy who did not want to call Mabel his sister. Enrique, who had been silent, spat out a word with difficulty as if he had made a firm decision.
“I can call you sister, if Your Majesty wishes.”
Due to the sudden commotion surrounding Mabel’s age, the touching reunion place quickly became a mess. The winner was Aidan. . . . ‘The age of the previous life is invalid.’ The turmoil subsided only after an unknown agreement was reached. After that, it was an urgent discussion about the situation on the continent.
“We have obtained information that Veron is sending an envoy to the Langard Empire to request reinforcements.”
At Lisandro’s report, Mabel nodded meaningfully.
“Langardra. I know a little bit about that.”
Directly dealing with Devlin without proper preparation came with a lot of risks. Absorbing the power of the essence, Veron was stronger than expected, so Ermano’s soldiers were unable to win a clear victory. So, first of all, it was necessary to let people know about their well-being both at home and abroad. As if declaring war on Veron that he had awakened.
‘Then let’s relax lightly.’
Unfortunately, Mabel’s warm-up opponent was Langard.
***
Langard’s delegation set foot on the land of Ermano. The number of troops escorting the prince in all directions was considerable. As if boasting of its health, the throne room of Ermano was splendidly decorated with gold and jewels.
‘He’s using an obvious number.’
The accumulated wealth of the Langard Empire was too great to be overpowered to this extent. Thinking it was a cute trick, Helyas approached and stood in the middle of the throne room. The figure of the emperor sitting on the throne, which seemed small, came into my eyes more and more closely. Even though he has become an adult, he still has a youthful face. Curly pink hair. Gorgeous clothing and nobility that is not buried in it. A red sash that suits you perfectly. Finally, light blue eyes looking down without hesitation. Soon after, the lovely emperor like a doll smiled leisurely and said hello.
“Nice to meet you, prince. I am the emperor of Ermano.”
Helias Geon Langard, Crown Prince of the Langard Empire.
“…!”
Fall in love at first sight with the emperor of the Ermano Empire.
