Chapter 231. The reason God called me
2022.04.19.
Aidan’s wound does not heal.
“How did this happen?”
Of course, it was not a serious wound as it was only a slight cut at the tip of the knife. But that wasn’t the problem.
Immortality, one of Aidan’s attributes. Aidan said he couldn’t die because any wounds healed quickly.
He even showed me the scene himself.
“It doesn’t hurt, Aidan.”
“it’s okay.”
“It’s okay again. It’s natural to feel pain when you’re hurt.”
Aidan looked at his wounds as if it were new. I grabbed his hand and gave him strength.
‘This is my first time healing Aidan.’
He healed the back of his hand with divine power, and only then did the wound heal.
“thank god.”
I sighed inwardly. It meant that I could heal Aidan later, even if he suffered a major wound that would not heal.
***
Upon returning to the dorm, Aidan first checked to see if there were any eyes.
‘No.’
There was a possibility that Mabel was watching with fairy tale power, so I couldn’t overlook even the eyes of a small animal. Fortunately, not a single mouse strayed.
Aidan pulled out his dagger and cut his arm long. I felt a burning pain, but it was only a fleeting moment.
Aidan looked down at his arm. Although the cut was quite deep, the wound was nowhere to be found. It will heal in an instant.
Aidan wiped the blood with a towel hanging from his chair and sat down on the bed.
He formulated a hypothesis.
‘If you get hurt by Mabel, it doesn’t seem to heal.’
Is it because Mabel is a ‘seed of God’?
There were always many moments where Mabel was an exception. Being by Mabel’s side allowed him to maintain his reason, and only Mabel could calm his rampage.
This case is just an extension of that exception.
He thought it was no big deal since Mabel wouldn’t hurt him anyway.
***
The story with all the countries on the continent ended with the Persia Kingdom, who knelt down and asked for an agreement.
Even Helias, who was trying to sit down like a nylon patient, was dragged by the envoys and returned to Langard, and peace came to the roaring imperial castle.
No, it seemed to come.
“The Devlin messenger has arrived!”
…If it hadn’t been for the report from the chief of the Hwangseong Gate Guard.
The atmosphere of us, who had gathered together to celebrate the end of work and had a meal together, quickly became bitter.
Notify that you will meet after you have already set foot in the capital of another country without prior approval.
It was like an uninvited guest coming into the house and announcing a visit.
“Is it a declaration of war?”
In particular, his father’s expression was bloody enough to punish someone at any moment.
It seemed that he would die before he could even talk about Devlin’s lion.
“Dad ah-.”
“town!”
I took a paprika and put it in my dad’s mouth. Dad chewed the paprika without knowing why.
It was an action meant to calm down, but Oscar, who was sitting next to me, looked at me with both eyes shining brightly.
“Mabel I. I am?”
“Oh Oscar too. ah-.”
When I handed over a mushy onion, Oscar happily accepted and ate it.
Thanks to that, the serious atmosphere was somewhat relieved, but the shame was all on me.
“Eat eat. Eat at once.”
I chewed on the asparagus that came out as a garnish while encouraging the people who were paused. As if chewing and eating Baron.
I said physical strength is national strength.
To deal with Devlin, I had to fill my stomach first.
‘I don’t eat it because it’s delicious. Not to mention cancer.’
So I ate too much today.
***
It has only been about a week since Renesmee’s body attacked Ermano.
Sudden action in Devlin, where you sent a letter of protest but no response?
“hmm.”
Doesn’t it smell pretty bad?
Before meeting the self-proclaimed lion of Devlin, my father tried to thoroughly escort me, perhaps because he was anxious.
“It would be better to call all the soldiers in the capital and tell them to escort them.”
“Yes Mabel. Anyway, there’s nothing wrong with being careful.”
To think that he would use the whole army of the capital as my escort. It’s a ridiculous statement, but even Oscar helped.
I sighed and disagreed with them.
“Do as usual. As usual. If you are armed like that as an escort, from Veron’s point of view, ‘He must have been scared.’ Aren’t you excited?”
“Who’s the coward!”
An angry Oscar shouted. However, he didn’t insist on deploying more escorts, as if he agreed with my words in his heart.
In the end, according to my opinion, I decided to place an escort as usual.
But it was an army that could never be ignored.
With Lisandro, a swordsman who has already reached the peak of his career, one person’s strength equals the strength of a nation.
Oscar and Enrique were also attracting attention as the youngest divinity, and Aidan was originally strong.
Lastly, even my dad who proudly stands by my side.
‘Because it’s really reassuring.’
Of course, I trusted my barrier the most in terms of defense.
After my permission was granted, Devlin’s messenger, who had been waiting outside the imperial castle, stepped into the throne room.
“Meet the Emperor of Ermano.”
The man in glasses looked so weak that he could barely hold a pen, let alone black.
“His Majesty the Emperor has ordered to tell the Emperor of Ermano.”
I asked Aidan, who was waiting behind me, insinuatingly.
“Aidan. Do you know who that person is?”
“I am Veron Arthur Devlica’s confidant and aide.”
“What is your name?”
“I don’t know the name. Because it has been called the throne all along.”
At those words, Gustaf looked at Veron’s aide with moist eyes as if he felt pity.
“Oh my gosh…”
It seemed that the life of the author whose name was not even called was regrettable.
Veron’s aide was quietly bowing his head, waiting for my answer. I whispered to Aidan again.
“Since you’re from Devlin, are you a wizard?”
“no.”
“Then what kind of sword do you use?”
“He is mainly the one who handles Veron’s miscellaneous tasks. As far as I know, his physical ability is mediocre.”
Aidan’s words must have been true.
However, it bothered me that Veron sent an ordinary person without the power to defend himself.
‘There must be a place to believe.’
Now that the rough understanding of the opponent was over, it was time to get to the main point.
“Tell me what your emperor told me to tell you.”
“First of all, he said congratulations on the birthday of Emperor Ermano.”
“hmm.”
It meant that dozens of people had already seen and heard of it, but they were evading the fact that they ruined my birthday banquet.
It didn’t matter because I had no expectations in the first place.
“Tell your emperor that the birthday present was well received. Thanks to that, it became a lively banquet.”
However, I was not the one who would stay still as Veron intended.
Once again, it was officially nailed that it was Veron who raided Ermano’s hall.
Veron’s aide continued without denial or affirmation.
“Also, there are things the emperor told me to hand over.”
“What kind of object is it?”
“He said you would know if I said ‘thieving rat’s favorite’.”
“…!”
A favorite of thieving rats.
I knew right away what it was.
It was the book in the lab. Taking the risk to read the contents, he even infiltrated Veron’s laboratory by borrowing the body of a squeaker.
‘Are you willing to give it up? What do you mean?’
The aide opened his mouth before he could even think deeply to understand Veron’s intentions.
“There are only conditions.”
“condition?”
“yes. Your Majesty told me that there is something I would like to share with the emperor of Ermano, so if you decide to stop by Devlin through Abelardo’s holy relic. He also added that since it is a secret story, it is better to avoid an escort.”
trap.
It was the first thought that came to my mind.
Perhaps the same was true for everyone else, each of them got angry and barely kept their mouths shut.
“Mabel. You’re not going to accept those crazy terms, are you?”
“If so, you may want to reconsider.”
Oscar and Enrique took turns holding me back. I didn’t answer them and looked down at Veron’s aide.
“How can Jim believe what you say? In fact, if you don’t have that item, that’s enough.”
“I brought it to Ermano, so you can worry about it.”
I closed my eyes and sighed lightly.
I felt restlessness around me.
“First of all, it would be better to relieve the travel poison accumulated from coming all the way to Ermano. We’ll talk again tomorrow.”
“It is.”
At my postponement of decision, Veron’s aide smiled and nodded gently.
Without the slightest resistance, he left the audience room guided by the attendant.
Dad asked, holding my hand tightly.
“What are you going to do, Mabel?”
“huh? what?”
As I tilted my head at the unknown question, Gustaf put on a serious expression.
“Are you going to accept his request as well?”
“no?”
“Yes?”
“ok?”
Not only the people who asked the question, but also I, who was asked, became full of doubts.
Gustav asked again.
“Then what are you planning to do?”
“I have to hit you and take it away.”
Dad’s wonderful early education shined today. Dad nodded his head happily, saying, “It’s not like cancer.”
Oscar asked with a face that still didn’t make sense.
“Then why did you worry about hearing what Veron’s aide said earlier?”
“Planning how to rob.”
“ah….”
***
At midnight, when even the stars were asleep, a shadow melted into the darkness permeated the royal palace.
Devlin’s aide, who had unpacked his luggage at the villa, took a walk around the villa’s backyard to see the imperial castle of Ermano, the first time he had been there.
“The night sky is wobbling.”
There were a lot of dark clouds, and the moonlight disappeared. It was the moment when I turned to the entrance of the palace after looking at the moon that only occasionally showed my face.
“Ugh?”
The first time I tripped on a vine that came out of nowhere and fell.
“…Ouch!”
Second, my body was crushed by a huge and heavy thing that suddenly attacked me.
“Where is ‘that thing’?”
The third sharp spear point was aimed menacingly at the face.
The suppression was instantaneous.
Veron’s aide gave away the emperor’s goods without showing any resistance.
Mabel, the predator of the night, smiled and justified herself.
‘Still, I didn’t hit him.’
I lost it though.
Mabel humanely escorted him to the dungeon.
***
What I robbed from Veron’s aide was not the original book I had seen.
‘I think I copied a part of it.’
A relatively thin wad of paper, resembling several papers bound together.
“It could be Veron’s trap, Mabel. We cannot rule out the possibility that this was handed over by pretending to be sloppy on purpose to leak false information.”
Dad warned softly.
I also agreed with that opinion.
“If you send an important item to an aide who can’t even protect himself in the first place, it must mean that he wants you to see it.”
I couldn’t get rid of the thought that I was moving on the board Veron had laid out. However, the idea that it was best to move like that has not changed.
“Then I’ll look at it first and discard it if I think it’s confusing information.”
“So be it.”
throbbing. I felt like I could hear a fast pulse beating in my ears.
‘Aidan’s secret.’
And an ancient record of how to break the ban.
Although the memory did not fully return, the shock was still vivid.
What on earth was written on it that shocked me so much in the past?
I opened the first chapter and read it in order from top to bottom. Sentences beginning in the middle were cut off.
and the next sentence.
[Aidan. Its name is…]
In that moment, the memory of reading the sentences of the book with the eyes of the squeaker came to mind.
[Aidan. Its name is Ades.]
[Aidan. Its name is Ades.]
[The god of this world who has lost his memory.]
[The god of this world who has lost his memory.]
Only then did I know why I came to this world. .
“Kill me.”
Aidan called me.
In order to escape from the bondage of the Devlica family through death.
