Chapter 29. Hwangseong Mascot2020.05.12.
“Come on.” (Come on.) As
he stretched out his index finger with a broad smile, a wasp landed lightly on it. If it were me in the past, I would not have thought of putting it on my finger for fear of getting stung, but now I was different.
‘Because I feel that the wasp is friendly to me.’
Of course, it was only the ability to communicate with natural objects, so there was no possibility that the wasp would sting if it suddenly got angry.
“Burah. Are you salsu or odinun?” (Bee. Do you know where salsu is?)
Weng. The bee flew up and made a short flight around the circle. I don’t know, but it seemed to mean that I knew.
“Where are you?” (Where are you?)
Weeng. The flying bee headed for the window.
‘I think it means to follow me…’
“No.”
When I didn’t follow, the bee ‘weng’ and landed on my head. It seemed like he was a little angry.
“It’s a new friend to share.” (I’m trapped.)
Ehyo. He covered his cheeks with his small hands and let out a deep sigh. It would be nice to have a conversation like animals, but unfortunately, it was impossible to communicate with insects. Only very simple communication is possible.
‘What would you do if you could find out the location of the watering hole? I can’t move.’
In my sleep, I remembered the conversation that Oscar and Hwang Sang-je had.
“okay. The killer side completely destroyed the evidence. That side gave up and told me to search for the person in charge of the barrier who was said to have been bought.”
“I hope the search is successful.”
In the end, the tracking of the watering hole failed. But I can locate them. In my heart, I want to reveal the fact that I can communicate with all living things and help them, but the decision was not easy. People with a lot of ability end up being used. For me, whose goal is to leave the imperial castle one day, I liked being seen as useless as possible.
‘That’s why I secretly handled the magic stone mine.’
Ugh.
“Ojjondam.” (Somehow.)
I know, but I can’t ask like this. It is also the conclusive evidence of the person who tried to kill me and nothing else. After thinking for a long time, I jumped up from my seat.
***
[So. You came looking for me?]
He smiled at the sheep wagging his tail.
‘There’s no one else I can ask for other than you. huh?’
[How dare you use this body to run errands!]
‘You did that, Yang. Are you… the strongest and coolest Shinsu in the world?’
[That’s right!]
‘I can easily grant you such a trivial request!’
[Of course!]
Yangyang proudly raised her head. It seemed that he was not very proud of himself. The sheep’s white horns shone dignifiedly in the sunlight.
‘…Simple.’
[What?]
‘Oh no. You know I’m not serious It’s cool, Miss Yang!’
After that, I stroked the sheep for over 10 minutes and trembled with flattery. Being conscious of the gazes of the escorts all around, he talked occasionally.
“Ah Ibu!” (Ah, pretty!)
[Whoops.]
“You’re floating!” (Cool!)
[Whoops]
The sheep, who pretended to be cool in response to my praise, eventually followed the bee. I was amazed to see the sheep disappearing at a tremendous speed. Still, is a Shinsoo a Shinsoo?
“Whew.”
did one thing All that was left was to wait.
***
A month later, I attended the regular meeting again. I was glad to see myself after a long time, but the servants greeted me with big smiles. The situation system behind me didn’t seem to bother me too much.
“I’m glad you look healthy, Your Majesty!”
“Do you know how worried the gods were? This man cried so much that he fainted and was taken away on a stretcher.”
“Oh no… why are you saying that? ashamed.”
I was moved to even cry because of me, but it was also burdensome.
“Oh, I have nothing to wish for, as long as Your Majesty is well!”
“Fingerprints are strong.” (Jim is strong.)
“Ayu. yes yes yes You must be strong.”
As one of the servants burst into tears, the other servants began to weep as well. I blinked my eyes in bewilderment. At this rate, the conference hall was on the verge of becoming a sea of tears. I jumped up to prove my health.
“Ah Apo! Stay!” (It doesn’t hurt! Really!)
“Huh. How can I do that
with that small body… Huh… ”
“How hard must it have been? Hehe…”
But instead of being relieved, the servants began to weep.
“…”
Among them, the one who cried the loudest was, of course, the Marquis of Gardenia. I turned to Hwang Sang-je for help, but he turned his head away with an expression of extreme disgust.
‘Help wasn’t enough.’
Also, I have no choice but to solve it. I took a quick glance at the meeting hall, which was almost lined with a line. All but a few were crying. I put my hands on my hips and shouted sternly.
“Drop!”
“…!”
“Tuka Gora! It’s Jim’s job!” (Take care! It’s Jim’s order!)
Miraculously, the servants stopped crying. I was once again amazed at my leadership skills. I took advantage of that gap and drove a wedge in a word.
“If you cry again, you
will be sentenced to death.” I wonder if my threat worked well, there were no more crying servants. … I could hear sniffles from time to time. I sat on the throne again, praising myself for overcoming the crisis and adversity that came my way today.
‘Ehh. It’s hard to take care of a servant.’
Now it is time to finally start the meeting. At that time, one of the servants who did not cry opened his mouth.
“haha. Isn’t His Majesty the Emperor troubled? Everyone, don’t be blameless and keep the crying in.”
‘…Duke Javier.’
My eyes when I looked at him sank fiercely. A scumbag who puts on a friendly smiling face and only thinks of hurting others on the inside. In the past, although he committed corruption and corruption, he believed that he was a human being who could be saved, although he was blinded by greed. However, I realized that this was not the case about a month ago when Yang-yang was running errands for me.
‘Have you been?’
[Um…. Yeah.]
‘What’s the reaction like? Where is the place the bee told me?’
[I know Mabel too.]
‘Someone I know?’
[Duke Javier’s residence in the capital.]
‘Javier…Duke?’
That man who was worried about me who collapsed with a kind face was actually ‘the person who tried to kill me’. I still get startled at times when I think back to the situation when the blade was flying at me. He couldn’t even imagine how heinous it was when he recalled the face pretending to be frightened right next to him while he had instigated it.
‘Why did you try to kill me?’
I pondered the reasons for not attending the meeting for a month, but I couldn’t guess anything. Even if I died, my vacant place could be filled by Hwang Sang-je or Oscar. To that extent, my influence was useless. Right now I am
‘The mascot of the imperial castle.’
It was only about that much. Even if you kill it, there is nothing to gain.
“God has missed the smile of His Majesty the Emperor very much for the past month. It is good to see you here.”
At the Duke’s words, I smiled as I wished. If it’s that good, watch it a lot.
‘Someday I’ll turn you into a bowl of jelly so you can’t see things with your own two eyes.’
I haven’t done anything for a month. At first, I tried to let Emperor Sanghwang know that the man behind the attempt to kill me was Duke Javier. But I had to give up on that.
‘Because I have to prove my abilities to do that.’
I didn’t want to become a hand that was too good to give up to the Empire. However, there was nothing I could do to take revenge alone. A child less than two years old. At least when I was about three years old, when people could accept my expression of opinion, I was able to pretend to get revenge. Anyway, I had to stick to the imperial castle until I reached the age where I could become independent, but now even the issue of survival threatened me. So I made a plan. I spent as much time as possible surrounded by escorts and developed my abilities, but later I definitely got my revenge on Duke Javier.
‘Let’s see.’
My eyes were burning with murderous intent. I wonder how he interpreted my gaze, but Duke Javier laughed happily.
“Let’s start a meeting.”
Hwang Sang-je, who had been frowning as if he was fed up, opened his mouth and the meeting finally began.
***
It has been 22 months since I was born. I was a little taller and had a lot of long hair, so every day my nanny would happily think about how to tie her hair.
“Now, these are grapes.”
“Podo.”
“Huh, that’s right. Be clever too.”
I opened my mouth while looking at the nanny who was simultaneously teaching words and snacks with a pitiful gaze.
‘Nanny always has a lot of trouble.’
The sweet and sour flesh, with the seeds perfectly spread, filled your mouth.
“Yum Yum.”
it’s good. My hands and cheeks were still chubby because I had such delicious meals and snack time that I didn’t miss every day. Sometimes I think I’m eating too much.
‘A child must eat a lot.’
It was not in my previous life, so it was my goal in life to enjoy the good things in this life. I’ll be full. I jumped down from the bed and walked out the door.
“Are you going to the garden again?”
“yes.”
“I will escort you.”
Leaving Lisandro, now openly revealing, at close range, followed by over twenty knights, they set out into the garden. In fact, he thought that an escort of more than 20 people was excessive, but he thought it would be better to overdo it because he did not know when Duke Javier would start acting tricks.
“Because my eyes are cold…” (Because I don’t want to die…)
“What did you just say?”
“No.”
I gave a rough answer to Lisandro’s question and increased my walking speed. I haven’t done anything in the past, so running was easy now. Iron Puduk-!
“…Ugh.”
I can’t help falling sometimes… Lisandro lifted me up with a ‘ha ha ha’ laugh.
“You fall really well. You seem to fall once a day!”
“Don’t laugh.” (Don’t laugh.)
“I understand.”
After glaring at Lisandro, who began to laugh, he moved on again. My destination was the same today.
“Sheep!”
When I reached the entrance of the forest and called out with all my might, a golden lump fell from the tree. It had grown larger in the past few months.
[Why are you here so late today? I waited!]
‘No, it’s cold because it’s winter.’
[Do you know I’m not cold? I’m cold too!]
I smiled shyly and patted the head of the anguished sheep. I also wanted to take Yangyang to the Hwangseong Fortress, but I couldn’t enter because the Hwangseong building had a barrier. My ability needs to be stronger so that even the sheep can break through the barrier. As I was spending a leisurely time curling up and slicing a sheep lying down, animal friends appeared one after another from all over the forest.
‘Toto!’
[grass. Yum yum.]
‘Here’s grass.’
Lisandro secretly made the weeds in front of Toto grow. Then Toto wrinkled his nose and grazed happily. It was winter, so the grass didn’t grow, so he seemed hungry.
‘Baby. Didn’t I increase my abilities a lot with this?’
Although not as much as the previous bee swarm, the number of animals that can communicate at once has increased significantly. Now, I tend to communicate with plants often. Such as reviving withered flowers or restoring rotten trees. However, Yang shook her head resolutely.
[not there yet. Besides, are you still a baby? I need to grow more.]
‘Ehh…’
He let out a deep sigh and hugged the neck of the winter deer, a.k.a. Then the breasts began to seduce me.
[Mabel. get on Let’s run.]
‘Huh? no. The bad people over there will say no.’
[human. I’m scared.]
When I pointed at Lisandro and his companions, the heart patted its four thin legs and trembled in fear. I put my chin on my chin and lost myself in my thoughts.
‘I ate the northern forest now.’
There was no animal I didn’t know because I met or said hello once. In order to increase his abilities, he had to communicate with more animals, but the forest in the castle was too small.
‘Should I expand the area…’
But by what means? To do so, I had to leave the imperial castle, but there was no way Emperor Sang Hwang would let me go. It was when he was crouching down, covering his cheeks with his plump hands, and sighing in succession.
“It’s an assault!”
Someone’s cry was heard in the distance. I looked up in surprise and Lisandro hurriedly picked me up. Meanwhile, the noise grew louder and louder.
“Devlin’s demon has appeared!”
Indeed, I opened my mouth at the name I hadn’t heard in a long time.
