Chapter 47. Thank you for not leaving me alone2020.07.14.
Esteban had a secret trouble. That was exactly what Mabel was calling herself. Just when he was speechless, Mabel used to call him ‘papa’. So, of course, he had no doubt that the next step was ‘Dad’. but what
“Puhang.” (Father.)
It was the father, not the father.
‘Why did I just skip to the next step?’
Esteban was shocked. However, it was too trivial to confide in others, so I couldn’t tell anyone and went to myself. Even Oscar, who has grown up since childhood, called Esteban daddy, but why does Mabel call him father? Thinking that he was calling after his older brother, Oscar, Esteban secretly called himself ‘Dad’ in front of Mabel and taught him through injections. Looking forward to the day that Mabel will call me Daddy someday. But in the end, there was no such thing as being called dad. I couldn’t force my beloved daughter to call me daddy, so I was giving up to some extent. I did.
“…dad.”
Isn’t it because the beloved child who has been in a coma for a month finally calls him daddy as soon as he wakes up?
“Is it a dream?”
Esteban clenched his fist and punched me in the shoulder. puck! It hurt. It was not a dream.

News of the emperor’s awakening quickly spread throughout the palace. It was good news for the first time in about a month since I lost my mind. The people who had been intimidated by the atmosphere like a thin ice sheet finally let out a breath. Among them, the ones with the most faces were, of course, members of the imperial family.
“Congratulations on saving your life.”
“haha. You are.”
“Today we must have a toast!”
The expressions of the servants, who had to attend meetings without the emperor all the time, also brightened.
“Did you hear the news? At last, His Majesty the Emperor has awakened!”
“Fortunately, the. I was so anxious to wake up soon…”
“Now I can stretch my legs and sleep! Heh heh heh.”
Oscar, who had been wielding his sword all day long with an expressionless face, dropped his sword at the news that Mabel had woken up.
“Mabel…”
I wanted to meet Mabel right away, but I held back.
‘Because I don’t deserve to see Mabel.’
He boasted that he would protect him, but in the end, he couldn’t do anything, so he had no face to see his brother’s face. As a result, it was Mabel who saved the situation system from danger.
‘Such a pathetic older brother.’
Oscar smiled self-deprecatingly and raised his sword back. The only thing I could do now was develop the strength to protect someone. On the other hand, there was one person who brought shock, confusion, and fear to the imperial castle with a smile on his face. It was Hwang Sangje Esteban.
“The weather is nice today. Isn’t it?”
“yes? Yes…”
Receiving the sudden question, Gustaf glanced up at the gloomy sky and then lowered his head.
‘It’s good if His Majesty the Emperor has good weather.’
And at that moment it started to rain.
‘…If you like rain, it’s good weather!’
Esteban, not knowing that Gustav was doing all sorts of self-justification beside him, moved lightly and cheerfully. I thought I’d finished all my work. I was going to spend a good time with Mabel. They were just passing through the corridor. Esteban called to Gustav in a low voice.
“Gustav.”
“Yes, Your Majesty.”
“Actually, Mabel called me Daddy.”
“Ah yes.”
Only then did Gustav understand Esteban’s elation.
‘Because he’s been called the father in the past.’
Esteban stood tall. Then, with a serious expression, he took off his luck.
“So… I have a concern.”
“What is?”
Gustav’s expression also sank as well. I didn’t feel good about how serious the trouble was.
‘Are you saying something related to God?’
The condition of dispatching a priest from Abelardo to awaken Mabel was to officially recognize the divine name ‘Winter’ in Mabel’s name. Esteban accepted the condition without the slightest hesitation. Gustaf shook his head.
“As expected, it would have been better to make a decision after thinking a little more about Shinmyeong-.”
“What are you talking about?”
“yes?”
“It’s enough to wipe out Abelardo. I only pretended to listen to your request.”
“…yes?”
‘I think I heard a tremendous sound right away.’
With Gustav in shock, Esteban expressed his concerns in a casual tone.
“I mean, I can’t choose. Would you prefer the Sinolea Peninsula or the Feliciat Winter Palace?”
“…no way.”
“okay. A Mabel gift.”
“…”
Gustav was at a loss for words. Wouldn’t they give away all of their personal reports? They gave away all kinds of villas and even the principality, and even palaces on the peninsula. He answered roughly, feeling like he didn’t know.
“Give me both.”
“yes? Wouldn’t that be nice too?”
“…”
Somehow, it seems that the palbulchul has gotten worse.

I couldn’t believe that I had been asleep for over a month since the day I was attacked.
‘Has your hair grown a bit? I think I’m a little taller…’
In fact, there was a more important problem than appearance. It was a change in divine power. I don’t remember the situation at that time, but I knew that I healed the situation system with holy power. That acted as an opportunity, and it seemed that the latent divine power suddenly increased to a level that I could feel on my own.
“Hope. (Hmm. It seems like a lot, but.)
It seemed that the exact number would be known only after practicing with Yang. I think I need to think about the suddenly manifested healing ability.
“Ugh!”
My head was cluttered with all sorts of thoughts. I crouched down and writhed in pain. After hiding the ability to communicate with nature, what is the sudden manifestation of healing power? In the meantime, all efforts to look like a baby without any ability have gone back to vain.
‘Of course, I saved the situation system with that ability, but…’
If I go back to the past and the same situation repeats, I will heal the situation system. Only that choice remained unchanged. I lay down on the ball and stretched out my limbs.
“Now it’s Ottokaji.”
second life given to you. Until now, I have been busy only ignoring reality. Buried in the wounds of the past, he pretended not to see the sincerity of his new family and treated them as if they were strangers. So I tried my best not to get involved too deeply. But now I know.
‘Yun Winter is no more.’
When it was Yoon Winter, I was already dead. Now I was Mabel. My father, who abused and neglected me, was gone. Rather, Hwang Sangje and Oscar loved me unconditionally.
‘I don’t want to think about leaving anymore.’
Now, I wanted to live a normal life within the fence of a real family. However, if there is one big problem… ”
Hang-i-ge-jji .”
Therefore, my belief in the dethronement was still the same.
“hmm. Hmmm…”
As I was thinking very soundly and productively about my future, I felt a presence outside the door. As soon as the door opened, the first thing I saw was Hwang Sang-jae’s face.
“fart! …bar.”
I was going to call him father out of habit, but hurriedly changed to dad. Then, Gustav, who followed Sang Hwang Je, followed my words and recited.
“Pupa…?”
‘…pretend you don’t know about that.’
He usually smiles when he sees me, but Hwang Sang-jae, who is smiling more widely today, approaches me with arms wide open.
“My Mabel, the most lovable and cutest person in the world. Did you sleep well?”
‘The modifier is so long…’
He nodded with embarrassment.
“Ugh…”
Hwang Sangje lifted me up and gently stroked my hair.
“You are good at answering. Mabel, you may be the most responsive baby in the world. Not to mention cancer.”
“Yes?”
‘Somehow, it seems that the state of the drunkard has become more serious than a month ago.’
Waking up after almost a month, I tried hard to understand that it was like that and pulled the hem of Hwang Sang-je’s clothes.
“Even the little finger pulling the hem is so cute. The cutest finger in the world.”
He mercilessly cut off the endlessly connected situation.
“dad.”
“…!”
Both Sang Hwan Je’s eyes widened. The reaction surprised me too.
‘Could it be that he doesn’t like being called daddy?’
Come to think of it, when I just woke up and called Daddy, the reaction was not cool. Suddenly, he slapped himself on the shoulder and kicked out of the seat. I called Situationje as I was originally called.
“Puhang?”
“Mabel. it’s dad Dad.”
“Oh Dad.”
“okay. Dad.”
Somehow, looking at the thrilled face, I realized that I was mistaken. I wasn’t surprised because I didn’t like it, but I was surprised because I liked it.
‘…Now I can see it. That he cares for me.’
Before, it was just burdensome, but now it was excessive. I’ve never been loved, so I didn’t know how to reciprocate. So I clumsily said no. He hugged his father’s neck. Then his body hardened with tension.
“…Mabel?” “
Thank you for taking care of me. ”
Thank you for not leaving me alone in pain. I’m sorry that I’m such a bad daughter. I’m talking about the summer when I first got sick, but Dad seemed to be thinking about the time I collapsed this time.
“Thank you. I just did the right thing.”
“I don’t know.” (Of course not.)
“Why are you so kind when you already know how to be grateful to such a young guy?”
“Hehe….”
If I knew what I was going to do in the future, I wouldn’t say anything nice. I was conflicted about whether I would remain a good daughter for a very short time, but I decided not to.
‘Because it seems like everything will be okay no matter what I do.’
And in order to lead a comfortable second-round life, there were two stumbling blocks that had to be cleared.
“Dad, this is it.” (You know, Dad.)
“Yes.”
“Yogi Ichi, priest of Aberraudo? Ask him to come.” (Is Abelard the priest here? Ask him to come.)
Dad’s eyes widened. It was like how did you know that?
‘I heard some news from the squeakers.’
Through them, I was able to grasp, at least roughly, the situation after I lost my mind. After a month had passed and I hadn’t woken up, the Hermano Empire sent an official letter requesting the dispatch of a priest to Abelardo, the Holy Kingdom, and Abelardo accepted. And as soon as they arrived, my condition improved and I woke up in less than a day.
‘… is the main point.’
By absorbing the holy relic into me, I induced the holy power to run wild, so the current situation is probably what Abelardo wanted. In return for waking me, Abelardo asked for only one thing. Acknowledge the new name ‘Winter’. You might think it was just putting a middle name in the middle of the name, but it wasn’t. It was an intention to place me, the emperor of Ermano and the royal family, under the influence of God. When I finally didn’t wake up, Dad accepted the condition and brought Abelardo’s priest into the imperial castle.
‘I can’t leave it like that.’
Dad, who had a hard expression on his face, let out a small sigh and nodded.
“I was going to call you because I need to see your condition one more time anyway.”
“yes. Ask them to come.”
“i get it. Gustav.”
Upon receiving his father’s orders, Gustaf immediately left the bedroom. Before long, a gray-haired grandfather entered the bedroom. I felt a tingling sensation that I had never felt before.
“Meet the two of you, Your Majesty. My name is Clement, an elder of the Holy Kingdom of Abelardo.”
“Hello. Culemen Harabuji.” (Hello. Grandpa Clement.)
“Heh heh. Seeing you in good health gives me great relief. How is your body?”
“Joe.”
“Can I take a look?”
“yes.”
Standing in front of me, Elder Clement raised his hand close to his forehead. After a while, a pattern of white light emerged from his hand along with a warm feeling.
“The mighty divine power that was rampaging because it couldn’t settle down has calmed down a lot. However, it is not a good idea to use the healing ability hastily because you do not know when it will run out again.”
“Arseo.”
Is there any chance of using the healing ability twice and going to the goal? I didn’t intend to use it until my body grew to a certain extent and my holy power stabilized. I should have roughly understood my physical condition. Now it was time to get to the main point.
“Kulemeng Harabuji. I’m going to go to the middle of the day.” (Grandpa Clement. I have a question.)
“What is it?”
“Abelardo said that if I could swipe my Irume Winto, I would do it.” (Abelardo said they would like me to put Winter in my name.) Dad, who had been silently observing the sensitive
topic, opened his mouth to say something. I looked straight into his eyes and shook my head.
‘Just trust me.’
Looking at Elder Clement pretending to be innocent and laughing hehehe, the elder smiled benevolently.
“That’s right. Because His Majesty is the only ‘seed of God’ on the continent given by the oracle.”
“Cine sisi groque joa?” (God’s seed is so good?)
“Sure.”
“Olmamankum Zoa?” (How good?)
“It could be said to represent all the gods.
“and! Kuromon, am I the best God?” (Wow! Then I’m next to God?)
“Yes? Haha, that’s how it is.”
Seeing Elder Clement smiling at me as if he was cute, he smiled.
‘done.’
“Is Kuromon Yelium mine?” (Then is Yelium mine?)
“…Yes?”
I raised one hand and asked proudly.
“Joe.” (Give.)
Yellium. A holy relic that symbolizes Abelardo’s supreme authority. Seeing me proudly demanding the key to the heart chamber, which is the token of god held by the god king, Elder Clement was greatly embarrassed. He smiled softly and politely refused.
“It belongs to His Holiness the God King…”
“Jo. My dick.” (Give me. It’s mine.)
But I couldn’t break my stubbornness.
‘It’s a baby’s prerogative to be reckless.’
Shouldn’t there be a price to pay for putting me under Abelardo’s influence?
“Give back my tail!” (Give back mine!)
