Chapter 48. I’m willing to be a tyrant2020.07.18.
Elder Clemen grinned at my confident coercion.
“Yelium is… passed down from generation to generation to His Holiness the God Kings…
” Why are you taking away…” (They say it’s mine. Why are you taking it away…)
I pretended to be upset and drooped the corners of my eyes, and my father, who had been silently watching, lit double wicks in his eyes.
“How dare you… play with my daughter?”
I applauded inwardly at my father’s unexpected intervention.
‘Nice timing!’
As expected, Elder Clement was greatly embarrassed and began to stutter.
“When did I play with His Majesty the Emperor-.” “If you don’t give me my twin
,
I won’t do it!” (If you don’t give me mine, I won’t change my name!)
“However, the conditions for my dispatch are obviously creditable.”
“I don’t know what you shared! Turn my tail!”
“Ah that…”
“Dodugida! Take my tail!” (Thief! Take mine!
) Elder Clement was embarrassed and embarrassed. When Gustav, who was worse off, suggested ending the conversation, he ran out of the bedroom as if he had waited.
“Let’s go.” (Go.)
Hee hee. When I smiled contentedly, Dad lifted me up and sat me on his lap.
“She is also my daughter. How smart you are.”
“that’s right. (Yes, I am smart.)
Even though I am the emperor of pants, two years and several months have passed since I have been living in this world.
‘Ahem. It wasn’t all in vain.’
Since it was a diplomatic matter, it probably wouldn’t end like this, but for now, I was satisfied with having scolded Abelardo’s elders.
‘In exchange for acknowledging my name, there must be a way to guarantee my position and rights in the Holy Land. wait and see I’ll eat it properly.’
While I was thinking about this and that, I suddenly remembered the face of a person I had forgotten.
“dad.”
“Yes Mabel. Dad.”
“Otsuka Odi go? I can’t see Did Gongja go?” (Where has Oscar gone? I can’t see it. Has the duke gone?)
I haven’t seen Oscar’s face since I opened my eyes. If I said I was awake, he would come running right away, but since he didn’t come, I was scared.
‘Has anything happened?’
He looked up at his father with worried eyes. Then Dad let out a light sigh and stroked my hair.
“Recently, Oscar seems to be having trouble. I only wield the sword every day, but I left it to watch.”
“Goming? Musoon Goming?” (Worries? What worries?)
What kind of worries is this little guy who is still young, so he only devotes himself to training? I looked up at my father persistently, but he avoided my eyes. Something must have happened to Oscar that I can’t tell. I guess my dad won’t tell me anything, so I’ll go and make sure he’s okay.
***
Arrived at the training ground entrance in Lisandro’s arms. I hadn’t even gone in yet, but I heard the sound of cutting the wind.
“I guess they are still training.”
“Naryo Joe.”
I stepped on the floor and immediately ran into the training ground. Oscar was wielding a wooden sword at the edge of the training ground in an empty field. No matter how long I had been doing that, my whole body was covered in sweat and sand. Usually, Oscar had a smiling face, but when he wielded a sword, Oscar had no expression.
‘A face I’ve never seen before.’
The guy who was absorbed in training with an insensitive face didn’t even notice that I was watching.
“Otsuka!”
Eventually, when I called his name first, he looked back at me with his eyes wide open. Clink. Oscar dropped his sword, as if the strength in his hand had waned. I smiled, waved my hands, and walked toward Oscar. however.
“…?!”
Oscar suddenly turned around and started running.
‘Why is he suddenly running away?’
Embarrassed, I watched him from a distance and started running after him. Naturally, my short legs couldn’t keep up with Oscar.
“Otsuka!”
“Don’t come, Mabel…!”
“Why!”
Panting. I ran hard with all my strength, but it was still not enough. Oscar gradually became a dot and began to disappear. I stopped waddling and waddling-. Cheeky! I tripped on a rock and fell.
“Ugh. It hurts…”
I was in so much pain that I burst into tears. I sniffed for a moment, then wiped the tears with my sleeve.
‘I have dignity in my second life, so I can’t cry because I fell.’
My knee hurt as I fell.
“Oops.”
I struggled to get up, but a dark shadow fell in front of me. When I looked up, Oscar with a dark expression was looking down at me.
“Mabel. are you okay?”
“yes.”
“Hold my hand and wake up.”
Without hesitation, I grabbed Oscar’s outstretched hand. Then the boy flinched. As soon as I stood up, Oscar hurried to let go of my hand. Kwak. I took one more hand and squeezed Oscar’s hand tightly.
“Mabel…”
“Why am I avoiding it?”
“…”
“That’s right, I avoided it.”
I stared at Oscar. He couldn’t even hide his embarrassment and avoided my gaze.
“Otsuka. Do you want me now?”
“That can’t be the case, Mabel. How do I hate you.”
“Why are you running away?”
“That’s…”
Oscar hesitated, sighed, then raised his head to look at me. The moist green eyes shook greatly.
“Because I… don’t deserve it.”
“Distant Qualification.”
I looked up at Oscar with a sullen face.
‘If you say you’ll protect me and say you don’t deserve it because you can’t protect me, I’ll have to hit you once.’
Scared to think so, Oscar replied.
“I told you I would protect you, but I couldn’t protect you.”
“Huh….”
How could he say it exactly as I expected? I clenched my fist and punched Oscar on the shoulder.
“Me Mabel?”
Oscar panicked and called me. I narrowed my brows and glared at Oscar.
“Babu.” (Stupid.)
“Huh?”
“Monggun. Shit. stupid Otsukanun is really dreamy.” (Stupid. Mutt. Stupid. Oscar is really stupid.)
“Where did you learn that? I can’t use such bad words.”
“Why not! I will use it!”
When I shouted recklessly, Oscar’s eyes widened. I was surprised because I had never used a group like this before.
“Odi writes the law that only the older brother protects the younger brother? My younger brother and older brother, Jiki and Sui!”
I held Oscar’s hand tightly with both hands. His hands were rough from swinging the sword for a long time. How many times had I swung my sword while blaming myself while I was down? I felt uncomfortable.
“…Giving each other Jikyo is family.”
“Mabel…”
“That’s why don’t avoid me.”
In fact, I was angry with myself, not with anyone else. It was natural for Oscar to avoid me. ‘Cause I couldn’t believe anything Unlike Oscar, who always showered me with overflowing affection, I felt burdened every time and was only eager to avoid him. It was something neither Dad nor Oscar could do. He was talking to Oscar, but he was also talking to himself. let’s not avoid
“Mabel, you really…”
Oscar took a deep breath, unable to speak for some reason. and after a while prison. A warm embrace embraced me. He had been swinging his sword until just now, so he smelled a bit of sweat, but that didn’t matter. I smiled and hugged Oscar’s waist.
“Apurudu, I’m going to go to hell.” (I’ll protect you from now on, Oscar.)
“That’s my line, Mabel.”
“My kid.”
“Yes, yes.”
We hugged each other until I was called by Lisandro, who had come looking for me. I, who had always been an only child, had a real older brother for the first time. My brother, who is ten years younger than me.
***
As soon as I entered the office, two pairs of eyes were fixed on me. Poor Gustav and Dad. I got the main point out of the way.
“Aidan, make me my escort driver.” (Aidan, make my escort knight.)
“…!”
Dad’s face was stained with shock. But that’s for a while. He straightened his expression and smiled kindly.
“Did you enjoy your meal, Mabel?”
“Ayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy.”
I didn’t take it lightly enough to fall for the shallow trick of trying to divert my words. Dad made a sound of pain and touched my forehead.
“That’s difficult, Mabel.”
“Oh, how come?” (Why?)
“Aidan was brutal enough to be called the demon of Devlin, so…”
The father slightly frowned, as if it was difficult to convey the meaning of death to the child. Then he glanced at Gustav and tried to shift the blame. Gustav looked down on his face, sighed, and sat down in front of me at eye level.
“your majesty. Aidan is a very dangerous man. I have hurt others a lot. I cannot have such a person by your side.”
It was a line that showed Gustav’s efforts to speak euphemistically. I laughed brightly and destroyed the innocence of such adults.
“I don’t give (I won’t kill you, so it’s okay!)
“….”
“….”
He added a word as he looked at the two people who were at a loss for words.
“And if you write up for A, you won’t be able to get a job. Anger must be acknowledged. The strong one deserves 90,000 degrees.” (And if Aidan wasn’t there, I couldn’t have caught the price. You have to take credit for it. Stop treating Ganja.)
Gustav and Dad froze in shock at my words of conviction. Of course, I thought he was struggling with my remarks, but he wasn’t.
“It’s a big deal because my daughter is so smart, Gustav.”
“…the genius of the century.”
“Maybe this is good.”
“Enjoy Your Majesty.”
“…huh?”
They were pointing at a completely different point!
“dad! Gusudapu!”
As they stomped their feet and shouted, only then did they return to reality. I ran dodo and grabbed my father’s hem. And looked up with longing eyes.
“Aren’t you going to reveal it?”
Blink your eyes once.
“…don’t listen. don’t listen to anything It’s Aidan and whatever you want, it’s yours Mabel.”
“and!”
In spite of the strong opposition, the consent was too quick.
***
There was one condition attached to Aidan becoming my escort. Anytime, anywhere, move within the range of Lisandro’s line of sight. I wasn’t planning to do anything particularly suspicious, and that condition wasn’t a problem. I chose the garden as the venue for my formal meeting with Aidan. I waited for Aidan to come with Yangyang.
[Mabel awakened too early.]
‘Are you talking about the healing ability?’
[huh. It’s still too much for your body. But there is some good news.]
‘What is it?’
[Since the active divine power has increased… you can take me to the imperial castle! I can break through the barriers of the imperial castle now!]
Yangyang sent a gaze full of anticipation with her eyes twinkling. He smiled as he remembered the stray cat rubbing his body to be chosen.
[Why are you laughing! Am I funny?!]
“No. It’s worth let’s go sheep. We are now worth buying.”
[Finally escaped from this beggarly life in the forest!]
Seeing the happy sheep running around, I felt sad. He pretended to be okay, but in fact, it seemed that he was uncomfortable living in the forest.
[exciting! Excited…!]
The excited sheep suddenly flicked its tail and glared at me. No, to be precise, it was behind me. When I turned around, I saw Aidan’s figure.
“Kak!”
The sheep gnawed and took a backward step.
[I can feel the evil energy!!! Damage Mabel!]
I ignored the sheep making a fuss and looked up at Aidan.
“Meet Your Majesty the Emperor.”
“Hello, Aidang.”
Hair darker than the darkness, red eyes like freshly squeezed blood. Just like the day we first met, his calm eyes stared at me. I offered him a seat on the bench, but he declined by taking a step back. I shrugged and sat down on the bench. And I asked what I was most curious about.
“Otoke Arasser?”
It is a word that has neither a subject nor an object, but you will not be able to understand it. As I expected, Aidan was unmoved.
“I planted the energy when the rats first wandered around. The place where the trail followed was His Majesty’s bedroom. So I just guessed.”
“Ghmm…”
I thought it was a method of surveillance that wouldn’t be seen, but it seems it wasn’t. I came to the realization that I would need to be careful when using my abilities in the future.
“Oops. let me know that What the heck is he like?” (Yeah. I understand that. What’s different and Viscount?)
“It’s Cicero.”
“….”
“..”
A cool silence passed. I stared at Aidan with cold eyes. He had been looking straight at me all along, but this time he avoided my gaze.
‘Let’s move on because the effort to tell them is imaginary…’
Aidan opened his mouth as he cleared his throat.
“I also have a question.”
“What?”
“What do you mean by the last message you sent?”
“Ah…”
You mean ‘ㅗ’? I couldn’t bear to tell you what it meant, so I awkwardly smiled and covered it up.
“Uh um… you mean to get to know me roughly?”
“okay.”
I added timidly.
“It’s not an expression I use often. … I don’t want to use Sasirun.”
I was very worried that Aidan would overuse that vowel. Was my appearance suspicious? Aidan’s eyes became meaningful.
“Are you insulting?”
“Uh… are you?”
Ahh! I shouted inwardly. What kind of answer is that! However, Aidan’s answer was really simple.
“All right.”
What do you want to know? Anyway, it was fortunate that I didn’t stumble more. Minor curiosity about each other was resolved. In fact, from now on, it was the most important business. “Aren’t you
wondering why I chose you as an escort?”
Officially, it is said that a group of assailants attacked the imperial procession, but in fact, the Devlin Empire was behind it. The one who forcibly opened my potential divine power was the Holy Kingdom of Abelardo. And it was the Devlin Empire that forced them to use that ability. It could have been a conspiracy, or it could have been a conspiracy. It doesn’t matter whether it was or not. What was clear was that the existence of the two countries interfered with my peaceful life.
“Aye. I need you.” (Aidan. I need you.)
“….”
“Tell me about Deburing, Joe.” (Tell me about Devlin.)
“Okay.”
Aidan didn’t ask why. I kindly explained why.
“You’re the one who will sprinkle Devlin.
” The one who abandoned Devlin and sought asylum in an enemy country. I noticed early on that this boy did not have good feelings for Devlin. It was close to bad feelings.
“Do you want to spur value?”
So suggested. Let’s smash Devlin together.
‘We’ll be pretty good partners.’
Aidan sat down on one knee in front of me.
“I will obey Your Majesty’s wishes.”
The corners of his lips, seldom moved by emotion, went up slightly. Oddly enough, he seemed to be in a good mood.
“Use me as you please.”
“Joe.”
That’s how I got an important plaque for a comfortable old age. A very dangerous card that was the dog of the enemy country in the past.
***
That night I had a nightmare. It was a dream in which my family in my past life abandoned me. But it wasn’t that shocking. Because I was no longer afraid of being abandoned by them. But what scared me was the next scene.
“Someone as disgusting as you is not my daughter.”
“Get your hands off me, Mabel.”
Dad and Oscar wildly shake off my hand and turn around. I was so shocked that I burst into tears. The dream was soon distorted. When I opened my eyes, I saw my dad and Oscar watching me with worried eyes.
‘It’s a dream after all.’
Dreams are a reflection of reality, so I wonder if I was always afraid that I would be abandoned like that dream.
“Is Mabel okay? Did you have a bad dream?”
“Come here, Mabel. Daddy won’t hug you.”
Being held in a warm embrace, I was surprisingly calmed down. Dad and Oscar stayed by my side until I was completely fine. Until the bluish dawn passes and the sun shines in the morning. Looking at them, I thought. I didn’t really want to be a great emperor. If possible, it was good in its own way. But if anyone touches my precious people.
‘I’m willing to become a tyrant.’
***
What seemed like forever can’t win as much as time. The light-brown letters cherished in the drawer, the four-leaf clover placed between books, and the fruit held by small animals all eventually wither away and crumble. My day was the same. As if the more precious it is, the faster it wears away, the time passed helplessly and the trees in the garden changed their clothes several times.
