Chapter 6. Growing up is so hard2020.02.22.
I doubted my ears for a moment, but I wasn’t mistaken.
“-Algor Chekhov’s argument was established as a mainstream theory by scholars at the time, but problems began to appear in later generations.”
I stopped sucking my teeth and looked up at Oscar blankly. Oscar was engrossed in the contents of the book, so he didn’t even notice my gaze and read it eagerly. Confusing. …wasn’t he six years old?
‘What six-year-old reads a book like a treatise?’
“The first thing I refuted his claim is…”
I said and spit out my teeth. And muttered dissatisfiedly.
“Sheep.”
“huh? What’s wrong, Mabel?”
stop reading Not good for baby emotions!
“Not funny?”
If you say that I quietly glared at Oscar. Oscar scratched his cheek and closed the book.
“It is strange. I thought you might like it…”
There is no 3-month-old baby in the world who would like Algor Chekhov’s book about the ills of Bordosism… have left it
‘It would have been better if I had just thrown it away.’
“Mabel. I’ll bring a more interesting book next time.”
“Abuuuu…”
At that moment, I became extremely anxious. How many more extraordinary books will he bring next time? It is clear that this is the harm of early education.
‘No matter how much he is a prince, to read something like that to a six-year-old is like a harsh imperial family.’
As I was trembling in fear that it might become my future, there was an uproar outside.
“Sheep…?”
Repeating ‘Yangi’ faithfully to the concept has now become a habit. This commotion was the noise right before the emperor appeared, but something was different from usual. It was louder and more hum. Before long, the door burst open. Thanks to lying on my side, I could see the emperor as he entered.
“Meet Your Majesty the Emperor.”
‘huh?’
I blinked both eyes. Behind the emperor receiving the greeting, there were people he had never seen before. They were all wearing white robes, and they all looked at me. As several pairs of eyes looked at me, I felt extremely burdened. At the same time, I felt strange. Something makes me feel sick…
‘Why is this all of a sudden?’
“oh. This is Her Highness the Princess.”
Behind the emperor, a middle-aged man slowly stepped forward with an unfamiliar voice. The more I did, the worse the groaning got. People I met said that I could count them on one hand, but I was embarrassed because I had never been like this before. A gray-haired man looked at me with eyes full of goodwill.
“You look very healthy… and full of divine power.”
As he was about to take a step closer, the emperor raised his arm and blocked his way.
“Have you forgotten the conditions Jim put forward?”
‘condition?’
The stranger smiled at the emperor’s rather overbearing attitude.
“Of course I am aware, Your Majesty. But with the protagonist of the oracle right in front of you like this, there is nothing to stop admiring.”
“How can you be sure that Mabel is the oracle’s protagonist?”
“Although she hasn’t awakened yet, Her Highness feels infinite divine power. I can feel it.”
I don’t know what you’re talking about The subject seems to be me, but I can’t understand it at all. What is an oracle and what is awakening? Could the trembling energy felt by the man in the white robe be divine power? The strange man did not take his eyes off me while talking to the emperor.
“Hey…”
I whimpered and reached out to Oscar. Then Oscar patted me on the shoulder and reassured me.
“It’s okay Mabel. Those are the priests from Abelardo. So there is no need to be afraid.”
Abelardo. I’ve heard of it a few times. I thought it was the name of the country, but why did the priests there come to see me?
“Since Mabel is unfamiliar with it, it would be best to have an audience like this.”
The emperor, who had been in a bad mood all along, stood in front of the priests. The gray-haired man laughed blankly at the determined attitude.
“Let it be. The desired confirmation is complete. Shortly before that, I heard that the ‘Demon of Devlin’ was taken hostage.”
‘Demon of Devlin?’
I remember hearing Larimar and Xavier talking casually one day. I thought Devlin’s Devil was a really childish and funny title. hostage hostage
‘no way?’
Is it just a coincidence that I remembered the red-eyed boy I met on my first walk?
“It did. It’s been about a month.”
“I heard that you are skilled enough to deal with auras without a medium, but there was no damage?”
“There were quite a few injured. It’s to the point of destroying even the magic control device, so it’s having a hard time confining it.”
Apparently, Devlin’s existence as a demon was extremely strong. Seeing the Emperor make such a hard expression.
“Recently, Devlin’s movements have been unusual, so always pay attention, Your Majesty.”
“Devlin?”
“yes. Maybe it’s to get the hostages back. Either that or you have other plans. It reached the extent of reaching out to the Holy Nation… I’m afraid it might affect the Ermano Empire.”
The man’s gaze, which had been directed to the emperor, returned to me again. In an instant, our eyes met. Deep eyes filled with time stared at me.
“Then see you next time. Her Highness Princess Ermano of Mabel Winter Gardenia.”
The man politely bowed to me. It’s obviously just a greeting that’s nothing special, but somehow it felt meaningful. A tone as if he knew something. Is it because of the eyes or the attitude? Abelardo’s priests immediately left my bedroom. Then the tingling feeling completely disappeared.
“Whoah…”
I somehow let out a sigh of relief and stretched out my arms. I didn’t feel any hostility toward the priests, but I just felt uncomfortable. Oscar, who was fiddling with my hand, said in a serious voice.
“Emperor. It seems that Abelardo’s priests have retreated too meekly than I thought.”
“It is the same idea. I don’t think it will end like this. Perhaps the God King will take another action.”
“Why did you suddenly bring up the story of the Devlin Empire?”
“I will have to find out more.”
I was able to guess what this rich man was talking about. It was like the situation in Abelardo where the Emperor was desperately opposed to me when I had some business to do.
‘Ehh.’
What would I do if I was only three months old thinking about the complex circumstances of adults? By the way, wasn’t my name ‘Mabel Gardenia Ermano’? What’s the surname Winter? As I stared at Oscar, he smiled brightly.
“huh? iced coffee. Mabel, you don’t have to know.”
really. Isn’t this kind of bullying too much?

“Your Highness is sleeping soundly.”
“Shh. break it Quiet and let’s go, Xavier.”
“Your madam. Larimar went back first…”
I heard Xavier and the nanny whispering and then left my room. I opened my eyes slowly when I heard the sound of footsteps heading towards the next room.
‘Did he really go?’
“Whoa.”
After taking a deep breath, I stretched my arms toward the ceiling. This dark night was the only time I could be alone. Just a month ago, my nanny was in this room with me and looked after me while I was asleep. But since I found out that I don’t suddenly cry in my sleep like a real baby, I didn’t bother to be with him when I was asleep.
“Umm…”
‘It’s fortunate for me.’
Perhaps thanks to the steady movement every night, I became quite proficient at moving my limbs. If it’s a problem, is it this heavy head? No matter how hard I tried to flip it, my head was too heavy and I failed every time. Growing up is so hard Then, shall we secretly exercise in the moonlight?
“Huh!”
He clenched his fists and struggled on his limbs to roll onto his side. But still, the point is immovable.
“Huh!!”
Tried again, but failed as well.
“Ugh…”
I was frustrated. Will flipping fail today? I wanted to walk as fast as possible, but my body wouldn’t follow my heart. I thought that since I was only 3 months old, I should have more time. But somehow I felt stagnant, so I wanted to quickly get out of this situation. Above all, the existence of my father and brother who came to visit me every day was the most uncomfortable. I felt guilty for pouring unconditional affection without knowing what I was thinking. The Emperor wouldn’t have wanted to have a daughter like me… nor would Oscar. It was as if I was unintentionally deceiving them because I couldn’t speak. So I have to grow up as soon as possible and get out of this situation. independent or whatever.
“Pooh.”
yy, that’s it! Let’s do more exercise in the time to worry about useless things! When my head was heavy and I was trying to struggle with my limbs again to overcome the sad beast-. thud.
“…?”
Something heavy was heard.
‘Is the nanny awake?’
But the direction the sound came from was the opposite of the nanny’s bedroom. I was very nervous with my eyes wide open. But time passed and nothing happened.
‘Did I hear it wrong?’
phew. It was the moment when I let out a short sigh of relief and tried to exercise again. Whiiing – A cold wind blew from somewhere.
“!”
After all, what I heard earlier was not wrong…! Since the nanny couldn’t have left the window open, this must have meant that someone other than myself had entered my bedroom.
‘Who the hell are you?’
I wanted to check, but there was no way I could look to the side myself because I couldn’t even turn on my side. that buck Footsteps were heard. instinctively realized. Neither the Emperor nor the Oscars. It wasn’t even a nanny. It’s ridiculous to think that the person sneaking into the baby’s room at this time when everyone else is asleep isn’t malicious.
‘What do we do. Should I burst into tears?’
But what if the assailant hurts me before that? In the short time I was thinking about it, the sound of footsteps got closer and closer. And at the same time, I felt a familiar growl. Could it be that priest from Abelardo? I hurriedly closed my eyes to pretend to be asleep, but it was already too late.
“You are awake.”
The voice he heard confirmed his guess. It was one of the priests of Abelardo who had an audience with me a few days ago. I felt a dark gaze looking down at me in the dark. I opened my eyes and met his gaze.
“I’m here to pick you up, Your Highness.”
Of course, I know I won’t understand, but why is he polite until the end? Do you know that I remember my past life? I thought it would be better to check before crying out and calling people out. I clenched my fists and brought them to my eyes.
“Hee-eee…”
Then he whined as if he was about to burst into tears.
‘How are you! Taste the whining of a baby!’
While crying, I checked the priest’s reaction. Embarrassment spread across the man’s face as he looked down at me.
“Uh uh….”
‘As expected, you don’t know that you remember your previous life.’
At the same time as I felt fortunate, I was worried about how to resolve this situation. A confrontation between a 3-month-old baby who only knows how to cry and an adult who has decided to kidnap him. After all, the only answer is to cry, right?
“It’s nice, Your Highness. pop. Pop!”
He inappropriately tried to placate me. The relaxed look on his face had long since disappeared.
‘There is no bank.’
“Aaaaaa!!”
I cried without mercy. I had been crying for the first time in a while, so I thought it wouldn’t go well, but I was worried for nothing. Loud cries filled the bedroom. I could feel the presence outside the bedroom. Someone who heard my cry was coming here.
“…this!”
A man with a frown on his face took a step closer and reached out to me. Oh, no.
“Aww!”
I resisted, crying harder and struggling with my limbs. The hand of the man who was trying to hold me wandered dizzy.
“majesty. Are you nice? Stop crying.”
There is no tip!
“Aww! Aaaaaa!”
I wish I could have cried this much I mean, go away now! rattle. Someone tried to open the bedroom door. Rumble rattle. But the door did not open.
“We are running out of time, so we have to leave quickly. Now, here we go…”
Perhaps relieved that the door wouldn’t open, the man regained his composure. A hand that felt larger reached out to me. rattle. rattle! Meanwhile, someone frantically tried to open the door.
“Uh…”
The heightened sense of crisis prevented him from crying properly. Crying, the only thing I could do, was useless, so there was nothing more I could do.
‘What do we do?’
Just before the man’s hand touched me. I lifted my left arm and left leg. And then I put strength on my neck.
“!”
…successful flip?
