Chapter 86. Master of Baby Baby Mabel Sculpture2020.11.28.
The sudden commotion reached where the Countess Deverill was sitting. Curious, she walked slowly to the center of the commotion. I immediately grasped the situation at the appearance of the emperor’s divine beast crouching down sadly, the angry emperor with both hands on his waist, and the hat of Count Minef holding each other in front of him.
‘It looks like that idiot son has even touched the Shinsoo.’
He was famous for harassing animals, and the Countess was well aware of it. I didn’t like it, but I never showed up. Since they were lofty nobles who thought that no one was more valuable than themselves, there were often those who thought that the lives of mere animals were worthless. It was then.
“Just because animals can’t talk doesn’t mean they don’t feel pain. Not even your toys. In the future, if you bully animals with a light heart, you won’t be able to enjoy it.”
The Emperor’s warning made a special impression on the Countess Deverill.
‘I thought he was a scarecrow emperor who didn’t know anything.’
I was a kid with my own thoughts. After assessing the situation, the Countess returned to her seat and sat down. Before long, the tired emperor trudged along. Next to him was the same weak Shinsu.
“There was a moment of commotion. Sorry if it was noisy ma’am.”
“it’s okay.”
“Is tea good for your mouth?”
“yes. It smells so good.”
The Countess looked at Mabel’s feet, curled up and lying down.
“Shinsoo doesn’t seem to have any energy.”
Perhaps knowing that he was telling his story, Shinsoo jumped onto the lap of Countess Deverill. Then, rolling over and over, he began to pamper all kinds of fawning.
“…Looks fine.”
“Haha…”
Contrary to her expressionless face, the Countess’s hand stroking Yang’s hair was kind.
“…Our Debbie was also healthy like this.”
Mabel, who heard the inadvertent murmur, tilted her head and asked.
“You mean your wife’s pet dog, Debbie? I have heard of it.”
“yes. I have no energy these days, so I can’t even go out for a walk.”
“You look very sick. It would be nice if Jim could take a look at Debbie…
”
Having said that, I was actually a bit moved. It was because there were vivid testimonies from those who had seen the miracle performed by the girl emperor at the swordsmanship competition a few years ago. I was impressed by the story of the dying Sang Hwang Jae being healed and saved.
‘It’s just a seed of a god, not a priest, so it might be different.’
As if reading his mind, Mabel smiled broadly and shouted.
“If Jim needs anything to help, let me know, ma’am!”
The Emperor’s pure smile showed no other intentions. The sincerity of wanting to help really shined through. Unlike other chideul who wanted something from themselves, the emperor had nothing to gain.
‘Maybe I can put my mind at ease.’
There was some discomfort with the work related to Duke Javier, but there was no regret. It was because I thought that it was used as a political statement of the situation system to check the power of the duke, since I do not know anything.
‘If you think about it like that, isn’t he a pitiful child?’
Countess Deverill had softened her guard against Mabel just a little.
“lol.”
I don’t even know what kind of dark heart the ‘poor child’ in front of me is harboring.

Countess Mineff worked hard to calm her irritable son.
“Calm down, my baby. After all, nothing happened, right?”
“You became a laughing stock because of that bitch!”
“Even your mother doesn’t like it. Even so, isn’t he a scarecrow emperor without power? so huh? I’ll buy you a new pet.”
“Buy me a cat with horns too!”
“Yes, save me somehow. Mom can do anything.”
If you ask an alchemist to remodel an animal, you will be able to obtain it without difficulty. A chimera’s lifespan is short, but it didn’t matter because it wouldn’t survive a week from Stephen’s bullying anyway.
‘I must go back soon.’
Apparently, there were many eyes in the imperial castle, so it was difficult to control his son. The countess waited for the carriage to arrive and sighed at her irritable son. However, no matter how long I waited, the carriage did not come. It was just then that I realized something was wrong.
“It’s you. The destroyer who smashed our baby Mabel statue.”
“…?!”
When I turned my head at the sudden gloomy voice, a man with a bloody spirit was standing there. Countess Mineff could recognize his identity at a glance. Hwangjeje Esteban! Seeing her expression as hideous as that of a demon, the countess took a step back. She hurriedly hid her precious son behind her back, but it was a futile gesture.
“Meet His Majesty the Four Emperors.”
“Baby Baby Mabel Statue.”
“yes?”
“It’s past, I can’t go back.”
“…”
“…do you destroy it?”
Esteban muttered as if chewing and spitting. Esteban was in a state where he couldn’t hear anything. There was nothing to be seen in the fact that that monkey-like bastard dared to destroy the precious statue. Minef’s hat trembled with anger as he saw the enraged situation system. And then the savior appeared.
“His Majesty! No murder!”
It was Gustav, an aide. He hurriedly ran and stood in front of Minef’s hat. then cried out
“If you want to kill me, then kill me after going through the due process!”
“…”
It was only natural that the hat’s face turned white at the aide’s remarks, not to stop it, but to deal with it in a way that was not against the law.
***
Hat Minef, who had barely escaped from Sanghwangje’s grip, climbed onto the carriage and stretched out his exhausted body.
“Never again! never! I’m not going to the tea party held by the emperor!”
“Yes baby. It would be better not to get involved…”
He knew that Sang Hwang was crazy about the girl emperor, but he didn’t know it would be to that extent. Just at the time when he vowed never to go near the emperor again-. bang!
“Ahh!”
A roar that shakes the wagon. With the driver’s shout, the carriage stopped.
“What’s up!”
Stephen slammed the wagon wall and asked, but no answer came. The boy nervously opened the carriage door.
“Oh, it was a joke.”
And I faced a demon that looked like an angel laughing coldly.
“Your Highness the Prince…?”
“joke. know? I accidentally attacked the wagon while practicing swordsmanship.”
“Anyway, this is too deep…!”
It was just then that Countess Mineff was about to protest with a flushed face. Kwajik! One side of the wagon was completely warped. The culprit appeared when the coachman and even Minef’s hat were shocked. black hair and red eyes. It was Aidan.
“He’s more playful…”
Oscar let out a laugh and shook his head. I felt lost somehow.
***
Having finished the tea party successfully, I watched all the guests leave and returned to my bedroom.
“Now, shall we clean things up?”
[Freak it out!]
The angry sheep encouraged me by tapping its tail.
“okay okay.”
Just in time, Aidan climbed the balcony and came inside.
“I have a request for Aidan.”
“What is?”
“Countess Minef. I’m in a bad mood. You saw Aidan earlier. The heir of the family bullying the sheep. You seem to be abusing other animals too? So I want to take care of you.”
“There is no need for that.”
“huh?”
“It’s going to be pretty tough in the future.”
“Yes?”
It wasn’t long before he found out what Aidan’s words meant. . . . A few days later, an article about a prominent family appeared in the Ricavelli Weekly. ‘Countess Minef. Being attacked one after another by mysterious thugs?!’ ‘Countess Minef claims that “the emperor’s knights are attacking”.’ ‘Aide Hwang Seong dismissed it as nonsense. What is the truth?’ After seeing the tremendous article, I gaped.
“A mysterious monster? …the emperor’s knight?!”
…I quietly closed the newspaper.
‘As if I hadn’t seen it.’
***
Tweets arrived today too. When I put my hand out the window, the chirp landed gently.
[Give me some food!]
“Eat here.”
[Exciting Chirp.]
I opened the note tied to Chirp’s ankle. The caller was, of course, Casey. I had Aidan teach me Korean, and now I didn’t have to use a password, so it was easy to communicate. [The Countess Deverill is still in her seat. From what I’ve heard, the dog’s condition has gotten worse. I’ll keep an eye on you. P.s. Laboratory Thank you very much, Your Majesty. You know what I’m doing?]
“…What are you doing?”
I deliberately painted black over the letters so they didn’t look like it. However, given the context, I guessed that it might be ‘love’ or ‘like’. I set up a private laboratory for Casey, a wizard, and it was fortunate that the response was good.
‘I’ll have to exploit it more fruitfully from now on!’
I’ve commissioned a magic item that would be good to develop, so if you’re lucky, you should be able to get it.
“Then it will be easier to go out in the future, won’t it?”
“What makes it easier?”
“…huh!”
When I turned my head at the sudden voice, Oscar, who had just finished training, was standing leaning against the doorway. Oscar came closer and glanced at the note in my hand before I could hide it.
“…what’s this?”
“This is the password!”
“password?”
“huh!”
Oscar stared at Casey’s note with a serious expression. However, there was no way I could read the contents written in Korean.
“Who sent you?”
“A friend!”
“friend? Is this the young girl you met at the party?”
“…Hi-Hi.”
Laughing silently, Oscar nodded as if he had interpreted it on his own, then stared at the note again.
“What is written on it?”
“I can’t tell you that. It’s a secret story.”
“Um, yes.”
For some reason, I wondered why Oscar was just passing by, but I thought so.
“By the way, Oscar. Hey.”
“huh.”
“Dad, are you very angry…?”
“Why is my father angry at you, Mabel?”
“The statue was scattered. because of me.”
Since it was a statue that Dad cherished, he must have been angry. Even though Count Minef’s family was devastated, the statues that had already been smashed would not come back.
“How is that because of you? It’s all because of the ruin of the Minef family.”
Suddenly Oscar’s face turned as bloody as his father’s when he was angry. When I looked at him with surprise inside, Oscar met my eyes and smiled refreshingly.
“why?”
“Oh no. Anything.”
“If it’s your father, you look depressed. I’ll come and comfort you later.”
“I’m bored to death.”
As expected, the bloody Oscar must have been wrong. Because your smile is so kind and pretty.
“Because the little baby Mabel statue was cherished by the father.”
“Why the hell is the name Baby Mabel Statue?”
“It’s still a baby, but it’s a statue I made when I was a baby, so they say it’s a baby Mabel statue.”
“….”
If I thought I wanted to get away from my dad at the moment, am I an unfilial child?
“I’ll go with you, Mabel.”
“okay.”
Even if it wasn’t, I had something to say to my dad and Gustav. It was the conclusion that I came to after thinking deeply about the tail incident of this sheep.
‘I should say let’s enact the Animal Protection Act.’
It was just like that, holding Oscar’s hand and leaving the main building.
“You naughty child!”
When I turned my head at the shrieking voice, I saw the angry Larimar and Xavier standing across from her. I opened my eyes wide and quickly grabbed Oscar’s hand.
“may-.”
“Shh! Come and see me.”
Fortunately, Oscar quietly joined me in hiding as I wished. We hid behind a bush and overheard the conversation between Larimar and Xavier.
“Why are you so angry?”
“Are you asking because you don’t know? It’s all because of you.”
“What else…”
I covered my mouth with both hands.
‘Lisandro was right!’
I watched closely because the atmosphere of the two people was unusual, but it was a car that was disappointing because it was no different than usual. But after all, that was acting and you were really dating! I looked at the two of them with my eyes twinkling.
“Mabel. It’s rude to eavesdrop on other people’s conversations.”
“Oscar. Look at those two dating!”
I didn’t even hear Oscar’s nagging. Meanwhile, Larimar and Xavier were arguing, raising their voices.
‘Love fight?!’
I’ve seen many fights, but it was the first time I’d ever seen a love fight, so I couldn’t take my eyes off it.
“Who are you, Xavier, to do this or that to me?”
“Oh, because of that?”
“Why are you talking like that?”
“I told you. That man is not good. Just by looking at it, did you mean to approach you on purpose?”
“I mean no!”
I was surprised again. Upon closer inspection, it was not a love fight.
‘…Did Larimar have another man?!’
I heard the sound of my ‘Larimar X Xavier’ stock, which I had been buying for 9 years, going bankrupt.
