Chapter 87. Shut up, trash2020.12.01.
“How could this happen…”
“Why are you so sad, Mabel?”
“My stock. My stocks are…”
“What are stocks again?”
“no. Anything.”
I was sad, but it wasn’t my job anyway, so I struggled to gather my heart.
‘I’ll have to find out later.’
I also wondered what kind of man Xavier would oppose like that. I arrived at my dad’s office to do my first thing.
“dad!”
“Come on. Oscar Mabel.”
“busy?”
“I’m busy.”
Even though I could see a pile of papers piled up on the desk in the office, my dad lied in plain sight. He took me one step further, picked me up, hugged me, and even sat me on his lap. I felt like I interfered with work, but somehow my conscience was stabbed, but I decided to work harder to interfere with it.
“dad. Hey.”
“okay.”
“Are you saying that at the tea party, a boy named Steven Minep bullied our sheep?”
“Will this dad scold you?”
You already scolded me, but pretending it wasn’t? Countess Minef’s family had already turned to dust before I even touched them, so there was no need to scold them.
“No, that’s okay.”
“Then what shall we do?”
“Enactment of the Animal Protection Act.”
“….”
“….”
“….”
Dad, as well as Oscar and Gustav, who were working hard, raised their heads and looked at me.
‘Was the request too sudden and unreasonable?’
It would have been embarrassing to ask them to enact the law first when the concept of animal welfare had not been established at all. I explained how pitiful the animals were, whipping them vigorously down to their limbs.
“It’s an animal that can’t talk, so people can’t bully it like that. Besides, among the nobility, raising rare animals as pets, showing off and abuse them? how could that be! Animals can think and feel pain.”
It wasn’t just because I had the ability to communicate with natural objects.
“It is natural to protect animals. But I think it’s good to enact it as a law because people don’t take it for granted!”
That’s how the briefing on my opinion on the enactment of the Animal Protection Act ended. I thought that this would be enough to convince them a little, but the three men’s expressions were still strange.
“why? Are you all against me?”
“No, that’s not it…”
Oscar opened his mouth in embarrassment. Then Gustav suddenly started clapping his hands.
“Awesome!”
“huh?”
“As expected, His Majesty the Emperor is a genius. How did you have such a warm heart? While still sick! Isn’t it perfect to enact an animal protection law there! You will make a great monarch in the future!”
Suddenly, Gustaf got excited and started praising me. I just said the obvious, and I was embarrassed for nothing.
“It’s only natural that you don’t abuse animals.”
“But do you know how many scumbags don’t even do that? It’s not just Steven Mineff, but if it’s fashionable, it’s a good way to guard against the nasty hobbies of the aristocrats who can’t afford it.”
Fortunately, Gustav’s response was positive. After listening to the aide’s opinion, the only thing left was my dad.
“What do you think, Dad?”
“I…”
Dad stared at me with a serious face. At that time, when everyone was nervous about what the hell he was trying to say by dragging out time like this-.
“I’d like to make a statue to commemorate my daughter’s genius.”
“….”
– There was only a statue in my father’s head.

Countess Deverill arrived at the shaded playground created exclusively for her dog, Debbie. He then told the chef to set the carefully prepared health food down in front of Debbie.
“Debbie. Here are your favorite snacks. Do you want to try it?”
“Ki-ing…”
“…Today, too, I’m not feeling well.”
The Countess also knew in her head. Debbie’s old age means it’s time to leave. However, to let go, Debbie’s meaning went beyond a dog and was no different from family.
“Beep.”
Seeing Debbie whimpering as if she had something to say, the Countess sighed.
“I wish I could understand you, even for a moment.”
“Ki-ing…”
“What on earth do you have so much to say?”
Seeing her reflection in Debbie’s black eyes, the Countess slowly raised herself.
“Ki-ing.”
“Come back later Devi.”
It was time to welcome a long-awaited guest. Entering the drawing-room, Countess Deverill sat down opposite Viscountess Crahu, who was known for her socialite. It can’t be said to be intimate, but it was between drinking tea from time to time.
“Have you been doing anything, Mrs. Deverill?”
“What am I doing?”
“Ho Ho. I heard rumors that you attended His Majesty’s tea party not too long ago. Unfortunately, I couldn’t be with you because I had work in the estate.”
“I see.”
“How was it? I had met the emperor from a distance before. His age at that time must have been about five years old. I remember that you were very lovely. Oh ho ho.”
“Right.”
Viscount Krahu was not a very suitable person to talk to. However, it was good to deal with it because I didn’t have to say useless words and just responded roughly. Isn’t it nice that he talks about big events in the social world on his own.
“Come to think of it, today I heard an interesting story from a relative of my husband’s close friend.”
“What are you talking about?”
“Well, the relative of my husband’s close friend is the one who has a seat in the parliament. His Majesty the Emperor has officially submitted a legislative bill today!”
“His Majesty’s age is this year…”
“Nine. Isn’t it amazing? Moreover, the content of the bill was very interesting. It’s called the Animal Protection Act!”
The Countess Deverill was surprised inside. What surprised her was not the age of the emperor, but the content of the law.
‘The Animal Protection Act.’
Isn’t it a topic that no one has ever been interested in? It was a somewhat unconventional and alienated bill to put forward in a parliament that mainly cares about the poor and relief or tax policy.
“Everybody said they were surprised. His Majesty’s first bill was an animal welfare bill! There is a lot of talk about shooting the unfortunate incident at the Tea Party.”
“…Right.”
Countess Deverill quietly raised her teacup. The impression of the little emperor at the tea party came to mind.
“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 figure that confidently warned Youngshik, who was much taller than himself.
“If Jim needs anything to help, let me know, ma’am!”
Even a smile that said that he would help innocently without expecting anything in return. A weak incontinence went to the solid wall. Although she had never asked for help from others in her life, the Countess’s heart was broken.
‘Once in a while… yes, maybe once in a while.’
***
“Huh?! What came?!”
“An invitation from Countess Deverill.”
“Aww!”
At the unexpected invitation, I pulled out my hair. As soon as Larimar took my hand in surprise, she rolled over on the bed.
‘Did you expect it?’
If Debbie’s condition is not good, I desperately thought that I could find her, but I did not receive a call from Casey that Debbie was in danger.
“What kind of change of heart is this?”
We haven’t met since the one we saw at the tea party. I haven’t even approached Countess Deverill in earnest yet, but I’m so embarrassed to hear from her first. But always a thirsty man digs a well. A few days later, I arrived at the Countess’s capital’s mansion, accompanied by the tremendous escort knights my father had attached to me.
“Aidan. How am I today?”
“…yes?”
“How do you look? Do you look nice?”
“I do not know.”
“Chi.”
After rolling my eyes at Aidan’s ambiguous answer, I set foot inside the mansion. Then a sullen man hurriedly came out to greet us.
“Meet Your Majesty the Emperor. My name is Pogo, the butler of the Deverill Mansion. It is an honor to be able to serve Your Majesty like this.”
“It’s nice to meet you too, Jim.”
“haha. As you’ve heard, you’re smart. Come on, eat inside.”
A butler with a kind face showed us inside. Before long, we arrived in front of an outdoor tea table. Countess Deverill, who had been sitting down and waiting, stood up.
“Meet Your Majesty the Emperor. I am grateful for your willingness to accept my invitation.”
“I’m the one who asked you to tell me if you need help.”
I smiled and tried to be kind to the Countess.
‘For world peace…!’
To do so, you must obtain the essence of the tree of creation. The countess remained steadfast and expressionless despite my capitalist smile.
“The reason I brought Your Majesty to the mansion today is because, as you said, I have a request for you.”
“What is it?”
“Could you come over here for a second?”
After taking a few steps to follow the Countess, escort knights moved after Ussu. Then the countess stopped and looked at the knights.
“There are many escorts.”
“That father was very worried…”
“I understand. Haven’t you been attacked as well? However, I think it is unnecessary for all personnel to move.”
It was not difficult to understand the meaning of the countess’s words, since she knew roughly what she was about to do. When I glanced at the knights, they pretended not to see them, but in the end, they couldn’t win and retreated. I followed the Countess, accompanied by Aidan. A wide empty lot appeared not too far from where the tea table was. A large-scale awning cast a thick shade in a well-polished place for running around. I saw the old dog lying helplessly on the rug under the shade. It was to the point of feeling sorry for him to see him panting intermittently.
“Debbie.”
When the Countess called her name, Debbie waggled her tail as if she had never been limp. But I couldn’t get myself up as if it was the best.
“I want you to look at this child’s condition. As I said before, I’m worried because I haven’t been able to regain my energy lately. Moreover, I whine every day.”
“Your wife.”
I walked over and squatted across from Debbie.
“Hi Debbie.”
Then Debbie lifted her head with difficulty, then lowered it again.
[Hello.]
After that, there was no need to say it out loud.
‘The Countess worries about you, Debbie.’
[Mom worries too much. So sad.]
‘What’s so sad about it?’
[When I leave, Mom will be left alone.]
After a while, Debbie already had a hunch that she would be leaving soon. I just clenched my fists. As expected, most of the reason why Debbie couldn’t pick up her energy was because of her age. I felt helpless because I couldn’t stop the end of my lifespan even with my divine power. As I put my hand on Debbie’s head and gave it strength, the warmth slowly drained away.
‘I can’t solve lifespan, but I can make it less painful.’
[Okay. Satisfies. If only I could run to my mother.]
Debbie’s breathing became much easier than before, as if the divine power had worked. Now, he even shook his head.
‘Do you like your mother that much?’
[good night. Really good. It’s the best in the world.]
‘Mom thinks so too.’
[That’s good too. I’m glad.]
But even that momentarily, Debbie’s tail drooped.
[no. sad. I’m a little happy…]
‘Why?’
[My mother is in danger if I leave. I can’t protect my mother.]
‘The countess is dangerous…?’
[Dangerous. Because-.]
What Debbie said next was truly shocking.
It was a time when I couldn’t escape from the words I couldn’t believe at all. Debbie jumped up, looked behind me and started growling. At the same time, the voice Debbie had told me just before played in my head.
[My mother’s subordinate beats me every day. If I leave, my mother will beat me too. mom is dangerous It’s sad.]
…When I turned my head, I saw the butler of the mansion smiling benignly.
“Oh, that guy. As soon as you wake up, you hate me. haha.”
I stood up from my seat, staring at the butler who spoke succinctly. He smiled kindly and approached slowly.
“If you need anything, please let me know, Your Majesty.”
“butler.”
“Yes, Your Majesty.”
I looked up at the man much taller than I was, and spoke in a low voice that only the butler could hear.
“Shut up, you trash.”
Naturally, there was no kindness to be shared with hypocritical animal abusers.
