Chapter 13

13. I’m Already Looking Forward to that Day

“Come here, your Highness.”

“Come here.”

Grandpa and the Emperor reached out to me at the same time. I gazed alternately at the two men with my mouth wide open.

“Hoom…”

If I choose one, I’m afraid I won’t be able to handle it.

‘Should I cry?’

While frowning and gathering sensitivity to cry, Oscar jumped through the open door.

“Mabel! …huk.”

Oscar was surprised and backed away when he found two men with intense tension instead of running towards me.

At then, a better way came to mind than crying.

I stretched one arm towards Oscar without even looking at the Emperor and grandpa.

“Cwome hwere!” (Come here!)

Oscar came up to me and hugged me even though he was burdened by the pouring gazes.

“I’m a little late because I had a lot of assignments, Mabel. You’ve been waiting a long time, haven’t you?”

“Oong.”

It was rather comfortable to be hugged by Oscar.

The two men’s spirits faded as they could not be jealous of a six-year-old.

‘Phew. It’s hard to survive…’

***

The Holy Empire of Abelardo.

After being held in Ermano the whole time, Montego finally returned home.

The punishment was light compared to the charge of kidnapping the royal family, but the follow-up was heavy.

From now on, Montego will not be able to set foot in Ermano.

Across the border, Montego headed straight to the temple where the Shin-Hwang stayed.

“Come here, Montego.”

A young man, lying on the throne, was the King, Micheal Abelardo.

A man of Abelardo’s last name, whom only the King could receive.

He was veiled because he did not show up to the outside world. therefore, there were countless rumors surrounding the

Because he handled everything through his agent, his appearance, age, are all unknown.

Contrary to the public perception that he is a gray-haired, soon-to-be-dead grandfather, King has the appearance of a young man, youngest of a teen, and oldest as early 20’s.

White blond hair, so bright that it can be seen as silver at first glance, and red eyes, as if to captivate a person.

The young man with an indifferent expression looked beautiful enough to open people’s eyes.

Montego bowed his head to the king, who was much younger than him, and swallowed his dry saliva.

‘The outside is not real.’

He was actually much older than Montego. No one knew exactly how old he is.

Montego knew the character of the King. He was sure that he won’t be forgiven for failing his mission.

“What about the seed of God?”

At Michael’s question, Montego bowed his head even more.

“…I failed.”

“I see. Okay.”

“Yes?”

“I said I got it.”

Of course there was no anger or reprimand expected to fly. Michael tilted his head irritably as Montego stern at him blankly.

“I never expected you to bring her in anyways. Because you’re so incompetent.”

“Th…!”

“You have nothing to say, right?”

Montego shook his head. He couldn’t live up to the King’s expectation, so he listened and endured the insult.

But he didn’t expect anything from the beginning.

“I don’t think you understand, so I’ll explain it kindly. All I sent you there for, was to see Ermano’s reaction.”

“…”

“How well can they protect God’s seed? How can I bring her to Abelardo? It’s kind of a rehearsal.”

“I see.”

Montego accepted it calmly.

Everyone in the temple knew that Michael’s personality was terrible, so to was nothing knew.

It’s not fair that he became bait.

“So what are you planning to do?”

“Mm.”

Michael, who was still agonizing, soon smiled brightly.

“I have something in mind.”

“Is that…..so”

Montego thought.

He looks like a pretty angel on the outside, but he wants to know how evil he is on the inside.

***

The time of the incident was when the sun was the warmest, when I had just finished bathing!

The sudden pain in my mouth made me cry, covering my mouth with my hands.

“Eu…..aaaanng!”

“Oh my. What’s wrong?”

The nanny, who had just finished changing my clothes, was startled and pulled my clothes back.

I cried because my mouth hurt so much.

I didn’t even intend to cry, but I burst into teats because I was surprised by the sudden pain.

When my cry was heard, Lalima and Xavier ran to my bed.

“Your Highness! What’s wrong! Are you sick?”

“Lalima, don’t make a fuss. Her highness is surprised.”

Xavier patted me, talking to Lalima.

Fortunately, the pain was gradually reduced, but the anxiety did not completely disappear.

“Are you okay now?”

I shook my head hard at the nanny’s question.

“hwut!” (hurts!)

The nanny gently opened my mouth. The nanny laughed loudly when she looked into my mouth.

‘……Nanny?’

I can’t believe you laughed like that when I said it hurts. How could a nanny do this? I stared at the nanny with tears of betrayal.

I didn’t believe in the Emperor or Oscar, but I believed in the nanny! I’ve shown you everything and I trusted you!!

“Madam, why did you suddenly laugh at her Highness.”

The nanny laughed again at Xavier’s question.

“Her highness’ teeth is growing.”

I was startled and grabbed the nanny’s hand.

“Weeth?” (Teeth?)

“Yes. You’re getting a tooth.”

“Weeth?”

“Yes. Your teeth are growing.”

“Weeth!”

The sense of betrayal towards the nanny has long disappeared.

‘Teeth! It’s teeth! Finally, I have a tooth! I’m starting to get teeth!’

“Haha. Your Highness, how cute you are! You’re so happy even though you don’t know what it is?”

Lalima laughed and ignored me, but I decided to let it go this time.

Teeth growing meant that I could be able to speak soon.

I will no longer be a bad talker like an animal! The nanny and everyone was laughing at me as I was enjoying myself, lifting my shoulders up and down.

“Now, let’s get ready then.”

A nanny who had finished organizing my clothes, pushed Xavier and Lalima’s back.

The two snorted their heads.

“Prepare what?”

“This news must have gone into His Majesty’s ears, so we need to prepare to meet his Majesty.”

For a moment, silence fell. Xavier and Lalima froze, and I felt bewildered.

No one’s gone to report, how can the Emperor know?

I yawned heavily. But my gums hurt again just when I thought it was better.

“Eu…”

I’m not going to cry. I’m not going to cry.

This is a sacrifice for the greater good. If it’s this much pain for my language, it’s nothing!

But as expected, it hurt a lot.

“Heuiing.”

When I burst into tears again, my nanny held me in her arms and patted me.

“It’s okay, your Highness. It’s proof that you’re growing up.”

I know that, but I didn’t know it would hurt this much. A toothache is so terrible.

It’s not just one or two teeth that need to grow, so how long will I have to Geel this pain.

Fortunately, the pain went away after a long whine.

“Ah, our Highness. You endured it well.”

The nanny gave me a friendly pat on the head.

It was embarrassing to hear compliments for enduring pain, but now that months have passed, I got used to it.

Lalima, who was crouching in front of me, said as if it had suddenly come to mind.

“I think it’s been a long time since you cried.”

“She usually honest cry a lot.”

Xavier replied.

Tingling. My conscience hurt.

In fact, I didn’t cry very much, and when I needed help, I called people with babble.

When was the last time I cried…?

“That’s why I’m glad you’re crying. Her Highness’ weeping is so cute, isn’t it?”

Lalima made a tremendous remark. I blankly looked at her.

‘Um, Lalima…?’

What’s more ridiculous though, is that Xavier agreed to her.

“You’re usually wrong, but I agree with that. Her Highness doesn’t cry often, so it’s special when she does.”

‘Xavier, you too……!’

The only one I could trust was the nanny. I looked up eagerly, holding tightly to the nape of the nanny’s dress.

The nanny smiled at me.

“Her Highness’ smiling face is the prettiest.”

As expected, nanny is the only…!

“Her crying face is cute too, though.”

“…”

So I was betrayed by three people.

You’ve been enjoying my cries, you pervert.

For revenge, no matter how painful it is, I will never cry!

As I clenched my fist, vowing to avenge my blood, the door opened.

“Mabel.”

It was an Emperor, who was breathing hard.

At that moment, I remembered the conversation between the nanny and the rest of the group.

The Emperor will be here soon, so we have to be ready to greet him…it wasn’t a joke? It was real?

But these three were the only ones who knew I’m suffering, so there was no one out there to tell him.

By my reasoning power, the culprit was Lissandro Donovan.

He usually hides his face because I get angry whenever I see him, but he was always watching me.

“It’s a national occasion to finally have teeth.”

“Eu…?”

The Emperor began to talk nonsense again that I couldn’t pick up.”

‘Um, I don’t think so!’

“With teeth. What should I give you this time?”

The Emperor was trying to offer me something again.

In a moment, the yawning passed through my head.

The Northern forest of the Imperial Palace, Ponce Castle, Personal escort…Vistante Duchy. there was more, but I couldn’t remember them all.

Anyway, that was too much for me, I didn’t think I should get any more. I hurriedly grabbed the Emperor’s hand and shouted.

“Snwack!”

“Snwak…?”

“Gib snwak!”

“A snack?”

I nodded vigorously. It was quite a good offer for a rush.

Baby snacks are fine.

But that was the result of my underestimation of the Emperor.

“Snacks. Snacks. Yes, I’ll give you the chef of nature.”

“…?”

I asked for snacks, I didn’t ask you to give me a person…!

***

Crumble.

From the hand of Esteban, the letter from Abelardo was horrible crumbled.

That must not have been enough, soon the letter died a terrible death with a chilling sound.

Gustav, who watched the scene with a white face, spoke carefully.

“Your Majesty. You have to send a reply…”

“Tell them to get lost.”

“Ahahaha.”

Gustav’s mouth was smiling, but his eyes wailed.

‘It’s always like this, it’s me who cleans up the mess every time…’

Esteban glared at the torn letter. The contents of the letter from Abelardo were a kind of declaration of war.

At the first birthday celebration party for Mabel Winter Gardenia Ermano, the King Michael Abelardo, will attend.

‘I thought they had given up after Montego had tried to kidnap Mabel, but he was playing this trick behind me.’

rip. riiip-

While Esteban was agonizing, the letter was brutally ripped by his hand.

What was once a letter, transformed into a particle because it had been torn a much as possible.

‘Maybe it’s good thing.’

If it’s a declaration of war, it’s enough to respond. Esteban had both the reason and ability to protect Mabel.

It would be better to keep your guard up than to be embarrassed by nothing.

“Gustav.”

“Yes, Your Majesty…”

Gustav replied blankly, the particle that used to be the letter was fluttering.

Gustav’s head was full of worried about how to turn off the answer , which was euphemistically, lyrical, elegant, and heart-warming.

Esteban looked at the aide pathetically while writing the letter.

“Send this to Abelardo.”

“Th-this is…”

It was a letter to get lost!

At last, a war against Abelardo will break out!

Esteban’s expression grew increasingly grim as Gustav shook and refused to accept his personal letter.

“A pay cut-“

Even before Esteban’s words were over, he rushed to receive the letter. Because it’ll be big trouble.

Gustav’s expression of looking at the contents of the letter was profound.

What was written there was a peaceful greeting.

We welcome and look forward to the visit of the King…

“Do you really want me to send it as it is?”

“Yes.”

Gustav rushed out of the office, hoping Esteban would change his mind.

Esteban watched the back of his aide.

The time remaining until Mabel’s first birthday party is about two months from now.

‘It’s hard to see the king face to face, so I have no choice but to prepare for the rest of the month.’

“I’m already looking forward to that day.”

He was even delighted to imagine the shocked reactions of the Abelardo bastards.
