Episode 114. The Hero Created (4).

“hello.”

Mabel followed the high priest into the room of the high priest Matthias and sat down in the same chair as before. Matthias greeted the child with a most affectionate smile and took out a clear bottle of red juice from the cupboard.

“Hello, Mabel. Today I have prepared a juice that I think you’ll like. I hope you like it.”

Matthias opened the bottle with an expectant voice, poured the juice into a glass, and placed it in front of Mabel. He sat down in the same seat he had been sitting in before, just as the child had done.

The red liquid that filled the clear glass didn’t shake at all even though it had just been poured. Mabel, who was staring at the blood-red liquid that reminded her of blood, opened her mouth.

“I heard that Dad got hurt. Please send him home.”

“Oh, Mabel. As I said last time, it’s difficult.”

“Is it because of the adults’ circumstances?”

The smile on Matthias’ lips deepened as he heard the child’s voice flowing out a little slowly.

“I remember it well. And if Viscount Damier had been injured, I would have heard the story of why he was injured.”

Mabel’s brow furrowed at Matthias’ words, which seemed to indicate that he already knew everything.

“I heard that you got hurt while trying to save others. The other day, the High Priest said that divine powers should be used to save others. Then, can’t you use it for your father who saved others?”

As if he was surprised that the child remembered what he had said, Matthias’ mouth opened slightly and a small exclamation escaped him.

“Yes, but Mabel, I think differently about this matter. I think that the Idea who appeared in the capital this time, the one who wishes for the destruction of the world, is none other than Viscount Damier.”

?Your Excellency, I have something to tell you.?

Lars, who had returned from the Black Forest, came to see him and told him about a group called Idea that he had not spoken about before.

Ideas, those who wish for the destruction of the world.

The story of the first one disappearing with the one he had assumed to be the one seeking material desires, and the fact that the three ideas he had encountered so far were two elves, not humans. Lars, who had relayed the information he knew, bowed his head deeply and apologized.

?At first, I doubted the possibility that Viscount Damie was the idea, so I thought it would be better to tell you after I was sure, so I held back from saying anything. This time, I encountered the idea together with Viscount Damie in the Black Forest.?

The naive and naive Chosen One was convinced from that one meeting that Viscount Damier was not the Idea.

?Also, Lady Cloris said that the magical power of Idea and Viscount Damie are different colors. I apologize for not telling you in advance.?

It wasn’t that there was no other basis, but he knew facts that he didn’t know.

First, the first one who is greedy and reveals himself to the chosen one is the current Viscount Damier, the mercenary king Tariq hired by Kael.

Second, those who were originally designated as those who would bring death in the second trial were the dark elves of the Black Forest.

When Lars didn’t tell me the story of the Idea, I just thought it was a somewhat forced coincidence.

It’s a coincidence that Tariq didn’t drink the poison he had given to him by the high priest, and instead ran away after stalling for some time to ask for help from Viscount Damier.

Also, since it was the Emperor who had taken possession of the land near the Black Forest, I thought that this incident was just a trial given to me by God.

But after hearing the story of the man named Idea, my thoughts changed.

“Sister Cloris said that Dad was badly injured when he dealt with a bad guy named Idea. And if you ask your sisters and Lars, you’ll know that Dad and I also ate with a guy named Idea.”

A calm retort came from Mabel’s mouth.

“No, Mabel. Why are you lying to me?”

“I’m not lying! Why don’t you call the other people who were there and check?”

In response to the continued rebuttal, which seemed to indicate that he was truly wronged, Matthias made the sign of the cross and took a short prayer pose.

After a while, Matthias relaxed his posture and slowly removed the blindfold covering his eyes, opening his eyes that had been closed.

As his deep golden eyes turned to Mabel, the child’s small shoulders flinched—quivered violently.

“The first one to be greedy was Tariq, who is now employed by the Damier family. He was the first victim whom I personally carefully selected.”

“what….”

Mabel stared at him with a confused expression at Mathias’s sudden statement of the truth. Despite the child’s expression, his words continued.

“Tariq had a cursed younger sister. I remember her name was Lily. She is now with the Viscount Damier, with her sister. She is now your exclusive handmaiden, completely cured of the curse.”

The priests who had seen his sister in person all told Matthias that it was a curse that could never be lifted unless one possessed the divine power of a high priest.

“If the idea that wants the world to end is Viscount Damier, then didn’t he take Tariq himself and use his power to heal his sister in exchange for holding his leash?”

“I cured Lily? Your Majesty, you know that I awakened my divine power here.”

“No. You have possessed strong divine powers since you were born. You may not remember it because you were too young, but I personally visited the temple where you were when I heard that there was a child with strong divine powers.”

As Matthias continued his story, he began to speak with increasing certainty about the identity of Idea as Kael.

“And the Chosen One and Idea. You said you ate with them? That would be easy if you borrowed the power of the Dark Elves in the Black Forest. That race excels in black magic, and if you combined that with Viscount Damier’s magic and power, you could easily deceive them.”

“Then, what about this incident? If, as the High Priest said, Dad is the Idea, then that means that both the person who attacked the capital and the person who stopped it were Dad….”

“That’s simple.”

Mathias gently cut off Mabel’s words as she tried to refute him again.

“Wouldn’t it be nice to have one more strong wizard among the Ideas?”

“Isn’t that too far-fetched?”

“Well, is this really just speculation? Mabel, lying is not good. If you tell me the truth now, maybe the merciful God will forgive you.”

A persuasive voice tickled my ears.

His voice sent goosebumps down Mabel’s spine.

He was already convinced that Idea’s true identity was Kael, so he wouldn’t listen to anything I said.

“You were just used by Count Damier. If Count Damier truly thought of you as his daughter, he would never have let you get involved in something so dangerous.”

Mabel’s body began to tremble slightly.

How did he interpret the child’s trembling? Mathias got up, approached Mabel, knelt down, reached out, gently touched the child’s shoulder, and whispered.

“Poor Mabel. It may be hard to accept the truth right now, but I will be with you. Your beloved Flora, Adrina, and Lars will be with you too.”

“… … .”

“They and I can become your true family.”

At his whisper, Mabel laughed like a crazy person, saying, ‘Haha…’

“Mabel?”

Mabel muttered when Matthias called her.

“Why do I always…?”

He still vividly remembers the gazes and voices of the people pouring towards him in the village of Whidin. Behind Kael, in his arms, he simply felt relieved.

At first, I was happy that I could be reincarnated into my favorite novel. I was excited because I could pray to God and finally have a family that would love me.

But in the reality he faced, he was still alone and despaired, but in that despair, he was able to meet Kael.

One by one, the number of people who gave me their affection and heart increased by his side.

The greetings that I naturally hear when I wake up in the morning, the meal times we have together, the compliments I receive, the affectionate hands stroking my head and back, the hugs, these are the things that made me realize for the first time that this is what it feels like to be loved.

Maybe I was thinking too hard and complicated.

Whether or not we are related by blood, if you think of them as family and they think of you as family, then you are family.

I laughed at myself for realizing the obvious fact too late, and then regret came over me.

They settled for the happiness they created.

Intoxicated by the happiness they felt for the first time, they walked happily through the flower garden without really knowing what sacrifices they were making or what risks they were taking.

“Can I tell the truth to your majesty?”

Mathias nodded with a smile at Mabel’s soft voice.

“I’m so nervous… Could you hold my hand?”

“Yes, of course.”

Mathias wrapped his arms around Mabel’s small hand, looking extremely happy at the sudden request.

“I thought that everyone could be happy. Or at least a little less unhappy. Without realizing it was hubris. I thought that I could make it happen.”

What’s so great about knowing the original, not knowing that it’s eating away at the flesh and blood of those close to me?

“I guess I foolishly thought it was too easy.”

Even though I was faced with how cruel this world was on the verge of destruction, I dreamed of a utopia where everyone would be happy.

Without realizing what a ridiculous delusion it was.

“I don’t take anyone’s sacrifice for granted. But if my family can live instead of someone else sacrificing, I would rather someone else sacrifice.”

Mathias’ expression turned into one of puzzlement at Mabel’s subsequent words.

It’s like… .

“It may be late. No, it may be late, but I am not going to settle down any longer. I am going to move to protect it.”

Mabel held Matthias’ hand tightly, smiling brightly.

“So, so that I can protect my family, you must help me, Archimandrite Matthias.”

Matthias, sensing something strange, tried to push Mabel’s hand away, but before he could, a blue light burst out from the anklet hidden under the hem of his dress.

His eyes widened in shock as he realized the identity of the bright blue light that had burst out.

“This… power…?”

– Crunch.

He sat up and looked down at his feet at the familiar sound he felt at his ankles. There was a thin blue chain around his ankles, which was connected by a chain to the anklet on Mabel’s ankles.

“A gift from Selena and a leash that I will use to strangle you from now on.”

Mabel, who was speaking to him, was still smiling brightly.
