Episode 47. Trembling (2).
“I will be leaving for a moment.
“I’ll be back soon, so please take good care of Mabel.”
Inside the paper Mabel found, there were two short lines of text that were presumed to have been written by Kael.
Huh? This guy just now. He left her with me?
Cloris was dumbfounded when she read the letter…
“Sister, what should I do?”
She couldn’t bring herself to look at the clear, amethyst eyes looking up at her. Instead, she met the child’s eyes and asked affectionately.
“Mabel. Can you write?”
***
The village of Whidin was quiet, as is often the case in villages where people are dying from an epidemic.
No, to be exact, it was quiet.
– Knock- Knock, knock! Knock!
“Stay!!!”
People would knock briskly on the locked door and when they opened the door, they would see a small child who looked to be about 6 or 7 years old.
The child, revealed by the pulled-back robe, had bright pink hair tied up on both sides and eyes that were transparent enough to look through, like amethyst crystals.
The child was wearing large goggles and a mask, so their faces could not be seen completely, but those who saw the child thought that the face underneath the mask must have been lovely.
Behind the child, who was holding a wooden board with several pieces of paper tied together, was Chloris, who had promised to make a cure for the plague.
“My name is Mabel! What’s your name, sir?”
“Ah, sir… .”
“yes?”
“My name is Parson.”
“You’re Mr. Parson. Do you live alone?”
“I have a wife and a child.”
“What are your wife and child’s names?”
The child, who introduced herself as Mabel, asked about the members of the house she had visited and wrote down the answers on a piece of paper placed on a wooden board.
Glance.
People were looking at Chloris as they answered the child’s questions diligently. It was no wonder, because the child’s behavior was exactly the same as when she first visited the village of Whidin.
“We’re dying, we don’t have time to introduce ourselves…!!!”
“Right. I don’t have time. So, tell me your name.”
Those whose symptoms had rapidly worsened over the past three days showed somewhat intense behavior, but Mabel asked for their names again while maintaining a bright smile.
After Mabel asked about the members of the house and their names, Cloris checked on the people’s conditions and prescribed medicine for their worsening symptoms.
“Do you think the medicine you took before is effective?”
“I don’t know.”
“I’ll give you a stronger medicine this time. You just need to take it for about two days.”
The two of them were able to return home only after the sun had set, writing down their conditions and the unfamiliar names of the medicines they were prescribed.
I guess I should say that I’m lucky.
None of the people in Whidin Village were in serious condition that was in danger of dying. Some people seemed to have difficulty moving, but they were able to eat and breathe without any problems.
“You came.”
“Ka…! Dad!!!”
“you…!!!”
When the two arrived home, Kael, who had returned, was sitting at the dining table. The table he was sitting at was filled with food, steaming hot from the food.
Where have you been? What are these foods? There were quite a few questions to ask, but Mabel and Cloris’ stomachs were growling from the smell of food tickling their nostrils after a long day of walking around.
“Let’s eat first.”
Cloris resisted the urge to throw her plate at that calm face and sat down with Mabel, and the late lunch and early dinner began.
“Did you go to the author’s house?”
While eating, Mabel continued to ask Cloris questions she thought she might be curious about.
“It’s not the author, it’s the house.”
“Yeah. Did you go home?”
“That’s right. I just came back with some paperwork that I need to take care of.”
“You haven’t finished all the paperwork yet?”
“Because new documents are created every day.”
Cloris silently cut a thick steak and put it in her mouth, listening to the conversation between Kael and Mabel.
“Do you have to go tomorrow too?”
“No. I’ll bring the documents in advance and stay for two or three days.”
“Then shall we go out together tomorrow?”
“Unless there’s something I need to do, I’ll probably stay in my room.”
Kael also served the child a salad made with vegetables that Mabel had secretly pushed aside, which were bitter but quite healthy. His eyes and movements were indifferent, but that was why his appearance seemed familiar.
Mabel frowned at the bright green salad on her plate, then quickly picked up some vegetables with her fork and swallowed them without even chewing them properly.
“Keeek!!! Kkeuk…!!! Water, water…!!!”
“Tsk.”
Mabel, who had swallowed the long vegetable without chewing it, coughed violently and reached out to Kael. As if he had expected this, Kael put the glass of water next to him in the child’s hand.
“Young-ae.”
Kael called out to Cloris, who was quietly eating the food in front of her while watching him and Mabel.
“Go ahead.”
“As you heard, I’m a bit busy. I would appreciate it if you could move around with Mabel like today, but if you need anything, please call me.”
Instead of answering his question right away, Cloris took the time to moisten her throat with water as if she needed time to think.
– Okay.
Soon, she nodded and accepted the offer, slamming her glass down on the table.
If the villagers’ illnesses got worse, it would be difficult for him to subdue everyone, so he had brought him here as a countermeasure, so there was nothing he had to do right now.
Moreover, she realized that the young lady of the Damier family was more natural than she had thought, and that she showed no hesitation even when dealing with people suffering from infectious diseases.
Still, I was worried that if this young lady continued like this, she would catch an infectious disease. But more importantly, I had to make the medicine in the least amount of time possible.
And from that day on.
Mabel and Cloris’ full-scale treatment began.
* * *
Kael was currently leaning against a tree trunk on the branches of a giant tree, checking documents.
– Palang.
The documents that had been leisurely turning one page after another stopped and Kael let out a short sigh.
“Has it already been a week…?”
After arriving at Whidin Village.
Mabel and Cloris woke up at 6 a.m. and went around to every house in Whidin Village to check up on people.
After the consultation, they had a late lunch and spent their time studying remedies in the small, cramped laboratory they had set up in the attic, while Mabel spent her time hanging out with the town children.
?Can I play with them in the town square??
It was on the third day after arriving in Whidin Village that Mabel asked herself and Cloris that question.
?It’s dangerous to spend too much time together.?
Of course, Cloris, who was unaware of Mabel’s divine power, tried to persuade her nicely, but Kael readily agreed, but only in the center of the village where it was the widest open space.
?You… don’t seem to even think about the danger Mabel could be in.?
That night, Cloris came to me and gave me a sharp rebuke. No matter how well you prepare, it only takes a moment for you to get sick, she said, and what would you do if Mabel caught the disease?
Kael felt that her appearance was completely different from that in the novel.
If it were the end of the original story, then maybe.
It’s still early in the original story. She feels sorry and pity for the sacrificed cow when it’s time to save the family, but she’s not the type of person to worry about just one person.
Is this because Mabel resembles Lars?
Is it because of the cliche of parenting stories where everyone can love Mabel?
?The children of Whidin Village are at an age where they should be going out and running and playing. If we continue to prevent this, they will eventually become dissatisfied, and will the parents of the children who hear those complaints really stay quiet??
The reason he allowed Mabel to hang out with the kids was because he knew in advance that the child wouldn’t get sick, but also because he wanted to delay the inevitable complaints that would come out as time went on.
There is no way she wouldn’t know this obvious fact.
Cloris looked quite shocked by my question. It was a look of self-deprecation, as if she was shocked at herself for not having thought of such an obvious thing.
?Please focus on making the cure, even if it’s just for the sake of Mabel and me who are buying us time.?
With those words, Kael sent Cloris away, and after that conversation, the lights in the attic where she was kept were turned off for shorter and shorter periods of time.
Various combinations of medicines were created by her hands, but a perfect cure was not created. The only hope is that a medicine that can alleviate symptoms was created.
It had been almost two weeks since the first death in the capital. In the original work, the cure was created in about a month, so there were still two weeks left.
The first victim, Tariq, was saved, but since the original story had not changed, the cure would be completed in about two weeks.
“Mabel! What are you going to talk about today?”
“I want to hear the story of the glass slipper princess you told me last time!!!”
“Eh-! I don’t like princess stories!!! I want to hear the Peach Knight story!”
In the quiet village of Whidin, the voices of children that have been heard recently tickled my ears familiarly.
The story of the glass slipper princess.
The Peach Knight Story.
Kael chuckled at the titles that somehow came to mind. He let out a faint smile and turned his head in the direction where the children’s voices were coming from.
– Clap clap!!!
“Okay, Takrang and Sena. Don’t fight!!! Do you remember what I said you would do if I fought?”
As the children began to raise their voices, a child gathered attention by clapping. Mabel spoke sternly with both hands firmly placed on her hips.
Although his strictness was cute, he was the smallest of the children gathered in the center of the village.
“I said I wouldn’t tell you. But…!!!”
“Oh my!!! I’ll tell you two stories in order, so no fighting!!!”
“really?”
“Yeah! But I told you the story about the Snow Princess yesterday. Let’s start with the story about the Peach Knight. Is that okay?”
Takrang and Sena, who had been bickering, nodded, and Mabel, who was holding a magpie, patted the two children on the head and said, “Well done!”
At that moment, a faint light appeared on Mabel’s hand that touched the child’s head, and Kael, who was taking in the sight, sighed again as if he had never smiled before.
Yeah… if it weren’t for that.
