Episode 54. You and I are different (2).

“Kael…?”

Mabel, who was in Kael’s arms, could hear him mumbling something in a whisper.

Your future and his future are different?

And how lucky for you?

What the heck?

Unable to understand what he was saying, I called his name again and lifted my face from where it had been buried on his shoulder.

He saw the dark purple eyes that were still indifferently directed at him. Perhaps because it was still dark, his already dark eyes looked like black, and his face was completely reflected in them.

“You’re ugly.”

Kael blurted out as he looked up at Mabel, who was looking up at him.

Red, flushed eyes and tears flowing down like a faucet. Looking at those tear-soaked cheeks, I’m not telling you not to cry, but I’m telling you you’re ugly.

His words were as usual.

At the same time, it was an out-of-place statement in the current situation because it was no different from usual.

– Knock. Knock.

Kael patted Mabel on the back.

Feeling his touch, which seemed more like a touch than a pat, Mabel tried to look out the window again.

The silence that came from the moment he appeared.

It was as if I was lying to myself that what I had just seen was a dream. But Mabel never looked out the window again.

“Don’t do useless things.”

“but….”

“It’s still time for the child to sleep.”

Kael’s words were different from Mabel’s words that she was not a child. He pressed the back of Mabel’s small head with a small force so that her head, which was about to turn around, rested on his shoulder again.

“When you wake up, the situation will be sorted out.”

Kael’s low, cool voice brought back Mabel’s sleep that had been hidden. When the drowsiness that she thought she had fully awakened came over her, Mabel tried to keep her eyes open, but her young body, relieved by the comfort of the embrace and the comfort of the familiar voice, closed her eyes.

“Sleep well.”

Somehow affectionate. After hearing his good night greeting for the first time, Mabel fell asleep in his arms.

Small, even breathing echoed through the quiet room, and Kael looked at Mabel, who was sleeping in his arms, for a moment before approaching Cloris, who was looking at them.

“…You used a sleeping spell?”

Kael didn’t answer Cloris’ question about why Mabel had fallen asleep so quickly. He simply handed the child from his arms to hers.

“I would be grateful if you could take me to the attic and let me sleep there.”

“you are?”

“I told Mabel that things would be sorted out, so I have to keep my word.”

Because lying to a child is bad.

At Kael’s voice that was added slowly, Cloris made a dumbfounded expression as if someone who seemed to be better at lying than any other author she had ever met was saying such things.

The room was quiet due to the sound-blocking spell he had cast. However, the outside world was still incredibly noisy. People shouted out their evil words as if their ears were hurting even though they couldn’t hear them. People swinging their weapons at the wall were all captured in Chloris’s eyes.

“…What do you plan to do with them?”

“Don’t you already know the quickest way to resolve this situation, Young-ae?”

Cloris didn’t answer. Instead, she carefully sat up from her position in the bed, making sure not to disturb Mabel in her arms.

“Please make sure to clean up after yourself.”

“I was thinking of doing it without you saying anything. Please take good care of Mabel.”

She passed him by.

Even though it was obvious that there would be no scent, Cloris thought she smelled a very strong, bloody smell as he passed her.

– Okay.

The door closed, and Kael closed his eyes for a moment, taking a deep breath and exhaling. When he opened them again, he saw Tariq running behind the villagers who were running wild like beasts that had lost their minds.

“Ah, I wish I had brought you along.”

Kael muttered as he gained a small epiphany, and then he lightly snapped his fingers. In an instant, his figure disappeared, and Kael appeared behind the bewildered people.

“Huk, hmph… Phew. Master.”

“You must have had a hard time running.”

“No, you, young lady?”

“I put her back to sleep and left her in the care of Flora Youngae.”

Kael and Tariq exchanged light words, even as they felt the hostile gazes directed at them.

“You… you’re a wizard, right? You’re the one who created this wall? Get rid of this wall right now!!!”

“If you don’t get rid of it, I’ll kill you!!!”

Even with the harsh words pouring down, the two of them showed no sign of agitation.

“You said you put her to sleep again… Are you saying that you also saw this sight?”

“Ah, that’s right. I saw and heard their behavior and the words they uttered. I had a hard time trying to calm them down when they were crying.”

The girl cried.

At those words, Tariq’s blue eyes flashed red for a moment, then subsided in an instant.

Not yet. My master has not given me any orders yet. I must not act under the influence of emotions.

Kael, who was watching Tariq like that, lightly patted his back.

“You’ve become quite the escort knight.”

“What are they planning to do? Is it okay if I ask?”

“There is a very simple way.”

Kael’s lips twisted as he looked at the villagers who looked like they were going to attack at any moment.

“Just show me an example.”

Yet, their night is not over.

* * *

The sun rose.

When the hazy sky turned blue, Mabel opened her eyes in her room, looked up at the ceiling of her room that had become quite familiar, blinked, threw back the blanket, and left the room.

“As expected. The ugly face has become even uglier.”

If it were normal, he would have been furious. Mabel couldn’t properly hear Kael’s voice, which had been spewing harsh words at people since the morning.

Without even thinking about closing the door I had just opened, the child opened his mouth at the sight he saw.

“Ka… Ka, Kael? Th, th, what is this situation?”

Mabel asked Kael, who was sitting on a chair that she didn’t know where she came from, stuttering.

As if what happened a few hours ago wasn’t a dream.

As if it wasn’t a lie. Those who had been pounding the transparent wall and spewing harsh words at me were all kneeling, lined up in rows and columns with their heads buried in the ground.

To the child’s question

“I told you that things would be sorted out if you were sleeping. Didn’t you hear?”

Before I fell asleep. It wasn’t that I didn’t remember what he said. The problem was that the situation was resolved beyond my common sense.

“By the way, everyone is keeping their mouths shut.”

As Kael, who had been looking at Mabel who was stammering and unable to speak, spoke softly, those who had been lying down as if dead raised their heads.

“Hey, Miss Mabel…! I’m sorry…!”

“I’m sorry. I’m sorry. I’m sorry…”

“We dared to be rude to you, young lady. We apologize…!!!”

“I would also like to apologize to Miss Cloris. I am truly, truly remorseful!!!”

The voices of many people echoed in front of the house and throughout the town. Woody, who had been yelling at Mabel, and Rika, who had been bringing up the child, were also among them.

Their appearance changed so much that it was hard to believe that they were the ones who had been pouring out evil intentions on them.

How can something like this change in just a day… no, a few hours…?

Mabel couldn’t accept the situation. Rather, she felt that the situation was strange. It actually caused her fear.

The child hesitated and took a step back.

“stop.”

At that moment, Kael’s voice rang out briefly.

People’s voices too. Mabel’s backpedaling stopped at his voice.

“Mabel.”

Kael looked at the child, calling Mabel.

Mabel also faced Kael at his call.

“This is where you belong. This is where you will be.”

So, don’t be afraid of these people, and don’t be scared.

Because I feel like I know the gossip that isn’t being heard.

Mabel bit her lip.

?You may not understand it yet. But something like today will happen again someday.?

I remembered what Kael had said to me.

He was warning me.

The surname I was given, ‘Du Damier’, meant that I would face many such incidents.

At the same time, it was comforting.

Whenever something like this happens, I know I’ll be by your side.

No, maybe it would be more accurate to say that there will be others who give for you…?

Mabel took a step back. She walked out as fast as she could.

So far so good.

This was his maximum.

The child opened his mouth slowly.

“… I won’t hold you responsible for this incident. There must be children waiting for you. Everyone, please go back.”

People flinched at Mabel’s words and looked around. To be exact, they looked at Kael.

“What are you guys doing?”

As his voice rang out once more, the people moved.

“thank you!”

“Thank you. Thank you. Miss Mabel!!!”

The outpouring of gratitude towards me felt terribly bitter. Those who could not move properly due to their illness staggered away one by one.

Mabel’s clear purple eyes, looking at the empty house, were filled with tears. However, no tears fell. Mabel lifted her arm and wiped her eyes. She looked at Kael, who was looking at her, and smiled.

“That’s right!!! I decided to give out snacks to the kids today! I’ll go to my room and get some snacks!!!”

“okay.”

Mabel entered the house with a light jump.

The door opened and closed softly, and Kael turned his gaze to Cloris, who was appearing from the attic.

It was as if he had known her since Mabel had woken up, as if he had been watching her.

“You didn’t kill him.”

Cloris said quietly.

Kael shrugged as he heard the voice that was nothing more than a whisper.

“If you just listen to Youngae, you’ll think I’m going around killing people indiscriminately.”

“I misunderstood. I’m sorry.”

A neat apology followed, along with words admitting his misunderstanding.

“If you hadn’t said anything, there would have been no need to apologize.”

Kael wondered why Cloris had bothered to talk to him. He knew that she wasn’t the type of person to say random things for no reason.

Cloris’s gaze turned mysterious at his question, and soon she let out a sigh.

“Yes. I was wondering how you, or rather your Highness, would handle the situation. I thought the quickest way would be to kill you.”

At Chloris’s continued words, Kael thought, “Well, that’s right.” and then said how he had sorted out the situation.

“Just show me.”

“What?”

“It’s an overwhelming force.”

“Why are you asking such an obvious question?” Kael answered.

“Those who have lost their reason easily succumb to overwhelming power. Power so strong that they cannot even resist. This is the easiest way to restore their lost reason.”

It was fortunate that they were ordinary village people.

Cloris frowned at the leisurely addition.

“What if there was someone stronger than you, Your Majesty?”

“Well, I don’t think you asked that question because you wanted to hear the answer.”

Cloris could tell without even hearing the answer.

The one in front of me would have killed the strong one by any means necessary. Even if it meant taking another weaker person as a hostage. I don’t know what he’s hiding. But he’s also hiding more than I thought.

“… The medicine will be completed within a day or two.”

With those words, she turned away completely. The conversation was over.
