Chapter 48 - Im Willing To Be A Tyrant

48. Im Willing To Be A Tyrant

Elder Clements mouth was stuttering with my confident nagging.

Yelium is passed down in the Holy Kingdom from King to King for generations

You thaid ith mine. Wha awe you twaking it away fwom me (You said its mine. Why are you taking it away from me)

As I pretended to be upset and dropped my eyes, my father, who was watching silently, sharpened his eyes.

How dare you youre messing with my daughter?

I cheered inside with my daddys unexpected intervention.

Nice timing!

As expected, Elder Clement began to stutter in great confusion.

W-when did I mess with her Majesty-.

If you dwont give wath mine, Ah wont chwange ma name! (If you dont give whats mine, I wont change my name!)

I gave a critical hit.

However, the conditions sent were clearly recognized-.

Ah dwont know anythwing abowt that! Retuwn whath mine! (I dont know anything about that! Return whats mine!)

Ah, um, that

Youwe a thwief! You twook whath mine! (Youre a thief! You took whats mine!)

I began to shout recklessly. Elder Clement was embarrassed and disapproving. When Gustav recommended ending the conversation, he quickly left the bedroom as we had waited.

He weft. (He left.)

Hihi. When I smiled satisfactorily, my daddy lifted me up and put me on his lap.

As expected of my daughter. Youre so smart.

Thath wight. Ahm smart. (Thats right. Im smart.)

Even if I am a figurehead, its been two years and several months since Ive lived in this world.

Ahem. I havent been living for nothing during that time.

As it was diplomatically intertwined, the issue wouldnt be resolved like this, but I was satisfied that I had chased away Abelardos elder.

Theres a way to guarantee my position and rights in the Holy Land instead of recognizing my identity. Ill feed you well.

While I was thinking about this and that, I suddenly remembered the face of the person I forgot about.

Papa.

Yes, Mabel. Its Papa.

Whewe did Othcar gwo? I dwont thwee him. Did he gwo to the Duchy? (Where did Oscar go? I dont see him. Did he go to the Duchy?)

I hadnt seen Oscars face since I opened my eyes. If he knows Im awake, hell come running right away, but I got scared when he didnt come.

Did something happen to him?

I looked at my daddy with worried eyes. He then sighed and patted my head.

Oscar seems to have a concern lately. Hes been swinging his sword everyday. I let him be and watched first.

Conthern? What conthern? (Concern? What concern?)

Hes still a young child, what kind of concern does he have to be so focused on training?

I looked at Daddy persistently, but he kept avoiding my eyes. Something that I cant be told mustve happened to Oscar.

I dont think Daddy will tell me anything, so Ill go see if hes okay.

***

In Lissandros arms, we arrived at the entrance of the training grounds. I didnt even go in yet, but I heard the sound of wind slashing.

It seems that he is still training.

Let mwe down. (Let me down.)

After stepping on the ground, I immediately jumped into the training ground.

In a vacant spot at the end of the training ground, Oscar was wielding a wooden sword. His body was covered with sweat and sand. Oscar usually had a smile on, but the Oscar wielding a sword had no expression.

Ive never seen that face.

The guy with an intensive expression enthusiastic about training didnt even notice that I was watching.

Othcar! (Oscar!)

When I called his name, his eyes opened wide and looked back at me.

Clang!

The sword in Oscars hand dropped, perhaps because his hands got weak. I smiled and waved my hand as I walked toward Oscar. But.

?!

Oscar suddenly turned around and started running.

W-why is he suddenly running away?

In a panic, I watched the scene of Oscar from a distance and began to run after him. Of course, I couldnt catch up to Oscar with my short legs.

Othcaar!

Dont come, Mabel!

Whyyy!

Hek hek.

I even ran with all my might, but it wasnt good enough. Oscar gradually became a dot and disappeared.

The waddling me stopped-.

Thump!

I tripped over a stone.

Euang. Ith huwts (Euang. It hurts)

It hurt so much that tears came out. I sobbed for a moment and wiped my tears with my sleeve.

This is your second life, dont cry because you fell.

My knees were stinging from the fall.

Aigu. (Aigoo.)

I was going to get up, but a dark shadow fell over me. As I looked up, Oscar was looking down at me with a dark expression.

Mabel. Are you okay?

Ung.

Grab my hand and get up.

I held Oscars hand without hesitation. His body flinched. As soon as I stood up, Oscar hurriedly t
