I Grabbed the Tyrant’s Heart - Chapter 126
“I love you. I love you, Mom.”
Fortunately, reflected in the black eyes, I was smiling brightly.
“Thank you for giving birth to me.”
Perhaps she realized that there was really no time, Mom cupped my cheek this time.
“Thank you for living, daughter. Thank you for not forgetting Mom and coming to visit me.”
She whispered quickly in a trembling voice. The tears that had stopped for a moment began to well up again, but she curled her eyes and smiled.
“Thank you for being born as Mom’s daughter. “
“You should be happy.”
I hugged the small body tightly and let go. After kissing her cheek, I ran without looking back.
– This mirror has increased accuracy when going to other worlds, but it is not the only means.
– Then what else is there?
– Water, it is the basis of life and exists in every world.
That’s why the gate to the fairy world is a lake.
In order for me to return to the Northern Empire, there must be a ‘gate’ like the one I passed through when I came here, and a large amount of water is enough to create the conditions to become a gate.
Likewise, it was possible to come here from the Northern Empire, but I didn’t know about this at the time.
The most important thing is to have a strong desire.
“Ho…….”
I arrived at a bridge crossing a large river. Mom would be surprised if an article about me jumping into the Han River were published, right?
I quickly climbed over the railing and flew through the air without anyone stopping me.
Crash!
Where I want to go, the Northern Empire.
A place where the people who are precious to me are.
The cold water clogged my mouth and nose, but I remembered where I had to go back to.
I still couldn’t open my eyes, but at some point my feet touched something solid. As I continued to walk despite the water’s resistance, I began to feel a similar feeling to the black passage I felt before.
I’m on the right track.
As I focused on walking straight, I was able to forget for a moment that I was out of breath.
“Puha!”
When I reached the limit of how much I could hold my breath, I felt as if someone had pushed me, and to my surprise, I was out of the water. This time I just fell helplessly.
“Whoo.”
When I opened my eyes and freed myself from the water that had been weighing down on my body, I saw the Emerald Lake, the entrance to the fairy world. My clothes were soaked, but I didn’t care and leaned my back against the large tree.
“I’m back again…….”
It was a very fleeting moment.
It was a very short time compared to the time spent, but I am satisfied.
“Hello.”
Hello, my past.
With a light heart, I headed to where I would be staying from now on. There were no villages around Guana Mountain, so I had to walk for a while, but my steps felt light.
But the excitement disappeared without a trace at Hardland’s gate. This was because they said they could not open the high and daunting black iron door.
“You cannot see His Excellency unless you make an appointment.”
The gatekeeper, whom I had never seen before, looked me up and down and clicked his tongue.
“I am the daughter of this family. If Father isn’t here, let Mother know that I have come. Or call the butler!”
The gatekeeper acted like he had not heard the command, and I wondered if I should knock him out and then go through the gate.
“Oh my God, they’re here.”
Meanwhile, a carriage approached and I saw the familiar faced coachman.
“Ryder!”
“Who… No, miss!”
Ryder stopped the carriage in surprise and the window opened.
“Ryder, what’s going on?”
“Oh, Master. The Miss is here!”
Before Rider could open the door, the carriage door opened and a figure suddenly hugged me.
“Sister!”
It seemed like it took about two months for me to travel back and forth, but Gael was a hand taller than when I last saw her.
“Euel.”
Traces of time were also visible on Father, who came down after her.
But there was something I had to say before my surprise. My chest, which had always been tight, felt relieved, and what filled it was ticklish affection.
“I’m home.”
Father stiffened for a moment, then smiled, his eyes curling into half moons.
“Welcome back, Euel.”
“I missed you, Sister!”
Gael, who had become almost as tall as me, came towards me, and Father also hugged me at the same time, almost causing me to fall. Gael quickly grabbed my left hand, and Father held my right hand with tears in his eyes.
“Your hands have become much stronger, Gael.”
“I’m learning the sword from Ruby.”
“Is Ruby okay?”
Gael, me, and Father walked slowly from the gate towards the main building.
“Gael, Milen. You’re back… Oh my, Euel.”
Mother, who was standing at the front door didn’t look much different from the last time I saw her, but the way she hugged me was no different from Father.
The butler, the chief maid, and Laura, my direct maid, reacted the same way, and I realized that I had finally returned home.
For the first time in a long time, the family sat together in the living room.
“Three years?”
The story Mother told me made my hand tremble as I held the teacup.
“Yes, Euel. It’s been three years!”
Father hugged me again and cried.
Most of the time was spent going back and forth to Guana Mountain, going up and down the mountain. The time in both the fairy world and my past world would probably be a day?
So one day is 3 years.
I would have had to come back anyway, but if I had stayed there for 10 days, would 30 years have passed?
There was also the assumption that I might not be able to return, but the shock from the actual experience was too much.
“I’m going out.”
“It’s dinnertime now, where do you want to go?”
Father, who was holding my hand tightly, shook his head.
“Euel, you have to eat with Dad. Dad had no appetite during the time because Euel wasn’t around…….”
“Dad, I saw you ate two bowls of rice this morning.”
When Gael spoke with a wide smile, Father avoided my gaze.
“I would rather Father eat well than skip meals because of me.”
“Euel!”
I lightly patted the crying Father’s shoulder, and the crying grew louder as he hugged his adult daughter.
Unlike my serious Father, I laughed and made eye contact with Mother. Mother was not much different from me.
“A father who cries is not cool.”
Father immediately straightened his posture and wiped away his tears. I took advantage of that opportunity and pulled myself out of the sofa.
“Then, I’m going out for a while.”
Father realized that I was trying to pull him away, he opened his mouth and looked hurt, but he smiled.
I put on my cape and headed straight to the palace.
