761 – How About Spirits Instead of Butterflies? – 3

The Spirit King of the Earth’s assurance was broken in three days.

– Spirits have begun to appear in the national cemetery.

“Yes?”

And that’s in a rather bad way, as the national cemetery where the dead are supposed to rest has become a playground for spirits.

I was embarrassed. I believed it because it was a confirmed answer from the Spirit King, not another being, and the basis for the confirmed answer was very persuasive, so I was convinced. But who would have known that that trust would collapse in this way?

Moreover, the lilies the emperor brought were a gift for the late former empress. You should be in front of the Empress’s tombstone by now, so the tombstone of the Empress has suddenly become a hot spot for spirits.

‘No.’

A cold sweat broke out without me knowing. It was the emperor’s choice to take the lily, and the appearance of the spirits was their will. There is no issue in which I was involved in the process.

However, no matter how emperor he is, it will be difficult for him to make a rational judgment when it comes to matters related to his dead mother. If the spirits harbor the thoughts that they have disturbed your mother’s rest, ‘take responsibility and take care of it.’ You can also give an angry command like this. Because I am Constantina and a person who can communicate with the Spirit Kings.

‘They said this wouldn’t happen to other flowers.’

I bit my lip without realizing it.

I feel resentful. I feel resentful towards the Spirit King of the Earth who reassured me. If he had known this would happen, he would have stopped it a little later when he was being squeezed by Teresa.

– I heard that a spirit appeared in Count Tilglehen’s Castle.

“Yes. That happened.”

– Then, the World Tree, the Academy’s flower garden, the Minister’s Mansion, Count Tilglehen Castle, and the National Cemetery. There are five places where spirits live in this empire alone.

The emperor touched his chin and spoke calmly, but my heart never calmed down. He said calmly like that and then said, ‘Now let’s narrow it down to two places.’ You can also say that.

– Minister.

“Yes, you say so.”

– If it increases beyond this, the spirit may leak out to strange places. I would have taken care of it without Jim telling me, but make sure there isn’t a sixth time.

“…Of course, Your Majesty. Don’t worry.”

It was a more ordinary command than I thought, so I ended up answering a beat late.

As the emperor said, I also do not want a new spirit playground to be created. Even if the spirits spread throughout the empire and continent, there will be no discomfort for the spirits, but humans who come into contact with the beings called spirits may have strange feelings. Unfortunately, isn’t it human nature to find a way to use something new when it is discovered?

And that too in a rather bad way. It’s more troublesome than having an awkward encounter with spirits in the bathroom.

‘In that case, it is right to control contact from the beginning.’

And to be honest, no matter how coincidental it is, it is the World Tree that I resurrected. The spirits must be strictly controlled by the imperial family and the Crasius family. I have no intention of leaking this precious thing to someone else.

“Um, Your Majesty?”

– Speak.

“The Spirit King of the Earth assured me that nothing unusual would happen at Sosin’s castle, but I am perplexed that something like this has suddenly happened. Does your Majesty know the reason why a spirit appeared in the national cemetery?”

That’s why he asked the emperor. Do you know why a spirit appeared in the national cemetery?

Knowing the reason can help prevent recurrence. We need to know what happened at the national cemetery and what variables occurred that caused the spirits to appear. Only then will we be able to definitely prevent the sixth.

– That is.

At my question, the emperor furrowed his brows,

– It was difficult to tell the minister, but it could only happen because it was a national cemetery. Jim can assure you of that.

For some reason, I avoided answering and was vague.

This is unexpected. That guy has said things in a twisted way, but he has never withheld essential information related to work. Because I know very well that if I keep quiet, I will only bother myself.

Still, keeping your mouth shut is one of two things. If it is revealed, the authority of the emperor and the imperial family will fall, or it may be a secret that cannot be leaked to anyone.

‘Let’s draw attention.’

It would be difficult to approach either of them any further than this. Isn’t there a way in the world where there is a truth that is convenient when you don’t know it?

– Still, if Jim were to give me some advice, just don’t spill the flowers. That makes me feel at ease.

“I will keep this in mind, Your Majesty.”

I nodded quickly because the advice was full of sincerity.

But. This wouldn’t have happened if the flowers didn’t spread to other places in the first place.

***

The glitter that was found in Taebu’s house. More barnacles I saw on a really big tree.

Those sparkles also appeared in other places.

“Mom! Mom!”

“Why are you doing that?”

“What is Palace Cemetery?”

It was said that sparkles also appeared in a place called Gungnim Cemetery. The maids definitely said so.

He said that unless it was his house or a big tree, he would only see the glitter, but he was wrong. There is glitter everywhere else!

“Our Charlotte. Do you want to go to the national cemetery?”

“Wow! There are glittery people there! It’s great to see them!”

“I see.”

My mom hugged me and stroked my head.

After all, mom’s hands are warm! My hands are good with my dad, but my mom’s hands are the worst!

“It’s difficult. I wonder if it’s okay to go to the cemetery already…”

Mom said something, but she didn’t listen because she was a mate.

“Charlotte.”

“Wow!”

“Do you really want to go?”

“Go and sipper! Look at all the glitter and get curious even though it’s called the Royal Cemetery!”

“Then do you want to go with grandpa?”

“Halabeoji?”

Mom said, and he blinked.

Harabuji. Harabeoji, who lives far away from us for a while. Harabuji raises a lot of animal friends.

When I go, Harabeoji gives me a snack without my mom knowing.

“I want to go!”

“Then let’s go with her grandfather when he goes to the cemetery. Will mom go with us too?”

“Wow! Joe!”

Do it with me and mom! It’s all worth it!

“Then what about Dad!?”

“Dad is busy and it’s hard.”

“Hey…”

Too bad. It’s good to go to Dagachi…

Gachi Gatta with my mother and Harabeoji at Gungnim Cemetery.

What an amazing place! There were a lot of stones I had never seen before, and a lot of glitter! It wasn’t just the little kids who stayed at home all the time, there were older kids too!

The big tree was like this! There is a big tree here too!

“The Crown Princess. It’s dangerous to fall, so don’t run.”

“Wow!”

I put my money on the line with my mom.

As Harabeoji said, if you fall, it will hurt! This place isn’t as soft as the old house, and there are a lot of rocks! It hurts so much!

“Your Majesty the situation.”

So, someone came out who tried to beat up my mom and me.

My sister has the same hair as my dad. A pretty sister, just like my mom and aunts.

“Have you come to see Her Majesty the Empress?”

“That’s right. Her daughter-in-law and granddaughter came with her this time, so the empress will be happy.”

“I see.”

The golden sister who was talking to Hara Burji lowered her head to her mother and me.

“I’d like to meet Her Majesty the Empress and the Crown Princess. My name is Rine, the caretaker of the national cemetery.”

“Raise your head. The dead who sacrificed themselves for the empire can rest in peace thanks to you, so we should instead express our gratitude to you.”

“These are great words.”

“Now, say hello to the Crown Princess too. She is a grateful person.”

“Ugh?”

My mom told me to say hello and I looked at her golden sister.

Ugh, wow?

“Sister!”

“Sister. You can call me Rine at your convenience, Your Highness.”

“By any chance, Atel Ajossi Ara?”

“…Yes?”

When I hit it, it reminds me of Mr. Atel, the golden sister.

Strange! They say we don’t look alike at all, but it reminds me of you! Are you and this sister and Ajo family?

“It’s so hot. Who is that?”

“He’s so big!” He’s so cool! He’s so black!”

“I don’t know. If you think he’s a great guy, you wouldn’t have ever met me.”

“That’s right. “I guess the Crown Princess was mistaken.”

“Greunggaa?”

Her older sister and her girlfriend she are like that!

“First, let’s go to where Her Majesty the Empress is. There are quite a few spirits, but they are also taking care of themselves near the tombstone for the sake of the deceased’s rest.”

“I’m glad. I was worried that spirits’ minds would be different from humans.”

Harabuji and Golden Sister go forward first. My mom and I also followed Harabuji to the place where there was a person named Hangbi.

“Mom. Mom.”

“Why are you doing that?”

“Who is Hang Fe?”

I know Hangje and Hanghu, but this is my first time showing Hangbi!

“This is our grandmother Charlotte.”

“What do you do?”

“Yes, grandmother.”

The thought of going to see my grandmother made me feel happy! Dad said he had a mom, but Harabeoji wondered why he was alone!

My grandmother said it was a strange stone.

“Now, Charlotte. Say hello to her grandmother.”

“Why?”

How do you say hello to Dolhantae? Because I don’t know…

“Grandma is on this stone. She is watching our Charlotte from heaven.”

“Sky? Jinjjyang?”

“Well then. This stone is where her grandmother marked the spot when she ascended to heaven. That way, our Charlotte comes to a place where her grandmother can easily see her.”

Mom said I raised my head and looked at the sky.

“Hello grandma!”

And then she waved her hand towards the sky.

Grandmother! Hi! Are you looking at me!?

“Hehe, yes. Well done.”

“Wow! I’m good at greeting you!”

Mom said I did a good job, and grandma would also say hello to me!

“Are these all spirits?”

“Yes, Your Majesty. Red is fire, blue is water, green is wind, and yellow is earth spirit.”

“It’s like guarding the empress.”

“I guess it means that the spirits recognize a precious person. Isn’t he someone who deserves to be treated well, both in life and in death?”

And Harabuji also touched a stone as if he was saying hello to his grandmother.

Strange. Mom said that Grandma was in the sky one after another? They say that stone was a mark left by the grandmother?

‘Is Harabuji going to heaven?’

It’s disgusting! I want to go too, but I’m going to Harabu!

‘Ugh?’

I tried to touch the stone like Harabeoji, but I could see the flower in front of the stone.

‘It’s so white!’

It’s so pretty!

“Mom! That flower! “You want me to have it too?”

Then my mom stroked my head.

“That’s the flower my grandmother grows. I shouldn’t take it from her, right?”

“Hey…”

If it’s my grandmother’s, I can’t have it. My dad and mom told me not to take other people’s things.

“Jin-jjang, is this your grandmother?”

“That’s right. So no matter how much you like it, you can’t do it. Do you understand?”

“Ugh…”

This time, my mom hugged me.

Now that my mom gave me a hug, I can’t help but feel sorry! And if it’s grandma’s, it’s even better!

“Mom.”

“Why are you doing that?”

“Grandmother. She was a very pretty person, wasn’t she?”

My words are staring at me.

If Harabuji looks at you, I’ll say it right away! After all, the grandmother must have been a pretty person!

“That’s what the Boo is like! If the owner is cute, the things are also expensive! She keeps things carefully, and when it happens, she says the owner is cute!”

“…Did your godfather say that?”

“Wow!”

“The godfather said good things. The godfather was right. The empress was a pretty person.”

Harabuji laughed!

***

When I woke up, a gift came from the imperial palace.

To be exact, a gift came in the name of a situation that was online in Dudeok-ri, on the outskirts of the imperial palace.

‘What is this?’

A strange gift called a rabbit.

Are you saying, “Grow this…” “?” I’m sure it wasn’t a gift sent to you to eat.

‘I guess I could just leave it out in the garden.’

I laughed at the sight of the rabbits looking up at me and pricking their ears.

It is strange that the gift is a rabbit, but it is also strange that the gift is sent suddenly.

‘Did you at least have a good dream?’

Did I just dream that I was rolling around like a dog? Then, he would have been satisfied and would have given him a gift.
