<Episode 156: Side Story (20)>
After eating all the cotton candy, Daniel's mouth and hands were covered in sugar.
Still, the sight of Daniel smiling brightly at Emily was so lovely.
But if it were left like this, it would continue to be sticky, and his hands and clothes would get dirty, so she wanted to wipe it off for the child.
"This."
Emily sat Daniel down on the bench in front of her. A drinking fountain happened to be visible across the street.
“Would you mind sitting here for a moment? I’ll get some water on a handkerchief.”
“Yes, I understand.”
When Daniel nodded confidently, Emily, relieved, crossed to the other side. Even as she dabbed water on her handkerchief, Emily kept her gaze fixed on the child.
That was when.
A man approached Daniel and started talking to him, then suddenly grabbed the child's wrist and dragged him away.
The child was seen holding onto him tightly, refusing to move.
At the same time, a carriage stopped in front of the two men. It looked as if a child was being kidnapped.
Emily, who witnessed the whole scene with her own eyes, immediately took out a revolver from her bag and fired three shots in succession at the carriage.
People, startled by the sudden flying magic bullets, rushed out of the carriage in a panic.
'Two people were coming out of the carriage. So, three in total.'
Emily, who had figured out the kidnapper's number, quickly opened the cylinder, filled it with magic bullets, and inserted them.
She shot magic bullets at the legs of the two people who were still struggling, one after the other, immobilizing them.
“Oh my god!”
“Ugh!”
The two men rolled on the floor, screaming in pain.
After making sure they were unarmed, Emily aimed her gun at the head of the man holding Daniel.
And then she started to approach slowly.
She hid the article at the restaurant so as not to show her fear in front of the child, but it was pointless.
“Send the child this way.”
As she spoke, Emily first checked on Daniel's safety. Although he must have been quite shocked by the situation, thankfully, Daniel remained calm, not crying or struggling.
No, rather, it seemed like his eyes sparkled because he thought it was cool to see his mother shooting a gun.
"Would you believe I'm crazy? A woman would even dare to hold a gun."
He clicked his tongue, as if he was in awe. He'd planned to kidnap a rich young master and get a big chunk of his profit, but it turned out to be an unexpected ambush.
“What is your purpose? Is it money?”
“Yeah, you’ll have to pack it really thick.”
But now that he had taken the hostage, he was the one with the advantage. The man brazenly responded to Emily's words.
“Well, if you make me feel better, I’ll give you a discount.”
“How dare you say such vulgar things in front of a child?”
As Emily turned the cylinder to fire, her gaze fixed on him, the man chuckled and pulled a small, sharp knife from his pocket.
"You'd better put the gun down. You don't want to see the kid get hurt."
And then he swung it wildly and threateningly.
It was nothing more than a hostage situation involving such a trivial thing. Emily been trained in over 50 different ways to deal with it. So subduing him immediately wasn't a problem.
However, the only thing that mattered now was the safety of the hostage, Daniel. So, Emily extended her hand to reassure him, then slowly lowered her gun.
Just before she put it down on the floor, she turned the angle and aimed to shoot at his shoulder.
"Hey."
Then, contrary to everyone's expectations, Daniel suddenly started acting impulsively.
“What is it, kid?”
“You guys, be careful.”
"Yes?"
Daniel, who was startled by the childish, dangerous gaze and atmosphere, suddenly turned around and kicked the man's shin hard.
Emily was startled by the sight. Meanwhile, the man, who had been attacked completely unexpectedly, fell forward with a groan.
As soon as the man's face came right up to his nose, Daniel didn't hesitate and poked his eyes with his fingers.
“Ugh!”
The man, who had been injured from his lower legs to his upper body, fell to the floor, covering his face, and began rolling around.
“Daniel...”
Emily quickly ran to her son and hugged him tightly, her heart still pounding with shock.
“How did you do it?”
“My father taught me self-defense.”
Just like when Emily's father taught her about guns... Emily's eyes welled up with tears.
“Emily! Daniel!”
Killian, who knew somehow, was running towards them, calling their names.
"Honey?"
Emily woke up, wiping her tears.
“Ugh...”
The man who had just collapsed noticed Killian's appearance and started feeling around on the floor for his sword.
But Emily, who noticed the sight first, moved first.
“Just a moment, Daniel.”
'I wanted to destroy the hand that dared to point a knife at my son.'
Emily covered the child's eyes and ears with one arm, reloaded her revolver, and fired a magic bullet at the man's wrist.
A scream, incomparable to the one before, echoed throughout the surroundings.
"Ha."
Killian, who had arrived in front of them, hugged the two of them.
When Ivan drove the carriage to the Rose Garden, he assumed the two were also there. Fortunately, I realized they were there, albeit belatedly.
And when they heard Emily's gunshot, the security forces came running towards them.
“Oh my, Your Excellency the Duke of Velvet!”
The knight who recognized Killian's face recognized him and saluted in shock.
“What is happening in broad daylight in a safe neighborhood?”
He spoke in a trembling voice at Killian's murderous tone.
“I’m sorry... Judging by their attire, they don’t seem to be from our empire.”
Of course, the people of the Empire couldn't have failed to recognize Emily and Daniel. So, wouldn't something like this happen in a park in broad daylight?
“We need to properly investigate whether there is a mastermind behind this and how these guys got here.”
"All right."
Of all people, they had to do this to the Duchess Velvet. The knights, furious at the prospect of their own superiors being crushed, roughly dragged the culprits away.
"Dad."
Daniel stretched out both arms towards Killian.
“Dad, I’m tired and want to go home. Can you carry me?”
How long has it been since a child called him "Dad" or acted like this?
"Yes."
Killian lightly carried Daniel on his back with a smile on his face.
Emily patted Daniel's back a few times, surprised, and then linked arms with Killian.
After walking like that for a few minutes, Daniel, relieved by his father's broad back, fell into a deep sleep.
Emily felt incredibly relieved that nothing had happened. If it weren't for Killian, things wouldn't have turned out this way.
She felt happy that everything was working out well.
"How long has it been since the three of us walked down the street like this? Kylie would probably be jealous if she found out."
“I was even more jealous of the sight of Roger and the three of you eating together.”
At Killian's words, Emily playfully punched him in the arm.
“It was you, after all. It felt like someone was watching us.”
“At the table in front of me, the three families were all talking about how beautiful they were.”
Emily said, leaning her face against his arm.
"It's nice to see you jealous after such a long time. I'll have to make you jealous again next time."
At those words, Killian looked down at Emily with a resentful look.
“Do you know that in times like these, you are more of a villain than Messina?”
“Oh my! Really?”
Emily let out a soft laugh and sighed happily. Her heart still pounded whenever she was with him.
She liked Killian, who always loved her the most.
“Honey, I love you.”
Killian's ears turned red as he stared dumbfounded at his wife's sudden confession. Anyway, when his wife acted like this, he felt like he wanted to argue, but he was left speechless.
“I love you too, ma’am.”
He was always the weak one in front of Emily.
“I love you too, Mom and Dad.”
Daniel, who they thought was sleeping, suddenly confessed from behind.
The couple, who were startled by the child's voice and were speechless, made eye contact and soon burst into laughter.
Both of them spoke to the child at the same time.
“We love you too, Daniel.”
