Chapter 28: The Emperor’s Daughter Chapter . 28
That poor thing, yes, I sympathize with him . Fighting! Life wasn’t so grim! Look at me, my daddy had fallen for my charm, and now he couldn’t live without me! Of course, I knew that’s my dream, but… . well, someday I would!
After a moment of staring, Ferdel left the room . At the same time, the office was opened, and a servant entered the lounge .
“Your Majesty, the Count of Sesskullo asked to have a meeting with you . ”
My dad was always busy . I waved .
Bye bye, Papa .
Caitel chuckled when he heard it . Still, he placed me down in the cradle and patted me on the head for a while . It was a very different touch compared to a few months ago .
“I’ll be back soon, so don’t come out . ”
Now that the assassination attempt had been made, even a handmaiden could not enter the lounge without Caitel’s permission . In addition, it also opened the door connected to the lounge . The angle had been adjusted, so I could be seen playing just by turning my head . I heard that people rearranged office just for that .
Anyway, my dad was crazy .
I crawled in the cradle, turned around, and knelt as soon as I fell on my stomach . I couldn’t do this well last month, but it suddenly turned out well now . That’s the mystery of the human body .
I couldn’t wait to walk . I had to work out a lot .
Exercise, exercise .
As I was crawling in the cradle, the closed door to the lounge opened .
What?
I glared at the door with a nervous look, but it wasn’t the assassin who came in .
It was Ferdel .
Ferdel walked carefully and clung to the cradle railings . He peeped at the office across the door and hid in a blind spot, suddenly smiled .
“Ehehe . ”
Wait . I thought he was returning to his work?
I pulled myself back a little, he snapped at my hand and stared at me with shining eyes .
Uh, uh?
“So cute!”
Then he laughed again . I couldn’t help but panic .
… Was he this stupid?
The weather was very nice . I was feeling up to my ears in the sight of a rare temple after a long time .
Outside! It’s a walk! It’s a picnic!
“Bebebe!”
I was in a good mood, so there was a lot of crap going on . I didn’t know, but it was just a meaningless sound for my tongue movement .
However, who liked this nonsense more were these two people who were looking at me . When I tried to say something they thought it was b*llshit and now when I said something meaningless, they liked it?
‘I don’t like you two! Do you know?!’
“Yes, yes . Peek a Boo!”
“Babba!”
“Oh, how cute . ”
‘Do you like it?’
it was annoying, and I wanted to stop now, but this was the happiest time of Elene’s day, so I couldn’t . Serira looked at us both with a warm face .
“Come on, Princess, Gonzi Gonzi . ” (Korean style of playing with baby)
When I repeated the simple act of stabbing the palm of my hand with an index finger, Elene smiled and screamed . Serira made a small beside him .
Mom, did I do well?
“Jamjamjam”
“Jamjamjam!”
My little palms pinched and unfolded . It was a small act, but it was a little difficult to repeat it . I hadn’t moved much, but my arms felt tired already .
‘Oh, I don’t know . I’m still young, so it’s great to do this . ’
“Wow, that’s good . Oh, that’s…!”
Smiling brightly at the sound of praise, Serira patted my head . It was a cat-like act, but the compliment was so good I hit Serira in the arms without realizing it .
‘Ugh, Mom, a little more! A little more! Give me a little more praise . ’
Praises were great . I’m pretty and lovely, huh? Didn’t they think I’m worth praising?
“You’ve got even more charming, my princess . ”
Really? Really?
My nanny smiled as soon as I landed my gaze on her . That smile made me feel better .
“Terra!”
My pronunciation was unclear because my teeth hadn’t fully grown yet, but Serira recognized I called her name . Her eyes were wide open and she was really pretty today .
Oh, it’s not that she was pretty because she was my nanny! With a big smile, I crawled up and knocked on Serira’s legs, sitting on her knees . Serira hugged me with a face wet with emotion . The moist tears settled in her eyes .
“Elene!”
Elene, who was sitting next to me feeling happy, when I called her name, her eyes also opened wide .
I grinned at the two of them . Maybe I would have more maids when I’m older . However, no matter how many maids I would have, these two would still remain special to me . As much as these two people treated me well .
The little Elene turned her head . I tilted my head . Then Elene began to cry, wiping away her tears with her apron . I was frightened .
‘Elene, why are you crying all of a sudden?’
“I think our princess is all grown up now . What if she says she is going to get married?”
“Yes, she is . Time flies . ”
‘Excuse me, you two . I’m still 10 months old . It’s a long way from getting married . ’
I was already tired to think of growing, and they were already drinking Kimchi soup (Korean way to say ‘Don’t count your chickens before they are hatched’) . Ha, we were doing the same thing but had a different purpose .
I couldn’t wait to grow up . Until I was about 4 years old .
Even then, I could walk around, speak human language, and above all, I didn’t have to study! Yeah, I wanted to be 4 years old for the rest of my life .
“Princess-”
Elene, who was cleaning up her eyes, called me . I was in Serira’s arms and looked back at Elene . Elene’s eyes were still reddening . It made me cringe again .
‘Yeah, you used to like me when I hated you, but I must have gotten caught up in it too . ’
I don’t like it when I see Elene crying .
I reached out to her and hugged her . Elene was looking at me and didn’t know what to do . Her face was full of anxiety .
“What should I do? She is so cute I can’t hand her to anyone . I want to keep her in my arms for the rest of my life . ”
Hey, that’s a crime .
“I will watch over the princess, so go wash your face . Your face is terrible . ”
“Is it too much?”
‘Yes . It’s a bit harsh . ’
Elene smiled as I nodded . When one cried and smiled, they get horns on their butt . Oh, I hated myself for worrying about it . Oh, but I’m seriously worried .
“Then, Princess, I’ll be back then . ”
I nodded and crawled out of Elene’s arms . Both of them looked at me with many emotions .
‘Hehe, I’m good at it by myself now!’
Watching Elene running to get back soon, I crawled to the place where my toy was . Serira ensured not to let my knee slip for a moment .
When I went to the end of the mat on the lawn of the temple and sat down, my nanny smiled at me . Seven months ago, she was a woman with a lot of shade on her face, but now she looked like a totally different person . It was a little strange .
“Eit”
She turned her eyes to my voice . Her eyes curved as she smiled . I smiled back at her .
Serira confirmed I was playing well and sat close to me and gave a look at the book she had brought .
A cool breeze was blowing . Not cold, but cool, serene as if submerged in water . Serira laughed when our eyes met again for a while . Of course, I laughed, too .
I liked her doing her job while taking care of me like a normal mother . From one point, perhaps after I managed to play by myself, Serira began knitting, cross-stitching and reading . It was just a small work after she started taking care of me, but it was nice to say she was not living her life entirely for me now . Of course, if I were a real baby, I’d yell for attention .
“Uh, huh?”
‘Wait, toy, where are you going?’
The round-looking toy I accidentally dropped rolled around . I was so embarrassed I put my mouth together . What should I do? I think I could catch it if I crawl a little . Hmm…
I looked back at Serira for a moment, but I didn’t want to disturb her when I saw her so absorbed in the book . Yeah, well, I was not an ordinary baby, and I was just crawling for a while, right? I fell on my stomach right away and began to crawl .
‘Pretty yellow ball, where are you going! Play with me!’
The ball rolled quickly and soon the acceleration of its rolling slowed and stopped eventually . I crawled to where the ball was . The feeling of touching the grass with my hands was itchy .
I sat down and smoothed the ball into my arms, and I looked around . I didn’t know because I only cared about the ball, but the scenery had changed .
Was it too far? Where was I?
“So what I’m saying is, he’s performing a really strong wave . ”
“Is that so? I didn’t feel that . ”
Uh, it’s a human voice .
That’s two men . Huh? One voice sounded familiar .
Who was it?
As I stretched out my head, I noticed two people walking along the walking path of the Temple .
Uh, it’s Ferdel!
He sounded familiar, and it was actually someone I knew . I didn’t know if it was Ferdel .
“You’ve never forgotten who the Northern nobles pledged their allegiance to out there . No matter how much you proclaim to me that you are the head of the Southern aristocracy, there is a limit to the amount of public backlash we can contain . Like this, someday…”
“One day the regime falls . Is that what you’re trying to say?”
His answer was as sly as his smile . This made me confused again after remembering what I saw of him last week . I wondered if he was really the same person who sneaked behind my father’s back to hold my hand and smiled like a fool .
“It was the imperial sphere who drew the first blood anyway . ”
The person he’s talking with was a man I had never seen before . The man with pale blond hair was talking with dark clouds over his head as he continued on with the conversation .
“No . ”
On the other hand, Ferdel’s face was full of laughter . Of course, his smiles were the same when he looked at me, but now, his laughter was something different .
I meant, yeah, he had something sharp .
“It was a bloodstained throne, to begin with . There was not a single honor in it . ”
What was on Ferdel’s face was contempt . It was the same feeling I had once seen in my father’s .
Maybe it’s called disgust, that’s it .
The other side could not add anything . I was suffocated by his cold expression, and how stifled the opponent who faced it himself must have been . I was sorry to peek, but I guessed it was unnecessary .
I came out looking for a ball . What’s with this situation?
