Chapter 36: The Emperor’s Daughter Chapter . 36
Today was the day I finally grew a year older .
To be exact, I was now two years old here .
I was two years old . Me, being two years old!
I bit my lips in a strange mood by counting my age with my fingers .
‘Mommy, I’m two years old now!’
I was old enough in my past life . I had already forgotten the excitement of my own birthday . My busy life often made me forget about it . I felt happy when someone was celebrating my birthday . I really appreciated the gift I was given .
The fact that day was the day I was born was meaningless, and the fact that I was born was more important than the day of my birth . It wasn’t a problem for me to celebrate the wrong day as my birthday .
Why did I live so insensitively? Well, I was old enough, and I didn’t want to feel that I was getting older . Anyway, I wasn’t so excited or happy because my birthday was coming…
“My princess, are you that happy? You woke up earlier than usual, and you seem to be in a good mood . ”
Serira smiled softly . To that smile, I laughed and clapped . I clapped when I was really happy .
Serira lightly kissed me on the forehead .
I thought my innocence was gone, but I guessed it was still there . A low beating thrill spread through my blood . I felt a little sweet .
“Now, you have to get ready for the party . His Highness is holding this birthday party just for you, Princess . ”
“Okay!”
Serira chuckled as I nod my head . I loved her smile too .
I couldn’t walk properly yet, but it was possible to stand . Every time I did something like that, I felt so accomplished .
This was how it feels to grow, huh? It was strange . The days when I was lying on my belly and unable to do anything felt like it was yesterday . However, look at me, I could walk now!
“You’ve grown bigger . ”
Uh, this voice?
Looking up, I saw Dranste smiling at me . I usually didn’t like his smug smirking, but for some reason, today… he looked quite handsome .
“It’s your birthday today, right?”
“Yes!”
‘I thought you didn’t know, but thanks for remembering my birthday . ’
I didn’t expect anything, but I was more than happy to know someone would remember my birthday .
Tsk, I would forgive him for all the flirtings he did for now .
I nodded with a serious face, and he laughed .
‘Why are you laughing? Stop laughing at me!’
“You’re really funny . ”
Oh, really!?
He laughed louder when he looked at my face .
Hey, stop making me mad .
I was staring at him with a discontented look, but it didn’t work on him . In the end, Dranste laughed as much as he wanted .
He’s being really cheeky! Here I thought he was being quiet today .
Our eyes met for a moment . I really wanted to pinch that smiling mouth .
Hey, why wasn’t he visiting these days? He used to visit me often when I was younger . Did he get mad because I always scolded him?
“Were you sad that I wasn’t around to hang out with you?”
Not at all .
I pulled his hand out of my head, and I stepped back .
I think it would be better for him to disappear in front of me right now . Why did he keep touching me?
I was wary enough of him, but Dranste lowered his body and had eye contact with me . He then patted me on the head .
Stop touching me, you pervert .
“I had some business to take care of, so I’d like to spend my days with you here if I can . ”
You’d like to spend your days…?
I looked at him with a sullen look, and he smiled .
“…But I’m a busy man . ”
Oh, was he now?
My face stiffened . Oh, really? Then he could get lost now . I was a busy woman, too . This jerk . How could I be known for mistreating him so well?
What a difficult question .
I shook my head and reached out to Serira next to me, but Dranste held my hand before Serira noticed .
What, why!?
As soon as I looked at him, I caught something hard in my little hand . Huh?
“Take this . ”
What was this?
Looking at it out of curiosity, it was a moon-shaped gem .
It’s pretty . Was this obsidian?
I sat straight and looked at the gem closer . Dranste sat in front of me . I looked up at him primly, and he rolled the jewel in my hand .
Huh?
It turned into different colors when rolling it . Wow, it’s pretty .
“Happy birthday . ”
“Purdy!”
Pretty!
Serira turned her head this way because of the loud noise I unconsciously made .
Uh, uh, what should I do? Ha, haha .
I smiled awkwardly, and Serira smiled back . Serira looked my way for a while . When she found out that nothing was wrong with, she turned her head back .
Phew, that was close . It could have been a disaster .
Was this a brooch?
“No . ”
Dranste, who was watching me playing it answered . I was a little annoyed by his dry reply .
What’s this then?
“Well . I don’t know . ”
Did he want me to beat him up? I stared at him, annoyed . He smiled in return .
Oh, it’s so annoying . I wanted to be nice to him, but he always made me mad .
Let’s talk about this when I grew older . I would punch you in the face .
Even though I was seriously threatening him, Dranste just laughed . It was annoying because it seemed like he was holding his laugh .
“Wait, wait! This is it, this . ”
What’s that?
With my angry stare, Dranste’s hand turned to my ear with his own gift .
Huh? It’s an earring, but I didn’t have my ears pierced .
“I know . ”
You still gave me an earring knowing that? Did he really want a beating from me?
I was really thinking about having a deep external conflict with him, but he smiled . It was his usual terrible smile .
“Here, this is how you put it on . ”
What are you doing? Ouch!
At that moment, I felt a prick in my ear . I made a sound and frowned, but I was more surprised because I wasn’t ready for it .
Oh, really, you should have warned me!
“Here . ”
However, the moment I raised my head to lash at him, I forgot what I had to do . Because…
“Purity!”
He pushed a mirror in front of me .
Oh, he’s smart .
