Chapter 76: The Emperor’s Daughter Chapter . 76
I would love to stay at Bolcena every day, but I shouldn’t bother Silvia, who’s pregnant, too much . Therefore, I had to stay at the royal palace once or twice a week .
It’s not easy to take care of a baby while pregnant . It was the same even though I was a cute and a good baby .
“So, Princess, what should we play today?”
“Game!”
“Then what kind of game should we play?”
I didn’t know . Honestly, shouldn’t she be the one coming up with ideas? Did I have to invent new games at this age? Well, we did have to play every single day, so Serira must be out of ideas… I understood that much .
“Since Graecito is here, how about we play hide and seek?”
Hide and seek? He was startled after hearing what Serira said . He seemed to hate it so much . Ugh, it wasn’t enough to hate me for two days? Well, it’s not like I could ignore him now .
I didn’t want to hang out with him too!
I got tired of this fight we had been having over and over . Sinc he’s so young, he showed his hate in such a straightforward manner .
It’s all Serira’s fault!
“Then, I’ll be it . Elene, Rabbit, and Serira can hide . ”
Serira turned her head in my answer . She was looking at Graecito . It made me felt sad to see that again .
Oh, yeah, what could I do? I was born as someone weak to Serira . I would have to sacrifice myself for her . They suddenly became a loving mother and son, hiding in the same place, but it’s better than being apart .
“Then let’s go play in the garden!”
Elene seemed excited about the hide and seek . When would she grow up? However, I liked how innocent she was, so I wished she could keep that . Well, I would be a little annoyed if she actually did that .
“Let’s go to the garden!”
As I came out dressed warmly so as not to catch a cold, I immediately felt that winter was approaching . Of course, the winter tree’s protection did not make it so cold, but should I say that the scenery was different? Dry branches were all rancid except for winter trees and a few coniferous trees . Among them was a hot-tree that was the best firewood in the winter . When I brought my hand to the tree I could feel warmth in my hand, and looking at it, I shouted at the top of my voice .
“Now, I’m going to begin!”
I heard the sound of movement behind me, so I put my hand on the tree and counted the numbers . Did I have to count from 10?
“Ten! Nine! Eight! Seven!”
I was such a genius for memorizing numbers already . Although nobody noticed . Anyway, to think that I’d have fun playing old games like this . At this rate, my mind would slowly degrade, and I might really become a child .
“Six! Five! Four!”
However, the big problem was something else, and it was the fact that this old game was as much fun than when I initially remembered it .
“Three! Two! One! Done!”
When I was young, I used to play with my friends like this . When I was a high school student, I spent the rest of my lunchtime playing like this . One Card, statues, and so on . The nostalgia I felt after playing this game just got me really excited .
I turned away from the tree .
“Ready or not, here I come!”
Due to the rule that no one should go outside the garden, there was a limited number of places to hide anyway . Where should I go first? I was about to go to the river, but I just moved my foot .
I would go where I had never been to before!
