Baby Princess Through Status Window
Chapter 12's
Karmen's expression stiffened at the mention of 'drugs', however, Sievian thought that he might just assume that he was going to use the wrong medicine.
"You're a good man, Karmen."
Sierra understood his concerns.
The true effects of the Cassia flower will only be revealed a few years from now.
"It's used as a fever reducer, but ..."
"Yes!"
[Others: +100]
As he said, the flower was often used as a cure for fever, but therefore it was not widely used because of its minimal effect.
There are other herbs that work better for fever than Cassia flowers, especially since Cassia needs to be raised with mana.
"That's how it is, at least."
A few years later, the real effects of the flower will be revealed. It is only a fever reducer for adults, but for children, the effect is more beneficial.
In particular, it is effective for fevers of unknown cause, known as 'children's fever'.
“Well, it's non-toxic, I guess. Here it is.”
"Thank you!"
[Others: +100]
"…It's okay."
He quickly picked up the five plucked Cassia flowers in his hand. Ellie would be disappointed that her clothes were dirty, but Siervian did not mind for now.
He just hoped this would be enough to help his sister.
'...I think Ellie's brother has that fever.'
Siervian vividly remembers Ellie talking to another waitress on the day when the flower's effects were revealed.
It is the same fever as a cold for children, but deadly for others. It takes time to recognize this disease.
[Karmen Kasselov]
Mind: Damn, your clothes are getting dirty. I should have wrapped the flowers in a robe first.
But Karmen who was worried about her clothes was in a worse condition because she was the one digging out the roots.
Reading his thoughts, Siervian broke out in a cold sweat. It would be worse than sitting on his robe. The witch's cloak is truly precious.
It came to her mind that Karmen, during this childhood, must have been a very kind-hearted child.
“But why don't you take magic lessons? Which scent you are this strong. It's so futile. ”
As Karmen said this, Siervian just stared blankly at her, then asked.
"Huh? Fragrance?”
[Others: +100]
“Yes, the aroma is very strong, and it seems like you have a high interest in it. Don't you know?”
He had been troubled by Karmen's thick eyelashes at this moment, but he couldn't hide his astonishment when he said this.
Although he was a member of the Imperial family, Siervian did not possess any magical abilities. If he did not have the same eye color as the Emperor, one might misunderstand that he was not his son.
"But it can't be two ..."
[Others: +100]
If he had excellent abilities, he wouldn't have simply been ignored. At the very least, he could come in handy and get rid of the snow monsters that continued to threaten the mana circle of the Empire.
[Karmen Kasselov]
Mind: If Siervian learns magic, maybe I can see it again?
Even when Siervian could see his thoughts and likes rising, he still could not believe all of that, thinking what he had just said was a lie.
"What's? Thas right. Do you think I'm lying?"
[Karmen Kasselov]
Thought: This is even more fragrant than the old man.. Maybe you can become the old man's student as well?
But after seeing his thoughts again, he became confused when he realized that Karmen was being serious.
"Thul? Really rich?”
[Others: +100]
"Yes. Really, really.”
In addition to being the youngest tower lord, Karmen is known for many other abilities. One is that he has an excellent sense of smell in terms of mana.
The more mana a person has, the stronger their scent will be.
"But that can't be true."
Throughout his life, he thought that he had no interest in magic. But suddenly, someone told him that his mana scent was stronger than the current tower lord.
“You're done getting what you need, right? It's time for the guards to do their rounds here. ”
Karmen looked around as she said this, and Siervian reflexively looked around while holding a flower in her hand.
The only thing left for tonight is the food waste incident.
Can Karmen keep a secret?
"If ... If possible ..."
[Others: +100]
"…If what?"
Karmen knows more about the palace grounds than she does. But she is afraid she will be misunderstood again because of the leftovers in this life as well.
Even when he was scared, Siervian managed to ask him.
“I want to know where the Pwincess Palace went. Where's it?"
[Others: +100]
"Junk?"
"Yes." Yeah."
[Others: +100]
At the unexpected question, Karmen raised an eyebrow.
“They probably collected it somewhere before sending it. Probably at the southern gate closest to the slums.”
“Near?”
[Others: +100]
“Ya... When I stayed there, I noticed that items were always shipped in groups.”
[Karmen Kasselov]
Mind: You won't like where I come from. But there's nothing I can do.
Siervian's eyes widened, not expecting what he was reading at all. Because even in his previous life, he always thought that Karmen was amazing.
Thinking that they would not meet again any time soon, Siervian suddenly exploded with the first thing he thought of.
“Care is amazing!”
[Others: +100]
“...Yes, I'm a little great, right.”
He shrugged and turned around, avoiding Sierra's gaze.
Thinking that he had said what he needed to say, Siervian smiled faintly. Then, he suddenly extended his hand with his pinky up.
"Everything we do together, it's a secret, okay?"
[Others: +100]
Karmen was deep in thought as she stared at the little pinky that lay out in front of her.
Many nobles did not even want to touch her when her origins were revealed, but it was amazing that this little boy was still being friendly to her.
It made him feel greedy for more.
"Huh?"
"Then promise me you'll learn magic in the future."
[Karmen Kasselov]
Mind: Then we can meet again.
Surprised, Siervian was at a loss for words.
He also wanted to learn magic, but knowing from the past that he did not have the ability to do so, it might be difficult to keep this promise with him.
But Karmen seems to believe that she really has a strong mana.
"What ... what if I make mwiskes?"
His expression grew frightened, but Karmen quickly convinced him. He just wants to see her again.
“You will do well. I know it. Then promise me you'll at least try to learn magic. You can do it, right?”
"okay."
Siervian thought that he could try, so he nodded vigorously.
It has not been revealed in this life that she has no interest in magic, so she might be able to get a lesson this time around.
"Promise?"
“Female!”
[Others: +100]
The two make sincere promises to each other, linking their little fingers.
At that moment, Siervian looked at his status window from his periphery again and thought that the surname 'Kasselov' sounded familiar.
Where did he hear it?
“...ses!”
Someone could be heard shouting in the distance. He could not hear what was being said, but he immediately recognized the voice.
“Ah, this is Eri.”
Ellie, who was out for a while because of something she had to do, discovers that Siervian is missing as soon as she returns to the princess' room.
Only then did Siervian realize that he had been gone for a while now. The moon was already high in the sky before he realized it.
“I have to go now..”
There was an awkward silence between them as he did not know how to say goodbye before returning.
Then Karmen, who was also hesitating, suddenly said in a rough voice.
“You can come to my hiding place again. I'll give you special permission."
[Karmen Kasselov]
Mind: Can I see you again? I very much want to.
In fact, Siervian thought they would never meet again because Karmen would become a very great person in the future. He was sure he would forget about it in no time.
But Karmen's thoughts on her status window turned out to be strange, even now. Thanks to that, he said yes while he was in a daze.
"Um, okay, I'll do it."
[Others: +100]
They would probably meet again since this was still inside the Princess Palace.
However, after that Siervian could not take his eyes off Karmen for a while. He usually had a grumpy expression on his face the entire time, but now, he was smiling very brightly.
Brighter than the moon above their heads.

"Daughter!"
“Eri!”
Siervian returned to the same street and saw Ellie running towards him in the palace garden. The waiter shouted in excitement and rushed towards him.
"Your Majesty, wherever you are!"
“Um..”
Siervian tried to hold out the Cassia flower in his hand, Ellie just stared in shock. As he raised his hand, it became clearer how much mud there was on the princess' body.
"The good…! What happened, was His Majesty injured? Did you fall?”
Ellie frantically examined Siervian's entire body, thinking that she had stumbled somewhere.
Realizing how worried he was, Siervian's skin turned pale as well.
She should have told Ellie before she left.
The more he thought about it, the clearer it became to him that what he was doing was wrong.
Ellie's stiff expression scared her. And now, he was aware of the fact that his clothes were very dirty.
He shouldn't be a fussy kid. He doesn't want to be hated anymore.
“Please let me know if Your Majesty wants to come out! Especially on a dark night like this!”
“E, Eri.. sowwy... hiic..
Ellie's loud voice was terrifying. It was obvious that he was really angry.
