Baby Princess Through Status Window
Chapter 13
[ Elli ]
Thought: It's my fault. I shouldn't have left the Princess alone, but it's a matter of safety. I have to scold her hard even if she starts hating me.
“It's okay for Your Majesty to leave whenever you want, but please promise to let me know first in the future. That's dangerous."
Ellie doesn't hate Sierra. Instead, he was very worried.
In an instant, Siervian calmed down a little. It had become his habit to relax after reading the words in the status window.
"Okay, hik, I'm pwomise, hiiicc."
He made two promises today. He had never been close enough to others before to make such a promise with them.
Siervian gradually calmed down and did not sob anymore.
"These flowers ... Is Your Majesty leaving because you want to see some flowers?"
It was only after Siervian made a promise with Ellie that the waiter switched to what Siervian had previously offered.
[ Elli ]
Mind: If the palace is well managed, the Princess will not be left alone. What should I do from now on?
Revoking his courage, Siervian reached out to offer Cassia flowers again. The status window caught his attention, but Siervian was in a hurry. He could not wait to give this medicine.
As even his roots were plucked, the remaining ground fell from his arms and onto the floor.
"Eri, hiic, this, this!"
"Is Your Majesty in a hurry here just to give this to me?"
Ellie's worries subside when she sees that the Princess is safe. Now relaxed, Ellie carefully received the flowers from Siervian's little hand.
"It's medicine!"
But Ellie soon became curious because of what the princess said.
"This ... medicine?"
"Eri said your brother swick!"
"W…!"
Only then did Ellie remember that she mentioned her sister in passing..Is that why the princess rushed out in the middle of the night?
"Daughter…"
Suddenly, Ellie cried. He felt very sorry that a good child like Siervian suffered for such a long time.
Unknowingly, Ellie hugged Siervian tightly, just as Siervian hugged the flower she gave.
[ Elli ]
Mind: Flowers are as beautiful as Princesses... I'll put this in the vase.
But when Siervian saw this thought, he panicked again.
Of course, there was no way anyone would trust a child who brought flowers and called it medicine for their sister. It was too unbelievable from the start.
It might be due to the synchronization of his tilted body and mind, but it seemed that Siervian often made a lot of mistakes like this.
"I heard it when I visited His Majesty."
So he decided to lie.
She was afraid that she would get in trouble again if Ellie heard that she met Karmen, so she used her father as a crutch.
“It's an excellent remedy for fever. You have to use it, okay? ”
"Your Majesty said so?"
Cassia is known as a fever reducer. Even if Ellie showed it to the doctor, she could still give it to her brother without any problems.
[ Elli ]
Mind: Is it a real medicinal flower? Then maybe my brother…
"Yes! Eri too, make pwomise!”
Ellie's eyes wobbled when Siervian called out her father.
The boy carefully raised his little finger and snared it with the servant's finger. Ellie's heart became very warm.
* * *
"Can we go?"
"Yes!"
After a while, Ellie looks to be a more cheerful person.
Just in case, Ellie had sent the flowers Siervian had given her to her family home.
The doctor who received the Cassia flower did not expect much. He also said that although it has some fever-lowering properties, it may not be of much use.
”Princess, my brother—adikku... his fever is gone..”.
However, his sister surprisingly improved after just three days of drinking tea made from Cassia flowers.
“Thank you... Thank you very much, Princess..”.
Ellie was left alone with her sister after their parents died too early.
While working in the palace, their neighbors willingly took care of him. But then a year ago, his brother fell ill with a fever and could not even stand up.
Now, all his worries are gone.
"Eri, you should go see your brother ..."
“It's okay, Your Majesty. They don't hurt anymore.”
Siervian thought Ellie would soon apply for a leave of absence to go home, but strangely, she did not leave the palace.
'Is there a shortage of staff?'
He is troubled by a staffing problem he discovers through Ellie's status window that night. The Princess Palace was still very quiet at night.
Ellie could not take care of everything like this, so Siervian started to worry.
"Are you okay, Princess?"
"I'm fine."
Outside Siervian, who shook her head, Ellie looked towards the fierce blizzard outside the barrier made of mana.
Temperatures in the north are cold all year round, and snowstorms like this are also common. Nevertheless, it was warm inside the mana circle which acted as a barrier. The weather inside is developing, enough until the bees are about to come out.
Thanks to this, sometimes strange scenes will be revealed. Snow covered the sky and made it seem as if it was a canopy on top of the bed.
"Please let me know if Your Majesty has any difficulties."
[ Elli ]
Mind: You haven't been eating well lately either…
Siervian has really eaten more lately, but Ellie keeps worrying about it after Cassia flowers are given. Siervian tilted his head to the side, but then started walking forward again.
The place he was going to visit today was close to the south gate of the palace.
"Is there a clue here?"
There were four gates in the palace, and the north gate would only be opened when the knights were sent to subdue the monsters in Mount Sol.
The south gate, on the other hand, would lead directly to the Imperial capital. As Karmen said, a carriage had to pass through this gate first before it reached the slums.
'What reasons can I make that I can go there?'
The south gate was also the most frequently used, that was why the Siervian, in his previous life, also rarely went there.
"There are so many people."
Near the south gate was a building where bureaucrats worked, so many people also visited this small park.
Feeling nervous, Siervian suddenly hid behind a large tree.
"I really don't want to go through here."
This may be a useless worry as his life has changed a lot compared to his previous life. But still, it could have been more dangerous for him since he was actively trying to investigate the situation.
Even so, he did not want to be misunderstood anymore. What's he supposed to do?
“You're having trouble, aren't you, Your Majesty? Do you want me to hold you? ”
“No, it's okay. It's just... there are so many people...”.
Hesitatingly glancing around the garden, Siervian continued to feel anxious as Ellie watched him from the side. Then, they heard the commotion that was happening there.
"Y-Your Majesty!"
“Hm.”
"I greet His Majesty the Emperor."
Greetings to the Emperor could be heard from afar. Is his father here?
But his office was in the Central Palace, and it was far from this place. Sierra could feel a little curiosity.
"Did he go outside?"
Her silvery hair could be seen from a distance. Siervian, who was behind a large tree, curled up for a moment.
"It looks like I'm hiding."
There were more people now, so his tense body moved on its own. After slipping completely behind the tree, he sat down on the grass.
Its alright. His father might be leaving soon.
“Siervia.”
But then he heard the Emperor's voice right above his head.
"Your Majesty."
Surprised, he pulled himself back.
When he greeted his father, a status window suddenly appeared.
[Erveldote Alderuan]
Favorites: 90,986,984
Mind: I want to know until when you'll call me that.
Siervian wasn't sure what that meant. Is it because he didn't call her 'Dad'?
"What a coincidence. I'm also on a walk.”
“Ya.”
But he could not figure it out because the status window blinked once more. Instead, something completely different from what he said appeared.
[Erveldote Alderuan]
Kindness: +100
Mind: As reported. I'm glad I came out to see you.
His father came to see him? He wasn't just on his way out for something else? Hex, the Chancellor who had always been by the Emperor's side, spoke.
“Really, what an incredible coincidence! His Majesty is very busy with state affairs, and he just happens to come for a walk here. ”
"Yes. A coincidence.”
[Erveldote Alderuan]
Kindness: +100
Thought: That's what you wore last time. That looks good on you, of course. Well, that dress makes my Siervian look more like a fairy.
After reading her thoughts, Siervian grabbed her dress skirt. Even when Ellie sighed every time she looked into the closet, Siervian deliberately wore her clothes more than once.
"Of all the days, I met my father wearing this again."
Among her clothes, a pink dress was her favorite. She likes a simple dress because she can walk outside for a long time. It's even nice to know that she thinks she looks good in it, so she's a little pushed.
"Does your foot hurt, that's why you're on the ground?"
[Erveldote Alderuan]
Mind: Why don't you take the train? It's too far from your castle—what is your servant doing? It's only natural that a little boy like you would be tired. Those brazen servants.
"I'm fine."
He had not been able to get the courage to take the train. Moreover, if he were to drive a carriage, his movements would be too obvious.
"Why are you on the ground?"
[Erveldote Alderuan]
Mind: Are you hiding from me…?
He might have seen the exact moment he was hiding behind a tree. Therefore, he felt like he was being interrogated by his father.
Anxiety, Siervin ******-***** his finger. He should have made himself more confident when he said he was fine ...
But then Ellie, who was standing beside him, suddenly sifted in front of the Emperor.
"Your Majesty is ashamed that there are many people, Your Majesty ..."
[ Elli ]
Thought: Your Majesty should not misunderstand again that the Princess knows of him.
Like Siervian, Ellie's hand trembled as she gripped the skirt of her dress. Seeing this, Sierra suddenly felt even bolder.
“Um.”
Hearing his timid voice, the Emperor immediately turned away from him.
[Erveldote Alderuan]
Mind: You are still very cute when you are ashamed. That can't be avoided. It's embarrassing, but I think I should go too.
It was impossible not to notice the status window as he turned around.
"Because I've seen his back so often in my previous life."
Before his father turned around completely, Siervian reached out.
It's gonna be fine.
Last time was fine too.
"Siervia?"
As he was held back by the small hand gripping his clothes, the Emperor looked back at his beautiful daughter with astonishment in his eyes.
Looking into his blue eyes, Siervian felt even bolder. Just like Ellie before.
“Together.”
"…Together?"
"Yes. Let's go both.”
