Baby Princess Through Status Window
Chapter 14's
He had only gathered his courage once, but why did it have to come to this?
“Yes, I think it will work if you are around someone you know.”
[Erveldote Alderuan]
Mind: My beautiful Siervian should say yes.
that's a great idea. He did not know why he needed to hear his answer, but with a worried expression, Siervian replied.
“OK..”.
[Erveldote Alderuan]
Kindness: +100
Kindness: +100
The Emperor walked forward without saying anything. If it wasn't for the status window, he would have thought his father hadn't heard it.
'How can he hide his emotions so well?'
If he looked closely, he could see that the corner of his father's lips was slightly raised. Feeling strange, he continued to observe his father's face impulsively.
“Then it is inevitable. Since you look a bit sad, I should stay with you, Siervian. ”

Kindness: +100
Kindness: +100
Mind: Hm. My daughter, you didn't run away once you saw me.
However, the thin smile on the Emperor's lips immediately disappeared, and he returned to his usual reserved expression. Siervian, who usually ran away just by looking at it, turned around as if he had not seen this.
"Don't hide next time."
But when he did not reply, the Emperor, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped. Hex and Ellie also stopped walking, then looked at Siervian.
Staring at the adults, he also found his father's eyes full of anticipation.
“Umm... You're right..”.
"As expected, Your Majesty."
"You did very well, Princess!"
Three status windows appeared and were noisy at the same time.
But the biggest and brightest windows of status belonged to the Emperor.

Kindness: +100
Kindness: +100
Mind: It would be a good idea to walk together regularly. Maybe you'd prefer me that way. That can't be avoided. I need to spend more time for Siervian ...
He once again swore resolutely not to hide from his father next time.
"But why did you come all the way here?"
“I'm very curious.”
He could not talk about knowing the future or seeing the status window because he would definitely be locked up in a magic rehabilitation center.
"Is this your first time here?"
"Yes, this is the first time."
Just answer it well today. Siervian guessed that this was what his father wanted.
Siervian obediently followed his father with clenched hands as he only answered politely when needed.
"In hindsight, you haven't come out of the Imperial Palace yet."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
In his past life, he was forced out of the palace.
He did not want to be executed again, like he was in his previous life. He wants to be happy.
But no matter how well he wanted everything to go well, he might have to leave the palace when the time came.
'In case, should I prepare to leave?'
With these thoughts swirling in his mind as he walked, his forehead hit something soft. It was because the Emperor leading him suddenly stopped walking.
The emperor helped him stand up straight again, then continued walking forward.
“……”
Because his head was lowered, he did not see his father's status window properly. He wants to see his mind.
'I think he stopped because I was too slow ...'
He moved his legs faster. He had fought since earlier because he wanted to catch up with his father, but he kept going.
Their silent journey continued.
[ Elli ]
Mind: The Princess must have had a hard time…
While Ellie looked at him anxiously, Siervian looked around the garden.
It was a small park at first, so their journey was quick. This is a good thing for Siervian because his short legs are struggling a lot.
'My feet hurt…'
It was hard to follow his father's long steps. Secretly behind his father, Siervian patted his knee.
"First-out"
The emperor suddenly spoke. Surprised, Siervian straightened up and immediately replied.
“Ya.”
"Let's rest here."
[Erveldote Alderuan]
Mind: Your legs must be hurting. I should have walked slower. I made a mistake.
But he didn't even look at her. How does he know?
Siervian had an inquisitive expression on his face, but the Emperor looked to the other side and spoke in an authoritative tone.
"Bring here."
Immediately, the people carrying the large basket appeared as if they had been hiding all along. They were all palace servants.
"When have they been here?"
By order of the Emperor, they moved in unison. Picnic is made in a small park.
[Erveldote Alderuan]
Mind: Are you surprised?
Siervian could feel his gaze from above, so he looked up and immediately saw the status window there, saying that they had been hiding all along because he was embarrassed in front of people.
And it must have been his father who gave the order.
"Sit down."
“Oke.”
His feet hurt now. Siervian carefully went to the picnic mat and sat down in one corner. There were so many baskets in front of him.
Then, the servants left in the blink of an eye after setting up the picnic mat. The same goes for others who were walking in the small park.
Maybe they all left because they were afraid of their father.
He was reminded of the surprised voices earlier when the Emperor suddenly appeared.
After all, this was luck to him. He could look around without attracting the attention of others.
There's another place he needs to go. What's a good reason?
"Swallow."
[Erveldote Alderuan]
After looking sideways to the status window, he turned to the basket in front of him.
The scent of mustard pierced at the end of his nose, and sure enough, there were various sandwiches inside when he opened one of the baskets.
'Looks good.'
Due to taking a walk for a long time, he now felt hungry. Ellie said she could eat everything her father gave her, but is that okay?
"Continue."
“Thank you for the food.”.
[Erveldote Alderuan]
Kindness: +100
After seeing her father's fondness rise, she felt brave enough to grab one sandwich. It was a chicken sandwich that had been a great temptation for him since before, but it was now in his hands.
It was actually too big even when he held it with both hands.
'How do I eat it?'
Then, someone took a sandwich from him.
"I…!"
“...I won't take it.”
Siervian, who was about to shout, 'Sandwichku!' immediately shut his mouth. He was still very embarrassed about what happened to the meat last time. He was glad he didn't make the same mistake the second time around.
The sandwich was immediately sliced to fit into Siervian's small hand. He took one of the pieces and bit it.
[Erveldote Alderuan]
Kindness: +100
Kindness: +100
[ Elli ]
Thought: Oh my goodness, our daughter. Please don't eat too much. I can't believe it's been cut so small, but you still can't chew it easily.
[ The hex ]
Kindness: +10
Mind: Your Majesty always bragged about the Princess. As expected, you are so cute.
After biting, he looked around and lowered his hand. Tasting the wet chicken and the non-spicy mustard at all, he suddenly felt sad.
"What's wrong?"
And when Siervian stopped eating, the Emperor immediately asked him.
“Uuumph...”
She wanted to say that nothing was wrong, but a strange sound came out from her lips as her mouth was full of food. He shouldn't be so rude ...
[Erveldote Alderuan]
Mind: It's so funny that I can't breathe…
[ Elli ]
Mind: Ahh how funny.Our daughter's cheeks are full…!
[ The hex ]
Mind: How funny are you!
'…I don't think so?'
Unable to resist the temptation of a very tasty sandwich in his hand, he took another big bite. He lowered his head because the status window was so noisy.
"You've been out a lot lately."
While he was engrossed in eating sandwiches, the Emperor's words fell like a bomb on his head.
"What should I answer?"
Maybe because he was walking around without permission first.
Even though Ellie said it was fine, maybe her father thought differently. Perhaps his purpose in looking for her today was because he found out that she left without permission.
"I made a mistake again."
Today was quite exhausting, but keeping his mind to himself was even more difficult than he realized. He can't control his emotions well.
“I make mwistake..”
He put down the sandwich he was holding and clenched his hands together carefully, hoping he looked polite enough.
“... Mm.”
[Erveldote Alderuan]
Mind: No, why— suddenly…
Does that mean he hasn't done anything wrong this whole time? Siervian could not see the next words in the status window as tears continued to flood his eyes. He kept asking for forgiveness.
"I-I'm soowwy ..."
Hex, who was standing politely on one side, suddenly rushed forward.
"Your majesty! Your Majesty doesn't blame you for going out! His Majesty is actually very happy that His Majesty seems to be more active lately!”
…gid? Can Siervian trust him?
[ The hex ]
Kindness: +20
Mind: Oh, our beautiful daughter. It will be a big deal if you cry.
Wanting to see if Hex's words were true, he looked towards his father, but his tears fell down his cheeks every time he blinked.
Why is she crying so much?
[Erveldote Alderuan]
Mind: I do not know what to do.. Did I say something wrong…?
Never so confused in his life, the Emperor had a restless expression on his face as he covered his mouth. Then, he beckoned to the waiter behind him.
“Bring it here.”
And what he ordered to bring was a macaron.
A plate of various macarons stacked like a mountain was placed in front of Siervian.
"Swallow."
[Erveldote Alderuan]
Mind: I'm not blaming you at all, why do you think that way? But I know it's my fault because you misunderstood me. Sierra didn't do anything wrong.
So it's a misunderstanding. He was immediately frightened and immediately thought of the worst again.
"Please now."
“Okaay.. hiik.”.
Feeling a little better, Siervian took one macaron. Small bite-sized macarons have a delicate lemon scent.
He liked the sweet taste that fluttered in his mouth.
"I'll give you something better next time."
“Hiik, hik..”.
He just nodded because he was still crying.
Ellie, who was watching at close range, approached and brought a glass of milk to Siervian. Her warm milk matched the chocolate macaron she had just eaten.
“...You can also finish eating your sandwich.”
He nodded, whimpered, and sniffed all in that order.
He took the sandwich he had put down earlier. It was still delicious even as her tears continued to flow down her face.
