Baby Princess Through Status Window
Chapter 15's
“You can go anywhere in the palace you want, Siervian. You will not be in danger.”
"OK…"
The bite-sized sandwich quickly disappeared, but before that, he was already full because of the macaron he ate and the milk he drank.
"Have you finished eating?"
“I'm full..”
"Even if you eat that much."

The Emperor spoke as if he was interrogating Siervian, but he still nodded boldly. Maybe his intention was just to ask. Then, he slowly stood up from the picnic mat
"Let's go. I'll show you around. ”
[Erveldote Alderuan]
Mind: It will make you feel better.
His father's consideration was quite difficult to see. Anyway, this is a good thing. He just happened to have something to do nearby.
"It's better this way too, than to go alone."
In fact, this was something he never thought was possible. He just thought that his father had come here to catch him doing something wrong.
However, thanks to him taking her around, her job today would be easy. It would seem strange if a princess went near the gate alone, but no one would think there was anything wrong if she went with the Emperor.
"I heard it must be in the port of the train."
The reason he had reluctantly gone to the south gate today was because of something he had accidentally heard about the carriage port. He heard some maids saying that there were items sent through the port today.
"And the port of the train is near the south gate."
This was also something that matched what Karmen had said.
Fortunately, he knew the area around the south gate. There was only one place where a sizable space could have many carriages.
It was right behind the Lower Administration Building.
"Your Majesty."
"I greet His Majesty the Emperor."
As they walked further away from the park and closer to the building, the lower officials who met them hurriedly lowered their heads.
Siervian also lowered his head and pretended not to see the lower officials. He was overwhelmed by the thought that he was making them uncomfortable for no reason.
"What if another strange rumor goes around?"
But he was comforted by the fact that nothing had happened yet. And if she did well, she might be able to prevent the first incident that permanently marked her as a bad woman in her past life.
He needs to entertain.
"Did your leg hurt?"
"That's not huwt."
“Mm.”
[Erveldote Alderuan]
Kindness: +100
Siervian shook his head as he said it didn't hurt. Every time he answered well, his father's liking also increased.
But this time, the Emperor started to talk more.
“This is the Lower Administration Building. That's where the low-ranking officials in their respective departments work. ”
“I don't understand.”
Maybe he was trying to say that this was not the place where he should have come. As his guard slightly lifted up, he clasped his hands politely.
[ The hex ]
Kindness: +10
As expected, a polite answer worked wonders.
“There are a total of twelve departments in the Empire. Among them, the most crowded place was the Magic Circle Administration. Magic Circle..”
The Emperor continued to explain for a long time. There were some parts that Siervian knew, and some parts that he did not know as well.
One thing that is certain is that the explanations are very detailed and organized. That's not something you would say to a five-year-old.
[ The hex ]
Mind: How can you say such boring things to our Young Princess…!
As expected, it wasn't just him who felt this way.
However, no one dared to tell the Emperor anything as he enthusiastically explained further.
“...Therefore, by the time the continent enters an era of peace, diplomatic relations also need to be balanced. Understood, Sierra?”
"Yes!"
[Erveldote Alderuan]
Kindness: +100
Actually, he could not fully understand what he was saying. This was because during her education which began when she was eight years old, she was not given a complete Imperial lesson.
Currently, the Erveldote Empire controlled several kingdoms, so diplomacy was also included in the Empire's education.
“Mm.”
[Erveldote Alderuan]
Kindness: +100
[ The hex ]
Mind: Our daughter has not even begun formal education, Your Majesty!
Even so, his father's response was good because Siervian answered well. Hex was still astonished by the way the Emperor had just dived into his rambling explanation.
Siervian suddenly looked back because he was curious about Ellie, who was following them quietly nearby.
[ Elli ]
Mind: I wonder if there are any macarons left. The princess liked them very much. If I can keep it in the warehouse, Your Majesty will be able to eat more.
Ellie, who looked calm, worried about Siervian food. Should he ask for food?
'Oh?'
Then suddenly, something caught Siervian's attention.
They had already passed the Lower Administration Building and walked closer to the south gate. They were now near the gate that was going to head to the Imperial Capital. He had never approached this place before in his previous life.
Neii.
And the horses are gathered here.
'That's here!'
If horses gather here, then the carriage port should be close by. Siervian raised one hand to point in the direction he wanted to go.
“Horses!”
"Yes, that's a horse."
Hearing his words, the Emperor nodded calmly. But then he started heading in the opposite direction.
"I want to go there!"
Hex, who had already followed the Emperor, quickly intervened.
“Your Majesty, those horses seem to have fascinated His Majesty! Let's look there.”
"Horses?"
It was clear through the Emperor's tone that he could not understand.
[Erveldote Alderuan]
What is the danger of approaching a horse? Perhaps he thought that Siervian would be surprised by their loud neighing voice.
In a hurry, he grabbed his father's sleeve again.
Then, he looked up with a serious look.
"I want to see."
“……”
[Erveldote Alderuan]

Kindness: +100
Kindness: +100
The emperor was silent for a moment. Then, he quickly turned towards the stables and walked leisurely.
"good. You are young, so you must be curious about the horses.”
[Erveldote Alderuan]
Mind: As expected, my daughter is very smart. It is clear that you have recognized the strategic value of horses.
No? Not like that?
“See, Sierra. Our Imperial Horse is widely known as a good breed. Do you know why?"
“No.”
“It was because of the snow monster. The breeds we have here have improved over the decades to the point where they can move quickly over snow and run through blizzards without falling ill.”
“I don't understand.”
And starting from there, the Emperor continued the full-scale explanation of the strategic value of the Empire's horses.
It had been twenty years since the last war on the continent. Nevertheless, Siervian had to listen to how important horses were during the war.
He listened... long ...
[ The hex ]
Mind: Your Majesty just needs to show the Princess the horses that she admires…
Sierra agreed with his words. But he had to wonder—why did the Rector have to be by his father's side at all times?
After all, he still appreciated his father's explanation for being interesting.
The horse breed exclusive to the Empire had a rich mane and wide hoofs. In Siervian's previous life, he was amazed by how different horses from the southern region were, that was why he was interested in his father's explanation.
"That's amazing!"
Unknowingly, he nodded enthusiastically while listening to his father.
[Erveldote Alderuan]
Kindness: +100
Kindness: +100
Mind: That's my daughter.
After that, they were finally able to go around the cage.
Hex mentions getting closer to the horse, but the Emperor does not allow it. For some reason, it felt strange for Siervian to see his father so worried all the time.
"I thought there'd be something where the train was."
Next to the cage is the train port. There were different types of carriages ranging from those with the Imperial family emblem to small carriages.
"That shouldn't happen in this life."
At this moment, Siervian felt a little relieved, so he was quite relaxed.
He saw a black envelope hidden near a very shabby wagon, it was cleverly disguised in a place where adults would not be able to see unless they were crouching at almost the same height as a child like him.
“It...”
He feels weird. He didn't know what the envelope was, but he really wanted to see what was inside.
“Come go now.”
“There.”
His heart started beating fast.
He tried to point towards the envelope as calmly as possible while adding a reasonable explanation.
"Think!"
However, what came out of his lips was a word that matched his body and not his mentality.
"Get rid of it immediately."
Then the Emperor pointed towards the envelope he found.
The servants in charge of the stables were thrown into chaos on the Emperor's strict orders. One of them was so frightened that he trembled as his head bowed.
“Abiz once. It should not be something that will give off a foul smell, ”mumam Emperor.
Upon hearing this, Hex suddenly stepped forward, having the most serious expression he had ever seen her. He approached the waiter who was trying to hide the envelope.
"You're there. Open."
"I-This is s-something not worthy of such respectable p-personage you should see ..."
[Ahim]
Occupation: Stableman
Atmosphere: Fear
Mind: I'm in trouble. Big deal! If I get caught, I'll die! I'm gonna die!
The waiter who was asked to come forward was also the one who was nervous from earlier.
Sierra, who had unknowingly read his status window, was startled by his thoughts. Why was he so scared that he feared for his life?
"Open up soon."
With a skeptical look, Hex immediately sensed that something was suspicious.
The emperor silently pointed towards the people behind him. Then, the knights approached from where they were hiding.
"So there's a knight escort around us."
This was natural, but Sierra never thought about it. After all, there were practically no servants in the Princess Palace, let alone knights.
Instead, seeing the huge sword and armor suddenly scared him. Maybe because he only had bad memories with the knights.
'What should I do, I'm suddenly scared ...'
His body began to tremble as soon as he heard the metallic sound of the armor rubbing against each other. He was like a servant trembling in front of Hex.
Then, the Emperor who was close to Siervian gently called out to him.
"Cabin."
Siervian hid behind his father, his face touching the tip of his father's clothes.
"You're ashamed. Look here instead. ”
It was not even a hug, but rather an awkward attitude. The emperor did not seem to know how to carry his son. Everything was so sudden, but surprisingly, Siervian managed to calm down.
“No, this...?”
Hex, who finally opened the envelope, was shocked. It was so unexpected.
The Emperor calmly observed the scene as he was with Siervian, and began to read the contents of the envelope.
"Food trash."
