Baby Princess Through Status Window
Chapter 19's
Siervian, who had just arrived at the Emperor Palace just in time for breakfast with his father, looked around with a blank look. He could not believe that they were expecting a child to have breakfast this early in the morning.
He woke up not long before this.
"You're here."
"I met Your Majesty."
He lowered his head and bowed. As he looked down, he felt that he could sleep right then and there.
“Siervy.”
“Ya.”
Struggling to open his eyes, he looked at his father. He was so sleepy that he could not read the words in the status window properly.
“Siervy.”
“...Yes.”
Only then did he find it strange that his father called him by that nickname again and again. When their eyes met, the Emperor walked towards him from the table without saying anything. It was only natural that Siervian began to question his actions.
What's wrong now?
"I'll take you there, Siervy."
"OK…"
Before he could even take a step forward, he felt his body drift. It was amazing because it felt like he was flying through the air before he sat down on the chair gently.
"Eat, Siervy."
From the beginning, the relatively simple setting of the table caught his attention. Nevertheless, an appetizing scent remained at the end of his nose. She must still be sleepy, but she became a little excited.
'uh? Is it a little lighter?'
When he grabbed the spoon, he felt the difference in weight. The tableware in the Emperor Palace was always large and heavy, so it was usually difficult for him to use.
“Siervy, the silverware you use has been specially made for you. More sets are also sent to your palace. ”
As soon as he saw the plate, the Emperor said this casually.
The silver plate had a small shining blue gem.
He noticed that the fork he used yesterday was heavy.
“Thank you yes.”

This kind of attention was something he had never even dreamed of in his previous life.
Maybe because his hands felt lighter, he was fresher.
'It fits perfectly in my hands. And they're beautiful!’
The meal went on without a hitch after that. They are served simple dishes that are not difficult to digest.
When he was full, he felt sleepy again. He had no idea why he was so lethargic today.
"Your Majesty, this is your dessert."
"Yes." Yeah."

Occupation: Grand Treasurer of the Emperor's Palace

So when the treasurer served dessert, Siervian was already asleep.
The desserts served are simple pastries and chocolate milk.
“Susu is very nutritious. I hope it suits your taste, Your Majesty. ”
[Paolo Velmang ]
Mind: I put my heart and soul into this drink, so I hope you eat it well, Our poor Daughter.
When she looked at the kitchen of the Princess Palace herself, it seemed like the treasurer was starting to pay more attention.
She was so sleepy that she wanted to skip drinking milk, but she held back her consciousness firmly. And when he took a sip, it was really ...
It's absolutely incredible!
“Very good!”
It was sweet and tender and without the bad smell of milk she used to have before.
However, after he drank all the milk, the limit finally came.
'If I fall asleep here ... No, I can't ...'
He had put down the glass before and he had the equipment in his hands now, but his head was already sleepy. He tried to look at his father with his eyes open, but his body would not listen. Moreover, because the milk he just drank was warm.
“Siervy.”
“Ya.”
Oh, there's a status window.
But he's very sleepy…
"Killness."
His father's voice sounded close, but soon, a warm feeling enveloped him. It felt like he was still sitting on a chair, but in his hazy gaze, he saw his father's chin close by.
'It's warm.'
It was ridiculous how he ignored the courtesy of his desk. How can he fall asleep in the middle of eating? However, Siervian quickly gave up on sleeping in that warm embrace.
* * *
“Mm..”
"Daughter, are you awake?"
“Eri.”
Before he knew it, he had already returned to the Princess Palace, on his bed.
Siervian tried scanning his memory, but he was surprised that it seemed like he was actually asleep. No matter how young he was now, how could he do that?
“Eri, is Your Highness.”.
"Yes. Her Majesty brought the Princess here by himself.”
He would ask if he looked angry, but he stopped himself mid-sentence. It was an ordinary question, but strangely, he thought that his father would not be angry about it.
It's amazing that her father isn't as scary as he used to be.
“Your Majesty must be very sleepy. You slept a long time.”
"I should have gotten up earlier ..."
“You need to sleep well to be healthy. It's okay, Princess.”
“Oke.”
She was worried because she might look lazy in front of others lately, but Ellie was stubborn about this.
A kid as young as him doesn't have much work to do. He had not thought of it that way in his previous life.
“By the way, we will change the furniture and other interior today. Fortunately, the budget of the palace had been properly allocated now. ”
[ Elli ]
Mind: I can do everything for you from now on, what a relief, huhu. I will fill this palace with things that suit our Princess!
The budget Ellie was worried about must have been settled. Siervian asked what was the most urgent thing Ellie didn't seem to worry about.
"Eri, you gotta get your salad."
“Yeah, you know about that? Our daughter, you are very smart. ”
Siervian was worried that Ellie would forget to take care of herself.

“Your Majesty has solved all the problems with my salary. I received a lot of bonuses this time too! ”
“Ya!”
Both of them were excited about this and talked about different things.
Among the topics they talked about, the furniture to be brought appeared.
“So I was thinking of decorating the room according to His Majesty's taste. What say?"
"Umm, everything is big and scary, so the smaller ones are better."
“Yes my mercy. Then it must be scary at night? ”
“Ya.”
The furniture is prominent and large, heavy, strange to have in a children's bedroom. In addition, the furniture is also unsightly because it is not a set.
[ Elli ]
Minds: Seriously. I can't believe the room was filled with furniture like this. What a terrible thing to do.
Siervian thought that Ellie really understood it well. He wouldn't be too scared at night when he would sleep now. He was happy with the change.
“I will soon get some catalog. It's a small book, but it's easy to choose from there because there's an illustration of it.”
"okay!"
Siervian had only ever seen the catalog to choose her dress back then. Moreover, she usually wore what the Empress had chosen for her, so she never had the chance to see him in person. Even if he did not choose clothes, it seemed like this would be fun.
At that moment, someone knocked on the door.
“Yeah, I think the new ladies are here to welcome Your Majesty. Should I have them come in?”
He remembered the waiter who had surrounded his bed when he was sick. And when the knights enter right after.
However, Siervian immediately straightened his posture and nodded.
"It's gonna be different than before."
When she nodded, Ellie went to the door and opened it.
[Jane Millas]
Occupation: Lady-in-waiting (Lv.80)
Favorability: 3,055
Thought: Geez, Princess is so cute.
About five people entered. And Jane, who was standing in front, had smiling eyes.
"I greet Her Highness the Princess."
They all love Sierra.
Standing beside her, Ellie calmly introduced them and explained that the five most senior ladies-in-waiting came as a representative first. The rest are scheduled to greet the princess gradually.
“Umm, just met you.”
"Gosh my god."
[Jane Millas]
Kindness: +20
While Siervian put his fingers together and said this, everyone's fear seemed to have disappeared. Compared to the rumors, she was a more beautiful and younger princess than what they had heard.
'That's a relief. I think I left a good first impression.
The ladies-in-waiting immediately went to take care of their tasks that had to be completed, but when Ellie was left with Siervian alone in the room, she was very troubled.
“Daughter, what do you think of a lady named Jane just now?”
He remembered Jane's sad tone. And his liking seemed a little higher compared to others.
“He seems smart.”
When Sierra answered honestly, Ellie nodded. Then, with a determined expression, he spoke to the princess.
"Princess. Jane is the most experienced and the best among all of us. It might be best if Jane takes the position of butler.”.
[ Elli ]
Occupation: Chief Lady-in-waiting (Lv.50)
Mind: Jane will do a better job than me with this position.
However, Siervian immediately shook his head.
Of course, as she looked at Ellie's status window, her level slightly dropped after obtaining a new position as 'maid's head'. She was at level 60 when she was an ordinary ladyboy, but even that was inferior to Jane.
“Make. I like Eri.”
"…Thank you, princess."
Still, considering Sarah, the previous female butler, was only level 14, Ellie was much better.
So Siervian believed that he would improve gradually.
"I'll do my best."
Instead of answering, Siervian instead hugged Ellie, swelling with gratitude.
* * *
Since then, the Princess Palace has changed rapidly.
The biggest changes were also seen during the renovation of the garden.
'It's clean now!'
And of course, there are more employees working here.
Siervian walked happily along the small pedestrian area of the Princess Palace.
"I wish they could plant flowers too."
It would be better if there were a lot of flowers nearby.
The flowers would remind her of the lilac she had seen not long ago, and the handsome Karmen under the lilac tree.
"I'm sure he learned magic well."
Siervian quickly cleared his mind from him because there would be no more meetings between them in the future.
Instead, he remembered something else. He decided to go to another park somewhere else.
"Geez, is His Majesty going to come out?"
"Yes!"
Jane, who had a pile of sheets on her arm, noticed Siervian. She is one of those people who doesn't act differently from her mind, like Ellie, and the more Siervian meets her, the better she thinks about the older woman's personality.
“Hopefully your trip is safe.”
"okay!"
The motivated Siervian headed out of the Princess Palace for the first time in a long time. Ellie followed right beside him. There was nothing better than taking a walk so he could manage his thoughts.
'From now on, what should I do?'
The food waste incident has been resolved, but there is no guarantee that it will be okay now.
He knew enough how people were easily affected by the rumors.
'Hm. As expected, I should make better use of the status window so that I won't be hated.'
Being a princess is a dangerous position to have.
If he had excellent magic skills, he could go anywhere and act as a reliable hand and foot Emperor. Unfortunately, that was not an option for him.
'Oh, he said I smelled like mana.'
Suddenly, he remembered what Karmen had said. But he immediately shook his head. He was afraid to set expectations, only to be met with disappointment later on.
"Daughter."
At that moment, Ellie stopped and called out to Siervian in a small voice. As Siervian raised his head, he made eye contact with the Crown Prince who was walking nearby.
"I should have taken a different path."
