Apparently, he's getting young again.
After pondering over it repeatedly over the past few days, Siervian finally admitted it.
“Dispway cabinet is still good. .”
Seeing that the blue gem cabinet was still intact, it was clear that this was the period before he was eight years old.
It was her favorite closet, but one day she went back to her room and found it broken. From that day on, there were rumors that the Imperial Princess was raging viciously.
"My hand . . . why don't I have the power. .”
Sensitive to the changes around him, Siervian stared at the closet and gripped his spoon once more.
The confusion continued in the next few days. At first, he thought it was a dream, but then realized that it was too realistic.
He would not be able to remember his childhood with this much detail.
[ Sarah ]
Mind: What's up with this kid lately. So annoying.
Sarah smiled sweetly, but beside her were words on the window.
Over the past few days, Siervian confirmed that Sarah's thoughts on the window changed according to her actions.
If the sentence displayed in the window really showed Sarah's mind, then the smile Siervian used to find solace was all fake.
"Are you uncomfortable anywhere, Princess?"
“I'm fine.”
Siervian's pronunciation is off because she still can't adapt to her young voice. The same goes for the small hand that grips his spoon.
This was definitely the Princess Palace where she grew up, but now everything was too big and too high.
"Go and eat now."
If he acted like before, he would have thought the soup was meant to be eaten before it cooled down, even if he could not taste anything.
Sarah is still smiling.
But the translucent window in front of him said something else.
[ Sarah ]
Mind: How many times do I have to repeat myself. Ugh.
The font in the window changes from time to time as it describes the true feelings of the window owner.
Sierra decided to call it the 'status window'.
'I was very surprised I could see their thoughts like this. . despite the shocking content.’
Today, the soup is sour and tasteless. It had no solid material, and there were too many peppers that he hated.
"If you continue to be picky, Your Majesty will be angry."
As Siervian lowered his hand, the Emperor rose to the forefront of his mind. Every time he thought about it, Siervian's expression would harden as he was reminded of the bright light that the death penalty tool emitted.
He won't be able to forget it.
“Oouuooh.”
Aside from the status window, Siervian had another dilemma.
“Lada, bad!”
"Daughter!"
Even though it was a bad meal, a princess should always display elegance.
Such is. He knows this.
But his body refused.
"It's not soup!"
Helpless, Siervian watched his hand push the soup bowl.
There was a reason why he could not control his own body like this.
In the mirror, he could see a status window hovering beside him.

Synchronization of body and soul · 1%
The current actions are in line with the body.
:◈:
The appearance of Sarah's status window is similar, but the words are different. There is also an unknown diamond function here.
The most prominent is the mention of “actions currently in line with the body.” It was a bleak sign that he would continue to act like a five-year-old regardless of his mental age.
This was why the words that came out of his lips were different from what he thought. He could not help but click his tongue on this.
Meanwhile, Sarah got up from her seat, looking like she could not help the annoyance she felt anymore.
“Then, do as you like.”
[ Sarah ]
Mind: Whatever. I have to go and report this.
The report?
Siervian, who reflexively flinched after seeing Sarah's stern face, could not hide her curious expression as she read the status window.
He could not hide his expression, like a child.
"Ellie, take care of the Princess."
"Yes." Yeah."
Sarah left the room without saying goodbye or asking permission to be dismissed. It seemed like it was because he underestimated Siervian.
It was very impolite to act like this in front of a princess, but Siervian only lowered her gaze.
'I don't know about anything else, but I do know that I shouldn't complain about the food. Especially me.'
Desperate, Siervian picked up the rough bread next to the soup. Made from low-quality grains, the bread was too big for his small hands so he could not hold it properly.
With such tasteless soup and bread like this, it made him wonder. It is strange that a growing child has this messy diet.
'Ah, I understand. I've been hated ever since.’
Siervian ate very little back then and left a lot of food on his plate, so he had no idea he was being treated to such terrible food.
Throughout this gloomy thought, he silently chewed on the fragile bread.
He let it go and just listened to what his young body wanted to do.
"Daughter."
“Ya?”
Ellie, who had been standing in the corner, approached Siervian. It was impressive how tight Ellie was with him, so she instantly felt nervous on reflex.
Ellie did not pay attention to Sierra's reaction. As he approached, for some reason he went to the door and looked out for a while, then rushed back.
Then, he took out a small piece of white bread from his sleeve and carefully extended it to Siervian.
"Please take this, Princess."
"This?"
"Yes." Yeah."
His behavior was a bit strange, but Siervian did not say anything.
Because he saw a floating window next to Ellie.

Ellie had a lower position than Sarah, but she had a much higher level than him. And his mind. . . a little strange.
The maid's facial expression did not change at all, but according to the status window, she seemed enthusiastic about Siervian food. He unconsciously bit.
“. . . !”
It felt very different from what he used to feel.
"This is softer, sweeter, and tastier bread!"
Ellie looked at Siervian's surprised expression indifferently.
He did not know that Siervian was looking closely at the floating window.

Her favorite point is also much higher than Sarah's.
Why is it like this?
* * *
"Well, let's use this ribbon for your hair today, Princess."
"No . .”
"Daughter, I'm sure the Emperor will be angry if you complain like this."
“Okaay.”
The thick, sea-colored ribbon on Sarah's hand did not match Siervian's black hair.
All the clothes in his closet were incompatible and the colors were all wrong. The materials used for them were all of high quality, so it was questionable how all of this happened.
"I don't care if the clothes don't suit me, but why is everything so fancy?"
Sarah's attitude is also strange. He actually had a friendly expression, but the words on his status window were too harsh.
He never listens to what Siervian says, but he will always answer that Siervian complains for no reason whenever he opens his mouth. And he would always mention that His Majesty would definitely be angry with him.
"Are you really going to get angry?"
Siervian frowned unconsciously. He was terrified just by thinking about his father.
As her body moved on its own to push the pepper soup, she experienced the experience of getting out of the body again.
'Scarying.'
While Siervian was trembling in fear, Ellie stood in front of him with an expressionless face. Then, the status window appears.
[ Elli ]
Atmosphere: Frustrated
Mind: Look at that hair, so soft and shiny. . . Letting it hang naturally already made it look like a painting. I can arrange it better. . . Sarah doesn't know how to use her hands.
Thanks to the status window, Siervian made it out of her fear.
But then he looked at the status window strangely.
That is a daunting advantage but it is very useful to have the ability to know what others are thinking.
"Please lift your head" murmured Sarah.
Since he could see what was inside, he knew what was really going on. Sarah, even as she spoke in a sweet voice, was being very rude now.
"Daughter, you have to keep your back straight" Ellie said.
On the other hand, even if Ellie's voice was a little rough, she couldn't help but feel her deepest by expressing her concern like this.
. . . If this status window could be put to good use, couldn't he prevent his enemy from hating him? Perhaps this time he could avoid execution in the future.
"Maybe my father?"
Maybe his father was the same as them, that he also felt different from what he was outwardly expressing?
Siervian had this brief thought, but he immediately shook his head.
To straighten out her posture, Sarah moved her head and quickly scolded Siervian—all while pretending to be sweet. Siervian's scalp was throbbing as Sarah accidentally pulled her hair.
'First of all, what reason made the Emperor aware of his actions.'
Father Siervian, the harsh ruler of the Empire, would not behave differently like everyone else.
That fleeting thought quickly disappeared from his mind, and all that was left for him to worry about was his small, undeveloped body that refused to move as he wished.
"But why am I dressing up today?"
Well, he doesn't look good at all, after all. The noble atmosphere of the Imperial Family still had to be reflected on the outside, so it was important for her to look dignified as a princess.
Sarah bathed Siervian, but did not dry her hair or bring her new clothes.
Food is only given once a day, and always pepper-laden soup with hard bread.
All the little jobs, like drying Siervian hair and dressing it in mismatched clothes, were Ellie's responsibility. Ellie did not talk to Siervian while doing so, but the status window in front of her would continue to show that she felt sorry for him.
"I want to go outside."
He had gone back in time, but it felt like he was imprisoned once again. His young body was especially uncomfortable in the palace.
"I'm going outside today?"
After dressing up for the first time in a long time, Siervian expectations increased. He thought he might go for a walk.
“Your Majesty will visit today. Have you forgotten, Your Majesty?”
[ Sarah ]
Mind: How stupid. I don't even remember how many times I told you.
Contrary to Siervian's earlier impression of her, Sarah's mind was like lightning striking across the bowed sky. Exasperatedly, he continued to comb Siervian's hair roughly.
"The Emperor's Majesty has arrived."
As soon as Siervian prepared, he heard the Emperor's footsteps outside the door.
'A-I'm scared. . . !’
The young Siervian's body trembled violently.
"I'm not ready to face it!"
Other than his body, the mature Siervian soul was also tense. In the end, he died after being abandoned by his father.
At that moment, the door opened. Sarah and Ellie bowed deeply and quickly stepped back.
Like a blizzard, a tall man with wavy silver hair walked into the room. He had an expression of indifference.
It was the same cold expression he remembered, but he now looked younger.
“Siervia.”
He needs to convey his greetings.
He would probably kill her again if not.
But the unexpected sight before her made her fixated in her chair.
There was a status window floating near the Emperor's chest.

Mind: It's a very cold day, but still it's a beautiful day because I can finally see my precious dear Siervian.
My arrival was delayed by a minute because the bloody duke was holding me back. Does his greed know no bounds? I must order a tax investigation on the duke to dig up dirt on him. At least it won't be a decapitation, so I'm quite compassionate.
. . . Daddy's?
