Baby Princess Through Status Window
Chapter 22's
The atmosphere became strange.
The two continued their conversation without paying attention to the food in front of them.
"Yes. I also made an animal sculpture for Siervian as a gift and she loved it very much.”
"Statue?"
“When the fork is made specially for snow cake, it is not pleasant for him because the fork will disappear after the cake is eaten.”
“Hm.”
[Erveldote Alderuan]
Mind: I can't believe I didn't think that. How could I make such a mistake.
In fact, Siervian knew that the fork was only for eating the cake, and it was a luxury to be able to eat the cake with a fork made with magic.
But he doesn't have much experience with eating dessert, so he may be right.
“He appreciated it so much that he asked me to put a conservation spell on it. And they say that she decorated her room with it.”
"Ha. It is not yet time for you to learn conservation magic. It's gonna melt soon."
"It'll be fine because I learned it first."
Siervian became nervous as the topic suddenly turned to the Crown Prince's magic skills. The magical abilities of the members of the Imperial Family were the same thing as their pride.
"Is that true, Siervy?"
Suddenly, their eyes were on him at once. Siervian, who held back as he looked at the steaming soup, gulped.
“Yes. It's cute. ”
The animal figurines were neatly placed on the dressing table in her room. Every day when Ellie combed her hair, she would see them.
Of course, they do not melt or break.
As the Crown Prince grew older, he would even become a match for the Emperor, who was the strongest magician in the Empire. If Karmen, the next master of the magic tower, were also considered, there would be three archmages in the Northern Empire alone.
"Did you take them to your room, Siervian?"
The moment he heard this praise, the Crown Prince's lips curved into a smile that almost dripped with honey. Instead, the Emperor's expression darkened as he looked at his son with disapproval.
“Yes. I really like rabbits and horses.”
Siervian felt much better as she recalled the cute ice sculptures she saw every day as her hair was combed.
It's funny to see a rabbit right next to a horse.
“Hm.”
And when he heard his honest words, this was all the Emperor said.
Then, their silent eating began.
The three people around the table did not say much at the meal, so Siervian immediately picked up his spoon, forgetting the strange atmosphere from before.
"I'm hungry, so it's a relief."
Meanwhile, his soup was not as hot as before, so he ate a lot today. However, the status window of the two people by his side sometimes made him wary. They're very strange.
[Damian Erveldote]
Mind: You'll just have breakfast without me. I need to find a way to come here every day.
[Erveldote Alderuan]
Mind: Animal sculpture.Hmm, animal…
Why did they both become like this?
Even as he pondered deeply, he was completely unable to understand it. So, he just focused on eating.
* * *
Two days later in the afternoon, Siervian took a walk, his mind complicated.
Once he reached adulthood, it would be best if he could live even with a small livelihood. Perhaps she could live well while taking care of flowers all her life.
Of course, he would still try to change things before that, but that was still a matter he had to think about.
"What if I get framed again?"
The day that Siervian was framed for treason was an ordinary day.
After being shown that she seemed to have gained a little weight a few days ago, Siervian did not drink black tea that day.
Sarah, who had worked as a butler until Siervian was fifteen, one day disappeared without a word. Only after his successor arrived—sent by Empress—Siervian realized that Sarah had stopped.
'Is it covered up?'
Around night time, the knights rushed to his room. The captain of the knights calmly showed him the Emperor's decree and apologized for his rudeness.
However, inside the Princess Palace, several black magic tools were found. And there was an altar that looked like a sacrificial table.
"That's things I've never seen before."
He doesn't even know what those things are for. In that ridiculous situation, Siervian was dragged helplessly.
In an Empire where pure magic was the standard, using black magic was considered a crime. The head of the new lady-in-waiting of the Princess Palace was also startled upon seeing them.
"Is he acting?"
As long as the Empress's liking remained low, Siervian had no choice but to be suspicious of her.
It may be a lie that the Empress claimed that Siervian was innocent while tears streamed down her face.
But could he do that just because Siervian bothered him?
'I don't have an idea.'
He doesn't know anything about it. It is too hard to understand others.
It was such a relief that she could find a little happiness as she waited for the meal time today. But instead, he even more wished he could get out of here as soon as possible.
'Where should I look next just to be safe?'
He suddenly thought that he was too naive.
Everything he learned in his past life was etiquette and some history. Siervian, who had learned nothing about magic or the history of the Empire, only knew how to drink tea and be elegant.
'What do people usually do?'
There were many things he had to do to prepare for the future. He also wanted to find a clue that indicated the reason why he should be executed.
But he wouldn't be able to learn anything if he continued like this.
Everyone says he doesn't need anything else. Siervian Erveldote was, after all, an incompetent princess.
'...But am I incompetent because I am completely incompetent, or because I cannot learn anything?'
As he left the Princess Palace, he heard the voice of the Emperor in front of him.
"Where are you going?"
Siervian looked at his father in wonder. And when he saw how shocked his daughter was, the Emperor glared at Hex, who was behind him.
[Erveldote Alderuan]
Mind: My daughter is surprised because of this person.
Actually, he was surprised because of his father, but he decided not to show this.
His gaze met his father as he looked down, waiting for his answer. But he wouldn't say he was out to find something he could do.
“Jwst to play outside.”
Given his father, it might be better if he disappeared. Especially since he knew beforehand that he was a member of the Imperial Family who was unable to fulfill his legacy of magical abilities.
And as he thought this, his heart was slightly stung.
"Did you promise to meet someone?"
"No."
As he shook his head gently, he put these thoughts aside.
Although it was only a little, he wanted to feel the warmth he was receiving now.
'Official education begins at the age of eight.'
At that time, his father will know anyway.
Conversely, if he remained humble as he looked at his status window, he wished he could continue reading his good thoughts.
“Hm. Then follow me.”
[Erveldote Alderuan]
Mind: You can look forward to it.
When she was asked suddenly, Siervian forgot what she was worried about and wondered about what she was reading.
Be expected?
Macoron?
“Ya.”
Staring at his daughter, Alderuan took the lead and walked forward.

Sierra quickly ran to his father's side. Thinking of the sweet dessert, his body could not hide his anticipation.
"I think my stamina has improved a lot."
As soon as she followed him, she felt more comfortable now as she followed her father's footsteps.
* * *
They arrived at the Emperor's private garden.
And as soon as they entered, Siervian was shocked.
"What do you think?"
In the center of the garden was a beautiful fountain with a statue of Fairy Mana in the center. And nearby, there were more sculptures the size of a house.
Everything is made of ice.
Their coldness reached his skin.
[Erveldote Alderuan]
Mind: My gift to you.
[ The hex ]
Mind: Oh my goodness, Your Majesty.
The Emperor's expression, as he looked at Siervian, was filled with indescribable anticipation.
“Large horse..”
I can't believe he gave me a gift. It was unimaginable to him in his previous life. Nevertheless, Siervian nodded stiffly.
“You don't like it?”
[Erveldote Alderuan]
Mind: I try my best to make animal sculptures because you like them.. Should I make rabbits?
His father even made this huge horse statue himself. So it became more difficult for him. What's he supposed to do?
“Eh. I like his horse. Very sweet. But.. Cwan Siervian does not do magic..”.
He did not want to see her disappointed face so he quickly made an excuse. He could not bear to keep this to himself because of his conscience.
“Hm? Sure oes. Aren't you still young?”
Naturally, the Emperor understood Siervian's words and that he was young so he could not yet use magic. Since he was part of the Imperial Family, his magical abilities would naturally come later.
After realizing this, Siervian tried hard to hide his bitter smile.
"It's too big so I can't take it ..."
The horse was silver in color, and glittered finely, probably because it was made of ice. He liked it because it was a huge statue that was very similar to the original. And it was like Peros, the famous horse of the First Emperor.
If he does not accept the gift given to him, the giver will misunderstand that he does not like it. Indeed, the Emperor's expression was very stiff now.
“Siervy.”
“Ya.”
Since the age of five, the Crown Prince has received an early education due to his outstanding talent in magic. He was one of the most outstanding in the Imperial bloodline. For him, making something float was easy.
Siervian, who raised his bowed head once more, was shocked by what he saw.
[Erveldote Alderuan]
Kindness: +100
Kindness: +100
Mind: You are trying to solve everything yourself. I know you will be a great example as a member of the Imperial Family in the future. As expected of my daughter.
"You can come here to see it."
Hearing the unexpected words, Siervian asked blankly.
"Huh? Over Here?"
Not just anyone can enter the Emperor's private garden …?
"Yes. You can come and see it anytime.”
"Thank you…?"
"Yes." Yeah."
His heart thumped after obtaining his permission. He realized that it was okay.

Mind: You like this…? Our daughter has a big heart.
The Emperor's private garden is famous for its beautiful flowers. He did not believe that he was allowed to continue coming here. It feels like a dream.
"Hm. This way."
[Erveldote Alderuan]
Mind: You seem to like it. I know that, I'm right.
While Siervian was secretly pleased, the Emperor pointed to the other side of the garden. It was a table next to a horse statue.
