His young body, which had struggled to sit still for a while now, lost its grip on rational judgment the moment he heard his father's words.
He wanted to live a life where he would not be misunderstood, but he was afraid that the Emperor would rebuke him so loudly that he would cry.
He was afraid that he would not be able to hear that awkward nickname anymore.
[Erveldote Alderuan]
Mind: I don't know that you're a smart kid so you'll understand.
But before she cried, she managed to read the status window.
Still, his rationality would not return to his body. Even so, after reading this, he had one thought.
That his father's decision was in the best interests of the people all along.
“I t-dun want people hurt. You have to do p-womise. ”
She wanted him to know that she did not blame him, but asked out of curiosity. Perhaps that was why the things he was thinking about in his head instantly came out of his lips before he could cover his mouth.
"I can't do this!"
It was not something he had personally thought of. That's proper etiquette. Moreover, the Emperor did not need to promise anything like that.
But because of his body age, he could think of nothing to say. His mind went blank and he could not find the right words.
'What do I do…'
Eventually, her unwanted tears would explode.
"Good."
His father replied casually, as if it was nothing.
“I make mwista... Hah?”
He would ask for forgiveness reflexively, but he widened his eyes and looked up.
The emperor who was leaning on his chair still looked indifferent. It was as if what her daughter was asking for was to have a different flavored macaroni, not something like that.
“Good intentions are more important than anything. The Princess knows this well.”
“……?”
"So, go and send the Princess' orders immediately."
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Just now, the order that the Emperor had given under his authority was quickly canceled.
Cowering in this sudden situation, Siervian looked to the chancellor's status window this time. He was sure he would not like it because he did not approve of the idea before.
Moreover, she had defied the Emperor's will and the order became the command of the 'Daughter'.'
"I don't want this!"
His mind is fucked. He knew that this matter was not something that should involve a child. That's why he's afraid to see his thoughts.
[ The hex ]
Mind: I can't believe he's been so virtuous. I didn't think straight before.
However, when he looked at his status window, Siervian could only widen his eyes in shock.
What the hell is going on?
“Your hands get dirty. You can eat the new one here.”
A group fainted while the lights flocked to the hand holding the crushed macaron. Just now, he had forgotten that he was scared, and he looked at his hand, hooked.
A refreshing stream of small water wrapped around his small hand, then immediately disappeared. There was no trace of the macaroni being destroyed.
"Hurry up and eat now."
“Oke.”
Immersed in his own thoughts, he blindly picked up another macaron in front of him.
The Emperor looked calm as if he had never issued his own orders a while ago. He was even close to crying, but this was too different from what he had expected.
"Why isn't he angry?"
The authority of the Emperor was absolute, and Alderuan was considered the most powerful king in the empire since the first emperor.
But he changed his mind...just because his daughter said something?
“If you don't like macarons, this time you can try this one.”
"Yes…"
“Chancellor, back to issue orders now. And make a follow-up report.”
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Siervian stared blankly at Hex as he turned around. But shouldn't he be against the inclusion of the Princess' name on it even now?
[Erveldote Alderuan]
Mind: You must be terrified when you call an epidemic. But I'm glad you didn't cry.
He felt awkward, thinking that his father did not take this situation seriously. Even so, he was glad his father understood his rambling words even though he was afraid.
"It feels weird."
Previously, his father would have been determined not to send any help to Garambell. And in history he knows, that's why the kingdom was destroyed, even if it wasn't the intention of the empire.
[Erveldote Alderuan]
Mind: You are so kind that you worry about people you don't even know. That's mydaughter.
And it was even stranger that his words had this much influence on his father.
His heart is not calm.
He continued to feel awkward and uncomfortable. To the extent that he could not taste the sweetness of macarons anymore.
His body is relaxed. He was not against the Emperor thinking this way. Right now, he was just a scared little boy.
"Where are you going?"
But once he relaxed and released his anxiety, he immediately lost control of his body.
In this serious situation, Siervian began to jump cheerfully with the macaron still in one hand. He immediately went to where he had been sitting before and noticed the flowers.
'No!'
He should stay by his father's side and be alert! He needed to observe her to see if she was offended!
Hating his body for moving regardless of his will, he could only sigh inwardly.

"It's something big."
The Princess, who was only five years old, caused a huge uproar.
The Emperor did not allow this. Of course, the ministers were thrown into a state of chaos because they had to know what His Majesty was trying to do.
"It's not good to stand out."
Hex seemed to have heard about those who were eagerly figuring out why his name had suddenly appeared.
When the Princess changed her mind, there were many terrible rumors that appeared.
"Wouldn't His Majesty come out today as well?"
[ Elli ]
Mind: Is Your Majesty feeling weak again today? Its bad.
It is impossible to forget this fact. From that day on, every time he came out, the eyes that looked at him became strange.
“I don't want to go out..”
If it was just that, he could only pretend not to care about them. But then, Siervian could also read their minds one after another.
[ Elli ]
Mind: You don't have a fever.May be sick to your stomach.
Siervian even refused to eat the snacks Ellie had prepared, so she was very worried.
"It's not weird that Ellie's worried like this."
But he couldn't smile this time. There were so many worries that bothered him.
'What if history doesn't work out as it should?'
It's great that many people in Garambell won't be in danger anymore.
However, if history were to change as the epidemic did not break out, it would be a very dangerous situation for Sierra. It seemed like the empire suffered a huge loss as the princess begged to save Garambell.
"But I can't just shut up."
No matter how much he thought about it, he still concluded that helping Garambell right now was the right thing. His eyes quickly filled with tears.
The Imperial Family was in that position. In an instant, a trivial action turned into a major decision that would cause many rumors.
"What if there's another rumor that I'm a terrible princess?"
And he was so afraid that there would be terrible rumors about him that changed the Emperor's decision. He just wanted to live unnoticed, and once he grew up, he would leave immediately.
Due to this concern, Siervian held onto the doll that she had been hugging for the past few days.
“Um. Maybe there's something Your Majesty wants to eat?”
“No... None..”.
Surprisingly, he did not even have an appetite.
Coincidentally, breakfast with his father and brother stopped a few days ago. There was only the message that they were busy dealing with the preparations of the hurricane season, and the matter of sending medicinal herbs to Garambell immediately.
"It will be very difficult to get out when the hurricane season is near."
He had never seen it, but he heard that even monsters would come out when the weather was turbulent.
Her brother was also busy because he heard she was helping the Emperor.
"I don't have any motivation."
Fortunately, the Emperor Palace and the Crown Prince's Palace had sent messengers before to inform the Princess about the news.
However, after he started to eat breakfast alone again, strangely he had no appetite. It hasn't been long since they started eating together, but now it feels empty to eat alone.
"I have to put it together."
Touching the doll again, Siervian tried to control her state of mind.
He didn't know when they would come again. Since the breakfast they were having together started so suddenly, it was very possible to end it abruptly. So he shouldn't be sad though it's only natural that no one comes again.
"Daughter, I'll bring you some warm milk."
“Okey..”
When she doesn't even eat snacks, Ellie goes out. But Siervian saw how Ellie had a terrifying thought as she left the room.
[ Elli ]
Mind: I must ask Your Majesty.
Surprised, Siervian got up in a hurry and grabbed Ellie. If he were to send such a useless report to the busy Emperor, it would only be a disaster.
“Eri!”
"Do you want anything other than milk, Princess?"
"No, don't go."
Because she was confused, she couldn't explain why she wanted Ellie to stay. It's not like he can say that he read Ellie's mind.
As Siervian clung to the servant's clothes and carelessly pleaded with her not to leave, Ellie put a confused expression on her face.
[ Elli ]
Mind: Your Majesty does not want to be alone. Okay, I'll be here for you.
