Baby Princess Through Status Window
Chapter 28's
As the Emperor listened to the report, he frowned.
Endemic diseases on the west coast are always a prolonged headache.
Until it was discovered that the Pharim potion could be the solution to it, the western region was just a vast landmass that was almost neglected.
"How did he come to the conclusion that it was artificial?"
No one else on the continent knows how important it is to manage endemic diseases.
Nevertheless, it should not be possible in any reasonable way to artificially propagate it.
“When the Captain arrives, the first thing he does is get a map showing where the epidemic is more intensive so that he can lead the transportation of herbs more efficiently.”
"Map?"
“Ya, sir. It's right here."
Then, the rector handed the map to him.
It would be best if the captain was here to report directly, but he quarantined himself for now because he was in a dangerous area.
"It must be suspicious."
On the map, the areas where epidemics have spread are conspicuously separated at very uniform intervals.
It was as if someone had spread the disease evenly.
Seeing the suspicious signs on the map, the rector inwardly sweated.
Something big is happening.
"Did King Garambell say anything else?"
“Most members of the royal family suffer from this disease. As you can see, the royal palace is also an area where the disease is spreading intensively. ”
"Hm."
As the Emperor tapped on the throne with a regular tempo, a voice rang through the throne room for a while.
Hex could only think that it was a voice that made people feel nervous even though they had no sin.
“Almost seems like a coincidence.”
Emperor Alderuan recalled how the medicinal herbs that were heading to Garambell back then had disappeared once.
And that's even at the right time before hurricane season starts.
"In hindsight, Pharim's potion that was destroyed by the bandits had gone slower than usual."
“That's right, Your Majesty. Because of the state of Marquis Parma when he was in charge of transporting Pharim.”.
The chancellor was silent. There are too many coincidences around herbs.
When coincidences like this overlap, it seems inevitable.
“Even if something seems strange, this is the moment where we can't move.”
The officer in charge of transportation that raises such suspicions hastily left Garambell as they had to return before the hurricane season began.
Even if they tried to investigate and probe the matter more deeply, it would be difficult to move within the empire for the next month.
And there will be enough time to destroy the evidence.
"Look at Marquis Parma first."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
"Stay silent for now in case there are spies."
There may be someone inside the palace who has colluded with this conspiracy.
He thought of the names of several households in his mind, but it wasn't easy to find a suspect who had the motive to push the far-flung kingdom closer to destruction.
At that moment, the Hex Chancellor carefully spoke to the resentful Emperor, deep in thought.
"But the damage won't be too significant since Pharim's herbs arrived on time."
"Good."
"Isn't this all thanks to His Majesty's insight for heeding His Majesty's request?"
At Hex's comment, Emperor Alderuan's lips, which had been distorted due to displeasure since before, instantly loosened.
Whatever they planned, they failed this time.
“This is all thanks to my daughter.”
And after hearing something like that, Hex could feel himself sweating.
He also knew the rumors circulating in the palace.
The little actions of the princess were proportionately blown out bit by bit. Even if this was something related to the Imperial Family, the rate of spreading rumors was a little excessive.
“She hasn't even started her formal education yet, but I can't believe she knows the importance of appointments well. I'm so proud of him.”
Some rumors crossed the line, saying that the Emperor himself was being swayed by the princess.
The emperor did not care at all, even though he knew that.
Instead, they were busy praising the princess.
There are some things that are difficult for Hex to agree on.
“As expected, my daughter has a good heart because she resembles this father. He bravely offers to save a kingdom that even he does not know his position on the map.”
By remaining silent, Hex wisely handled this absurd situation.
The rumors were mostly true about the Emperor.
After all, he already knew that the Emperor liked the princess, but Hex still could not believe how his cold personality would soften just by mentioning her.
Hex was very good at hiding his shock from his expression. Meanwhile, he interpreted the situation in his own way.
Because the princess is so cute, how else.

The storm season has begun.
It was always cold in the northern region, but for the next month, it would be wracked by storms and blizzards.
The bitter weather will only last for one month, and after the season, the weather will remain cold but at least it can still be withheld.
No one knows why storms are concentrated only during this season.
"True, it's almost my birthday."
Sierra's birthday happens to be in the middle of hurricane season, when the weather is coldest and most severe.
And in his previous life, his sixth birthday passed quietly even without celebration.
"I wasn't in a situation to throw a party back then."
Public opinion against him at the time was not good because the food waste incident had broken out.
In addition, news that Garambell was on the verge of collapse swept the empire only after hurricane season began. Through the communication of magic, the Imperial Palace heard the news.
So the Empress came forward and suggested that they let this time pass quietly.
'Mm, I don't remember much.
The empress said that they could calmly celebrate Siervian's birthday later, pretending that it was for her sake.
Sierra could still remember one thing clearly.
On her birthday, she sat in a cold, dark room and just looked out the window to see the blizzard.
"This time, will it be a little different?"
A lot has changed since then.
Garambell wasn't destroyed and he wasn't caught up in any bad rumors. So maybe there'll be a banquet for his birthday. Anyway, it's a habit.
But he shouldn't expect too much.
'By the way, I'll be able to eat with Dad or Sister.'
It would be scary if he was too greedy.
Now, the fact that there would be someone with her was enough to warm her heart. It was different from the storm outside.
"Daughter, His Highness the Crown Prince has come to see you."
At that moment when she was deep in thought staring out the window, Jane carefully approached her to let her know.
Ellie, who was next to Sierra, widened her eyes.
"Should I invite Your Majesty to your room, Princess?"
It was sudden, but the ladies-in-waiting calmly greeted the crown prince. They have adapted recently because he comes more often.
Both the crown prince and the princess were young, so there was no problem with etiquette upon entering each other's rooms.
Siervian, who became sad when he saw the storm outside, slightly nodded as he was too lethargic to go outside.
“Siervia.”

It was slightly inferior to his father, but his brother's fondness caught his attention.
He was thinking about his lonely past, so it was comforting.
But anyway, what happened?
“Bwo.”
Unlike the Emperor, Damien had yet to return to his usual breakfast. The Emperor told Siervian that he was very busy finishing work outside.
Siervian did not ask in detail because he did not want to disturb her. He just thought that he was amazing doing all that even though he was young.
“...Siervia.”
“Ya.”
But today, he came in a hurry, and it seemed like he was hesitant to speak. Even today, his expression was stiff.
He wondered what was going on, so he looked at her. But then something random came out of his lips.
"I heard you cry."
"But I'm not cwy ..."
Well he did, but he didn't.
Her brother must have heard that strange rumor.
He didn't want her to misunderstand, so he thought he should explain, but then something white appeared in front of him.
"It's a gift."
"Huh?"
It was snow shaped like a real rabbit.
But it's kind of weird. One ear was slightly crushed, and two rabbit teeth were uneven.
“...I'll make it better next time.”
He made it himself.
Sierra took what he gave her.
It was amazing that he could not even feel how cold it was. Maybe it was because of her preservation magic.
But why did he suddenly give her a gift?”
[Damian Erveldote]
Mind: I heard that Siervian was worried, that's why I helped out with the work. I didn't know you were lonely. I should have come to eat.
Only after seeing his thoughts did Siervian understand his random reward.
It's like an apology to him.
Gently touching the crushed ears of the rabbit with small hands, he knew it was not perfect, but it was a gift that was clearly something made with a lot of effort.
His gray heart strangely turned white like a rabbit.
“Thank you.”

Kindness: +100
Siervian managed to express her gratitude, and her likes increased.
He did not forget to say that he would decorate his room with rabbits.
The crown prince nodded silently when he heard this.
"OKAY. See you in the morning."
“OK!”
As if he was done with his duties here, the crown prince turned around without regret and left the room.
But as he did so, he could feel his ear tips heating up. Seeing Siervian hugging a rabbit that was the same size as her face was really cute.
* * *
Siervian smiled silently at the adorable rabbit that was in his hand.
The rabbit that the crown prince gave him yesterday is in the window frame. It caught his attention every time he looked out the window.
"I wish I could live like this."
He didn't expect much.
How wonderful was it to have a life where he could feel a little warmth?
'How much can I change?'
Before he was framed for a crime he hadn't committed in his previous life, there was some talk of his political involvement with a kingdom in the south. The Empress was the one who strongly supported this union.
He still did not know why it was happening in the southern kingdom. After all, a political marriage was still inevitable as long as she was a princess.
"But I don't want to go that far."
When she learns that there are marriage talks with her and a faraway kingdom, Siervian has visited her father of her own accord for the first time in her life.
