Baby Princess Through Status Window
Chapter 37's
The first day of the celebration is over.
This was because the young princess could not seem to focus on the celebration yet. Too many things happen at a party where a child is the main character.
"Are you having fun today, Princess?"
“Yaahhh..”
Of course, it wasn't because of Siervian's inability to focus. He was only busy looking at this place and that place because he lost track of the thief for a moment.
"Well, please say 'hore!' for me and raise your hand."
“Hore..”.
The party ended as he was reading through the status window of everyone who passed by. The Emperor watched carefully how he acted, and therefore, he sent him back early if he felt any pain.
"Now, please hold your nose."
"okay."
Of course, it was also true that he was tired of walking around with a body he could not yet control.
Even after Ellie bathed him, dressed him, and put him to bed, Siervian could not sleep.
'Why are there thieves in the imperial palace?'
Inside the dark bedroom, Siervian was still confused.
It was a big deal that a thief had entered the imperial palace. If one had an unclear background, they would not be able to enter the palace easily.
It was very strange because Siervian could not remember anything about this even though this was a big problem.
"I'm sure nothing like this happened."
He had never heard of the time when the imperial palace had been infiltrated by thieves.
Even if it was not announced to the public, rumors would at least come and go inside the palace.
'Maybe ... I will remember ...'
After all, his fatigue was chasing him. As he fell asleep, he tried to think of the good things that happened today that he would appreciate.
But then, it was at that moment that he recalled a memory, as if lightning had struck him.
'Harta ... Treasure ?!'
His drowsiness suddenly disappeared and Siervian sat down in a hurry. Both of his hands clenched over his blanket.
'The imperial palace treasure room robbery, was it around this time?'
The treasure room was where all the rarest riches of the imperial family were stored, and was located deep within that place.
Not only were there strict guards, but even magical defences.
Even so, when Siervian was young, this imperial treasure room had been raided.
"What's stolen again?"
Surprisingly, Siervian immediately recalled the event, but he could not remember what item was stolen.
Either he didn't hear what it was, or the stolen item didn't really matter.
However, Siervian still considers this case to be prevented.
'Dad will be attacked by the nobility with this later!'
When he was around fourteen years old, there was an incident that caused the defense of the imperial palace to be raised.
However, the nobles hated him whenever the emperor's authority was strengthened, so they nagged and attacked him ferociously. To be precise, the nobles tried to fill positions with people they recommended, who were not under the direct command of the emperor.
'I don't know much, but I hear he has to work very hard..'
It was a great blow to the emperor that he could not even prevent a robbery in the most guarded area of the palace. This incident became a political leverage that would definitely be used as ammunition.
"I'll stop it this time."
Clenching his little hand, Siervian made this vow.
While hoping his father would not have to suffer later.

On the second day of festivity, the age group of guests is lower than the previous day.
The descendants of every noble family crossed the threshold of the imperial palace. They were attending the birthday party of the imperial family members right now, but later in the future, they were the ones who would lead the empire.
“Siervian is the main character of the party, so sit here.”
"Yes." Yeah."
Birthday parties were originally aimed at building friendships naturally.
Thus, neither the emperor nor the empress attended today's event. The crown prince, of course, now had supreme authority.
[Damian Erveldote]
Mind: No one of Siervian equal is here, and only those who are allied with the Duchy are present. Mother, again…
Siervian did not think deeply, but as he read his thoughts, only then did he realize that the composition of the young lady and the young master who came was strange.
He thought that it was natural to become a stranger because he could not get close to people his previous age.
[Damian Erveldote]
Thought: It's a Siervian party, but this is too much. I have to protect her.
Siervian wasn't bullied as much as he thought.
Because his older brother was always close to him from start to finish and took very good care of him.
'Son't been this smart since he was young.'
Siervian inwardly matured, but the more he looked at his older brother, the more he was surprised at how smart he really was.
He admired her for a while, but Siervian's expression immediately tangled as he was reminded of an impending problem.
He is certainly grateful for the consideration of the crown prince of — but right now, there are thieves that he must catch.
"I didn't even know you were yesterday!"
Glancing to the side, Damian thought Siervian was tired of judging from his expression. So, he quickly pointed to the servant next to him.
Officers hurriedly moved to find someone.
Not long after that Karmen who was running from the other side of the room stepped forward.
"... I say hello ... Imperial Princess."
Siervian's eyes widened as he looked at Karmen.
Anyone knew that he had to come to this party.

Mind: You really are the Princess. I can't act like I know you.
Meanwhile, Karmen's fondness had increased by that much, but his mind was filled with anxiety.
Of course, Siervian also did not think they would meet again, but strangely, she could not force herself to pretend not to know him.
“Siervian, this is my apprentice who is under the supervision of the Tower Master, and his name is—”
"Carmen!"
“……”
Siervian nodded enthusiastically.
Karmen averted her gaze, but her fondness continued to rise, betraying her honest feelings.
“Two times last, Sebian got lost and Karmen helped.”
"Is that so?"
As if holding the rest as their secret, Siervian deliberately winked at Karmen.

Minds: Crazy. You've become sweeter since the last time we met? I really didn't want to come to the party because of Damian's punk.
"It's not a big deal."
Beyond a doubt, Karmen appears to have a deeper friendship with the crown prince.
Even though he spoke with the right honor, his unique grunting tone remained the same.
[Damian Erveldote]
Mind: It's good. After all there was no one else who could help Siervian at this party. Karmen is a good person, so he will be of great help to Siervian in the future.
It was only a feast for the little ones, but the crown prince seemed to have a lot of thoughts.
Siervian was able to understand where it came from, as he himself had once lived as a member of the imperial family. He only felt sorry for his elder brother because he struggled even at this kind of event.
"You two will be good friends."
"Looks, yeah…"
"okay!"

And the same goes for Karmen, who remains aware of her status being deemed inappropriate in this position.
Suffering from this, Siervian picked up a few macarons in front of him and handed each one to the two of them.
[Damian Erveldote]
Mind: Siervian releases his macaron…! I know that, I have to write about this day in my magic book to commemorate this day!
No, uh, you don't have to go that far.
[Karmen Kaselov ]
Mind: Urk, what is this? It's very sweet. Do all nobles live with sweets like this?
Unfortunately, however, Karmen was unhappy with the macaron.
Feeling sad for him, Siervian specifically gave him one more macaron.
"Thank you."

Siervian saw her fondness rise, so obviously she still liked it even though her mind was not pointing there.
Siervian nodded proudly.
"Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, congratulations today."
Just then, an oily-faced young man approached them.
“... The person you should congratulate is another person, Young Count.”
The crown prince replied quickly to a misguided greeting.
He was the son of a noble, his household was a distant relative of the duchy.
“For the Princess, yes. He's young, so even if I greet him..”.
[Karmen Kaselov ]
Mind: This boy...Want to die?
As Karmen stood beside the other child, her eyebrows twitched rapidly.
Looking at Karmen's brutal thinking, to the point that Siervian pulled his sleeves involuntarily.
Perhaps it caught the young master's attention, but his sharp gaze turned to Siervian's hand, then to his face.
“I can't believe even a lowly person attends a party like this, so for Her Majesty appreciate the Princess for this former—”
"Young Master Garske."
“... Yes, Your Highness.”
He spoke nonstop as much as he could, until the crown prince's sharp tone cut him off.
Shocked by the crown prince's reaction, the young master quickly lowered his head. Still, only against the crown prince.
"How dare you be insolent in front of a member of the Imperial Family, yet try to be forgiven."
“K-Your Majesty..”
His father, the count, also mentioned this and that, so the young master had of course heard rumors about the imperial princess. Even if the empress acted like she cared for the princess, the true story was different.
So naturally, he thought the crown prince was just pretending, pretending to take care of the princess even though he actually found it annoying.
"In addition, you insult my friend."
As Damian said this, a powerful mana flow struck the young master. That was how the members of the imperial family who had strong magic power suppressed people.
Despite being young, the crown prince's superiority was similar to that of the emperor.
"What are you waiting for? Guards!”
"Yes, Your Majesty."
“Bring him away at once. I will face the Count about this great humiliation soon.”
“Y-Your Majesty, it was a mistake! Your majesty!"
Even to the end, the bastard did not apologize to the princess nor Karmen. Enraged by this fact, the crown prince's sharp gaze looked around the garden.
It would be troublesome if her mother heard about this, but she was confident enough to cover it up as much as she could.
"I'm sorry, Siervian."
"No! He's a bad guy!”
In fact, Siervian is fine. He was used to people looking down on him.
However, he did not like it when Karmen was insulted.
So, as he gasped for breath, he honestly spoke his mind.
“Carmen speaks weird but Karmen is good! Sebi angry!”
"That's fine. Karmen has a bad personality, but he is a good guy. I will often scold that jerk.”
“... What the two of you are talking about.”
