The request was unexpected for Emperor Alderuan, but it was not strange if he asked for it.
This was because, just in case he was too afraid of what happened yesterday, it was explained to him that the purpose of the criminal was not to kidnap him, but to steal something in the treasure room.
That was why it was only natural for the child to be interested in the treasure room.
"Here you go, Siervy."
"Wow…"
As they went further inside than yesterday when the thief was captured, Siervian saw the majestic dome-like structure.
There was a white corridor in front that was connected to this place. The pillars carved with colorful carvings lined up on its sides, and between those pillars, an unusually bright sunlight seeped in.
At first glance, this place looks just a small and simple musala.
"It's the first time I've been this close to the treasure room."
Walking down the hall beside his father, Siervian could not hide his curiosity.
This was because, unexpectedly, the treasure room was not too big. Especially since she was still the size of a child right now, and she still thought her room was not that big.
"You must think that the treasure room is smaller than you think."
"Yes." Yeah."
Siervian looked up when he heard his father speak. His voice sounded amazing with the acoustics in this place.
"You'll be more surprised when you come in."
[Alderuan Erveldote]
Thought: I hope Siervy can remember this far into the future.
There was an unusual sense of excitement in his words. Thanks to this, Siervian was unable to control his pounding heart.
They immediately approached the small white door. It seems like only one person can get through it.
There was a pattern of two blue wolves facing each other at the door, and this was the symbol of the imperial family.
“Blue wolf...”
"That's fine. It is the symbol of our imperial family.”
With his father's proud statement, Siervian carefully examined the symbol.
As he looked at it for a long time, the wolves suddenly seemed to move as if they were alive.
“Uwah..”
[Alderuan Erveldote]
Mind: Did it surprise you? The wolf carving seems to amaze you.
He thought it had something to do with magic, but his father's reaction was a bit strange.
Before he could express his doubt, the emperor reached out to the door.
This treasure room responded to mana that was unique to the imperial family. After you learn how to use magic later, you can come here alone, Siervy.”
“Ya..”
It's sad, but it won't happen in the future.
That's why Siervian is more excited about exploring the treasure room now. This may be the last time he's allowed here.
“Then, let's go in now.”
A cluster of bright light shot out from Alderuan's fingertips.
When he put pure mana into the door, the wolf carving shone. As if it had not been tightly closed just now, the entrance was wide open.
“Wah..”
As soon as the door opened, Siervian doubted his own eyes.
Obviously, the dome looked very small from the outside and he knew that he could explore the entire place with just a few steps. However, the inside he could see through the open door was vast.
“You can't leave my side today because it's dangerous, Siervy. Although it doesn't look like it.”
"Why?"
“There's a magic spell in place. If unauthorized people enter, they will get lost. Once you are a little older, you can use your own mana to get out of the spell, but it is better to be careful for now.
He had expected that there would be a safety spell, but he suddenly became scared. Even so, he had no plans to leave his father's side, so he was more determined.
Siervian tried to straighten his posture, then he nodded.
"Sebi's gonna be a caweful."

At that moment, so many status windows suddenly appeared before his eyes.
When she looked around in amazement, her little hand involuntarily tightened over her father's hand.
“Hm. You look scared. Don't worry."
"okay."
What a strange reaction. He really showed his determination!
But since Siervian's hand was already in his, he decided to let go. It made him feel relieved just by holding his hand.
It's all because his young body moves on its own, really.
“There is a space expansion spell inside the treasure room. However, that type of spell is now considered a forgotten magic.”
"Well…"
With sparkling eyes, Siervian entered.
The treasure room, where all kinds of rare items were neatly displayed, was beyond his imagination.
Most of the information about the treasure room was hidden and kept completely secret, so this was all a new adventure for him.
"Life!"
[Alderuan Erveldote]
Thought: I have a hunch that this must be the thief's goal. The personal items of the first emperor would be treated as extremely rare treasures no matter where you went.
Siervian also learned that the captured thief had died, so it was impossible to know what exactly he was trying to steal.
As he had expected, he confirmed by looking at the status window of many people that the treasure room was really a thief's agenda.
He looked around to look at the treasure, and when he turned around and saw the new emperor's speculative thoughts, his curiosity reappeared once again.
[Alderuan Erveldote]
Mind: I wonder what it is. Maybe that's which ice cubes are the most expensive.
As Siervian read his thoughts, inwardly he shook his head. Then, he looked to one particular corner on the side.
"That one."
The first emperor's staff.
That's the purpose of the thief.
Just before he fainted from the crown prince's magic attack, Siervian managed to figure out the thief's true purpose.
“What is it?”
As if something had caught his attention for no reason, Siervian casually asked. Then, he raised a hand that was not held by his father, then brandished his little finger.
“Hm? It was the stick that the first emperor used. It had great meaning, but its magical value was not very great. I'm sure he only used it when he was an apprentice? ”
“Oohh..”.
The more he listened to his explanation, the more suspicious he became.
No matter how valuable the first emperor's personal items were, why would a thief step into the imperial treasure room and obtain all those items?
[Alderuan Erveldote]
Mind: Come to think of it, it is also questionable how the criminal was planning to enter this place. Perhaps he did not know that only the imperial family could enter this room without any problems.
Since the thief had been arrested before he could do anything, his father seemed to think that it was a simple occurrence.
However, because he knew about which object to steal and because of his memories of his previous life, Siervian's questions piled up.
'How did the thief in my previous life get out of this place when he was supposed to get lost?'
Alderuan took another step forward and casually explained to Siervian more about the first emperor's items.
The small warmth he could feel in his palm could not be more precious. Seeing his daughter look everywhere with sparkling eyes, Alderuan felt even more proud.
“We also collect many ordinary gems here. For example, there are some personal items of the imperial family.”
They just walked forward, but the passage seemed to continue without end. If this was a normal space, they would have been near the southern entrance by now.
And if his father did not explain at first, he would think that he was wandering through hallucination magic.
'Wax place...! That's the secret way!’
At some point, decorative candles that do not provide any illumination appear.
Instead, the places where the fire was supposed to be lit shone with a subtle magical ball of light.
Then, at the end of the hall was a candle holder right in the middle of the wall.
"I think this one."
The candle did not look too different from the others.
However, due to the bright illumination around them, Siervian was able to see different carvings underneath.
'There's pattern... The sephinel?'
The purple petals of the flower make it clear that it is a sephinel flower, and there is a legend that it is the flower where the Mana Fairy lived. Siervian could only see him now because of how small he was.
“Now, this is the end of the treasure room. Do you want to explore more?”
“Tidaaaak..”

Sierv."
"Mmm."
She was already in his father's arms, but he had to make her carry him more. So, she tried to stay awake, but instead, she instead buried her face on her father's shoulder comfortably.
As he slowly fell asleep, Siervian thought about his questions one by one.
What's at the end of the secret path?
Why would the thief steal that one specifically?
And the one who hired him to do it. Who is it?
* * *
After her birthday party, her peaceful everyday life returns.
Siervian has never been happier. This was because he was proud of the fact that his knowledge of the future helped his family.
"I want to keep helping."
He has not revealed that he knew what the thieves originally wanted to steal or the secret passageway he planned to use to escape. But, Siervian decided to do it slowly.
At this rate, it might not end up going through the same death sentence.
If he could continue to do well, he might be able to stay with his family and be happy!
"I have to stay strong."
Clenching his hands silently, Siervian made a vow of silence.
She didn't even know that Jane was trying to hold back a laugh because she saw the princess' cute expression.
“Nah, Princess. This is the latest property list from Putri Palace.”
“Mmmh, Sebi don't know..”.
While reacting like a child, he quietly read the property list.
And, as soon as he scanned the item written there, his eyes became as wide as a cup.
