Even at a glance, what was written was very clear — and it was a ridiculous amount of gold.
‘Why is there this much?’
Ellie calmly placed the list in front of Siervian and continued to explain.
The emperor was the one in charge of her at the moment, but as the imperial princess, she should know how to govern herself in the future.
“It's okay, Princess. You can read all the letters slowly after you learn them.”
Siervian continued reading the list as if he was possessed, then he blinked in surprise. He had forgotten that he had not officially learned to read.
First of all, he calmed his pounding heart and quickly gulped.
"I brought it to His Majesty to see how he is today."
Fortunately, Ellie seems to think that only curiosity forces Siervian views to linger on those letters and numbers.
As soon as she skimmed the property list, the lady-in-waiting took Siervian to another place within the Princess Palace.
In his previous life, the palace was covered in dust and was always empty, but now it was lavishly decorated and had a soft carpet on the ground.
“See, Princess. You have received so many gifts!
The room was full of gifts, both big and small. Looking at the pile of gifts higher than himself, Siervian looked around in confusion.
“All gifts for Sebi..?”
"Yes, Princess."
Of course, since they were in his palace, it must have been a gift for him. But it still doesn't feel real.
In his previous life, no one would pass on such devotion to such a shameful and temperamental imperial princess.
"Do you want to open them one by one?"
"Yes!"
[Eylie]
Mind: They've been filtered, but I have to be by His Majesty's side just in case. Our precious daughter must not be hurt.
Reading the status window of the ladies waiting next to him, Siervian discovered that these gifts had gone through a magic scan before.
It was incredible because all of that seemed to be a natural thing for a princess to have.
It was natural that he was loved like this.
“Yes, Your Honor. As you mentioned, macarons have been given to people in the slums.”
Jane says this when she hands the gift to Siervian.
“Mmh. Thank you yes.”

“Our daughter, my goodness. You have a beautiful heart.”
The macaron house he received from his father is heartwarming, but there is one unfortunate fact.
That macarons can only be eaten after a certain time has passed.
‘Do not waste any more food!’
Of course, Siervian knew this in his previous life.
Nevertheless, as she was surrounded by love around her now, she still brought that lesson with her.
The reason why they were all so angry was because food was thrown away back then.
'This is an important matter for commoners. So as a princess, I can't be a wasteful person.’
So when he was enlightened, he used the pain he had experienced in his previous life and turned it into something new.
She wanted to become a more respectable imperial princess that her family could be proud of.
“Eri, brother? Did you give me some macawons? Jane too? Did you give it to your family?”
That's why he asked his father about it, to have his food distributed to the children in the slums rather than thrown away.
She had already asked for a different wish from him, but her father was somewhat willing to grant her another one.
“Of course, Princess. Thanks to Your Majesty, my brother ate something very tasty. Thank you." Thank you."
“My family too. Thank you, princess."
"Hehe…"
Hearing the soft words from the ladies, Siervian lowered his head in embarrassment.
Although he used to hug his puppet tightly, strangely a smile was on his lips.
"Gosh my god."
"Daughter!"

Whenever he thought of the slums, he thought of Karmen. He sent her more macarons in particular, so he must have shared them with the children he considered to be younger siblings.
Despite her outspoken manner of speaking, Karmen herself must have eaten a lot of macaroni already!
"After this, do you want to have some drinks?"
"Yes!"
Recently, Siervian discovered how good fruit juice is.
It was nice now that they could eat fruits from the south because the hurricane season had ended.
And once the hurricane season is over, it means the social season will soon run smoothly.
"I don't have a good memory of high society, but still."
He was very happy to be able to enjoy these various fruits, which could not come to the empire before.
"But you know, I kind of have a lot of money."
His heart was racing as he thought about the total amount he saw at the bottom of the property list.
However, on the one hand, he still wanted to learn more.
He wanted to know how big the number was, and he wanted to know what he had to do to live with his family.
"I need someone to guide me."
That's why Siervian felt the need to have a teacher.
Not only in history class, but also a teacher who would tell Siervian about the true reality of the world.
"And I need someone to move for me."
This time, the innocent ladies were almost injured while trying to catch the thief.
Siervian himself might also be in danger if his father did not give him a companion knight before.
"I don't want anyone to be in danger."
As she let go of the gift in her little hand, she was deep in thought.
Who should he be looking for?
* * *
“…….”
Peeping, peeping.
“……”
Over the past few days, Siervian eagerly exited the lower administrative offices.
And the young man who attracted his attention was from the Ministry of Finance.
"What about that guy?"
He had many requirements for the teacher he was looking for considering they would teach him about life.
First of all, it had to be someone who would not hold back from telling the truth, even with her status as a princess.
And although they should not be bad people, they should also have enough favorite points for Siervian.
'And it has to be someone who can be my hands and feet.'
Even though he did not know how to deal with others, he knew that unilateral relationships would not last long.
In his previous life, there were also others who approached him despite being known as evil princesses. But shortly thereafter, the man was disappointed in him when it was discovered that Siervian could not return anything.
That much need is important to humans. Unlike when she was known as an evil princess, it would be best if she could have a give and take relationship with her new teacher.
'As expected, it must be him.'
In that case, the one person who was right caught his attention.

Mind: I know that, I have to hand over this month's salary to Gabriel's company. 13% of the annual interest may be lost in the future. Ah, I want to earn a lot of money. I want to be like the new rich man. I wish I could take a big chunk of gold by the side of the road or something.
Wouldn't it be better to find someone from the Ministry of Finance to inquire about money?
With such a simple idea, Siervian discovered an incredible talent in this place.
* * *
The princess had been lurking behind him for a few days.
“……”
With the back of his head feeling hot due to his constant gaze, Marco awkwardly drafted the documents in front of him.
The princess has been coming to the lower administrative offices every day lately, and for everyone, she is like a celebrity.
Although of course, everyone pretends not to see it.
This was due to the emperor's strict order to let the princess move freely because she was so shy.
The emperor said this command in a graceful manner, but it was not very clear what it meant. Maybe just cover their eyes well so that the princess is not confused?
“Hm, hmmm.”
Unexpectedly, the princess simply continued to look around the office without bothering them.
He looked like a curious child exploring this and that place.
Thanks to this, those who are afraid of being caught at first walk stiffly, but at some point, most people are used to cute princesses walking around the office.
All except Marco.
'But why — why do you feel like you're watching me ?!'
The first time he found the princess hiding behind a wall and peeking with her head out, Marco smiled inwardly and tried to hide it.
If she was caught, they would say she was disrespectful, but she also thought about her youngest sister at home.
"I think I'm gonna spend a little time in that corner of the park."
But strangely, she felt the princess' gaze seemed to be on her.
He was innocent, but any interest from the imperial family was burdensome.
He could feel cold sweat pouring out, but Marco tried to naturally, casually, run to a corner of the park.
“Fiuh..”.
But when he tried to catch his breath, he,
"Hi!"
“Hiiiek!”
The princess emerged from the bushes and greeted him.
Marco was just trying to avoid it, but now he is panicking without showing any self-respect.
“I greet Your Majesty, Imperial Princess. I'm Marco William, junior administrative officer at the Minister of Finance.”
“……”
But she managed to calm herself down and politely greeted him according to proper etiquette.
Even so, the nimble little princess looked at him with the unique blue eyes of the imperial family.
“A-Is there a problem, Princess?”
No matter how much he hit his head, he could not think of any mistakes he made.
While he was working in the Ministry of Finance, he was working while thinking about the God of Mana! Nothing embarrassed him!
"You know."
“... Yes, Princess.”
Siervian, who had just been observing him until now, finally started the conversation.
He was also a little surprised when he suddenly ran away from her.
“Sebiii, you know, Sebi wants to learn something.”
"From me, Your Majesty?"
"Yes!"
Hearing those sudden words, Marco was completely perplexed.
In an imperial palace filled with famous scholars, why would he choose it?
“With all due respect, Your Majesty. My view is limited as I am only a junior administrative officer. It is very concerning that I might just obstruct the Princess.”
“Hnnn..”.
Marco began to explain to Siervian very gracefully and politely, nor did he forget to explain slowly how incompetent he was in considering it, which was still a child.
However, Siervian clearly knew that he had a higher level than other junior officials.
And, his inner thoughts.
[Marco William]
Mind: No, no. That won't be profitable. I will be cursed if I am a good teacher, and I will be cursed if I am bad. More than anything, money! That's not gonna work! I can be cursed a little, but no, no. I can't do this.
Surprised by how honestly he thought about his priorities, Siervian immediately shouted.
"Sheby will give you money!"
No matter how much he thought about it, he would not be able to find anyone else who was more serious about money matters than him.
