Baby Princess Through Status Window
Chapter 5's
Siervian knew something was wrong when he opened his eyes. That's because no one woke him up.
Sarah always wakes him up at dawn, saying that she needs to learn the Empire's etiquette.
"Where is everyone?"
His body feels so heavy. It seems like the reason for the pain is becoming reality.
Still, Siervian got up from his bed, quelling the urge to go back to sleep. He was nervous because it was too quiet outside.
'uh? My clothes?'
Her nightgown had been changed as she slept into a thinner, more comfortable nightgown.
She couldn't believe that she was sleeping through all that, even with someone changing her clothes. As soon as he realized this, Siervian's face turned pale.
"It's not good if I keep getting sick."
Siervian struggled to stand up, groaning as she reached out to pull the rope beside the bed. The five-year-old Siervian doesn't yet have an official schedule, but he shouldn't be too loose. She did not want to be called a lazy and incompetent princess.
After a while, Ellie carefully opened the door.
"You're awake now, Princess."
“I'm fine. Where is Sarah?"
“. . . Your Majesty will be coming soon to say something.”
When he mentioned his father coming here again, Siervian felt his heart thump. Shouldn't he have pretended to be asleep last night?
But something strange happened again. A few servants in the same uniform as Ellie came one after another to her room, and some of their faces were familiar. They were the palace women in the Princess Palace.
"Daughter, I have committed a terrible sin!"
"Please forgive us, Your Majesty!"
All the servants around Siervian shouted and lowered their heads together. Everyone had expressions of regret.
Faced with an unprecedented situation, Siervian somehow felt ashamed. He held her blanket tightly.
What the hell is going on here?
"Please speak carefully about us to His Majesty."
“We didn't do it on purpose. It was all because of Sarah. .”
This was the first time in his life the servants had spoken to Siervian in such a gentle tone. This was also the first time he had learned that there were many servants in the palace.
Siervian remained silent until now because he did not know what to say to them.
Not long after that his body started to tremble, probably due to the dissonance between his body and soul. Many adults towering over him were too arrogant for a five-year-old.
"I can't breathe."
What was even more frightening was their innermost thoughts.
[ Adele ]
Kindness: -100
Mind: This is so annoying. Is it my fault he's sick?
[Jessi ]
Kindness: -100
Mind: Why don't I get involved in this.
Siervian was afraid of these people, who had never smiled at him, suddenly acting as if they cared for him. But what's worse is their inconsistent hearts.
Floating windows surround Siervian. These words pierced him in exactly the same way as the words that cursed him in his previous life.
It was like an inevitable fate.
'I try not to be hated, but why suddenly. . . !’
He wanted to hide under his blanket, but he resisted the urge to do so. He realized that such behavior would only give them more opportunities to attack him.
That was what he thought, but his body would not listen. His young body was completely frightened. She did not want to look weak, but she continued to cry.
Then, Ellie approached her bed and broke the servant formation.
“Princess needs to take her medicine now. Please move aside.”
[ Elli ]
Atmosphere: Sad
Thought: The fever should go down quickly. What you all did to the sick Princess, really!
Ellie was the only one who brought medicine to relieve Siervian fever. And only he really cares about her.
“. . . Ah."
Only then did the servants pay attention. It was as if they had just remembered that the princess was sick.
Siervian should have felt more comfortable now that they had finally retreated, but somehow, she wanted to cry even more. She bit her lips tightly. He tried to control himself, but it really wasn't easy. The synchronicity is still not good.
By the time his tears fell, several heavy footsteps could be heard from outside the door.
"His Majesty the Emperor is entering."
The bewildered servants retreated to the wall and lowered their heads.
Ellie, who was feeding the strawberry-flavored medicine to Siervian, also moved away, her lips forming a tight line as if she was expecting something worse. He did not forget to give the rest of the medicine to Siervian.
"What the hell is going on?"
At that moment, the door opened.
Siervian's father walked into the room and headed for the bed without hesitation in his gait, then stared directly at him.
From then on, silent steps continued to flow after the door opened violently. The guards following his father calmed their steps awkwardly and entered slowly.
"I'm putting you under probation, but what exactly are you doing?"
When mentioning the 'trial period', Siervian's eyes were teary. Something must have happened while he was sleeping. He really did something wrong, then.
"How dare you make a fuss when my daughter is sick?"
Huh huh?
Siervian, who grasped his blanket with his little fist, barely raised his head.
His father's status window immediately entered his vision.
[ Alderuan Erveldotte ]
Mood: Angry
Thought: The child was in so much pain that he started crying. The snowy cheeks were filled with tears. How sad he was to suffer alone. I was so angry that everything was stained red.
"Catch it all now!"
"Yes, Your Majesty."
His cold voice brought more tears to his eyes. He flinched reflexively, on the verge of hiding under his blanket.
Then, his father's thoughts suddenly appeared.
[Alderuan Erveldotte]
Mind: You all did not even think of relieving this child of pain, and now you surround him like a vulture just to avoid punishment. The embarrassing things. I will make everyone here pay for their crimes.
By the way, pale Siervian doesn't look good. Should I change the Imperial physician? Should I scour the entire Empire to bring each medicinal herb so that his suffering will end? There should also be thorough research on the disease so that future generations can learn about it.
The status window that expressed his concerns was too long to read.
"Please let us go, Your Majesty!"
Confused, Siervian blinked, and the tears that were in the corner of his eyes fell. With this child's body, it was difficult for him to control it even if he did his best.
Siervian quickly wiped away his tears, but the Emperor's expression increasingly changed. And once again, a status window appeared, telling him how angry he was.
"Hiccups!"
Even when he learned that his father's anger was not directed at him, his young body still felt fear.
The emperor, realizing that he was shocking his daughter, hurriedly added.
"I'll replace all your servants."
Just then, his eyes were fixed on Ellie, who was also taken away by a knight.
He quickly jumped up and rolled over his bed. She doesn't care to change all the waiters, but Ellie can't leave.
Today, when everyone comes here to beg for their own lives, Ellie is the only good person who brought her medicine.
"Siervia?"
“T-no, you cannot. .”
Ellie shouldn't be treated the same way as the others.
Siervian rushed to Ellie, grabbed the edge of her skirt, and held on as if her life depended on it. The knight who dragged the servant away was startled and finally let go of his grip.
"Daughter!"
"You can't get Eri!"
He quickly hit his head.
Sierra doesn't know why this is happening. His father had never replaced all of his servants in his previous life.
And of course, he never intended to visit last night.
"I need to organize my thoughts."
Everything happened so quickly that he desperately extorted anything to defend Ellie.
That's definitely what he should do.
“Siervia.”
“But I don't want Eri to go. .”
"All the servants need to undergo investigation."
His father's tone was firm, as if he would not heed his request. He could feel the fear that was engulfing him.
It seemed like he was returning to that cold prison cell. No one listened no matter how many times he told them he had never done anything like black magic.
No one believes him.
“You don't want to, huu. . uwaaaa—”
Clearly, he had formed a proper sentence in his head to defend Ellie.
"Ellie's always been nice to me."
"Unlike the other waitresses, Ellie brought me medicine because I was sick."
However, he could not use these words properly as his body was still not in sync with his mind. Even if he managed to muster up the courage to speak, nothing was ever properly revealed to his father. Everything was washed away by her tears.
'I too will be hated for this. No adult likes the cry of children.’
Did he ruin everything again? He could not believe he had just spoken out against his father's orders.
“Siervia.”
The Emperor felt his mouth dry when Siervian suddenly started wailing. If his tears continued to flow, then he would definitely want to destroy this entire palace.
When Siervian heard his name called, he raised his head.
"Is that Ellie?"
"Hiccups!"
[ Alderuan Erveldotte ]
Mind: Even her crying face is beautiful. I will have to find out later on if maybe a Mana Spirit can be born as a human.
After all, there must be a reason why Siervian was holding on to a waitress named Ellie.
Siervian nervously looked at Ellie's name in the Emperor's mind. His eyes were full of tears, so he could not read the status window properly.
The Emperor spoke briefly to Ellie who was trembling and pointed at one finger.
"You. You are the new butler. ”
“A-what? But, Your Honor, I barely qualify. .”
"Hiccups!"
He could feel Ellie's shock. Sierra didn't expect this either.
"Do it."
“. . . Yes, Your Majesty."
The Emperor had no intention of abrogating his orders. It was because Siervian kept crying while siding with the servant.
In the end, Ellie had no choice but to hug and pat the little princess still attached to her.
[ Elli ]
Occupation: Butler (new!)
Mind: I have to take good care of the Princess!
And just like that, Ellie became the butler of the Imperial Princess Palace.
* * *
A few days later, Siervian was sitting at a table in the middle of a lush green expanse. He was in the Emperor's private garden, which was fully managed by magic.
“. . .”
“. . .”
On the other side of the table was the owner of the garden, whose gaze was fixed on him.
The Erveldotte Empire was located in the northernmost part of the continent. During the First Continental War, First Emperor Erveldotte, who had tremendous control over magic, managed to break through the defenses of other countries.
Originally, the northernmost part of the continent was barren and cold, but this changed when the First Emperor had cast a powerful spell to control the climate.
'The First Emperor was a great magician.'
In his previous life, Siervian studied history in earnest.
The achievements of the First Emperor were countless, but his best achievement was the climate control barrier that covered the entire Empire.
If he looked far away, the snow-covered mountains could still be seen. However, flowers bloomed and butterflies fluttered around him in this garden, even though the mountain was not far from the Imperial Palace.
It is amazing how the temperature is controlled in such a large area.
“Do you feel better now?”
His father, who had been silent all this time, finally spoke up.
His eyes were like two lakes on the highest mountain in the cold north.
[ Alderuan Erveldotte ]
Mind: You look so beautiful today. The park means in comparison. The gardener should be ashamed.
As usual, his mind was the opposite of his cold exterior.
Today, Siervian is wearing a lacy pastel pink dress. It was nice and light, and it matched her dark-colored hair.
The first thing Ellie did as the new butler was to replace all the contents of the palace's dreary wardrobe.
"But why did you suddenly call me?"
Sierra was still feeling very nervous in front of his father.
Even so, he was in a good mood today. It had been a long time since he had put on such pretty clothes, and he finally got the chance to see the Emperor's beautiful private garden.
He didn't know when else he could come here.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
So, with a relaxed mind, he replied politely.
[ Alderuan Erveldotte ]
Kindness: +100
Mood: My daughter I – very – disappointed
But then he suddenly said that he was upset.
The peaceful tea drinking time has been going well until now, but the tension has once again been renewed.
