Baby Princess Through Status Window
Chapter 8's

“E, Eri..”

"A-What's up, Princess?"

[ Elli ]

Mind: I know that. Is the cake too ugly?!

In the status window that appeared, Siervian saw the cake that Ellie had brought for him all of a sudden. It was smaller and had simpler decorations than the cake he had eaten yesterday. But still, the thick chocolate cream on it looked delicious.

"All the food Ellie brought me today was delicious."

Siervian could feel Ellie's sincerity every time she bit. The food is now nutritious enough to help his young body grow properly.

Thanks to that, she could not eat much because she was worried about her weight. He felt sorry for not being able to eat much.

But he couldn't believe it was happening again.

"I-i'm soowwy!"

“Please don't cry. What's up, Princess?”

Tears welled up in Siervian's eyes. She could not see Ellie's pretty face through her tears, and her shoulders continued to tremble due to her sobs.

Seeing this scene, Ellie quickly ran to the side of the princess and hugged her. It was a pity that he was too small to fill the servant's arm.

'It's awkward ...'

In Ellie's warm embrace, Siervian was perplexed. Because every time he cried, everyone would only look at him with cold eyes.

'What should I do?'

Shocked at himself as he started crying, Siervian confessed about what had happened the day before.

"I ate too many snacks yesterday."

"Yesterday? Oh, did you eat a lot while with His Majesty?”

"Yes…"

As he hiccupped, Siervian nodded. She didn't need to speak formally*because she was a princess, but it kept coming out.

He was afraid of losing this warmth forever.

“I make mwistake..”

[ Elli ]

Kindness: +30

Her tears were still rushing, but she could see a bright status window.

The likes just go up. Siervian looked at Ellie with wonder in her eyes. Even with a slight movement of his gaze, his eyes felt heavy from tears.

But Ellie kept smiling even though Siervian confessed.

"Princess. You are not wrong.”

[ Elli ]

Thoughts: My poor daughter…

Because of those words, Siervian was filled with a hint of courage. He lifted his face and asked.

"But, I-you said it was special ..."

Ellie's warm hands touched Siervian's cheeks, and her sadness melted away little by little.

“Because it's snacks. Our daughter didn't eat much today, so I'm worried.”

"Because I don't eat well?"

Ellie told him to eat more.

He said it every meal time, but Siervian could not understand. Until recently, she was told that the princesses should eat less and always keep their weight off.

However, after looking at the Empress's status window, the seeds of doubt had been sown. Sarah and the Empress told Siervian to eat less. Why would they do that?

“Yes, Your Grace. Sorry the food is bad... If it's good, you'll eat more..”

[ Elli ]

Mind: The Princess Palace's finances are still…

"No! It's yummy!”

Even when she wondered if Ellie would realize that she could read her mind, Siervian quickly settled the misunderstanding. Sarah's pepper soup couldn't even compare to the food Ellie gave her.

"And so different."

The food was always warm, even though he could not eat much. And most importantly, Ellie had filled her taste.

He was always very careful to note Siervian's likes and dislikes.

"That's why you can also eat a lot of what His Majesty has given you."

[ Elli ]

Mind: You should eat better.

"Thank you…?"

“Of course, Princess.”

Ellie's strong support left Siervian deep in thought.

He thought about the Empress' negative favorite points and Ellie's increased points, showing who really cared about Siervian.

"OK…"

"Thul? Geez, that's very nice, our dear Princess.!”.

Those words came out of Ellie's lips.

These words denied all the habits Siervian had in his previous life, but strangely, he answered easily.

“From now on, I will eat breakfast and lunch well.”

Ellie smiled broadly as she looked at the princess, nodding enthusiastically. She hugged Siervian even tighter because she was so beautiful, then patted the boy's black hair.

'I can't breathe ...'

In the Princess Palace, it was often suffocated even if she did nothing. But now, she could not breathe as Ellie hugged him tightly. He wanted to break away, but he held it back.

Being in someone's arms feels better than he thinks.

"Now, shall we eat the cake?"

"okay."

Ellie quickly brought the tray to the Sierra. The delicious chocolate aroma that had passed through the tip of Siervian's nose since before finally approached him.

It really looks delicious.

It was brought here at the right time as well because he was getting hungry. She could not eat anything while she was in the Empress Palace.

“It won't be as good as the snack you ate yesterday. I'm sorry."

"No way."

As Ellie said, there are no magic forks or snowy cakes here.

But the chocolate cake is delicious.

[ Elli ]

Mind: How beautiful you are to be seen when you eat well.

Nyams.

Nyam, nyam.

The little cake was gone in an instant.

Still, Siervian pretended not to be disappointed when he finished eating and put down his fork. He decided to eat well from now on, so maybe he could eat some more cookies.

[ Elli ]

Mind: I guess you want to eat more.

How does he know? Didn't he hide it?

* * *

In the next few days, Siervian ate and slept soundly in the Princess Palace.

She still hesitates to the point of being full, but the doubt disappears when Ellie smiles at her and tells her how beautiful she eats.

'That's weird.'

One thing kept bothering him as he spent his days like this.

“Eri, Eri!”

"Yes, Princess, do you want another snack?"

"No!"

And in the past few days, Ellie has been trying to feed Siervian something every time they make eye contact. It became too much, so Siervian thought he should avoid Ellie's gaze a little.

No matter how important it is to eat well, the dignity of a Princess is …

"Your Majesty really doesn't want to eat?"

[ Elli ]

Mind: Today, I brought along a macaron that was just as cute as our Princess. Should I give it to you later?

"Okay, I want to eat."

What if it was macarons. Since that was the case, he quickly changed his mind.

“This... I got this from a friend who works in the Emperor's Palace. Sorry I can only give Your Majesty a little.”.

[ Elli ]

Mind: You like it a lot, but sorry I can't give you much. I'd like to give you a stack tray someday.

"Don't kid!"

Ellie timidly gave Siervian two more macarons, and Siervian carefully took both of them and enjoyed one.

After thinking for a while, Siervian gave the remaining macaron to Ellie.

"Eri, eat!"

“Yes, Princess. I'm fine.”

"No, let's eat!"

Siervian grabbed Ellie's hand and placed the macaron in her palm. Ellie hesitated, but finally accepted it when she saw the small hands holding her hands.

"Why is our daughter so kindhearted ..."

[ Elli ]

Kindness: +30

Seeing Ellie's happy face made Siervian's heart slightly pierced. In fact, today's goal is to increase Ellie's liking even if just a little.

“Oh, it's very sweet.”

“Enak, right?”

"Yes very much. Thank you, Your Majesty.”

Seeing Ellie happy made Siervian think that she should give her more next time. Although he received macarons from Ellie... Still is.

"I'm fine."

"That's great, Princess."

"Can I go out today?"

"Outside?"

Ellie did not expect, so her eyes widened. Siervian was afraid he would say no, so he hurriedly spoke again. He has to go out today.

“I'll be fine.. But if Eri is too busy... maybe next time...”.

As Siervian finished speaking with a frown, Ellie's expression darkened.

"Daughter…"

"Yes?"

Ellie had a stiff expression as she called out to Siervian, who knew that it was easy to be hated no matter what she did, so she had to be more careful.

"Of course Your Majesty can come out."

"Huh?"

But then Ellie said something unexpected.

Ellie knelt in front of Siervian and made eye contact with Siervian, whose head was bowed.

“Princess, this is your palace. Your Majesty can do whatever you want. ”

"Even go outside?"

"Of course."

Siervian looked Ellie in the eye to see if she was telling the truth.

"Benefits…"

[ Elli ]

Thought: I should have told you earlier.

Ellie looked like she was almost crying.

Despite his frustration to stay inside the palace, Siervian was delighted whenever he was with Ellie, whom he saw in wonder.

“Yeah. I'm sorry."

“No, Eri is beside me so I'm happy.”

“…”

[ Elli ]

Mind: I am so happy to hear it…

Ellie hugged Sierra with tears in her eyes.

Siervian meant what he said. These days, Siervian is neither hungry nor afraid of the voice of Sarah's cry.

Before, it was Sarah who decided whether she could go out or not, so it was never easy to ask for permission.

"And that's only if someone calls me."

Unfortunately, Sarah never let Siervian out of her own room. That's why she thought she needed to ask permission from Ellie first, but now she realized that she didn't have to do that.

"Then, are we gonna get ready to go out?"

"Yes!"

[ Elli ]

Kindness: +20

Hearing Siervian's excited reply, Ellie moved quickly.

“Hmm... His Majesty has rarely come out lately, but why don't you have a lot of clothes..”.

[ Elli ]

Mind: When does the budget for the Princess Palace come in? There's still a lot I have to change…

Ellie was troubled when she looked into the closet.

One side was full of gloomy clothes. Ellie wanted to throw it away immediately, but she kept it there just in case.

And the other party had bright clothes that Ellie bought as soon as she became the butler.

At first glance, it was clear that there were only a few bright clothes.

'I wonder why there is no budget in the Princess Palace?'

Siervian, who was standing next to Ellie, thought about it while looking into the closet.

Then, she pointed to one dress. It was the pink frill dress she wore when she went to see her father last time.

“Is this okay? His Majesty has been wearing this recently.”

"Yes, that's fine."

It didn't matter if he wore the same outfit twice. Aristocrats do not like to do this, but he does not want to think the same way.

If she changed a lot of clothes, then she would be criticized as a princess who squandered people's money. It would be easier to hear if he was called chatty.

"But that's not the point here."

Instead, the palace's budget problems constantly raise questions. He was even more curious about it when he thought of the 'it' incident over the past few days.

"Where will His Majesty go today?"

“Jwst somewhere.”

The first thing that made everyone in the Imperial Palace think of Siervian with a bad impression was the so-called [Daughter Palace Food Trash] case.
