The servant came from a ruined noble family, and the knight next to him was born from a commoner. The people next to the dreadful Crown Prince, as expected, were trash of poor quality.
Gilbert couldn't believe this lowly servant had reprimanded him!
"How dare you, an ordinary servant, speak before the Crown Princess' father?"
Gilbert attacked Melissa.
He needed to educate not only Ancia but also the arrogant servants and knights around her.
Suddenly, Ancia snapped coldly, "Don't talk carelessly to my people."
"What?!"
"If you're just going to be a bully, then you can go."
“You ******! I'm the one who let you be the Crown Princess!”
Count Bellacian raised his hand high, but Ancia did not even blink.
"Have you heard about Marquis Hamel's incident?"
Gilbert had to stop for a moment.
Ancia did not call him 'father.' He called her as if she were a stranger.
Didn't Marquis Hamel's wrist get cut off and lose his title because he tried to slap Ancia?
He's warning Gilbert right now.
Gilbert's hand slid down. Ancia has changed. He was no longer a moody child thirsting for his affection.
The foolish girl who missed her father's affection had disappeared, and now, she had become the Crown Princess that was before her eyes.
“An-Ancia, I was a little excited and made a mistake. But should you be so cold to your father?”
Gilbert smiled obediently and tried to make things right, but Ancia ruthlessly rejected him.
“Go from here now! Never approach the Crown Prince's Palace again. I will let everything pass today, but I will not forgive you if it happens again!”
“Ancia!”
But he couldn't leave just because Ancia kicked him out. If she were to return now, the chance to make Diana the Empress would be lost.
“Ancia!”
Gilbert tried to fight back, but in the end, Edon dragged him away.
***
I met Count Bellacian. It was the same man I saw in my dreams.
[You have to be useful to the family. If you receive a gift, you should send it to your family. You are so selfish!]
He came to see me directly after sending me such a letter, so I wondered if there was anything important. But that's all bullshit until the end.
The news of the Emperor loving me has been circulating lately, so he was just trying to intimidate me into getting what he wanted.
B*jangan.
Even after being expelled, the Count continued to send letters. None of them were worth reading, so I didn't even open them again.
Besides, I don't have time to worry about Bellacian family matters right now.
I have to participate in the Sealing Festival as the Crown Princess.
I was very busy with learning about dance etiquette and preparing for the party. The biggest problem is dancing.
I've danced once before, when I was in elementary school, but it can't be considered a proper dance.
"Your Majesty, right foot!"
"Aah!"
Right away, my first move was wrong. The smile disappeared from the countess Chardin's face that taught me to dance.
Countess Chardin was known for her gentle character, but right now, she seemed to have reached her limit.
I've been struggling with the intro for ten days now, so it's been impressive that he's survived this far.
"I'm sorry…"
"No, you can do it!"
Countess Chardin took a deep breath and smiled.
"Come on, put your feet together, right foot and left foot."
"Good!you did well. Now, rotate!”
"Aah!"
At that moment, I fell to the floor. My leg got stuck so I lost my balance.
“Ancia!”
"Your Majesty, are you okay?"
"Geez, Your Majesty!"
"Meow!"
Blake, Countess Chardin, Melissa, and the black cat all quickly surrounded me.
I thank them for their attention, but right now, I am so embarrassed ...
"I-I'm fine."
I jumped to my feet, waving my hands.
"Your Majesty, let's stop here for today."
"Yes, I thought it would be good."
Today, the dance practice ended without much result.
***
"Kitty, come here."
I went to the room and called out to the black cat. The black cat came up to me and ran around me.
"Meow."
When I called out to him, the cat crept in and hugged me. I've never seen a cat like this before. She is soft and charming, very beautiful.
I rubbed the cat's hair I didn't give it a name because it seemed to have an owner.
"Did you see me fall today, kitty?"
"Meow."
The cat nodded. No matter how I look at it, this cat is brilliant.
Hans said it looks like the Palace witch has kept this cat. He must be right.
"Meow."
"No?"
"Meow!"
"Can you dance too?"
"Meow!"
The cat nodded excitedly. I don't know if it really understands, or if I'm just interpreting what it says as I like.
“Because kitty supports this Noona, I will give you Sungnyung.”
As Blake said, the cat was indeed male, so I corrected my call from Unnie to Noona.*
* TL Note: Unnie and noona have the same meaning, older sister. But unnie spoke to the 'big sister' of the female speaker. And nuna greeted the 'sister of the women' from the male speaker.
"Meow meow!"
The cat strangely liked Sungnyung.
I don't know why, but when I checked her gender, the cat seemed to be very embarrassed. However, he calmed down when I gave him Sungnyung.
I took the cat outside.
“Melissa, please bring me Sungnyung.”
"I've prepared it before."
Melissa put Sungnyung on the floor. Then, the cat came down from my arms and started eating Sungnyung.
“Eat slowly.”
I smiled when I saw the little cat. Then, Blake went inside.
After Blake declared that he was going to build up his abdominal muscles, he began to learn swordsmanship from Edon.
"Your Majesty, have you learned much?"
"Yes. She hasn't left?”
Blake glared at the cat as soon as he saw it.
“Your Majesty, why did you do this to that cat?I also love animals.
Blake trudged along and looked at the cat.
“I don't like it.”
"Your Majesty, you can't do that."
"But it doesn't look like a real animal."
"Huh?"
What did he mean by 'It doesn't look like a real animal'?I was confused by his words, while the cat that was eating the Sungnyung gasped.
“Somehow, I felt weird when I saw it.”
Blake grabbed the cat. But the cat dodged his hand and disappeared from the window.
"Meow!"
I tried to chase the cat, but Blake grabbed my wrist.
“Do not chase it.”
"Your majesty."
"Why do you keep watching other men?"
Blake's lips pouted and I laughed.
“That's cat.”
“I still don't like it. It's a.”
She's staring. A man? A small question popped up in my head, and Blake put his hand over his head, mimicking the shape of a rabbit's ear.
"You don't like rabbits anymore?"
"No!"
"Do you like cats? Meow?"
“I would have liked it more if it was my husband, not an animal!”
He's already very handsome and cute. How great it would be if he grew up. If the curse was lifted, he would seize the hearts of all the women in the Empire.
"Hehe."
"Your Majesty, can you help me?"
"Yes!"
He nodded at once.
“Why did you answer so easily? What if I ask you for some weird help?”
“I don't care.I can do whatever my wife asks.”
She was only eight years old, but she was still a reliable husband.
"Then help me practice dancing!"
"Dancing?"
“Yes, I don't think I should do it alone.I need a partner!”
“I also don't know much about dancing..”.
"It's okay if you can't dance."
I grabbed her hand and pulled her with me into the hall on the third floor. This is where I usually practice dancing.
“Isn't it better to train with Edon than me? His height is almost the same as His Majesty.”
I should have had my first dance with the Emperor at the dance.
A dance party will be held to commemorate the Emperor sealing the Door of Darkness.
I was supposed to be present with the Emperor in place of the Crown Prince, since Blake is the Heir to the Curse so can't go to the dance.
Blake showed no signs of sadness about it.
I'd feel a little better if she went berserk because she wanted to attend the dance, like a normal eight-year-old.
"I want my first dance with you."
Even though it was just a small hall, not a ballroom, I wanted my first dance with Blake.
“Ancia..”.
