When I barely raised my head, a handsome man with a cold face appeared in front of me.
The only person who can save me!
ââŚâŚBut, is he really a human?â
Is he the god of war*?
*TL/N: Iâve seen this phrase a few times, but I think they assumed the god of war is really handsome.
The man who appeared was so handsome that my head went blank as soon as I saw him.
After a while, I looked at the man carefully.
He had dark wine-colored hair and a sharp nose.
A sharp, deep eyes and a mole under the eyes.
He was tall and had a body that seemed to be filled with muscles.
âSexy.â
I think I can look at him for a long time.
âYo- Your Highness⌠⌠!â
My nannyâs expression, who had been holding me down until now, changed in an instant.
However, he did not pay any attention to the nanny at all.
His gaze on Alexandra after one glance at me was terribly dark and heavy.
âWho dared to do this in the Imperial Palace?â
Alexandra started to tremble.
She opened her mouth after a while.
âIâm sorry⌠⌠.â
âYou fool. Do not threaten the Imperial Family under the age of ten with the Dragon Heart. Didnât you learn it?â
His Highness the Prince* was truly merciless.
*TL/N: Iâm quite confused whether he is the crown prince or a king or something else since it doesnât use the usual word. Itâs written as ěšě, if anyone knows please comment, and if itâll be further explained later so Iâll correct it if itâs wrong.
He doesnât even give Alexandra a chance to apologize.
His eyes, cold enough to bring out goosebumps, scanned Alexandra and the nanny.
âThe aura that Alexandra gave earlier, itâs really joke.â
Compared to this vicious power I can feel on my skin right now.
âMy legs are shaking.â
So I canât get up.
In the end, the nanny passed out.
âBut⌠⌠.â
Although the atmosphere is frightening, Iâm strangely not trembling as much compared to before.
Maybe because I unconsciously knew he was my savior.
So, as I swallowed my saliva and made eye contact, the character information came to mind.
[Character Information]
Name: Baikal Wynn Castalia
Status: Prince
Family:
(1) The biological father of twin princes Idris and Gergis.
(2) âKyena Wynn Karanâ, mother of âCherise Wynn Castaliaâ (Uncle)
Special note: Cat maniac
Baikal.
Along with his looks, his name was also unique.
When my eyes are focused on the special noteâŚ
âArenât you afraid of me?â
Huh, did I have to be afraid?
At the sudden question, I covered my eyes with both hands and bowed my head.
âAiya, Iâm afwaid.â
â⌠⌠You didnât look scared at all.â
Well, thatâs actually it.
I looked at the status window with the gap on my hand.
There was one sentence that bothered me a lot.
It was a sentence that was temporarily hidden by the splendid handsomeness of His Highness the PrinceâŚâŚ.
[Current status: Gastralgia (100%)]
GasâŚtralgiaâŚ
Itâs really crazy.
It was so absurd that it made my eyes twitch rather than frightened.
Itâs a custom quest, so youâre telling me something like that?
[âĄSurprising quest occurrenceâĄ]
Oh my, the Prince Baikal had gastralgia!
Please help him. There is a risk attached to this quest.
(Limited time: 48 hours)
âĄReward: 1,000 gems
But when I saw the quest that suddenly appeared afterward, my eyes widened.
1,000 Gems!
âAre you really giving me that much?â
Itâs great!
I calmly wiped the saliva that ran down my lips first.
I was blinded by the gem, so I couldnât even see the word risk.
âIs it possible that the more I solve the problem of a character with high status, the more gems will come out?â
Or depending on how strong they are?
Whatever, it was good.
Iâm going to help him somehow!
My eyes twinkled and I hugged His Highnessâ legs.
Then, not only him, but all the people standing around flinched together.
Seriously, Iâd be surprised too if the kid who was stupid and couldnât speak until yesterday is acting so boldly today.
âWhere are you injured? Why are your hands like this?â
His Highness the Prince grabbed me and looked around.
Then he saw my hand and frowned.
I hid my hands behind my back and shook my head.
No adult likes a troublemaker.
What if he doesnât take me because he thinks Iâm a troublemaker?
What happened before should be kept a secret.
Instead, I called out to him, as small and lovingly like a cat with hidden claws.
âFwate⌠⌠.â
Of course, I know very well that I donât have a father.
Because Cherise was originally set to be an orphan princess.
I wanted to pretend he was my father.
Can you spit on my smiling face?
âFwate? My name is Baikal.â
However, it was not easy to say it.
I tried it with all my might but itâs not what I expected.
When I was about to be disappointedâŚ.
A brown-haired man standing behind His Highness took a step forward and gave an explanation.
âYour Highness, Princess Cherise seems to want to call you dad right now.â
âDad?â
âYes. Maybe she thought youâre her father.â
The smiling man looked like a perfect aide.
He had long brown hair in a ponytail and was wearing thin-rimmed glasses.
But unlike his mouth, his eyes are not smiling at all.
Itâs enough to be creepy.
âLike a hungry jackal.â
Then I stared at His Highness.
âWhen he looked at me, his eyes are a little⌠⌠It seems to be getting softer.â
The eyes that are thrown at Alexandra are enough to give me goosebumps.
âOkay, anyway, Iâve figured out the situation, right?â
Itâs time to pull the fishing wheel.
If I donât catch this guy here, itâs game over.
I donât want to do the same thing over and over again!
âLetâs pretend to be cute. Concentrate and finish in just one shot.â
Taking a deep breath, I wrapped a short arm around His Highnessâ neck.
After a while, I looked at him and exclaimed in a loud voice.
âCherry, gwoing to be dadâs dwaughter!â (Cherry is going to be dadâs daughter!)
Ugh, Iâm so nervous!
My desperate cry rang like an echo through the quiet room.
âYour Highness, you seem a little surprised.â
What will be the reaction?
Thump.
My heart is beating fast
I hesitated for a moment at the glance that was looking at me, but I decided not to give up.
âI feel like Iâve already lost my identity as a prideful adult.â
So letâs just be shy and cute until the end.
Like the main character in romance fantasy stories.
If I acted cutely I might survive.
â⌠⌠Oh⌠⌠huh?â
âHmm.â
Is it too much?
I decided to emphasize it a little more.
âCherry, nwice. Iâll lwisten to you well⌠⌠.Iâm gwoing to wait uwntil you come back. Even though it huwts! Twake my hand.â
The status window informed me that Iâm his sisterâs daughter!
Then we are close relatives!
If I had someone to lean on, Alexandra wouldnât do anything to me, which means, I had to make him on my side.
I will forgive you for neglecting me for 4 years, so please just adopt me.
âTake your hand? Then can I cut it?â
At that moment, he tilted his head slightly and looked down at me.
It was a deep, incomprehensible gaze.
â⌠⌠.â
I looked at his face blankly then realized he had misunderstood and jumped.
âNwo!â
Donât say such a thing with a casual expression!
âIt was a joke.â
As I shook my head, he smiled and patted my back with a large hand.
Then I naturally put my soft cheeks against his hard chest.
âHuh?!â
âSince you say that without any fear, Iâm going to take you first and see if you can become my daughter.â
⌠⌠Is it a success?
A strong ally is needed to protect this weakest body the system has given me.
Is he really on my side?
It was then.
[âĄThis is a message from the administratorâĄ]
Tutorial completed.
The body is temporarily switched to OFF mode for the stability of integration between âCherise Wynn Castaliaâ and âChae-Ri Yoonâ.
âOh, no. I guess now⌠⌠.â
As soon as the notification popped up, my eyelids became insanely heavy.
I really needed sleep.
âAlexandra Jane Castalia.â
âYes⌠⌠!â
âThis is a warning. Once again, if you bully this child who inherited Wynnâs name⌠⌠.â
Alexandra trembled at the ominous tone.
âI think you know what would happen. You are prohibited from going out in your palace for a month from today.â
After making that declaration, His Highness moved, and a large number of people who were waiting followed him.
Forcing my sleepy eyes open, I was startled to see the multitude of people filling the hallway.
Why are there so many people here?
âYour Highness, the princess⌠⌠.â
âSheâs my daughter now.â
âPardon?â
âBe quiet. It looks like sheâs going to sleep. And torture that nanny to find out what happened here. After that, you can deal with it according to the law.â
âAll right.â
The hand that patted my back eventually made me sleepier.
Still, I didnât forget to stick my tongue out to Alexandra, who was staring at me with an angry face.
âBoo!â
Anyway, what will my life be like in the future?
Since Iâm a princess, I donât have to worry about making a living, but I need to pay back 10 billion gems and log outâŚâŚ.
I was a little worried about it and fell asleep.
The last thing I saw was my crying nanny being dragged along by the knights.
After that, Cherise fell asleep in the princeâs arms.
As if waiting, another notification window popped up with a sound.
[âĄThis is a message from the administratorâĄ]
No spare body.
Players, please take good care of your body.
Remember it!
The notification window crackled and then slowly disappeared.
Then, a memory come to her mind, but she was too sleepy.
