Chapter 26

3 . The world is mine!

It’s already been two months since Caitel’s birthday party .

Well, if one would ask me if there had been a big change in the last two months, all I could do was crawl on my knees instead of crawling on a boat, and the fact that I could stand there holding something . It was a very small change, but because of it, the servants of the Solay Palace had to make every corner of the object that matched my vision blunt .

I thought I was a genius, that’s why I crawled faster than the other kids, but I heard Serira said I was growing up at a normal speed .

Tsk, yeah . I was not a genius .

Winter was coming already . I felt pressured every day because my dad won’t let me go to his side .

Dad was so annoying . I’d like to tell him to let go of me, but I just stayed in his arms because my life was precious .

Oh, I was getting sleepy .

“So, Your Majesty, first of all, I think it’s the first priority to solve the problem with the south Praezia rather than the Langre . ”

I didn’t know why winter was coming or Caitel’s birthday party was over, but one small change had been made in this compact office, so it was Ferdel’s frequent visits .

“Why?”

My time living in the palace was almost 10 months now . However, I feel like it was my first time to see his face, and it was strange .

Yeah, it’s weird .

His name was familiar, but his face was unfamiliar .

He was blue too . I didn’t have a chance to see him up close, so I knew he had blue hair, but I didn’t know he had blue eyes .

By the way, the blue color of Ferdel was more like a pale sky blue than just blue . Overall, his impression was that he smiled beautifully rather than just a handsome man . However, still, he was very charming .

I thought he was some kind of a nerd, but actually, look a little bit sharp . The most important thing was he never looked like he was going to play with Caitel .

Why did he play with Caitel, why?

“I’m concerned about the quietness of the emperor of Praezia, most of all, we’re investigating the recent discovery of a large number of weapons in the neighboring country of Praezia . It’s not a good time, at least look at what’s left of it and make a decision . ”

Stuck in the arms of Caitel, I was holding a cup without a handle in my hands and drinking . It wasn’t water, it was fruit juice, but it was a drink I often drank because it was delicious .

It’s good, nom nom .

I’m peeking at Ferdel and smacking my lips, and for a moment, Ferdel gave me a look .

Huh?

“Praezia is annoying, too . ”

Was it just my misunderstanding?

Caitel cleared the cup I had had . I had already finished it, so I had handed it over to Papa without regret .

Oh, it was delicious .

“Is there any particular movement of Emperor Pellephon?”

“Unfortunately, not yet . ”

Clearing my cup, Caitel turned to the cradle .

Did he want to put me down?

When I looked at him, our eyes met in the middle . If it was before, he would just look down without any facial expression, but he had become a human being now . These days, Caitel smiled when I looked at him .

Even if it’s a dry, pale smile .

I wanted to go to study my steps with Serira . I could walk a little withholding the handrail, but the best thing was to do it with Serira’s hands . Most of all, it’s so comforting to have someone close enough to hold me when I fall . Walking with Serira rather than holding something by myself, I could stretch my feet at ease .

My dad must have been jealous of us, watching me play well with Serira . My dad’s trying to get me to practice my steps, but… This novice father thought I could walk so fast he took his course first .

I was the one who suffered after all .

No! I didn’t want to do this anymore! Because of me, who took a few steps and sits right down, Caitel had to give up his grand ambition to get me to practice .

Yeah, dad’s too early to be a master of parenting yet, so I wouldn’t walk with this bastard!

“Where is Assisi?”

“Oh, he is on his way back to the palace after finishing processing the remnants of the party . Well, he’ll be back in two months . ”

I felt sorry for the man named Assisi .

They’re fighting hard at the command of his master, and their commanders were sitting in the palace, warm and full .

I heard there’s nothing to believe in the world, so it’s just like that way .

However, why does Ferdel kept looking at me?

Because Caitel put me down in the cradle, I stood up holding the handrail . Then Ferdel’s face was really weird .

What was it? Were you in love with me? My age was 10 months now . Don’t look over me, you thief!

“So it’s the first time I’ve ever seen the princess so close . ”

“Don’t come near her . ”

My father must have felt his irreverent gaze . He wrapped around me as Ferdel stepped closer . Ferdel was being treated as a bad party for no reason .

“…”

All three of us were silent .

As Ferdel took a step closer and took his foot off, Caitel took his hand to his sword . In a blistering spirit formed in a flash, I quietly held on to the railing and held out my mouth .

What was he doing?

The two of them looked like best friends, and it was all a scam . I looked over two people, rolling my eyes .

At that moment, Ferdel opened his mouth with a dazed face .

“Well, Your Majesty?”

“No . ”

Caitel turned his back on Ferdel . No, it wasn’t that he turned his back, it was that he covered me by turning his back .

‘Uh? What’s going on here? Come on, Papa!’

I wasn’t the only one who was embarrassed; the voice of Ferdel over Caitel was equally disconcerting .

“Hey, Caitel!”

“You can’t . ”

He held me again and turn slightly . Caitel then warned him once again . Ferdel, who extended his head to see me, was opening his mouth with an absurd face .

“Am I the bud of future crime? Wow, who doesn’t have a daughter? What a shame!”

“You don’t . ”

Caitel grew serious . The words made Ferdel’s face crumpled . He shouted with all his heart .

“I know, and I’ll have one soon! I’ll be having one in about a year!”

“It’s not here now anyway . ”

“I’ll have them when I get married! I’ll have more than you!”

“Then tell me when you’ll have a baby . ”

How could he lose the entirety of the argument? It was sad to watch .

Without celebrating my father’s perfect victory, I covered my mouth with my small hand .

That poor fellow .

I felt sorry for all the guys who hung out with my dad . Was that a trend, too?

“… Wow, that bastard . ”

His voice of injustice made me nod .

Yeah, he’s a bad guy . My dad was bad .

Oh, I shouldn’t be proud of this, but why did I feel this way when I thought nobody couldn’t beat him when it comes to evilness? What an absurd reality, a dirty world .

“You said you’d show me your daughter on your birthday!”

They must have had a contract I didn’t know .

Caitel also frowned for a moment when he remembered making such a promise . His serious look told me he really didn’t want to show him to me .

However, a promise is a promise . Caitel turned around, and he showed Ferdel what he was holding in his arms .

“Yes, look . ”

“Hmm?”

“Look . ”

Ferdel’s face glowed instantly . I was a bit scared when I saw his face, smiling like a fool .

What’s wrong with him?

As soon as Ferdel tried to reach out to me, Caitel slapped his hand and warned him with a snap .

“Just look . ”

Ferdel’s face was crumpled, not knowing what his intentions were . I wondered too .

Huh? Dad, what are you doing?

Caitel, with the eyes sharper than a sword, looked at Ferdel with no expression . Ferdel’s eyes crumpled at the sight of Caitel coming to him . What my dad said afterward was great .

“I said I’d show her you, but I didn’t say I’d let you touch her . ”

… Are you a five-year-old boy?

My impressions were not a problem . Ferdel cried out in front of me . Ferdel even pointed his finger to Caitel .

He was really mad at him, wasn’t he?

Ferdel shouted before my sympathy reached him .

“This is a fraud!”
