Chapter 7

Daughter of the Emperor Volume 1 Chapter 7

The emperor only daughter vol 1 ch 7

“Ah! No, that is not something to eat, Princess!”

Elaine exclaimed very loudly. I widened my eyes.

‘Ah, that surprised me.

She could just say it normally why is she yelling? I didn’t take it to eat.

I wanted to find out what it was by putting it in my mouth!

You could just say it “durity”. Why do you feel the need to shout?’

As I froze in one place like a chick who had eaten honey. ( ) Cerera’s strict order came from behind.

“Elaine.”

‘Cerera!’

Cerera slowly came over and took the hairpin Elaine had taken away from me and put it back in my hand.

‘Ah? I can play with it?’

Elaine, for a moment, got worked up, but Cerera quietly used her position to silence her.

“How can you yell at the Princess? She was surprised.”

‘It was a hairpin, a hairpin!

What do you call it when you automatically put it in your mouth on your own? A habit?

No, it’s instinct. I already knew it was a hairpin using my eyes. However, my brain knew it but not my body. Should I say it was like my body didn’t know what it was, so it took it on by its own will to examine what it was without my brain’s permission?’

“I’m sorry.”

Elaine got in trouble. She got in more trouble yesterday too. And the day before that too. She got in more and more trouble. Anyways, she lived each day getting in trouble. Last week, she caused that big accident. Yet even if she’s clumsy to the point that I find her quite hateful, but at the same time, I honestly don’t really dislike her and I find this quite odd.

‘Is this what one would call a demonic charm?’

“Always be gentle, no matter how annoyed you are, you have to say it quietly. Did you forget?”

“I’m sorry.”

Elaine lowered her head, dispirited. Well, but even though I know that in ten minutes she will be cheerful again, I felt down seeing her depressed.

‘Is it because I see her face a lot? Seriously…

You can do better next time.’ I wanted to say and raised my hand to pat her on her back.

‘Why am I a baby? Why? Why is it?!’

My hands don’t reach. *sob sob*

“Where is the pacifier?”

Since I was waving my hand around, Nanny turned her head looking for something.

‘Nanny, you aren’t looking for the same pacifier I dropped in the garden before, right?

Even if you disinfect it, I feel kind of grossed out, well, incredibly grossed out actually.

Mrs. Nanny, I am still a baby. Wah, wah~ Please treat me preciously…’

“Here, Princess.”

‘Ah, it’s a new one!’

The pacifier I was sucking on was one I had seen for the first time. It’s cute, like me. I don’t know if it’s because it’s new, but as I suck it I found it quite hard. ‘If I keep sucking, will it turn soft?’

“Princess seems to like it.”

“I think so.”

‘…..You guys were watching me. To peek at someone else is rude, people!

Hoho, but since both of you are so close to me, I will forgive you.’

*suck suck suck*

‘What should I do? I think I fell in love with my sucker.

I have turned into a body that can’t live with a pacifier. Fuck!’

“Heh, heh. Pretty.”

Elaine who was in love with my beauty complimented me on my looks again.

‘How many times a day does she compliment me a day? Tsk, tsk.

Now I’m tired of hearing the word pretty. I’m going to just keep sucking on my pacifier.’

*Suck Suck Suck Suck*

After that incident last week the palace was in an uproar. I was stuck in my room so I don’t know in detail how noisy it got, but as usual, with my nanny’s informative conversations with Elaine, I found out what happened afterward.

“The Princess is so pitiful.”

In one sentence, it’s called being at the wrong place at the wrong time. She got what was coming for her, but she had the worst possible luck because at the worst possible time she met me, and at the worst possible time she met the Emperor who was passing by at the worst time possible. I knew that she was ordered to be executed, but part of me was uncertain it would go through.

‘I guess somewhere within me I couldn’t believe it was possible…

Yesterday when Elaine told me her execution date was set next month I was betrayed by my uncertainty! To think, my own uncertainty had betrayed me!

Ah. Not funny.’

“I heard that they would be checking the entrance from now on.”

“It was an incident that left all the princesses in the royal palace shaking in their shoes.”

Elaine, with a sullen face, played with her hands.

“I feel sorry for her. After all, it not like she had a choice or wanted to come here.”

‘The same goes for me too. Who said I wanted to be born with such a father?!

Grandma Samsin, come out! I think you need to take this back. It doesn’t have to be an empire, just please let me grow up under normal parents! Can’t you do that? I guess you can’t?’

“The Emperor definitely has a hobby of torturing others!”

‘You just figured that out now? My father is a sadist. Can you not proudly announce something I found out last week?’

I wanted to yell back but I could only make baby sounds.

‘When am I going to grow teeth?

When will I be able to talk? Now I know how a mute feels.

I!  Want!  To!  Talk!’

“I am sorry. I said those words carelessly.”

“As long as you know.”

Cerera let it go without saying many words. I guess her mouth hurts from correcting every single thing.

‘Huh? For someone who claims to know she was careless, she kept on going.’

“However, our Princess is so pretty. She doesn’t seem to be like the Emperor’s daughter at all.”

‘Didn’t you say last time that I inherited all of my of my father’s DNA? Are you kidding me?’

I was so tired of it that I just turned my head away. Then, Elaine followed me in the direction I turned my head. ‘I dislike you. I find you annoying.’ I turned my head again.

“When she grows up, she will be a beauty.”

‘Stop saying such hopeful words. I don’t believe in my beauty yet. I haven’t even seen a mirror, so I don’t even know how I look, but to say I will be a beauty. You need to wait until I am at least over sixteen to find out. If it’s not true I will cry.

Wait, do I have to get married at sixteen?

Ah, what if I didn’t inherit the Emperor’s beauty?!’

“She’s only three months old.”

“Ha. The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree, just look at this beauty!”

I’m telling you to wait until I’m at least sixteen!

I don’t want to fight. I don’t want to ruin my beauty with my own hands!

See it like this god, I was born under a crazy Emperor so I want my looks to be at least pretty, okay?!

I’m not asking for power to overturn the world, just make my looks good enough that people can swallow back their rice!

Namu Myōhō Renge Kyō’ ( )

“I want to quickly take her for a walky-walky.”

“Please restrain yourself. She can’t even sit upright.”

Cerera clicked her tongue.

I sucked on my pacifier and have already eaten my meal, so I decided that I needed to exercise as I tried to raise my body up.

‘Ugh! Damn, this is my body but it is fucking heavy! *Sob sob* I can’t even lie on my side when I want to.’ As I heaved, I tried to push midway, but no matter what, my body suddenly pushes back.

*Gasp gasp* ‘It was hard.’

“Oh, oh, my!”

I heard Elaine’s voice but that wasn’t important. What was more important was to flip my body completely over. ‘Why does this body not feel like mine? I want to turn my body over!’

“Mrs. Cerera, look!”

Both of their sights were on me and at that moment, my body fell over.

“Oh, my.”

I could hear Cerera’s surprised footsteps.

‘Ah, it’s damn hard.’

As I gasped for breath and laid my head in the covers, I could hear several voices drop from above.

“She turned herself over! She succeeded!”

“Now she can turn herself so well. Oh, my.”

Just by doing this, my body was the type that got completely tired out so I didn’t know what to do. But when I turned over Cerera picked me up into her bosom.

‘Nanny, it was hard.’ *sob*

“Anyway did you see the bruise on her side, Mrs. Cerera?”

“Ah, that.”

Cerera’s face darkened. The bruise faded to the point that it was hard to find right away, but I could still remember the sound of her gasp the night when Cerera tried to wash me. I guess it was a very bloody bruise because all week she kept on rubbing all sorts of medicine on it.

“Can we hide this? That Princess did this.”

“For now, keep your silence.”

At her firm command, Elaine shut her mouth tightly. Cerera lifted my clothes and checked my torso.

‘Ah, I am a pitiful creature who can’t even look at her own side.’

“Thanks to the medicine the doctor gave me, it’s much better now. I was worried it would scar, but thankfully it healed.”

Elaine lifted her face and check out my bruise. It looked like she was still worried.

“However, if we hide this…”

“Shhh…”

In a split second, she cut off Elaine’s chatter. I have never seen Cerera this serious before, so I found it was all quite mysterious.

‘I couldn’t help myself. Kids will be kids I guess.

Ah! No, no, I’m a twenty-five year old human being.’

“Think of the consequences if this was known widely.”

Nanny lowered me back into the bassinet. My bassinet, as usual, had fluffy blankets and smelled delightful.

*Rub Rub Rub*

‘This feels really good.’

“I guess our necks would be the first to go.”

“I am not afraid of that.”

Cerera’s voice was low. And it was heavy. I turned my face to look at her. Only when I laughed did her serious expression go away. Her fingers proceeded to touch my head. Her gentle fingers were stroking my cheeks as I closed my eyes.

“This precious princess being cursed by others as being the seed of war is why I don’t want others to know.”

As she said this, she turned off all the lights. Yet, there was a light that couldn’t be covered even with thick curtains; even so, it was peaceful, like being in my mother’s womb.

“Wah…”

I let out my voice because I didn’t like the silence. Yet the silence was heavier than before. It was a case of being surrounded by noise then suddenly silence. It was heavier than if it was quiet from the beginning. ‘If only I could talk….. When do I get teeth?’

My relatives did have babies, but I only met them once or twice a year on holidays. I never had to nor took care of a baby, so I had no clue. ‘I heard that around one year a baby could walk, so before that, do they grow any teeth? I want to walk as soon as possible. I want to crawl, sit up, stand up and walk.

It’s frustrating.’

To lay around all day looking out a window is really tiresome. Especially at night when there was no one to take care of you. The loneliness would come back a hundredfold.

‘Is this the reason why babies cry to death when they wake up in the middle of the night?’

However, I didn’t want to cry. My body may be 3 months old, but my mind is a 25 year old lady.

‘Yes, that’s right. I guess it’s cause I lived as a baby for 3 months already, but I did get a bit used to these daily frustrations.

Hmmm, I guess it’s good I wasn’t born as a boy.

The son of the crazed tyrant.

Just thinking about it gives me the chills.

No that would be the second problem, the first would be to figure out my sexual preference when I got married if my body was a boy. Ugh!’

I should’ve stopped thinking useless thoughts and slept, but then I heard a small creaking noise.

‘Huh? Wait, a creak?’

Just in case, I peeked with slitted eyes. At my sides, I saw something with my shitty vision. It was a figure holding a sword and there were two silhouettes.

‘That thick silhouette can’t belong to a woman.

No, impossible.

Did someone enter my room? And through a window? It seems to be unwelcome night visitors. In case they were assassins I got scared right away. In just three months I’m going to get murdered again?

It’s scary.’ I felt something drop in my chest. It was fear.

‘What to do? What can I do? Should I scream? What am I supposed to do?!’

Through my bed bars, I could see the dark figures come closer. I got scared and clasped my hands tightly. ‘Should I- should I cry for now?!’

“She’s sleeping.”

If the voice I heard wasn’t his, I would have cried at the top of my voice. I sighed as all the tension suddenly left me and furrowed my brows.

‘What the hell! It’s the guy called dad.’

“Did she wake up?”

A huge hand clasped my whole head. It was a bit cold.

I was so surprised, I almost opened my eyes, but thankfully I was able to continue pretending to be asleep.

‘Thank goodness. This was the result of training for twenty-five years. As my parent’s daughter, I would pretend to sleep then go on the computer at night. To think it would come in handy here.

All kinds of things can happen if you live long enough.

What’s the reason for visiting me at this late hour?

And sneaking in like a pervert by the window…

I mean, if he wanted to, he can visit me anytime he wants, so what is the reason he came in like some kind of creep? I kinda want to know.

No, I want to know really badly…..’

“You have become so sincere .”

‘Huh?’ I was taken aback. In fact, I was so taken aback I forgot to breathe. Of course, I eventually let out small breaths but Keitel might have noticed I was awake. ‘Damn.’

Anyway, that voice didn’t belong to Keitel. It was a voice I heard for the first time.

‘No, that’s not the problem here…..

Why is that voice so sticky?’

“I thought nothing would change because you had a kid.”

It was a man’s voice. It was low, seductive and way too sticky and sweet. If the words weren’t cold I would have thought he was hitting on him and whispering words of love to his ears.

‘The hell? A guy can have a voice like that?’

“You didn’t seem human when you were killing all your other babies.”

He’s also got a knack for pissing people off down to an art form. Just listening made my inwards squirm. I guess if he’s going to hang out with someone, he’s going to hang out with someone just like him. Birds of a feather flock together.

Today, as I realized the wisdom of our ancestors, I had to endure goosebumps breaking out as he stroked my cheek. ‘Gosh, it’s cold.’ Then I heard low laughter.

“You’re right.”

‘That was Keitel.’

“I also find myself strange.”

‘What’s so strange about it? It’s because I myself worked to the bone in order to be cute and therefore make you my slave.’

I nodded my head in agreement as I thought of this unbelievable bullshit.

And I grew sad at the fact that I knew it was all unbelievable bullshit. ‘Damn.’

As I grew sullen I felt the hand that was caressing me slow down. It seemed that Keitel was lost in thought.

‘Wait, are you going to choke my neck?’

The saying a chick who has eaten honey came around from the poem  in India  (1440~1518)

his poem compare knowledge as sweet honey and there was a saying The one who has honey no longer speaks

It might have changed to a chick who has eaten honey  because of a chick that like honey and got a stomachache so he wasn’t able to talk and his wife thought he wanted some honey water     -__-

or it could be from the fact honey was rare in the past so if you had honey you wouldn’t be able to talk as you will be too busy stuffing yourself so you become a chick that had honey but the most likely reason would probably be if you had honey in your mouth it would be sticky making it difficult to talk.

“I hear they would me checking the entrance from now on.” might not be completely accurate because there was a typo on the page!      Σ(゜ロ゜;)

I heard it suppose to say rejecting envoys from now

Samshin Halmoni, the Grandmother Samsin, is the triple goddess of childbirth and fate in Korean mythology.

I still don’t know if Princess Faylene gave her a bloody bruise her on purpose or was it really  an accident out of ignorance .She didn’t know her own strength as she pinched the baby. Was it her plan to pinch her from the start or did it happen because the baby kept making a fuss?

p.s

looks good enough that people can swallow back their rice probably is average pretty so she not greedy ^-^
