I thought it was pathetic to see Graecito hesitating earlier, but this was a natural physiological phenomenon. I kept getting sore without even realizing it. Oh, itās ruined.
āPrincess, why do you think you donāt have a mother? Iām here for you.ā
It was an abrupt remark, but I was not such a fool to the point that I didnāt know what she meant. I looked straight at Serira. I knew that she was here for me. Stillā¦
āBut you are not my real mother.ā
No matter how close I was to Serira, this was true. A nanny was a nanny, not my own mother. I was not in a position to call her a mother officially in front of others. Well, I didnāt mean to hurt her, but sometimes it was not a good idea to spout the truth, just like now.
I should have not said that. For a moment, Serira was speechless.
I looked at her in the eyes. Was she angry?
I should sew my mouth or something. I kept saying things I didnāt mean. Oh, I was thinking about what to do with this troublemakerās mouth, and suddenly, her soft hand clenched my hand. It was Seriraās hand.
āSo you donāt like me?ā
ā⦠no.ā
How could I dislike her? Sheās Serira!
Serira pulled my hand and held me in her arms. Then, she patted my head. It was the hair she touched in the morning. Well, itās a mess right now.
āIāll tell you when youāre a lot more grown-up than now, princess. Iāll tell you everything about the beautiful and lovely lady who was your mother.ā
The whispering voice was friendly. I was just surprised. Serira was paying attention to it too. Well, the lady was my mother. I already knew who that royal lady was, but in fact, all of that all came from what I heard in different ways, so I was excited that I would get to hear about my mother.
āYes. Please tell me later!ā
I wanted to emphasize one more time, but I couldnāt because Serira suddenly hugged me so hard. No matter how much you love me, I was surprised! I know how you feel about me, but it was true that it was embarrassing.
āI donāt know where these balls came from.ā
A whisper in my ear is ever so soft. I felt tingly for nothing.
āI came from another world.ā
āThen are you an angel?ā
āProbably not.ā
What angel. I was an office worker in my past life. All I learned at my company was how to tell if my superior was having a bad day. Of course I didnāt think it was pointless. Everything I learned at that time is good for me. Iāll use it someday if I remember it.
āSeriraā¦ā
Her warmth warms my body. No matter how much winter trees heat me up, as the weather got cold, my body was colder than I thought.
āYou knowā¦I want Serira to be happy.ā
Serira is too hot. I think itās going to burn.
It was nonsense, but at the moment I felt like it was really true.
āI hope Serira is the happiest person in the world. Then Iāll be happy too. Thatās what I want.ā
āPrincess.ā
I raise my head on her sobbing voice. I frown my face.
Oh, my dear mother.
āDonāt cry, Mom. why do you cry whenever I say something? I feel like Iām the one who made you cryā¦ā
I want Serira to be happy. Really, thatās what I want.
