The Only Princess
Chapter 15's
I'm 8 months old. I was strong enough to sit up and crawl. The five princes often crawled with me on the soft fur carpet. The first time I crawled, I fell head down first. The princes panicked and thought I was dead.
The emperor who had not heard from where came straight to my room. After making sure I was still alive without severe injuries like the one who jumped from the 20th floor of the skyscraper, the emperor immediately summoned all the servants and fired them or even worse, he said, their heads were cut off from their bodies. I cried to save them!
Fortunately, it all ended up according to what I expected. The salaries and heads of the servants were still intact.
Instead, the emperor directly ordered all carpet artisans to make very soft carpets. Softer than heaven. And, it could save the fallen victim from a height without the slightest injury.
Anyone who can make or look for the carpet as the emperor hoped, will be rewarded with the title of Duke complete with home and territory.
Huh!!! I can't stop thinking, the emperor gave the title of duke like giving candy to a baby. The title was only 2 levels below the emperor. He had completely lost his mind.
I'm sure, no one will be able to find a carpet like that. But I seem to have concluded too quickly. The construction magicians were apparently able to get the carpet according to what the emperor wanted. A soft fur carpet that can catch a victim falling from a height without the slightest injury. The Emperor immediately tested the carpet by dropping Euclid from the top of my room. And, as a result, Euclid was still alive unharmed.
I don't know if the emperor wants to test that rug or reduce his descendants.
I crawl a lot because I have to admit, the carpet is very soft and I like it on it. Thanks to that, I can crawl as far as I want. That's why I'm crawling into the party hall now. The servants and princes won't take me there. So, this independent baby must crawl alone. The emperor said there would be a big party there. And, I think the emperor was right.
The party hall is full of various ornaments. Different types of flowers filled every corner of the room with an area twice that of my room. The threefold increase of servants seemed to be busy preparing the party hall to match what the emperor wanted. The chefs in the palace kitchen were also very busy cooking dishes that could number in the thousands. Seen from afar it was clear that there would be a party here. A very big party.
Is Alaric going to have his debutante's party? But, didn't every noble make a debutante at the age of 12? Alaric is only 10 years old. His debut should be 2 years away. Is he already impatient to carry out his maturity feast? But, seeing Alaric's relaxed and uncaring face made me believe that he could even wait a lifetime for his debutant.
Is this the queen's birthday party? But, the queen said her birthday was past 11 months ago. In that case, what was the birthday party of the emperor or the five princes? But, judging from the ornaments and food, it feels like this is a birthday party for girls.
Don't tell me this party is a party for me. But, in his early days the emperor held a party of this magnitude for a baby who could not even name this.
I hide behind the colorful flowers. Don't let anyone find me here. They might even take me back to my room. I've covered the girls' dolls with blankets so that the people who come into the room think I'm sleeping. So, I can sneak into the hall without worrying about being found.
Well, if anyone opens the blanket, I'm sure the entire palace will be a scene. The emperor might just directly send an entire knight to find me. The queen cried in the room all day while asking her green friend if they saw a cute baby girl walking. Meanwhile, the princes would instantly explore the entire empire even the entire world without missing a single ant hole for the sake of finding me. About from my shadow all this time, anyway.
A waiter picked up the flower I was hiding in. I was shocked to pretend to be a statue. I don't know if this can fool a waiter. But, I have no other choice. The brain is not yet developed enough to be used for thinking.
I'm silent. Try as much as possible not to move even a little nerve cell. The waiter kept looking at me. I wanted to show her eyes so she could leave. Can't he see that I'm trying to disguise myself as a statue? My butt hurts from having to hold this heavy body!
"Ah, apparently just a statue! It looks very similar to the Princess. In fact, his round cheeks were the same." The waiter squeezed my cheek ferociously. As if, he was pouring out all his desires from the moment he first saw me. It hurts a lot, but I can't move!
I'm sure, the other maids would do the same to the pipiki if they saw there was a 'sculpture' of their Princess here. So, I'll leave immediately after this servant finishes torturing me.
"Jeez!!! Come here!!!"
The waiter turned his head. Quickly go straight to the source of the sound. I crawled back and looked for a safe hiding place. I really want to know what party made the emperor to not visit me for these 3 days.
I've been waiting under the table for 2 hours. But the result remains nil. I found nothing but a waiter who kept pacing.
When viewed from the food that the chef brought from the kitchen, this is a feast for babies. But, the baby in this imperial palace is only me. Is the queen going to have another baby? But, the queen's stomach is flat. The empire already had 5 boys and 1 girl. The Queen obviously won't have any more children after I'm born. Who is this party for?
"Is the party preparation going well?" A black-haired man with a yellow eye bead appeared in the middle of the hall.
Ah, judging from his appearance, he must be Mr. Aluil, right? The father of black panther twins and the man who once fell in love with the queen. When he looks, he's handsome too. But, still the emperor was more handsome. And, creepy!
"I'm sure the Princess will love the crawl and sit-down memorial party!" One of the servants who looked like he had a higher position than the other servants smiled.
"The Emperor's Majesty seems to love Princess Auristele very much. He even told all the people to do their work by sitting in honor of the Princess!"
"Indeed a bit difficult. But, I'm sure they'll get used to it."
I who heard that conversation from behind the table immediately shuddered. It could be that the foolish emperor told his people to sit all day! He thought all the work could be done sitting down! Huhu, the people have never even met me. But, I'm sure they've planted a grudge on me.
Argh!!! I want to go back to my home world!!! I no longer feel at home in a hell filled with this doomsday!!!
