Lookie! I'm 4 months old now. Just like a baby in general, I was able to go on my stomach. Well, it should be. But, I was determined to hide the fact that I could already go on my stomach. I heard from the servants, emperors and queens about to hold a march on the streets of the capital with me lying on my stomach on a horse-drawn carriage. Haha, it feels better that I am a baby who can't be anything.
At first, I did not believe the words of the servants who sounded exaggerated. But, as soon as I saw the attitude of the emperor and queen all this time, I became more trusting of the servants than I was of myself.
The emperor and the queen and her five children always overreacted to me. Everything I do is always considered the 8th wonder of the world.
I burp is considered the voice of an angel. My farts sound like melodious music. And, even breathing was hailed as graceful. I myself do not know where the graceful part is.
All right, I'm gonna keep sleeping without lying on my stomach or crawling or sitting or talking or walking. Because I know, emperors and queens will be more exaggerated. Perhaps, there could have been a strange memorial day or a massive march or even a party. I obviously don't want to embarrass myself.
At first I planned so. But, all my plans failed because the two creatures instead brought in saintess to check on my health. Aye! They called on priests with holy powers to examine babies who had not been able to lie on their stomach by 4 months.
"How's Ristel doing?"
I looked at the fierce emperor. This brain is really broken, huh? Though, I heard that the queen and her silver tendrils have great healing powers. Maybe he even invited a saintess who had to travel for 4 days to get to this terrible empire. Worse yet, the emperor had not only invited 1 saintess. But, invite all the saints that exist in the empire. In fact, the elder brother of the queen who was the emperor in the empire next door also sent out the users of healing and saintess powers.
And guess what they did? My room was crowded with men and women dressed in white with unfamiliar faces. Argh!!! Just really!!!
"Mr Princess Auristele is fine! But, we'll take the Princess' blood sample for the examination!" A saintess with white hair and skin that was already wrinkled like an orange looked at me.
I looked at him fiercely.
What does that mean for a blood sample? I'm just trying to protect my pride. So, there is no need for any blood sampling.
"Do you intend to hurt Ristel?" The emperor clenched his hand. Prepare to unleash his power to fight.
Bravo, emperor! Let's destroy this palace again so I can sleep in your room!
"Well, if His Majesty the Emperor doesn't want to know what happened to Princess Auristele it doesn't matter. We're going!" The saintess turned her body away and walked away. Followed by other saints.
The users of healing power were silent. Their presence here is for nothing. They've been trying to cure me. But, always fail. It was because their strength could only heal wounds or diseases. A baby who refuses to lie on his stomach because it protects his self-esteem is definitely not a disease.
"Good! Do whatever you need for Ristel's recovery. But, make sure he's not hurt!" The emperor stared ferociously at the smiling saints and walked back towards my baby box.
Hey!!! What the fuck are you!!! If they take my blood, they'll have to hurt me. Where do you think the blood came from? My saliva?
A saintess head appeared above my baby box. I looked at him fiercely. Like a little lion cub staring at his prey.
"I think the Princess' expression should also be checked. He looked like he wanted to kill me. Haha.." the saintess laughed crisply.
"We'll do it!" Alaric and the four other princes stepped forward.
"If anything happens to Ristel...." Dimitri floated his sword on the 2-meter-high wooden cabinet until it split in two. Either the wood is too thin or Dimitri's sword is too sharp.
A saintess walked over to me with a trembling body. In his hand he saw a pen with a small needle hidden in it like the tip of a pen. I'm speechless. I thought they were gonna cut my hand. Apparently with just a little needle, yeah. I think my hand should be slashed if there were no 6 eyes staring fiercely.
I don't think it's a problem if it's just a little needle. Nah! It's a big deal! Not just one or two saints pierced me with needle-tipped pencils. Almost all saints do. They also took my hair and saliva. They say it is because the saints have expertise in certain fields such as nerves, internal diseases, bones, joints or others. And, they require a lot of samples for inspection. But, to me this is more akin to torture than examination.
Alright!!! I surrendered. I can go on my stomach. Y'all see?!?! So, stop this torture.
I twisted my body quickly. The emperor and the five princes looked at me with sparkling eyes.
"Ristel can get on his stomach!" Emperor carries me.
"We are proud of Ristel!"
"Good little brother!"
"Ristel is the best!
"Ristel is big!"
"Ristel is so smart!"
"Ristel is a genius!"
I thought it would be like this. At the very least, this is better than having to face the crazy saintess that keeps injecting me. But can you change my nickname? That "Ristel" name makes me miss the food in my hometown! So, change my nickname to another one. Ele or Auris or anyone other than Ristel.
Oi!! Why do your eyes look so disgusting? You guys listen to me no, anyway? Of course they didn't listen to me. Or rather I can't understand what I'm saying. That's because....
"Aboo!!! Bo!!! Oh!!! Appu!!" That word came out of my mouth.
Argh!!! When can this baby speak clearly?!?!
"We're also happy, Ristel has been able to go on his stomach!" The emperor emptied his cheeks. The other princes held my feet and hands. I stared at the emperor's head flat.
Anyone! Help me out of this sickening state!
That day, the emperor, queen and princes stayed in my room and made a bed a few meters above the ground in order to see me clearly.
The servants are getting busy. The emperor even increased the number of servants. Because, tomorrow there will be a massive march on the streets of the capital. Huh! The emperor held a march only overnight. In fact, she thought she was the king's daughter who gave the conditions to the man who proposed to her to set up the march just overnight?
If I were a servant, I would quit this job and look for a more decent job where my master is not a mad emperor with 5 princes who are no less crazy.
