Chapter 7: The Ehter Chapter 7
“Ah, no that is not so to eat, princess!” Elene exclaimed very loudly
I widened both my eyes
Ah, that surprised me
She could just say it nor? I didn’t take it to eat
I wanted to find out what it was by putting it in my mouth!
She could just say it was “dirty”, why did she feel the need to shout? As I froze stiff in one place like a chick who had eaten honey Serira’s strict order came from behind
“Elene”
Serira!
Serira slowly came over and took the hairpin Elene had taken away from me and put it back in my hand
Ah? I can play with it?
Elene, for a ot worked up but Serira quietly used her position to silence her
“How can you yell at the princess? Look, she was so surprised”
It was a hairpin, a hairpin!
What did they call it when one would automatically put an object inside their mouth? A habit?
No, it was instinct I already kneas a hairpin using my eyes However, my brain knew it, not my body My body didn’t knohat it was, so it did its own thing to examine what it ithout my brain’s perot in trouble She got into ot inin trouble Last week she caused that big accident However, even if she’s clumsy to the point that I find her quite hateful, I honestly didn’t really dislike her, and I find this quite odd Was this what one would call a deently, no matter how annoyed you are, you have to say it quietly Did you forget?”
“I’m sorry”
Elene lowered her head, dispirited Even though I knew in tenhow depressed she was Was it because I saw her face a lot? Seriously, I’m…
You could do better next time I wanted to say and raise my hand to pat her on her back…
Why was I a baby? Why? Why was it the case?!
My hands didn’t reach her
“Where is the pacifier?”
Since I aving
Nanny, you weren’t looking for the saht?
Even if you disinfected it, I’d still feel kind of grossed-out, a lot actually
Mrs Nanny, I was still a baby Wah-wah, please treat me well…
“Here, princess”
Ah, it was a new one!
The pacifier she gave me was one I had seen for the first one It’s cute like me I didn’t know because it was new, but as I sucked it, I found it quite hard to chew on If I kept sucking on it, would it turn soft?
“The princess seeuys atching me To peek at someone else’s private pacifier moment was rude, people!
Ho ho, but since both of you are so close to ive you
What should I do? I think I fell in love with my sucker I had turned into a body that couldn’t live with a pacifier damn!
“Heh, Heh, pretty”
Elene as in love with ain
How rowing tired of hearing the word pretty I would just keep sucking on my pacifier
After that incident last week, the palace was in an uproar I was stuck in ot, but as usual, with my nanny’s informative conversations with Elene, I found out what happened afterward
“The princess is so pitiful”
With one word it called at the wrong place, at the wrong ti to her, but she had the worst luck ever because she met me at the worst possible time and she alsoby at the worst time possible I knew the emperor ordered his men to execute her, but a part of uess somewhere in me didn’t believe it was possible…
Yesterday, when Elene 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 they would check the entrance from now on”
“It was an incident that left all the princess and crown princess in the royal palace shaking in their shoes”
Elene, with a sullen face, played with her hands
“I feel sorry for her After all, it was not like she had a choice or wanted to cooes for me too Who said I wanted to be born with such a father?!
Grandma Samsin(Korean Goddess of birth)come out! I think you need to take this back It doesn’t have to be an erow up under noruess you can’t?
“The E others!”
You just figured that out now? My father’s a sadist Can you not proudly announce so I found out last week?
I wanted to yell back, but I can only row?
Now I kno a mute feels, I wondered ould I be able to talk?
I! Want! To! Talk!
“I a as you know”
Serira let it go without saying le thing Huh? For so anyway
“However, our princess is so pretty She doesn’t seehter at all”
Didn’t you say last ti me?
I was so tired of it I just turned my head away Then Elene followed the direction where I turnedI turned rows up, she will be a beauty”
Stop saying such hopeful words I didn’t believe in my beauty yet I hadn’t even seen a mirror, so I didn’t even kno I looked like, but to say I would be a beauty, one needed to wait until I was at least over sixteen to find that out If it’s not true, I would cry
Wait, et married at sixteen?
Ah, what if I didn’t inherit the emperor’s beauty?!
“She is only three months old”
“Ha, The apple doesn’t fall far fro you to wait until I was at least sixteen!
I didn’t want to fight I didn’t want to ruin my beauty with my own hands!
Saw it like this God, I was born under a crazy emperor, so I wanted my looks to be at least pretty, okay!?
I was not asking for ood enough that people can s back their rice
Nae Kyō (This is a Buddhist mantra)
“I want to quickly take her for a walky-walky”
“Please restrain yourself she can’t even sit upright yet”
