Chapter 8. Let’s protect Oscar! 2020.02.29.
If Oscar’s maternal uncle, Sir Donovan must be the brother or brother of Duke Donovan. The atmosphere was somehow cheap. Sir Donovan stared at Oscar with eyes so cold that he doubted whether he had been smirking at me until now.
“Oscar. why are you here It must be time to study royal studies now, right?”
Even his voice changed. It was so cold that even I was terrified. The conversation partner, Oscar, bowed his head with a depressed face.
“I have finished all the assignments my uncle gave me.”
“Look at the way I came out to play right after I finished my assignment. Who would be considered the successor of an empire? Disappointing Oscar Alle Hermano. Aren’t you ashamed of your last name, Ermano?”
“….”
Perhaps Sir Donovan was Oscar’s mentor.
‘Then, was that person the one who read ‘On the ills of Bordosism advocated by Algor Chekhov’ to Oscar?’
Oscar was still young. Even though he was the next emperor, it was premature to read such a difficult book. After all, isn’t six years old still the age to play in full swing? If it’s a book, you should read a fairy tale. No matter how much he is an uncle, he stirs up the child too much. When I glanced up, the nanny seemed to be thinking the same as me, and her expression was not very bright.
‘Something.’
There’s not much I can do, but I could help with Oscar.
“Don’t disgrace the royal family and the Donovan family, Oscar. If you don’t have anything to decide, it’s better to go back and practice.”
Sir Donovan shot coldly at Oscar. Even the emperor is not so strict with his son, Oscar, so why would the uncle step in and catch the child? Oscar, stunned, turned and trudged to the door. I just felt uncomfortable.
‘Ehh. I can’t help it.’
I took a deep breath and clenched my fists. and.
“Aww!”
Wept. very big Then everyone in the room focused on me. I cried more bitterly.
“Aaaaaaaaa!!”
“oh. Why is it that someone who never cries in her life suddenly…”
The nanny started looking at me. But I was neither wet nor hungry. No nanny could figure out why I was crying. Because this was a forced fake cry! I cried and reached out for Oscar. Oscar came up to me and held my hand tightly. There was no longer any fear of his uncle on his friendly smiling face.
“Mabel is fine.”
“Aww.”
“are you okay. Let’s drop it.”
Oscar soothed me calmly. As I stretched out my arms toward Oscar, the nanny hesitated for a moment before handing me over to Oscar.
“Are you nice, Mabel?”
Oscar calmed me down in a posture I was used to by now. I stopped crying and sobbed, clinging to Oscar. I was also surprised that I didn’t know how to cry so well.
‘I wonder if I was actually a god of acting.’
It was a time when I was swallowing the afterglow of crying. A large hand came suddenly in front of my eyes. I looked up and saw Sir Donovan with both hands outstretched towards me.
“Oscar. The little princess is injured, so give it to me.”
“yes? But uncle…”
“Come on. Then you might drop the princess.”
Sir Donovan stretched out his hand even more, reprimanding me sternly. I glared at Sir Donovan and clung to Oscar. and shouted loudly.
“sheep!”
“…sheep?”
“Yang-!”
“…??”
Sir Donovan put on a bewildered expression at my ‘sheep’ attack. I glared harder at Sir Donovan.
‘go away. You vicious child abuser!’
The nanny, who had been watching the situation, intervened between Oscar and Sir Donovan, laughing awkwardly.
“Your Highness seems to be shy. I think you will have to escort me out of the bedroom for the time being.”
“…I guess so.”
“His Highness the Princess likes Her Highness the Prince very much, so His Highness the Prince stops by every day. If it doesn’t come, keep looking.”
I never found Oscar, but such a lie was welcome.
‘As expected, nanny is the best.’
Sir Donovan’s gaze fell on Oscar. He sighed lightly and stroked Oscar’s hair.
“Have fun playing with the little princess.”
“…yes maternal uncle.”
Sir Donovan, who was looking at me full of regret, left.
‘The eradication was successful!’
Oscar checked the closed door and looked down at me with a bright smile.
“It’s okay Mabel. The uncle has gone.”
yes yes I must have gone because I was after him.
“By the way, Mabel. Did you really find me every day?”
I smiled weakly at Oscar’s brightened face. Think of it as you like.
‘Ehh. It’s hard to take care of a child.’

“Rit.”
At someone’s call, Lisandro stopped and looked back. It was his sister, Duke Pasifica Donovan, the head of the Donovan family, who called him.
“What’s going on, sister?”
“I heard that you volunteered to escort the princess.”
“Because no one came forward. And you know. How much do I like babies?”
Despite Lisandro’s words as a joke, the duke didn’t even smile lightly.
“Don’t be silly, Lit.”
“Since my sister is acting so hard, I shouldn’t be fooling myself either.”
Seeing a bright smile, the duke clicked his tongue briefly. Then he asked.
“So what about the princess you met in person?”
At that question, Lisandro’s eyes widened slightly.
“Ah… I’ve never seen such a lovely and cute baby since I was born. Cherry blossom hair, light blue eyes… Really, really cute! It must be an angel!”
Just thinking about it raised the corners of my mouth. The small, wriggling hand was so cute that I wanted to hold it at least once. But the most adorable thing was her plump cheeks that didn’t lose any breast meat!
“…Right.”
Despite Lisandro’s fuss, the duke nodded shyly. When her expression wasn’t that bright, Lisandro nodded knowingly.
“Don’t worry, sister. Because I already know that my sister doesn’t like babies very much. Isn’t that why you’re being so harsh with Oscar? Like my sister, I’m being strict with Oscar, but…”
In the old days, Lisandro often played with Oscar as her maternal uncle. It was because Oscar, who lived alone in the imperial castle away from his mother, seemed lonely. Next, Sianna, who became empress, took good care of her, but she felt obligated to take care of her nephew because she was her mother’s younger sister. However, her sister was always cold towards Oscar. Even though he is a small and lovely child, I told him to throw away his immaturity. Not too long ago, he even asked Lisanro not to treat him rudely when he took on the role of Oscar’s master of studies and swordsmanship.
“sister. Isn’t that too much for Oscar though? I’m only six years old yet-”
“stop.”
The Duke cut off Lisandro. She watched him with sharp eyes and then turned without hesitation.
“It was a long chat. Now go back to work, Rit.”
As if he had no intention of listening to an answer, the duke walked away and disappeared. Lisandro, who had been suddenly summoned but abandoned unilaterally, scratched the back of his head for no reason.
‘There was something to say… wasn’t it?’
I’m not the one to call you if you don’t have business. Rather than that, the sister’s expression when she heard the story of the princess caught on.
“I’m worried about the little princess for incurring her sister’s hatred…” As
Mabel grows up, she will have many encounters with her sister, the duke, but what will happen then?
‘If you treat Oscar the same way, the little princess will be hurt.’
Lisandro, who was worried about the days ahead, sighed deeply and covered his face.
“…phew. You should worry about me.”
I have to think about what to do to not be hated by the little princess.
***
Time passed very slowly. If I hadn’t remembered my previous life, this period would have passed quickly, but unfortunately I remembered everything. But even in this boring peace I did what I could.
‘The first thing to do is to perfectly master the pear meal!’
Now I could lift my head while lying on my stomach.
‘Return to the next step!’
Flipping and reversing took some time and was still difficult, but it was possible. I secretly practiced when no one was around, so everyone didn’t know that I knew how to retrace. After I was able to flip it, I didn’t even do it during the day when there were people. Because of that, the nanny was not alone in her worries.
“You’re not trying to move all these days… Are you sick?”
hot. My conscience was stabbed, but I pretended not to know and accepted and ate the baby food that the nanny was scooping. I still take it alternately with powdered milk, but now that I am eating baby food, I realize that I am becoming a person myself.
‘I want to eat quickly.’
Since we are members of the royal family, wouldn’t we eat a lot of delicious things?
‘In my previous life, there were things I wanted to eat, but I couldn’t eat them.’
Ordering and eating chicken was a huge burden, so I don’t remember ordering it a few times. At most, it was the convenience store chicken I bought as a meal when I was working part-time at a convenience store.
‘…Let’s stop thinking. It makes me depressed.’
I pushed away the memories of my previous life that I struggled with.
“You ate everything calmly today. The child is pretty.”
After patting my cheek, the nanny wiped my mouth with a bib and went out with a bowl. When I was full, I fell asleep. While I was blinking my sleepy eyes at the ceiling, I felt a strong gaze from somewhere. Poof! When I turned my head, I met him right away. That man standing at the door is Lisandro Donovan. He was said to be Oscar’s maternal uncle, swordsman master, and godfather who also taught other studies. To put it bluntly, he is a master.
‘Actually, he’s a child abuser.’
“joy.”
When I snorted and glared at him, Lisandro pretended to wipe away tears and looked at me with pitiful eyes. Even if you act like an idiot now, your attitude will suddenly change when Oscar comes… After realizing that the only time Oscar could catch his breath was when he was with me, I decided to keep Lisandro away as much as possible.
“It’s a little princess…”
Normally, if you stare at her like this, Lisandor disappears quickly, but today she’s persistent. I bang the cradle with my palm! He slammed down and shouted majestically.
“Sheep!”
…all because of the concept. really.
“I’ll go. I will go.”
Leaving behind a voice dripping with regret, Lisandro hid herself. Xavier, who watched the whole scene, said with an awkward smile.
“Every time I see it, I don’t get used to it. That Your Highness hates someone this much.”
“I know. It would be normal to hate you more than Sir Donovan.”
When Larimar replied indifferently, Xavier smiled and became angry.
“What does that mean?”
“If you put it in order of face, I mean.”
“hey! Larimar!”
A chase ensued again. Those guys seem to have a disease that they shouldn’t fight with once an hour. I hope the night comes soon.
‘I want to practice creeping at least.’
As I was staring at the window, the nanny who had brought something to sew came up to me.
“You seem very bored. majesty. It’s a warm day. Shall we go on a picnic by the lake?”
“Ugh?”
suddenly?
“If you go to the northern forest, you might see the kitty that Your Highness likes again.”
“Sheep?”
“yes. Are you okay?”
How can I correct this misunderstanding? Everyone seemed to think that I really liked the cat Shinsu like crazy, probably because I played Yangyang. It’s not that, it’s just being faithful to the concept. If I could only speak, I would definitely say it.
‘I’m not that obsessed with the cat Shinsoo!’
Of course I like cats, but…!
“Your eyes are bright. Are you that good?”
…Until then, I will never be able to escape this misunderstanding. The nanny, who misunderstood my opinion, finished preparing to go out in a flash. Even after the first outing, I went out often, so I wasn’t as curious as before. The baby carriage was comfortable, and I don’t know if Lisandro was following me secretly, but at least I was satisfied that I couldn’t see it. But there was one big problem.
‘It’s too hot…’
I didn’t know it when I was in the building where the magic to maintain the temperature was in effect, but it was summer outside.
“Hey.”
At my whining, the nanny pulled down the baby carriage’s awning as much as possible. It was still hot though.
“This is called summer, Your Highness. Is it a lot hotter than when you came out before?”
Did you mean that you didn’t just come out to play, but to make you feel the summer…!
‘It’s against the rules, nanny.’
You can’t whine if it’s for such an educational purpose.
“Whew….”
I decided to put up with it to alleviate the stress of parenting for the nanny. As I passed the garden, I smelled fresh flowers as if I had come to a flower garden. Flowers of primary colors were in full bloom everywhere. As I stared at the flowers, the nanny shook off the undamaged flowers from the floor and placed them on my lap.
“This is a flower. Isn’t it pretty?”
“Uh…”
I carefully lifted the flower.
Although the tip was a bit muddy, it was still a fresh and pretty flower. The act of receiving flowers from me was one of the extravagant things. Bouquets were very expensive and were only given on special occasions.
‘For example, the entrance ceremony or graduation ceremony… or when receiving an award.’
No one came to my entrance and graduation ceremonies, so I never received flowers. So, watching other children taking pictures with their parents holding a bouquet of flowers…
“…Eww.”
I shook my head.
‘What are you thinking? It’s already over.’
However, I liked the still vibrant red petals, so I carefully placed the flower back on my lap.
“I guess you liked the flowers. Be cute! Shall we pick some flowers?”
Larimar covered her cheeks and made a fuss. For some reason, the nanny smiled kindly and nodded.
“Then break it a little to decorate the vase.”
In the meantime, we arrived at the lakeside at the entrance to the northern forest.
