[Episode 77]
“Uh… yes.”
I don’t think it’s a rare face, but I haven’t seen it for a long time.
“Have you met the prince?”
“yes.”
“How was it?”
“It was good.”
At my short answer, the emperor gave a puzzled expression.
He looked at me carefully, burst into laughter, and then nodded. I tilted my head.
“Did you know that the country was turned upside down because of you? Even the Imperial Knights weren’t enough to stop that mad dog.”
I thought I knew who I was talking about.
“Yes, you saved my son. If there’s anything you want, I’ll listen to you, so tell me.”
“You want it?”
I don’t have anything right now
I rubbed my cheeks with the palm of my hand several times, rolled my legs, tilted my head, and then shook my head because I still couldn’t think of it.
“I can’t remember anything right now.”
“Then, if you ever need anything later, just let me know.”
“Well then, can I come visit the Hwangseong often?”
“Hwangsung?”
“Yes, Enosh… No, I want to see the prince and Lily.”
Entering the imperial family was only possible with the permission of the imperial family.
“That is not difficult. Get a pass from the chamberlain before you leave.”
Sijong Noh, who had brought me here, bent slightly and smiled.
‘Was it the chamberlain…?’
Wouldn’t it be a considerable rank if you were the chief chamberlain of the imperial family? It was a little strange that such a person came to pick me up.
As if waiting for the emperor to finish his words, the woman next to him looked at me and opened her mouth.
“Finally we meet like this. I am the one who becomes Enosh’s mother.”
She was also an empress.
She had beautiful ruby eyes and her navy blue hair was pulled up.
She was a very graceful-looking woman. His voice was soft, his eyes kind, and his skin pale, similar to Enosh of old.
“Thank you for saving Enosh. I’m not very strong, but if you ever need my help, let me know.”
“yes!”
“I think I know why Prince Etam, who had never been interested in other people from long ago, circulated around you so much.”
“yes?”
“I was very rebellious and I thought I couldn’t function properly as a human being, but because of you, Prince Etam seems to be able to function as a human being at least. To be good parents.”
Good parents don’t hand over billions and the headship to a 10-year-old.
It was embarrassing even thinking about it again.
“I think I can understand why Duke Colin was so against entrusting you to Prince Etham.”
She smiled with a very friendly face and spoke comfortably. It was a little surprising that he was comfortable talking about Erno Etam and Duke Colin.
As if she noticed my doubts, she opened her mouth first.
“I know because I went to the same academy. His Majesty also attended the same period.”
Oh, that was it.
If it wasn’t for some reason, there’d be no way he’d see the assassin even if he sent it at night, right?
“I heard you became the head of household.”
“Ah yes…”
“That guy has been doing very crazy things ever since. He did crazy things to the point where I wondered if it was possible for a normal person to do such crazy things.”
The emperor, who had been listening to the empress, interrupted.
“Yeah…”
But I don’t know why you’re cursing at Dad.
I would hate it if I did it, but since it was someone else, I didn’t feel good.
“This is one of the most crazy things I’ve ever seen.”
Of course, I agree with this statement.
Which ducal family in the world would hand over the headship to a ten-year-old?
Even while cheating on my father.
“But… this present can be given as you become the head of the house.”
“A gift?”
“Yes, I will give you a territory in the south of the Empire. Yeongjiji has the most fertile land and is a good place to rest, and various fruits are its specialties.”
The emperor snapped his finger, and the chamberlain came out with something.
It was a luxurious parchment rolled up. As I opened my eyes wide, the chamberlain held out the parchment and the seal to me.
“Uh… thank you.”
I accidentally accepted it.
“Your father has his eyes on you, so I decided to give it to you because I was afraid they would attack sooner or later.”
“Ah….”
How on earth is the image of Dad reflected in the world?
When I laughed awkwardly, the emperor looked at me blankly and let out a big smile.
“I don’t know how something so mild ended up with him. No, maybe I should say that it’s fortunate that there’s something as soft as you.”
“yes?”
The emperor shrugged at my question.
“I’m talking to myself.”
“yes.”
“Dragons are said to have insight, so that’s why you sensed the disease infested by insects in advance.”
It’s not really like that, but it’s misunderstood on its own, so let’s do that.
He nodded awkwardly and let out a short breath.
“There will be storms around you in the future.”
The emperor, who seemed tired, suddenly opened his mouth with a hardened expression.
“The Etam family, including Erno Etam, will desperately protect you, but even so, there will be hands all over the place looking for you.”
“….”
“You will see the ugly face of a human in the future, and you will receive a greedy favor. You may have no choice but to constantly suspect someone.”
His voice was firm, firm, and confident. I looked at him quietly.
“There is a high probability that the Etam family made you the head of the household when you were still young. Touching Etam’s family head would mean that you want to wage war against those monsters.”
I looked at him and nodded slowly. It seemed like he knew what to expect.
‘Even in novels, dragons are always at the center of storms.’
The emperor laughed lightly.
“You will be guilty of not knowing in the future. So learn a lot. Only when you know the flow of power and can read people’s minds will you be able to survive.”
“yes.”
“The Etam family summoned all of them, both direct and collateral, to the main family after you woke up.”
I widened my eyes.
It was a fact I hadn’t noticed at all, as I rarely left my room and the main mansion.
“In the Etam family, the direct line stands out, but the collateral line also has formidable force and power, so it cannot be ignored.”
Was it?
In fact, when it turned into a political dispute later, it was the Etam family who fought alongside the heroine.
‘Come to think of it, treason won’t happen anymore.’
Since the second prince lived and the emperor wasn’t crazy, the story didn’t flow to a strange place.
“If they get angry, maybe it won’t be difficult to turn a small country into a mess.”
do you mean that much?
In fact, if you see Duke Mirelle breaking a table with one punch, you know that it’s not a very credible story.
‘Other people didn’t know much…’
In fact, I didn’t see Callan or Silian using their bodies well either.
“Why don’t you stop nagging here? Because I want to spend a very long time with you.”
I blinked at the words of the emperor, who smiled lightly unlike before.
“Can I ask you a favor?”
“Please?”
“Okay, please don’t become a bad dragon.”
evil dragon?
I made a puzzled face, but the emperor just smiled and said nothing more.
“Suddenly, an intruder will come.”
“Are you a hindrance?”
“Yes, your father. It seems to have entered the imperial castle.”
“Aha…”
My eyes lit up at the news that Dad was coming. I don’t know why I feel so good.
“Maybe it’s because it’s imprinted on it, but even just hearing the word, it seems like Abi is good.”
“yes?”
“Erno Etham has been right next to you for five years so that he doesn’t miss your imprint.”
What is the imprint and what is it that sticks?
“It’s surprising how quickly someone gets bored of anything.”
Boom—
the door opened and Erno Etam entered. It was a truly unpretentious visit.
“You still don’t know what etiquette is, don’t you?”
At the Emperor’s words, Erno Etam glanced at him and nodded with a smile.
“Meet the sun, the splendor of a great empire.”
The emperor frowned at Erno Etam’s words.
“Why do you sound sarcastic every time you say that?”
“He said he could only hear something in his ears.”
“…If you had died for insulting the imperial family, you would have already died five hundred more times.”
“You’re not dead, you’re alive.”
“….”
Dad, who did not lose a word to the emperor, naturally came in and took me into his arms.
“Did you play well? daughter.”
“yes.”
“That’s good. Then let’s go back.”
Dad kissed me lightly on the cheek.
I nodded at the friendly voice and moved my gaze to the emperor, and he threw off his chest and opened his mouth.
