Baby Princess Through the Status Window - Chapter 60

Chapter 60

“Princess?”

“Ellie, Sebi needs your help.”

“What happened?”

[ Ellie ]
Thoughts: Oh, what’s the matter? And you should stop talking so maturely.

With a quick nod, Siervian ran from the bedroom.

Bewildered, Ellie followed her without second thoughts.

This was because of Siervian, who was afraid Madeline’s daughter’s sickness might get worse.

‘I can’t afford to go there alone and be helpless. We will do the best we can.’

Ellie began to doubt as the Princess ran toward the restaurant.

‘I wonder if you got hungry from the long outing today.’

But contrary to Ellie’s expectations, the Princess crouched down hastily in the grass near the restaurant.

‘Good thing I planted it close.’

Whenever Siervian went to meet Karmen, she was able to find Cassia flowers again.

With that, she carefully harvested the flowers and planted them in the back of the restaurant.

A flower like Cassia can produce large amounts, and it had formed a small colony.

‘I put it nearby just in case I get sick, it’s such a relief.’

As the Princess suddenly dug up the Cassia flowers, Ellie wondered what the little girl was doing but eagerly helped.

She knew that the little flower was the herb that saved her sibling.

“We, we need thish!”

Today she was accompanied by the Emperor, so not all the ladies-in-waiting of the Imperial Palace followed.

Therefore, no one in the palace would know what they were doing, hence, Siervian made a request carefully.

“Yes, Princess, but my sibling is no longer sick.”

“Sebi knows! But anothwer child is sick.”

“Aah, I see.”

After hearing Siervian, Ellie dug even harder, remembering her younger sibling suffering from
from headaches and extreme fevers.

“It’s done.”

“May I ask who’s sick?”

In the Palace, only the Crown Prince and Karmen were Siervian’s close peers.

After Ellie asked the question, Siervian looked at her with a great determined look.

“Sebi has a reqwuest for Ellie.”

“Yes, please tell me.”

“Bwing this to the doctor in the city, her dwaughter is very sick.”

The sudden request made Ellie wonder again.

But the worried Siervian explained the whole story, what she saw in the city today.

“Yes, Should I go and come back right away?”

“Thank you!”

Unexpectedly, Ellie quickly accepted her request.

[ Ellie ]
Thoughts: You must have thought of this herb when seeing someone having a fever. It may be useless if the Imperial court doctor didn’t find this first… But if you feel comfortable with this, you can use this as many times as you want.

The thoughts moved Siervian.

There was nothing wrong with not trusting in Ellie’s decision, but rather, it would have been more strange if you fully believed a child’s words.

“Then I’ll be right back, milady.”

Jane, who heard the situation, rushed to them, supposed to fill Ellie’s seat

Seeing off Ellie, who was dressed to go out, Siervian hoped it would not be too late.

“Please be careful.”

Several days later Siervian heard the child’s fever she was worried about had gone down.

After the stormy season, the empire once again gained its sunny days.

But the Empire was somehow isolated from the continent during the stormy season.

As a result, the spring season was much more lively.

“Did you say that the grain prices have risen by 30 percent?”

However, the first news heard on the new season was not very good.

“Yes, Your Majesty. The details will be explained by Duke Pacour of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.”

Marquis Nabije, the head of the Ministry of Finance, finished the report with a rather stiff face.

This was all because of the trade routes, they were reopened but the first news that came in was very negative.

“We have urgently looked into it, reports said there was a problem with the trade route.”

Following the Marquis, Duke Pacour rose from his seat and threw a small conference marble in the middle, having a serious face.

During the stormy season, roads were practically blocked, but the empire was not completely cut off from the others either.

All empire allies were given magic communication zones that had been amplified several times with communication magic.

It was an important tool for urgent situations.

“Did this matter start by the time the grains arrived?”

The serious news was that the trade route to the north had been blocked.

“… I’m sorry Your Majesty, but there was no magic communication received.”

It only appeared that this situation was made by a clever trick using the season of the storm.

Anger flared up, but for now, Alderuan only got his fist shaking, as they needed more attention to this matter to figure it out.

“As you know, all grains from the southern empire of Navapal to the northern empires go through the Tungka empire.”

The Navapal empire was the successor of the old southern empire. It was the first place where the continental war, fought by Emperor Alderuan, had started. And it was also the loser in the southern part of the continent.

“Is there a problem with the Tungka empire?”

“It was said that the empire of Tungka had suddenly charged tons of carriages.”

“It’s also the way to turn to the east.”

“The grains would be spoiled if they went to the dense forest of the east.”

Not all empires had as many wizards as this empire.

Therefore, it was pretty common for things to suddenly go wrong when one side of the trade route was blocked like in this situation.

“Duke, you need more information about the situation of the Tungka empire.”

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

With this sudden incident, Alderuan’s worries continued.

* * *
A few days later, unlike the serious people in the meeting, Siervian couldn’t calm down as she was really excited.

For her father was about to give her wings.

“Are you ready?”

“Yess!”

This is what they promised after her father didn’t allow to put transformation magic on his daughter when going into the city.

“Now then, brace yourself.”

The brilliant wizard did not only give her decorative wings.

Siervian’s body rose up at the same time glitter-like snow sparkled up her eyes.

“Ooh, Ahh…!”

A huge group of lights wrapped around Siervian, enough to temporarily cover her eyes.

Just like a typhoon swirling around the little girl.

After that, suddenly there were butterfly-like wings on her back.

“Wah…!”

Siervian slowly floated in the air.

She was a little scared of the land receding away, but then she felt something cozy was hugging behind her, so Siervian kept her eyes away from the ground.

She felt an illusion like she was approaching a snow mountain.

[ Alderuan Erveldote ]
Favorability: +100
Thoughts: I expected it, but it’s more fairy-like than I had imagined. Hmm, Should I look into whether some mana fairies secretly left Siervian behind? No, she’s the daughter of me and Aviche, but she indeed looks like a fairy.

‘My father is too.’

It was quite funny to think that Siervian thought she wouldn’t look too good.

This was because she was worried she would struggle flying and make herself look weird.

“Now I’ll move it.”

“Yes, eh! Ahh…!”

It was a good thing that her father only floated her outside the garden so that Siervian was out of sight.

Little by little, she hovered around the fountain as if she were flying like a real bird.

“Your Majesty… will you come back afterward?”

Hex approached as Siervian was flying around excitedly. The emperor most likely called him in advance.

“No, Siervian, let’s call it a day.”

Perhaps he was busy, that’s why the Emperor called the Chancellor.

She knew she couldn’t be too spoiled, but the feeling of her feet touching the ground saddened her.

“Huu.”

[ Alderuan Erveldote ]
Favorability: +100

[ Hex ]
Favorability: +50

Luckily, at Siervian’s little whining, her father promised a next time.

“Let’s play again soon.”

“Yes!”

She decided to be satisfied with this much today.

She doesn’t know if floating magic was difficult, but having such a fun experience made her want to learn it.

“Is there any more news on the rising cost of grain, Chancellor?”

“In many ways, it seems that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs was right.”

Now, Hex used to discuss important issues in front of the Princess very comfortably.

Because the Emperor always liked the Princess beside him, telling the Chancellor not to worry about it.

That’s how Siervian knew the important recent news.

“Hmm, the Emperor of Tungka suddenly… if he didn’t want it, why did he cause friction?”

“That’s right, the Emperor of Tungka and… Mmm, I couldn’t quite figure out what was going on so suddenly.”

“It’s not surprising that this happened after the war, but it’s not a coincidence.”

At the mention of the Tungka empire, Siervian, who was reaching out for the macarons, suddenly raised her head.

“You can eat it.”

“Okayy.”

She didn’t raise her head to ask for permission, but she replied subconsciously.

As she put the macarons to her mouth, Siervian felt trouble was coming.

‘It has begun. The bad deeds of Navapal, the southern empire.’

She then stared at the macaron, feeling guilty about eating such luxurious snacks.

After a few years, the empire will starve people because of food shortage.

It was also the reason why the food waste incident at the Princess’s palace had bothered her.

“What is the relationship between the Tungka and the Navapal empire?”

“They use each other’s roads as trade routes, but they are not very friendly with each other, which explains that this situation was unexpected.”

“Hmm.”

While contemplating the problem at hand, Alderuan caught something strange at the edge of his gaze.

Although she was sitting on the ground, Siervian still had magic wings on her back.

But suddenly, he saw the wings flapping slightly.

[ Alderuan Erveldote ]
Thoughts: Have I mistaken?

As Siervian saw her father’s thoughts, a quick question was also heard.

“By the way, Siervy. On your finger, is that a ring?”

Alderuan’s eyes were focused on the wings, but quickly switched to the small band on her finger.

Seeing it from his point of view, it was slightly shiny.

“Yes!”

The curious Siervian finally understood her father’s thoughts.

It was quite hard to see the thin ring.

So she held out her hand brightly in front of her father’s eyes and shouted.

“Karmen gwave it to me!”

At that moment, her father’s status window changed rapidly.

[ Alderuan Erveldote ]
Emotions: Extreme anger

Ah, it seemed that the father was very angry about this grain incident again.
