Baby Princess Through the Status Window - Chapter 78
“Ah, yes. Princess.”
The great wizard, Tanka, cries as he eats the chocolate pathetically.
Looking at it, Marco once again was lost in thought, but soon regained his senses to take out the documents the Princess ordered.
“I have it here, shall I read it for you?”
“Yes! Thank you.”
Marco rubbed the back of his head awkwardly, noticing that the little girl does not ever forget to give thanks every time; and so, he opened the documents.
“Just as Your Highness ordered, I secretly looked into the people who have harmin allergies.”
Siervian this time wanted to find out who are the people who have similar allergies.
The foundation was being established, the only thing she needed to do is think about the objectives.
One of them was to help those people suffering from it.
“Yes, yes. Continue.”
Siervian replied to Marco, pretending she couldn’t read words yet.
Marco cleared his throat with a small cough and started to report.
He hasn’t even realized yet that he was working like a henchman of the Princess but it’s certainly a higher level of a job compared to some nobles.
“For the past 50 years, there have been quite a few people who had similar allergies.”
“Really?”
Siervian knew it was a really rare phenomenon, so knowing there are even a few people with the same allergy is a new feeling.
“Firstly, with my family’s help, we could only identify 5 people with it.”
Viscount Willaim, Marco’s father, runs an upper division and he, of course, has information.
This was a great find since the only details given were the harmin allergy.
“What’s that?”
Tanka, who had been lying on the floor, finally stood up to look at the documents Marco was holding.
Despite the hassle, the wizard’s curiosity seemed to pile up.
Marco appeared to be uncomfortable but the Princess just watched them.
“You investigated the people having the harmin allergies?”
However, once Tanka pretended to know about the allergies, Siervian was startled.
[ Marco William ]
Thoughts: I thought he was a slacker, but the Princess sure was stunned by his knowledge.
No, this is the first time in his life hearing the harmin allergies.
But the truth is he didn’t want to do labor, so he joined the conversation.
“You know this, Tanka?”
“Yes, it sometimes appears in old books in the library. Hm, come to think of it, it isn’t mentioned in the latest books from the herbal section.”
It didn’t appear that he slept at all.
But Siervian somehow admired this. She took out another chocolate and handed it to Tanka.
Although he looked puzzled, he took the chocolate and packed it. It was like some reward from the owner to the pet.
“This is, hmm? The list here is strange.”
As Marco stumbled his words, Tanka took a peek at the reaction of the Princess.
Likewise, Marco opened his mouth, feeling uncomforting to finish his sentence.
“However, Princess. It turns out that all the people we found have passed away.”
“Wha-? All from allergies?”
Not everyone will be receiving mana the way Siervian has.
She has a mana-accumulating pendant her father made and it is not something that can be made day by day.
Marco then shook his head at her question.
“No, the cause of all deaths are accidents. Accidents that have nothing to do with mana sparsity or allergies.”
“…!”
She covered her mouth with those words as it gave her a subtle feeling.
She was touching dried petals a while ago, but the fragrant smell from her hands did not suit the situation.
“Though everyone received treatment from it?”
As her father said, the Duke took charge of treating people with the allergy.
Marco replied with a dark look on his face.
“It was investigated that they had been treated by the Duke until their accidental deaths.”
“Um…”
At the impression of the Duke, Tanka suddenly took a step back.
Like he has never seen such a document of some sort.
But Siervian was disinterested about it, all she noticed was Marco’s hesitance.
Marco was contemplating whether he should announce all of it to the Princess; but in the end…
“One of them went missing after going to the Duke for treatment. After that, the accident took place, it seemed that all of it was fabricated.”
“Ha…!”
Even Marco’s father was very concerned about the result of this investigation.
It appeared that this was some kind of conspiracy surrounding the Duke and the harmin tea.
But as for the Princess, this has different meanings.
And for Viscount William, it was quite a risk to take for this investigation while not being a part of both the aristocratic faction or the imperial faction.
[ Marco William ]
Thoughts: I suppose I did a good job convincing my father. Even us and the Viscount will not be able to be in neutrality forever.
The Viscount bended over to the strong insistence of the youngest son, who has been making a series of contributions lately.
He decided to abandon his uncertain attitude and actively join the imperial faction.
‘Marco must be very worried.’
But he did not reveal yet his true intentions to the Princess.
Like the most humble person.
Siervian didn’t expect this much from him, so she felt sorry for him to go this far.
“Thank you, Marco.”
“It’s nothing, Princess.”
He smiled at the stern expression of the little girl.
Looking at this risk-taker’s figure, she made a vow again.
‘I have to protect everyone.’
Concerning the harmin tea, she always had some problem with it.
However, to find out more about this situation, her ability is not enough for now.
Even in Viscount William’s power, having a considerable amount of information, has only found a clue.
‘I need to find more specialists.’
It was only Siervian who learned a lot from this.
And once she knows she lacks the ability, she can find someone who is better and leave them the job.
‘But this time, I can’t ask more of my father.’
She took a lot of her father’s time for this welfare foundation.
Hence, no more asking father.
‘Though there is only one more way.’
Then the face of the determined little Princess became full serious mode.
* * *
Shortly after, Siervian, still determined, contacted his brother.
“To the city with me?”
“Yes!”
Damien was always busy, but as soon as he got called by the Princess, he went to his sister’s Palace.
Hearing the unexpected event, he immediately opened his eyes wide.
“Why the city all of a sudden? Did you want to take a tour?”
Damien smiled and asked Siervian a barrage of questions to fulfill his curiosity.
‘How should I explain it to him? I don’t want to lieee.’
After much consideration, Siervian spoke seriously.
With her face full of shadows, full on serious mode.
“Please trust Sebi on this one. Sebi has something to do.”
“Uh-huh…”
[ Damien Erveldote ]
Favorability: +100
Thoughts: What should I do? Serious Siervian is also a cute one huh?
For Siervian, this was a serious and heavy atmosphere, but her brother saw it in colors.
To let him know that she was in a very serious state, Siervian put down the doll she was holding, and held her hands together.
[damien Erveldote ]
Thoughts: The rare serious Siervian, it’s so cute…! I’m very glad I finished work early.
It didn’t do much good.
“Okay, shall we go out and come back right away? Orrr, we sneak out at night?”
“No, Let’s go now!”
She didn’t want to go out at night, it’s dangerous. She’s from the world-famous imperial family leading a righteous life of course she wouldn’t go at night!
“…Okayy.”
He seemed to be expecting a great adventure of some sort; so he nodded lightly.
After so little disguise, the two were able to go out to the city.
‘I knew it, you have been out in the city secretly a lot!’
She trusted him since her brother had done much more activities outside, but it appeared he had been doing this much more than expected.
“Now, you’d better not take off this hat if you can. Siervian is too cute, people might crowd us, got it?”
“Yes!”
He prepared all of this without hesitation, nonstop.
A luxurious but inconspicuous cloak and a magic ring that changes the color of the eyes and hair.
And it would be suspicious if short children like them aren’t going to school, so they bought an escort with them.
“Let’s go.”
Damien is quite a bit of a city-goer.
He was only close to Karmen, who was also familiar with the city roads, and they sometimes walked around without an escort.
To counter the Emperor’s traveling magic circle, they went out of the palace in a unique wagon.
“Where shall we go? You have been to the city with your father the Emperor, haven’t you?”
“Yes! I have.”
Damien asked for the destination, passing through the south gate to the capital.
Siervian had her head agonized recollecting the words.
At this time, the person she is looking for is definitely…
“Go to the aristocratic business district with Sebi.”
“Business district?”
“Yes!”
Usually it was common for the Imperial family to go to the common people’s area if they secretly went to the city.
She was curious about the lives of the commoners, and there are so many people from the district who will recognize their faces.
Knowing that, Damien followed Siervian’s words to order the escort.
‘I’m certain you’ll think it’s weird.’
The place Siervian was trying to visit was none other than an information guild.
The problem is that it would seem very unnatural for Siervian, who has lived in the Princess Palace all her life, to know the existence of an information guild.
“Is there anything you want to buy in the district?”
Siervian shook his head at the speculation of her smart big brother.
“In truth, I am looking for an information guild named justice.”
“…information guild?”
