I Grabbed the Tyrant’s Heart - Chapter 15
“Euel.”
After that, I couldn’t see Tess again for a while, and I was very concerned that I couldn’t see Tess unlike before.
Father said Tess was fine. Then he would have to come see me, but I felt really strange because there was no news.
It felt empty because there is no one who has always been with me.
“Dad’s here!”
My father, who could not return home because of a natural disaster in the border region, an attack from the Southern Empire, and the monsters running wild, showed his face after a long time.
In broad daylight.
Normally it was just annoying, but today, I didn’t know why I was so happy, so I ran and hugged him.
“Oh my, sniff. Dad is huuff.”
“Millen, please refrain from making pathetic expressions in front of Euel.”
“But it’s the first time Euel has greeted me like this.”
“Even when I see it, it’s pathetic, so stop. Millen, you have to go back to the palace in the evening, right?”
“Oh my. That’s right.”
After the three of us ate together after a long time, we even had a lavish tea time in the parlor.
What are they trying to talk about? Did Tess tell him to bring me?
“Euel, my daughter.”
“Ciel, Euel is also my daughter.”
As Mother stared at him, Father immediately put his hands together and bowed his head.
“Euel, come here.”
Mother beckoned to me sitting across from her, and as I approached she cupped my cheeks and smiled.
“I have a story to tell you.”
“What is it?”
The two who looked at each other then smiled at me mysteriously. It was Mother who opened her mouth.
“Here, put your hand here.”
She grabbed my hand and put it against her belly as she spoke.
“Euel will soon have a younger sibling.”
“Sibling…….”
“Yes, a sibling. Euel, do you know how a younger sibling is born?”
Suddenly, Father intervened.
“Yes, a younger sibling is a gift.”
“If you’re going to tell me that a bird came with a basket with a baby, then stop. It means that Mother is pregnant now. Pregnancy is when a male father and a female mother physically—”
“AAAHHH. I can see you understand correctly.”
Father who rarely shut his mouth and moaned, blushing his ears.
“You know it well, Eurel. Soon a very small baby will be born.”
I didn’t know because Mother always wore loose-fitting clothes, but when I touched it, her belly was more protruding than expected.
“How many months is it?”
Unlike Father, who was surprised that I knew this, Mother smiled as usual.
“It is now the sixth month.”
“Already?”
“Fufu, yes. Unlike humans, elves do not have morning sickness, and their stomachs get full after a month or two. Euel didn’t even know?”
“Yes. It’s really amazing. congratulations.”
It’s been a long time since I’ve been able to smile from my heart.
This doesn’t change my determination to leave for the world of my previous life if given the opportunity. Even at this very moment, my stomach was tingling and I was reminded of my younger sibling who was in the other world.
But in this house, I was the only heir, and this part used to hold me back. Now that I have a younger sibling, I don’t have to worry about that part, right?
– Did you see it? Those unpleasant eyes.
– It’s disgusting to see a child making that kind of expression.
The employee’s gossips often pierced my ears. Especially when I was young, there were times when they talked openly as they thought I couldn’t hear them.
Just because I had lived once doesn’t mean I was insensitive to hurtful things.
I pretended I didn’t hear them when I couldn’t speak properly.
And really, because I think of myself as weird too. It’s really strange to be able to remember a past life that I had never even heard about.
“Euel.”
But this friendly couple first found those who slandered me,
“Although this child is also Mom and Dad’s child.”
They hugged and whispered to the infant-me, who would not be able to speak properly.
“It’s also Yuel’s younger sibling.”
Our dear daughter, we love you the most in the world.
So I always feel like I owe these people. Pretending to be six years old, pretending to get along with other people is only for these people.
“So, congratulations to Euel too.”
The twinkling dark green eyes looked at me and smiled. Inside, I have a strange expression. I feel like crying while laughing.
Barely, I cleared my neck and answered them.
“… Yes, thank you.”
“So Euel, let’s sleep with Mom and Dad from today!”
The emotion dried up immediately. I wanted to say no, but after I found out about my younger sibling’s existence, I couldn’t.
It’s obvious why they want to sleep with me.
– The Miss cried out for help…….
– Oh My God. May, what else did Euel say?
– She grabbed her stomach and cried all the time. She said Mom, it hurts, it hurts… and was suffocating so I woke her up. But the next day, she couldn’t remember.
I found out about the nightmares I used to have because of the memories of my past life that bothered me. When I sleep with my parents, I can’t even sleep properly for fear of being caught having nightmares.
However, it’s been a few days since I shared the same room with my parents as they blatantly insisted that we sleep together.
“Why does Euel have to go there?”
“But Ciel, that’s only because—”
“No. Still, I didn’t like Euel going to that dark and gloomy place. I can’t let her go.”
“… But, Ciel. If you see that the Crown Prince has changed—”
“What?”
I opened my eyes at the two’s whispering voices.
“Is this about me? Should I go to the Imperial Palace?”
“Ah, that.”
Looking at my weak hearted Father, he was at a loss for what to do and swept his face.
“Euel, you look at me with the same eyes as your mom. Oh, what I mean is. His Majesty wants to see you–”
“Millen.”
“But Ciel, when Euel looks at me, my mouth moves without me knowing, so there’s nothing I can do about it.”
“It has something to do with Te, no, the Crown Prince.”
Father flinched again at my decisive tone. He took a deep breath, and he was so agitated that I could see it clearly in the dark. He shook his head left and right. Was he looking at Mother or me?
As I continued to look, Father responded in resignation.
“Yes, Euel. Because of the Crown Prince, the Emperor wants to see you.”
“I will go.”
“Euel, no.”
I was sure because of Mother’s resolute refusal.
An ominous thing that has haunted me for a while. The cause lies right here.
“Something happened to the Crown Prince, right?”
There’s no way that child wouldn’t come to see me. No matter what happens, he will surely come to see me, so there’s no way he could give no news like this.
I had sent a letter to the Imperial Palace to go see Tess. However, I was rejected and we haven’t seen each other since.
Maybe it’s possible to separate with Tess, something I have always wanted.
“I’m going to see him.”
And yet, my mouth says I will go to see the child.
Tess is a reality for me, just as I always promise to leave this place, but to dismiss it as a dream, while I still think of these people as my parents.
That punk who had trespassed the lines and held me tight, yet dare not show his face now? Then I have to go and scold him.
“I’m going to the Imperial Palace.”
“My Euel.”
Whispering sadly, Mother hugged me. It was so rare that she, who was always calm, showed her feelings like this, so I was surprised.
After a while, Mother, who had put me down, spoke to Father in her usual tone.
“Millen, I will go with you.”
Father just nodded his head.
After that, things went very quickly. The next day, Father went to the palace and left the palace after work, and he told me that the Emperor’s permission had been given.
And the next day, my parents and I headed to the Emperor’s residence, Hill Palace.
