I’m the Main Character’s Child - Chapter 28
“Yes, Princess…… You look a lot like your mother.”
‘You’re jealous of the child, aren’t you.’
She was relieved to give Mogris a shot of her own medicine for trying to bring Reina and me down.
“Let’s stop standing and go sit down.”
Nine Mogris led her to the tea table where various desserts were prepared.
“I don’t know what the princess likes, so I prepared a variety of things. Just relax and eat.”
On a small tea table, there are dense fruit cakes, colorful cookies, and animal shaped candies…….
“Thank you for your kindness.”
“haha, because I wanted to have tea and talk with the princess like my own daughter.”
She took a sip of the tea in front of her as she glanced at me with a leisurely smile, emphasizing the word daughter.
‘Who looks at their daughter like that?’
“Haha…….”
Nine Mogris let out a meaningless laugh as if embarrassed by her lukewarm reaction.
It seemed that she wanted her to respond in the passage where she said she was like her daughter.
‘It’s too obvious.’
It was a big mistake for Nine Mogris to think that she was a child who knew nothing.
She never intended to give Nine Mogris any link to Cardin.
“Eat well. Think of this place like your own home and be at ease.”
She looked at Emiliette without batting an eyelash.
In the meantime, she was angry because the snacks were so delicious. A child’s sense of taste was tactless.
She smiled every time their eyes met.
Since I’m a six-year-old girl, do you think I would easily fall because of food?
“Why don’t you drink tea at the Imperial Palace from time to time?”
Nine Mogris’s hand reached over her head.
Tak~
Mogris’s hand, which was heading towards her head, was intercepted by Elvin.
“What… are you doing? Sir.”
Mogris’ lips twitched. She seems to be on the verge of saying harsh words, but barely holding it back because Emiliette is in front of her.
Nine Mogris glanced at her and smiled again.
“I’m sorry, Your Majesty, for I cannot disobey the duke’s orders.”
“…… ha, yes What kind of order is it?”
Mogris smirked and looked at Elvin with sharp eyes.
“I have been commanded not to let anyone touch the princess’ body, even the tip of her finger. I would like to express my apologies and hope for the deep generosity of Her Majesty the Empress.”
“…….”
Elvin’s personality is no joke either. He smiled gently and scratched Mogris’s temper.
‘But Elvin…… Can’t you see those burning eyes?’
“…….I see. It’s Cardin’s order, so I’ll let it go.”
Nine Mogris, who mentioned Cardin’s name in a friendly tone, sips her tea and wet her throat.
His fingers were pale as he held the teacup so hard.
“Mother. Did you call?”
It was around that time that a boy’s voice resonated in the tense garden.
“Prince! Welcome!”
Nine Mogris sprang up from her seat and approached the boy.
The silence that had just fallen was shattered by the boy’s appearance.
“Hehe, I heard mother called me, so I ran right away during swordsmanship practice.”
“Take a rest every once in a while so you won’t get hurt.”
“I don’t want to disappoint you, Mother…….”
“Prince…”
The voice of Nine Mogris was filled with emotion. It was a tearful reunion.
“Having a friend the same age as you is a good idea. Say hello to Princess Emeliette of Duke Bardion.”
“Hehe, yes!”
The figure of the boy that had been hidden behind Mogris’ body was finally revealed.
“…….. “
Her eyes met the boy’s.
She saw the smiling boy’s face harden like a stone. At the same she also lost the strength in her hand holding the cookie and dropped it on the floor.
The boy who was called the prince looked exactly the same as Nine Mogris.
A boy with red hair mixed with a little gold and red eyes that somehow resembles Nine Mogris, even a stranger could tell that they are related by blood.
But the reason why she was surprised was not because the child’s eyes were red.
She never thought she’d see the rude aristocratic kid here again who she ran into at the Vinset Square.
“Oh my, are you doing this because you are shy?”
As they stared at each other, Nine Mogris pushed the little boy’s back and made it come towards her.
‘No, it’s not like that. Can’t you see his eyes burning?’
“It’s an honor to meet you… Princess Bardion. I’m Neinster Fell Dandelkius.”
“me too… … It is an honor to meet you, I’m Emeliette Bardion.”
“You two look so good together,”
Loud applause echoed in the rose garden.
Nine Mogris clapped her hands exaggeratedly, and pushed Emiliette and the prince together whenever she had the chance.
Emiliette made a smiling face with her molars clenched tight. The boy across from her looked no different from her.
“Mother, may I show Princess Bardion the flower bed over there?”
“That’s a good idea! As expected of my son……. He’s very generous. He is indeed going to be the next emperor.”
The little prince, Neinster, pointed to a small flower bed a little far from the tea table.
“I’d like to talk to you for a moment, sir.”
Mogris summoned Elvin, who was about to follow Emiliette.
“I’m sorry, but I have to follow the orders of the duke and stay by the princess’s side…….”
“You can see enough here. And will anything happen inside the Empress’s Palace?”
“……..”
Elvin had no reason to disobey the Empress any longer.
As Nine Mogris said, the flower bed was a short distance from the tea table, and further refusal to do so was likely to lead to blasphemy against the imperial family.
“Elvin, I’m fine.”
“…. all right.”
At that time, Elvin took a seat near the table where the flower bed was the best view.
Behind Elvin, she saw Mogris with a subtle victor’s smile.
When their eyes met, she smiled and waved her hand gently.
“Go and see the garden with the prince. There are so many things to see that it will be interesting.”
“Let’s go, princess,”
The mother and son were like working together. The little prince, in particular, had a slight twitch in his eyes and mouth over his innocent smiling face.
She was curious about how long the little boy would be pretending, so she decided to agree.
“Yes, I’m really looking forward to it.”
She smiled at him and moved to the flower bed he pointed.
When they arrived at the flower bed attached to the rose garden, she saw small buds that seemed to be just starting to sprout.
‘What kind of plant is this, that you planted separately?’
The small sprouts had five small leaves. She was interested because it looked similar to a four-leaf clover.
Before she knew it, she forgot the existence of the little boy next to her and was busy looking at the leaves in detail.
“You’re rude.”
The voice of the little boy, who spit out a hoarse laugh, was heard softly.
Turning her head, the kid looked at her with his blazing eyes and smiling face like a ventriloquist.
“I agree with you. I was wondering who taught me that habit.”
“…are you done? You really want to die, don’t you?”
She shrugged her shoulders once she saw the little boy uttering grim words unsuitable for his age.
“Don’t make me tired for nothing. That would be good for each other.”
It was sad to see a little boy who seemed to be so full of himself.
“Ha. You’re the daughter of Duke Cardin? An insignificant thing like you”
I knew this would happen.
Standing with his back to the table, Neinster took off his pretentious smile and spoke, looking up and down at her in an insolent manner she had seen at the square before.
She was curious about who his parents were, but she didn’t want to see them in person.
“Yes. That’s right. I didn’t even know that a kid like you was a member of the royal family.”
“What is this… … … ! Are you not speaking properly? I’m part of the imperial family!”
Neinster tried to raise his voice, then glanced behind him and lowered it again.
“Why should I do it when you don’t do it? If you don’t like it, you can go over there and tell them I spoke informally to you.”
Neinster, breathed heavily at her words, and looked at her with fierce eyes as if he wanted to kill her.
“I can’t believe you’re the daughter of the Duke of Bardion. I can’t accept this.”
“Hmm….”
From what she has heard, Neinster, this little fellow, seemed to have a considerable liking for Cardin.
“Just accept it. I’m his daughter.”
“…….”
She shrugged her shoulders lightly and bent her knees to see the sprouts on the floor.
It was quite cute that the leaves were split into five parts like a four-leaf clover.
“…… Because of you, I….”
Neinster kept murmuring. She could see him clenching his fist tightly.
It looked like he was going to hit her.
It was already clear how the child would be when he grows up.
I can’t believe such a child is from a royal family. Isn’t he also a candidate for succession?
‘Is there any other royal family besides him?’
I’m really worried about the future of the empire. I’ll have to ask Elvin later.
“There are two things that annoys me but I can only hit one.”
Neinster sat down with her and smashed the ants passing by the flower bed with his hand and continued talking.
“Don’t climb up, or I’ll make you look just like that child.”
She had goosebumps from his brutal behavior.
It wasn’t because of fear. The goosebumps arose after seeing his cruel actions and words in the form of a child.
