It's been a year since I started living in this luxury palace.
And all those years, I didn't do anything except acting cute.
That ruthless emperor will always either give me a food or toy. Sometimes he'll even call me to his palace to make fun of me.
Oh well, it's better that way. At least, he didn't tried to kill nanny and me.
That is enough for me. What's important is to live another day.
Oh, I forgot!!
This palace's name is Blein. It was named after the wife of the first emperor.
Well, I don't really care about stuff like that but I heard it while the maids are talking.
You know, maids love gossiping with each other and they're not wary of me cause I am just a child
"Princess. His majesty is coming"
Again?
Does he feel happy and fulfilled every time he's torturing me?
Ah, this is annoying but of course, despite of how I am feeling, I have to endure it just to save this villainess
"Hellow daddi Haws yow dey?"
[Hello daddy. How's your day?]
I gracefully bow down as I speak those greeting. Last year after started living here, he sent a teacher to teach me some palace etiquette.
".."
'As always, no response from him'
"Daddi ken ay hawb a kandi---"
[Daddy!!! Can I have some candie---]I was about to ask him for candies to eat them but I suddenly feel dizzy
'What is happening to me?'
Mys urrounding is moving circularly and my head felt heavy
'I wanna sleep. Maybe he won't kill me if I sleep a bit right??
"Princess!!"
"Call the doctor now!!"
Niña's POV
[Princess's Nanny]We were so surprised when the princess suddenly fainted. But the doctor said that it's just a simple cold. So we just need to let her rest and take medicine for her to get better
From the time that the princess fainted, the emperor stayed silent and stayed at the bed along with the princess.
I don't know what it is that he's thinking but I know he's worried about his daughter too just like us.
'Please princess be well. I don't wanna see you like that. I don't want to
Please get better
After several hours of waiting for princess's consciousness,
"Umm Daddi is that yuw"
[Um daddy is that you?]She finally woke up
I was startled when I heard her adorable voice again.
She's awake now!!
Seeing how his eyes circled, the emperor seems shocked too
"Yes, it is me. Your daddy"
The princess smiled and she held his hand out of happiness
The emperor speaks softly that I even forgot how cruel he is.
I wanna cry. I never thought that they'll have a good relationship like this
I think he loves his daughter more than anyone else
I'm glad princess.
Your father is slowly opening his heart to you. Maybe someday you won't need me anymore
"It's rilliw yu daddy"
[It's really you daddy]"Yeah"
"ay lab yuu so much. Bwat daddi ken I slip mow? "
[I love you so much. But daddy can I sleep more?]"You can"
The princess slept again while holding his father's hand. I'm so happy for you
Few months after I found that book, I realized how much time I had wasted before having a relationship with Calix but now, it no longer matter as we are about to get married already. Of course, this is a national wedding since it involves me, the crown princess. 'Finally, we're getting married' Just a month ago, I felt so bad to my lady in waiting and dad's aide because of how busy they had become due to to my wedding but I can't just help but apologize because I myself is well aware that I need their help because if not, I won't be able to get married to Calix. I was still being prepared by so much people while Calix is already at the biggest church of the empire. Usually, Imperial princess like me is required to get married at the Palace but I tried to convince my father to just let me have a normal but expensive and great wedding in the biggest church in the Empire. Luckily, both him and Calix didn't had a problem with this issue and and instead, they just
Today, I came to the library to put back all the books that I got to study how to rule the empire but since it is no longer needed by me, I decided to finally put these things back. There, I asked my lady in waiting and maids to put the books where it is places last time.while I just reminisced a bit. I had a lot of memory in this place actually. Whenever I felt like I don't know about something, I will always struve hard to find out what I needed to know using this big library. Somehow, it feels amazing to be back here.Calix is currently not here as he went to go to their duchy since there was an emergency. He was even getying mad while hearing the words from a knight drom the duchy and I fekt bad for his aide so i just asked him to go for now since I had to do some things as well like this.There, I walked through in between of two big shelf and looked through books. As I was doing that, I saw how many times I spent in here as most of the books here are familiar wit
"Lalaine? Why are you spacing out?" Calix askes a she look at my face Coming back to my senses, I looked around me again and the office that I've seen a while ago is now long gone. We are now walkimg to the hallway while I am thinkim gof what had happened last time. It seems like he noticed how I spaced out while walking as he held both of my shoulder and gently shook it. "Hey? Are you alright?" he asked again and looked closely to me. Of course, as soon as I felt the knights eyes, I immediately smiled at him brightly saying that it's fine. It's just then that he cakmed down he must have been so worried that he acted a little rough I think today is the right time to give him the answer that he needs to hear "Calix, should we go and stroll to the garden. I just want to have a breathe of mind" I said as I look outside. Since we're at the second floor of the main palace, we can overlook the garden from here properly Noticing my mood, he wrapp
"It's not like I don't want you to be the next empress and ruler of this empire because I knew very well that you are a competent person so I'd like you to heat me out first before puttinf that kind of expression in your face. It feels like I betrayed you" Dad said'But really.. Why?'Not like I am sad about it because honestly, that job is too burdensome for me as well. Aristocrats fughts and succesions right. Those are just too tiring for me to even do but it's juat too sudden for me so I don't know how am I supposed to react. Hearing his words, I tried to think more but when I saw that he's still staring at my face,I cleared my face and mind while I give my full attention to what he's about to say."You know, since both of you are now grown up and I know sooner or later, you will get married. I figured out that it'll be hard for you ti managed the duchy as the dychess and the whole empire so K decided to delay it for now and wait until.you final
As I was thinking what she meant about it, a knight called me from the outside of my room"Your highness, his majesty is aaking you to come to his office" and so, after hearing the knight speak, I immediately moved to stand. As you know, I have been worrying for a lot of minutes now and I felt like if I don't go now, I'll definiteky die wonderng what is the reason of their so ling talk.There, I bid goodbye to.my lady in waiting whom I didn't has a long talk with and immediately got escorted by a knight towards dad's office.

Before finalky entering, I tried to eavesdrop first to hear some talk inaide byt i didn't heard any and the knigts aroynd also looked at me strangely. They are pribabKy wondering qhy I am acting like this so I withdrew my head from the door.and fixed myself. It will be bad if my dignity got ruined here. I even made that for year
