Baby Princess Through the Status Window - Chapter 61

Chapter 61

Siervian was returning to the palace, fiddling with the ring.

But the solidity of the ring reminded her of the Emperor’s thoughts again.

‘You can trust Karmen, but you don’t know him yet.’

Even while extremely angry about the grain incident, her father unexpectedly took a great interest in her ring for some unknown reason.

After an inspection that took seemingly forever, magic was put into it.

Perhaps he was worried.

‘The grain incident will only get worse in the future, what should I do?’

And with those uneasy thoughts, Siervian was unable to return to the Imperial Palace.

“Are you going to take a walk, Princess?”

“Yes!”

Siervian then bravely set off on a path she did not usually take.

So she roamed around the Imperial Palace carefully.

[ Ellie ]
Thoughts: This is your first time in the garden of the Lord of the magic tower. Huhuhu, I love how every time the Princess walks there’s a ppo dyap, ppo dyap sound.

It doesn’t sound like that!

Siervian took her eyes off Ellie’s status window and was lost in deep thought.

During this period, the Navapal empire’s excuses for raising grain prices varied.

Difficult to sell to other countries because the level of crops was not enough even in a prosperous year, difficult to get in the trade routes due to the disturbance of the Tungka empire, et cetera.

‘But it was all a lie.’

Surprisingly, the empire of Tungka was actually in collusion with the Navapal empire.

Before the trade route arrangement, the two empires were not on good terms so it started a small war.

But it was revealed years later that the local war was all made up.

‘Now it’s the raising of grain prices…’

The Navapal empire will gradually demand higher prices in exchange for grain. The process of it was not known, but the empire was shaken a lot by that trick.

‘Come to think of it, why didn’t the empire import grain from elsewhere?’

The Navapal empire was not only the empire that has wide plains on the continent, but it indeed was strange.

At any rate, when she was twelve years old, it became difficult for the people in the slums to get food.

Of course, the nobles did not starve.

“Aren’t you the Princess, no?”

The Lord of the magic tower suddenly appeared.

As Ellie had thought, Siervian was getting close to the wizard’s garden.

“Gweetings.”

In respect of the brilliant lord, Siervian greeted politely.

With a bright smile on his face, the Lord of the magic tower stopped on his way and approached Siervian.

“Are you here to see this old man? To learn some magic?”

The Lord’s eyes shone like a curious child’s as he bent one knee to match his eye level to Siervian’s.

They had only met a few times, but the Lord boasted high empathy.

And it was surprising that he not only showed a lot of affinities every time they met but also secretly urged Siervian to learn magic quickly.

“Ungh. Sebi can’t.”

At that minute, as soon as she saw the Lord, great explosive thoughts came into his status window.

“Then why are you walking so excitedly here in the garden, Princess?”

The expression in the Lord’s thoughts revealed the feeling of dying to the cuteness of Siervian.

One time he met Siervian, and as he avoided her father’s eyes, he eggs her to learn magic early. Saying it would be fun.

[ Turana Ellison ]
Thoughts: You look so worried at such a young age, how cute. Why aren’t you interested in learning magic? That’s strange.

Siervian knew it wouldn’t work out anyway, so she rejected the offer immediately, but it strangely seemed to stimulate the wizard’s curiosity more.

“Well, Sebi heawd something sad earlier.”

“Oh, who made the Princess sad? This old man will scold them all.”

Siervian took a glance at the Lord of the magic tower, and carefully chose to go on with the conversation.

Using words that the Lord can interpret freely, and words that wouldn’t make him suspicious of her father.

“That’s because people keep saying that food is getting expwensive.”

“Hmm? Rice… I…heard there was news like that. Did you hear it while passing by?”

Seeing it from another perspective, it was not something a child should be aware of, so there was an odd little expression from the Lord.

But Siervian let out a sigh and held one of her cheeks to let him know that she was really upset about it.

This was the imitation of when Jane was deeply concerned about something.

“I heard the empiwes didn’t get along well because of the delivewy. That’s why rice is expensive.”

“Ho ho, I see.”

“But I’m not sure if it’s twue or not.”

And to show that she was genuine about it, Siervian posed thoughtfully by changing hands.

[ Turana Ellison ]
Thoughts: Ho ho. How can someone be so concerned and cute? His Majesty gave birth to a beautiful daughter.

Watching the smooth rise of the favorability, Siervian swallowed.

“You’ll learn it little by little, Your Highness, and making up the story of the empires is not easy.”

“But why is the gwain still coming when they awen’t getting along?”

“That’s, hmm…”

In fact, the Navapal empire was using that trade route to improve its relations with the Tungka empire.

And it was also true that the route was the fastest way to this empire.

The Lord of the magic tower hesitated because the Princess might be too young for complex reasons.

“Our people need to eat. Sebi thinks it’s good to fix the pwoblem.”

However, with those wise words, the Lord couldn’t help but nod.

Because the most important issue in the barren North was indeed food supply.

[ Turana Ellison ]
Thoughts: Hmm, you should get in touch with…

Siervian cheered inwardly as the wizard’s thoughts seemed to have tilted.

But, instead of putting a hand to her cheek, both hands went to each.

“The south is at the end of the continent. So it’s really really far away! That’s why it’s hard to investigate.”

Now, she didn’t talk about magic communication.

“Ho ho. If that’s the case, I can solve it.”

“Weally?”

Fortunately, the Lord of the magic tower seemed to have had the same idea.

‘Now!’

Unable to miss this opportunity, Siervian quickly reached out.

She had to use the very powerful trick that kept words once uttered.

“Promise Sebi!”

“Ho, ho ho, ho ho ho.”

Looking at the tiny little finger sticking out in front of him, the Lord burst into laughter.

He held out a finger, barely holding back a laugh.

And it was Siervian who twisted her pinky tightly and even shook it up and down vigorously. As if acting on his promise is a must.

[ Turana Ellison ]
Thoughts: I’ll have to work hard to find out. Karmen, with the way things are going, that punk will have a taste for teaching.

Looking at his thoughts, Siervian could see that their promise would be kept.

The next time she meets Karmen again, she promised to let him know that the Lord of the magic tower likes to make pinky promises.

‘Will this work?’

Siervian was then very tired on her way back to the Princess’ Palace after her small talk with the Lord. It seemed the continuous sudden troubles tired her out.

Even in her previous life, it was the Lord of the magic tower, who, though late, found out that the small war between the Tungka empire and the Navapal empire was fake.

If he could pull it up a little bit, a lot would be different.

‘I hope it goes well.’

“You have worked hard on this one.”

“I just did what I had to do, Father.”

The Crown Prince was very busy looking for the children kidnapped on the continent.

To save the children who were enticed and sold by the wizard Antonio.

The Crown Prince had found some of them this time and visited the Emperor for his report.

“You infiltrated the place under the disguise of a kid being sold.”

“It wasn’t very difficult.”

He was a Prince who possessed excellent magic skills at such a young age.

Karmen, who possesses the terrible talent, is chasing after him, although he had already been excellent enough to protect his own body.

“Taking care of the Imperial people in the position of the Crown Prince is honorable.”

That was what he said, but Alderuan’s tone was very strict.

“But as a father, this was unacceptable. You did something dangerous.”

“… I apologize for having you concerned. I was in a hurry to track the children. Because I trusted the skills of the escort knights, I took bold actions.”

“You’ve come back safely, so that’s enough. I’m sure you have learned something this time.”

“Yes, Father.”

The Emperor looked at the Crown Prince bowing his head and stretched out his hand.

And he patted his son’s head as if he were patting Siervian’s.

“…”

Although he was silent as he was not used to it, the Crown Prince quickly blushed to his ears.

“Your Majesty, the Lord of the magic tower has entered the palace.”

Even though the Lord knew that the Emperor was talking to the Crown Prince alone, he seemed to have applied for an audience. Alderuan, who was curious about the fact, brought in the Lord.

But at the same time, he couldn’t help but get angry.

“What did you want to report, Lord of the magic tower?”

Next to him, the Prince also seriously frowned and listened to his teacher.

“There was something odd about the small war that happened a few years ago in the Tungka empire.”

“What do you mean by that exactly, about the war being odd?”

When he entered the palace in a hurry, the Lord carefully drank the tea served by the Chamberlain.

With a puzzled frown, he repeated the news that was just said.

“Didn’t the Navapal empire end up fighting a small war with the Tungka empire over foreign affairs?”

“Yes.”

The Lord of the magic tower did not originally resort to communication magic in anticipation of this kind of news.

“I contacted the stepping stones to ask about the trade route.”

There was a magic tower in the Northern Empire.

The tallest mountain-like tower in the north was like the cradle of brilliant wizards.

“Did you find a problem?”

However, not all the wizards on the continent could study in the tower. This was because, since ancient times, the tower had been somewhat exclusive to those small numbers of elite wizards.

So what was created was a mana’s stepping stone located in the center of the continent.

“Yes, I have gotten the clue needed for the trade route problem.”
