I’m the Main Character’s Child - Chapter 27

[How can you hear us?]

“Well, I don’t know. I just hear you.”

[I see… Then what’s your name?]

“Emeliette, call me Liel.”

[Yes. Liel, where are we now?]

Perhaps the tension has eased, the Merket, who regained its energy, could not control its overflowing curiosity and continued to asked questions.

[Even though she’s like that, she’s a high-ranking human being]

[Gasp. Really? That’s amazing.]

As Merket went from one to two, it became even more noisy. At this point, I thought I should give a name to the Merkets.

“Do you have any names?”

[No, we don’t have that]

[Give is to us! Our name!]

“Well,”

I can’t believe you left your name to me. It was a very difficult task.

“Well, then…”

One is talkative, and the other is quiet.

“Sudar and Johnny. What do you think?”

[Oh my god]

[Cool!]

They waved their buds side by side as if dancing.

I guess they liked their names so much.

“From now on, you are Sudar and you’re Johnny.”

[I am Sudar!]

[I’m Johnny! Hehe……….]

“I’m glad you like it.”

Now Sudar and Johnny were busy talking to each other.

Half of the conversations were just laughing at each other’s names.

If I only knew they would like it that much, I would have named them sooner.

knock, knock.

“Dinner is ready, Princess.”

“I’ll be back after dinner,”

Leaving the excited Sudar and Johnny behind, I went to the restaurant where Cardin was.

“I guess you like that flower so much.”

“Well, they are cute.”

As soon as I entered the restaurant, Cardin’s grumpy face greeted me.

“But Papa is my favorite.”

“……. “

Take it. My strike.

Cardin was frozen for a moment.

“Am I the best for Papa?”

“Just eat your meal,”

“Hmm,”

His face remained expressionless, but I could see that Cardin was very embarrassed by the way he picks up the tableware.

I decided to just quietly pretend I didn’t notice how he cut the meat with two forks.

“The way you controlled your mana improve a lot.”

“Hehe, That’s right!”

I couldn’t hide my proud smile while looking at the wooden doll dancing in front of me.

I told to Teacher Teto that I will work hard. And this is the results of my practice during my spare time.

How much have I practiced to make it move so smoothly and flexibly?

Despite the ridicule of Cardin and the Merket, I didn’t give up.

A high level of concentration was needed to make the doll moved. It will immediately penetrate the ceiling when the concentration was disrupted even a little.

Teacher Teto explained that it was because the amount of mana in my body was large.

It has the same principle as the moment a small hole was formed in a dam containing vast amounts of water, the water will leak through the hole with tremendous pressure.

“Now that you have learned most of the basic theories of mana, I think we can start practicing magic next time.”

“The real thing?”

“Yes. Like this.”

A group of lights poured out of Teacher Teto’s fingertips.

It was flying around me like a firefly.

I poked the group of lights that came near me with my hand but it flew away quickly to the opposite direction.

“I’ll teach how to used real magic next time.”

“Yes, sir! I can’t wait to learn.”

“You have to practice controlling your mana until the next class, okay?”

“Well, of course, I’ll do my best.”

I am finally going to learn magic.

Mr. Teto smiled pleasantly at me.

After the lesson, I approached Elvin, who was waiting outside the door.

“Elvin!”

“I guess you’re done with your lesson. You look very happy.”

I wasn’t able to hide my joyful feelings.

I chatted with Elvin, who was now my exclusive escort, as we go to the carriage.

When I was excitedly bragging about the magic power I was going to learn in the next class, I stopped at the sound of someone calling me from behind.

“Hello. My name is Jenna, I am the Empress’ maid.”

As I turned my head, I saw a woman in a black turtle neck dress.

“I am honored to meet Princess Emeliette Bardion. Her Majesty wants to see Princess Bardion.”

‘Nine Mogris wants to meet me?’

“I’m sorry, but the Princess have a schedule to attend to.”

A huge shadow fell before my eyes.

Elvin stood in front of me and spoke in a determined voice, it was as cold as ice.

I couldn’t see Elvin’s face, but I think his expression is also cold as ice.

“I know that after Princess Bardion’s training at the tower she will be heading to the duchy immediately.”

‘What? Have you been watching me?’

The empress’s maid, who knew exactly schedule is, looked at me.

The moment our eyes met; the maid’s face turned into a caring sister.

“Her Majesty wants to speak with the Princess for a while and have some very delicious snacks.”

Jenna, the maid, spoke with a gentle voice and a smile.

Since the moment I saw her, she has been smiling softly at me, but I couldn’t shake of the uneasy feeling.

She looked like someone who is wearing a mask.

Why does the Empress, Nine Mogris, want to see me?

One thing is certain: It’s because I am the daughter of Cardin.

As Cardin said, he knew how tenacious Nine Mogris is.

Therefore, it was clear that even if I refused to me her now, we would still meet again someday.

‘But I don’t think it’s right to meet him without Cardin.’

Nine Mogris is a person who will never like me.

“I’m afraid…”

I was about to say no.

“You’ve got something on your skirt, Princess, I’ll take it off for you.”

Jenna suddenly approached me with an exaggerated gesture. I looked down at my skirt, but then I heard a calm voice near my ear.

“If you refuse His Majesty’s orders, the Duke of Bardion will be in trouble. Why don’t you come with me?”

Unlike her careful touch on the hem of my skirt, her tone was hard as she threatened me.

‘As expected, you had a trick.’

I was deeply disgusted by Jenna, who dared to threaten me. Did you think I’d be scared if you threatened me like that?

When I looked at Jenna, I could only laugh.

After much consideration, I decided to meet Mogris.

“Yes. Let’s go.”

“Princess!”

The had a different reaction from my answer.

“Thank you for your generosity, Princess.”

Jenna, the maid, bowed her head as if in a good mood and expressed her gratitude.

“What are we going to do with your schedule? It’s very important.”

As soon as my answer was heard. Elvin bent his knees and met me at eye level, showing off his flashy eyebrow waves, telling me about my schedule that doesn’t even exist.

‘I’m sorry, Elvin, I understand what you mean, but I’ll have to see Nine Mogris today, so she won’t bother md again. I’m in the Imperial Palace anyway. What’s going to happen?’

“I’m fine, Elvin,”

I carefully placed on hand on Elvin’s still wriggling eyebrows.

Elvin’s face twitched a little, and met my smiling eyes for a moment.

‘Are you sure you’re all, right? You can refuse okay!’

‘I’m really all right, Trust me!’

‘ Well… Okay.’

It seems that we had this conversation with our eyes.

Elvin sighed softly and stood guard behind me again.

“Well, let’s go”

Jenna’s carriage was luxurious as if it had been thoroughly prepared for me.

It’s as if they knew I would not refuse to go.

‘You’re really tenacious, aren’t you?’

The fast-running carriage soon stopped at the entrance of a splendid rose garden.

“This way,”

Jenna, the maid, led me into the rose garden.

Walking a little along the rose vine, I saw a red-haired woman drinking tea at the tea table.

“Your Majesty, Princess Emiliette Bardion has arrived.”

snap

Nine Mogris slowly put the tea she was drinking on the table, she got up from her seat and turned her head toward our side.

She was wearing extravagant jewelries like when she came to Cardin’s office last time.

As she turned around, her jewels were fluttering together and the jewels reflected in the sun flashed, making it look as if Nine Mogris is illuminating.

“Oh…”

Even a good medicine can be poisonous if it’s too much.

The jewels hanging loosely naturally seems heavy, and the jewels reflected in the light made me frown.

“Oh, my God. Today is a very special day, isn’t it? I can’t believe we have such a special guest.”

The voice of Nine Mogris echoed through the garden. Her cheerful voice proved how happy she is now.

“It’s a pleasure to meet you. Princess Bardion.”

“It’s an honor to meet you. Your Majesty.”

It was fortunate that I remembered the greeting I learned during the etiquette class.

With my right hand on my chest, I bowed my head to show my respect to the empress.

“The youngest child ever to be trained in a magic tower sure is different. I’m glad you don’t look like your mother.”

There were many thorns hidden in Mogris’s words referring to Reina in a relaxed tone.

“Thank you, Your Majesty, But I think I resemble my mother more than my father.”

I replied with an innocent smile. I didn’t forget to touch my hair on purpose.

“Well, I see, I guess the princess likes it because she takes after her mother.” said Mogris, raising one corner of her mouth. I could see a slight crack in her composure.

“Yes! My father likes it because I resemble my mother a lot. Because my father loves my mother the most in the world and for the rest of his life!”

Mogris was smiling but her curved eyes were filled with fire.
