Once Again Into the Light, Alone - Chapter 4

The Empress smiled and said to the emperor: “Do you want to hug her?”

He stretched out his hand to me a little hesitantly, and then retracted it again.

“…I’m afraid that I won’t be able to do that.” He shook his head vigorously there. “Such a small child, I feel that it will break when I touched her.”

I think it’s a bit ridiculous.

Although I am young, I am definitely not going to break like glass crafts.

Despite this, he, who cherishes me so much, dares to not even touch me.

“My beloved daughter.” He gave up holding me and handed me gently to the Empress. At the same time, his gentle voice surrounded me.

“It won’t break.” Mother smiled.

“Aisha has been 10 months now.”

Even though my hands are still so small, the fact that I have been born again for 10 months is incredible.

“so……”

The emperor seemed to have been waiting for this moment.

“When Aisha turns one year old, I will have a banquet.”

“banquet……?”

Mother repeated the end of the sentence gently.

“Is it okay? Aisha is a pretty child.”

I feel a gentle hand touching me. Maybe because I always avoid people, the empress misunderstood.

The emperor replied: “Just show up on the first day, isn’t it a long banquet?”

Mother still shook her head.

The scale and splendor of the banquet shows how important the protagonist is, which can be regarded as a measure. Generally, noble banquets were held for one or two days, and at most three days were held.

But since it was the emperor’s mouth, my banquet will definitely not end in a day or two.

The emperor nodded calmly.

“In this way, it would be nice if your father and mother can also be there, and I will ask them to come.”

!!

The empress’s eyes shined brightly.

The Empress’s parents, which I call the “Russell Family” of my grandfather and grandmother, are the Marquis’s house guarding the northern border. Naturally, there is almost no chance to come to the capital.

The emperor seemed to have seen through the empress’s longing for her parents not long after entering the palace, so he made this suggestion.

If my birthday party is held for a long time, then she as my mother, can naturally stay with her parents for a while.

“It looks like it will take many days to celebrate her birthday, Aisha’s first birthday.”

“Then how long do you plan to hold it?”

Although I wanted to pretend I didn’t know, I still couldn’t help it. I still raised my ears unconsciously.

“What are you going to do?”

I thought about it carefully, the birthday will probably be held for about a week, because he wants to spend more days to commemorate my first birthday.

Don’t you care about the precious time this week?

Although it is only a week, it is not a simple matter to think about the huge budget and manpower required during this period. If he didn’t care about me so much, there would be no such thing.

But the emperor finally decided…

His confident voice sounded in the courtyard.

“One month.”

This sentence surprised all the attendants and mothers present.

“…Haha, are you holding a birthday party for a month?”

The Empress’s thoughts are my thoughts at this time.

Maybe the emperor cares too much about me, he himself loves his family very much

The nanny once told me that when the crown prince Isis was born, the emperor held a one-month birth banquet and a one-month “prince canonization” banquet for him.

It is said that it was a world-class banquet with flying gold and dazzling jewelry.

The empress opened her mouth blankly as if frozen.

Under normal circumstances, no country will hold such a big banquet for the emperor.

“Haha, but the palace budget is limited…”

“For my beloved daughter, is the money important?” The emperor was convincing the queen very seriously.

I screamed in my heart.

How come it has become a month, so annoying!

Not only feel burdened, but will I also feel tired.

But it is impossible for me to come forward and persuade the emperor.

Didn’t the empress continue to stop him? It would be too much to put it another month?

I looked at the empress with hope.

However, at that moment, I gave up this idea.

The Empress’s eyes shone brighter than before.

“One month…”

Her face was full of pride and expectation that could not be concealed.

Because she had just entered the palace not long ago, her status was not high. Although the former Empress Taitis died of physical weakness, she used to be a processing woman, and now her people are still scattered throughout the palace, which has also had a certain impact.

Because she gave birth to me as “the princess”, the empress has to worry about my status. Because Isis has become the successor of the empire, so for me, who is very unlikely to inherit the empire, the status of my parents is right I have a great influence.

As if to completely eliminate this anxiety, the emperor announced that he would hold a one-month banquet for me.

But I bit my lip bitterly. Although I turned my face away, I knew that the empress actually didn’t care how much it cost. If possible, she would like to spend a long time celebrating my birthday.

Because she knows it can increase my value and give me a foothold in the palace. So as an empress, she can only thank the emperor for his proposal.

The empress finally burst into tears with red eyes.

I looked at them, my heart ached. My former parents were not like this at all.

The mother of the former empress was more interested in power and the size of the palace, so she formed a character that was indifferent to her children. This was not much different from the father who was the emperor. He only cared about the prince who could become his successor.

ㅡNo, there is only one exception.

I smiled bitterly.

Princess Marianne.

Thinking of her, I suddenly got a headache.

When I groaned, the empress who quickly realized it hugged me.

“What’s wrong, Aisha? What’s wrong?”

Looking at her eyes is full of worry, as if looking at me like this can relieve my pain.

I stopped crying, the empress laughed happily and shook me gently.

Butterflies are flying in the indoor courtyard made of glass, and beautiful flowers are in full bloom. What lingered in it was the aroma of black tea and the laughter of the Empress and the Emperor.

Everything is as beautiful as a dream.

“Aisha, here you have your mom and dad.”

The empress said to me in a warm voice.

“Nothing will be scary.”

She said this, touching my head lightly.

“Have you heard? Aisha is having a birthday party for a month.”

The empress gave a big smile.

“Everyone will celebrate your birthday.”

I closed my eyes.

In the boundless darkness, I didn’t even have to drink water, and the dryness in my throat was still vivid.

However, now, I was lying in the sun, accepting the Empress’s touch and the emperor’s love.

The emperor who had been silent also spoke.

“It’s great that Aisha can be with us. I hope you can enjoy this banquet.”

“You are terrified.”

The empress closed her eyes and sang a lullaby for me, which is a sweet song.

With the warmth that hugged me, I fell asleep unconsciously.

Then when I opened my eyes, I went back to my palace.

It feels that night has fallen for a long time, maybe to make me sleep well, the curtains in my room are thick, and the whole room is pitch black.

According to the strict rules of the palace, I have to sleep separately from the empress, because it will happen someday, so now there is nothing to feel lonely.

I was thinking alone in silence, and calling the elf silently.

ㅡLittle guys.

So the elves came to me one by one.

Every time I see them, my heart feels warm, because from the beginning, from the moment I was reborn, they were by my side. To me, elves are more than friends.

ㅡWithout you, I might die soon because I can’t adapt to my new life.

I said quietly in my heart, and the little guys patted me gently, as if comforting me.

ㅡOk?

However, these elves are a bit strange, especially the light elves, who stand in a row politely and bow their heads.

I was surprised and lifted my body slightly.

“what happened?”

They seem to be trying to tell me something.

But before that, moonlight slipped into the room with the gently raised curtains, illuminating the room transparently.

Outside the window is a full moon.

My eyes widened.

There was a man standing behind the curtains, his golden eyes shining like moonlight, and his flowing platinum hair.

He is a mysterious man.
