Once Again Into the Light, Alone - Chapter 5

A suffocating atmosphere surrounds the moon.

What is this situation? I didn’t realize what happened.

………Who is that?

I opened my mouth and looked at the man.

He stepped out from behind the curtain.

He is also looking at me.

Our eyes met in the air, my blue eyes and his golden eyes staring at each other. I looked at him intently.

He spoke softly.

”Ohh, you can see me.”

His low voice sounded slowly in the room like a cello.

I blinked.

What did he just say?

Obviously, this is not the language of Emir. In comparison, this pronunciation is closer to the ancient language.

Unfortunately, I haven’t learned ancient languages, so I can only guess in secret.

I stared at him closely.

In fact, I should have cried out immediately, after all, Emir’s little princess suddenly met the weird man who invaded the royal family.

I hesitated whether to wake up the attendants outside.

But he seemed to understand my heart, and slowly raised his finger to his lips: ”Shhh…”

At that moment, the breeze was blowing, and moonlight poured in through the corners of the curtains.

I sighed and narrowed my eyes slightly.

………No way, it’s too shameful.

It is no exaggeration to say that this man is the most beautiful one I have ever seen in the world. He walked towards me slowly, looking down at me, his platinum hair fluttering.

“…What a funny kid,” he muttered to himself.

The elves around me bowed their heads and said in unison: ”Meet the Elf King.”

King?

I looked at him with great suspicion.

He is the king of those elves?

I suddenly woke up, because I realized that he, like other elves, was talking to me through will.

Then this looks similar to human beings, is my illusion right?

I began to tremble slightly.

He stared at me intently.

”It seem that I came too early.”

I can’t understand what he said, but what is certain is that his mental power is huge, I feel that his sense of oppression is gradually getting stronger.

I curled up slowly and nervously, but he placed his fingers lightly on my forehead, his fingertips gleaming, as if connected to the moonlight outside the window.

”Forget about tonight.”

I opened my eyes wide,

ㅡWait, wait a minute!

But he did not stop.

His fingertips touched me lightly, and the sleepiness surged like a tide, and my whole body began to weaken.

I tried to keep my eyes wide open, to prevent myself from falling asleep.

But no vail.

In the end, the only idea in my mind is that he is not human.

And there is also unusual excitement.

What a strange guy.

I slowly closed my eyes and stopped thinking about it.

”Your Royal Highness, are you awake?”

As usual, the nurse looked at me with a warm smile.

”Since yesterday, you haven’t cried even once, you seem to be sleeping well.”

is it?

I shook my head in my heart.

But I don’t seem to have any memories of last night.

I blinked, and for some reason, a full moon suddenly appeared in front of my eyes. It should be an afterimage, um, still shaking.

Maybe it ‘s a dream.

Ah, so it seems…

I frowned unknowingly. This is what I heard when I went out yesterday.

“The emperor will hold a one-month banquet…”

It happened that the nanny said all those words.

”My lovely Princess, do you know?”

There was a big smile on the face of the nanny.

”His Majesty the Emperor invites designers and artists from all over the country to help out for your birthday party!”

She was a chatterer originally, but today she has a lot of words.

”It’s about drawing super-large portraits, and preparing artwork and beautiful jewelry for the emperor!”

”That’s great, that’s great!”

The maids beside them gathered together, their faces filled with excitement.

”His Majesty the Emperor will do this, it must be because he loves you so much!”

Faced with what they said, I pretended not to be interested.

But the emperor will never broke his promise.

From that day on, they started preparing for my birthday party. The servants were so busy that they also transferred a new group of people from other courts.

Among them, mother, maids and nanny, as if they were on the battlefield, that commanded very quickly.

But at this very busy birthday party, there seems to be no special change in what I have to do.

Although my attendants are very busy, I just need to obediently move according to their requirements, dressing or dressing up.

Throughout the process, I was regarded as a precious treasure, so I had nothing else to do. It’s the people who come to customize clothes or jewelry for me, tirelessly making themselves dry.

“How cute, what a lovely princess.”

This is the compliment I have heard since I was born, but I don’t think I dare to be it.

I yawned boredly, and the nanny next to me suddenly stared at me.

”My God, Your Royal Highness!”

She made a fuss so I even forgot to close my mouth.

”You have a teeth!”

The nanny looked at my face carefully.

tooth?

My gums have been itchy and sore for the past few days, it turned out to be teething.

When the people preparing for the banquet heard the news of my teething, they all rushed over.

“So cute.”

Now is the time to be praised.

I was a little shy, and turned my head slightly away.

But at this moment, the maid said quietly: ”It’s time to learn to speak now, right? ”

These words made some people look startled.

The empress who was staring at me suddenly sank, she was probably worried about whether I could speak.

This is a well-known fact in the palace. So far, I have always been quiet, not crying or making trouble, only occasionally moving my fingers.

But on the other hand, I will vaguely hear such words.

“Is there anything wrong with the emperor? Otherwise, the expression will not be so…”

But unlike ordinary children, I have never challenged pronunciations such as “Baba” or “Ma Ma”.

Therefore, the story of my growth is almost forbidden in this palace.

Maybe she was a novice transferred from another court to prepare the banquet, so she didn’t know about it.

But maybe she said it for the empress.

speak?

The empress smiled quietly,

”It should be.”

”Definitely, she has grown up and she is not far from the day of speaking. In any case, she is the empress and the emperor with pure blood.”

The nurse tried her best to comfort the Empress.

I closed my eyes bitterly.

Opening up to others is not so easy.

The people around me were muttering, looking at me with worried eyes, but the love on their faces was real.

I know what the Empress is worried about, but no matter how hard I try, I can’t speak.

Although the body is still growing, but…

Whenever I make up my mind to say something,

I was always flustered.

I was so scared that the trauma of being betrayed by my family again, in my previous life sealed my throat.

The surroundings are very quiet, I pretend that nothing happened, but my heart hurts abnormally.

At this time, a warm feeling hugged me.

My body shook, I wonder if I can escape those slender hands,

But those hands were too big and too warm.

”It’s okay, until then I can wait for you forever.”

The soft voice of the empress rang in my ears.

Somehow, I looked into her eyes, and there was a feeling stronger than the bright colors of flowers and paints. That was love for me.

It failed again and I couldn’t make a sound.

The maid who proposed first closed her lips tightly, and she seemed to realize something.

Soon, the empress stood up from her seat.

“Well, Aisha, shall we try again today?”

The guards hurriedly laid out their seats.

In the arms of the empress, I was moved to an empty position.

For me, something new happened these days, that is, I took my first step in front of the empress.

I pretended to do other exercises, but this time I walked with my full attention.

I want to walk by myself without the help of others, although I just think about it, but every step becomes more comfortable and relaxed.

“One, two, one, two…”

The sound of footsteps matched the voice of the empress, and I watched slowly moving forward.

Because the leg strength is not enough, it is a bit difficult to walk now.

The empress is welcoming me in front with her arms outstretched.

Suddenly, the memories of the past overlap with the present. My previous mother, she never hugged me, and only played the role of a good mother in public. Although it was only her political action, I still felt Happiness, because the embrace of the mother is very warm.

I tried to force myself to take one step, take two steps, take three steps. People around me are cheering for me.

Ha, I have only walked three steps now, but my legs are already shaking. So far, the most powerful thing I have done is to take three steps.

But somehow, this time I feel as if I can go further.

More!

I suddenly became a little greedy,

One more time.

but……

I threw on the carpet and fell over.

The people around seemed to feel sorry, and sighed beside them:

”One walk is four steps, which is a pity.”

”But you did a good job.”

I lay on the soft carpet, buried my face,

“It doesn’t matter, Aisha”

It’s the voice of the empress.

I used my strength to get up and got up again. My feet were a little soft, but I still wanted to try.

”Not bad!”

Seeing me like this, people laughed and praised me.

But I ignored their voices, looking straight ahead, and walking to the queen was my goal.

Although I don’t have enough power, I don’t want to give up.

A little bit, if just a little bit more, can I hug that person?

Stepping away with difficulty, I started to walk again.

The empress opened her arms to me tirelessly.
