The Emperor’s Terminally-ill Youngest Daughter is Being Taken Care Of - chapter 9

I stared at him blankly.

If we’ve talked this much, if we’re going out with a different reaction than usual, then he won’t come any more, right?

Little expectations came.

However, unlike usual, the emperor stopped walking and tried to touch the wall next to the door with his hand. As soon as his hand touched, the wall glowed for a moment.

I closed my eyes slowly because I thought I was mistaken.

As if it were the wrong thing to see, the shiny wall returned to its original color.

Since nothing seemed to have changed in particular, it seemed to be no big deal. I seemed to be starting to see vain now because I’ve been crowding these days.

I feel like I’m seeing more and more vainness, as if telling me that I’m soon to die.

In the meantime, Jane opened the door.

He tried to move again the steps he stopped to get out. But as if something kept stopping him, the Emperor turned around and looked at me.

“You don’t want me to come?”

“……”

“I’m asking if you want to kick the title odd bloom, Titania”

That’s what I want.

I wish for that silence like before when I was waiting for death alone if this room where nobody finds me.

Funny enough, the answer doesn’t pop out at once.

My head was telling me to say yes right now, but my heart stopped me from saying it.

“Reply. I won’t bother you if you wish.”

“….suddenly? You have that kind of mind?”

“You hate it?”

“….no, I want it”

Can I rest? Can I take a break? Such thoughts occurred to me.

The emperor, who heard my calm answer, left the room on that road.

Contrary to the expectation that he would say anything more, he only nodded quietly as if he were trying to listen to me.

****

There has been a series of very quiet days ever since.

The Emperor didn’t come, and no one forced himself to come.

There were still Rossanne, Jane, and Celine, who glistened their eyes at me to the point of burden whenever they saw me, but no one came into my room except them.

Nothing has changed from the past.

Even people were the same.

After the emperor left, ravelly who was being nice to me as if going back to her old self was getting irritated day by day.

“I think the princess is really out of her mind.”

“What?”

“She should have accepted the title odd bloom when it’s given to her, to say take it back and go and don’t come back again? The emperor must be so angry. She s insane. Is that what happens when you never study”2

a frivolous mouth moving incessantly

It was less when there were Rosanne and other maids.

But three times a day when they go to the main palace and we two have a time alone she treated me like that.

It was not worth answering. So I didn’t answer, but her constant chatter finally burst into anger.

“Nobody in the hallway. It’s really frustrating.”

“…So are you dissatisfied now?”

“Yes, aah.. I thought life is gonna change but what do you expect from a princess who’s gonna die tomorrow, Rosanne-nim the head maid came so I thought it’s gonna be great, but great my ass”

After hearing the story of the emperor and me late from Rosanne she was angry everyday and seeing the emperor leaving she was more and more irritated. Talking about me what do I expect from you.

I’d like to give her a punch.

“You really want to die.”

“No way, i thought the princess becane something great, but his majesty the emperor didn’t come since that day. You couldn’t even take that affection, you’re stupid. How do you do that and want to kill me?, you don’t even have the power to.”

I was going to say something else, but I erased my feelings from my face.

You’re not wrong.

In order to live, you have to hold onto the emperor’s pant leg and ask him to save you somehow.

I know that the princess, whom the emperor didn’t even know she existed, should try to get into his eyes somehow.

But I don’t want to live.

I’ve been grateful that he’s gone and hasn’t been looking for me for days.

It’s a pity that the arrogant Ravelly could not be any more distressing.

I closed my eyes quietly as she said something as before.

I just had one mind to figure out how to roll the Ravelly. Nothing else has changed for me. (I read this thousands times but didn’t get it :/ )

That afternoon.

Because of my extreme dislike of opening windows, Rossanne and two maids used to leave the door slightly open after a certain period of time. It should have been closed in less than 5 minutes though.

And today, one head came into the open door.

“Knock knock.”

As if That was not enough, so instead of knocking on the door, the head was knocking with its mouth. (Cuuuute)

“Seeing that the door was open, you were telling me to come in.”

Nope.

I looked at the door with my eyes rolling in bewilderment. I saw a creature coming in with a pouting mouth.

“Hi, little sister.”

“……”

It’s a pigeon. A chicken pigeon.1

I thought I won’t see the pigeon that I’ve seen only once on the day I received medical treatment from estan cause he didn’t come to me again.

He was smiling brightly, as if to show that I was wrong.

Please, I sincerling wish more and more. After the emperor left now it’s you to care about me.

But he didn’t stop talking, even though he had seen my face darkened.

“Eheum. I am your big brother.” (He’s cutteeeee)

Big brother my ass.

Our pigeon is good at saying weird thing.

My face stiffens to a point.

He even went to say it one letter each time as if saying following me.

“Now little sister follow me.. b.i.g b.r.o.t.h.e.r “

“…..”

“Big brother! Now you call me like that”

Pigeon. It’s a pigeon

You seem like a man who knows how to make a person’s anger more creative. What ‘big brother’

But our chicken dove, who couldn’t know this kind of feelings, came to me with his shoulders stretched out like a male dove looking for a mate.

with glistening eyes.

I’m struggling with pain everyday….do I look like someone to call you big brother, you who looks very young from first look

“Go ahead. I want to hear it.”

When I didn’t answer, the chicken dove urged me more and more.

You’re the brightest in this crazy situation.

That’s exactly why I’m not interested.

He’ll be the one who bothers me. As soon as I answer, he’ll stick to me like a leech.

“Is it because you’re still embarrassed? Do you have to call me brother when we get closer?”

I nodded roughly without answering.

This is a way to end the conversation as soon as possible.

But the talk of the pigeon was not over.

“Um. Then, next question! How was it? Was it delicious?”

“….em?”

“The one I gave you. It was delicious, right? I gave it to you because you were my little sister. I saved it, but I gave it to you because you’re all white and skinny.”

“..aah”

What the

The act of being tempered like a chicken dove,but in fact, it is a kid.

What do you mean saved it.

“Huh? What’s that reaction? No way, you didn’t eat it?”

“My throat hurts I can’t eat well…”

“You didn T eat it?”

Pigeon’s face has hardened.

Pigeon, who was rather shocked and at a loss, came up to the bed and looked around at me.

“It can’t be. What I gave you was really good, but you couldn’t eat it, right?”

“Eh..emm”

“You’re so pathetic. You can’t eat delicious food. But what should I do? There’s nothing more to eat.”

As if something really serious had happened, the face of the chickens pigeon hardened every moment.

He, stared at me, made a ‘hmm’ sound and made eye contact.

The eyes are so bright that I can even feel the rejection.

“Do you have something you like?”

“No”

“That can’t be”

What do you mean can’t be again.

Pigeon’s face darkened.

Even if I didn’t ask or answer correctly, pigeon was just talking to himself as if he looked like his father, the emperor.

When I was looking at the strange figure for a moment,

“This is annoying “

After looking at me for a long time, pigeon gave a couple of sniffles and went down from my bed with a word of irritation.

after all he had to say was his own words.

……excuse me?

Excuse me? Pigeon ?

What the he’ll you mean annoying ? No way, you’re saying that about me?

Now I see you’re really the son of the Emperor. You’re just saying what you want to say, aren’t you?

But pigeon went out of here without me calling him.

What the hell is he? That Pigeon?.

What do they want from me?

Curiosity shook for a moment, but quickly faded.

There is no need to care.

You’re not going to look for me again because you went out with irritation for no reason.

Then came the silence again after the chicken dove had gone out.

thinking about what to do I closed my eyes.

I felt like I won’t sleep comfortably unless I sleep now that Ravelly went out for work.

I went to sleep for a while, afraid of the pain that might come, and feeling the silence that might end.

But my break was soon broken.

As I was about to fall asleep due to no pain today, I could feel the vibration with a loud noise.

Thump-

A sudden noise almost knocked my heart out.

“That..surprised me”

I hurriedly opened my eyes and looked where the sound came from.

What was there was a chicken dove that went out irritating earlier.
