The Twin Siblings’ New Life - chapter 32

He tilted his head a little and looked at us, but Argen mumbled inwardly saying that his gaze was burdensome and made him sweat.

I asked him if I was dreaming, but Argen was also just as confused as I was so he asked me the same question. It was because yesterday was like a page out of a fairy tale to us.

But it was clear that it wasn’t a dream. The Emperor that Argen and I knew……The emperor I had been imagining was not the one who would apologize to us.

Even in a dream, I couldn’t imagine the emperor apologizing.

Because he was that kind of person to us.

My shoulders were shaking again when I remembered what happened yesterday. I feel a little better and I feel positive about everything.

“Did it happen?”

The emperor kept staring at the two of us who couldn’t do anything, then glance at the clock and got up

The emperor, whose legs were so long that his sitting height and standing height were very different, came this way without hesitation. The curtains were rolled up so the bright sunlight poured over the bed.

The only good thing about blond hair is that it shines beautifully in the sunlight and the moonlight. When I looked at the emperor and Argen in front of my eyes, I thought the expression ‘shining’ was not wrong.

I didn’t realize because I’ve never looked closely at the emperor’s face, but it seemed a little…..No, actually, a lot like Argen.

The first prince resembled the emperor, while the second and third princes had no resemblance to the emperor.

Argen looked more like the emperor than the other two……

“Yes.”

Argen responded quickly and made a standing posture. Unlike me, who stared at Argen’s face and thought about it for a while, Argen was quick to show his respect.

I also straightened my back next to him and made the correct posture to greet His Majesty the Emperor like my teachers had taught me, but he raised Argen instead and said.

“You don’t have to do that in front of me.”

“…..Uh…..Uh yeah.”

While looking down at the bed, I couldn’t see the emperor reaching out to me with his hand freezing. After I relaxed my posture, he folded his hand and glanced at the watch again.

“Would you like to play here a little until breakfast is ready?”

It certainly sounds like the same voice as before, but it might be a mistake that I felt it has softened. I nodded my head with desire.

Then, to my surprise, a white curtain completely covered the bed. Although it was a translucent drape, the structure was hard to see from outside.

After the drapes covered us, I was distracted for a while and made my hair into pigtails, then I made eye contact with Argen.

I didn’t know if it was because I made eye contact with Argen or the life size rabbit and bear dolls, but I was surprised. At some point, the emperor started putting dolls on his bed.

‘Is this real?’

‘What?!’

‘The Emperor has covered us with the curtains for our consideration, right?’

‘How am I supposed to know that?’

He has already shown us consideration with a carpet on the floor, but it was the first time that the curtain was put down like this.

Soon, Argen turned halfway around and touched the curtain slightly with a determined expression, as if he had decided to continue this meaningless battle.

‘….. Isn’t he just telling us that we shouldn’t get out of here?’

‘….. No way….. Right.’

‘You’re guessing.’

‘I believe I can tell.’

‘Really.’

He grabbed the end of the curtain with his dainty hand and rolled it up really lightly. The bright sunlight pouring in the bedroom caught my eyes and I was about to lift my head slowly.

“What are you doing?”

A shadow fell overhead. Argen first took a breath of surprise and moved backwards, and because I was half leaning against his back, I fell down.

While I was laying on a soft bed, Argen quickly closed the curtains. Half of it was almost only of instinct.

Our father, the emperor, was right in front of the closed curtain. This was obviously Argen’s fault, so I didn’t get up and instead swallowed my saliva. Argen paled while looking down at his own hands.

The curtain was still painted with the emperor’s shadow. Come to think of it, this was the emperor’s bedroom, the emperor’s bed, and it was us who were invading his territory. I mean, we shouldn’t treat him like an intruder.

I grabbed the edge of Argen’s clothes, who looked at me in confusion, and dragged him back.

Argen came this way along with bed sheets. I watched the beautifully laid white bedspread come off, and as soon as I let go of my hands, the curtain was removed.

The emperor looked down at the two of us with profound eyes. There was no sign of being offended.

After the accident, I felt nervous and thought that I was about to be scolded so I hesitated, but he just held out his hand while fixing the curtain to the side.

“Let’s go to breakfast.”

******

First of all, my eyes were swollen and I didn’t want to show my face to others.

After washing my face and brushing my teeth with the water the maids brought, I changed my clothes. I did not think the swelling would go away. Argen’s eyes were also swollen.

I thought it was the price for crying so hard yesterday. Argen’s eyes were only red, but his skin was so weak that it quickly swelled like me.

Since I was not in a state that could be shown to others, I bowed my head to hide my face as much as possible and followed the emperor’s back.

He didn’t use magic to force us to go like last time, but now I’d rather be dragged and be comfortable.

The Emperor’s pace was slow, but it was still too much for me and Argen to walk this long distance. Especially since the dining room was far.

I fiddled with the hem of my clothes for no reason and walked while looking at the bare floor. My pure white skin without any scars was amazing and I also felt refreshed that my field of vision had gotten a little higher. It wasn’t such a bad change. I felt rather good because it was proof that we grew up.

I saw Argen trudging along while looking at the floor.

‘Are you hungry?’

‘I’m hungry.’

‘Me too.’

‘It looks like it.’

Both of us were not very motivated with our stomach growling a little. But what can we do……His majesty the Emperor wants us to go.

It was at that moment. My body slowly floated up. It was so slow and delicate that I almost didn’t even know I was hugged by him

“You should have told me if it was difficult.”

The Emperor lifted us up to his chest and slowly drew his eyes. His green eyes slowly looked over us with a powerful gaze. when we came into his arms, he looked at me and Argen.

“……..”

“……..”

That….. We can just walk. Aren’t we too close?

When I was suddenly embraced by the emperor my eyes grew bigger and he murmured quietly.

“I’ve never dealt with young children before, so I’m troubled.”

I was dumbfounded for a while, but when I thought about it, the other princes were different from birth. They were not the normal ‘young children.’

We couldn’t be compared to their physical strength, magic skills, intelligence, and progress.

I heard that the royal family could walk around in a month or two after birth. They didn’t seem to have the right timing to be called a child.

It was no wonder the emperor found us difficult to handle. Thinking so, I shook my head inward.

Even if they were left alone, they could grow well, and were geniuses….. In a word, they were the princes who were blessed by God. Compared to them, we were extremely ordinary.

Furthermore, if we had not manifested, we would still have the body of a 3-year-old child.

I was carried by the emperor to the dining room while strangely clinging on to his arms. It was a stifling silence, I could only breathe carefully without being able to talk to Argen

Wow….. His shoulders are wide.

I gripped the emperor’s shoulder and rested my chin on it while hoping that we would reach the dining hall soon.

Although It was comfortable, the soles of my feet kept itching because it still felt like I was hugging a stranger. My body felt tingly and my throbbing cheeks made me worried about everything here and there for no reason.

Fortunately, we arrived at the dining hall and it felt comforting when the emperor gently dropped us off. While I entered the dining hall with a delicious smell, the emperor gave orders to the servants that made my eyes pop.

“Let’s make a children’s playroom in the bedroom during the meal. It looks like there’s nothing to play with. Also, make a place where children can eat their meals separately.”

“……!?!”

“…….!!”

“It would be better to break through the room and make the ceiling out of glass to substitute for the garden. That way, they can just do everything in the room.”

No! Then we can’t come outside at all. Of course, the playroom and dining room sounded a little nice.

Apart from that, it was bad news to be able to do everything in the room.

It’s like being imprisoned in the room at an age when I was supposed to be running out and playing around, so I approached the emperor’s feet and looked up quietly.

The emperor, who felt my presence attached to his leg, looked down and made eye contact with me.

My shoulders gradually shrunk at his gaze asking me to speak. I swallowed my saliva once and said with the most pathetic face I could make.

“Y-your Majesty…..Um….Later……We don’t need a greenhouse……Because we can just go out and play…..”

As the end of my words gradually subsided, the emperor spoke seriously in a rather low voice.

“Your Majesty is uncomfortable.”

“……..”

“Father is enough, just like the other princes.”
