Princess, are you going to the Black Tower?

Yes.

When I returned to the Emerald Palace, Lilian was the first to greet me as usual. Lately, I had been going to the Black Tower frequently, so I think shed become more used to it.

Oh Lilian, you smell amazing.

I took in the delicious scent and clung to Lilian.

Ive just baked a financier. Ill bring it to your room.

PR/n: Financier is a small French almond cake.

A warm, motherly smile spread across Lilians face. As expected from her. How did she know that I was hungry for snacks, and had it prepared perfectly just in time for my arrival?

Princess, Ive prepared the invitations on the table.

Oh, thank you, Ces.

As soon as I entered the room, I began to familiarize myself with the invitations that were arranged on the table.

Since the invitations had already been filtered through before being presented to me, there actually wasnt a lot for me to pay attention to. In fact, because of this, I only had a few things that I had to accept and decline.

Hmm.

I sat on the sofa and read the invitations that were in front of me. Today, I felt good and very refreshed because I had finally finished explaining the magic formula. I would have felt more relieved if I had brought the topic up sooner.

Up until now, the magicians in the Black Tower didnt seem to worship Emperor Aeternitas, but the practices that he had left behind.

Wow Come to think of it, Ive improved a lot too? I never thought I could alter Emperor Aeternitas formula, which was well-known among the Emperors most powerful magicians! Im so thrilled just thinking about it!

Honestly, I hate to admit it, but Lucas has been a major influence on me before I became this good. Alright I admit it, hes a genius!

Princess, have some of these while you look through the invitations.

As I was enjoying my time alone, Lilian came to my room with a snack.

Oh, is that coffee?

Yes, I remembered the princess had taken a liking to it last time. It was delivered to our palace a while ago.

Obelia originally had no coffee, but seeing that Lilian recently gave me the new product imported from Arlanta to try, that must mean it was also presented to the Emerald Palace. Although, I dont know if its actually coffee.

Its faint scent enveloped the air around me and I quickly fell in love with the taste. Black tea is also good, but I missed this taste. Of course, instant coffee doesnt suit my taste, but this one is good.

Even when I grew older my taste buds remained a little childish. By a little childish of course meant that I generously poured sugar into the coffee Lilian had brought me.

Lilian, lets sit here and eat together.

Im full just watching you eat, princess.

It would be nice if we could eat together, but I couldnt get myself to say it again because Lilian was watching over me with her warm mothers smile.

She still liked to do things by herself throughout my life. Things like making me snacks or brushing my hair. She would still watch over me as I went to bed. I loved it, so I didnt stop her, even though Im 17 now.

When did the princess grow up this beautiful

Over the past two years I have grown a little taller and Ive lost my childish features. My face has become slimmer, and my body has developed more distinctive curves.

Perhaps thats why Lilian mutters to herself quite often these days when shes staring at me. I smiled at her and said playfully.

Im always pretty.

Of course. The princess has been the prettiest baby in the world since she was born.

A-ahem. She still responded to my jokes seriously. I was a little shy, but her affection was one of my favorite things in this lifetime.

Perhaps thats why I keep acting like a baby with Lilian. After eating my snacks, I rolled around while looking at the invitations, and then headed to the Emperors Palace.

Daddy, time to take a break!

Today, he has been locked up in his office and has been struggling with documents. When I opened the door and entered, he lifted his head. The dark circles under his eyes were plainly visible.

At first, I was careful not to disturb him, but he has been working for so long that I knew he wouldnt stop until dawn unless I did. Like yesterday, Daddy closed his eyes for a while and then opened them as I came for my visit.

Felix

Yes, your highness.

At Daddys quiet call, Felix, who was standing behind me, bowed his head and replied.

I feel like Ive become a dog that needs to be leashed and walked. Was it just my imagination?

Princess Athanasia has such a beautiful heart. She comes to His Majestys office every day because shes worried about His Majestys health, and this is the response she gets.

Yeah, Daddy. A dog walking on a leash is a bit much.

Besides, whether its an animal or a person, both must stretch their legs and get some sunlight, Your Majesty.

Great job, Felix! Maybe its because weve known each other for so many years. Now we get along pretty well, right?

Its hard to believe that its Felix who was like the old days. Uh-huh, of course, there were a lot of anecdotes that couldnt be heard without tears.

Pr/n: Confusing a little? The direct translation is calling him an old snowbird, which is usually a name for a person who migrates from the colder parts of a continent to warmer parts during winter. I dont really get how that applies to Felix.

The space between Claudes brows wrinkled at Felix and my tactful persuasion. Rather than fight it, it would be easier to just give in!

Come on Daddy, finish what you were doing and lets go out together. Like Felix said, a person should get enough sunlight and take a walk outside.

Haaa.

Daddy sighed as if he disliked our ideas, but that didnt stop me.

Then Ill wait here patiently.

I sat down on the fluffy sofa with a smile. Hmmstrange. Two years ago I definitely changed the sofa in my room to the same one as this, but why does it feel different here? And Why does it feel like the sofa here is softer?

I wanted to test the softness of this sofa more, but I decided to let it go. I thought it would bother Daddy if I kept standing and sitting.

Daddy, lets go to the Rose Garden today, Im tired of staying here every day.

After a while, I grabbed his arm and left the Emperors Palace. Felix was following behind on his own.

Daddy always tried to get Felix out of his sight and would make him take ten steps away from us. So, after being scolded so many times, Felix no longer came close when Daddy and I were together.

At first, every time I visited him, Felix would always get kicked out. He would get depressed and disappointed, but these days, I think hes used to it.

U-umm, but if you look at it again, does that mean Felix got bullied enough that he actually got used to it? Hehe. Felix, are you feeling a little upset right now?

See, youre also happy to be outside, right?

Annoying.

If you stay indoors because its annoying, youll become weak. You should mind your age, Daddy.

I could see Daddy frown at my statements. Hehe, are you offended that I talked about your age? But its true.

Of course, Daddy was proud of his beauty even through the stressful years, but what did you do to keep your skin looking so young? Even though your face is downcast from exhaustion.

If I said that though, Daddy would just deny it, but even if I dont, I couldnt help but worry about his usual amount of work. He was stuck in the office all day and his sleep schedule was irregular.

I told you to sleep on your bed, right? If you keep doing this, Im going to move the sofa.

He cant seem to break his habit of sleeping on the sofa. Even if youre resting you should have done it comfortably. But because of my words, Daddy was muttering like he had a headache.

This girl keeps nagging me day in and day out.

But who else would care about you like this if it wasnt me?

Youre not going to listen even if Felix says it a hundred times. I have to nag like this, so youll at least take care of your health.

Dont you think you should compliment me? Dont you think you should be nice to me for being the only one here for you?

But Daddy is Daddy. Instead of praising me, hed rather mutter to himself with his voice full of regret.

I dont want my daughter to treat me like a dog, do this, do that, every day.. I dont want to hear nagging. Ive done as much as I could.

Uugghh, why do you keep saying Im treating you like a dog? Are you saying that if I take someone for a walk it means that Im treating them like a dog? Uh It does feel like I forced you a bit but.

By the way, arent you tired of this garden now?

Daddy, who was looking around for a while, suddenly asked me. When I heard him, I broke away from my thoughts and looked around. We were in a flower garden full of pink roses in bloom. Of course, this place had been created by daddy in the past.

Im perfectly fine with it, but is Daddy tired of it?

Should we change the route that we walk next time?

Cough, I sounded like a pet owner thinking about the walking route of their dog. Its all because Daddys treating me like one!

Felix.

As soon as he slowly opened his mouth, Felix, who was behind him, approached Daddy as if he had been waiting for it.

Yes, Your Majesty. Did you call me?

Tell the gardeners to turn this place into a tropical arboretum tomorrow.

Gasp! I stopped and stared at him bewildered. No, what are you talking about all of a sudden? Felix, who was approaching Daddy, had also flinched at a random demand.

Tropical Arboretum Are you sure?

Yeah. I think Athanasia is tired of the Rose garden by now.

What? Me? Suddenly my mouth dropped open in embarrassment.

Daddy, when did I say that?

Last time, I heard that the garden tended by Marquis Irene was quite impressive. The name of the flower was.

Oh wait! Why are you doing this right now?!

Oh yes. Are you talking about Aristolochia Elegans?

QC/N: its a real plant You can Google it if you are curious about how it looks.

Cough! I almost spit at that luxurious name that came out of Daddys mouth.

Huh? Aristolochia

Aristolochia Elegans.

Aristolochia Elegans There was a flower with a name like that. Ill be sure to remember its name.

The flowers name that these two men continually recited with serious faces was so elegant that I found it a little funny. But it doesnt suit them! So stop talking about it with such serious faces and elegant pronunciations!
