Who Made Me a Princess-Chapter 21

Lilly bragged a little saying that I started writing at the age of 4 which caused Elois Countess to be shocked.

And she then increased my homework and the speed of learning!

I was now learning basic manners, beginner official Paskal language, history of Obelia, and the world masterpieces.

Kyaa. It's a lot more enjoyable than I thought, but I feel like eating sweets now that I started studying since I'm not used to it.

"Princess, no more chocolates in a while."

Dun dun dun!!!

Well I got caught by Lilly stealing chocolates. It was when I started stealing choco since the new maids didn't even dare to touch a single choco and give me some.

There were no people to give me choco since Hanna and Seth were missing.

That is why I had to take risk and steal chocos when the amount she gives aren't sufficient.

"Hingg. I really ate a little...." (Hing: an aegyo/actung cute, informal version of expressing something like pouting or shame.)

"Now, princess. Hand me all the chocos you have right now. I will give it back when you finish your homework."

I hesitated then started to take the chocos out, depressed.

One, two, three, four. Lilly looked at me with a face seeming to say 'Is this all'.

But really. This was all.

"If you eat too many of them, your teeth will go ouchy ouchy."

Sob sob. I know that! But how if I like them so much!

"I'll give you one if your done your homework."

I frowned. It was depressing I couldn't eat whatever I want and how much because this age, but I was also embarrassed that I felt this sad for this little matter.

I turned back to my homework after Lilly started to leave. But Lilly's mumbling was heard with my ears.

"I saw it just now that the basket was empty. Now I'm worried there are cavities."

No, wait! I didn't eat that much! That's not me! It's not me!

"Lil...."

"Even though, doing your homework well. Very well done, our princess."

I watched Lilly smiling and leaving with a face of a depressed child.

What do you mean the basket full of candies were empty? There were some left the last time I grabbed some.

Huh, huhhhhh?! Who ate my chocolate. Who. Which maid unnie. Waw, I didn't see them this way but stealing a child's snack. Wahhh. My chocolate. And Lilly thinks I ate them all!

It was very unfair but I couldn't argue as with my reaction with chocolate, no one would believe me.

I ended up finishing Eloise Countess's essay homework and gained compliments and choco from Lilly.

"What are you drawing, princess?"

"Stupid Felix! It's the world's most beautiful Lilly!"

I was currently drawing while lying down with my belly facing down.

Drawing is good for kids my age.

Honestly, my drawing was so bad they could ask but I've been mad at Felix these days. The word stupid came out my mouth from my heart by an accident.

"Ah, I know this one. It's his majesty, right?"

Felix's mood dropped until he regained it seeing the other person I was drawing.

"Beep! Wrong."

Heh. But you're actually right.

"I will give this to you, Felix oppa."

(I will start using oppa as brother and unni as sister.)

Felix slowly received the paper and looked at his face on the paper. Then he spoke words expressing that this is not believable.

"Is it perhaps me?"

Wait, what kind of 'perhaps'? Is it 'perhaps' for me drawing it so well, or a 'perhaps' cause he sees it ugly and refuses this dude to be him?

"Really.... Really, thank you very much, princess! I will keep this as my favorite treasure."

Hmm hmm, no need to be so touched.

"Lilly, Lilly! It's a gift."

"Oh my. Am I this beautiful?"

"Beautiful than all the races from the ground to the sky!"

I also gave a gift to Lilly who was just watching us from the side. Let's see. Is it time to draw that bast*rd Claude now? I started humming and happily drawing Claude. Hue hehehe. I'll draw you the ugliest. You're welcome.

"His majesty would be happy if he gets that as his gift."

Uhh, no? I'm not giving this to him. He might come to kill me that I drew him this ugly. Besides, he wouldn't even accept it anyways.

"Done!"

"It's a drawing of his majesty and princess playing together, isn't it?"

Nope, it's me doing a drop kick at Claude. I might look pitiful from releasing my stress from doing things like this but there's no better way.

Let's see. Are there no more people to draw? I thought about it for a while holding a colored-pencil and started to draw a person who just came up in my head.

But I can't go any further after drawing a round head. Umm. So, the hair and the eyes are these colors.... And the hair length.... is it this long? Or this long?

"Lilly, Lilly."

"Yes, princess."

I ended up calling for Lilly after thinking about it for myself a little.

"How did mom look like?"

It was as if everything stopped for a moment.

"I want to draw mom, but Atti doesn't know mommy's face."

Felix and Lilly froze but soon gained back their consciousness from my statement after.

"Is mom's hair straight straight like Lilly? Or wavy wavy?"

Lilly soon smiled and replied.

"It was light golden hair, wavy like the ocean just like Anatasia, princess."

"Hehh. Was it this long?"

"It was a little shorter than that."

I asked questions like her facial shape, the bangs, the locations of the eye and her height and Lilly answered them all for me.

Felix just stood watching us since he couldn't find the timing to join our conversation.

Hmm. Great. Now I think I can draw her.

When the image was forming in my head, I started drawing again with the colored pencils.

"She was very beautiful. Just like princess Athanasia."

"Like Atti?"

I already knew but Lilly seemed to really like Diana. She was looking at me with the eyes that seem to imagine her.

Anyways, in <Lovely Princess>, it described that she was very very beautiful, and I was curious how much pretty she was.

Of course, people say that I look really alike to Diana but it was too much to imagine her face with my baby face.

Ah, now that I think about it, even that cold and emotionless Claude fell in love with her and had a baby princess.

Mmm. So, she's that beautiful...

"I want to see her, too."

Wahh. I'm so curious, I want to see!

I wanted to see her once face to face, but it's a shame that I can't. I might be able to see Diana when I look into the mirror around 10 years later but that's only if I'm alive by then. Sniff.

"...."

"...."

...Hmm? Isn't is a bit awkward right now? What is this heavy silence?

I looked up with knowing nothing and was shocked at their faces. Lilly and Felix were making a very weird face at me.

Felix was opening and closing his mouth several times as if he wanted to say something but ended up not saying a word, and Lilly was panicking as she was slightly shaking.

And soon I was able to figure out why.

Wait, did I say that I want to see Diana out loud...?

If then, this situation was understandable. They couldn't just ignore a 5 years-old saying she wants to see her mother whom she has never met before. Gasp. But that wasn't on purpose to make you guys act like this!

I blinked twice before I started giggling.

"Oppa and Lilly's face look weird!" (Staring that she doesn't like their expressions.)

"...."

"Just like a round goblin in the storybook yesterday!"

Can we stop this situation? I'm making fun of you right now. What will we do about this awkwardness! Ahh I feel like hiding.

"Mmm, drawing is not fun anymore. I wanna play outside."

Oof. This can't go any longer. Run away!!

I couldn't endure this pressure anymore so I let go of the paper and the colored pencils and stood up.

"Princess...."

Lilly and Felix called out for me, but I just left the room before things gets any weirder.

* * *

The two acted carefully around me for a few days after the incident on the other day. Of course, they were trying not to show it but am I just a normal 5 years old girl?

But I ignored it. I mean what can I do after not ignoring it. If they start explaining about Diana, it'll just be awkward since she is not my real mom. So just act how you usually do. Waaaah.

The 2 stopped me to talk but when they did, I just smiled bright and moved away. They gave up for now though.

But today, Felix who left right after lunch, came back to my room an hour later and called for Lilly.

They left me quietly who was reading Obelia's history book.

Wait.... I felt shiver down my spine. My instinct told me that their conversation was going to be something important. Also, that if something goes wrong, it can also be very dangerous!

I hopped off the chair and silently walked towards the door Lilly and Felix went through. Fortunately, Lilly left the door slightly open so I was able to hear them.

"I asked if there were any video stored in the emperor palace but they said they owned none."

"Is that so.... That's a shame."

But the video storage magic Felix said about caught my very interest.

Ah, right. Magic exists here. Seeing magic happen with my 2 eyes was one of my biggest dreams! I totally forgot about it. I was too busy living and trying to not get killed.
