LIGHTNOVELWORLD Baby Princess’ Survival Diary
Chapter 27
Because Princess Enotis was a member of the Duke family, so there were many people around her.
She smiled at people and turned to me. No one thought it was strange because it was a natural behavior. She approached me with a smile. When I saw the holy stone around her neck, I looked at Driane then Driane shook its head. It seemed to mean that it would be safe if it came a little closer. “Greeting, I’m Serina Enotis.” She bowed slightly to greet my brother. My brother put me and Jerion on the floor and stood up and bowed his head slightly. I was taught to say hello the same way, but my brother didn’t seem to want to continue. I looked at Driane. Driane was looking at Princess Enotis without moving. “I heard that Princess Biherville has divine powers. I also have divine powers, so I’d like to talk to you. Is it okay?” “I don’t think it’s something to ask me.” “Excuse me. Will you be okay, Princess?” Only then did Princess Enotis turn to ask me as if she could see me. It was honorific, but I felt strangely bad. My brother’s expression hardened. My brother was about to say something, but I took a step forward. Driane’s hair stood up. “Right.” It was this opportunity to be as close as possible. In addition, if the two of us talk alone, we will be able to stay together longer. Then I thought Driane could work more comfortably. “Lione.” I looked up at my brother and smiled clearly. My brother bowed down and whispered in my ear. “Don’t hold back. Lione Biherville.” “Yesh.” (Yes.) I followed Princess Enotis, who straightened her back and took the lead. Behind me were Nadia and Driane, my brother and Jerion who never took their eyes off me. And there was a father. Thinking like that, there was nothing to be afraid of. ****** The Princess came out to the balcony and closed the door, and sat down on the sofa on the balcony. I was going to the other side to sit face to face, and I heard a snorting sound. “Princess. We must not forget that the Princess is from commoners.” My brother told me not to be patient and hold back. I bit my lip slightly, then let it go and opened my mouth. “I’m Biherville nowh.” (I’m Biherville now.) When I sat face to face on the sofa and spoke, the face of the Princess cracked a little. I don’t know who went inside her, but now that I see it, the feeling is very different from the original Princess I saw from a distance. Driane flew away and floated on the princess’s shoulder. A little closer to the princess. Fortunately, the Princess didn’t seem to notice the subtle movements that were barely noticeable. “So—” The words of the Princess began. At the same time, I felt my divine power escaping. It escaped differently than usual. The Princess said something, but I couldn’t hear it. Driane took exactly as much of the divine power as my limit. I almost stumbled for a moment, but I tried to straighten myself. As I looked up at the Princess again, the corner of her mouth went up to one side. “So you know it?” The way the Princess speaks has changed. It was about time that Driane was almost done with the work was done. Driane, who put something tattered into the holy stone, returned to me. The princess tucked her hair behind. “What did you do here?” I got goosebumps at the Princess’s words. I thought she would find out slowly, but I didn’t think she would know so soon. My body was hardened. Driane returned with the holy stone and touched my knees if I was okay. She continued to talk slowly. “…Whath are you thalking abouth?” (…What are you talking about?) The Princess snorted at my answer and said. “How did you know?” “….” “There’s someone in here.” The Princess looked at my expression quietly and said. The appearance of showing minimal courtesy was nowhere to be seen. The Princess looked at me for a long time and leaned against the backrest. Still, she didn’t forget to look outside. “My divine power was at the bottom, but it rose again. You did it, right?” Driane tapped me. Driane floated in the air and nodded. “….” The Princess smiled and said. “I think I’ll use it for a few years. Thank you.” The Princess reached out to my head. The Princess still smiled and continued her words as I moved my body and avoided it. “Do you know what’s in here?” “….” Driane shook its head. I also shook my head nervously. A moment of relief passed by the look on the Princess’s expression. “You’re nice. You give divine power to people you don’t know. Did I look pitiful for being inside?” Driane nodded. I nodded along, too. “—Haha!” The Princess laughed out loud. The Princess, who looked outside, stood up from her seat. “Now if you know what it is, you’ll know who’s behind me.” “….” “It’s better not to talk about it, because no one will believe it.” That was right. Under the current circumstances, it was impossible to prove that the Princess was not the real Princess, nor was the involvement of the demon race. “I won’t ask how the princess found out about this thing, because I don’t need to know.” The Princess got up from her seat and bowed out to make eye contact. “Because we’re gambling on time.” “….” “Ah, do you know the meaning of gambling?” I came to see the words of the Princess laughing at me. To be honest, I didn’t know the exact meaning of gambling. It was a word I had seen, but had not yet been taught by Shane. However, as if passing by, I remembered what the knights said and spit it out. “I knowh. It’s a ghame.” (I know. It’s a game.) “That’s right.” The Princess smiled and continued to talk. “If that thing wake up before the Princess grows up, it’s my victory. If it’s the opposite, it’s the victory of the Princess. No, to be honest, I don’t know if you can beat ‘that person’ just because the Princess all grown up.” “….” The Princess looked over me as if she were measuring. [Don’t be nervous. She can’t recognize the divinepower of the baby, nor can she do anything to you here.] Driane whispered. I didn’t nod because I thought the Princess would notice. “I don’t know what the princess thinks, but I’ve already won the bet for my life. I don’t know if it’s a divine power, but if it’s a gamble, I’m the best.” The princess continued to talk, covering her earrings again with her hair. “It’s unfortunate for Princess, but this is a game that Princess loses.” If you don’t try, you won’t know the results. After reading this thought on my face, the princess smiled briefly. “By the time that thing wakes up, there will be only one Duke left in this empire. Well, will he go down in history as a loser?” With me biting my lips, the Princess smiled and approached the door. “Ah.” The princess, who opened the door, looked back on me as if she had remembered something while going outside. The princess smiled and said. “Good luck.” I bit my lips hard. ****** I didn’t remember how the rest of the party time passed. I vaguely remembered that I greeted and moved according to etiquette as I learned it. Driane was telling my father about my condition from time to time. When the time came when it was really hard to hold out, my father lifted me up and asked people for understanding and went out of the party. “Are you okay?” “Yesh…” (Yes…) “Go in and rest today. Your complexion doesn’t look good.” My father hugged me and walked to the room. Driane and Nadia were quiet, too. Rather than being physically struggling, the last glance I saw of her remained in my mind for a long time and tormented me. I’ve received the gaze that means low and dirty a hundred times and a thousand times, but I’ve never received such a gaze. The Princess didn’t even see me as a competitor. It was an eye to see a bug the size of a fingernail struggling to beat her. To the Princess, I was a bug. A bug that doesn’t interfere with one’s plan but wiggles annoyingly. “Lady, did you have a hard time? You don’t look good.” “…I wanth tho shweep.” (…I want to sleep.) “Yes. Let’s hurry up and change you into pajamas.” After putting on pajamas, Jessie covered me with a blanket and left the room. As Jessie’s footsteps moved away, I sat up from the bed. I turned on the light and listened to the dictionary. It was to find the meaning of gambling. “Beththing on each othher for money or financesh.” (Betting on each other for money or finances.) As I read aloud, Driane and Nadia came to the side. [Yeah.] When I looked at Driane while looking at the meaning of gambling, Driane nodded. I bit my lips. If so, this was a gamble between Biherville and Enotis. It turned out that I was a five-year-old opponent in a huge gambling game that would control the empire. It wasn’t incomprehensible that the princess ignored me. However, I was angry that I couldn’t respond to such gaze and tone. I realized that the feeling of resentment was the feeling I felt at this time. In addition, she disregard Biherville. “Shhe ignoredh Biherville.” (She ignored Biherville.) At what I said, Driane and Nadia nodded. “I won’th thowerathe her for ignoring Biherville.” (I won’t tolerate her for ignoring Beherville.) [Right! Let’s punish her!] I nodded at Nadia’s words. I could tolerate her ignoring me, but I couldn’t stand her ignoring Biherville. The disappearance of the Duke didn’t mean simply making the Duke into the Count. The disappearance of the Duke’s family means that they committed treason or lost the war in the territory. Either way, the members of the Duke family are not safe. A spark splashed from my eyes. While calming my anger, I remembered that I didn’t ask what happened to the real Princess. “Whath abouth thhe reaw princeshsh?” (What about the real Princess?) Driane said, bringing the Holy Stone. [She’s sleeping in here. She had lost her power to the point where her soul rumbles, so she’ll have to rest for a long time.] I asked Driane while putting the ring-shaped holy stone on my finger. “Ung. Do you thhinw thhe fawe princeshsh wnowsh thhath ith’sh a fawe?” (Ung. Do you think the fake princess knows that it’s a fake?l [I don’t think so. If we look at it that way, she would think that we only noticed that she was corrupted and joined hands with the demons.] “Then shhe doeshn’th even wnow thhath thhe reaw princeshsh ish here?” (Then she doesn’t even know that the real princess is here?) [That’s right.] Fortunately, when I remembered the soul of the fallen princess, the fake princess’ eyes also came to mind. “Driane. I’m going tho win.” (Driane. I’m going to win.) [Right. Baby will win] [That’s right!] I smiled at the words of Driane and Nadia and hugged the two. I clenched my fist and closed my eyes. If what a fake princess wants is gambling, I will gladly participate and win.
