However, judging by what Jeff is doing now, there might be a table full of potato dishes for breakfast in the future. Hecate, perhaps taken aback by the mention of increasing potato dishes, voluntarily stepped in to persuade.

“Your Majesty, Dazzling is still young, so there might be a lot of leftover food.”

“Come to think of it, that’s true. Then let’s consider what happened earlier as if it never did.”

Yes, a truly excellent decision. After that, I alternated between meat dishes, vegetables, fruits, and potatoes, filling my stomach sufficiently. Later, I heard that guests would be coming to see me in the imperial palace today.

“Oh, has it already been two days?”

“Yes, Your Highness.”

Returning to the bedroom, I wiped my teeth, and after receiving the hairstyling from Miranda and Hailey, I arranged my hair in a new style. Some hair near the ear, shaped like barley, was separately braided, and the part divided into two strands was tied with a yellow ribbon.

I left the ribbon beneath without braiding it separately, maintaining the appearance of the wavy hair. The part with a brush was particularly long and resembled a long broomstick.

“There’s an unusually large amount of lilac color in today’s outfit.”

In the dressing room, as usual, I quickly changed into my clothes, stood in front of a full-length mirror, and examined my overall appearance. Now that I am the heir to the throne, I had to pay attention not only to my inner self but also to my outward appearance.

“Arrange yellow and white appropriately, but the main color, lilac, is well-matched with the snowflake-patterned dress.”

“The ribbon and hair tie used to tie Your Highness’s hair also contain lilac and yellow.”

Miranda and Hailey, long-serving maids who had been dyed by Jeff and Hecate, said that these two colors suited me better than a too deep purple. However, Your Highness said that anything I wear looks good, and suggested that someday, I should try a dark purple dress. I agreed to consider it when the opportunity arises.

“Later, when someone comes from the Fleurage, bring them to the study instead of the reception room. If you don’t read during the day, you might stay up late again, so surprise the kids a bit and do some reading.”

“Understood, Your Highness.”

If I leave them waiting in the reception room, they might whine later, so I decided to call Ronowe and Beris to a place where they first met, as it was a place where they were likely to run around. Originally, young children become busy exploring and looking around in unfamiliar places, so I planned to have the children read while they were preoccupied so that I could finish reading quickly.

“Princess!”

A few hours later.

“We missed you!”

As expected, Ronowe and Beris rushed in as soon as the study door opened, making a scary noise.

“I wanted to see you more than Beris did!”

“Yeah, yeah.”
After a long time, the kids came to me at a rapid pace, unable to contain their excitement like puppies, going back and forth in front of me at a dizzying speed before starting to spin around in circles. Seeing them, my head throbbed.

‘I should have handled this better.’

If I had known it would get this chaotic, I would have considered forcing myself to lie down for some rest, pretending to replenish my energy even if sleep didn’t come.

“You missed us, right?”

Ronowe shook his body rhythmically from side to side and laughed widely, pressing his head against Beris. The little troublemaker, who seemed like he would push people into a whirlwind at the speed of light, became quiet for a moment, and it seemed like he might survive.

“We know everything.”

Then Beris, with confidence, felt awkward, thinking that I must have wanted to see them as much as they wanted to see me for the past two days. It wasn’t true, but I considered teasing them by saying so, then stopped, as it might make them cry so much that I’d have to put them on a boat.

Since they couldn’t control the outburst of emotions, it was necessary to refrain from unnecessarily causing disasters. I didn’t want to be the bad person if they threw a fit, you know.

“Princess, how have you been?”

“Me… well, I’ve been doing fine.”

Ronowe rushed forward and grabbed my two hands, then leaned in and stepped back, laughing cheerfully.

When Freyrie was like this, Beris became more cautious due to something he said before. On the other hand, when Ronowe was like this, it was amazing that he continued to like me just as much, despite me never consistently treating him kindly.

As the first human to be called ‘Paradise,’ the second race of humanity once said something when I changed a little. But even if I whined or sobbed briefly, Ronowe always forgot about the built-up emotions as if washing them away and treated me kindly as before. Beris was the same.

“There were various things going on.”

In response to the question of how I had been, the events of the past two days passed through my mind like pieces of paper blown away by the wind.

‘I’m not a special being like you. I’m just a microscopic piece of soul given by the universe in my past life.’
