It might not be, but the mention of two people made me think it might be those two. The thought of the Emperor and Empress of the Empire appearing in ridiculous disguises was embarrassing.

“The two Fairy Kings are making their rounds.”

But it actually happened.

‘It’s really Jeff and Hecate?’

Luckily, they only wore masks that covered their eyes and nose, so I recognized them quickly. Their hair and clothing were similar to usual, so there was no confusion.

‘They’re really doubling down today.’

I thought they were crazy. I was wondering what they were doing at a time when they should be busy with official duties.

“Wow, it’s awesome!”

“Is it really the Fairy Kings?”

Those naive ones. I clicked my tongue inwardly, watching Ronowe and Beris rush up with inquisitive eyes.

“Yes~ We are the Fairy Kings!”

“We’ve come to give rewards to the children who study hard.”

Whether they had planned it or not, Jeff and Hecate changed their voice tones slightly and put on a comical act with various gestures.

“A prize?”

“Is it cake?”

Was food all that filled their heads? I felt steam rising.

“Ha ha, unfortunately, it’s not cake.”

Meanwhile, Jeff picked up a pink balloon that was rolling nearby.

“Instead, shall we have fun with this friend?”

His tone was quite disgusting. I watched Jeff and Hecate teach Beris and Carlyle how to blow up balloons. Not particularly wanting to join in, I just picked up a random balloon and threw it or kicked it.

Pshh[Dash].

In the midst of that, a sudden deflating sound rang out, and I turned to see Carlyle watching a shriveled balloon fly into the air with a baffled face. Beris, who was beside him, just looked amazed, and the two of them had quite the expressions.

“Your Majesty~ Look at me!”

“What’s…… what’s with your hair?”

Ronowe, who had been playing well on his own, suddenly approached.

Whatever he had done, he had rubbed a blue balloon against his head, causing static electricity, and the balloon stuck to his forelock without falling, a ridiculous sight.

Why on earth did he find this so enjoyable, laughing and reveling in it?

“Your Majesty, try it too!”

No, thanks. I backed away.

“I don’t like……”

I tried to express my intentions clearly, lest he misunderstand.

Rub, rub[Dash].

Without patience, Ronowe acted before I finished speaking.

With a bright expression, he rubbed the extra balloon he brought against my hair.

I naturally let out an inner scream of horror and was absentmindedly grabbed by him, dragged here and there.

Finally, we went to a place filled with large balloons on the floor, where we jumped with enough force to make a boing sound, and I slipped and bounced out.

Embarrassingly, I ended up rolling on the floor.

“Ouch…….”

Of course, when I fell, a pained cry followed.

When I finally regained my senses, Bobby was staring at me with a puzzled face.

“Oh my!”

And then Hecate, who seemed to have noticed from afar, came running.
“Are you okay? Does it hurt a lot?”

Hecate, sweating profusely, forgot her act and spoke in her usual tone.

She seemed very surprised and unsure what to do.

“Yes, it’s a bit cold, but bearable.”

I fell lightly and wasn’t hurt. Of course, there was pain, but it wasn’t severe, and it was gradually fading.

“By the way, Fairy Queen, the more I look at you, the more you resemble my mother.”

I spoke indirectly, making sure to lay down the ground first.

I let Hecate know that she had forgotten her act.

“Oh, is that… so?”

She obviously made a surprised expression, but quickly tried to recover.

‘Phew.’

Her awkwardness was so apparent that I sighed inwardly.

‘I’m really sleepy.’

I then felt a wave of fatigue and yawned softly.

I quickly covered my face with my hand, thinking I had made a mistake, but Hecate had already seen it.

“You must be tired.”

“Yes. Maybe because I didn’t take a nap….”

Ah, whatever. I resigned myself, thinking I had already spilled the water.

“What? You didn’t take a nap today?”

The reaction exploded in an unexpected place.

“You must never overdo it!”

Her ears were unnecessarily bright. I got up abruptly and looked at Jeff, reacting vehemently, feeling a headache. There was no need for such an overreaction.

“My lords, I’m really sorry, but it seems like we have to stop playing.”

Jeff, with an urgent face, stretched one hand forward and played along.

“Her Highness doesn’t look well, so let’s have a more enjoyable game next time!”

Why are you deciding on your own? I was dumbfounded and stayed still.

The reason I didn’t get irritated was that it was convenient to send the children back on their own, apart from the disbelief.

“Byebye~.”

That’s how I parted ways with Eunjoongitdujoongi, Calile, and Sasha.

“Oh yeah.”

Even though I had said goodbye several times, I said the same words to Beris, who kept turning and turning to say farewell.

In the meantime, Poppy seemed to like the balloon so much that it stuck to its body as big as itself and wandered around.

‘I can finally live.’

I breathed a sigh of relief as the children disappeared.
