“Stop crying now. I’ll give you a hint.”

Facing an unfavorable situation and bursting into tears is truly befitting of a child. I felt irritation rising and covered my ears with both hands. I felt like I would faint from the endurance, so I thought I had to do something.

Soon, Ronowe stopped crying and wiped her eyes with the back of her hand. It seemed that her emotions were calmed by the promise of a clue.

“Really?”

“Yes.”

Phew, now I can live. I sighed and folded my arms. Ronowe’s attitude changed in a flash, and though she was still sniffling, she no longer looked sad.

“I’m ready, Your Highness!”

Rather, her determination to succeed in word games flared up, and she clenched both hands with an unchildlike resolute face.

Somehow, I had to keep my word, so I propped up my chin and sank into thought.

‘Right. Words starting with ‘bon’…’

Several examples flashed through my mind.

‘…Wait.’

I found the answer quickly, but something was wrong.

‘It would be strange if I told her a word starting with ‘bon’.’

Like Ronowe, I also appeared to be a very young child, though I wasn’t.

‘What’s an easy word?’

I tried to think of an easy word starting with ‘bon’ without causing suspicion or looking suspicious.

“Just a moment. I think I remember something…”

It was a moment of grumbling inside, thinking it was a new kind of torture.

“Ah! I thought of a word that starts with ‘bon’!”

Ronowe raised both arms towards the sky and shouted.

“Isn’t it amazing? I thought of it faster than Your Highness~.”

Beris happily joined in, unaware of anything, and Carlile and Sasha clapped and congratulated her.

“Okay, okay. Tell me quickly.”

Only a few minutes had passed, but the feeling of having wasted serious contemplation felt vain. I felt deflated, wondering what I had done.

“The essence… Books always emphasize the importance of essence.”

I was stunned that a 3yearold knew that word.

‘That kid is not smart enough to understand the words in a book.’

It was surprising that Ronowe, who hadn’t reincarnated with memories of a previous life like me, casually spat out a profound word, even though she was still lisping.

‘Well, that makes sense, she picked a book on warfare because it had a pretty cover last time.’

Moreover, Ronowe is usually as dull as a rock. She occasionally shows unexpected behavior, but that was it.

“Now it’s Your Highness’s turn!”

“Your Highness’s turn!”

These two are making a fuss together. I made a bored face and said,

“How about we play something else?”

“I like this one too.”

“Me too…”

These kids!

I tried to play along in moderation, but the word game was too boring, and the kids might cry for hints, so I decided to be firm.

“I don’t like it because it’s complicated.”

Honestly, education disguised as play once or twice, but since I’m not a kid, I wanted to escape quickly in a situation that seemed unlikely.

“I need a rest.”

Ronowe and Beris, who caused the most noise and seemed to enjoy the word game, made sad faces, but I ignored them.

“How about going to the library together? We can read books quietly and rest.”

As I sprawled out on a chair, thinking that whatever happens happens, Sasha cautiously suggested.

“Yes, Your Highness! Let’s go to the library together!”

“I want to read the book I saw last time!”

No way. As the atmosphere started to turn against me, I reluctantly moved my body, slouching.

“…Okay.”

If I stubbornly insisted on resting here, I would become one of them, and it would be better to be quiet rather than noisy, so I reluctantly agreed.

“Ronowe, is the book you mentioned the one you picked last time?”

On the way to the library, I asked Ronowe, who was jumping around like a rabbit.

“Yes!”
I told Lillith to keep it safe. I was worried about what to do if she sulked again, saying that she couldn’t find the book she was looking for, and looked sad.

“The book has been borrowed by someone else for a moment. Let’s look at another book first.”

“Understood!”

Seemingly content with the new book, since he’s fond of reading, it doesn’t seem to bother him at all.

‘I’m relieved.’

I walked in step with Carlaile, Sasha, and the middleaged, praying for good behavior in the library.

‘They still haven’t noticed my presence.’

It’s been a long time since I’ve come down to the human world by the command of God.

God was worried about the presence of a demon around the original human, and it’s all because when the original human was tormented by the demon in the past, God broke the demon’s wings and made them mortal enemies.

However, I, too, would not stand by if someone tormented the being that I cherished and put the most effort into creating, so I silently decided to carry out my duty.

‘I need to take a closer look.’

Thus, hiding in the shade of the trees, I quietly flapped my wings, intensely watching the original human and his companions, and quickly followed them.

Ordinary humans probably can’t see me, but in case someone does, for safety, I made my body transparent and headed to the library.
