People Aren't Meant to Be Fixed! (4 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 11
“I can’t get caught like this!”
I stomped my feet so hard they made a sharp clapping sound.
‘If I get caught like this, I might have to keep playing with them!’
I summoned every ounce of speed I had—enough to make my hair flutter wildly in the wind—and thought, since I’d already started, I might as well win outright.
“Your Highness!”
So I fled desperately—but out of nowhere, a rustling sound came from behind, and a maid appeared.
‘!’
Not just one, but two of them.
“Your Highness, it’s dangerous to run like that!”
I glanced back for just a few seconds as the suddenly reappearing maids startled me, but that was all. I had no intention whatsoever of stopping my race with Carlisle.
If anything, my heart only grew more impatient.
Because I feared that if I let the maids stop me, I’d lose.
“?”
“It’s the Crown Princess!”
I faintly heard the Fleur Siblings’ voices near my ear, but I let the words drift past me.
“Wheee!”
What on earth found so much fun and excitement in this? Those kids were utterly incomprehensible.
“Your Highness, you’ll trip at this rate!”
Meanwhile, the maids, apparently tireless, kept chasing after me, worried I might get hurt.
They exerted themselves so much that their dress hems billowed dramatically—but their efforts were in vain, for I had no intention of stopping.
Thud!
Yet perhaps my recklessness brought misfortune upon me—my foot caught on a stone.
Crash!
Carlisle and I tumbled together, falling neatly onto the grass. I landed face-first with both arms flung out pathetically—there couldn’t be a more shameful sight.
“Oww….”
A delayed wave of pain made me whimper before I finally pushed myself upright.
Checking where it hurt, I found one knee throbbing numbly.
‘All that running for nothing.’
I clicked my tongue inwardly as I examined the injury.
“Are you badly hurt?”
Carlisle, who’d fallen with me, seemed to forget his own pain at the sight of my injury. He immediately checked whether I was alright.
Thump!
Soon after, maids appeared on my right—and shortly after that, a familiar face showed up on my left.
“Your Highness! Are you alright?”
A servant, frowning with worry, suddenly scooped me up.
It was none other than Eshian Balduur Ingelbert—Jeff’s right-hand man and closest confidant.
‘Why did he suddenly pop up? Where did he leave Jeff?’
It seemed odd for a close aide to wander away from the one he served.
“Your Highness, are you alright?”
“Y-yeah… I’m fine.”
I answered quickly and looked straight at Eshian.
“By the way, why are you here? Where’s Father?”
“Ah… um… well, you see…”
He began evasively, averting his eyes.
His suspiciously shifty behavior only sharpened my curiosity.
“As soon as the meeting ended, His Majesty insisted he must see Your Highness right away…”
Eshian finally offered a slow explanation.
According to him, Jeff had clutched his head with both hands in the conference hall, muttering anxiously about needing to see Darling, before dramatically collapsing in a faint—
his face deathly pale, as if he might stop breathing at any moment.
‘Ugh… So that’s why he sent Eshian to fetch me.’
How pathetic. I sighed deeply in exasperation.
“Alright, let’s go now.”
That marked the end of our playtime. I looked at Ronowe, Beris, and Carlisle.
“Hide-and-seek ends here for today.”
At my announcement that the curtain had fallen, disappointment and reluctance flickered in the children’s innocent eyes.
Even a soft sigh escaped them—they’d clearly been having quite the fun.
‘Oh right, Carlisle fell too, didn’t he?’
What can you do about it, anyway? I was about to turn away indifferently when I remembered Carlisle had tumbled with me.
“Carlisle, shall we go together and put on some medicine?”
“I’m fine. I wasn’t seriously injured.”
Though I’d kindly offered, Carlisle politely declined without showing any sign of pain.
He bowed his head courteously to express his refusal.
‘So composed. Carlisle, as my future right hand, you mustn’t get hurt.’
Watching his calm composure, I reaffirmed my resolve.
“Your Highness.”
Not long after, Sasha abruptly appeared between Carlisle and me.
“I believe I must go ahead—my father is waiting for me.”
“Alright. Then let’s go too.”
Thus, we each went our separate ways.
Thud… thud…
I entered the palace with Eshian to meet Jeff. The path to the chamber where Jeff awaited me remained exactly as it had been in my past life as emperor.
The wallpaper—woven with crimson, beige, and gold—along with the ornate decorations and chandeliers, felt cozy as sunlight streamed through the windows.
“Just a moment.”
Bored of idle walking, I glanced around and spotted a portrait that instantly captured my attention.
‘That’s my portrait.’
Indeed—it was a portrait of me from my previous life as emperor.
‘All that insistence on hanging my youthful likeness sure paid off!’
Staring intently at it stirred old memories and fresh emotion.
“This is His Late Majesty the Emperor.”
Eshian began his explanation, gazing at my past self with a respectful smile.
“A great sovereign who rang victory bells across countless battlefields.”
Though Eshian spoke proudly, his words barely registered.
No—his voice didn’t fully reach my ears.
‘I already know all that without being told. I was the handsomest of them all.’
I was already lost in admiration of my former glory.
“In the distant future, when Your Highness becomes emperor, His Majesty will surely hang your portrait here as well.”
Eshian politely gestured toward an empty space on the wall, and I imagined Jeff’s portrait there—adorned with a crown,
robed in the finest garments and precious jewels, the image of a magnificent emperor.
‘Hmm…’
The vision seemed quite fitting, and I nodded in approval.
Bang!
Just then—
“My Darling!”
The door right before me flew open, and Jeff burst out.
“?!”
In an instant, he snatched me from Eshian’s arms.
“At last, I see your face again!”
Tears welled in Jeff’s eyes as he affectionately rubbed his cheek against my head, overwhelmed by emotion.
‘Aaargh…!’
Unable to push him away, I let out a silent scream inside.
“Smooch~.”
Jeff even planted a kiss on my cheek, overflowing with fatherly affection.
‘S-someone, help me!’
Utterly unaccustomed to this, I broke into a cold sweat.
“Darling’s injured!”
Jeff soon noticed my wound and jolted in alarm, eyes wide.
“What on earth happened? My poor daughter—how much pain must you be in!”
Tears brimmed again in Jeff’s eyes; he acted as though I were on death’s door.
“Surely it’s not a broken leg? We must summon a physician at once!”
Why are you making such a fuss?
“Summon a physician immediately!”
“Yes, Your Majesty.”
His melodramatic panic finally drew a sigh from me.
‘Here we go again.’
Ugh, so tiresome. I tugged slightly at Jeff’s sleeve, frowning.
“I’m alright.”
“But we can’t be too careful, can we?”
Daughter-obsessed Jeff remained stubbornly insistent despite my reassurance.
His face wore his anxiety and worry plainly—his thoughts clear as day.
“I’ll just put some ointment on it.”
I blurted out flatly, staring at Jeff’s restless expression.
“But still…”
“Ah! Just ointment, I said.”
I firmly patted Jeff’s chest to emphasize my point.
“Seeing your composure like this…”
Jeff, whose voice had faltered for a moment, quickly brightened.
“Only strengthens my conviction that you’ll grow into a magnificent sovereign!”
Crying one moment, laughing the next—was something wrong with him? Jeff, now beaming, praised me warmly.
‘Does this guy even have a cure for his delusions?’
I leaned against Jeff’s chest, hiding my grimace.
“Let’s hurry back and apply the ointment first.”
Still smiling, he urged immediate treatment and held me even more carefully.
“Nonetheless, summon the physician anyway.”
“Yes.”
On our way somewhere, Jeff quietly gave Eshian an instruction.
After that, we proceeded in silence toward our new destination.
At some point, the palace interior changed—the atmosphere grew cool and crisp.
‘Who’s that person beside Sasha?’
I spotted someone approaching from the opposite direction. One face I recognized; the other was unfamiliar—a tall, brown-haired man with distinguished bearing, wearing monocle glasses.
‘With brown hair like that, he might be Duke Vladimir.’
I decided to stay quiet.
“The Shield of the South, Vladimir, greets the Messenger of Light.”
Moments later, the tall man offered a gentle smile and introduced himself with a respectful bow.
“Duke Vladimir, are you heading back already?”
Jeff chuckled warmly in greeting.
“Yes. It’s time I returned to my domain to attend to my people. I regret I cannot remain longer at this meaningful gathering.”
Smiling amiably, Duke Vladimir stepped behind Sasha.
“By His Majesty’s grace, I have learned much during my stay in the capital. Henceforth, I shall strive to serve Her Highness the Crown Princess well.”
Harmony itself—Jeff and the Vladimirs exchanged warm and cordial words.
“Ah, regarding the statue Your Majesty commissioned, it should be completed in about half a moon.”
What statue? My lips twitched, itching to ask.
“Faster than expected. Then, travel safely.”
But no further details followed. The exchange concluded pleasantly. Still nestled in Jeff’s arms, I waited for Duke Vladimir and Sasha to pass by.
Just as they moved past Jeff and me—
Whoosh—
I gasped in shock. A sinister, chilling force—dark and crimson—prickled my senses sharply.
I couldn’t help but clamp both hands over my mouth.
“Darling, why suddenly? Does your injury hurt badly?”
Misunderstanding again, Jeff’s eyes welled with tears.
‘What was that just now?’
Forgetting to answer, I pressed one hand over my heart—its frantic pounding had quickened considerably.
‘It was fleeting, but I definitely felt the aura of the dead.’
I fixed my gaze on Duke Vladimir and Sasha’s retreating backs.
‘Why…?’
A small ripple kept spreading inside my chest.
