The Princess is Evil Chapter 5

 

The day Leona chose her ‘sword,’ the imperial family flipped out. It was not just because the Princess chose the necromancer, Cage. It wasn’t because Harriet, the Aide, was so stunned that he collapsed. It was because of the Princess’ mana leakage. Harriet, who woke up again later, ran straight to the Palace of Antiquities.

“Was it your wish?”

Said Harriet, slamming the door of the office wide open.

“Did you do it, your majesty?”

The emperor frowned. He took off the glasses he was wearing and looked towards Harriet. Harriet swallowed involuntarily.

“That doesn’t scare me.”

He was scared, no matter how you looked at him. Ck, the emperor clicked his tongue.

“What’s going on again?”

“What’s going on? Didn’t you hear what everyone is saying?”

“It is unnecessary to listen to the words of lower beings.”

Harriet looked at the emperor with a tired face.

“The Princess’ Leona’s mana was leaking.”

The emperor laughed. He thought that there was no way that a child’s mana could leak. Embarrassed by the emperor’s attitude, Harriet continued quickly.

“5 Star mana was running through her body. Of course it was Cage who noticed and, thankfully, she acted quickly. Her life would have been at stake otherwise.”

Cage… it seemed as if the Princess has chosen the necromancer. Did she mean to choose her? Indeed, I am not disappointed. The emperor’s mouth went up at an angle.

“You’re smiling? The Princess almost died!”

The emperor raised his hand from the armrest to move his hair away from his face. Chills ran down Harriet’s spine from the menacing sensation that came from this laid back gesture. Harriet gulped.

“So, what did you want to say?”

“Did you put the mana into the Princess’ body?”

Harriet’s guess was valid. No one would ever think that the Princess’ magic came from herself. Harriet was one of the few who knew that the emperor met and threatened the Princess the day before. The emperor clasped his hands.

“Harry.”

“…please tell me.”

“I don’t have to kill the children with my own hands.”

He’s crazy, Harry barely resisted the urge to blurt out.

“She has already finished choosing her sword so her life isn’t in my hands. It’s in the other princes’”

Harriet trembled with clenched fists.

“That’s the problem! That’s it! Aren’t you throwing me out to die of guilt for not being able to protect such a cute and lovely lady?”

“Protect?”

“Yes! She’s the only cute and lovely princess in an imperial family which is full of terrible guys! Hasn’t your majesty even seen the princess? Even so, you’re still driving the princess out to war? You bad man!”

The emperor narrowed his eyes at Harriet. At best, Harriet had only seen the princess once but he was already showing an unfamiliar fervidity towards her. Hmm. The emperor leaned back with his arms folded.

“I gave her the Black Rose Palace.”

“Sire!”

Harriet’s breathing became heavy .

“He, he, he, you’re insane… it can’t be true. Even if you are ruthless, there’s a limit!”

The Black Rose Palace was built during the emperor’s era. It was the place where four young women who had resigned from the fight to succeed were living. Royal siblings who gave up their right to succeed started living together. By the time that ten members were living there, their elder brother, the current emperor, killed them so that he would leave no stone unturned. The first prince also died in the hands of the current emperor. Anyway, the Black Rose Palace had a pretty brutal history. That’s why the royals didn’t want to be assigned to this palace. This isn’t just because of the Palace’s history but also because of the bloodstains and nail marks that remained which would arouse fear. In addition, it was located at the outskirts which made the threat of assassinations higher.

You gave such a gloomy palace to the lovely, pretty and cute Leona. Even if she was protected in the main palace, it wouldn’t be safe, he’s being ridiculous! Harriet became angrier at the sight of the emperor’s straight face.

“It’s really too much! What will you do if she dies!?”

Haa, the emperor sighed deeply. Because of the empress’ will, he gave the Black Rose Palace to Leona. If Harriet knew this, he would just be more frustrated.

“If she dies, it will be her fate.”

“You brute!”

Just as expected, Harriet is in tears and turns his head.

“I’m suspicious of my eyes for the first time. Why do I have someone like you around?”

“Where are you going to find a great aide like me? I really hate you.”

Harriet took a deep breath as he looked at the emperor.

“I’ve decided.”

He clenched his fists with a firm gaze.

“I’m going to protect her. I will protect her.”

Then he ran out of the room. Looking at Harriet’s back, the emperor sat forward and crossed his legs. From the necromancer Cage to the top-notch knight Harriet, Leona has people loyal to her that not even a twelve year old would deserve.

“It’s fun.”

The emperor laughed for a long time. The sound of his laughter was so loud that even the 4th Prince, Nikil Hasis, heard as he was hiding in the hallway. This made Nikil think. Who was the twelfth princess to be able to make his majesty smile like that? What the hell.

‘I’ll see for myself. And if it’s worthless, I’ll kill it.’

Nikil giggled and left the hallway.

So now,

Nikil froze after seeing a cute, small creature in front of his eyes. Her hair looked soft and fluffy, her white skin looked soft like marshmallows and her red eyes glowed like rubies.

“…rabbit.”

It was like seeing a tiny baby rabbit.

“Mya?”

That little voice is so cute. Ugh, my heart. Nikil grabbed his chest without realising it. Harriet was wrong. That gnome couldn’t explain even half of this girl’s cuteness.

“Your highness.”

It was Cage who stopped his thoughts.

“What are you doing?”

Cage asked whilst she was glancing between him and Leona. She stood in front of Leona and covered her face which made Nikil frown.

“What am I doing? I’m doing nothing.”

“You’re threatening the princess.”

“Who? Who’s threatening her?”

“You are.”

“When did I?”

Cage closed her eyes. He is such a cheeky prince. She should kill him. Then Cage’s eyes became sharp.

“What is this doll?”

Nikil asked as he approached the Princess. He frowned at the old rabbit doll which she was holding.

“Even though the princess is young, why did you give her something like this? Throw it away and get a new one!”

I will give you the most expensive and high quality doll. After receiving my gift the princess will be happy, Nikil thought whilst giggling.

“About that… prince.”

It was Lynn who interrupted his fantasy. She dropped her head carefully as she spoke.

“This doll was a gift from the late empress. The princess really cherishes it.”

Nikil’s eyes widened. He looked between the princess and the doll alternatively.

“She’s young.”

“Yes, she hasn’t even turned one yet.”

“She hasn’t even reached one yet but she knows that the doll is a gift from her mother?”

Lynn smiles instead of answering and Nikil bites his lip.

“Small and cute things are uselessly pitiful!”

He digs his feet into the ground. Nikil, who was having a good time with Cage, turned his head and looked at Leona. The Princess was smiling and looked more lovely than any other creature.

“You… it’s you.”

Nikil’s nose flushed.

“Don’t be pitiful, ok?”

Then he held both hands wide open as white light came into it, shining brightly like the sun. The light from his hands went straight towards the princess as it permeated her skin.

“This is a blessing from the sun god. It’s worth too much for you to afford.”

The princess blinked her eyes a few times. Lynn, who was standing next to him, whispered quickly.

“My lady, this is Nikil, your older brother. He just blessed you with the power of the sun god that was given to him.”

The princess smiled and reached out to him.

“Hiyaa!”

Nikil reached out to touch her hand and softened. It was softer and smoother than he had ever imagined. Are all babies this cute? No, I wasn’t cute when I was a baby. This one was unusual. Nikil wanted to watch her more.

“I will come again.”

He lightly spoke, reluctant to leave the princess.

“Keep the door open for me.”

Watching him leave, Cage released the power in her hands and Lynn relaxed. They looked at each other at the same time.

“Let’s not talk about it.”

“I agree.”

The young girl, Leona, looked up at them making a promise of silence. She seems to have been blessed. The blessing was a good thing but that guy was really cheeky. I hate humans and I especially hate humans who bother me.

“Everyone seems to care for the Princess.”

“Because she’s so cute. It would be good if no more troublesome guys came.”
