Chapter 196
That was when it happened.
The reckless Seimin burst into the room, opening the door wide.
Behind Seimin were three servants, all of whom were very handsome.
It was clear that Eltan had chosen them based on their looks.
‘Will they be okay? Well, Eltan would have chosen them carefully. They must be willing to go down to the south and live there.’
Gathering her thoughts, Shasei smiled brightly.
It was to give a good impression.
After all, he was her twin brother. He couldn’t die until she died, and they were family who would have to spend a long and tedious lifetime together.
‘Father always said that having family with similar lifespans was a blessing. He said that life would become very boring if you just lived and lived, but having family would be okay because you could share all your memories.’
So, the servants who would take care of her brother were humans she had to treat well.
“That’s good. It would be good to have a tea time with my ladies-in-waiting. It will help in case of emergencies if you know each other’s faces.”
Again, these were not words a child would say.
The ladies-in-waiting looked at each other and expressed admiration at the depth of the conversation.
Normally, it could be creepy for a young child, but Shasei was the precious first daughter of the king and queen, who were divine beings.
It wasn’t strange, it was special, and it wasn’t scary, it was amazing.
As the blood of gods, her thinking depth and breadth would naturally be extraordinary.
“Yeah! Good! Let’s all have tea!”
Seimin, who didn’t read the atmosphere at all, just smiled brightly and clapped his hands.
The ladies-in-waiting who looked at the prince soon smiled brightly, but they didn’t show such expressions to Shasei.
To be precise, they were naturally tense and couldn’t show them.
“Oh, right! Shall I show you something cool? It’s called beast transformation, you haven’t seen it before, have you?”
Soon, Seimin boasted and strutted.
Shasei, while seated, carefully watched her brother’s surroundings.
It was to check if anyone was making an unpleasant expression or look.
“Ta-da!”
After a while, Seimin’s body shrank and turned into a small beast.
The disadvantage of beast transformation was that you couldn’t speak human language, but you became much more agile.
“It’s cute!”
“Yes, it’s very adorable.”
“I thought it would be scary because it’s a beast… phew, thank goodness.”
“They will become bigger when they become adults, though! Haha!”
After confirming that the ladies-in-waiting and servants were chatting amicably, Shasei drank the prepared tea.
Honestly, she would rather run around the forest in beast form than wear these dresses, but she had no intention of being a spectacle in front of people.
‘This is the beginning.’
Tea with a different taste from the south. Teacups with a different shape from the south.
The climate, the weather, even the warmth of the sun were all different.
Every single one was pleasing to her heart.
‘I will live here.’
A girl with delicate features gracefully put down her teacup.
The princess, who looked like a painting just by sitting there, was named Shasei.
It was one pleasant afternoon.
Siren, who came out to the couple’s bedroom after dark, was humming a song while leaning against her husband’s bare chest.
The goddess’s song moves Raksha like a spell.
Even without intention, Raksha is naturally rearranged.
Siren, who realized this, was using her power in a useful way.
“Little mouse in the dark, eavesdropping owl and watching moon. Whispers gather wherever light touches. Mouse stealing cheese, go and bring a piece of whisper.”
Although she was just reciting without thinking, the mice really moved when she did this.
Without being told, they naturally brought the information she wanted as if they were under a spell.
She wasn’t doing it consciously, so it wasn’t difficult. How happy it was that it was helpful.
“I wonder what whispers the mice will bring again.”
When Yasmin showed interest, Siren smiled and replied.
“I hope it’s something positive.”
Mice are everywhere.
Just because it was a newly built imperial palace didn’t mean they could avoid it.
There would be far more on the streets.
They would climb the walls of any home and crawl into the ceilings of pubs. They would wander the fields and hide in warm kitchens.
They would go around and bring her people’s sincere inner thoughts.
“I like being able to know what the people lack right now and what they want more by listening to the mice’s stories.”
