Daughter of the Emperor Volume 1 Chapter 7

               The emperor only daughter vol 1 ch 7

" Ah,  no that is not something to eat , princess!"

Elaine  exclaimed very loudly. I widen both my eyes .
Ah, that surprised me.
She could just say it normally why is she yelling ? I didn't take it to eat .
I wanted to find out what it was by putting it in my mouth!
You could just say it "durity"(baby talk) why do you feel the need to shout ? As I froze stiff in one place like a chick who has eaten honey. (another Korean saying) Serira's strict order came from behind.

"Elaine."

Serira!
Serira slowly  came over and took the hairpin Elaine had taken away from me and put it back in my hand.
Ah? I can play with it ?
Elaine for a moment got worked up but Serira quietly use her position to silence her.

"How can you yell at the princess ? She was surprised "

It was a hairpin, a hairpin!
What do you call it when you automatically put it in your mouth on your  own? A habit ?
No , it instinct . I already knew it was a hairpin using my eyes .However my brain knew it but not my body. Should I say it was like my body didn't know what it was so it took it on its own to examine what it was without my brain's permission ?

"I'm sorry."

Elaine got in trouble. She got in more trouble yesterday too.And the day before that too .She got in more and more trouble.Anyways she lived each day getting in  trouble. And last week she caused that big accident. Yet even if she clumsy to the point that  I find her quite hateful  but at the same time I honestly  don't really dislike her and I find this quite odd. Is this what one would call a demonic charm?

"Always gently , no matter how annoyed you are you have to say it quietly. Did you forget?"

"I'm sorry."

Elaine lowered her head dispirited. Well, but  even through I know in ten minutes she will be cheerful again I felt down seeing her depressed. Is it because I see her face a lot ? Seriously ,I'm.....
You can do better next time .I wanted to say and raise my hand to pat her on her back .....
Why am I a baby? Why ? Why is it ?!
My hands don't reach. sob sob.

"Where is the pacifier ?"

Since I was waving my hand around Nanny turned her head looking for something.
Nanny , you aren't looking for the same pacifier I dropped in the garden before right?
Even if you disinfect it I feel kind of gross out , a lot gross out actually.
Mrs. Nanny I am still a baby . Wah wah Please treat me preciously ....

"Here, princess."

Ah, it a new one!
The pacifier I was sucking was one I seen for the first one, It cute like me.I don't know it because it new but as I suck it i found it quite hard.If I keep sucking will it turn soft?

"princess seem to like it."

"I think so."

.....you guys were watching me. To peek at someone else  privacy is rude ,People!
ho ho , but since both of you are so close to me so I will forgive you.
suck suck suck
What should I do? I think I fell in love with my sucker. I have turn into a body that can't live with a pacifier .Fuck!

"Heh,Heh Pretty."

Elaine who was in love with my beauty complemented me on my looks again.
How many times a day does she compliment me a day? Tsk Tsk
Now I'm tired of  hearing the word pretty .I'm going to just keep sucking on my pacifier .
Suck Suck Suck Suck
After that incident last week the palace was in a uproar .I was stuck  in my room so I don't know in detail how noisy it got but as usual with my nanny  informative conversations with Elaine I found out what happen afterwards.

"The princess is so pitiful."

With one word it called wrong place at wrong time  .She got what was coming to her but she had the worst luck because at the worst possible time she met me and at the worst possible time she met the emperor who was passing by at the worst time possible. I knew that she was ordered to be executed but part of me was uncertain it would go through. I guess somewhere in me  didn't believe it was possible....
Yesterday when Elaine told me her execution date was set next month  I was betrayed at my uncertainty! To think, my own  uncertainty has betrayed me !
Ah. Not funny.

"I hear they would me checking the entrance from now on."

"It was a incident that left  all the princess and crown princess in the royal palace shaking in their shoes."

Elaine with a sullen face played with her hands.

"I feel sorry for her .After all it not like she had a choice or  wanted to come here  "

That the same goes for me too. Who said I wanted to be born with such a father?!
Grandma Samsin come out! I think you need to take this back. It doesn't have to be a empire just  please let me grow up under normal parents.Can't you do that ? I guess you can't?

"The Emperor definitely has a hobby torturing others!"

You just figure that now? My father is a sadist .Can you not proudly announce something I found out last week?
I wanted to yell back but I can only make the baby sound.When am I going to grow teeth?
When will I be able to talk? Now I know how a mute feels.
I!  Want!  to!  talk!

"I am sorry.I said words carelessly."

'As long as you know "

Serira let it go without saying much words.I guess her mouth hurts from correcting every single thing  . Huh? For someone who claim to know she was careless she kept on going .

"However our princess is so pretty . She doesn't seem like the emperor daughter at all."

Didn't you say last time I inherited all of  my of my father DNA ? Are you kidding me?
I was so tired of it that I just turn my head away.Then Elaine follow me in the direction I turned my head.I dislike you. I find you annoying .I turn my head again.

"when she grows up she will be a beauty."

Stop saying such hopeful words .I don't believe in my beauty yet. I haven't see a mirror so I don't even know how I look, but to say I will be a beauty .You need to wait until I am at least over sixteen to find out .If it not true I will cry .
Wait, do I have to get married at sixteen?
 Ah , what if I didn't inherit the emperor's beauty ?!

"she only three months old."

"Ha, The apple doesn't fall far from the tree ,just look at this beauty!"

I'm telling you to wait until I'm at least  sixteen!
I don't want to fight .I don't want to ruin my beauty with my own hands!
See it like this god, I was born under a crazy emperor so I want my looks to be at least pretty ,okay!
I'm not asking for power to overturn the world  just make my looks good enough that people can sallow back their rice
Namu Myōhō Renge Kyō (this is a Buddhist mantra)

"I want to quickly take her for a walky walky."

"Please restrain yourself .she can't even sit upright."

Serira clicked  her tongue.
I sucked on my pacifier and has already eaten my meal so I decide that  I needed to exercise so I tried to raise my body up.
Ugh! damn  this is my body but it is fucking heavy ! Sob sob I can't even lie on my side when I want to. As I heaved I tried to lay midways no matter what suddenly my body turn exactly half way over .
Gasp gasp it was hard.

"Oh oh my!"

I heard Elaine voice but that wasn't important .What was more important was to flip my body completely over .Why does this body not feel like mine? I want to turn my body over!

"Mrs. Serira look !'

Both their sights were on me and at that moment my body fell over.

"Oh my"

I could hear Serira surprised footsteps.
Ah it damn hard.
As I gasped for breath and lay my head in the covers I could hear several voices drop from above.

"She turned herself over! She succeeded "

"Now she can turn herself so well. oh my"

Just by doing this my body was the type that got  completely tired out so I didn't know what to do. But when I turned over Serira picked me up into her bosom .
Nanny , it was hard .sob

"Anyway did you see the bruise on her side Mrs. Serira?"

"ah, that"

Serira face darken. Now it faded to the point it was hard to find right away but I can still  remember the sound of her gasp the night when Serira tried to wash me . I guess it was a very  bloody bruise because all week she kept on rubbing  all sorts of medicine on it.

"Can we hide this? That princess did this ."

"For now keep your silence."

At her firm command Elaine shut her mouth tightly. Serira lifted my clothes and checked my torso.
Ah , I am a pitiful creature who can't even look at her own side.

"Thanks to the medicine the doctor gave me it much better now. I was worried it would scar but thankfully it healed ."

Elaine lifted her face and check out my bruise.It look like she was still worried .

"However if we hide this...."

"shh"

In one second she cut off Elaine chatter. I never seen Serira this serious before so I found it was all quite mysterious .I can't help myself .Kids will be kids I guess.
Ah! No, no I'm a twenty five years old human being.

"Think of the consequences if this was know widely."

Nanny lowered me back into the bassinet .My bassinet as usual had fluffy blankets and smell delightfully .
Rub Rub Rub
This feels really good.

"I guess our necks would be the first to go."

"I am not afraid of that."

Serira's voice was low. And it was heavy . I turn my face to look at her  .Only when  I laugh at her did her serious expression go away .Then her fingers touched my head .Her gentle fingers was stroking my cheeks as I closed my eyes.

"This precious princess being cursed by others as being the seed of war is why I don't want others to know."

As she said this she turned off all the lights .Yet there was light that couldn't be covered even with thick curtains but it was peaceful like being in my mother womb.

"wah"

I let out my voice because I didn't like the silence . Yet the silence was heavier then before . It was a case of being surround by noises then suddenly silenced .It was heavier then if it was quiet from the beginning. If only I could talk.....when do I get teeth?
My relatives did have babies but I only met them once or twice a year on holidays .I never had or took care of a baby so I had no clue .I heard around one a baby can walk so before that  do they grow any teeth? I want to walk as soon as possible.I want to crawl , sit up ,stand up and walk .
It frustrating.
To lay around all day looking out a window is really tiresome.Especially at night when there no one to take care of you the loneliness come back a hundredfold.
Is this the reason why babies cry to death when they wake up in the middle of the night ? However I didn't want to cry my body may be just 3 months old but my mind is 25 year old lady.
Yes, that right. I  guess it cause I lived as a baby for 3 months already but I did get a bit used to this frustrations.
 Hmmm, I guess it good I wasn't born as a boy.
The son of the crazed tyrant .
Just thinking about it gives me the chills .
No that would be the second problem the first would be to figure out my sex preference when I got married if my body was a boy. Ugh!
I should stop thinking useless thoughts and sleep when I heard a small creaking noise .
Huh? Wait , a creak ?
Just in case I peeked with silted eyes at my sides I saw something with my shitty vision. It was a figure holding a sword and there was two silhouettes.
That thick silhouette can't belong to a woman  .
No, impossible .
Did someone enter my room? And through a window? It seems to be unwelcome night visitors. In case they were assassins I got scared right away. In just three months I'm going to get murdered again?
It scary. I felt something drop in my chest .It was fear.
What to do? What can I do? Should I scream? What am I suppose to do?!
Through my bed bars I can see the dark figures come closer.I got scared and clasped my hands tightly. Should I , should I cry for now?  !

"She sleeping"

If the voice I heard wasn't his I would have cried at the top of my voice. I sighed as suddenly all tensions left me and furrowed my brows.
What the hell ! It the guy called dad.

"Did she wake?"

A huge hand clasped my whole  head. It was a bit cold .
I was so surprise I almost opened my eyes but thankfully I was able to pretend to sleep.
Thank goodness. This was the result of training for twenty five years .As my parent's daughter I would pretend to sleep then go on the computer at night.To think it would come in handy here .
All kind of things can happen if you live long enough .
What the reason for visiting me at this late hour?
And sneaking in like a pervert by the window.
I mean if he wanted to he can visit me anytime he wants so what is the reason he came in  like a creep? I kinda want to know.
No, I want to know really badly.....

"You have become so sincere ."

Huh? I was taken back. In fact I was so taken back I forgot to breath. Of course I eventually let out small breaths but Caitel might have notice I was awake. Damn
Anyway that voice didn't belong to Caitel. It was a voice I heard for the first time.
No, that not the problem here......
Why is that voice so sticky?

"I thought nothing would change because you had a kid."

It was a man voice .It was low  ,seductive and way too stickily sweet  .If the words weren't cold I would have thought he was hitting on him and whispering love to his ears.
The hell? A guy can have a voice like that?

"You didn't seem human when you were killing all your other babies."

He also got the knack for the of pissing people off down to an art form . Just listening made my inwards squirm. I guess if he going to hang out with someone he going to hang out with someone just like him. Birds of a feather flock together.
Today as I realized the wisdom of our ancestor  I had to endure  goosebumps breaking out as he stroked my cheek. Gosh , it cold. Then I heard low laughter.

"You're right.'

This is Caitel.

"I find also myself strange."

What strange about it ? It because I worked to the bone to be cute so I can make you my slave .
I nodded my head in agreement  as I thought of this unbelievable bullshit.
And I grew sad at the fact that I knew it was all unbelievable bullshit .Damn
As I grew sullen I felt Caitel hands that was caressing me slow down. It seem he was lost in thought.

Wait , are you going to choke my neck ?

The saying  a chick who has eaten honey came around from the poem  in India  (1440~1518)
his poem compare knowledge as sweet honey and there was a saying The one who has honey no longer speaks
It might have changed to a chick who has eaten honey  because of a chick that like honey and got a stomachache so he wasn't able to talk and his wife thought he wanted some honey water     -__-  wtf?
or it could be from the fact honey was rare in the past so if you had honey you wouldn't be able to talk as you will be too busy stuffing yourself so you become a chick that had honey but the most likely reason would probably be if you had honey in your mouth it would be sticky making it difficult to talk.

"I hear they would me checking the entrance from now on." might not be completely accurate because there was a typo on the page!      Σ(゜ロ゜;)

Samshin Halmoni, the Grandmother Samsin, is the triple goddess of childbirth and fate in Korean mythology.

I still don't know if Princess Faylene gave her a bloody bruise her on purpose or was it really  an accident out of ignorance .She didn't know her own strength as she pinched the baby. Was it her plan to pinch her from the start or did it happen because the baby kept making a fuss?
