Reborn Little Girl Won't Give Up Chapter 55

“You’ve even contacted Kingdom…”

The Prince replied calmly to Alistair’s dumbfounded mutter, “It’s a truly difficult situation, your cooperation is vital even if you don’t know this . And that’s not all . ”

“There’s been a lot of dissatisfaction in the regions in Frontier because Kingdom is the only place with a barrier . They’re also not happy that the people in Kingdom are living inside the barrier while relying on the magic stones produced in Frontier . ”

Well, of course .

“But what happens if Frontier doesn’t supply enough magic stones? Wester produces the most magic stones out of the three regions of Frontier . We lightly hinted that we wanted Kingdom people to fill the magic stones . ”

The Prince continued, “Of course, we’ve also made a formal request to the royal family in Kingdom . But, we only hinted that we have people from the Albans and Lisburn families . ”

No one could say anything . The mayor couldn’t stop this . Bart and his crew didn’t know what to do because they knew that I wanted to go back to where father was and that Alistair didn’t want to return to Kingdom .  

“I’ww go . ”

“Lei!” Alistair said sorrowfully after my declaration .  

“A magwic usher wiww come from Kingdom . If Lei ish there thhen they don’th need Awishthair,” I said clearly .  They will probably come up with some excuse for why they had an Albans child but not a Lisburn child . They didn’t need us as magic users; they needed us to act as bait for the magic users of Kingdom .  

The Prince put his hand on his chin and looked at me when I said this to Alistair . “Hmm . To be honest, I’d rather have you, the summery-blue eyed child rather than a baby who isn’t useful . ” I stared back at him .  

“The fief capital has received information that Albans is frantically searching for his baby even though he’s doing it in secret . I guess it’ll be fine if you’re the only one who comes . ” Then he scoffed . It wasn’t like he got cooler just because he laughed . But, his cold image was fading a little .  

“You’ve got candy scraps on your face . ”

He’s an arsehole after all .

“But, summery-blue boy . ” The Prince tensed his face and looked at Alistair .  

“This barrier box plan was carefully planned out by us siblings when we realised that we had a lot of magic power at a young age . Your guardians may be able to turn down this request since you’re only 11 . But when you turn 18, you’ll be coming to the fief capital even if you hate it . Keep that in mind . ”

Alistair clenched his teeth and looked down .

“In the end, it will be for Lentforce . ”

He lifted his face when he heard that .  

“Prince, that’s mean,” Bart, who had been silent, said .

“A messenger will come here from the fief capital every year until he’s an adult . But what will happen to the reputation of this barrier town that everyone envies?”

“That’s why I’m saying you’re mean!”

“I’m just saying the truth . Frontier isn’t affluent enough to leave a magic user alone . ”

Everyone was at a loss for words .  It’ll never end like this .

“Need thime . ”

“Lei, that’s right,” Bart was surprised by me and answered in place of Alistair .

“We’ve certainly heard your request . But we’re their current guardians . Alistair doesn’t know what to do, and not everything Lei says is right . ” 

I looked up at Bart in surprise, and he nodded lightly .  This was something I had decided .

“I want them to think it over before they make a decision . You’re not going to tell me to bring them to you tomorrow too, are you?”

“Hmm . I actually want to see them tomorrow though . ”

“Impossible . If you can’t wait, then, we’ll take them there . You can go back first . ”

That’s probably not how someone should talk to a prince, even as a joke .  I watched Bart and the Prince in anticipation .

“Fuu . ” The Prince sighed in an un-prince-like way .

“We were only late because we heard of scoundrels who planned to kidnap her, so we went looking for them . What’s with your remarks?”

 “What did you say?”

The people who tried to kidnap me? The Prince’s amazed face went back to a serious one . “Do you want to know more about it?”

“Of course . ”

“Then, give me your response as soon as possible . ”

“Fine . I’ll do that . ”

It’s like they’re making a gloomy deal .

“In Kingdom, there seems to be a force that doesn’t want that baby to return to Kingdom . ”

“Did you find out something about this?”

The Prince shook his head .  

“It’s just a guess . They went out of their way to use the name ‘Remington’, so they probably aren’t part of the Four Marquises . You can also reach this conclusion if you consider that the current prince of Kingdom is 2 years old and has strong magic,” the Prince stopped speaking there .  I didn’t know that there was a prince in Kingdom . There are a lot of things that a one-year-old doesn’t know .  

“That baby who’s playing innocent- . ”

It seems like I’ve been demoted to a baby who’s playing innocent .         

“I’d say that there are guys who are worried about them being around the same age . ”

Oh . A two-year-old and a one-year-old? No way .  I looked off into the distance .

Bart, who had been silently listening to the Prince, stood up . Everyone else also stood up, and Alistair carried me off the chair .  There’s still some sweets left! I felt disappointed .  

“Wrap up the sweets . ”

“Ah, yes!”

When the Prince said that, the servant quickly wrapped all the sweets on the table so that it could be carried in one hand .  He might actually be a decent person .  

“Thanwsh . ”

“You’re welcome . ”

The servant smiled and gently rubbed my head when I thanked him .  

“You’re not going to thank me?” I held onto Alistair’s hand and was about to go home with my snacks in hand, but I turned around when I heard the Prince .

“Thanwsh . ”

I smiled and the Prince froze with a surprised expression on his face .  What’s surprising? There’s nothing to lose by smiling . Because smiles are 0 yen .
