Chapter 129

TL: Zimming

Elizabeth Nodelli.

The nine-year-old lady is the empire’s jade.

There was no end to the nicknames referring to Elizabeth.

Princess Ingrid’s daughter.

the granddaughter of Empress Dowager

In addition, she also get along well with Duke Marche and Empress Yvonne.

She went in and out of the Imperial Palace like her own home. They were all wrapped in her little finger, that she even used the Empress’ knees as a chair.

The little tyrant that Empress Yvonne adores often acted freely.

Elizabeth, who was staring at me, blinked.

“Why didn’t Lady Dubbled greet me?”

I replied casually.

“Hello.”

“You haven’t learned how to behave?”

The girl clapped his hands and said with an innocent face.

“Then I’ll tell you how. Here, like this.”

Elizabeth pressed my head down and smiled broadly.

“Bow down and say hello.”

She had a lot of strength in her grip, which was not like a child.

My head on her hands was throbbing due to the pressure, and the hair that the maids worked on was messy because of my sweat.

She still held my head. She suddenly let go and clapped.

“This is how you bow down to the royal family. Do you understand?”

“…….”

The whole garden was buzzing. I could see the children around me stamping their feet without knowing what to do.

It is obviously rude to touch a person’s body without permission. Among the nobles of the empire, it was right to ask if it was okay to touch them above the neck.

Miss Hadero, who was restless said, “I, I…!”

“Do, don’t touch her hair……! I mean, Miss Nodelli is so rude……!”

Elizabeth spoke in a sullen voice when she saw Miss Hadero, who was rambling in embarrassment.

“Why are you angry?”

“Huh?”

“You just got mad at Liz. You screamed!”

Her sullen voice soon sounded like crying, but eventually she really cried.

“Sniff…”

As Elizabeth began to sniff, the frightened ladies rushed into the garden.

“Oh my,Liz!”

I know this voice.

‘Princess Ingrid.’

She came in front of Elizabeth with great surprise and rubbed her daughter’s eyes.

“M, mom, mom!”

“Yes, yes.”

When she patted her daughter on the back and asked, “What’s going on?” Elizabeth pointed to Miss Hadero.

“She got mad at Liz. Liz was so scared…….”

Frustrated, Miss Hadero quickly shook her hand.

“No, it’s not like that. I’m not.…….”

However, she was very embarrassed by the gaze, so Hadero couldn’t explain clearly.

I looked up.

And,

“Huaa—!!”

I burst into tears at once.

‘You think you’re the only one who can cry?’

There is no more good Leblaine who just tolerates what a child did. I was crying, so at this time my godmother ran towards me.

“Child.”

“Godmother…huaa!”

“What’s the matter?”

“My head hurts……. I was so surprised that I cried. I’m sorry! Huaa!

“Your head hurts all of a sudden? Do you have a headache?”

I stretched out my index finger and pointed at Elizabeth as Elizabeth did to Miss Hadero.

“Miss Nodelli hit me!”

“What?”

Godmother and other noble ladies looked at Elizabeth in surprise.

Even her mother, Princess Ingrid, took a deep breath.

“Really?”

“I didn’t hit her, I only pressed it. I only taught Miss Dubbled because she didn’t know how to greet me. Didn’t you say we should greet each other properly? Did I do something wrong?”

I smiled inside.

As soon as she entered the garden, she looked at me with hostility. I’m sure she pressed my head to insult me.

‘She knows how to fake crying.’

She knew very well how to win the hearts of adults.

It seems like she does this a lot of times. She’s a formidable opponent.

‘But it’s also my specialty to use age as a weapon.’

I shook my head.

“No! I know manners. My godmother told me everything!”

“But Miss Dubbled didn’t bow to Liz, a royal family, did you?”

“But Miss Nodelli isn’t a member of the Imperial family…….”

“No! Liz is their granddaughter!”

Elizabeth shouted and I tilted my head.

“But the law says that only the Emperor, his immediate lineage, the Empress, and the Empress Dowager are members of the royal family. That’s why my godmother is also a royal here.”

“Do you know how much the Emperor and Empress love me?!”

“But you’re not in the Imperial family.”

“You……!”

“Only the Emperor’s father or mother is a member of the royal family. And as a child of a Duke, I bow to the royal family only.”

“Liz… Liz…”

Elizabeth, whose face turned red, gritted her teeth.

“You orphan.”

All the people were disgusted by the mischievous remarks.

“You’re not his real child, you’re a commoner. She’s very impure yet she mingled with the nobles!”

“Lady Nodelli! Stop it! That’s a terrible thing to say…!”

Godmother shouted and blocked my ears.

But that doesn’t mean that I couldn’t hear the words.

“You fake! You’re a shame to the nobility!”

I stared at Elizabeth quietly in the arms of my godmother.

But it’s weird.

In the past, when I heard that I am an orphan, impure, or fake, I felt sad even if I pretended not to, but now I didn’t feek anything at all.

‘Oh, I see.’

I don’t care because I am loved enough.

I glanced at Elizabeth, who was still in the grip of the godmother’s wrinkled hand.

“Shouting at me doesn’t make you a royal family.”

“Shut up!”

“I’m adopted, but I’m loved by them. My dad, my brothers, my aunt loves me with all their heart. But Miss Nodelli.”

“…….”

“Miss Nodelli can never be a royal family.”

“Th, this……!!”

“The child that Empress Yvonne gave birth to will become a princess.”

Elizabeth would be very anxious then.

By now, she must’ve thought what if she takes away all attention and love from them.

‘If she grows up to be the perfect princess, she’ll soon be forgotten, but if she’s like the devil like she is today, she’ll be worried for the rest of her life.’

Elizabeth Nodelli’s face was already pale. She was afraid, so she didn’t know what to do.

After paying back properly, I felt relieved and saw my godmother.

“I’m sorry for making a fuss.”

“To be calm even with such insults, you really are the child I taught.”

Godmother smiled, and the ladies didn’t know what to do because they were sorry for me.

In fact, at first, some of these people were keeping me in check for fear that I might take their child’s academy position. But now, everyone saw me and didn’t have the hostility in their eyes anymore.

I wanted us to get along, so I’m glad. I didn’t even do anything thanks to Elizabeth.

‘Thank you, rascal!’

I laughed inside and looked at Elizabeth, who burst into tears

***

Elizabeth bit her lips tightly.

Leblaine Dubbled was more evil and wicked than any other child she knew.

She must be jealous of the good and cute Elizabeth, so she turned her into a bad girl.

She cried in the garden, but the adults felt sorry for the wicked child and didn’t give her a glance.

‘How could she do this? What’s up with that orphan?’

Everyone in the world loves her

It was a fact she knew every since birth.

She is related to the royal family. Both loved her very much, and her parents couldn’t do anything to her. Everyone in the world bowed their heads in front of her.

It was because she’s such a lovely child.

But at some point, that orphan appeared.

She was called the child of fate and stole the attention that should have been hers, she even stole her popularity by winning the virtual battle.

‘That kid is a shame for the nobility.’

Elizabeth slapped the object in her pocket.

“If you’re a child, the guards won’t be wary. Besides, who would dare to doubt her? Put ‘this medicine’ in the food of the child of fate by looking at the timing.”

She vaguely knew this medicine was a very dangerous one.

But it doesn’t matter. Such a mean child shouldn’t be alive.

‘She needs to die.’

It was the moment Elizabeth turned to the corner of the hallway with the bottle in her hand.

“Ah!”

She ran into someone while walking in a hurry.

Elizabeth, who rubbed her nose, looked up in a fit of rage.

“Can’t you see properly……!”

“It was you who came and bumped into me.”

“…wow.”

The tall boy was looking down at her who fell down.

His dazzling silver hair.

Blue eyes deep like a lake.

There was a prince here that seemed to pop out of a picture book.

Her heart was beating so fast that it’s about to burst.

Then, someone approached the boy.

“Lord.”

“Where is she?”

“I’ve got the location. Let’s go there. Whoo, if she sees her eldest brother come, she will be pleased.”

“…….”

The boy followed the man in a tailcoat, and Elizabeth looked blankly at the boy’s back.

“N, name…… I should have asked for your name…….”

Who is that beautiful person?
