Chapter 712 – Day 81 – When the Princess Is Worried, There Is Only One Person She Can Go to in the End.
The princess always wanted to be a good parent.
If she ever got married and had children, she wanted to be a kind and good parent who could not be compared to Emperor Jupiter.
She never seriously considered whether her children would call her father or mother, but that was a good story. The princess just wanted to be a good parent that could not be compared to Jupiter.
Therefore, she has made great efforts to live a life different from Jupiter and to become a completely different being from the cruel and extremely efficient emperor.
‘I would have done the same in the future, so why did Minos kill people as if it were natural…’
The princess walked out into the hallway after talking with Arisa, her face turning pale.
“Princess Venus, are you okay?”
Even Ceres, who was asking her question, did not think that the princess’s heart would be okay. It wasn’t enough that her beloved daughter used countless people as sacrifices to meet her princess, and although it is not clearly understood, she made a deal with her demon god and destroyed the world…
The princess was not an emotionless being, so much so that even hearing such a story, she would laugh and say, haha.”
“It’s okay, don’t worry. But… Arisa, ugh, hearing from Arisa and Diana that that’s really the only way, makes her head pound.”
“It is not the princess’s fault.”
“But… Even though she didn’t see her being born with my own eyes, isn’t Minos my daughter? If her child ends up walking the wrong path, isn’t she naturally the responsibility of her parents?”
The princess let out a deep sigh and pressed her temple firmly with her right hand.
“That’s right… If I made a contract with a demon god or something and handed over the entire world, then there’s no future for Minos to return to, right?”
The princess sighed and took a look at the pocket watch hanging around her neck.
The seven stars were still dark.
‘If you think about Minos’ words and personality… I guess this means… She’s saying that Minos is causing her trouble…’
The princess swallowed her saliva and broke into a cold sweat.
‘It’s not just the concept of things going wrong…’
There were women that came to mind in the princess’s mind. Princess Hyli of the Kingdom of Galagon, Queen Hestia of Gregory, Diana, Arisa, Ceres…
As I thought about the countless women I had been in relationships with, I also remembered how I got the seven stars one by one.
And, I naturally imagined the scene of them being brutally murdered by Minos’ sharp and huge scissors.
“Wow…”
The princess, whose stomach was not getting any better, covered her mouth with her left hand.
‘I’d like to be optimistic that something like that won’t happen…! Isn’t that the only reason the stars disappeared?! From the very beginning, Minos said he would remove the weeds he didn’t like from the moment he first saw me…!’
The princess trembled with her hands.
“Princess… Are you okay?”
“Well, don’t worry. I feel a little sick… Ugh.”
The princess’s complexion improved as Ceres patted her back and used her healing magic on her. However, although her physical condition improved, it was still very difficult mentally.
‘Minos…’
Gulp, she had a terrible thought and the princess noticed that the seven lights on her pocket watch were strangely twinkling.
‘Are you crazy? Venus…! Even if she comes from the future, isn’t Minos my daughter?! She is my child, growing now in Hedoneh’s womb! Give me the thought of killing a child like that…’
─Parr
The pocket watch is a little more shiny. It felt like I was whispering that that was the only answer.
‘Woah, don’t be ridiculous… Kill your child with your own hands…?! That’s the only answer?! Rather than doing the same thing as Abama…!”
Wow! The princess bit her molars and held her pocket watch tighter. Ceres could not help but look at the princess from a distance with her sad eyes.
“I’m sorry, Princess…”
“Does Ceres have any reason to say such a thing to me?”
“However… If Hedone’s child were born, I had planned to educate and care for it. Minos’ personality… Is clearly my fault for failing to educate him properly.”
“What are you talking about…”
The princess burst into laughter.
“Don’t say strange things. How can you say that you are at fault? If people grow up as the educator hopes through education in the first place, then why do people who worry about education exist in this world?”
The princess patted Ceres’ buttocks and then looked at her pocket watch flashing.
“Education…?”
The pure white light remains the same.
“Now, wait a minute… Hwa, isn’t there someone in the imperial palace who is bound to know better than anyone else when it comes to education…?!”
With her eyes wide open, the princess looked at Ceres, and with her intelligence, she quickly figured out who it meant.
* * * * *
“Oh my~! Our daughter! You brought home a cute granddaughter in the blink of an eye~!”
Of course, it was Agrippa who welcomed the princess with her bright smile and wide open arms.
“Ha, grandma…!”
Minos, who thought she might take out her scissors and swing at her, saw Agrippa and jumped up into her arms.
“Oh my, oh my, my cute granddaughter… Hehe, I never thought mom would already see her granddaughter at this age. I really didn’t know~”
“Ugh, Grandma Agrippa… I really missed you…”
Minos, smiling so brightly that one would have thought she would wag if she had a tail, was snuggled in Agrippa’s arms.
“… Don’t you think the strategy will work better than expected?”
“You never know. Princess Heojeop… Don’t expect too much. Minos is a little…”
Hedone, who had been whispering to her, swallowed her saliva.
“I think I’m the type of person who swallows when it’s sweet and spits it out when it’s bitter.”
“Huh? What does that mean?”
“I try to study things like imperial palace etiquette and how to wear dresses, even when Ceres-san and I teach them, but when I tell them that killing people is bad, they don’t even listen.”
The princess felt a little dizzy, but she had no choice but to trust Agrippa.
‘Isn’t she still the ruler of the night and the queen of the succubi?’
In the final situation, he may be able to use his power to charm people. The princess swallowed her saliva and approached Agrippa and Minos.
“Ugh, Grandma… Hot… In the past, she didn’t like it when I called her Grandma… I’m sorry.”
Minos, who was pressing her face against Agrippa’s chest, just smiled brightly at those words.
“Hmm, from Minos’ point of view… Um, how should we call Ceres?”
“Unless it is time to express friendliness, it is proper to address you as Empress Agrippa.”
“Hmm… Then I will call her Empress Agrippa.”
Minos, who changed his title at will, smiled brightly and hugged Agrippa’s waist.
“Woah, Empress…? You shouldn’t call me that…?”
“Yes, I wonder if the princess becomes emperor…”
Ceres was embarrassed, but Minos had already decided to act as he pleased.
“Hehe, it doesn’t matter what you call me, right? I don’t care what my cute granddaughter, Minos, calls me? You can feel free to call me Agrippa.”
“Ugh, but the Empress Dowager is the Empress Dowager. Hehe.”
Unlike Minos, who smiled like a cute puppy, Agrippa stroked Minos’ beautifully colored head.
“But we, Minos.”
“Yes, Empress Dowager.”
“You have a bright red soul?”
The princess looks at Ceres in surprise at Agrippa’s words.
“Uh, did you say something to mom?!”
“No. I thought it would be better for the princess to speak separately…”
“I couldn’t say anything either. I came right away with the princess.”
Unlike the three who were startled and whispering, Minos, who was in Agrippa’s arms, just smiled and blinked her eyes.
“It’s bright red?”
“You really killed a lot of people, Minos.”
“Yes, I killed a lot of them.”
“Don’t we, Minos, have any regrets at all?”
When Agrippa asked while gently holding his cheek, Minos smiled brightly.
“Yes~ Empress! Sweet Minos has never regretted it!”
“Ah, it seems that Minos, our granddaughter, worked hard to make her wish to see our daughter, the lovely Venus, come true.”
“Yes~ Yes~! Yes! That’s right, Empress! Minos really worked hard! It was a little painful at first and there were a lot of injuries~ hehe, Minos was a great success!”
Agrippa gently touched Minos’ cheek, his eyes shining, then slowly lowered his face and kissed his forehead.
“Minos really has the power to make what he wants to do come true. It’s admirable.”
Hehe, are you praising me? Empress Agrippa is the best…”
Minos, happily rubbing his face against Agrippa’s chest, had an expression of all the happiness in the world.
“Ceres.”
On the contrary, Agrippa, who was smiling gently, waved a finger at her. Ceres quickly lowered her head and approached Minos.
“Minos, I have prepared the drink you mentioned earlier. How about having it with Agrippa?”
“Hey, old lady Ceres is quick to notice. Okay, I’ll do that. Oh, that’s right! I want to add more strawberries!”
Minos, smiling brightly, went straight to the table, pulled out her chair and sat down, and she waved her legs back and forth like an innocent child.
“My daughter and Hedone?”
Agrippa, smiling brightly, approaches the two whispering women and slowly brings his face to hers and whispers in her ear.
“Let’s talk a little after we enjoy tea time.”
Agrippa’s voice was so serious that the princess and Hedone had no choice but to look at each other’s faces.
