Chapter 945 – Day 106 – The Most Perfect Days
“Aaaaah!!!”
The princess screamed in despair and raised her upper body, waving her hands.
“Princess Venus? What’s going on?”
“Ceres?! Where is Eve now? It’s important to ask Eve right now…”
The princess, who had stopped spouting out her words at a rapid pace, had a dazed expression and looked up at the startled Ceres and then looked at her surroundings.
The princess had her own room, where she could clearly feel the splendor, warmth, and coziness. She was lying on the big bed there.
She, who was lying very comfortably in her bed in her pink pajamas, looked down at herself one more time and blinked her eyes.
“Oh…?”
She fell into the darkness of nothingness.
The princess clearly remembered it, but her memory did not properly connect with her own appearance, as if she had fallen asleep in a familiar bed.
“I was going to ask Eve something important, Lord.”
“Oh my, did your mother tell you something strange again? Inviting her to Pandemonium is just a matter of a day or two. The princess needs to do her job too, but I think it’s too much.”
“Uh… Huh?”
The princess, with her face strangely white, clenched her fists and looked up at her Ceres with a very strange look.
“Ah, no, no no, no! What are you saying so suddenly, Ceres!”
The princess urgently got out of bed wearing pink pajamas and pointed at herself.
“Aren’t we doing something very important?”
“I was diligently cleaning the princess’s room while she was having her nightmare.”
“Bah, cleaning the room?!”
The princess looks around her as the wind escapes her lungs and touches her face with both hands.
Ceres did not lie. The room was really neatly organized.
“What the hell! Suddenly, no! I don’t know how this happened! Just a moment ago, I…!”
The princess looked at Ceres’ face and tried to say something very important, but her mouth would not fall.
She clenched her fists and tried to say something, but she couldn’t find the words, feeling harder than finding a needle in a haystack.
‘”Even if you did it just a moment ago?”
“Well, I… Uh… I…?”
The princess suddenly feels like a fool and lowers her head.
“I am doing something very important to you… And Eve…”
“With your mother? Did you communicate with her until late last night again?”
“Sat, communication… No, uh-uh.”
The princess, her mind completely confused, was so confused that she covered her mouth with her hand.
“Ugh… Idiot Princess, what’s going on? Since morning?”
The princess is startled by Hedone’s voice coming from her bed, and she turns her back.
“Hedone! Don’t you remember something? We had to do something very important today!”
Hedone, who, unlike her princess, is wearing black pajamas, has a blank expression on her face, looking up at her princess and raising the corners of her mouth.
“Today is a pretty important day.”
“That’s right! That’s right! It’s just like Hedone!”
“It’s the princess’s birthday, right?”
“Uh, uh…?”
The princess, looking completely foolish again, points to herself with her thumb.
“It’s my birthday?!”
“Yes, so you talked about various things with me until late yesterday, right?”
Hedone spoke, putting her hand under the blanket.
“How can that be? My birthday was a few months ago… A few months ago…?”
The princess said something and tried to grab her by the back of the neck, but there was nothing she could grab.
“Arisa to me…”
The pocket watch that Arisa had made was not hanging around the princess’s neck.
The princess looked down at her own cleavage in surprise, but there was really nothing there.
“Foolish princess… Did you have a strange dream?”
“It’s not a strange dream! What on earth are you talking about?!”
“I want you to tell us what we forgot.”
Ceres asked her what she said, but unfortunately she couldn’t say what was wrong with the princess.
‘Anything! Something is definitely wrong…!’
The princess clenched her fists and even sweated as she tried to recall her memories, but it was harder than finding a needle in a sandy beach.
In the first place, she didn’t know what kind of memory she should recall or what she should recall.
“Daddy and mom?”
The princess blinked her eyes at the sudden sound of a very young child’s voice.
“What’s going on?”
The heroine with her short-tongued voice peeked out her face from under the blanket covered by Hedone.
It was a very pretty child with flowing golden hair, and the moment the princess saw that soft-looking face, she immediately knew who this child was.
“Mi… Minos?”
Feeling a throbbing sensation rising from inside her chest, the princess unconsciously puts her knees on her bed and strokes Minos’ head, which is covered with a blanket.
“Daddy and mom?”
“Oh, it’s nothing. Don’t worry.”
A small child.
One’s own child.
The princess, seeing Minos’ sparkling eyes, stroked her soft cheek with her trembling hand.
“… Princess? If she is not feeling well or needs other healing, please ask your mother…”
“Well, it’s not like that, so don’t worry. I guess I had a terrible nightmare.”
The princess smiled very awkwardly and spoke to Ceres.
* * *
“This… This? What on earth happened…?”
After washing her body cleanly with Ceres’ help, the princess headed to her dining room and once again made a foolish expression at the scene unfolding before her eyes.
“Why are you doing this, stupid princess?”
“Why, why are you like that? Isn’t it because a completely different scene than usual unfolds before me?”
“Yes…?”
Hedone looked at her princess with a very, very, very incomprehensible expression.
“A different vibe? Why?”
Minos, holding Hedone’s hand, looked up at the princess while holding her teddy bear and spoke to her.
Of course, while walking here, many of the maids started talking about Ceres and said, ‘Dolls are not allowed during meal times,’ but Minos ignored them and brought them.
“That’s right! The person sitting at the head of the table… Uh…”
The princess was about to say another thing, but she repeatedly squeezed and opened her hands pitifully, then lowered her head.
“Oh, my Venus. Why are you so surprised and embarrassed this morning?”
The princess opens her eyes wide at the warm voice coming from her hallway.
“Uh, oh my.”
Of course, it was Empress Agrippa who walked by smiling.
“Have you heard strange noises since morning again? Really, I still have a long way to go to become emperor, but I wish you would at least tolerate me talking about tasks at meal times. Right? Minos?”
“Ugh! Minos wants that! Kkeup!”
Hedone was frightened when she saw Minos jumping into Agrippa’s arms as he bowed down to her.
“Minos! No! Come down!”
Hehe, it’s okay. Don’t worry. The royal family grows up quickly. How long can you enjoy the luxury of holding Minos in your arms and eating Mamma?”
“Well, still, mother…”
Hedone and Agrippa, embarrassed, trudged into the dining room and sat down.
On the contrary, the princess looked very embarrassed and trembled as she went to her seat and grabbed her buttocks.
“Lord Venus. Did you have a bad dream last night? The fact that your face turned white from the moment you entered the restaurant seems quite problematic.”
A calm and charismatic voice.
When anyone heard the perfect ‘feminine’ voice that worried her, the princess couldn’t say anything and just gulped down the water in front of her.
“Well, the problem is…”
The princess, her voice trembling, let out a deep breath.
The life of a princess over 20 years.
It was safe to say that she ‘rarely’ ever had a meal with her family at the table.
The princess was instinctively trembling because in most cases, something very, very, very unbearable would happen in such a situation.
“There is no problem, Abama.”
“It doesn’t seem that way to me. If she is very sick, I will call her saint.”
“Yes? Yes? Oh, no! The girl is really fine!”
The princess was surprised and pointed to her chest with her hand.
“I just had a bad dream last night.”
“Dreams are sometimes a window that shows things that we humans cannot perceive. Since you and I are members of the royal family, we may have instinctively sensed something sinister. If your physical condition worsens, please receive the saint’s grace.”
It was warm.
The princess, who was receiving the concern of a parent for her child for the first time in her life, was so moved that she drank water once more.
“… Are you worried about the girl? Abama.”
“Are you suddenly saying something strange? Lord Venus is my only child. Let’s say two or three, what mother in the world wouldn’t worry about her children?”
“… That’s right. It looks like the girl hasn’t come out of her nightmare yet.”
After hearing Euphie’s warm words, the princess was dangerously filled with feelings that had never been satisfied for a long time since she was born.
“It’s because Yuffie always doesn’t speak her words properly, so she’s more worried than this, right? Venus?”
“Don’t talk like that, Agrippa.”
“It would be nice if Euphie were a little more honest and said that she was worried about her daughter. Isn’t that a shame?”
Surprisingly, Euphy smiled a little at Agrippa’s words and picked up the knife and fork.
Really peaceful.
The princess was able to start the morning with a very peaceful mind, not feeling like she was walking on thin ice.
Agrippa and himself.
With just the two of them, there was no need for her to eat with a trembling heart, waiting for someone who might show up at any moment.
“Wuuuuu deliciously, it feels strange to think it’s just a dream.”
“You said that when you first met me, and you’re saying that again, stupid princess.”
“Haha! If this is my first meeting with you, of course…”
As she was about to say something, the princess felt as if there was a thorn stuck in her throat.
“You… And you… Abama…?”
No.
The princess suddenly had that thought, covered her mouth with her palm, frowned, and then looked at Hedone’s face.
“… Hedone? What was your name?”
“Huh? Of course, I’m Hedone, right? Have you really become such a fool all of a sudden? Princess?”
“Well, not that! I mean! Your mother’s name! What is it!”
“You couldn’t have forgotten that, right? You are Royal Mistress Metresantitre, right? I am Hedone Metresantitre.”
The princess said nothing as she looked at Hedone, whose expression showed that it was obvious, and eventually dropped the cup she was holding in her hand.
