Chapter 968 – Preparing for an Auspicious Day ~ 5
The princess, who returned from Colonia virtually empty-handed, had a very busy day, as expected of her future emperor.
“Hedone? Are you sleeping?”
Even though she couldn’t spend the day face to face with her, the princess was able to spend the rest of her day with her. She enjoyed the warmth that remained in her bed, and she looked at Hedoné’s face covered in the same blanket.
Said.
“Uhm…”
Hedone, who had an expression full of happiness, fell asleep without even knowing that the princess was looking at her.
Her appearance was so incredibly lovely that the princess unconsciously raised her hand and gently caressed her pure white cheek.
“I think I understand why Arisa sometimes honestly says that she is beautiful even without makeup and that she envies her.”
Even though her sparkling red eyes were closed, Hedone was beautiful in her sleep.
She was sleeping soundly naked, wearing nothing, so when she lowered her eyes, her pretty breasts and wet pussy were clearly visible, but the princess just looked at Hedone with her eyes filled with love.
“It would be fortunate if you, who always followed me around and felt anxious, were now given some decent rest.”
The princess muttered carefully to herself, and the lovely Hedone was still in a deep sleep.
“Ugh… Princess… Um… Princess Barber…”
After looking at Hedoné for a while, who was lovely even in her sleep, the princess got up from her seat to take out her tape measure that she had kept with her before she went to sleep.
The princess was wearing a pure white one-piece nightgown, and she took out her tape measure from the drawer and looked at her hedone again.
‘I hope you like the gift I secretly prepared…’
Hedone was not an extremely frugal woman.
However, she was not the type of person who liked to show off extravagantly like the emperor’s concubines.
She was just a woman who was purely happy that the princess had secretly prepared a wedding ring for her.
‘It feels quite strange to hold Hedone’s hand, which always caresses my body or holds my hand, like this.’
The princess very carefully took Hedone’s hand and lifted it up, using her measuring tape to find out her ring size.
It was a special tape measure that Ceres even showed us how to use, so finding out the size was really nothing.
“Get some sweet sleep for a while.”
After kissing Hedoné on the forehead, the princess put her tape measure in her drawer, then got up completely from her bed and walked carefully out of her room.
‘Now that she has found out the size, all she has to do is ask Ceres to properly convey it to Diana. And then…’
As expected, the princess was deeply troubled because the jewel that would decorate her wedding ring was an issue.
‘Isn’t the ridiculously extravagant jewelry a burden on both Hedone and me?’
It goes without saying that the princess was someone who could enjoy that level of ‘luxury’. If she put her mind to it, she could make a sparkly gemstone ring to wear on all ten fingers and have access to an infinite number of gemstones to decorate her piercings.
But the princess didn’t want that, and she did the same to Hedone.
“How great it would be if there were a gem with a good meaning…”
The princess muttered in a low voice as she walked out of her room and down her hallway, when she stopped in her tracks without realizing it.
“Yuppie?”
The princess, who saw the back of Yuffie with blonde hair shining like the sun decorating the evening sunset, hesitated for a moment and then quickly followed her.
She said, ‘I heard you are still sick and need to rest. Grace’s judgment may not have been wrong.’
After defeating the demon God Armonia, the world finally became peaceful.
If the princess becomes emperor, this long, long story will finally come to an end.
The princess, who was thinking such things, became a little nervous when she saw Euphie Holimpia walking around the imperial palace in perfect condition.
“Abama! Abama…! Where are you going… Ugh! Are you okay?”
The princess walked a little quickly down the hallway and was barely able to look at the back of Euphie’s head and say a word of greeting.
“Don’t worry, Lord Venus. This body is quite healthy.”
Contrary to the princess’ concerns, Euphy Holimpia, who was standing on the terrace where she could receive the beautiful moonlight, looked at the princess with a very small smile and gave her answer.
“I never knew Abama would walk around the imperial palace like this.”
“Isn’t this a place that this body has used as its own home for a long time? I was looking at it, feeling a little sentimental at the fact that it could no longer be there.”
“If you wish, you may stay in this imperial palace.”
“Lord Venus, there is no need to light a fire next to a dry pyre. If this body whose identity is unclear remains in the imperial palace, one day the nobles of the empire where the sun never sets will have big questions.”
The princess smiled bitterly and very carefully held both of her hands.
“Even so, the girl would like to somehow serve Abama in this imperial palace.”
“How dare a father interfere with his child’s important and precious first steps? Don’t overdo it.”
Yuffie gently held her princess’s hand and stroked it. Yuffie tried to hit her hand a little.
“Isn’t Lord Venus trying to walk a path this body could never walk?”
“If Momma is here, she will be of even greater help.”
“I know very well that leaving while applauding is beautiful. Don’t worry, Lord Venus. I’m not saying that I will leave the imperial palace forever and never return.”
Yuffie kissed the back of her princess’s hand once. A trace of guilt remained in her beautiful eyes.
“I just sat on the golden throne for close to a hundred years and just watched the empire, and now I have a desire to watch and caress it from a little closer with my own two eyes, two legs, and two hands.”
“Thank you for saying that, Abama. The door to the imperial palace will always be open…”
The princess did not finish her sentence and just looked into Yuffie’s eyes really quietly.
Euphy Holimpia smiled a very small smile and slowly let go of her hand that was holding the princess’s hand.
“Lord Venus. From now on, I will give you a gift to congratulate and bless you for walking the thorny path that this body could never walk and never thought to choose.”
“Well, you don’t have to do something like that! It’s enough for me and Abama to sometimes see each other like this and talk about various things that we couldn’t properly resolve as a family.”
“Don’t say that. Hasn’t the person who became your father given you nothing but worthless gifts so far? Please give me a chance to give a proper gift to you, who will soon be crowned and marry your lovely fiancé.”
Because Yuffie spoke more strongly than she expected, the princess nodded with an expression of no choice.
“I understand. However, the girl will naturally invite Abama to the coronation ceremony.”
Yuffie did not respond but began emitting white light from her hands in front of the princess.
The being who was called omnipotent and omnipotent has now become a lost being, but he was able to make at least a small gift for his beloved child.
“Lord Venus. I will give you the whitest and purest jewel as a gift for the happiness you have been and will continue to be.”
“Abama…”
“This body has always been a harsh and mean father to you.”
Pure white light continued to emanate from Euphie’s hands as they held each other.
“I hope Lord Venus will like this diamond, which is as white and beautiful as the first snow.”
“I have always liked Abama’s gifts.”
“May the pure white diamond, worthy of the word eternal, guarantee the eternal love of Lord Venus and Lord Hedone.”
Yuffie, who was emitting white light again and again, very slowly dropped her hand and showed the white diamond created in her palm to the princess.
“Lord Venus.”
“Abama.”
“You who, despite inheriting the blood of this body, did not walk the path of violence but the path of love.”
Yuffie carefully placed her white diamond on the princess’s hand and smiled slightly.
“I believe that this body will allow you to walk the path of love forever and ever.”
“How could a girl take a different path with Abamama cheering her on?”
“You, who are as bright and precious as this diamond, will continue to reign happily as an emperor, rule over the empire where the sun never sets, and take good care of it.”
After making a very small request and saying her best wishes, Yuffie took a step back after confirming that the white diamond was properly placed in the princess’s hand.
“Abama…!”
On the contrary, the princess walked towards her with two or three strides and hugged her as she pleased.
The sparkling diamonds weren’t important. For the first time in her life, the princess was able to receive a ‘gift’ from her father that contained no malice, intention, or evil plan.
“The girl always hated her mom.”
“… I know. How could I be a father who could be loved by her only daughter?”
“But it’s okay now. She knows what kind of future Momma saw and what kind of tragedy she wanted to escape from.”
The princess pulled Yufi’s body closer and let out her hot breath on the back of her neck.
Because she saw with her own eyes her parents’ sincere wishes for her to do well, the princess felt happier than ever.
“So… The girl who came to understand her father, whom she had thought was bad until now, no longer hates her father.”
“Thank you for saying that… This body has always… Been a bad parent to you…”
“Abama. You are welcome to come to the imperial palace at any time! I, Venus Holympia, will welcome you at any time.”
The princess was finally able to let out her thoughts and emotions that she had kept in her heart for a long time.
I just hate my father.
There was no nervousness, fear or distress on the face of the princess, who had been freed from the curse that was not her curse, that she did not want to become like Jupiter Holympia.
The princess was able to forgive Yuppi Holimpia with her sincerity.
For the first time in her life, she wanted to be forgiven by her father, and she did not coldly reject the gift he had been given.
She was able to accept that feeling very happily.
“Don’t worry. How can you not return home to your daughter, who so honorably forgave her father?”
Euphie Holimpia, who was planning to escape for what seemed like an eternity, looked at ease and kissed her lovely daughter on the cheek.
