I wanted to kill Eden as is, but I lost my chance when I felt the emperor’s energy.  So I asked the Emperor for help. Leona’s cheeks puffed and said, “Eden hit me!”
Her tears were sad enough for an ordinary person to fall for them, but this was no ordinary person this was the Emperor. The best in the world. So he could tell what was going on. Wasn’t she the one who used magic on Eden?  Looking at the flow of Mana, he was sure. There seemed to be a  fighting spirit between them. Why else would she say “Daddy help me!”.  The emperor narrowed his eyes, wanting to focus on the princess’s true intentions. The princess agonized over whether she still wanted to reveal herself, and the moment she could show off her strength, so she shut her mouth.
When the barriers were released, when magic was used to save the Fourth Prince, and even now.  If so, why?  In this imperial house ruled by militants, the more you revealed your powers, the more you’d rise above the waters. Not long ago, I remembered what Harriet said.

‘You’re not going to see your Royal Highness?’
‘No, you haven’t thought about how much she’ll miss you?
‘Didn’t you think you wanted to hug your father because you missed him?’

My father’s arms. The emperor slowly softened his eyes. Then, did this act come from the desire of my father, my Bodhisattva? Leona’s eyes were extremely clean. Pure, sealike eyes. Shit! The emperor had felt a slight pain in his chest. No one had ever shown such eyes to him. The emperor became more confused. And, without realizing it, grabbed
Leona’s neck and lifted her.

“Huh?”

What is it? Why again?
Leona swallowed dry saliva as she felt her legs hang from the ground.  Did you notice that I’m pretending to be sick?  You don’t think… Leona saw the emperor’s interest, but fortunately, the emperor didn’t say much. He hugged Leona as is.
Leona, caught in his arms, blinked quickly and looked at the emperor.  Uh. I didn’t think about this.
‘Oh well, I like whatever this is.’
Go and scold him! Leona pointed her finger at Eden. The emperor walked slowly to Eden.  The ground vibrated with each step. With each step, there was a tremendous jolt that shocked Eden, who was sitting there. Eden shuddered and shrugged.

“The Eighth Prince.”

The emperor’s cold gaze reached Eden. Eden dropped his head in a hurry.

“Oh, my father. Well, I didn’t do anything. Leona alone….”

“I ordered you not to fight in the absence of a sword.”

Oh, that’s very useful. I’ll leave Cage in the future,  Leona held her head in the arms of the emperor.
“You’ve violated your orders.”


“I’ve committed a grave sin, I’m sorry!”

Eden knelt and put his forehead on the floor.  The emperor turned his eyes to Leona.  It was an indifferent gaze, but it seemed to ask if this is how it works.  Leona hugged the emperor’s neck.  A small and precious hand touched the Emperor’s cheek.

“Daddy, scold him more!”

The emperor’s lips curved. Tolerance makes you ignore your opponent. It was right not to punish him in the first place to show proper tolerance. It felt like this 3-year-old child knew the unchanging truth. The emperor smiled contentedly, and said,

“It’s decided, you’re on probation for one week.”

“Yes, yes? Ha, but..!”
“She threatened me more!”

Eden opened his mouth on the verge of tears.

“Are you refusing?”

I couldn’t say anything in front of the emperor. Why does my father listen to that ugly little thing?
It was sad, but he couldn’t protest.

“No…. I’ll do it, okay?

He quietly agreed. Eden lifted his body up and slowly left.  It seemed that his pants were damper.  Excuse me one more time.

‘What a jerk’

But now he’s gonna pull himself together. Leona clicked her tongue and raised her head making eye contact with the emperor.

“It hurts.”

The world’s brightest smile showed.  Her thick cheeks rise above the clouds.

“Thank you.”

Then she patted the emperor’s back.  Todak Todak, It was powerful for small hands but it was cozy.  The young child’s warm body temperature seemed to seep into his chest
Harriet must be jealous. The Emperor, who was about to smile gladly, soon regained his composure and pulled down his lips.
But as he felt the patting, and continuous touch, the tip of his lips kept going up. Mm-hmm. He coughed and covered his mouth with his hands.
‘My nostrils are showing’
(Original tl says opening but idk what that would even mean)

***

I thought he’d let me go after, but the emperor didn’t put me on the ground. I walked with her still In my arms. In that condition, I had a hard time with several people. When they saw Leona in the arms of the emperor, they all looked surprised. Uh, yeah. Amazing, huh? Me too.

Leona felt the awkward air as she waved at them. ‘Oh, man. I was going to go out and play.’ Leona glanced at the Emperor.

“Princess.”

Oh. Huh?

“Tell me why you saved the Fourth Prince, it’s an order.”

It was something I wanted to know, but I shouldn’t have said it out of my mouth.
(The emperor was curious but he felt as if he shouldn’t have asked her.)
Leona rolled her eyes silently. The emperor waited for her response in silence.
‘Because he forbade it’.  It was very difficult to how the princess would answer. The cruel imperial family only killed each other and would never have shown a helping hand. Even if the first Prince was holding real power, no one would help even if he had strength.  It was only natural. This was what the emperor also went through. Therefore, the emperor thought that Leona had ulterior motives when she saved Nikil.

“That’s who I share my knowledge/power with.”
“Power..?”
“Oh, sorry Nikil is my person, the person who is my strength.”

Leona answered confidently. The emperor pulled his chin and made eye contact with Leona. The child’s red eyes weren’t harmless at all, they contained all kinds of lies and tricks.
The emperor’s forehead was scrunched. He opened his mouth again, recalling the previous encounter with Eden and Leona.

“Why do you hide your skills?”

Skills? Did you see the pillar of fire earlier? Leona gulped down dry saliva.

“Did you see?'”

‘I’ve seen it all.”‘

Shit! Leona spits out her cheeks.
“Because I’m not strong enough to protect him yet.”  The emperor was shocked when he first heard that the princess was protecting something.  He thought for a moment, and then said
‘Do you know what it means to protect?”
with a shallow tone.  The emperor thought that perhaps Leona didn’t know what the word really meant since she was still young.
But Leona knew justice very well.  “My people not being harmed, that’s protection.”
“…”
The emperor shut his mouth. His lips were so tightly shut that no air escaped from them.  What are you thinking?  Leona was curious, but there was something she was more curious about.

“So where are we going?”

Speak a little bit
Mm-hmm. The emperor coughed again
“Why?’
The emperor couldn’t answer immediately. It was because by now, I thought of Xeros, who was waiting for me and Leona at the main palace.
“What Why?”
But Leona, who knew nothing, was looking at him with a pure face.

Whoo. The emperor exhaled a shallow breath.
“There’s someone you need to meet.”
Xeros, the owner of the Magic Tower, has the role of a tester that measures the magical power of young members of the imperial family.  After witnessing Leona’s magic at the Second Prince’s banquet the emperor immediately called Xeros. So, even though the tower owner was busy, he still wanted to see me in person. ‘This range, I don’t even want to show it to you.’ (Referring to leos magic)
The emperor slowed down his steps feeling strange emotions.
He walked ever so slowly wanting to arrive as late as possible so the madman could leave.

***

The reception room of the main palace.  Despite having a decent sofa and chair, a person was sitting on the window frame of the wide-open window- looking out the in the distance with their chin resting on their hand.
It was Xeros, the lord of the west.  His Jet-black hair fluttered in the wind. His skin was white enough to be transparent if it shined under the sun. Underneath his long eyelashes, his golden eyes, half-woven like jewels, swayed. Harriet, who was watching Xeros believed he could be a woman with this type of beauty. It was an idea but a wrong nevertheless . As he did, the face of Xeros
was stiff. The high nose that came down the curve and the soft red-mouthed liquor made the notion stronger. So Harriet felt uncomfortable.
‘What if he seduces our princess?’ he was worried. He was the one who had made every woman on the continent cry. ‘He’s a bad guy. Shall we not see each other anymore?’ But no. He’s a great wizard called the continent’s best anyway, and he’s a giant beyond human reach. ‘Right. Don’t test my daughter. If you’re a judge, it should be this much.’ But I’m worried. Harriet had no choice but to feel confused with his ambivalent feelings.

“By the way.”


At this time, Xeros’ red lips slowly parted. He shifted his gaze very slowly. The wizard’s distinctive, decadent eyes grew wide.

“They’re very late.”

“Yes, I’m sure. Would you like to go back?”

Oh. I spoke too fast. Harriet avoided the eyes of Xeros and made another request. Xeros let out a low laugh.

“No.”

he was smiling brightly, folding his eyes in half.

“I’ll be waiting.”

Yes. Harriet sighed and held his hands together.
‘What if she’s enchanted by his looks? Let’s talk to her first before they meet.’
If you know he’s handsome, watch him first. But even before that, I heard footsteps outside. Damn it. Harriet sighed and grabbed the door hook.
“Your Majesty the Emperor and Your Highness the Twelfth Princess are entering.”
Xeros pulled one knee up and hugged it.  Placing his chin on his knees and tilting his head at an angle.
A languid gaze fixed upon the opening door. It was the emperor who showed up first. The one who fought against him in the past, and the one who fought against his sword. Xeros gave him a slight nod.
But.., hmm? There was something in the emperor’s arms. What is it?
Xeros narrowed his eyes and sharpened his vision.  And he saw, in the emperor’s arms.+

“The Princess?”
