‘Oh my.’

When I opened my eyes, the air smelt like cream soup.

Just smelling it made me feel great, and my body felt warm.

My former room was chilly enough to give me a runny nose, but it seems different here.

It was cozy and warm, so I didn’t want to get out of the blanket at all.

‘Besides, I can also feel the sunlight from the window.’

I feel happy and feel good.

Is it lunchtime already?

My stomach is growling.

Can I eat rice?

“Oh, our precious princess. You’re awake?”

If the voice hadn’t been directed at me, I would have kept my eyes closed.

It’s an unfamiliar place, so I’m a little scared.

“I am a subordinate and vassal of the prince. My name is Sophia Everville, the eldest daughter of the Everville family.”

She had a voice as gentle as a feather.

Besides, her family name is familiar.

The Castalian imperial family had several subordinate families that had served the imperial family since 500 years ago.

Everville is the most loyal of them.

People said they would not betrayed them even if a knife was put in their throat.

They were also very smart and often produced scholars.

Such a person was waiting for me to wake up?

“Nwice to meet you, Sophia!”

“Oh my, you are so cute.”

Guess the plan worked!

Sophia looked at me then hugged me as I was still wrapped in my blanket.

I hugged Sophia back, I didn’t hate the feeling.

Well, Sophia must have a great influence in the northern Castalian Empire!

There’s no way I’d hate it when someone like that calls me cute.

“From today on, I will take care of the princess. You’ve been through a lot so far.”

“Sophie, me?”

“Yeah. His Highness the Prince himself ordered it. The princess who succeeded Wynn’s name has been neglected and not properly served until now. Knowing the situation of the princess, he was very angry. That is why I have been called.”

Sophia’s words were full of sincerity.

She looked like she really felt sorry for me.

‘I had Wynn as my middle name.’

Maybe that’s why.

I immediately understood why Sophia was nice to me.

“Princess, where would you like to eat? The weather is nice and cool, how about outdoors rather than in the bedroom?”

“Okay.”

“Outdoor is an excellent choice.”

Sophia smiled sweetly when I said what I wanted.

After a while, I followed Sophia, washed her face and changed my clothes.

Unlike the nanny in my memory, she touched me very carefully, so it felt good.

Sophia never makes me feel pain.

I don’t need to pull my arms.

It seemed like I already fell in love with Sophia.

“Dwad…?”

I asked after a while.

Sophia gently wiped my hair with a soft towel, as I tried to understand my situation a little more.

“Yes, His Highness said that he would eat together with you.”

“If iwt’s like that … will I go back aftew eating?”

“Princess….”

“I-I don’t need to eat! My stomach is full.”

As I spoke quickly, Sophia stopped my hand.

I was trying to pretend I wasn’t really hungry.

Growl, growl.

‘Ugh!’

A growl broke out in my stomach.

Why now!

“Don’t worry, Princess.”

Sophia looked at me and smiled softly.

“I still don’t know exactly what will happen……but I think the princess will be here for a while.”

“Here, no one wants me?”

“Who would dare to say that? 

You’re Kyena’s daughter. His Highness has other siblings, but he always cared for Kyena the most.

Thank God.

Then I wondered why he had left me unattended, but I decided not to ask.

It’s just the game settings.

Cherise Wynn Castalia was an orphan and needed to suffer in the game.

“There really is no one who doesn’t like the princess being in the White Night Palace. If there is, I will scold them.”

Thank you.

Wait, my prospective dad.

Whether it’s three days or a week, I’ll work hard while I’m here, and I’ll make you my dad somehow.

‘Because that’s the only way I’m going to live.’

I’ll do anything for it.

I was now fully dressed and thoroughly cleaned.

As if they already prepared everything beforehand, the yellow dress I wore was very cute and fitted me well.

I also wore yellow shoes like chicks!

“Oh no, what have your maids done for you…”

The clothes fitted me well, but the problem was my hair.

I had untidy and dirty blonde hair.

Sophia stroked my hair and gave me a sad expression.

“I’d like to cut some, but I don’t have time right now, so should I tie it for now?”

“Yes!”

Sophia, do whatever you like.

After a while, a blue ribbon fluttered pleasantly next to both of my ears.

I was just about to go out after everything was ready.

‘Huh, but wait a minute.’

My 1,000 Gem Quest!

Isn’t there a little bit of time left?

[♡Surprising quest in progress♡]

Oh my, Prince Baikal had gastralgia!

Please help him. There is a risk attached to this quest.

(Limited time: 48 hours)

♡Reward: 1,000 gems

‘Ah, it’s still there.’

After checking the remaining time in the quest window, I thought I would be able to eat comfortably.

‘Don’t worry, His Majesty!’

You can be in good shape.

I’ll fix everything for you!

I could cure his indigestion.

This was a remedy that most people were familiar with.

I used to get indigestion often, and whenever I did, I remember my grandfather, who was an oriental doctor, doing it to my hand.

Of course, despite my good grades, I did not go to medical school and chose to learn pharmacy, hence they were disappointed in me.

‘I spent money to raise and teach to become a doctor, but you couldn’t become a doctor. It’s shameful.’

After becoming a pharmacist rather than a doctor, I entered the Parteus Institute and expressed my ambition to become a researcher for drug development, but my grandfather did not take my words seriously.

“Why would you do such a stupid thing?”

“Why would you waste your time on that?”

‘Well, that memory is not important.’

What’s important in this situation right now is that I know how to help him!

Really well too.

‘It would be fair to say that it is closer to oriental remedy and placebo effect than to call it a medicine.’

Well, it doesn’t matter anyway.

The system didn’t care about how I achieved it.

“Is there anything you don’t like?”

After a while, I arrived at the garden.

The garden was decorated perfectly.

A large fountain and statues of baby angels caught my eye, and a table was set up right in front of it.

As I looked at the various dishes occupying the table, I realized the gap between this and my previous treatment.

‘Wow……!’

There are so many dishes.

I looked at each of them and admired it.

“It’s pretty…….”

The food that was in front of my eyes was truly artistic.

Castalia is a country that adores art after all.

But how did the food come out so beautifully?

The chef’s plating skill is almost legendary.

“So, do you dislike anything?”

“I’ll eat anwything. A gwood kid isn’t a picky eatwer.”

Yes, I am a good kid.

A child who isn’t annoying, gentle, and overall easy to raise.

So please raise me!

‘Ahem.’

I was proud of myself, but the prince looked over and pointed to something.

“Alright. So what about pea soup?”

“Well, that’s a bit…….”

No, there’s meat over there!

There’s a shiny chicken leg, why do you offer me the pea soup?

“How about fried mini cabbage?”

“That’s….”

It’s not that I can’t eat it, but do I have to fill my stomach with those things?

I got a little nauseous and pretended to be okay

“If ywou say so……I’ll eat it.”

I don’t like it, but I won’t be a picky eater.

“Pft.”

Just then, a very strange laugh caught my ear.

He couldn’t hold back his laughter and it burst out right away!

He was an aide to the prince.

That rascal I met yesterday.

“Sir, stop teasing her. Don’t you know that kids at that age should eat plenty of meat?”

“She doesn’t seem to like vegetables very much, so tell the chefs to study so that even children can enjoy vegetables, Sollip.”

“I will pass it to the kitchen. This is a new assignment so the chef will be delighted.”

I sighed in relief and glanced at the middle-aged maid, who placed the food on the plate.

That shrimp dish looks delicious too.

Can I ask for it?

However, the middle-aged maid noticed my gaze and spoke to me first.

“Princess, I’ll peel the shrimp as you eat the appetizer first.”

“Rwealy?”

“Yes. My name is Narnia Lindensky. The Countess of Lindensky. From today on, I will serve the princess’s meal.”

“Thank you. Pwease be nice to me.”

“Oh, of course. Please speak comfortably.”

“Yes.”

After that, meals were served step by step according to the etiquette.

As an appetizer, tomato beef stew and sweet and sour chickpeas marinated in seaweed was given.

Then, they gave me the crispy grilled lobster and fried shrimp!

I don’t know their tricks, but the food did not cool down nor did it become soggy.

It’s really delicious!

“Now, would you like some meat with lemon sorbet? Lamb steak is perfect for filling your stomach.”

“Yes!”

Mrs. Narnia took care of me and cut all the food into small pieces.

I didn’t know when and which spoon and fork to use, but Mrs. Narnia helped me, so all I had to do was to eat the juicy meat and be happy.

‘Tasty!’

Oh my goodness.

I wish I could eat this every day.

I was happy and secretly moved my feet back and forth under the table.

“……”

During the meal, the prince said nothing. It was natural. Because that’s dining etiquette.

After another 40 minutes, I finished my meal satisfactorily, and after wiping my lips, I slowly realized.

I needed to complete the quest.

Should I ask for the tools?

“Is there anything you want to say?”

“Oh, you noticed?”

“You can say whatever you want.”

His Highness the Prince had finished his meal earlier and was now simply drinking wine.

He must be busy being a ruler*.

*TL/N: I’ve done another search about 친왕, and it is possible that he is someone who received division of territory and ruled one of them. Cmmiw, I’m still confused about it as well.

‘But he waited until I finished eating.’

This feeling never existed in Chae-ri’s and Cherise’s memory.

Feeling moved by his simple action, I held his hand and opened my mouth.

“Cwan I do this? Needwle heated on fire… and put it hewe! Can I do it?”
