~ Chapter 30 ~

 

“Anna, play with me.”

“Princess, I’m busy.”

“What? But you’re my devoted maid, aren’t you?”

“That is why we don’t have much time to play, Princess. My position as your maid is high enough, which requires piles of work to be done.”

“Heo…”

Elchevita opened her mouth as she listened to her maid’s words.

You used to play with the when I was young. Are you turning your back on me because I’m old enough to stop playing?

Elchevita, who was rolling around on the sofa, put both of her legs up in the air.

“You’re mean. Are you implying that I have become idle now?”

“Not at all, Princess. If you’re that bored, why don’t you look for other things that might pique your interest? There’s a lot to do besides the successor’s class.”

“Well, I don’t know.“

‘I don’t even know what to do now.’

Elchevita looked at the ceiling in her unusual posture.

Oh, really. What should I do from today?

I have been attending an International Academy for three years since my power has been discovered.

It was the first time among female royal families to have an S grade that is used for attacking, and not for healing. This kind of surprising event would be written down in history and would last for centuries.

So I was confident at what I was doing. Attending all the classes, and schedules I must abide by, such as classes for talented people, successor’s class, and parties which are held in the Royal Hall.

My older brother, who I thought was dead, returned from the expedition.

“I can’t kick out the person who came back alive, now can I?…”

It seemed natural for Elchevita to step down from the successor’s position.

Shouldn’t the substitute step down from that position now that the original success has arrived, and go to her place where she should be?

I didn’t know that I was the substitute along with the fact that as soon as my brother came back, the power within the royal family should lean toward him!

“What kind of crap is this? I have a higher grade…”

Elchevita thought it was unfair.

Chertin’s power was graded B even after being tested in the attacking intensity.

They ignore what’s better and stick to traditions only. Is that even reliable?

It is enough to revolt against a king on the side of Elchevita.

She felt like she was being pushed away somewhere. And it wasn’t only her position that disappeared, even her pride as the successor has vanished.

‘Is he telling me to go on a trip or something?’

Otherwise, he implies that I have so much time left for myself that I don’t do anything?

It was only yesterday when she continued to work under the Royal Security Department, unable to sleep.

I had towered responsibility as a successor and a rare opportunity to protect the country.

However, after being deprived of her successor’s position overnight, she was not sure what to do first.

Should I take a nap? Or should I finish the dessert I wanted to eat while I was working?

Elchevita was absent-minded and lost in thoughts.

What should I do? What should I do?

Oh, as expected, that’s better than anything.

“I should write a letter!”

Anna, who was nagging her, was also out.

Elchevita jumped out of the sofa and headed to the study.

How long has it been since she last sent a letter to her best friend, Rose Lutiens?

Thanks to Anna’s nagging, I was able to stop sending letters, but this time I was so busy that I had forgotten to write for Rose!

I haven’t sent it since then. Did it arrive safely? As always, there was no reply back.

Elchevita sat down in the study with a bitter smile.

But it’s okay. All the letters she sent were kept intact.

‘I thought one or two among the letters would disappear somewhere or be damaged at this point.’

I never received a reply from Rose that I thought she hated me.

Or maybe she was so sick that she had no energy to write back.

However, Elchevita remained firm when Anna told me to stop paying attention to Rose’s recent actions.

Even if she didn’t reply, Rose kept collecting letters.

I can feel it when I close my eyes. Dozens of letters containing my abilities.

There was a little strange energy around it, but well…

Rose did say that the Security Department saw that she was a capable person and has started working there, thus where are others working with her?

Elchevita did not suspect anything.

“Rose must have it!”

She’d collect them and check them all, right? I’m sure she’s just very busy!

Elchevita smiled and took out the letter paper.

I wanted to visit Rose if I could, but I had to endure it. An S-rated person recklessly crossed the border. It might be a bit of gossip.

I should spend time writing letters today.

The hand holding the pen gained strength. Elchevita’s daily life was to wait for Rose without showing any signs of tiredness.

Maybe today, tomorrow, and the next day.

“I’m going to add more sparkling hearts today!”

If any of the dozens of those accumulated letters had replied, she was going to go see Rose then.

Two days later, the Velos branch of Deloid. Time passed quickly and the day of the Vladia Festival was already bright.

Of course, I didn’t feel like it’s festival like others. In particular, the security team, who does its best during the festival to design protective devices to be installed in the capital and actually make them.

Perhaps that’s why everyone was killed by the bomb-like workload the day before the festival and fell on the chairs in the office.

The work was done, but everyone looked tired.

“Oh, I’m really going to die.”

“It’s strange to hear that from a healer.”

“Hmph, it’s because I haven’t had time to cool off. Of course, you are an F grade so even if you’re exhausted, you can continue working without recovering your physical condition.”

This is the outcome if a healer like me helped someone.

Looking at Meichel, who was determined to smile brightly, I shook my head.

What are you saying, you idiot. I recover faster than you, you punk.

By the way, the power of the cool off (※ time to wait to use the ability again) was really scary.

Even manager Dice, who belongs to the upper level, has been sleeping for a long time covering his coat, and Ishid was closing his eyes in exhaustion.

Although it is a scenery that can be seen at every festival every year. I was still feeling the same novelty.

Is it because I put all my attention into processing the documents?

It feels like it hasn’t been long, but when I closed my eyes and opened my eyes, the day of the festival came.

The long-awaited D-Day where the novel 〈The Powerful Princess, starts.

… I wanted to say that. Sadly, I can’t afford it now.

I was definitely very nervous until two days ago. Somehow, I became too comfortable after relaxing as I was occupied with one or two tasks.

‘I’m so tired. The world is spinning, it’s turning around…’

Whether it’s D-Day or whatever, what am I going to do? In the original novel, what I always do is work, sleep, but what I need right now is rest.

“I feel nauseous…”

A voice that seemed to crawl from her mouth.
