Volu Four: The Empress's Training Plan
245~ The Shut-In Little Princess~
"Mo, co out and eat."
The Empress brought breakfast into the bedroom and set it on the table.
"......"
It had already been half a month since she brought the Little Princess back to Scarlet Phoenix Nation. Ever since that incident at the proclamation, Mo had been hiding under the covers almost constantly, refusing to co out. Even als required the Empress to personally feed her.
It seed she had completely shut herself in......
"It's all right, Mo."
The Empress sat beside her, gently patting the Little Princess's back through the blanket.
"......"
"Sigh......"
Looking at the Little Princess who had beco completely dejected, she felt an indescribable pain in her heart.
Ever since the Little Princess's non-human features had been exposed before everyone in Glaze Nation, her reputation as Glaze Nation's First Princess had plumted. The Glaze royal family had been labeled with many unfavorable tags, things like "demonic princess who made a deal with an Evil God"......
And the Little Princess had completely closed herself off because of this incident, refusing to crawl out from under the blanket no matter what anyone said.
She had been branded with infamy, and no matter how she tried to explain, it all seed extrely pale and powerless, completely lacking any credibility. She was constantly pointed at by thousands, cursed......
Although there were still so people in Glaze Nation who refused to believe that their Princess would truly make a deal with an Evil God, the non-human features were impossible to fake.
Even if this was a basin of dirty water thrown on her, the Little Princess had not a shred of a way to clear her na. She could only passively accept this basin of dirty water.
"Mo......"
"Don't touch !"
The Little Princess squeezed out a bit of strength from within the blanket to shout.
"No one here will say anything about you, Mo."
"Wuu......"
Why!? Why was this happening? She had worked so hard to break through that barrier and liberate Glaze City, yet now she was being questioned......
"Mo, it's all right now."
The Empress held the Little Princess up to comfort her.
Her heart truly was too fragile after all. But of course, not everyone was like the Empress, who had experienced many things from childhood until now and whose heart wasn't so easily disturbed by the outside world.
She had been the King of Glaze Nation's precious darling since childhood, pampered all this ti until now. It was quite normal for her to shut herself in after suffering this kind of blow.
What she needed to do was properly comfort the Little Princess. When she eventually erged from her isolation, perhaps the rift in their feelings for each other could also be repaired sowhat.
"Co out and eat."
"Mm......"
The Empress carried her out from the covers and placed her at the dining table. Mo slumped listlessly against the table, still requiring the Empress to feed her bite by bite.
"It's all right. After so more ti passes, those negative rumors will vanish into thin air. Your Father the King is already helping to clarify things for you."
She was doing the sa. Probably before long, those so-called negative comnts would decrease significantly. They just needed the Little Princess to personally clarify things once more, and that would be enough.
After hearing that her Father the King was helping to clarify things for her, the Little Princess finally lifted her head on her own initiative and looked at the Empress.
"Fei."
"Mm?"
"I don't want to go back anymore."
After a mont of stunned silence ca shock. This was the first ti she had heard the Little Princess say she didn't want to return to Glaze Nation. Perhaps she had beco completely disappointed?
But to beco disappointed over this matter......
However, the Empress felt sowhat troubled. If she couldn't help the Little Princess regain her confidence, and if Mo didn't go clarify things personally later, she might be driven by these negative rumors to do sothing extre.
The Empress hoped the Little Princess could stay by her side forever, but that didn't an she wanted just a shell. She wanted both the Little Princess's body and heart to remain by her side.
"Mo, don't think so much about it. Just eat your breakfast."
"Mm......"
......
......
Day 6
Nearly another week passed, and the Little Princess still lay moldering in the bedroom. However, unlike before, she seed to have gotten used to it. The Little Princess lay in bed holding Vanilla and Chocolate, constantly playing with them.
"ow~ ow~" ×2
Chocolate and Vanilla seed to sense that their master was in a bad mood, and both actively rubbed against the Little Princess.
Three tails and six cat ears gently swayed in the air.
The nickna "Mo the Kitty" probably couldn't be removed for the rest of her life.
So much ti had already passed, yet the cat ears on her head and the cat tail that had grown from her tailbone showed not a trace of disappearing. During this ti, she had even beco able to freely control this tail to perform so simple movents. It was just that sotis this tail was rather disobedient, giving her the urge to get into a fight with her own tail.
No, no! If she did that, wouldn't she really beco a cat!?
"Princess Mo! Good morning!"
Xiyan pushed open the bedroom door and, as always, prepared refreshnts for the Little Princess to eat.
"Just leave them to the side."
She was busy petting the cats right now and had no ti to eat snacks.
"But, if you don't eat them while they're fresh, they'll get cold."
These kinds of refreshnts were basically just out of the oven. They were best eaten while hot.
"I said I don't need them! I want to pet the cats!"
The Little Princess hugged the two cats, one black and one white, tightly in her arms, refusing to get out of bed no matter what. Her forr image had long since vanished, as if she had beco a truly willful princess.
"Princess Mo......"
"Xiyan! Go out first! When I'm in the mood, I'll eat them myself!"
"Uu...... Yes......"
Xiyan left the bedroom sowhat dejectedly, but quickly rallied again.
This wasn't the first ti she'd been driven out by the Little Princess like this. Although it hurt every ti, when she thought about how her Princess Mo had only beco this way because she'd suffered a huge blow, she regained her confidence.
If it were under normal circumstances, Princess Mo definitely wouldn't be like this. As long as she took good care of Princess Mo, when Princess Mo erged from her isolation, she would definitely be like before again! Definitely!
The little loli maid Xiyan clenched her fists, cheering herself on.
……
At the sa ti......
The Empress looked at the report in her hands, her brows tightly furrowed.
Who was it that had privately altered certain things while she wasn't at the Imperial Palace?
She couldn't investigate it for the ti being. The technique was too professional. If not for her status as a Great Archmage giving her mory far exceeding that of ordinary people, she probably wouldn't have noticed either.
"Ling!"
"Your Majesty, please command."
"Go investigate who took advantage of Our absence to secretly use Our seal in Our na."
"Yes."
There were only a few people who could directly access her seal. Among them, the ones she trusted most were Ling, followed by Red Leaf and the Little Princess.
The Little Princess hadn't been in Scarlet Phoenix Nation during that ti, and furthermore, given the Little Princess's state, it was fundantally impossible.
As for Ling, being her personal maid who obeyed her completely and without complaint, she was her most trusted confidant, so it was basically impossible as well.
The person she currently suspected most was Cecilia...... She had sufficient ti to make contact and also possessed sufficient ability to avoid everyone's sight.
But what the purpose was, she couldn't yet know.
