Next day
As Lelia saw Roo had co to her room to play, she felt seriously troubled.
Sothing is wrong, and not by a small margin.
Why are you here?
To play with my Captain.
When Lelia woke up in the morning and washed up, Roo was already there. Roo was lying down on the sofa and was reading a book, and when she looked at it closely, it was a humorous book that was only sold in a bookstore downtown.
Phew
She thought he was reading sothing weird. She was surprised to know that she was expecting to find sothing like an obscene book.
Well, this child is only 10 years old I have a rotten mind!
Lelia awkwardly reached out for the snacks on the table. It looks like Roo was the one who bought it.
Are you having fun reading it?
Would you like to read it, Captain?
Roo handed her the other book next to him, and Lelia opened the book saying, Its childish, whats so funny about it?
Then, after a while, Leilas laugh filled the room. Roo looked at her with a pathetic expression.
It was then.
Knock knock
The sound of knocking on Lelias door was heard.
Who is it?
The only person who usually visits her room was the priest. He used to wait for Lelias permission to co in, but it was quiet on the other side of the door. Lelia looked at Roo who was sitting across the table from her. After a pause, Roo sighed and quickly got up and headed towards the door.
Well. I didnt even tell you to do it, but youre good. Doesnt he look like a real subordinate? Its a bit comfortable?
Yes, she has to stay here for at least 3 years. And it will be quite comfortable if she has a subordinate.
Huh?
But it was an unexpected person who opened the door.
I thought the priest had co to pray
Since the children living here are either mbers of royal families, or aristocrats, the priests were troubled. They did not force nor control any activities, unless the children fought or went out.
Except for a certain activity.
That specific activity is to encourage the children to get closer to one another and unite. In other words, it was like getting together like in an athletic et. Anyways, it was obvious that most of the ti is free ti. Sotis the priests used to co and ask us to co out to pray, only when we stayed in our room for too long.
What? You?
It was Oscar who ca to Lelias room. He, who had collapsed and was trembling yesterday.
I am asking you sothing. What are you doing here, kid? Is your mouth closed? Do you want to open it?
Roo! You are!
Lelia was embarrassed.
Roo grew up with sweet parents Where the hell did he learn to say such things?
But despite Roos expression and questions, Oscar looked at him with a blank face. Oscar is so small and thin that he looked much smaller than Roo. He looked even smaller than .
Of course, in the future, he will beco big and strong enough to be able to lift the heroine in one arm, and will grow up to have a big body similar to Roo.
But he is very small now.
Nevertheless, Oscar did not show any signs of being scared of Roo. Well, hell beco the Emperor in the future. Lelia had heard of the rumours that hell be a terrible Emperor, but he must be a strong man.
Lelia stepped up before Roo spoked more harsh words to Oscar.
Hey, Roo. Dont scare the kid who ca all the way to visit us.
Okay, Captain. Roos lips dropped into a straight line at Lelias words and he gently stepped aside. Certainly, he was listening to Lelias orders well.
Oscar slowly stepped inside the room and walked in front of Lelia.
Hi, whats the matter?
Well, I
First of all, sit down. Lelia tapped the seat next to her. Oscar hesitated for a mont before sitting beside her.
Oh, so Thank you for helping yesterday. I was going to talk about that thats all.
You are welco. Its all right. Lelia replied with a slightly embarrassed look.
Actually, she was going to ignore it, but
She was worried for a while, but when she heard the words thank you for helping yesterday, she felt ashad and guilty for no reason.
Im sorry that you went through it
Lelia pointed to Oscar the snacks, which were on the table.
Arent you hungry? Do you want to have so snacks?
Although Roo had brought it, Lelia had the kindness to let her hold the cookies for Oscar. It was her attempt to get rid of her sorry feelings by offering Oscar so snacks.
Thank you for the snacks.
Roo, who closed the door and returned, seed to be holding back, even though he had many things to say. He sat opposite to Oscar, looking at him from top to bottom with a discontented look.
His eyes looked like hes in a bad mood. However, Oscar did not care at all.
Why do you stamr?
Roo asked Oscar.
Lelia glared at Roo who then looked away. Oscar spoke, holding the cookies in his hand.
Sotis I get nervous No, it happens only when I am surprised.
Isnt that like every day?
Roo deliberately stamred to make fun of Oscar. His sarcastic attitude was very obvious.
Hey! Stop it. Roo huffed at Lelias words.
Dont make fun of your friends.
Who is your friend? Who would want to be friends with soone like you? Roo scread at Oscar and huffed. He went straight to Lelias study, leaving both Lelia and Oscar alone in the living room.
The room where Lelia lived was divided into a living room, a bedroom, a bathroom, and a study, just like a house. She is a prince, so its obvious that she will be treated specially. Of course, the rooms of other children were divided like that as well, but Lelias room was a little spacious and bigger.
That kid he is ten years old, an elentary school kid.
Lelia sighed looking at Roos back, and apologized to Oscar in his stead.
Im sorry, Oscar. Ill apologize in his stead. Even though he behaves like a bad guy, he is not a bad guy by nature.
Oh, its okay. Uh, he isnt wrong anyway I I have no friends.
What?
I, like soone who trembles, who gets fits, who would love such a child? Lelia frowned at Oscars words. Oscar looked completely hurt. But Lelias heart broke for nothing.
Why would you take that for granted when you are just a child?
Hey, why would you say that? Why dont you have friends? You can be friends with ! I even ca to help you Would I have helped you if I didnt like you? So, please dont think like that.
I dont get fits. Even if I suffered from it, would you have helped ?
Of course!
Thank you
In response to Lelias answer, Oscar lowered his head for a mont, as if he was ashad and twiddled his fingers in embarrassnt.
Ah! He raised his head to ask sothing.
Well, do you know my surna?
Yes, you are the prince of the Hraesvelg Empire.
Then, Ah! She asked and raised her head.
I saw you yesterday
I guess. Until yesterday, I stayed very quiet as if I didnt exist. Lelia kept trying to get going, but she couldnt pretend to not see Oscar trembling on the floor. Looking at Lelia exhaling her sigh, Oscar pointed to the room Roo was in.
Well, by the way, why was he calling you Captain?
Oh, umm Because I am cool? He said he developed a lot of respect after he saw save you. Lelia lied naturally. And Roo, who was in the study, scread, What? What in the hell are you talking about? Do you want to shut your mouth? He ca out of the room running.
Oh, I see
Yes.
Well, I want to call you Captain, can I?
He certainly trembled only when he was nervous, but he seed to get better as he talked.
But what did he just say?
? Lelia froze for a mont and blinked.
Suddenly, the lines and the scenes she had read in the story ca to her mind. Oscar was the one who killed his father and beca the Emperor. Since then, he has been called the Bloody Emperor, the Cruel Emperor, but
And in fact, the scene was also about Oscar breaking his childhood trauma and avenging his mother.
And when Oscar killed his father, he said, Father, I am going to kill anyone who is on top of now. This is probably the beginning.
Oscar, once again said, looking at the absent-minded Lelia, who was recalling and thinking about the story.
I-I want to call you captain
Uh, um Lelia agonized for a mont.
Please, let call you
Lelia wanted to say no, but Oscars eyes seed very desperate to call her Captain.
Honestly, Oscar is too small, fragile and short. Hes trying to stimulate his protective instincts. His fine silver hair, fair skin and red eyes looked innocent and delicate. In the original story, Oscar, who had already beco an adult, boasts a beautiful appearance that attracts people. He definitely looked beautiful even though he is still young.
To be honest, Lelia was worried that she would be caught and that they will discover that she is a girl, but she ca here, there are many beautiful children like Roo and Oscar already, so she let go of her worries a little bit.
I, cant I? Is it because of what you saw yesterday?
No, thats not what I an Lelia was afraid that shed die if she heard him call her captain.
My goal is to survive and stay alive!
After a mont of thought, Oscars eyes began to tear up. His lips trembled like a baby cat that was crying.
Okay, wait, wait! No! Call , Call Captain! Just before the tears fell, Lelia managed to shout.
Uh, really?
Oscar blinked. Clear tears flowed down his beautiful face. Lelia hurriedly wiped his tears with the tip of her thumb.
