Why Are You So Obsessed With Rejecting Affection? Chapter 57

Translator and Editor: Bunny and Einna

But, you said earlier it was a princess?

She was thought to be a prince but shes definitely a princess.

It was said that the prince died but in actuality, a princess was born at that ti.

Soone had deceived everyone.

A young princess everyone thought was dead, returning to the palace after six years. The high priest bowed deeply, foreshadowing the uproar it would cause in the empire.

We will prepare it as soon as possible.

Please, and I want you to keep this a secret until the princess enters.

There was no guarantee that those people who stole the baby wouldnt do anything at the spiritual power verification process, and the process could be potentially dangerous.

You promised you will bring back my little brother! If Father Emperor cant do it, I will bring him myself!

(T/N: Because Lucas still didnt know he has a little sister rather than a little brother, I used the pronoun he.)

Lucas was furious after learning that he had lost his little brother and He (the Emperor) ca back empty handed; He (the Emperor) couldnt refute it.

I have to get my daughter back from the Grand Duke.

He was forced to return to the Imperial Palace for that reason.

He wanted to trace the process of losing his daughter and then hold her in his arms again.

Ill have to call the secret investigation team.

This ti, he will check everything carefully himself.

The Emperor stared at the retreating back of the high priest who was leaving after bowing goodbye and exiting the audience room with a gloomy expression on his face.

6. How to convey happiness

Due to my birthday being right around the corner, Wyndert and Deleign seized right after lunch.

I decided to plan how to throw the party with these two who boasted that they would hold it following my tastes. Of course, it wasnt a very productive ti; in reality, we just checked just how different our tastes were.

Who do you want to invite to the party?

We started with deciding who will be the guests. While I was still contemplating Wynderts question, Deleign already increased the number of guests by a hundredfold.

Lets summon all the vassals of the Grand Duke and have a big party. Lets open a festival for the people too! Party! Festival! Lets have everyone celebrate!

If it is only with our family. What did you say?

While imagining a scenario wherein a lot of people I have never t before are greeting with Happy birthday, Grand Princess!, my body unconsciously trembled.

Big brother, I would like to keep it simple with just our family.

But its Shushus first birthday. And because of this, lets show everyone that Shushu has co to stay with us!

So, do you want to announce my arrival and maybe my death at my birthday party all at once?

I narrowed my eyes and looked at Deleign.

It would be nice if a birthday party like that is even remotely about the actual persons birthday.

ooooow.

As if agreeing with , Miya cried out while wagging her tail gently.

Actually, Shushu is right. Then, lets call only the most important vassals.

Wyndert also agreed with .

Though I dont know if they are trivial or how important the vassals actually are, should I think that it would be better (to hold my party) with just a few of them?

I shut my mouth and nodded.

How would you like the decorations?

Uhm, I think a cake could have just candles.

What? Its the sa as just eating it normally!

But Ive never been to a party other than my welco party.

My brothers began to ponder my words.

I was trying to prepare a perfect party that suits my own tastes, but in the first place, I think I dont know much about how to throw a party.

To our pretty and cute Shushu, why cant we have a party invitation for your birthday?

Dell, Shushu is only six years old. She was never officially introduced to the society and she has to learn proper etiquette again.

Ugh.

It seed like he was saying that I can only invite people to my party once I debut into society as a debutante.

I glanced blankly at Deleigns disdain, gently scratching Miyas chin.

While watching the two of them, the focus of their conversation returned to the main point.

For example, they said that the ribbons should be woven with gold, jewelry should be laid on the floor, that we should put flowers on the wall, and even going as far as to say that we should cover the entire hall with gold.

As we stood still talking, the scale of the party grew bigger and bigger. Do you really think thats alright?

Holy cow.

I looked around and was startled to see Francs enchanted eyes.

Co to think of it, Franc has always liked it the most when there was a lot of money involved Franc also has an exceptional sense when it cos to choosing clothes.

However, there is an overwhelming fascination with expensive things, so I had to work with Nina to balance it out.

Well, it looks like well have to discard the idea of wearing a golden dress, celebrating with a golden cake in a golden room.

I think I should stop it quickly.

Young Lady! Oh my God, His Majesty the Crown Prince is looking for you!

Huh?

Perhaps she heard my wish, Nina suddenly ran into the room and stopped everyones endless branches of thoughts. The only problem is that she stopped the conversation with news I didnt expect at all.

Crown Prince? The Crown Prince?

The Crown Prince that I know?

My mood fell on the floor in an instant.

I couldnt figure out why the Crown Prince had co to the Grand Dukes house at this ti. He also ca to pick up for so reason.

What are you talking about? Why is the Crown Prince looking for a child from our house?

Deleign knitted his brows together tightly and groaned.

Did he poke around like a pin and find our Shushu?

Wyndert also had an ugly expression on his face.

Nina, who ca to tell the news without knowing anything, was shocked and couldnt handle the intense and angry energy of my brothers.

No, dont open the door.

But, there is.

At Wynderts words, Nina burst into tears.

To say that the Crown Prince visited and that we refused to open the door without justifiable reason was no different from disrespecting the Imperial Family.

Nina was suddenly about to be captured by the knights.

No, my God, Shushu. Your head is so hot! (T/N: Deleign was saying Shuelina has a fever.)

Yes?

Deleign clung to all of a sudden, putting his head over my forehead, and started to make a fuss. But when I put my hands on my own forehead, I felt the normal body temperature instead of the hotness Deleign was talking about.

Gasp, cu (te) no, no. Now Shushu, you cant go out because youre sick so lets go to your room now. Oppa will give you a piggyback ride.

Deleign suddenly kneeled on the floor showing his back to . It seed like he was going to use the excuse that I was sick so I couldnt et the Crown Prince.

How very rude.

Unlike usual, Nina had hastily tried to announce sothing but it was too late.

However, the voice behind her stopped talking, as the person in question had bit down on his lips with a scowling face. It was the Crown Prince Lucas and he was even more angry hearing Ninas failure to announce him properly.

Did he always look like that?

Unlike the people of the Grand Duchy with their strong and fierce features, he had a fine and delicate face with slightly curly, silver hair and clear blue eyes resembling the Emperor.

He was completely different from what I had imagined in my head. There was a clear image inside my head that I could picture.

The eyes. His eyes were different.

His large eyes drooped softly as he scanned the living room.

Every ti the prince I knew looked at Shuelina, he used to stare at her with a slightly sharper gaze.

To be precise, a face that looked at with contempt like that was clearly visible in my mind.

Having different eyes looking at doesnt make sense at all.

It feels like the character Ive only read about through text that ca to my mind, has different eyes now.

Was it because I was aware that he was the Crown Prince?

I dont know how vividly it would have been if I had read the original work so clearly, but I kept imagining his unforgettable cold eyes.

Of course, what I imagine is the adult Crown Prince, whom Shuelina t after entering the Imperial Palace.

He is only ten years old now, so his childhood and my imagination of him must also have been different.

Even though I thought so, it was awkward to see his soft, pitiful face that seed like it was trying to appeal to .

Its you.

Lucas approached with a face that seed sohow moved. I flinched as I watched the friendly-faced boy approach .

My na is Lucas Lapis Evening de Abunicia, Crown Prince of this Empire. I really missed you, my little sister.

The Crown Prince who reached out to with a delicate and pitiful face.

Saying that shes your little sister when shes the Grand Princess.

[Excuse but are you crazy?] Is what my eyes were telling my older brother. (T/N: In case you misunderstood, she wasnt saying that to her biological brother Lucas but instead to Deleign.)

Shes my younger sister. My second brother growled like a dog baring his teeth.

ow! The white cat whacked its tail against the ground quickly, crying out its dissatisfaction.

Oh my goodness.

What is this?

The two maids were startled by the situation they found themselves in for the first ti.

Soon, the atmosphere in the reception room was completely destroyed.

I didnt know if I should bla the Crown Prince who suddenly appeared, or if I should bla my brothers for not being polite and refusing to et with him.

Im really curious as to how this happened.

Wow, what a ss.

I put my hand on my forehead and looked at the Crown Prince.

It is nice to see the little Lord of this Empire. My na is Shuelina de Vaillot.

Why, why are you speaking so harshly? And youre an Abunicia, not a Vaillot. Youre also my little sister.

The words of the Crown Prince, who firmly asserted that I am the princess of the Abunicia Empire, further complicate the situation. While I was greeting him, I heard the maids who were bowing down on the floor near , gasping for breath.

Didnt our Young Lady co from the orphanage?

Is she, is she a real Imperial Princess?

The maids couldnt help but murmur in confusion.

Since they were my exclusive maids, I dont think it will be difficult to get involved and prevent rumors, but if this continues, the rumors will spread throughout the mansion no matter what I do.

I have no desire to regain the status of an Imperial Princess, and this would make my daily life chaotic.

More than anything you werent like that.

Shuelina loved and resented you so much at the sa ti.

Youre so different from Azuela. You shouldnt covet and try to steal soone elses power.

Cold eyes that pierced like lightning. I was convinced that he couldnt be my brother. So is the person who ca to now my brother?

If I only look at the sequence of events in the book, the original happenings havent happened yet so this event was unprecedented.

However, it felt to that Lucas mistreatnt of Shuelina in the original novel was an earlier event and thats why Lucas visit didnt seem like a good thing. It just felt terrible.

Father Emperor couldnt bring you so I ca instead. Co with to the Imperial Palace.

I only have two brothers, right brother Wyndy? Youre not my family, Your Highness.

Hugging tightly as if he would lose , Wyndert smiled in satisfaction.

Thats right. I think youve got the wrong place, Your Highness, because Shushu is my little sister. You should go and look elsewhere.
