I was trying to hide today as well, but I was noticed in an instant! I looked around in embarrassnt and looked up at the Grand Duke with small tears welling up in my eyes.
But the Grand Duke and Wyndert had brazen smiles plastered all over their satisfied faces.
My daughter is the spirit this year.
Its a natural result. There is no way the spirits wouldnt choose Shushu.
I was shy because of the two of them being so openly proud that my cheeks instantly heated up. I didnt really believe in the protection of the spirits in particular, but I think I liked the fact that I was chosen by the Spirits and that my family was happy.
But, by the way what do you do when you beco the Spirit of the Year?
I already knew about the belief that youll receive the Spirits protection and pass the year safely if you beco the Spirit of the Year. But it wasnt clear what the Spirit of the Year was doing specifically.
The Grand Duke opened his mouth to answer my question and at that mont, the high priest ca down from the altar and reached out to .
Then, Spirit of the Year, please co here.
Yes, yes!
The high priest called for before I could even hear anything properly, so I had no choice but to approach him.
I would look bad if I acted timidly at a ti like this, so I walked confidently, but deep down I just wanted to be stuck next to the Grand Duke. I felt like a hedgehog covered with thorns, with everyones eyes glued to from every angle. I could feel their prickly gazes that seed unable to understand why I was chosen and not a mber of the Imperial Family, and so their congratulations were very quiet and full of unsaid questions.
The Empress and Azuela
They were looking at with sharp eyes that seed as if they wanted to drill a hole in my face. Azuelas lips were trembling, but then she cald down again after the Empress hand rested on her shoulder.
As if I stole what was hers
It was the sa expression the last ti I saw her. Strictly speaking, you were the one who stole my spirit power and was chosen as the spirit every year!
I turned my head and looked only at the high priest, then stopped at the altar.
Now, co here. Just hit the bell three tis.
I held up the silver rod that the high priest gave to and proceeded towards the front of the bell.
The mont when the clear bell rang twice, sothing big shook the ground, and a huge monster fell from the ceiling.
It was Miya who had a more ferocious appearance.
* * *
Azuela was staring blankly at the huge monster that had fallen in front of the altar.
A huge majestic monster with golden eyes and white fur. Its fur was so strong that the knights were unable to damage even the tips of her hair when they swung their swords. Moreover, she beca more ferocious when the blue ribbon the cat was holding in its mouth was torn, to the point where the temple was damaged and torn up from her violent thrashing.
Thanks to that, there were people who only wanted to run away. Coincidentally, so of them might have been evacuated if the entrance of the temple wasnt blocked and surrounded by the spirit power.
What, what, what is that!
Azuela felt the fear of death the mont she t the monsters eyes. Her frightened figure was reflected on the monsters large golden eyes, her fragile and pitiful appearance she always imitated ca out of nowhere, only this ti it was a genuine reaction.
H-help !
Azuela reflexively looked at her mother first. However, the Empress had already shielded her own body after putting a very shocked knight in front of her. Then, she saw her father saving her older brother and throwing himself towards Shuelina who was next to him.
Kyaaah! Please co this way, Your Highness the Imperial Princess!
Fortunately, the nanny, Countess Orsena, was brave enough and yanked Azuela back. As if freed from magic, she moved her trembling legs and stepped back.
Why do you keep looking at !
Id rather you bite and kill the hateful Shuelina! But the monster was only staring at Azuela no matter what she thought.
Azuela fled to her mothers side and gripped the hem of her skirt.
Ella, take a look. Thats
Then the Empress whispered in Azuelas ear very softly. That monster that suddenly popped out seems to be the one they thought was running rampant in the Grand Duchy.
The plan seems to have gone awry. The empress whispered, biting her smooth red lips.
They were originally planning to let the monster run rampant in the Grand Duchy throughout the New Years festival, and if the Grand Duke could not handle it, Azuela was then going to co up with a solution. She was planning to use the power of charm to defeat the monster.
Ah! This might be the best opportunity.
She will be the most talked about topic if she succeeds in defeating the monster in front of all the nobles. If that was the case, then it was nothing compared to being unable to be chosen as the Spirit of the Year.
That was my position
My ambition to be chosen as Spirit of the Year every year was shattered this year. Its all because of Shuelina. The spirit made the wrong choice because Shuelina kept trying to intercept without returning my power.
Not all the bells rang.
The last bell hasnt rang, so this years event isnt over yet.
Perhaps, even the spirits will admire and recognize the true owner of that position if I defeat the monster.
Azuela took one step ahead with a determined face, along with a hopeful imagination.
Listen to for a mont!
Realizing that no one could escape, the temple was filled with screams of fear and lantation. anwhile, everyones screams beca even louder when Azuela suddenly stepped out in front of the monster. They were all imagining that the fragile Imperial Princess would be torn to pieces at once.
Kyaaah! Imperial Princess, please step back!
No!
Stimulated by the screams of the people, the monsters tail pounded on the floor, making it even more ferocious. Azuela put her finger on her lips and shook her head.
Everyone, please be quiet. Ill try to solve it with my spirit power!
Azuela! Sweetheart, its dangerous!
The Empress faithfully played the role of a pitiful mother fearing that she would lose her child while knowing Azuelas plans a situation where a six-year-old Imperial Princess set out to save everyone.
Everyone watched the heroic spectacle with their eyes wide open, except for those who were fainting or sobbing.
I will edify this monster with the power of my enchantnt.
Those who had seen Azuela enchanting animals on a regular basis looked at her hopefully. The situation attracted everyones attention as she had hoped.
Azuela glanced at Shuelina. She was foolishly ignorant of where she should belong, but she will soon admire her greatness. I am looking forward to seeing what kind of expression you will have.
Why are you so calm?
Next to the bell, Shuelina remained calm for her age. She wasnt having a seizure, crying, or fainting. She was just looking at Azuela and the monster with a slight frown.
Anyway, that face will soon disappear.
Firmly believing that Shuelina harbors a great sense of inferiority towards her, Azuela decided to focus on the task in front of her.
The monster was blocking all incoming attacks with one of its front paws. Azuela put her hand on her chest and used her enchanting powers on the monster in front of her.
She was a little worried that the remaining power in her Brilliant was less than she expected, but she was mostly certain that she wouldnt fail. Moreover, there was no way that the monster wouldnt obey her since it was a monster born with a portion of her own power.
Co here.
Azuela reached out her hand with her nightingale voice and called out to the monster. The monster then rushed like an arrow in front of Azuela.
Thats right kyaaah!
The mont Azuela was convinced of her success and smiled happily, the monster raised her front paws and tried to slam them into her body.
Imperial Princess!
Fortunately, the knights who were protecting Azuela blocked it with their swords. They were thrown by the enormous amount of force from the large feline even though they had braced themselves for the impact.
No way! It cant be like this!
It was a monster created through her transford spirit power, but she couldnt understand why her ability wasnt working on it. However, what she was certain of was that the monster had murderous intent towards Azuela.
There was no one to stop it this ti; sharp claws flew towards her. She trembled and closed her eyes. A large shadow stretched over her body.
Stop!
At that mont, a loud voice resounded inside the temple.
With a stern expression on her face, Shuelina was held in the Emperors arms and held out her hand towards the monster. The monster that Azuela couldnt even stop even though she tried so hard, stopped like magic at Shuelinas words.
* * *
After Miya stopped in response to my voice, the inside of the temple beca silent. If it hadnt been for the squeaks from skidding paws, I wouldnt have known what had just happened.
Th-that monster listened to the orders of the Grand Princess!
How did this happen?
The voices of people in confusion were heard.
I tapped the Emperors arm, aning for him to let go of .
I didnt know the Emperor would lift up
After Miya attacked, the Emperor who rescued Lucas imdiately threw himself at . Then he hugged tight as if he wouldnt let get hurt.
Thanks to the Grand Duke and Wyndert who flew towards as well, there wasnt even a speck of debris that flew near .
The ribbon being cut was unplanned.
The ribbon was a ans of controlling Miya. It was like a bond with , and as soon as the ribbon was cut, Miya imdiately started running rampant. Thanks to this, the temple was torn down a little and people were very scared.
I didnt know in the first place that it would beco such a rough atmosphere
This was my mistake.
I had to give up on the trap set up for Azuela and recreate Miyas ribbon to fix it, now that everything had co to this. Miya might actually run out to a nobles territory and attack them if her wild nature continues to be revived like this. It had to be stopped sohow.
How did you stop it?
The Emperor looked at curiously and asked after I jumped out of his arms. I puffed my cheeks, then sighed.
The cats na is Miya.
The nobles began to roar when my words were finished. Many of them protested that a big accident happened while I was trying to raise a monster, and that I should be punished right away.
That kid (the monster) was found at the Grand Duchys Monster Forest. If she had been left there, the Grand Duchy would be the one devastated by now.
Isnt the Grand Princess turning the Imperial Palace into a ss instead of the Grand Duchy?
Your Majesty, we must punish that monster and the Grand Princess together right now!
Before I could even finish my words, the cry of the panicked nobles imdiately resounded. Of course, my voice as a child was easily buried by that loud cacophony.
Then the Emperor and the Grand Duke growled as they threatened the nobles.
No one should speak until the child has finished speaking.
You dare to punish my daughter, are you out of your mind?
The surroundings beca quiet in an instant when both the Emperor and the Grand Duke got angry at the sa ti.
(T/N: I am living at the mont when the Emperor was finally hugging Shuelina kyaaah)
