Chapter 6
As the birthday party approached, the palace of the imperial palace became more and more busy. In this case, Isis has not come to visit for a long time.
As more people come and go, I can get more information. For example, I heard the news of his return from “Spring Hunting”.
“Aisha!”
Perhaps because of this, he holds a special gift in his hand today.
Seeing that gift, I was a little at a loss.
Under normal circumstances, he will bring a toy or a beautiful flower that a child likes, but today he has something special in his hand.
“This is bear skin. I caught it myself during this hunting activity.”
“It’s a very strong bearskin.” He grinned.
what? He catch a bear?
I was so shocked that I couldn’t control my expression anymore.
He is only 9 years old, how can he catch bears?
Although I knew he was very talented in martial arts for a long time, but it was beyond my imagination.
Then he said in an excited tone there:
“Not only that, Aisha, I have a birthday present for you!”
What is that again?
I couldn’t guess at all, I just blinked. But the next moment he put his index finger on his lips.
“But it’s a secret, wait until your birthday to tell you!”
As he said, he showed a bright smile.
Although it feels a little absurd, I think I can only wait until the birthday party.
A few days later, noble guests came to the palace.
Just a few days before the birthday party, my only grandfather and grandmother came to the palace. Hearing the news of the arrival of the two, the empress hurried over happily. Maybe this is not in line with the etiquette of the palace, but she was really very happy.
Then it was a warm time for the Marquis of Russell and his daughter to meet again.
As soon as they saw each other, the three gave each other a warm hug.
“How are you, kid?”
The Marquis Russell was a man with blue eyes and silver hair, and the Marquise had grass green eyes and brown hair.
My memories when I was born are vague, I only remember seeing them once, so they are very fresh to me.
“Of course, His Majesty the Emperor is very kind to me.
The empress smiled shyly like a girl.
“Then Aisha also grew so healthy.”
Then she began to spare no effort to brag about me, such as “She can walk five steps in a row”, “She don’t usually cry too much” and so on.
Actually I am used to it.
People often praise how cute Aisha is, and I feel a little embarrassed occasionally. But in my opinion, these words are really correct.
Wait, if you think about it again, how could the empress praise me so hard today?
The Marquis de Russell and his wife nodded.
“Okay, okay, just take a look.”
“Already grown this big?”
I followed the Empress’s instructions and sat on the small couch far away.
The Marquise of Russell picked me up naturally, like a mother familiar with parenting.
“It’s so cute, like an elf that appeared in the cold winter, I really want to take a bite.”
The Marquis of Russell looked at me and made a satisfied expression.
When I was born, they might also have that expression on their faces. The expression that I can’t hide because I love you too much.
The reception room was full of seats prepared for us.
The marquis said to the empress:
“I brought some toys for the child, do you want to see it?”
Oh, that is…
As soon as the marquis waved, several attendants entered. Each of them held a box with a beautiful ribbon in their hands.
There are beautiful balls, gold jewelry, sturdy leather shoes, biscuits for children, and fairy tale books from the north.
ㅡFairy Tale Books?
I gritted my teeth.
Thanks to my past lives, I can still read a little Emir.
But that is my own secret, because no one else has heard me speak.
But what’s the point of giving a fairy tale book that children can’t read?
“This time we brought a fairy tale book. I hope that when she grow up, Aisha will also care about the north.”
As if answering doubts, the Marquis of Russell said this. In any case, he was very proud of his territory and the north, and his face looked very pleased.
“Because I don’t know when I can come to the capital again, I want to prepare gifts in advance.”
The atmosphere quieted down instantly.
As the Russell family guarding the border, of course there are not many opportunities to come to the capital.
The empress seemed a little sad, but nodded anyway.
They asked me to play with a toy, and I did. I appeared to be very interested in the illustrations in the fairy tale book. Of course, it is the secret that I can read the article, so I held the beautiful ball in my hand. The ball is neither heavy nor light, it fits my hand well.
“Do you like it?”
The marquises was very happy and laughed.
“This is a gift from us. If Aisha like it I will be very happy.”
I rolled the ball, hugged it tightly, and tried to throw it far. Recently, my hands have become stronger, and playing with toys has become much more interesting.
The three of them seemed to think that I was too cute, and they kept staring at me.
The tea time has been a long time ago, and the queen who was playing with me started drinking tea with the Marquis Russell and his wife.
“Are you doing well in the north?” the empress asked cautiously.
I pretended to play with a ball, but I was listening with my ears upright. After all, there is no harm in listening to the country’s development situation. This information is very important.
I heard the voice of the Marquis of Russell.
“Is it the guy from Edenbell?”
After that, it fell into silence
As mentioned earlier, the Russell family is located on the border, and it is the Edenbell Empire that borders it, which has been a competing empire of the Emir Empire for centuries.
I bit my lip lightly.
I learned a fact in the dialogue, that is, the Marquis of Russell hates the Edenbell Empire very much.
Probably because in the process of guarding the border, every time they defeated the Edenbell Empire, I would lose my subordinates countless times.
At this point, I am very satisfied with the Marquis of Roussel. The more he scolded the Edenbell Empire, the more I liked him.
The Marquis not only wanted to defeat the Edenbell Empire, but also wanted to further defeat it. Then he told a lot of stories like this, and the more I listened, the more impatient I got.
I sincerely hope that he can continue to tell the story about the Edenbell Empire.
To be precise, it is about the royal family of the Edenbell Empire.
That is a sense of betrayal.
How are they…
I turned around and sneered in vain.
I have been dead for a year.
What are the royal families of the Edenbell Empire doing now?
And how good you are.
Whenever this kind of imagination comes to mind, my heart feels extremely desolate.
But at the same time, I am also curious about their news.
I bit my lip.
at this time.
“How can I say, I heard some rumors on the way here.”
“What rumor?”
The Marquis seemed unhappy.
“That is to say, at this birthday party, the Edenbell Empire will send envoys to send gifts. Is it true?”
Hearing that sentence, I shook with the ball, and the ball fell from my hand.
…Envoy? My heart was pounding.
The so-called competitor means at least admitting that the other party is a good opponent. Since they are envoys sent to such neighboring countries, they will not send individuals casually, at least they will be high-ranking nobles, or…
Couldn’t it be the royal family coming directly?
The royal family traveled here to celebrate the birthday of the Princess Aisha, although it is unlikely, but… I don’t want to see them at all.
The Marquis sneered.
“…Ah.” I prayed to God.
ㅡPlease listen to my wish.
It is actually a royal family.
Do I need to see them again?
Of course, their news is not necessarily reliable. After all, I heard this news from the Marquis for the first time.
However, if I see the royal family of Edenbell again…
Can I stay awake?
My heart beat faster.
The Marquis continued:
“Where to go? Even if you don’t do that, the situation there is terrible.”
“Among the royal family…”
Hearing this, I can no longer bear my uneasy emotions.
As a baby, there is only one easiest way to vent your anxiety.
“Waah!”
I couldn’t help crying loudly. The teardrops in the eyes began to drip in succession.
Seeing me crying suddenly, the empress hurriedly got up from her seat.
“What’s wrong, what’s wrong? Aisha, are you okay?”
I couldn’t answer, tears pattered down my eyes.
So, the empress picked me up.
In her arms, there is a warm, familiar smell. I have felt this kind of smell before I was born. It is a warm smell from the heart.
