Chapter 9 - The Emperor's Story - Part. III

This is bad.

I haven't developed my telekinesis yet, because my body is still too young, so I can't communicate with him.

So he'll tell them that I'm his child, and all the kids will hate me.

Davey and the other five kids are already one year old.

And, I don't look like Eirwen at all.

The last thing I want right now is the male lead's hatred directed at me.

"Why are you looking at me as if you were annoyed by my suggestion?"

Because I am!

"Don't you like the option of being my illegitimate daughter?"

I denied it hard and he laughed.

"Then we have to think about something else."

I smile at him, trying to thank him for understanding me or at least trying to and he smiles back.

"By the look at your face, I can see that you like this better. Then, what if I just adopt you and grant you the princess' title?"

I see you can use your head properly.

Now we're talking, I nodded.

"Yes, this looks better. At least, like this, Davey, my older son, and heir can be considered a worthy love interest to you."

What the hell is he's saying?

I can't be with the freaking male lead!

I'm supposed to change the story but not to this degree, so, unfortunately, I'm out of his league.

"Do you want me to let the people know about you?"

Why would I want that?

It would be better if I can act in the shadows, it would give me a lot of freedom.

Something I wouldn't have otherwise.

I denied it.

"No? Then you want me to only let the people in the castle know about you?"

I nodded, this way I'll still be deprived of doing several things, as I'll be considered a princess, and once the people in the castle will know about it, they'll have to respect me and treat me like my position demand.

But at least I'll be able to do a lot of things that as an official and known princess I wouldn't be able to. And if I befriend the servants, I'll be able to do way more.

"You like your freedom, right?"

Of course, I do.

Who doesn't?

I nodded.

"I understand. Being an official royal is bothersome, once we can't do much, being the target of everybody's judgment, without saying about the deep pressure in our shoulders to always act like an example and never fail."

Little he knows that his son will suffer a lot with this.

But not so much if it depends on me.

Someone knocked on the door and when he allowed the old maid to enter, she was bringing our dinner.

There was a plate with hot soup, a cup with water, and a baby bottle containing what looks like warm milk.

A baby like me should drink her mom's milk, but if I drink this it won't be bad, once I'm an immortal, it won't make me sick or anything.

"My name is, Konan, I'm the inn owner. We saw that you had a baby with you, then we took the initiative to bring warm milk to her, the baby bottle it's clean so you don't have to worry."

She's kind and has good energy emanating from her.

"Thank you, very much, can you..."

"Of course, I can give it to her."

She looked at me with a lovely smile and I felt my heart warm, I smile at her and she held me.
