The day after my encounter with Sir Gregory at the library, I started crawling-
Well, I start crawling in front of them.
But the problem was that I started crawling perfectly, once I was doing this every night for two months straight, my body was already used to it.
Rae and the butler were shocked as hell, but Sir Gregory only laughed and feigned surprise, that bastard-
["So, you was afraid that I would tell them that you were already crawling?"]
["No, you idiot. It's just that once you saw me, it was kinda the motive I was waiting for to show Rae that I'm already crawling."]
["If that's the case, you're welcome!"]
I rolled my eyes and he laughed.
"Are you bored, Princess?"
Rae asked with kind eyes and my heart melted.
I wish I had this when I was a real baby... someone that acted as a mother to me.
"The princess is so smart to her age, isn't she?"
Of course, I am, Georgie ~ that's the butler's name.
"She's a genius. I saw her reading a book I'd left in her bed when I wasn't looking."
Both I and Sir Gregory look at her surprised.
"Reading? Literally reading?"
Georgie asked startle.
["Didn't you notice when this happened?"]
I stared at Sir Gregory, but I didn't have an answer.
"Yes. Her lips even whispered the words briefly, I was so shocked that my mind went blank."
["That explains why I didn't notice her."]
["It makes sense. But why did you do that? I thought you only read things in the library, and that was why you was crawling in secret and in the middle of the night."]
["Believe in me- that was literally, the only time this happened."]
["You must be very unlucky, then."]
["Oh, shut up, you idiot."]
["Well, that's a good side. Now you won't have to go crawling in secret and in the middle of the night into the library."]
["It's not so simple. She only brings childish books when she goes to my room."]
["Mm-hmm- as if you were a grown-up to read other things."]
Is he mocking me?
This bastard...
"Do we send a letter to the Emperor about it? She's going to make one year in two weeks, but she's already crawling perfectly, reading, and almost talking."
Rae asks looking at Sir Gregory and Georgie.
["What do you think? Do we send a letter to him about it?"]
["No! If you do this, he will try to come here. And he must spend time with his children and women. I don't wanna be killed by them so soon."]
He held his laughter and I rolled my eyes again.
"I don't think it's the wiser choice."
He said out loud.
"No?"
Both Rae and Georgie asked together.
"No! He's spending time with his children and woman. Nor his woman or his children know about Evie. If he knew this, he would try to come here, which would hurry things as Evie's meeting with them. Both of us know what the Empress and the Queens would try to do with this kid. And I believe I'm not the only one who doesn't want this kid to be the victim of attempts at her life so soon."
["If I didn't know better, I would think you care about me."]
"You are right!"
Rae said with a very worried gaze.
[I don't want that snake being close to this precious kid at all. Neither their children. And if I thought about it, if they knew she's a genius, they would be very envious. What I don't want to happen, as it would cause a lot of unfortunate situations for Evie. It would be best to keep it a secret for the time being.]
"So let's keep this between us."
She said firmly and both she and Sir Gregory stared at Georgie.
[Oh, come on, you two. I won't tell them anything. I liked the kid. And I absolutely despise the Empress and the Queens.]
Good to know.
