I often wondered what heâs doing now. Anyway, I heard that Praezia was in the south, so there were dry and rainy seasons, and there was no winter. Was he conquering South Praezia well? I hope he came back without getting hurt.
It reminded me of my childhood. I used to wait like this when my dad went on a business trip.
When I became silent, Graecito looked at me. I didnât know why heâs so scared of me. Sometimes he seemed to notice my feelings better than Serira. He might become a womanizer when he grew up. Thinking that I should educate him in advance, I caught Graecitoâs eye.
âBut sometimes Iâll let you borrow my mom.â
âAre you sure you use your heart and mind?â
What the heck was he saying?
This was the leisure of oneâs who had a mother. I wanted to hit him. Should I hit him or not? Why would he say heâll let me borrow his mom? Graecito inflated his cheek when I rejected his âfavorâ.
âPrincess!â
âHmm?â
If it wasnât for Serira calling me, weâd already been beating each other and fighting. Serira came up urgently.
âYouâll have to go to Bolcena.â
âWhy?â
Bolcena was the mansion of Silvia and Ferdel.
Why were we going there right now? It was more doubtful since the sun was about to set. Serira explained in a serious voice under my sharp gaze.
âHer labor began in the morning, and sheâs just about to give birth now.â
âBut itâs not her due date yet!â
Her due date was supposed to be next week! By the way, I was worried about her since I heard that having the first child was so difficult. However, if oneâs labor started this morning, and theyâre having a baby, how long must one endure the pain of labor? I was so worried about Silvia.
Oh, damn it, I should hurry.
âLetâs go!â
I put on another coat Elene brought, and I looked back at Graecito, who was still standing there.
âSee you later!â
âPrincess!â
As soon as I arrived at Bolcena, Ferdel hugged me in his arms even before I unclothed my coat. I couldnât tell him to let go of me while heâs welcoming me as if I was a lifeguard.
Hey, let me take my clothes off!
âWhat should I do, Princess? My Sil is in so much pain! I want to go in there and hold her hand, but they wonât let anyone inside. What if she dies during labor? My wife is about to die while giving birth. I feel like she really might die. Princess, what if something happens to your younger sister or brother?â
