Dragon Poor

140. From Child to Girl (1)

“Stranger.”

In the first sentence that might sound a little strange, the princess opened her eyes wide. It looked like the old Atka was still there.

“Thoughts and values are different from those born and raised here. ”

No matter how old the princess was to be admitted in this world because she was old enough to get married, it was only a story that seemed far away to him. Though I didn't know it in my head, I couldn't accept it with my heart.

For him, the princess was just a somewhat presumptuous child, and she was only a child now that had grown up and turned into a stranger. It was an objection to picking on a girl like that.

After explaining that, the princess asked with a somewhat calm expression.

“Then you don't like me. ”

“It's not that I don't like it. ”

At first, I thought he was a bit tired. But since then, the princess has helped herself to the bitter side and has never made too much demands. On the contrary, I was close to my favorite side.

However, this was not only a love for the princess as a human being, but also a love for her as a woman.

“That's it. What a complicated thought. What a long speech. ”

I didn't even know if his words were being conveyed properly, or if it was triggered by a little girl who only listened to him or what he wanted to hear.

“No matter how much they talk about their political needs, if they hate each other and have to live with their flesh, nothing is more terrible than that. ”

It was really hard for a young girl to just listen to her manners when she was putting on weight. I felt embarrassed even when I was quite accustomed to the homeless talk of the princess. On the contrary, the princess was only a child.

“But we don't hate each other, so at least we won't have a horrible marriage. ”

The princess said, a little bit of laughter. It seemed like she was joking about something other than the princess. However, Kim Sun-hyuk couldn't help but laugh.

“Behold. And I ask, am I what I was when you first saw me? ”

The little smiling princess bites, and he shakes her head.

“Just as it is natural for a child to become a girl, a girl will someday become a woman. I, too, will soon be like this. Although neither side of it tries, it must be natural. ”

The princess's words were true. It was natural for a child to become a teenager and grow up again, and she was saying that his worries were nothing but trivial.

“But…. ”

Ugh.

Something cold touched my lips before I could spit it out. Later, when he realized that it was the finger of a little girl, he suddenly became numb.

“What you are about to say is not denial and concern. ”

But whether he did or not, the princess only said what she wanted to say. He blushes as he later realizes his trend.

You're good with kids.

I wanted to humiliate my immature attitude.

“Although our relationship cannot be that of a sweet lover, it does not change the fact that I am your fiancée, can you show a little faith to a young fiancée as a man? ”

I wasn't wrong. Now if you're not going to turn your back on your soul, what are you going to do with your gut?

Convinced by the princess' words, he swallowed a number of horses that had come up to the end of his neck.

And then I was comforted by a little girl. He blamed himself for realizing it later.

“Hmm."

However, no matter what I tried to say, it didn't open. The ethics and morals of that undamaged world were still hanging over his mouth.

“Come on, tell me. What sweet words will you say to your little fiancée? ”

The princess was still waiting for his answer.

* *

“What? You said that to the princess? ”

Earl Reinhardt chuckled and laughed as well.

“Let's be honest about this. Or should I say stupid? Looks like the latter. ”

However, when I talked to the princess because I was feeling frustrated, the late Reinhardt teased him.

“Every woman's answer to a question she asks before marriage is like a plea bargain for a lifetime to come, and it seems you have a future ahead of you. ”

Somehow, he frowns at the Prince's joyful attitude.

“Then what do you say? ”

“No offense. You're gonna have to sort it out. It's only you that makes me happy. Not much.”

“You haven't gotten along with the princess yet. ”

He scoffs at the blatant mockery and shoots, and the erl laughs and sees it again.

“I understand the emotion, but it's only when a man knows how to say things he doesn't even want to say. ”

“Hmph. Are you here to gloat? ”

“I don't think so, but somehow it happened. ”

The baron looks at him with a slight look on his face and opens his mouth again.

“So after the princess said that, what did you say? ”

* *

After hesitating for a long time, I picked up and said a single word.

“At least I won't let the princess shed a tear. ”

Though he thought of himself, he thought of a childish and itchy word, but Kim Sun-hyuk couldn't think of anything else.

“Ah…. ”

However, there was something wrong with the princess's expression. She doesn't laugh at his childish commitment and doesn't give him pink glasses for being cold. She was just stunned for a long time as if she'd been hit in the head with a single punch.

“That's funny. I just can't believe you won't shed a tear. ”

Then I thought that there might be a little princess shed tears. The rightful successor to the kingdom and even her own marriage were not right for her to interpret and exploit politically.

“Of course, the princess does not look weak enough to shed tears.... ”

I wanted to quickly explain that the princess's pride was not adequate, but she opened her mouth first.

“But rather than thousands of sweet words, it is strange that your crude words only make me feel happier. ”

The princess smiles brightly as she fears the end of her words. It was a bright smile that was completely different from the dull smile the princess had shown me so far, which seemed virtuous but not age-appropriate.

As if flowers were full, a beautiful smile was filled with freshness at that age.

“I will believe you. ”

Even the voice of the calm princess sounded excited, and Kim Sun-hyuk became even more embarrassed.

* *

“What? You won't shed a tear? ”

Now, Earl Reinhardt grins and coughs as if breathing. How badly you laughed, and the rolling of your feet makes you giggle beyond the small side table.

“What a masterpiece! ”

Even though I was rethinking it now, my face was burning. Even though he was encouraged to give it to her, in the end he was like a confession to a little girl.

“Shhh. Stop smiling. ”

Kim Sun-hyuk tried everything with a blushing face, but the prince laughed for a long time after that. He was a filthy old man even though he hated it.

“Yes, if you like the princess. Yeah, that's it. ”

The voice was still full of laughter, but what came to mind in the monarch's beady eyes was a more complex emotion.

“She's the princess who should always be queen. It's hard to be a normal couple no matter what you meet, so you've never seen girls your own age before. I always felt sorry for that. ”

The baron stares at the table with a mess of tea cups, and says to him,

“The child's growth suddenly caught his eye like a bud sprouting in the spring, and now he's the only mate. The princess has finally become a woman. I'm the only one who didn't know that. ”

She was a princess who had not yet grown up, but Kim didn't stop the Grand Duke by telling her about it.

“You are. I am lacking in many ways for the princess. ”

Suddenly, he frowns, and the baron continues to listen to him more quietly.

“No glorious family, no fancy nobility. All I know how to do is bite the enemy like a wild dog on the battlefield. ”

When I heard it quietly, there was more scolding. This time, the Marquis hits you first because he's determined to take a step and say something.

“I don't mean to be condescending. I feel better now that you're more of an unmanned person than a politician. Even the successor to the throne of a country is delighted to see you as a little girl. ”

There is rarely any warmth in the eyes of the Marquis looking at him.

“Maybe you can get back something the princess really gave up. ”

Suddenly, a single hand on the cauldron grabs his hand tightly.

“A man must keep his word. Do not let the princess mourn and shed tears. This is a request made officially by the head of the royal guard who serves the princess and, historically, by the distant relative of the princess. ”

“Ah…. ”

As Kim Sun-hyuk was ignorant of the royal lineage, I learned for the first time that Earl Reinhardt was a descendant of the royal family of Ades. Knowing that, I felt twice as burdensome as I usually felt.

“If you cause the Princess to shed tears... ”

The monarch does not speak to the end. However, sometimes there is more silence than a hundred words.

* *

Even though the nobles had already arrived at the Royal Road, Kim Sun-hyuk had to stay in the inner circle of the Kingdom for a while. However, it did not force the royal family to leave the inner circle.

I just stayed a little longer to avoid the annoying work of the many nobles who were just waiting for him to show up.

“When do you disagree with me like that? ”

As Sun Hyuk Kim, it was uncomfortable for nobles who criticized their hometown so quickly to get a line to the princess' fiancée.

“That's politics, nobles. ”

On a totally unpolitical topic, Earl Reinhardt bragged.

“I don't seem to fit in with the nobles naturally. ”

“I am the erl and the noble. It's pretty convenient to treat me like that. ”

“The erl, he doesn't look like an original nobleman... ”

It was a pretty presumptuous thing to say, but the prince was not in a bad mood at all.

“Eat up, my friend. Friend.”

I even had another drink, which was a bit bumpy.

It was a situation that could not escape the immunity, so few had to say. Then I got to hang out with the Marquis often and became quite close to him. Now, the messy words are enough to be exchanged with each other.

“Praise. Praise. ”

The Marquis was clearly a grumpy but nonverbal opponent. He was a decent talker, with the exception of occasional flirting.

“There you are.”

Another contact allowed to him at the fortress was Princess Ophelia.

King Theodore persuaded him in advance of the engagement to see if it was necessary for the two of them to be close. With such excuses, he gave him and the princess time to be together.

“Sorry I'm late. ”

Since the engagement was decided, the attitude of the princess changed enormously. The stirring princess has recently started expressing her feelings.

“I've been waiting for this day and night. ”

How nice it is to see you.

“Too bad it's time already. ”

I also showed that I was grieving for my breakup.

Of course, that didn't mean that the princess suddenly felt sorry for herself. The princess looked like a lonely girl who was happy to find her comrade. He was becoming more and more comfortable with the princess.

It was just sometimes awkward for me to wear mature makeup that wasn't age-appropriate and to secretly expect.

“You look good together. ”

“You're beautiful.”

Then I had no choice but to say a compliment under the pressure of something. Every time, the princess smiled brightly as if she had received a compliment that would never happen again.

Don't keep laughing. I love it.

Seeing the princess smiling brightly, it certainly didn't make her uncomfortable like before. Of course, it didn't make me like the princess as a rational person, but it was clear that the relationship had become much more intimate than before.

“Huh?"

By the time I became accustomed to gossiping with the princess and joking with the late Earl Reinhardt, Kim Sun-hyuk always met the unexpected princess.
