While Esti was having a noisy day with her friends.

The Abrünn royal court was noisy in another sense.

“Oh, what should I do? Our Estee, she must be crying because she’s scared and misses her sister… .”

“That can’t be true, Sister Maria.”

First Princess Maria, who is just stomping her feet, and Second Princess Elena, who is trying to console her.

The reason they were like this from the morning was because of the report that came up in the morning.

The Academy’s survival test on Mont Blanc.

It turns out that the dragon was suddenly resurrected there.

I’m worried about Esti who participated there and I don’t know what to do.

Of course, they weren’t the only ones worried about Estee.

“Abama, I’ll go!! Esti must have been really embarrassed… .”

“Pierre. Leave it alone. I’ll go myself.”

“Brother Ron is busy because he is the crown prince. I should go.”

Taking advantage of this opportunity, 1st Prince Ron and 2nd Prince Pierre are eager to go see their youngest brother’s face.

The two of them were so energetic that they were trembling as if they were going to run at any moment.

And lastly. Emperor Everard, the sun of the empire.

He took a deep breath at the mess unfolding before his eyes,

“——Be quiet.”

I just blurted out one word: be quiet.

That voice was indeed full of the majesty of an emperor.

At those majestic words, the children should bow and remain quiet…

“But Abamama! Esti, Esti… !”

“… Should I go, Abamama? Esti follows me a lot. ”

“Elena. I said I’m going?”

“Brother, you should get out too!! I have the most free time these days, and my little brother likes me the most! It’s right for me to go!!”

“——Huh?”

… Instead of being calm, they began exchanging glances in a fierce manner.

The most harmonious generation in the history of the empire, who didn’t even compete for the throne, suddenly changes like this whenever Esti is mentioned.

A wrinkle formed between the emperor’s eyebrows.

‘I wonder if I did a good job raising my children, or if I did a bad job… sigh. I miss Esti.’

“Stop it. It’s natural for Estee to love her father, Jim, the most, so why are you fighting over something so trivial?”

“… … … .”

However, the emperor could not stand the declaration that ‘I am the one Estee likes the most’.

A coldness settled in the eyes of the other four.

What the hell is this old man talking about?

… In that shameful sight, there was someone alone sweating like a waterfall.

“Caeng… .”

‘What kind of illiterate person is this… I can’t say anything because it’s my fault. Sigh.’

An elite bureaucrat who has walked the path to success. However, he is now an icon of misfortune who has been driven to the brink of high treason.

Academy President, Ker-Rogg.

Everyone’s eyes were focused on the pitiful sobs he let out.

“… Anyway, Estee doesn’t have to worry. The president responded quickly, and the dragon was successfully subdued. ”

“Your Majesty, Your Majesty…!!”

“The dragon was asleep, and he didn’t even notice the danger and threw Esti into the limbs, so he deserved to die a hundred times.”

“… … .”

Ker-Rogg, who went between heaven and hell in an instant with just one word from the emperor.

… He also had a lot to say.

No, we must have checked to see if there was any danger where the princess was going.

We investigated the monster habitats as a basic task, and cleaned up each and every branch so that you would not experience any inconvenience.

But then suddenly, out of nowhere, a dragon appeared out of the ground?

Who would have expected this, honestly?

I was so upset that the meat in my hand was trembling.

But instead of protesting, the president remained silent.

Because he could not fail to notice the subtle anger in the eyes of the Emperor and Esti’s siblings.

Now he was half a traitor.

At that sight, the emperor clicked his tongue.

“… First, we need to decide on the president’s treatment. What do you guys think? ”

“The sin of carelessly putting Esti in danger. He deserves to die.”

“Brother, at least you caught the dragon. Let’s take credit for that and let him serve in the military for another 20 years or so.”

“I will follow Abamama’s opinion.”

Afterwards, a meeting began regarding the president’s treatment.

Prince Ron, let’s kill him.

Second Prince, Pierre. Killing him is a bit much, so let’s have him serve in the military for another 20 years or so.

1. Princess Maria. I don’t know, so I will abstain.

After a quick gathering of opinions, everyone’s attention turned towards the second princess, Elena.

… It has changed a lot now, but in the ‘original work’, she was the one who purged all her brothers and sisters and reigned as the Iron-Blooded Crown Princess.

In her expressionless face, the president gave up hope in life.

‘I guess this is where my life ends. Haa, there are still many lessons I have not taught…’

“——Ask yourself. What kind of decision will you make?”

“… … ?”

… the hope in life that had been abandoned shone brightly again.

The principal looks up in surprise. The other family members look at Elena in surprise as well.

It was no wonder they were surprised.

Because she was such a ferocious being in the original, she is the family member that Esti likes the most.

That is, she was the older sister who was closest to Estee.

She’s such a tough sell, so you’re saying we should leave it to Estee?

Considering Estee’s personality, isn’t it basically saying let’s give her some leeway?

Everyone was shocked, thinking, “There’s no way this guy would do that.”

However, everyone nodded in agreement with what followed.

“If you execute her arbitrarily, Esti will be angry. She will be sad that she died because of you.”

“Well, still. It’s for Estee, right? The charges are sufficient, even if it’s Estee… .”

“You might hate us and say, “Why did you kill me, Sister?” ”

“… … .”

What if Esti finds out about the president’s decision?

It’s basic to be depressed because someone died because of me.

Furthermore, I could have been very angry and said, ‘I’m fine, so why did you kill me!? I hate you, brother and sister!!’

Not a single person in the family wanted that ending.

“… If anyone disagrees with Elena’s opinion, please raise your hand.”

“… … .”

“It seems like there isn’t. Then, I will ask Esti directly about the treatment of President Ker-Rogg. That’s all. ”

‘I, I survived…!!!’

A color came to the president’s face.

You’re asking the Third Princess, who is so compassionate and well-educated and has cat ears that suit her, for her treatment?

Innocence is something I can only dream of…

At least you won’t be executed or re-enlisted.

Long live Princess Elena, long live Princess Esti.

“Then. I will choose one person to visit the Academy and explain the situation to Estee.”

“That’s exactly me… !!!”

“Let’s see who understands Estee the best, honestly.”

“… … Yes?”

Meanwhile, the emperor said something suspicious.

The princes and princesses’ eyes were drawn to the words that could not be ignored.

“What is that… .”

“Take turns asking questions. Information about Estee, such as her favorite food.”

“Wow. Is this a quiz? Sounds fun.”

The so-called ‘ESTI Quiz Contest’.

Interest appeared on everyone’s faces.

Since everyone was proud of knowing Estee better than anyone else, they were confident that they would win.

“You are a good person. As expected from Abamama… .”

“——By the way, Jim will be joining too.”

“… … Yes?”

… Of course, no one was as confident as the Emperor, who was so intent on getting involved in his children’s fights that he was dirty and ugly.

* * *

The close battle that lasted about two hours ended.

The one who beat Elena, who remained until the end, and answered correctly until the end was the Emperor himself.

… In return, there was a slight look of disgust in the children’s eyes.

‘No, why do you know my daughter’s weight and height to the nearest 0.01 cm?’

‘How did you know that Estee closes her eyes while washing? Ugh, it makes me sick.’

“Haha. Is this all? You guys still lack something.”

Of course, the emperor was smiling brightly.

Dignity? Didn’t the children originally think of the emperor as a neighborhood uncle?

It was a hundred times more valuable to go see Estee than to do something like that.

So the emperor happily completed his work.

Even tasks that would normally take hours can now be completed in just 10 minutes.

He also gave imperial orders to the people who brought him incidents and accidents from all over the country.

My appetite has returned today, so I finished the bowl of soup with some bread.

Choosing a gift for Estee… took me about three or four hours, but anyway.

Then the Emperor, in a cheerful mood, headed to the Chancellor and the Academy.

“Your Majesty, prepare the knights and the carriage… .”

” It was done. Just bring one knight commander. ”

“Yes? Your Majesty.”

“Is there any need to spread rumors that this is the Emperor’s procession? This is a secret procession, so know that and prepare lightly.”

“… Yes.”

After finishing all the work.

The Emperor headed to the Academy in simple attire that was unbecoming of an Emperor.

Before long, the president, the knight commander, and the emperor passed through the main gate of the academy confidently and secretly.

“Stop. Who… Hmm? Ker-log?”

“Let me pass quietly.”

“No, it won’t work. No matter what the president says, the procedure is… .”

“——It is an imperial edict.”

“… … Huh!? Yes, old!!!”

After a few minor incidents, where a guard who was trying to check the room according to procedure sees the Emperor’s face and becomes a drinking snack for the rest of his life,

The three arrived at Esti’s mansion, which had an impressive red roof.

The emperor’s chest swelled.

Oh, my daughter. You must be surprised after not seeing your father for so long and having such an experience yesterday.

Everything is okay now. Feel free to hug your father and feel safe.

Then, the emperor personally opened the door to the mansion and marched out.

-Squeak.

‘My daughter, Esti Noir d’Abruen! Jim has come, let me see your face!’

Maybe it was because of my mood, but as soon as I opened the door to the mansion, a sweet scent filled the air, making me feel like I was in heaven.

The emperor walked majestically with his eyes closed, as if enjoying the fragrance of Estee…

-Dodododododo.

“Sister~!! Catch me if you can~!!!”

“… … Hmm?”

At the same time, as the Knight Commander and the General of the Order of the Knights who discovered something suddenly froze, a being rushed in.

and…

-Pfft!

“Huhkyaaak!!!?”

“… … … Hmm?”

The mass then brazenly cast a body slam on the emperor.

However, the knight commander who accompanied the emperor to escort him in this attack was shocked and just trembled.

Only the Emperor, who had allowed the completely unexpected attack, stumbled and fell on his butt.

Falling backwards with someone bumping into you.

The emperor, who was wondering for a moment what was going on, blinked for a moment and looked down…

‘Raid? No, what did the Knight Commander do…?’

“Ugh, it hurts… .”

“… … ?”

My head was filled with question marks.

The face of the being entangled above him now is his youngest daughter, Esti, whom he would not mind putting in his eyes.

… but now, things are getting bigger here and there.

The emperor panicked.

‘No, my daughter. When did you grow up so much…?’
