[Episode 36] – Frankenstein (2)

“Huh!! “Huhhh!!!”

Once the crying started, there was no sign of it stopping. As Fran took a step closer, the princess, who was gesturing for Fran to go away, screamed and sobbed as if she was about to faint.

“evil-!! “Don’t come!!!”

“It’s strange. “The children in my hometown are very happy when I tell them Fran Joke.”

Fran tilted his head as if it was really strange and looked at the princess in my arms. Although they said he was an android, who would have imagined that things like screws and cogs would come out of his mouth.

The princess said she saw something she really couldn’t see, and she buried her face in my chest and didn’t even think about raising her head. Fran was next to me, moving back and forth from side to side as if the princess’s reaction was strange, but-

“Go away!!!”

“I am shocked. How could this reaction…”

Fran trailed off for the first time, saying it was truly shocking. Her expression was still somber, but perhaps she was truly glum, as she turned her back on the princess and slumped down on a chair.

The princess was busy sobbing in my arms, regardless of whether Fran was sullen or not. Even though she was a princess who was surprised at the mere mention of swallowing a needle, she must have been shocked to see something similar in person.

I patted the princess on the back and began to comfort her.

“Princess, should I tell that person to leave immediately?”

“Huh! “Huh!!”

The princess sobbed and nodded vigorously. Fran turned his head when he heard that he was being kicked out, came closer to the point where the princess would not cry, and looked at her intently.

“Princess, look at this.”

Fran showed his thumb to the princess and showed her the thumb amputation magic of covering the cut edge with his finger. Then, the princess who was looking at it snorted.

“I’ve already seen that! And Her Majesty the Queen does better!”

That is correct. Even if he were to come and show the princess the finger cutting magic that had already made her sick of it, the princess would not flinch.

Then, Fran’s pride was hurt…

“Is that so. “Is cutting off your finger not enough?”

Boop! Fran made a sound and pulled out his own wrist. The pulled wrist began to dance its fingers on Franc’s other palm, as if it had an identity of its own.

And the reaction of the princess looking at that was, of course-

“Gross!!”

“I don’t understand. The franc jock of conversion does not work.”

Fran put back the wrist he had pulled off and held his head as if he couldn’t understand. If you think about it, it’s definitely a prank that young boys would enjoy, but…

Such pranks never worked on the princess. Fran said, ‘It looks like the android’s pride will be broken,’ and then slumped his shoulders.

I couldn’t help but sigh and asked Fran for a favor.

“Thank you for treating Ainsel, but… the princess is a little concerned about that… How much compensation do you need? “I will prepare as much as I can.”

Although he was a benefactor who healed Ainsel, he couldn’t help it because the princess started a fight just by looking at that face. I thought I should quickly give him a reward and get him out of the castle.

“Then, please use good quality oil.”

“Ghee, oil…?”

“It’s a joke. Franzoc.”

Fran makes a V with his fingers and holds them out to me. It was difficult to tell how much of this expressionless android’s joke was a joke and how much was serious.

“There is no need for compensation. And, I can’t leave right now.”

“Shirrr!!!”

When the princess heard that Fran wouldn’t leave, she started a fight and got scared. It was my first time seeing a princess who disliked people so much, so it was refreshing but also a little worrying.

Fran paid no heed to the princess’s angry scream and glanced at Ainsel, who was groaning on the desk.

“The patient’s treatment is not yet complete. “As a doctor, I have a duty to take care of my patients until Ainsel returns to perfect condition.”

“Uh, uh… if that’s the case…”

When Fran said that she had to take care of Ainsel, the princess could not say anything. The princess, who was really worried about Ainsel, who was whining even though she was not, glared at Fran as if she really hated it but had no choice.

“Are you giving Ainsel treatment…? really…? “You’re not lying this time?”

The princess glares at Franc with suspicion. Fran, who was looking at the princess, still looked at her with an emotionless expression, but his actions were different from his expression, as he gently stroked the princess’s head.

“Yes, I’m not lying this time. That Frankenstein doesn’t lie when it comes to treating fairies.”

*

Fran, who said he had to stay by Ainsel’s side until he got better, decided to stay here for the time being. It’s amazing that he sneaked into the heavily guarded royal palace, so let’s ask him how he plans on hiding.

“It’s okay, you don’t have to worry. As you can see, I am a perfect maid. “If you will comply, I will work as your maid for the time being.”

“…I think I’ll get caught.”

“As long as you speak well, we won’t get caught. “Because I am excellent.”

Fran lifted the hem of the skirt of the maid’s uniform she was wearing and spun around to show me. Now that I think about it, I kept wondering. Why on earth are you wearing a maid’s uniform?

As I looked closely at Fran’s attire, Fran again spun around gracefully, showing off her maid’s uniform, stopped in a stern manner, and asked me.

“Are you curious about my outfit?”

“little…?”

“There is no particular reason. It’s a simple hobby. I like having hobbies. My hobbies include ballet, ballroom dancing, and cleaning and laundry. “I just enjoy wearing clothes appropriate for cleaning and laundry.”

“It’s unusual that cleaning and laundry are your hobbies.”

Fran, who had taken the ‘arabesque’ pose of standing upright on tiptoe of one foot and raising the other leg back, glanced down and looked at me and the princess.

The princess, fascinated by Franc’s beautiful posture, clapped her hands and watched Franc’s ballet. Every time the princess clapped her hands, Fran slowly began to dance, as if performing various tricks.

Then, suddenly, this thought occurred to me.

A princess who hasn’t made any noticeable progress in dancing these days. Could it be that Franc can help the princess who still can’t escape from the squid and is dancing a flowing waltz?

I asked, looking at Fran who was dancing gracefully.

“Fran, if you have some time while you’re here, could you teach the princess how to dance? “What I’m learning right now is the waltz, but…”

“Dear princess, do you mean dancing?”

The princess who was listening to those words next to me opened her eyes wide and looked at me as if she was shocked. And he shook his head, saying that he never wanted to learn how to dance from Fran.

Fran looked at the princess in contemplation for a moment, then gently extended his hand as if to invite her to dance. The princess looked at the hand held out in front of her and frowned! I frowned.

“First, we need to check what level of skill the princess is.”

“…no, I do not want. “I will learn from Her Majesty the Queen.”

I patted the head of the princess who pouted her lips and frowned. Although the princess’s current dancing skills are lacking, she can now dance a waltz.

The princess, who had studied dancing so hard that her toes bled, was able to waltz as of yesterday. However, he could only waltz and was not perfect.

He still made a lot of mistakes, and without the sound of my applause, he couldn’t dance because he couldn’t keep the beat on his own. There’s still time, so I can fix it little by little…

If there is an opportunity to do a little better, does this mean that parents want to take that opportunity? I wanted to see the princess dancing the waltz perfectly without making any mistakes in front of everyone.

It may have been my greed, but it was definitely for the sake of the princess. I put my hands in the princess’s armpits, lifted her up, and placed her on my lap.

The princess’s lips pouted, as if she didn’t like the fact that I asked Fran to learn how to dance. I gently hugged the princess and slowly comforted her.

“Why don’t you learn from Fran just once? You don’t know, right? Franc may teach better than me.”

“no, I do not want.”

“…It’s because I want to see the princess dancing beautifully at the ball.”

“We can still do better.”

The princess was adamant.

It was hard to ask any more questions because I thought he would get really annoyed if I suggested any more. Just as she was wondering if she should give up, Sylphy flew in from next to her and climbed onto the princess’s shoulder and whispered something.

“really…?”

-Well, if the princess asks, the baby won’t refuse.

“…?”

After hearing what Sylphy said, the princess raised her head and looked at me blankly. Then, with a sullen expression on his face, he jumped off my lap and grabbed Fran’s hand.

“Sylphy? “What did you say to the princess?”

-Hehe, it’s nothing special, just motivation. The princess might ask you to dance at the ball, so you should practice dancing hard too.

The princess held Franc’s hand, whom she hated so much, because she wanted to dance with me?

What an amazing and cute child this is. I felt like I wanted to hug the princess right away.

As I watched the princess and Fran dance with such a happy expression, the more they danced, the more cold sweat ran down Fran’s expressionless face, and he began to think.

His face, which was originally pure white, gradually turned blue, and as the dance with the princess came to an end, Fran sighed for the first time.

I think I danced pretty well, but why did I do that…?

“…This is not dancing.”

“?!”

The princess said, ‘I danced hard in my own way! ‘How can you say such harsh words!’ I glared at Fran with the same expression as if I were going to kill him, and Fran shook his head, looked at me, and asked.

“How much time is left until the prom?”

“Um… about three weeks?”

“We don’t have much time. “Let’s start right away, starting today.”

Fran said and looked down at the princess who was holding his hand.

When she felt an unknown heat in Fran’s expressionless eyes, the princess frowned! He frowned and shook off the hand held by Fran.

“I hate you…”
