[Episode 40] – My child’s birthday party (2)

Finally, the day of the princess’s birthday party arrived.

The princess’s birthday party was held in the evening, but the kingdom was very noisy from the morning. Everyone congratulated the princess on her birthday by setting off fireworks in broad daylight.

The nobles of the capital opened warehouses and gave free alcohol and food to the people in celebration of the princess’s birthday, and the royal castle also poured money into providing alcohol and food to the people of the capital.

The bards wrote and performed poems celebrating the royal family’s seventh birthday, and people sang and danced to the poems, blessing the princess’s existence.

Fireworks were exploding all over the streets, children were running around like crazy in the streets, and young people were busy drinking alcohol and shouting “Long Live the Princess” in broad daylight.

Early in the morning, the gates of the palace opened, and the carriages of nobles and merchants who had lined up in front entered the palace one by one. It contained all expensive items, and they were all gifts to the princess.

It is a day to express gratitude for having grown up healthy after a childhood with a high mortality rate, and to sincerely congratulate and bless the future of the royal family, who will become future leaders, and to rejoice and be happy together.

This is what the royal family’s seventh birthday was like.

Dazzlingly sparkly dresses and accessories filled the room. I wanted to go see the princess get dressed up, but I also had to get dressed up to attend the party.

One of the maids taking care of me swallowed dry saliva and looked at me. He told me that he was going to touch me from now on and that he would treat me well so I had to be quiet. He comforted me as if he was soothing a rambunctious puppy.

Before I came into this body, there was a party that was held and Vivian was both a mess and a mess at the same time. I nodded quietly and looked at the maid.

“As you know, Her Majesty the Queen has a lot to prepare for in the future.”

“Don’t worry. I won’t do anything this time. “The princess will be waiting, so let’s do it quickly.”

The maid who was looking at me shed a few tears at the kind words that Vivian would never say. Then, he started explaining line by line what I had to do next.

“…First, take a 30-minute bath with warm water, then a 30-minute bath with warmed milk, and then apply rose balm to your skin. And repeat this three times. And after the massage, take a nap-”

“…?”

The moment I heard the schedule, which was divided almost by the minute, Vivian, who had died in my body, almost became possessed again. I was able to understand a little bit why Vivian was both crazy and crazy at the same time last time.

Just a three-hour bath, followed by massage, gymnastics, and hair care. In addition, it is said that once you decorate your clothes and hair, you will have time to attend the princess’s birthday party in the evening.

As I unconsciously smoothed my frown after hearing the schedule, the maid who was continuing the explanation looked at me with a worried expression.

They say they’ve managed their image quite well so far, but it seems like it’s still not enough…

I thought over my already exhausting schedule again, sighed deeply, and tried to smile.

In my ear, Ainsel said, ‘Smile! Smile! I said, ‘You really look like Vivian!’

“…Okay, let’s get started.”

And so, the hellish minute-by-minute dressing up began.

*

I was really, really exhausted.

They wouldn’t let me eat because my stomach was growing out, and the corset that was so tight it was almost like torture made it difficult to breathe, let alone move. When I was tightening the corset, I really screamed, ‘Just kill me!’

After finishing dressing up and being able to run away from the room, I slowly began to walk towards the princess’s room with my exhausted body. Before entering the party venue, I really wanted to see the princess in her dress.

Wearing unfamiliar high shoes and shaking my legs like a newborn deer, I barely arrived at the princess’s room. As soon as I saw the princess, I felt that the stress I had experienced today was instantly relieved.

“Her Majesty the Queen!”

“princess!”

When the door opened, I saw the princess rushing into my arms. The princess was wearing a ‘Snow White’-like dress with a blue dress and red accents.

It was a very cute children’s dress that had more frills than the dresses she usually wore, and the skirt was wide, making it look more active.

The princess seemed to like the dress as well, twirling around in front of me to show off the dress. I put my hands in the princess’s armpits, hugged her, and rubbed her cheek against mine.

Because it was really cute.

“As expected, I have an eye for choosing clothes. You really are the prettiest in the world today. Ainsel must have been impressed, too, so he couldn’t say anything.”

“Ehehe. thank you! “Her Majesty the Queen’s dress is very beautiful!”

I just rolled my eyes and looked at the full-length mirror in the princess’s room. The dress I wore was a dark blue dress with less decoration.

A dress that hangs along the body line without being bulky. The front of the dress looked simple, but the back was cut out enough to be a little embarrassing. According to the maids, it is bold yet luxurious.

They said that the small jewels embedded in the hem of the skirt reflect light and give the illusion of walking on the Milky Way… The maids poured out admiration and praise until their saliva ran dry. Honestly, in my opinion, it was just an embarrassing outfit.

But since the princess said she was beautiful, she might look beautiful somehow.

“Hehe, thank you. “The princess said she was beautiful, so I see it that way too.”

“Jeez, it’s true. “Uh, I mean, it’s pretty like the sea!”

A princess who flails her arms wildly and makes up for her lack of vocabulary with action. When I looked at the princess like that, I burst out laughing without knowing.

When I turned my head, Fran seemed to have helped the princess dress up, and Fran stood next to me and looked at the princess in my arms.

Is it because of the classes I’ve taken so far? Fran seemed to have become very close to the princess. I smiled and thanked Fran.

“Thank you for helping the princess dress up. Would you like to go to the party venue first? “We’ll be there soon.”

“All right. “I’ll be waiting for you at the party venue.”

Fran lowered his head with an expressionless expression and slowly headed towards the door. The princess, who saw Fran heading toward the door, gently waved at Fran, and Fran also waved gently.

And that too with a smile.

Fran, who had never smiled in front of me, showed a smile to the princess. At first, I thought the princess was just joking when she said that Fran sometimes laughs, but…

I put the princess back on the floor and gently stroked her hair. Because I don’t want my hair, which I worked so hard to organize, to get messy. After gently stroking it, he held out his hand to the princess.

“Now then, shall we go to the party venue too, princess?”

“yes! great!”

The princess, who grabbed my outstretched hand, smiled brightly and shouted in a bright voice. The princess and I held hands and slowly headed towards the party venue.

The maids and nobles she encountered in the hallway always greeted the princess, telling her she was beautiful and congratulating her, and whenever she received those greetings, the princess seemed to be in a good mood as well, so she couldn’t stop laughing.

The princess straightened her shoulders and began to walk confidently, making me wonder if she was the princess who was so anxious and trembled in my arms last night. Is this the effect of praise?

As we walked with the princess toward the party venue with confident steps, we were soon able to reach the door where the ‘royalty’ enters the party venue. When you open the door, everyone’s eyes are focused on one place.

I asked the servant guarding the door.

“Has Her Majesty the Queen already entered?”

“Yes, Her Royal Highness. “Her Majesty the Queen entered just in time for the party.”

You arrived earlier than expected.

The Queen Mother seemed to have entered the party venue before us in order to see the princess’s party debut faster than anyone else.

When I opened that big door and entered, I couldn’t help but smile as I remembered the Queen Mother sitting right in front of me watching her granddaughter’s first party debut.

I stopped the servant who was trying to announce our position for a moment, then crouched down and made eye contact with the princess. The princess tilted her head and looked at me blankly.

“princess.”

“Yes, Her Majesty!”

Looking at the princess’ bright smile, I briefly remembered the name I had given her.

At first, I thought I should give it a different name. Because there were many suitable names for a princess.

However, I thought that this name would suit the princess better than any other name.

Black hair that sparkles like stars embroidered on the night sky.

Later, she becomes a ‘girl who will be with the fairies’ and will play numerous fairies.

And the princess who will one day become the ‘queen’ of this country.

What is a suitable name for this child?

As expected, I thought there was nothing else but this name.

“I have a birthday present for the princess.”

“A gift…?”

The princess’s eyes sparkled when she heard the word “gift.”

I grinned, got up from my seat and headed to the attendant. I told the servant to first inform the servant of my position, and then to inform him of the princess’s position.

The attendant nodded that he understood, and then shouted loudly to announce my position.

“The second queen! ‘Vivian Liliensol’ is entering!”

The door to the party venue opened, and I turned around and looked at the princess. The princess was staring at me blankly, as if she hadn’t noticed yet.

I called the princess once again.

“princess.”

At my call, the princess raised her head and looked at me. As if she seemed to understand something, the princess’s eyes began to water.

“Her Royal Highness…?”

“This is my birthday present to you.”

As I turned my head and entered the party venue, I looked at the attendant and nodded.

“Shout out the princess’s ‘name’ and let everyone know.”

*

In response to Her Majesty the Queen’s words, the servant asked everyone to hear this name clearly and shouted it louder so that everyone in the party could hear it.

“You are the star of this party, and today is your seventh birthday!”

Hearing a loud cry that made her ears ring, the princess unconsciously clutched her chest.

Every time the servant shouted, the princess’s heart trembled and her eyes became red.

I gritted my teeth and raised my head to look ahead, trying to hold back the tears that welled up.

I was dazzled by the lights at the party venue.

The princess could see Her Majesty the Queen waiting for her at the door and holding out her hand. The princess slowly, tremblingly walked towards there.

In order to hide the feeling that she was about to cry at any moment, the princess smiled with the corners of her eyes curled and began to approach the ‘woman’ who was waiting for her.

Hearing your own ‘name’ that you will hear for the rest of your life.

The princess took a step forward to take the hand she held out.

To the woman who truly loves him.

“Princess of the kingdom! Princess ‘Titania Snow White’ is entering!”
