That wasn’t the end of Princess Mona’s absurd words.

“I like that you gained a lot of weight, but you didn’t really come to me to be eaten, right? He must have come to me because he wanted to be raised, but instead of telling him that he was plump, I should have been cute and begged him to raise me. “Don’t lose your temper.”

“… … .”

What a charm.

It was definitely not something a teenage girl would say to a man in his 30s.

However, strangely enough, perhaps because it was Princess Mona who said this, there was something about it that seemed subtly fitting.

What kind of answer can I give to satisfy her formidable heart?

A dog that sticks out its tongue and exposes its belly doesn’t suit his temperament, so he said it as if he should at least become a cat.

“Because I grew up on the streets, aegyo is not my thing.”

“Well, then there’s nothing we can do about it, right? “Don’t keep a pet without affection.”

He crosses his legs, exudes noble elegance, and looks at me with his arms crossed.

It seemed like he was trying to convince himself that he had the upper hand.

“If you throw it away because it doesn’t suit your taste, you will suffer a lot of losses.”

However, I thought that even if Princess Mona said things like that, she wouldn’t be able to truly reject me.

Right now, they are just exploring each other and fighting.

“loss? “Do I look like someone who can’t handle that much loss?”

“You might think you can handle it now. But I am not an easy person, so as time goes by, I will continue to regret the choice I made today.”

“How dare you say something like that in front of me and still be able to handle it?”

“On the contrary, I would like to ask you a question. Do you think the princess can handle me? I don’t think you know what I’ve been doing. “Are you sure you are considering not only what I have done so far, but also everything I will do in the future?”

Princess Mona kept her mouth shut, perhaps speechless by my words.

The eyes looking at me became more intense as time passed, and I also faced those gazes without avoiding them.

“…..”

“…..”

“How long are you going to stick around? Even if it doesn’t suit your taste, just raise it. “That is for Princess Mona’s future.”

I don’t think I’ve ever been picked on by a cat, but I’m sure it won’t be a bad experience.

Besides, I’m not an ordinary cute cat, but a golden goblin who will carry expensive gold with me.

“It’s absurd. “This is the first time I’ve been so blatantly forced to raise my child.”

“Everyone has a first time. That’s why the first time is special. Even if you don’t have aegyo, you won’t lose anything by raising it. No, it would have been helpful. “You can make money just by raising it, and all we ask is that you give us one pyeong of room.”

I am too capable of a person to throw him away because he is not cute.

I had already opened my mouth, so I continued to speak, wanting to say everything I wanted to say.

“Isn’t the place the princess is staying in a very large place? “But you don’t have room for someone like me to sleep?”

I know that he is a person who has a lot and has never said anything disappointing to others.

Because that’s the royal family of this world.

Even so, am I not quite a treasure?

“I’m not letting just anyone into my space just because it’s beneficial.”

“Isn’t it not just a benefit, but a huge benefit? “If you take me away, there are more benefits than you think.”

“Benefits? Haha, do you think there will be more benefits from you than what you will receive from coming under me?”

He seemed to think I had too much confidence.

“yes. “I am losing money.”

I know that Princess Mona is the only option among the troll-like royal family, but as I said before, I didn’t mean to take a low-key stance.

“And if you don’t accept it now, I’m going to sulk.”

“You’re sulking? to me?”

“yes. At that time, I won’t reach out first. The princess must be stamping her feet because she wants me. “But I’ll still pretend I didn’t see it.”

“…It’s absurd. “I’m really embarrassed.”

Princess Mona’s eyes were shaking, as if she was truly embarrassed.

“If what I said was nonsense, would the princess be sitting there right now? Just by not issuing an order to congratulate the guests, you have already revealed your true intentions. The princess cannot refuse me. and.”

I took out what I had in my arms to let Princess Mona know that it was real.

“This is the bribe I promised. If you don’t raise me, this too will fly away. Are you okay with that?”

“!!!”

The benefits you will get by accepting me.

“A music box given as a gift by the first emperor to his granddaughter. “You want it.”

Inside the music box was a replica of the old imperial palace.

Princess Mona should have accepted me for the value of this item, but she was showing off her pride because she was a member of the royal family.

“Didn’t you say there was no evidence of authenticity?”

Even though Princess Mona said that, she couldn’t take her eyes off the music box I took out.

“Please enjoy the joy of finding the evidence yourself. “You probably won’t believe me even if I tell you the evidence, right?”

“Are you saying I won’t believe it anyway, so you won’t even tell me the evidence? You have good guts too. “If it turns out that this is a counterfeit product, how will you take responsibility?”

“That won’t happen, but if it does, you can just abandon me. Then, even if you don’t have to go through the trouble, the other members of the royal family won’t leave me alone.”

If he was abandoned after being protected by Princess Mona, the other royal family would naturally not leave him alone.

“You mean you’re confident. “It looks like there is solid evidence, but wouldn’t it have been better to show evidence to gain trust?”

“It is true that the princess likes and is interested in imperial relics, but I also heard that she likes finding out and tracing the history behind them.”

“… … .”

“I just didn’t want to take away the princess’s joy.”

If you provide evidence, the investigation process will be exciting.

So I didn’t bother to look for evidence.

In the scenario, this music box is eventually displayed in Princess Mona’s museum.

Princess Mona was lost in thought with a serious expression.

There is no need to act like that, but he is acting to steadfastly protect his pride.

And Princess Mona spoke like an actor following a set script.

“Okay, hand over the music box. “I’ll have to check it up close.”

“So are you taking me away?”

“… I don’t know how much you can love a pet that doesn’t suit your taste, but what can you do? I’m clinging to you for my life. “I’m too soft-hearted to just ignore something pitiful.”

I’ve never really been begging for your life, but let’s do it.

“You showed me mercy. It is an honour.”

“It’s been a while since I’ve received such a sincere thank you.”

“I truly feel honored.”

Princess Mona said in response to my soulless answer.

“It wasn’t a very nice atmosphere, but I won’t neglect what I can do for you. From now on, if anyone bothers you, please let me know at any time.”

This was Princess Mona’s declaration that she would definitely protect me from now on.

It may seem like I entered into a relationship with Princess Mona at a one-sided loss on my part, but Princess Mona’s halo will have a significant impact on the future operation of the business.

If there was no benefit, why would the nobles line up for Princess Mona?

The money I gave her was not a very high price compared to the power I would enjoy in the future.

“I’ll see you later.”

The second time I visited her, I planned to break Princess Mona’s poker face.

I think I have to step on that noble pride at least once to build a real friendship with her.

‘It’s already fun to think about my pride being shattered in front of unique equipment.’

Until now, there has been no SSR that has been able to calmly maintain its sanity even after seeing its unique equipment.

It would be no different even if it were Princess Mona.

mumbling-

“Music box… Music box… It’s a music box… . The first emperor gave it to his granddaughter as a gift. It must not have been a light gift… .”

A man who suddenly asked me to raise him and then disappeared.

The music box he gave me contained a miniature, incredibly beautiful landscape.

The music box contained vivid images of the old imperial palace.

This music box itself had great historical value.

As time went by, it was expanded and new buildings were built, making it difficult to find any traces of the first imperial castle.

However, thanks to this music box, we can now see the true appearance of the old imperial palace.

Moreover, the fact that he gave his granddaughter such a gift is proof that the first emperor greatly admired his granddaughter.

“The first emperor had an unusually large number of children.”

He said it was not a child, but a gift to his granddaughter.

The problem is that because there are many children, the number of grandchildren and great-granddaughters is also enormous.

‘There is no way the first emperor would have given such a gift to an ordinary granddaughter.’

Even if it was related to blood, the first emperor did not give favor to anyone.

“What if this is the music box given to Princess Mona?”

I know that my name was named after Princess Mona, the granddaughter of the first emperor.

In history, Princess Mona was a princess who achieved such respectable achievements that she was revered as a saint even though she was not a saint.

Princess Mona lived and died solely for the empire without ever getting married.

There were many claims that if it had not been for Princess Mona, the empire would not have expanded its power as grandly as it has now.

Although some degree of prejudice still remains, at the time there was a strong tendency to view the princess’s interference in politics unfavorably.

There were also those who viewed frequenting the imperial palace after marriage as a bad thing.

That’s why Princess Mona gave up getting married to live for the empire.

The first emperor also loved Princess Mona very much.

‘If it was so cherished, it would have been mentioned often in history.’

It is said that when a really important problem arose in the country, the first emperor summoned Princess Mona to deal with it alone.

That fact can be easily found in the archives of the imperial palace where history is recorded.

so.

‘When I heard that the first princess gave it to her pretty granddaughter, the first thing that came to mind was Princess Mona.’

If it weren’t for Princess Mona, how could the first emperor have any reason to favor his granddaughter?

The more I thought about it, the more I became convinced that the owner of this music box was Princess Mona.

‘I thought that since I was given the same name, I should follow its example. At least I didn’t want to be someone with that name.’

Since I inherited the name of Princess Mona, I wanted to follow her example even if I could not be a greater person than her.

I did… .

‘What if this is really Princess Mona’s music box?’

My heart is pounding-

It was something that he couldn’t change even if he were given hundreds of millions of dollars.

A strong possessive desire pierced my heart.
