Royal Secret: I'm A Princess!

"NOOO!" Greko yelled worriedly. "Noonas! Hyungs!"

He witnessed his older siblings get struck by the fake Commander Ruto's lightning bolts again.

Yes, again.

He couldn't count how many times it had happened already.

Whether his older siblings attacked the fake Commander Ruto individually or as a group, they would just end up getting struck by the fake commander's lightning bolts.

Fortunately, Paige Noona put a protective spell on all of them.

That protective spell worked like Neoma Eomma's Coat— the barrier that would completely protect the wearer from any kind of attack.

Hence, the damage his older siblings received was lessened.

[If not, they'd be dead by now.]

"Noonas! Hyungs! Come back here!" Greko said. He had to yell because he was within safe distance of the fight. As always. "I'll heal you!"

It was his job as the group's Support/Healer to stay safe so he could heal his family.

He knew that it was important to keep himself safe. But although he understood the importance of his position as the Healer, he still couldn't help but feel bad.

After all, he was always protected by his family.

[They still see me as a baby…]

Greko's gloomy thoughts were cut short when his older siblings suddenly appeared before him.

[Paige Noona probably used a teleportation skill.]

"My mist will hide for a short while," Jeno Hyung said between heavy breaths. He was bleeding from head to toe, and some part of his skin was burnt from the lightning bolt. And yet, he still forced himself to stand and extend his hands. A bluish mist came of his palms and enveloped them. "But the fake Commander Ruto is strong, so we need to hurry."

Greko nodded immediately. "I understand, Hyung."

He then closed his eyes tight.

Potions worked slower than direct healing. Even if his older siblings took a potion now, it would take at least fifteen minutes to have its effect.

Hence, direct healing was the best choice in that situation.

Greko imagined they were inside a huge bubble, and then he filled that bubble with what he liked calling the 'golden dust.'

It looked more like a sand, though.

Actually, it reminded him of an hourglass.

[I can feel my healing power spreading around the 'bubble.']

Greko could also feel his older siblings getting stronger as minutes passed by. That was how he knew that his healing was working.

No, it wasn't technically 'healing.'

'Miracle.'

That was what Neoma Eomma told Greko before…

["It's not healing, Greko. I believe it's more appropriate to call it performing a miracle."]

["What do you mean by that, Eomma?"]

["Healing doesn't allow normal Healers to grow their patient's severe limbs. But you can do that, can't you?"]

["But only if I tried really hard, Eomma…"]

["And you always try your hardest to save people, don't you?"]

["Oh."]

["Greko, you're the best Healer I've met in all of my lives. You have the power that bad and greedy people would want to possess. Hence, your power also puts your life in danger. If you want to live a peaceful life, then you should quit now. The more miracles you perform, the more danger you'll attract. I'll take care of you even if you quit the Order, baby."]

["Thank you for worrying about me, but I love what I'm doing, Eomma."]

["Are you sure about that? This is a dangerous job for a baby like you, Greko."]

["Why would I be afraid? Eomma and my siblings will protect me, won't you?"]

["When did you become cheeky, huh?"]

["Eomma is cheeky, so isn't it natural for Eomma to have a cheeky "son?"]

That day, Greko had the honor of seeing and hearing Neoma Eomma laugh out loud.

His eomma even hugged him tight— earning the jealousy of his older siblings.

"Oh, our maknae is smiling."

Oops.

Greko opened his eyes when he heard Juri tease him, making him blush. "Noona…"

"Why are you smiling?" Juri Noona asked, laughing softly. "Are you happy that you healed us again?"

What Greko performed was indeed a miracle.

After all, his older siblings looked as good as new now. The golden dust that filled the area was still lingering in the air.

Hence, making everything around them shine.

[Eomma, I'm really good at this job so I can't quit.]

"I'm happy that I can protect my Noonas and Hyungs this way," Greko said, grinning. "I also remember the time that Eomma praised and hugged me really tight!"

"Now he's just bragging," Xion Hyung, who rarely reacted towards things he wasn't interested in, complained lightly. "But thank you for healing us, Greko."

His other older siblings thanked him one by one.

Lewis Hyung, who rarely talked, put his hand on top of Greko's head.

Well, their commander tried.

Lewis Hyung hated skinship, so his palm actually just barely touched Greko's head.

But that was enough.

[I'm already happy with Lewis Hyung's effort to show his appreciation of me.]

"I have a plan," Lewis Hyung said. He looked at them one by one before his gaze focused on Paige Noona. "Paige, can you create a strong illusion?"

Paige tilted her one at one side. "What kind of illusion, Commander Lewis?"

"The illusion of the strongest person we acknowledge."

***

NEOMA covered half of her face with her hand when she sneezed.

Argh.

[Of course, someone must be talking about me.]

Gosh, it was really hard living as a famous person.

"Sweetie, are you alright?" Mama Boss asked worriedly. "Do you want to rest for a bit before you go to your next appointment?"

"I'm fine, Mama Boss," Neoma assured her mother. "To be honest, I'm debating whether I should go to the Abyss and help my children first. I trust them, and I know that they can take down the monster living there. But, as a mother, I can't help but worry."

"Your "children" must be having a hard time now. I don't mean to discourage you, but the Abyss takes the form of the strongest person the intruders have met. That means your children might be fighting your mirage at the moment since you're definitely the strongest person to them."

"Then they'll be fine."

Her Mama Boss tilted her head to one side. "How do you say so?"

"Because they know my weakness," Neoma said, smiling. "And they also know the weakness of the people around me."

***

[IT WORKED.]

Paige was amused and surprised that Commander Lewis' plan worked like a charm.

Upon their commander's request, she created an almost perfect replica of Princess Neoma.

And, now, the fake Commander Ruto had completely gone still.

[It's as if the fake Commander Ruto doesn't have the heart to attack the fake Princess Neoma.]
