Who Made Me a Princess

Chapter 76

Translator: HH Editor: HH

She had cleaned the ribbon and given it to me?

I didn’t because Claude had thrown it away right after I received it from Jannette. Was that why Claude said it was dirty?

To think that she had been remembering that and given me a new ribbon to replace it!

And it wasn’t like she had coincidentally bought it like she said, but she had left the house to buy it for me! I heard their conversation that day.

She should just brag about having brought the present after much consideration, but why was saying it like she was scared I might reject it…..

I felt bad for her, and I accepted the present before her face could turn even more disappointed.

“Thank you so much for the present.”

At my words, Jannette lifted her head and I could see my smiling reflection in her eyes.

“I’ll definitely wear it to the next tea party. I’m looking forward to it. A ribbon that Lady Margarita chose for me.”

And Jannette’s face turned into the one from the lake, laughing prettily.

“If you do, there’s nothing more I could hope for.”

“Princess, you made a friend.”

Felix spoke up on the way to the Emerald Palace.

I looked at him from the side of my eye and saw him smiling brightly like it was him and not me who made a new friend.

Friend. A friend.

I put on an odd expression at the unfamiliar word.

“??!”

“Ah, Blackie!”

And then, as if he had noticed my presence, Blackie came running from afar with his tail wagging. Hannah, who had been trying to feed him, gave up, and stood in place looking at Blackie.

“Blackie, are you having fun?”

“Ruff!”

I dropped everything and ran to stroke Blackie’s fluffy fur. Why did our Blackie have so much aegyo? Aw. He’s so cute. Ow, another shock from his fur! Was the weather dry these days?

“Princess, please give Blackie to me and go rest inside.”

“Can’t I feed Blackie?”

“The magician said you shouldn’t stay too close to him. Here, I’ll feed him.”

I wanted to give Blackie food, too! Sob.

I pouted, thinking of Lucas, who had told me to stay away from Blackie.

Did he tell Lili on purpose because he knew I wouldn’t listen to him. Other than Blackie rapidly growing up, there was nothing out of ordinary with him.

“Ruff!”

“Good job! Here’s more, Blackie.”

Hm. But Blackie was magic that was from me. Did that mean he would disappear as I grew up and absorbed him? I didn’t want that to happen….

I headed over to the Emerald Palace thinking that I should ask Lucas about it someday.

And that opportunity came that night.

“Lucas is there a way I won’t absorb Blackie?”

Lucas replied to me while eating dried fruits.

“You were going on and on about becoming a Great Magician. Why? Do you not want to use magic anymore?”

Sob. Saying it like that hurt.

“That’s not it, but Blackie will disappear if I absorb him.”

If that was going to happen I would rather fold my dreams of being a Great Magician. I didn’t exactly know what absorbing Blackie meant, but to think that he would disappear!

But Lucas comfortably spread himself out on the sofa and carelessly responded.

“Forget it. It’s not even a living thing; it’s just made of magic.”

I saw Lucas looking at me with emotionless eyes. They were eyes that reminded me he wasn’t a human made from blood and flesh like everyone else.

“Seems like you’re being confused since you’re treating a magical creature like it’s your puppy, but it’s not alive. It’s just existing.”

I silently looked at Lucas and grabbed whatever was nearby.

“So don’t give it too much of your affection. It’s only gonna be something that doesn’t even leave behind any bones….”

The cushion that left my hand flew towards Lucas’s face. But he slightly bent his head and avoided the attack range.

“It’s not even gonna hurt that much so why’d you avoid it?”

Lucas remained in the position he was in, slightly bent, and looked at me. I could feel his red eyes searching my face.

But I ignored him and stood up to go get the cushion I used to stretch.

The cushion was lying on the floor after Lucas avoided it. As I bent over to pick it up, Lucas spoke up.

“Are you mad?”

I didn’t say anything.

“You’re mad.”

“Move.”

Lucas held on to the edge of the cushion I had just picked up and spoke coldly.

“I know why you’re mad. But I didn’t say anything wrong.”

I became angry at his words.

“Fine, you’re the best! You know everything, all mighty Lucas!”

I pulled the cushion out of his hands and lifted my arm at him.

“I’m so stupid that I’m worried about a clump of magic that might disappear any day now, so what’s wrong with that?”

Lucas frowned while I kept on hitting him with the cushion, but he didn’t avoid it this time. Yeah, so what? It probably didn’t even hurt that much.

“Yeah. You might be right. But would it hurt you to say it more nicely? You always say things rudely like this! Hm? Is that the best you can do?”

I continued to smash him with the pillow and I stopped when I was tired.

“Are you done now?”

“No!”

I threw the cushion in Lucas’s face one more time. It was what I couldn’t do earlier.

Lucas scrunched his eyebrows once I threw it down again. Why, what are you gonna do to me?

I snorted at him. And I picked up the cushion I threw at him and returned to where I was sitting.

“Ack!”

But this guy tripped me with his foot! I fumbled for my balance and barely managed to land on the sofa with help.

“You should be careful. Why did you trip over someone’s leg?”

T,This guy. Was this revenge? Was he being like this just because I hit him with a pillow a few times? And why did he grab my arm at the end?

I glared at him with my hair all over the place.

“Come here.”

Lucas clicked his tongue and called for me.

But this guy again? Am I his dog to go whenever he tells me to?

“Then you come here.”

There was less than a meter between us, so it was actually a funny situation if you thought about it. He sighed, like I was going overboard.

But Lucas stretched his hand out towards me first.

“You ugly thing.”

Was he trying to make me mad again? When I was about to become violent again, Lucas put his forehead on my head.

“I can’t even leave it alone.”

“Did anyone ask you to fix it?”

I knew Lucas approached me to clean up my magic for me again. But I still complained, since I was mad at him.

“Even if you beg me to fix it now, I can’t.”

And I unconsciously held my breath.

“I’ll be going away for a while.”

Lucas told me with a calm face.
