Who made me a princess Chapter 75

And to clean all these coins up, I would be a nuisance to the maid unnies. And I felt too tired to make up a lie right now.

I got up from the mountain of coins and stood on my bed. And I looked at the shiny things in front of me.

“I guess I’ll have to clean this up.”

So…did I have to think of them disappearing?

Boom! Disappear!

“Dang.”

The moment I shouted that in my head, all the coins disappeared without a trace. Lili gasped.

It might sound funny, but after I used magic, I was surprised too.

Nice. So I didn’t have to say it out loud. Well, the magic book did say I could just think of it.

“P, Princess. Just how….”

Lili’s eyes shook like she was really taken aback.

“Perhaps…did you get rid of them?”

I scratched my chin and belatedly told her.

“Lili! I must’ve become a Great Magician!”

“Excuse me?”

Lili’s shocked voice rang throughout the air.

I became lost in my thoughts thinking of the events a few days ago. Haha, Lili’s face then….

For a moment, she looked like she was thinking , ‘Is our princess sick somewhere?’ Of course, after that, I made her a bouquet, and her eyes started to shake again.

She ended up believing me.

But it was strange. Was magic normally this easy, like it was breathing? Gasp! Or maybe my abilities to be a Great Magician were just that strong! Right, Lucas said my magic was pretty powerful!

“Princess, these are all the letters that came to you.”

Lili said that we should keep it a secret that I could use magic.

The process to become a magician was extremely complicated because everyone had to report themselves as a magic user even if they weren’t working for the government.

But during my confinement, if I pulled attention towards me, that wouldn’t be good

Claude said he would kill me if he saw me again, and if he knew I could use magic, he would think the reason I was able to pretend to be his daughter was because I could use magic.

Lili didn’t say any of that, but that’s just what I thought.

“Seeing the date, it’s been a while. I guess it took a while to organize the letters.”

I accepted the letters Lili gave to me and saw the names on them.

Let’s see. Six from members from the tea party, one from Ezekiel, two from other gentlemen, and five from Jannette?

Gosh. Everyone else only sent one, but Jannette alone sent five.

“Lady Margarita is the one who gave you the ribbon, right? She must’ve been worried about you.”

Lili said that with a warm face and left.

With a strange feeling, I opened the most dated letter from Jannette.

Gasp! But where’s this good smell coming from? It’s not coming from the letter, right?

Sniff sniff. It smells like someone sprayed perfume on it. And the stationary is fancy! The wit of the main character really is something.

And in the white letter that had a flower on it, there was an elegant handwriting that fit her perfectly.

-I know I’m being rude, but I’m still writing this letter. I heard you woke up today. What a relief. I was so worried about you, there wasn’t a single time I was able to relax. You don’t know how much I prayed for you to get better.

Aw. I stopped reading because of the wave of emotions I felt. I could feel her worry and happiness for me.

Now that I thought about it, she was the only person who took care of me when the other ladies ran away from Blackie.

I began to read the letter again.

-All the other ladies are worrying about you. After His Majesty arrived, we all had to leave immediately. After that, I managed to find out you were in an unconscious state after begging Duke Alpheus. All the other ladies seemed to have only heard that you were sick. So I didn’t tell anyone.

Oh, so that’s what happened. I heard from Lili everyone else was fine, and Claude had made them leave once he arrived. And the fact that I was unconscious was a secret except for a few people who knew.

Wait, but how did Alpheus know? As expected, he’s not an easy guy.

Muttering under my breath, I finished reading the letter. The rest of it said stuff about hoping I got better.

But why did she send five of them?

Curious, I opened the rest of the letters.

-I heard you asked about me. How nice and kind of you. I’m fine, so don’t worry. Rather, I’m worried about you. With all due respect, I hope you get better quickly.

P.S. If it’s not a bother, can I send letters like these from time to time?

-After some hesitation, I’m writing my third letter. Please forgive me for writing to you without your permission. But you didn’t say I can’t, so I decided to go ahead with it. Even if I’m annoying, please be understanding of me. Actually, it’s my first time writing to someone other than my family, so I’m nervous, but excited at the same time.

Oh. I did write to Ezekiel that time. But he’s like family to me. Speaking of him, did you receive his letter? He’s also worrying about you. A few days ago, I coincidentally saw an envelope on his desk that had the address of the Imperial Family. So I found out that he was writing to you.

But I pretended not to know. Because I don’t want anyone to know about this letter too. So in a way, I guess we’re comrades of a sort?

I read the rest of Jannette’s letters with amusement. Jannette had the skill of writing, seeing how each of these were funny.

The rest of the letters were all similar. She started out with worrying about me, and she wrote like she was writing to a friend after that. I smirked.

Well, 14 years old is the age to do that….

Ah. Thinking like this made me feel old again. Let’s open the rest of the letters.

The other letters weren’t as interesting because of Jannette’s. Ezekiel, the tea party members, and other people all expressed their worry for me.

After some thought, I carried the letters I read from the sofa to the desk near my window.

Let’s see. Did I have stationary? I never need to write letters because for tea party invitations, other people wrote invites for me. So I needed to dig the drawers to look for it.

I dug around my drawers and managed to find something that could be for letter writing. But it didn’t satisfy me.

Not only did Jannette send a fancy letter, but so did everyone else. If I replied here, wouldn’t they think I was old-fashioned and not cool? And the letters they sent me smelled good too. Sniff sniff.

Eventually, I called Lili and told her to bring papers used to send invitations. And after I chose the prettiest of them, I sat in front of my desk again. The stationary I chose had a desirable rose drawn on it.

Let’s see. What do I say….

After some consideration, my hand started moving above the white paper.

-Dear Lady Margarita.

I apologize for the unintended late reply. I’m safely put away the letters you sent me….

After that, Jannette and I frequently exchanged letters. There wasn’t anything to do in the Emerald Palace anyway, so it became my new hobby.

“Princess, you seem a little thinner these days.”

“Oh really?”

I was smelling Janette’s letter when Lili said that. I tilted my head.

I lost weight? That’s strange. I’m really comfortable these days. I’m always sleeping and eating these days, so wasn’t I supposed to gain weight instead?

“I’ll ask them to prepare meals accordingly.”

But Lili had a slightly concerned face as she said that.

No, but if I eat more from here, I’ll become a pig. Sob. But when Lili made those kinds of expressions, I became weak. I’ll just not say anything.

“Princess, are you going to the garden today, too?”

“Yup. The weather’s nice, and it’s a waste to stay inside.”

Lili asked me in a slightly hesitating voice, but she just smiled looking out the window.

And she looked at me again with a concerned face, and left the room saying she would prepare tea.
