Chapter 40

Regardless if you get caught here or elsewhere, the favor we owed would only be that much . But Selene, you’ve always wanted to move somewhere else . Why are you hesitating now?”

Look at her .

I had always thought that she was worried about getting caught by Rania, but I could see now that was not the case . It was because she was incredibly attached to this place, even though she did not say it .

[I’m asking if this is really the best solution . It’ll soon be the princess’ admission ceremony…]

“Admission ceremony?”

I admired how she took this situation so lightly .

I looked absurdly at her, wondering if I should applaud her for it, but Selene’s puffed cheeks were full of discontent .

I could not stand it anymore; instead, I gave up rolling up the ribbons and tied it around my neck, and stomped my feet .

“I’m now planning a course for us to live together, but here you’re talking about the admission ceremony? Why are you talking about school when we’re on a battlefield? Plus, you were so scared of Lady Melleo before . Why are you obsessed with her now?”

[What do you mean I’m obsessed? Since Your Ladyship knows that the princess is attending school as well…]

[Skhool? Haniel is going to skhool?]

“Ah… Our princess is awake?”

We might have raised our voices, as Haniel raised her head from the cradle and looked around sleepily .

She woke because of you!

I stared at Selene for a while before rushing over to hug Haniel, but she was unexpectedly excited .

[Mommy! Haniel is going to skhool?]

“No, you don’t have to go . Haniel said before Teacher Melleo was scary . ”

[Noo . It wasn’t Teacher Melleo . ]

“Not her?”

What was she talking about now?

Regardless if she had a short-tongue, she did not display the same fear as back then .

When I last peeked at her from afar in the grasslands, she was dejected, but today, her eyes were sparkling .

[Awesome teacher! Nanny is a very very]

[My my, our princess isn’t fully awake yet . Come to nanny, quick . ]

“…”

Selene rushed to Haniel and started fluffing her feathers . She never acknowledged when I half-forced her to take Haniel’s nanny’s role, there was no way she would be so proactive now .

[Our princess has to wash up now . Blow your nose too . ]

“Hey, what are you doing?”

[W, what do you mean?]

“You have always been acting suspiciously… Sigh, put Haniel down and follow me . ”

[Mommy, I like nanny! Haniel likes nanny! I’m scared if she shouts . ]

“…Hmm?”

I’ve only glared fiercely at Selene, but Haniel reacted quite violently . Her shoulders trembled so much, and soon tears welled up in her eyes .

“Ha, Haniel . What’s wrong?”

[Mommy, are you angri?]

“No . I’m not angry . I just want to tell the nanny . That she has to treat you well . ”

[Shdoes! Nanny trits Haniel well . ]

“…Hey . ”

You made her say that, right!

I gritted my teeth, and Selene swallowed her saliva as if she was really taken aback . As expected, she shook her head violently, as if she did not know that Haniel would side with her .

[N, no . Your Ladyship knows too that I don’t really like babies, I don’t even talk to her much! I’ve only fed her fish jerky and look over her when Your Ladyship isn’t around…]

[Yeah, look! She trits me well!]

[…]

[Nanny was wib Haniel! The palace’s nanny shouted and scared Haniel when Haniel didn’t sleep, but the lake nanny didn’t . I like her . ]

By then, Haniel was on the floor and patting Selene with her white wing .

[It’s alright! I lik you!]

[…]

[She trited me well!]

Selene turned around as she could not bear to face Haniel, who was using all the kinds words in her vocabulary at her .

“Selene, cry if you want . I know that you’re crying . ”

[W, wahhh . Y, Your Ladyship . ]

[Don’t cri . You should not cri . Nanny, stop!]

Even Haniel stepped up to console Selene .

[Come here . Haniel gib hug!]

[Princess! Please forgive me!]

[Hmm?]

[I wanted you to sleep early to eat the remaining fish jerky, wahhhhh . ]

PAT PAT . As Haniel continued patting, Selene’s sobbing worsened .

It could be her first time hearing compliments in her life that there was no end to her repentance .

It was only when I forcibly pulled Haniel away that I saw Selene’s face wet with tears .

[Wahh, Your Ladyship . I, sob sob, I committed a grave sin! I really have no rights to stay by, sob sob . ]

“Forget it . ”

Did she think that I would not know she would get away like that?
