【Chapter 122】

“Let’s get married.”

“Yes, yes?”

At the sudden words, the Guide who had been sitting properly straightened up with widened eyes.

The person who made this out-of-the-blue proposal was none other than me.

“You’re the only person I feel comfortable with when we’re together.”

In the wall-mounted mirror installed across from us, I could see myself with my arms crossed.

Long blonde hair, a small but sharp-tipped nose.

A slender jawline revealed as the round baby fat disappeared.

My eyes with ruby-colored pupils were slightly more upturned than before, giving off a cat-like atmosphere.

I had already graduated from twin tails when I was 12, so these days I always wore my hair down unless there was a banquet.

My height, which had grown remarkably compared to when I was 5, now exceeded 160cm.

Of course, I wasn’t that tall yet, but thanks to my more defined features, I was no longer treated like a little child.

“And you’re handsome.”

“Huh?”

When I said this with a grin, the Guide’s eyes, who had also shed his boyish appearance like me, trembled like aspen leaves.

He grew up to be so handsome, yet his personality is still like a puppy – what charming contrast.

In fact, the Guide received a lot of attention from young ladies whenever we went to the city.

Of course, they were disappointed later when they found out he was a commoner.

Some young ladies even kept flirting with him, as if they wanted to keep him as a lover.

‘I can’t stand seeing that!’

I tapped the desk with my fist.

“I’m not going to become the family head anyway, so I’m free when it comes to marriage. My father said he’d be happy if I married someone I like.”

“That person is me, me?”

“Yeah.”

“But what about Ka, Kail?”

Though his stuttering habit had improved as he grew older, he still stuttered when he was flustered.

But that face made even that trait into a charming point.

Alright. I’ll drive the nail in.

“I haven’t seen Kail for 10 years, you know? When bodies grow distant, hearts grow distant too. I don’t really think about him anymore.”

I crossed my arms and gave a pretty eye smile.

“Now I only think about you.”

At my words, his Adam’s apple moved with a gulp.

“Pr, Princess. I, I also, well…”

Confirming that his earlobes were turning red in real time, I quietly waited for his answer.

His pure brown eyes wavered back and forth.

Just as the Guide, whose cheeks had turned rosy, nodded his head as if he had made up his mind.

“I, I’ll accept Aisha’s proposal.”

At the same time, I turned my head and spoke to the young fairies who were watching us.

“And that’s how- when you receive the other person’s answer, the two officially become husband and wife! Now your curiosity is satisfied, right?”

“Kyu! (Wow, amazing!)”

“Kyu, kyukku! (The process of humans becoming married is so complicated. But it’s cool!)”

Clap clap clap.

The young fairies who had been watching us clapped with their short front paws.

So, what was the current situation?

Actually, this was all acting between the Guide and me.

To put these ones to sleep who kept their eyes wide open even during nap time.

I bowed my head to the audience’s cheers and stood up from my seat.

“Now, I’ve satisfied your curiosity, so let’s take a nap as promised. The new fairies of the New Country need to nap to grow big and strong.”

“Kyu-! (No, no!)”

“Kyu? (What’s a promise? Is it something you eat?)”

Even though I did everything they asked for.

These guys, who seemed to be going through puberty with their rebellion at its peak, tilted their heads while their black bean-like eyes sparkled.

Good grief.

‘Just like Bibi Grandmother said. Fairies are at their most troublesome age at 6 months…’

I opened my mouth in disbelief, and the Guide, who couldn’t understand what they were saying, asked with an expectant face.

“How is it? We even put on a play for them, so will the kids take their nap now?”

“…No. I think we need to read them more fairy tales.”

“What?”

“Can you possibly act by yourself?”

“What?”

As if he had heard something unexpected, the Guide asked back with a slightly dazed expression.

I smiled awkwardly and said.

“It’s still not enough, they say. Sorry, would it be okay if I ask you a favor?”

“Ah, yes, yes. Of course!”

I wanted to help the Guide more, but it was about time for me to go…

Fortunately, he came to his senses belatedly and nodded his head.

“A, anyway, thank you for participating in such an absurd play. It helped a lot.”

“Did it really help? These kids seem to have woken up even more from our acting.”

“Still, thanks to you, Princess, I learned the lesson that plays won’t work from now on.”

The Guide blinked his clear eyes and smiled.

The Guide, who had trained fairies for 10 years, had transformed from a timid crybaby into a clear-eyed maniac who couldn’t survive without being positive.

It was an inevitable survival instinct to survive among the naturally mischievous fairies.

I let out a deep sigh and patted his shoulder.

“Anyway, good work. Let’s eat something delicious together when we have time later. You guys listen well to the Guide! Shoo!”

After waving my hand at the young fairies like that, I was about to go outside.

“Pr, Princess!”

“Yeah?”

Suddenly the Guide called out to stop me.

“…Earlier during the play, was what you said about forgetting Kail true?”

When I stopped walking and turned my head, he asked carefully with a worried voice.

“Kku! (Right. I’m curious too!)”

“Kku, kku! (If you tell us this, we’ll sleep!)”

The young fairies were the same.

Of course, these guys seemed to find it interesting rather than worrying about me.

“Hmm.”

I crossed my arms and tilted my head.

Did I forget Kail?

“Of course not! I’m going to read the message Kail sent me right now!”

These guys are taking me too lightly!

When I answered as if making a declaration, the Guide’s face immediately brightened.

“Right?”

“Kku! (Wow, it’s love!)”

“Kku, kku! (Become married! Get married!)”

“It’s not marriage, it’s friendship!”

My face instantly heated up as I shouted and ran out of the room.

Love and marriage – Kail and I aren’t that kind of relationship!

Time had passed, and it had already been 10 years since I couldn’t meet Kail.

But our friendship was still ongoing.

* * *

Many things had happened to the Croste Ducal Family during this time.

First, I had my debutante ball, and while we still subjugated monsters, people’s perspective on them had changed significantly.

The people of Croste had now become accustomed to dividing monsters into ‘subjugation targets’ and ‘protection targets.’

Thanks to Guide, much of the prejudice that the ducal family’s people had held against monsters had disappeared.

And the decisive moment was when Father went out to subjugate monsters using the Peris that Callipus had trained.

This might sound like some kind of Pokémon story, but Father really did go out to subjugate monsters with a Peri army and succeeded.

‘What…? Using monsters to subjugate monsters?’

That fact immediately reached the ears of His Majesty King Grace, who was the Masamo Chairperson.

Under her full support, the Croste Ducal Family expanded the scope of monster training and eventually built the first ‘Monster Training Facility’ in the Frozen Kingdom.

‘It feels like yesterday when construction was causing such a commotion… and the completion ceremony is next month.’

Time really flies.

Of course, it wasn’t all good.

While the perception of people living in the ducal palace had changed significantly, there were still many who despised monsters outside the North.

Perhaps that was natural.

Until now, we had unconditionally treated monsters as enemies whenever we saw them.

‘Still, things will gradually get better with time, right?’

Kail and Nox are also working hard at The Edge of the World!

What I need to do right now is.

“Father! Lucas!”

“What.”

“Is Dandelion here?”

When I opened the door, the men in the study looked up.

“Today’s the day the scorpion comes. I came right on time!”

To check my pen pal friend’s letter!

When I said this with a giggle, the faces of the two men, whose default expression was cold, softened.

“Come here.”

Neatly styled black hair.

Eerie yet captivating red eyes.

And features drawn with rough lines.

“Yes!”

Father, who seemed to consume preservatives since he hadn’t changed at all, just nodded without taking his eyes off the report.

However, his hands were pulling over a small chair.

“Dandelion. You always say you’re busy when I ask you to play, but you always make time when it’s time to look at the scorpion.”

It was Lucas complaining in the low tone that came after his voice change.

Even while saying this, he placed a plate of cookies I liked on the table.

Now eighteen years old and legally an adult by Frozen Kingdom standards, he was gradually catching up to Callipus’s height.

Of course, Father was still taller…

‘At that growth rate, he might become a 190cm giant like Father.’

A height significantly taller than average peers.

Broad shoulders and sharp features naturally developed through knight training and monster subjugation.

He had always resembled Callipus, but day by day, even his aura was becoming similar.

Because of this, strangers would misunderstand and think he looked cold, which had recently become one of my concerns.

Because—

“Brother. Instead of playing with me, you should be courting someone.”

“What?”

He was approaching marriageable age.
