【114】
This child is probably the Crown Prince.
It was a fact I’d only realized belatedly, my mind having been preoccupied with the long-horned beetle.
‘Teacher Cedric taught me that.’
Maximilian August Baratheum.
A child my own age who possessed the ability to summon exploding toy soldiers.
Which meant he was nine years old.
“The Crown Prince has quite the temperament. A textbook example of strength followed by weakness. Tsk. He shouldn’t be so large.”
“Then I should deal with him firmly!”
“Yes, well. The Imperial Family has no choice but to heed the Four Great Ducal Houses anyway. They’re a tiger with all its teeth fallen out, a phoenix without feathers. In other words, there’s nothing to fear!”
“I see.”
I recalled what Teacher Cedric had told me just before I left Fasayen.
“The First Prince has an unusual personality and is rather strange besides, and since he’s quite old, there’s little reason to be particularly concerned. Though the current Empress does support him with all her might, he isn’t even an Awakener to begin with.”
“Right!”
“After the Late Empress passed, the Crown Prince became a neglected child. He hasn’t received proper education from a true master, and the attendants and servants around him aren’t people from families of any real help. Since the current Empress has a firm grip on the Imperial Palace, his access to information will be quite limited.”
Of course, Teacher Cedric’s words weren’t suggesting I should speak informally to the Crown Prince—
[The Water Spirit King, Aurora, cries out in anger at the notion that I would be called incompetent!]
[The Air Spirit King, Shapasi, lets out a snort of laughter.]
[Your backing is me. Don’t lose heart.]
See? The Spirit Kings are taking my side like this.
[All Spirit Kings who have entered the room are observing the situation.]
With this, what could I possibly fear?
‘Besides, a Quest has appeared!’
A Quest!
Taming a Rude Kitten
The Flame Spirit King has given me homework!
✔
Make the Crown Prince, Maximilian August Baratheum, speak with respectful language
Reward upon success

Penalty upon failure
You must speak to Maximilian with formal language! (3 days)
Time limit
1 hour
Throughout all these years of peace, I’d rarely had the chance to collect or use the “You Did Great!” stamps.
Still, I’d gathered them bit by bit like a squirrel collecting acorns, and now I had a total of 8 stamps!
I needed 22 more to fill the entire stamp card.
‘So you’re going to be my stamp!’
I didn’t back down, crossing my arms instead. Then I stared intently at Maximilian, who was radiating indignation all by himself.
“You there! Is no one around?! Punish this insolent brat!”
“Child, is asking so difficult? Oh no, a rhinoceros beetle is going down your throat!”
“Ahhhhhhh!”
Hmm, teasing is fun, isn’t it?
‘There don’t seem to be any adults nearby to help.’
If I push a little harder, he’ll probably cry.
Oh, should I make him cry?
“Please! I’m begging you!”
Just as I was thinking that, Maximilian cried out urgently.
“Get it off me right now!!!”
“What should I do?”
“What do you mean why!”
“It’s gone?”
I looked at Maximilian’s stunned face and laughed wickedly.
“…You. You… You, I won’t let this slide. How dare you mock me, I won’t forgive you…!”
Soon Maximilian, his ears flushed crimson, trembled with rage throughout his entire body. His eyes were even bloodshot from his fury.
“So, who said I was incompetent?”
As I contentedly watched the glittering text announcing the Quest completion, I shifted my gaze to the Grape Seal that appeared next and shot back a remark.
[🙂: 14]
[Grape Seal Progress: 9/30]
So many stamps usable at the Eden Shop—how satisfying.
[The Earth Spirit King ‘■’ whispers to you.]
[Your family will be looking for you. Quite some time has passed, so let’s head back soon.]
Yes!
As I turned to leave, a jellyfish drifted over beside me. Then it spat out the rhinoceros beetle it had been holding right into my hand.
‘The truly terrifying moment with insects is when you can’t see them.’
Hmph, let him stay uncomfortable, then.
Revenge!
* * *
As darkness fell, I finished preparing for the banquet.
I gathered my pink hair into one bundle and twisted it up neatly, which looked rather like a seashell, so it was a bit amusing.
Still, since it was one of the etiquettes a newly debuted Awakener had to follow, I left it as is.
Next, I put on a teal-blue dress, and the skirt was embroidered with rushing waves in silver thread. A sea dragon was boldly emblazoned on the back of the jacket.
It wasn’t elegant or cute—it was cool.
The special design that fully revealed Fasayen’s identity suited me perfectly.
“I want to wear this hairpin too.”
“It doesn’t quite match the overall outfit, but… are you sure you want to?”
“Yes, please.”
Because this paper crane hairpin was a gift from Rasifer.
I wanted to show it. That I was wearing it.
‘Will Rasifer come today?’
[The Emotion Spirit King ‘■■■’ lies sprawled out, taking a deep breath.]
[The two of us are bound as Viju’s Companion? I have no regrets now….]
What worries me a little is this.
‘What if my Companion isn’t actually Rasifer, even though I’m firmly convinced it will be?’
I think I’d be incredibly shocked.
‘Of course, judging by the Emotion Spirit King’s reaction, it doesn’t seem like that!’
I stood beside Father, slightly tense.
To my right stood Mikard, now nearly Father’s height, and to Father’s left stood Elzen, who had swept his hair back—his exposed forehead gave off such a cool impression.
You might say he looked like a delicate plum blossom blooming in a white snowfield.
“Um… well, so.”
The Imperial Palace gatekeeper who saw us stammered slightly, flustered.
“The Guardian of the Sea, Master of the Sea Dragon! The Admiral of Fasayen of the Horizon, Diagon Fasayen, and his children enter!”
The gate carved with a soaring phoenix slowly opened, and Father stepped forward first.
The banquet hall, which had been noisy until just moments before, fell silent enough to hear water droplets falling, and we walked through it without hesitation.
To the very center of the Banquet Hall.
“My, is that the youngest one everyone’s been talking about?”
“Mikard Fasayen has grown up quite well. He’d make an excellent match. But he hasn’t found Viju’s Companion yet, has he?”
“There’s a high possibility he could become a strategic marriage partner.”
“Look there! That’s Elzen Fasayen. So the rumors about his illness being cured were true?”
I heard murmuring voices.
I scanned through the gaps between those people.
But Rasifer was nowhere to be found.
‘Haven’t they arrived yet?’
Well, Grandfather said the same thing—Household Master rank typically appears in the latter half of the banquet.
When I was learning the family trees of each household, I was so surprised to discover that Rasifer was the acting Household Master of Laximon.
“But what are these jellyfish?”
“They seem to be someone’s ability. Given that we’ve never seen them before, there’s a high probability they belong to the Fasayen Young Lady.”
Oh no!
The curious jellyfish had somehow drifted far away and were floating between the people.
I silently screamed and quickly gathered the jellyfish together.
‘Gather! Everyone come here, come here!’
After thinking it through carefully all this time—
my jellyfish were like five-year-old children, so they only gathered when I did this.
Because they had strong sense of self, I couldn’t control whether they disappeared or appeared.
‘I gave strict instructions before coming here! You mustn’t appear or wander around carelessly!’
Though my expression became slightly sad, I gathered the jellyfish together and then… laughed softly.
Teacher Cedric had told me to just laugh when something like this happened.
“Ho, how very cute. They have the feel of a little street gang leader.”
“The third child, right? For a third child to be an Awakener is already remarkable. Abilities with self-awareness are difficult to control, after all.”
“If we’re being harsh, we could say they’re endlessly picky and speak negatively… but the child’s smile is so cute that we just end up overlooking it.”
“By the way, what abilities do these jellyfish actually possess?”
Surprisingly, everyone.
Tada!
They have no abilities whatsoever!
Having no abilities is their ability!
