42. My child’s birthday party (4)
[Episode 42] – My child’s birthday party (4)
Originally, at a party or ball hosted by the royal family, it is customary for the royal family to perform the first dance. Usually, at such a ball, the royal family would be with the ‘married’ whom they had met since childhood…
Alternatively, it is customary to dance with unmarried relatives, but today’s ‘Royal Seventh Birthday’ was different. The “Parents” Of a princess or prince dance with their “Children” Who are celebrating their seventh birthday.
It is said that it is the custom of the ‘seventh birthday of the royal family’.
In other words, I, ignoring all such customs, went up to the dance hall in the middle of the party venue with the princess, and it was no different than declaring this to all the nobles here.
I am the princess’ parent.
Obviously, the eyes on me and the princess who came up to the dance hall were not very nice. In particular, the gaze directed at me was so sharp that I could feel it pricked by a needle.
I couldn’t hear the nobles muttering as they looked at me, but I could guess how they were talking while looking at me. Maybe…
For the second queen, who is not blood-mixed with the princess and does not even receive the royal family name, to bring on the princess’s parents is to cross the line far beyond-
On such an important day, not following the customs of the royal family and doing something that would normally never be possible, a ballroom dance between women in front of everyone-

It must have been the nagging of old people who were roughly old-fashioned and obvious.
Ignoring such bullsh*t that would only waste time if I heard it, I grabbed the princess’s hand and headed towards the very center of the dance hall. The princess moved her body with a creak, as if the gaze of others was still burdensome.
Like an awkward wooden doll with her arms and legs extending at the same time, the princess arrived at the very center of the dance hall with me, taking a hard step with her nervous body.
Seeing the princess relax by clasping and opening her hands to warm them up, I burst into laughter without knowing it.
“Titania, don’t be too nervous.”
“Yes, four…!”
The words were strong and pretty, but the actions weren’t like that at all. She came up to the center of the dance hall, but perhaps because she was nervous, the princess, whose head had turned white, hesitated, not knowing what to do.
‘I don’t have to be so nervous…’
Perhaps it was because she had made a mistake in her first greeting earlier, or perhaps she was obsessed with the thought that she should not make any more mistakes.
“Titania, raise your hand.”
When I reached out my hand to the princess to start dancing, the nervous princess grabbed my hand! Caught. And even an ugly forced smile that was awkward. It was to the point of feeling sorry for the viewer because he seemed so overly nervous.
I held the cold princess’s hand and whispered softly.
“You don’t have to be too nervous. Let’s just do what we practiced with Fran.”
“Hey, practice…”
As I held the princess’s hand, music began to flow slowly through the party hall. The waltz song that the princess had practiced dozens of times hundreds of times gradually spread and informed everyone of the beginning of the dance.
However, even as the music began to play, the princess seemed to have no intention of dancing as she trembled like a frightened little rabbit. I grabbed the princess’s hand and slowly began to lead her.
And then, in a very low voice so that only the princess could hear in the music, she whispered to the anxious princess. Don’t be too nervous
“Titania, today is your birthday. Your fourth seventh birthday, not anyone’s birthday. No matter what other people say, today is the only day for you to have fun and be happy.”
At my little whisper, I felt the trembling in the princess’s hand start to stop. The princess, who slowly started to step along with my lead, looked up blankly at me.
I, too, looked at the princess and smiled.
“So let’s have fun together, dancing is for fun.”
At my words, the princess nodded slightly.
I could no longer feel the trembling in the princess’ hands. He still had a nervous expression on his face, but he didn’t dance as tremblingly as before. Let’s keep dancing like that…
A smile gradually began to spread on the face of the princess as she stepped on the step led by my hand. As if dancing was really fun, the nervous expression gradually changed to a smile and the princess started dancing to the song.
One, two, one, two.
Dancing to my lead, the princess was no longer nervous. The princess, who smiles brightly like a flower that blooms brightly, began to perfectly dance the dance she had learned from Fran.
Suddenly, seeing the princess happily dancing reminded me of the last time Frank came to visit me. Said that the princess could finally dance like a dance, she boasted to me that the expressionless Fran made a V with both hands.
I was proud of the growth of the princess who danced in front of me after learning how to dance from Fran, whom I hated so much. At the climax of the song, I put my hands on the princess’s armpits, lifted her high into the sky, and spun around.
“Kyaa!”
A pleasant laugh flowed from the mouth of the princess who flew high into the sky. Once again, I grabbed the princess by the waist, lifted her high into the sky, and spun around.
The princess is happy again.
There was no longer a nervous, creaking figure of the princess. It’s just that right now, they dance lightly to the music and have fun. The princess was really happy and enjoyed dancing with me.
Of course, so did I.
As we danced so happily, the last note of the waltz resonated long in the hall before we knew it. It was a cultured waltz, but it was just a result of dancing happily with each other, but the reaction from the people around me was pretty good.
As if they were waiting for the music to end, as soon as the dance ended, there was a loud applause from around them. After hearing the loud applause, the princess was able to look at the nobles around her with a smile.
Nodding off-
The princess gave a dignified greeting to the aristocrats who clapped her hands, and slowly descended down the dance hall holding my hand. The princess started walking with a fluttering gait, exhaling air from her nose, as if the heat of the dance still remained in her body.
Then, seeing Franc standing in the distance, the princess leaped from him, put his hands on her waist, spread her breasts, and looked up at Franc.
As if the princess looked at Fran with a confident expression, ‘How was it, did you do really well this time?’, She wanted to finally be recognized for her dancing, but…
“Today at least the princess wasn’t a squid.”
Fran said as if he hadn’t even thought about it. Impressed by the praise that is saltier than salt! The frowning princess yells at Fran! She screamed.
“Why can’t you just give me compliments?! I did a good job!!”
“This is currently the greatest tribute I can give to the princess.”
Fran did not change his expression at all and just evaluated the princess calmly. Well, if that’s Fran, it’s Fran, but… I smiled as I looked at the soft smile on Fran’s lips.
Looking at the Android that has become a little more human.

After that, the princess’s seventh birthday party ended successfully.
The birthday party with the nobles is over, but there is still an after party left.
Me and the princess. And Aincel and Fran.
A small after-party with four people like this.
For the princess who was starving because she hadn’t eaten anything all day, I decided to gather some leftovers from the party venue and gather in my room to hold a small after-party.
It was party food that had cooled down, but the princess was so hungry that she hurriedly put the food in her mouth without savoring the taste. After swallowing the food in her mouth, the princess let out a deep sigh as if she would finally live.
Looking at him, I smiled.
“Are you that hungry?”
“Yes… I haven’t eaten anything since morning… I’m really, really hungry…”
Perhaps it was embarrassing that she hurriedly ate her food, the princess gently covered her mouth with her hands and smiled briskly.
I wiped the sauce from the corners of the princess’ mouth with her handkerchief, took out the ain cell from her ear, and held it out to the princess. The princess tilted her head and accepted the ainsel I offered.
“Ainsel wants to give you a present for her birthday.”
“Really?”
The princess’s eyes sparkled at the word birthday present.
-The present I will give you is my ‘alter self’. If you’re too young to put these mirror earrings on your ears, you can string them on and use them as necklaces.
Following Ainsel’s words, I hung the gold string I had prepared in advance on my earrings and made it look like a necklace. When the necklace thus made was hung around the princess’s neck, the mirror hung on her chest shone and reflected on Ainsel.
– You can talk to me anytime by tapping the mirror twice. All I can give you is this… I’m sorry. If you don’t like…
The princess lifted the ainsel from her neck and looked at the ainsel while shaking his head. Then, as if he was really happy, he smiled bashfully and hugged Ainsel.
“No! I really like it! Was it a gift from the first friend I dated? And… With just this, we can talk together at night, right? Right? It was always a pity that I couldn’t talk to Aincel outside of class…”
Ainsel, who burst into tears at the princess’s words, pretended to hug her princess while struggling with her arms in her mirror. Seeing that gesture, the princess also hugged the little Ainsel to her chest and hugged her tightly.
When I saw the princess hugging the small mirror, I smiled for some reason even though it was touching. So the princess, who had put her ainsel around her neck, looked at her franc this time.
Ainsel also gave her a gift, but Fran looked at Fran with a look of wishing for something from her as if she had nothing to give herself, but Fran shook her head as she looked at such a princess. Was
“Sorry. I came here in a hurry, so I have nothing to give the princess as a present.”
“Ugh…”
The princess shrugged her shoulders in regret and nodded her head. If she wasn’t there, she couldn’t help it, and the moment she was about to give up on her early, Fran took out one of her things from her pocket and held it out to her princess.
In a paper envelope in the shape of a letter, the princess tilted her head and accepted something from Fran. The princess tilted her head and looked at Fran, as if asking what this was.
“This is an invitation to the Coven, a meeting of witches.”
At the word Kerven’s invitation, I looked at Fran with a slight frown. No matter how much she says she has nothing to give a present, even so, is it a ‘Kubin’s invitation’ to the princess?
“Curven’s invitation? Why did you do that to Titania?”
