“What is this, what is that child and why is Lerhagen-sama?”

The ‘Doll Estria’, who replicated my personality as it is, calmly sat down on the throne on the podium in spite of the nobles’ urgings, and kept silent.

How long had passed, when the nobles instinctively shut their mouths one by one in the continued silence of ‘my’, ‘my’ opened her mouth.

<The reason I summoned the ghosts here today is to announce an important matter.> “It’s an important matter.”

<In the meantime, I kept quiet to the nobles, but in fact, Jim has a daughter with Lerhagen.> At that moment, the garden became quiet as if cold water had been poured on it.

Like a child who doesn’t want to be attached to her mother, I held the ‘doll’ by the hand and examined the faces of the aristocrats.

‘There’s nothing strange about it yet.’

The aristocrats seemed frozen to the fact that “I” had a daughter.

Even the fact that the daughter’s father is Lerhagen is probably the biggest shock of their lives.

“Suddenly, what is this?”

The first to speak after breaking the long silence was none other than Duke Delmen, Regan’s father and head of the Senate.

After my maternal grandfather, the Duke of Elbeerts, and my hostile Archduke Kellyard had completely left the Senate, he became almost the head of the nobles, and he seemed faithful to his duties.

Of course, even so, it didn’t mean much under ‘my’ cold eyes.

<Can’t I?>

it won’t work

In fact, I knew too. It was not common for an emperor to give birth to a child and hide it away from the attention of his ministers.

Besides, most of the people here were people who hoped that their son or family member would catch my eye and become the husband of the emperor.

Of course, the purpose is to tamper with the imperial authority.

So how big would their impact be?

Even if that wasn’t the case, one day the emperor suddenly appeared with a child just like him, and it’s surprising.

I opened my eyes wide and met the gazes of the nobles who were looking at me.

Meanwhile, Duke Delmen, who was choosing his words, opened his mouth.

“Are you saying that this child, no, Her Highness, is truly the daughter of the Dragon Lord? No how-“

<All the men sent by the nobles took good care of them. It was so obvious that everyone was aiming for it, so it was funny.> By the way, this was my sincerity.

<So I looked for a man who would not play around with the demons, and I saw the heir, but don’t you like it?

<So what are you going to do?>

-_-

<I gave birth to a dragon and a child because I did not trust the nobles. So will I kill this child, or will I kill that Dragon Lord, or-.> I laughed inwardly.

At that moment, my languid voice mixed with laughter rang out.

<Would you kill Jim?>

“your majesty!”

<Jim killed his own blood and rose to the throne. That is why the Lords call me a tyrant.> “Never!”

<It doesn’t matter. Wouldn’t it be better to be a bloody tyrant than a weak king? One you must know. I killed my blood relatives too, but what about those who are not blood relatives?

Even though I was borrowing the mouth of a ‘doll’, in fact, all of this was just a warning from me.

<My imperial power does not disappear just because I gave birth to a child. No, now that we have an heir, it will be even more solid.

<Do not upload.>

The nobles let out a sigh as if they knew that would happen.

But in fact, it might be better for them.

Indeed, accepting a dragon lord worshiped by all races as her official husband would be more complicated than simply giving birth to a child.

I looked at the faces of the nobles and finally glanced at Lerhagen. Even though I spoke with dignity at best, Lerhagen just sat in a chair and closed his eyes.

Yes, it would be better to sit there like a symbol than to speak needlessly.

Moreover, his very existence suppressed the spirits of many nobles and silenced them.

I was thinking that I should finish it soon, but Duke Delmen asked.

“You may ask the name of Her Highness, the princess.”

“Est.”

It was me who answered this time. At the glances that suddenly turned to me, I said with a smile.

“Est de Leviace, this is Arcizes.”

“If it’s Eshut.”

“It’s my mother’s childhood name. It was specially made by my mother. Yes?”

“Doll” nodded at my question. I looked around the nobles as if there was anything else I could ask.

After how much time had passed, Duke Delmen sighed deeply and stood up.

“Meet Her Highness, the Princess.”

The head of the Senate behaves like this, but the attitude of the rest of the nobles is nothing to look at.

I looked alternately at Regan standing to one side and Lerhagen, who seemed to have fallen asleep, and finally smiled broadly at the nobles.

“okay. Forward, well, please.”

The meeting ended safely.

Of course, it seemed like I was the only one who thought so, but for now, no one in the Senate doubted my identity.

Instead, they paid attention to ‘the emperor hid and raised the daughter he had with the dragon lord’, and thanks to that, it was Regan who was busy.

As soon as the meeting was over, he was captured by the nobles, but I didn’t bother to rescue him from the clutches of the nobles because he decided to explain the trivial matters in the first place.

Finally, after sending the ‘doll’ to my room, I locked the door magically so no one could enter, and returned to the newly ‘my room’.

As soon as I stepped into the room, I was afraid to admire the elaborately decorated interior, so I pointed my finger at the ‘things’ on the bed and asked.

“What are those?”

“It’s a doll! Regan-nim didn’t prepare it, so I specially prepared it! cute right? I didn’t know what you like, so I prepared a cat, a dog, a fox, and a rabbit.”

Selah’s bright face left me speechless.

Yes, it would be natural for her common sense to have at least one or two dolls in her child’s room.

But the problem was that I wasn’t a child, and there were too many of those dolls.

And, crucially, I hated dolls.

‘I’d like to tell them to get rid of it, but since it’s a child’s room, it’ll look better to leave it alone.’

Eventually, I forced myself to smile and went to bed.

And as I casually picked up the rabbit doll, I suddenly remembered that it was the first time I had a doll in ‘my room’ like this.

There was no lady-in-waiting, so there was no way she would have had a doll or something. These good things always belonged to my brothers, and I never dared to touch them.

They always boasted about the doll in front of me saying that it was a gift from Obama.

That’s why I hate dolls. because i didn’t have

“Do you like stuffed rabbits?”

I guess I was lost in thought without even realizing it. I suddenly woke up from my thoughts at Selah’s question. And he shook his head.

“No, I don’t like it.”

“Then a cat?”

“More than that, I’m hungry.”

I finally changed the topic to get away from Sela’s burdensome gaze. He clapped his hands as if he remembered Selah.

“I’ll bring snacks.”

“No, not a snack, but a meal… … .”

“But it’s not lunchtime yet.”

I clicked my tongue slightly.

‘You are surprisingly stubborn. Am I the motivated type?’

Contrary to what I thought, Selah smiled and said.

“I have to eat later, so I’ll bring something light like fruit. I’m sorry I couldn’t prepare dessert in advance because I was busy today. From now on, I will make it myself.”

What a fuss.

But there was no need to dry it.

I watched Selah rush out of the room, and as soon as the door closed, I casually placed the doll in my hand on the bed and climbed onto the bed.

It was made for my height and was fairly easy to climb.

Where could that be, the room itself was cute and pretty, as if it had been custom-made for me.

The room I dreamed of as a child.

‘Riggan is also doing some really useless things. I should just decorate it roughly.’

While looking around the room while reciting that, I turned my gaze to the mirror.

Among them was ‘Princess Estuth’ with slightly chubby cheeks. Staring at it, I blinked.

I thought about how long I should stay like this, but I realized that it was a meaningless worry and gave up.

‘First of all, it’s important to act well so that people around you don’t notice. And we should investigate as quietly as possible.’

Didn’t they even create a ‘fake family’ for all of this? As soon as I thought that, I felt strange.

it’s family

But I quickly got out of my mind.

‘Come to think of it, both Lerhagen and Hasis will enter the imperial palace by the end of today. Wouldn’t he make a mistake?’

Since the hidden princess had just been announced today, it was obvious that they too would receive everyone’s attention. Yesterday I was in a hurry so I didn’t tell you the details.

‘I’m going to go visit you and give you a warning. I’m also asking for a favor.’

Thinking so, I smiled

The sudden announcement of my existence seemed to have surprised the people in the imperial palace more than expected.

As if to prove it, as soon as I left the room, all eyes were on me, and some of them were neither very friendly nor malicious.

In other words, curiosity.

Yes, I, who was walking with eyes close to curiosity, knocked on Lerhagen’s door, but when there was no response from the other side of the door, I twisted my face.
