Baby Princess’ Survival Diary

Chapter 18



I woke up in the morning and opened my eyes. A familiar ceiling caught my eye.

 Driane was sitting outside the window when I awoke, and Nadia was sleeping.

 “Driane, hewwo.” (Driane, hello.)

 [Yeah, did you sleep well?]

 “Ung.” (Yes.) 

 I slept well at night without even dreaming. It was full of energy. I pulled the rope Jessie had been begging for when I woke up.

 But these days, Nadia kept pulling on this string and playing with it, so I was worried.

 ‘I have to tell my father and ask him to get rid of it…’

 While thinking for a while, the door opened with a ‘knock-knock’ sound. It was Jessie.

 “Are you awake, lady?”

 “Ung.” (Yes.) 

 “You have to wash up.”

 With Jessie’s help, I took off my clothes and washed. In my body, there was a flower scent that I couldn’t define.

 “Whath wind of fwower ish thhish?” (What kind of flower is this?)

 “It’s lavender, my lady.”

 “I wiwe ith…” (I like it…)

 When I raised my arm and smelled it, Jessie laughed and said.

 “I’ll prepare lavender bath bombs from now on.”

 “Ung!” (Yes!) 

 When I got out of the shower, Nadia was awake.

 [Hi!] 

 I just waved my hand in response to Nadia’s greetings.

 Because I haven’t been allowed to tell Jessie about the divine beast yet.

 I told my father that I wanted to tell Jessie, but he only told me to wait for a little.

 “Lady. How would you like breakfast?”

 “How abouth fathher?” (How about father?)

 “His Excellency has already eaten breakfast.”

 She said Jerion hadn’t woken up and my father had already eaten, so I didn’t really want to eat too much.

 “I wiww jushth eath a withthwe in my room…” (I will just eat a little in my room)

 “Yes, Lady. I will prepare.” 

 Usually, I eat with my father, but today I woke up a little late.

 “Please eat it, Lady.” 

 Jessie immediately brought bread, fried eggs, and sausage.

 [You must eat a lot to grow quickly.]

 I was going to leave a little, but I ate it all because I was worried about what Driane said.

 My stomach was full.

 *****

 At the time of the afternoon, Jerion woke up and came to my room.

 These days, Jerion comes to my room every day.

 Nadia and Jerion became close not just a little, but a lot like the ground hardened after the rain.



“Yay!” 

 [Look at this. Look at this.]

 Jerion followed Nadia around with a translucent body.

 Nadia’s tail was fluttering, and Jerion’s blonde hair was fluttering as well.

 I looked at it happily. As expected, children grow up fighting, too.

 Knock, knock. 

 At the sound of knocking on the door, I quickly cut off the divine power to Nadia.

 Come to think of it, it was time for Jessie and Nancy to visit. Because it’s almost time to eat lunch.

 “Fathher!” (Father!) 

 “Fathher!” (Father!) 

 It seems that my father is also having lunch with me after a long time.

 It happened sometimes when he was busy with his work.

 I ran toward my father excitedly. My father hugged both of us and put us on his lap.

 “Okay, let’s have lunch.”

 At my father’s words, Jerion said hooray.

 ******

 I was supposed to study with Shane after lunch, but Shane was a little late today.

 Something seemed to have happened.

 So I practiced how to control my divine power by watching Nadia and Jerion running around in the room.

 [I guess it’s better for a baby to train to control your power]

 Kirin was already blooming.

 When I was told to make it grow a little bit, I was excited and poured my divine power into it, and it bloomed quickly.

 [Baby’s divine power is so strong that it keep trying to break through the path… Until the path widens, it’s better to press the divine power]

 “Then wather?” (Then later?)

 [It is more difficult to disperse, so share, a small amount of divine power than to pour out a mighty divine power. Baby is going on a more difficult path, so there is no need to worry about it later.]

 “Ung!” (Yes!) 

 I practiced by releasing my divine power little by little.

 Shane was late today, so practice took a little longer. Shane arrived in the late afternoon.

 “Hewwo.” (Hello.)

 “Hello, Lady.”

 Shane looked tired. My father also looks tired these days, they seem to be very busy at work.

 “If you’re reawwy bushy, i can wearn from shomeone ewshe.” (If you’re really busy, I can learn from someone else.)

 “It’s my pleasure to teach you. So you don’t have to worry.”

 “Reawwy?” (Really?) 

 “The lady is a student who makes me happy while I’m teaching.”

 “I’m happy if you thhinw sho.” (I’m happy if you think so.)

 Shane smiled faintly at what I said.

 Shane’s expression changes slightly when he smiles. He becomes a very young looking boy with a cold impression.

 He doesn’t seem to like it, but I thought that smiling looked better on Shane.

 “Today, we’re going to learn the intermediate level of imperialism.”

  “Whoaa!”

 I was able to write a diary with the words I had learned so far, but that was only to that extent. 

 Even now, while I was writing my diary, there were a lot of blank spaces, but I am moving up to the intermediate level. So I was excited.

 “You have to do your proper posture, Lady.” 

 “Ah!”

 At Shane’s words, I straightened my back. Shane was a caring but strict teacher.

 Proper posture was one of the first things Shane taught.

 I was excited and straightened up the posture that had been briefly disturbed. Shane’s expression loosened.

 Like that, the afternoon study time has passed.

 “Nunya! snacwsh!” (Nunya! Snacks!)

 “Oway!” (Okay!) 

 Nancy followed behind Jerion. Nancy was holding a strawberry pudding.

 It was almost dinner time after the snack time, but I didn’t eat snacks today, so I thought it would be okay.

 Today’s snack seemed to be pudding. The juice was orange juice for me, and strawberry juice for Jerion.

 Jerion, who eats strawberries, looked happy.

 ******

 The dinner was soft beef steak.

 The excited Jerion and Nadia danced the same dance without seeing each other, making me laugh out loud.

 “Nunya!”

 When I laughed, Jerion called me and danced more excitedly. The same was true for Nadia. 

 After laughing for a while, we were able to eat dinner.

 After dinner, I took a light walk. The garden was so large that it was amazing no matter how many times I went.

 When I came back from a walk, it was already time to sleep.

 Strangely, I threw it away because I didn’t want to fall asleep, but I couldn’t get over my sleepiness.

 ******

 I had a dream.

 It was the first time when I was sold to the Duke of Enotis.

 At that time, I was treated like a guest of honor. The Duke was kind, and the Princess smiled at me. 

 At the beginning, everyone in the Duke was friendly.

 The priests were the same.

 They only said they want to measures my divine power not transferred it. 

 So at that time, I was full of hope.

 Wouldn’t this place treat me well as a maid? It was a time when I was dreaming that if I was lucky, I would return it as a foster daughter. 

 But gradually, the Princess ignored me, and the Duke began to abuse me.

 It wasn’t long after the Duke abused me that the employees began to continue the abuse.

 The dream I had today was when I was inflated with hope.

 It was in the middle of the night when I woke up from my dream.

 It was nothing like a nightmare, so I didn’t get suffocated like a dream I had before.

 I thought it was just a thing of the past, but I couldn’t stop my hands from shaking.

 Fortunately, I didn’t wake up screaming because it wasn’t my usual dream of getting hit or kicking. I didn’t even sweat.

 When will my hands stop shaking?

 I didn’t want to be afraid of Duke Enotis.

 I bit my lips well and soon let out a sigh.

 “I shhouwd geth more shweep—” (I should get more sleep—”)

 Driane and Nadia had been dreaming for a long time.

 When I looked outside, I felt like I woke up shortly after I fell asleep.

 [Baby?] 

 “Driane…?”

 [You should sleep, why did you wake up?]

 Only then did I laugh at the sweet words of Driane.

 “Jushth… i’ww shweep more” (Just… I’ll sleep more.)

 [Okay. You should cover yourself with blanket.]

 Driane flew over and covered me with a blanket.

 I was relieved to see Driane lying on top of me and Nadia sleeping next to me.

 [Did you have a bad dream?]

 “No…”

 It wasn’t a bad dream.

 Because it wasn’t a dream to get beaten or get hit.

 At what I said, Driane looked relieved.

 Driane seemed worried.

 [Then what dream did you have?]

 “The firshth thime… when i wash in Duwe Enothish…” (The first time… When I was in Duke Enotis…)

 [Evil things have come out. But wasn’t it a bad dream?] 

 “Ung… ith’sh noth abouth when i geth hith or ewshe…” (Yes… It’s not about when I get hit or else…)

 [Then?]

 “Jushth… everyone are wind…” (Just… Everyone are kind…)

 [So that’s what it looks like at first]

 Even though I said that way, Driane understood it amazingly quickly.

 Driane closed my eyes with its front paws.

 [It’s a relief that it’s not a bad dream. But you have to sleep now]

 When I saw the dark outside, it seemed to be in the middle of the night.

 I have to sleep now to get up early tomorrow and study, so I closed my eyes as soon as Driane closed my eyes.

 Driane tapped my forehead as if I did a good job.

 “Good nighth…” (Good night…)

 [Yeah. Good night]
