40. My child’s birthday party (2)
[Chapter 40] – My child’s birthday party (2)
Finally, the day of the princess’s birthday party has dawned.
The princess’s birthday party was held in the evening, but the kingdom was very noisy from morning. Firecrackers were set off from broad daylight and everyone congratulated and blessed the princess on her birthday.
The nobility of the capital opened a storehouse to celebrate the birthday of the princess and gave free food and drinks to the people.
The minstrels composed and performed poems celebrating the seventh birthday of the royal family, and people sang and danced to the poems to bless the princess’ existence.
Firecrackers were set off all over the streets, children ran frantically in the streets, and young people were busy shouting “Long live the princess” By drinking alcohol in broad daylight.
Early in the morning, the gates of the palace opened, and the carriages of nobles and merchants who had lined up in front of them entered the palace one by one. All of them contained valuable items, and all of them were gifts to the princess.
A day to give thanks for growing up healthy after an infancy with a high mortality rate, sincerely congratulate and bless the future leader of the royal family, rejoice and be happy together.
It was a day like this that was the seventh birthday of the royal family.

The dazzlingly sparkling dresses and accessories filled the room without any space to set foot on. I wanted to go see the princess dress up, but I also had to dress up as if I were attending a party.
One of the maids taking care of me swallowed dryly and looked at me. She said that she would touch me from now on, that she would dress me up, and asked me to be quiet, and comforted me as if I was pacifying a rambunctious puppy.
Before I came into this body, there was a party, and it was because at that time, Vivian threw a gag and a gag at the same time. I silently nodded her head and looked at her maid.
“As you know, Her Highness the Queen has many things to prepare.”
“Don’t worry. I won’t do anything this time. The princess will be waiting for you, so let’s do it quickly.”
The maid shed some tears as she looked at me at the kind words Vivian would never say. Then, she started to explain what I had to do next.
“…First, take a warm water bath for 30 minutes, followed by a warm milk bath for 30 minutes, then apply rose balm to your skin. And, repeat this three times. And after taking a nap after the massage-“
“…?”
The moment I heard the schedule, which was divided into minutes, I almost became possessed again by Vivian, who had died in my body. I could understand just a little bit of why Vivian had put both the sh*t and the sh*t together the other day.
Three hours of bathing, followed by massage, gymnastics, and a haircut. In addition, it is said that it is time to attend the princess’s birthday party that will be just in the evening when she dresses up and dresses her hair.
As I listened to the schedule and raised my eyebrows involuntarily, the maid who continued her explanation looked at me with a worried expression.
It seems that you have done quite a bit of image management so far, but it still seems to be lacking…
I chewed over the already exhausting schedule again, let out a deep sigh and tried to smile.
In my ear, Ainsel said, ‘Smile! Smile! That’s why you really look like Vivian!’
“…Okay, let’s get started.”
So, the hellish minute-by-minute embellishment began.

I was really, really tired.
I wasn’t even allowed to eat food because my stomach was protruding, and it was hard to even breathe, let alone move, because of the corset that I tightened almost like torture. When I tightened the corset, I really screamed, ‘Just kill me!’
I was able to escape from the room after I finished dressing like that, and I slowly started walking towards the princess’s room with a tired body. Before entering the party venue, I really wanted to see the princess in her dress.
I barely arrived at the princess’s room, wearing unfamiliar high shoes and shaking my legs like a newborn deer.
“Your Highness the Queen!”
“Princess!”
When the door opened, I saw the princess rushing into my arms. The princess was wearing a ‘Snow White’-like dress with red accents on her blue dress.
It was cute with more frills than the dresses I usually wear, and it was a very cute children’s dress with a wide skirt that made it look very active.
The princess showed off her dress as she twirled in front of me, as if she liked the dress. I put my hands in the princess’s armpits and hugged her, rubbing her cheeks against mine.
Because it was really cute.
“As expected, I have eyes for choosing clothes. You really are the prettiest in the world today. Even Ainsel couldn’t say anything, perhaps because he admired it.”
“Ehehehe. Thank you! The dress of Her Highness the Queen is also very beautiful!”
I just rolled my eyes and looked at the full-length mirror in the princess’s room. The dress I wore was a dress with minimal decorations, a deep blue dress.
A dress that follows the body line without puffiness. The front was plain, but the back was a dress that was slightly embarrassingly cut out. To borrow the words of the maids, it was bold and luxurious.
It is said that the small jewels embedded in the skirt reflect the light and give the illusion of walking in the Milky Way… To be honest, it was just embarrassing clothes to me.
But since the princess is said to be beautiful, she might look beautiful for some reason.
“Huh, thank you. They say the princess is beautiful, so she looks that way to me too.”
“Gee, it’s real. Just uh, I mean, it’s as pretty as the sea!”
A princess who struggles with both arms and makes up for her lack of vocabulary with actions. When I looked at the princess like that, I couldn’t help but burst into laughter.
When I turned my head slightly, Fran stood next to me and looked at the princess gently in my arms, as if Fran had helped her dress up.
Is it because of the classes I’ve been taking? Fran seemed to have become very close with the princess. I smiled and thanked Fran.
“Thank you for helping the princess dress up. Would you like to go to the party venue first? We’ll be leaving soon.”
“Okay. We will wait for you at the party venue.”
Fran lowered her head expressionlessly and headed slowly toward the door. Seeing that her franc was heading for her door, the princess waved her hand gently at her franc, and Franc waved her hand softly as well.
With a smile too.
Fran, who had never smiled in front of me, smiled at the princess. At first, I thought the princess’ statement that Fran laughed sometimes was just a joke, but…
I put the princess back on the floor and gently brushed her hair. I can’t let her tidy up hair get messy. After gently stroking it, he held out her hand to the princess.
“Well then, shall we go to the party venue too, princess?”
“Yes! Great!”
The princess, who grabbed my outstretched hand, smiled broadly and shouted in a bright voice. The princess and I held hands tightly and slowly headed towards the party venue.
The maids and nobles who met in the corridor greeted the princess every time, saying that she was beautiful and congratulations.
The princess straightened her shoulders and started to walk confidently, to the point where I wondered if she was the princess who was so nervous and trembled in my arms last night. Is this the effect of praise?
As we walked with the princess to the party venue with a confident step, we arrived at the door where the ‘royal family’ entered the party venue before we knew it. When you open the door, everyone’s eyes are focused on one place.
I asked the attendant guarding the door.
“Has Her Highness the Queen Mother already entered?”
“Yes, Her Highness the Queen. Her Highness the Queen Mother arrived in time for the party.”
You arrived earlier than expected.
The Queen Mother seemed to have entered the party venue before us in order to see her princess’ party debut faster than anyone else.
When I opened that big door and entered, I remembered the image of the queen trying to watch her granddaughter’s first party debut from the seat right in front of her, and I laughed without knowing it.
I paused the attendant trying to announce our position, then squatted down to meet the princess’s gaze. The princess tilted her head and looked at me blankly.
“Princess.”
“Yes, Her Highness the Queen!”
Looking at the princess’s bright smile, I thought of the princess’s name for a moment.
At first, I thought about giving it a different name. There were several names suitable for a princess.
However, I also thought that this name would suit the princess more than any other name.
Black hair that glistens like stars embroidered in the night sky.
A ‘girl who will be with the fairies’, who will later command numerous fairies.
And a princess who will one day become the ‘queen’ of this country.
What’s a suitable name for this child?
As expected, I thought that there was no other name than this one.
“I have a present for the princess for her birthday.”
“A present…?”
The princess’s eyes sparkled at the word gift.
With a smile, I got up from my seat and headed to the attendant. I told the attendant to inform me of my position first, and then to inform the princess’s position.
The attendant nodded in agreement and announced my position by shouting.
“The Second Queen! ‘Vivian Liliensole’ is entering!”
The door to the party hall opened, and I turned around and looked at the princess. Perhaps the princess hadn’t noticed yet, she was staring blankly at me.
I called the princess once again.
“Princess.”
At my call, the princess lifted her head and looked at me. Water began to form in the princess’s eyes, as if she seemed to know something.
“Her Highness the Queen…?”
“This is my birthday present to you.”
As I turned around and entered the party venue, I looked at the attendant and nodded.
“Shout out the ‘name’ of the princess and let everyone know.”
*
At the words of Her Highness the Queen, the attendant shouted louder and louder so that everyone in the party hall could hear this name.
“You are the star of this party, and today is your 7th birthday!”
Hearing a loud cry that seemed to ring in her ears, the princess unconsciously grabbed her breasts.
Every time the attendant shouted, the princess’s heart trembled and her eyes blushed.
Grinding her teeth to hold back the bursting tears, she raised her head and looked ahead.
My eyes were dazzled by the lights at the party venue.
The princess saw Her Highness waiting for her at her door and holding out her hand. Slowly the princess moved her trembling steps toward it.
To cover up her feelings that she might cry at any moment, the princess curled up the corners of her eyes and smiled, and she started to approach her waiting for her.
Hearing her own ‘name’ she will hear her whole life from now on.
The princess took a step forward to take her hand, which she held out for her.
To her, to her, to her, to her, to her who truly loves her.
“Princess of the kingdom! Princess ‘Titania Snow White’ is entering!”
