NOVEL NEXT Chapter 6. Concubine's financial situation (4) + 1st birthday (1) Suddenly, I had an idea.
Originally, this concubine was a palace that had not been used by anyone for a while before Lyfana came in after giving birth to Arel.
No one will ever be the owner of this place while it is empty.
....if she was the owner of this concubine before her.
“?...”
No way.”
The nanny muttered, her complexion slightly pale.
“That would be an overthinking...”
It is unwise to pass it up without evidence.
The important thing is the existence of this diamond now.
A diamond that is not currently recorded in the royal treasury, although it is necessary to find out about the source.
It probably won't come out even if you investigate.
“Then…
a diamond without an owner.
If you have this, you will be able to live safely this winter and the next few years.
Nanny also guessed that Lipana would keep trying to see the king, but in the end it would be impossible.
A hidden diamond found in such a car
“It looks like it was used for this time.”
The nurse looked down at Arell with a light smile at the presence of the diamond discovered at such an opportune time.
Still, Ai is just smiling as if she doesn't know anything.
Well... he's only five months old.
It must be a coincidence
Still, it is thanks to this child that I discovered this. “thank you. Prince. Thanks to you, I think I can live safely for a while.”
The nanny obediently thanked Arel.
Coincidentally or not, he was the one who discovered this.
Maybe this child is being taken care of by God?
With that thought in mind, the nanny once again thanked Arel for bringing the diamond.
? ? ?
Diamond Delivery Success!
Human beings can imagine and believe on their own, provided they appropriately decorate their surroundings to be plausible.
A grooved hidden space suitable for hiding diamonds.
And the diamonds I bit and sucked while playing in front of him.
Putting this in my mouth, which was a pile of charcoal until just now, was a bit repulsive to an intellectual like me, but it is for the sake of acting full of reality.
Wow! Wow! Hey support!
In any case, if there is a situation like this, I will imagine it on my own and put it together appropriately.
The nanny was also perplexed, but luckily she had no doubts.
It's enough if you think you've got enough of it.
Of course, this home was something I stumbled upon a little while ago.
It was just right.
hidden property?
I really don't know if it's in this concubine or not.
Listening to the muttering of the nanny, it seems that there are rumors about something.
Originally, there were rumors going around old mansions and palaces, so it wouldn't be too suspicious.
Later, when you grow up and have free time, how about a treasure hunt to find out what's really going on?
I don't think there will be anything.
Anyway, all that's left now is for the nanny to exchange the diamonds I gave her for money.
How many Arel special artificial diamonds will come out?
throbbing.
Guess the appraiser!
? ? ?
tell me the result!
For as little as five years, there was no need to worry about freezing to death during the winter.
For the next five years, the fireplace will burn non-stop during the winter.
Of course, it wasn't to the extent of being extravagant, but it was a satisfying enough result.
Still, it did a lot better than I expected.
When I first heard it, I was also a bit surprised.
I thought there was nothing to say even if the quality was low because there was a point that it was a forgery and I made it completely ignorant only by force when making diamonds.
Did the nanny go to a pretty decent place and sell it, or did the guy who bought the diamond just not have eyes for it?
As expected, it may be because there is no concept of an artificial diamond in this world yet.
I wondered what if there was a technology to mass-produce jewels using magic that I didn't know about yet, but fortunately.
Actually, that was a bit of a concern.
Anyway, from my point of view, I am satisfied with the results.
Is that right?
“It's fortunate...
Seeing my mother sighing in relief with sincere joy makes it worthwhile to make artificial diamonds while whimpering.
Now, Mom and Nanny were talking about the diamond discovery.
No matter what, the amount of money suddenly came out of nowhere, so at least it couldn't be kept a secret from my mother, so the nanny spoke first.
Of course, at that time, I had already sold the diamonds.
I can't believe I sold it right away and returned the next day.
I also admired the nanny's acting ability.
“Is that okay? If it belongs to someone else...
When Mom expressed such petit-bourgeois concerns, the nanny shook her head, saying to be relieved.
“That won't happen. This concubine was unused for nearly a hundred years until Lady Leafa came.”
uh? Is my house that old?
Somehow it rained.
Even if the money from selling the diamonds was not small in the sense of the common people, from the royal family's point of view, it would not be as good as when it was caught in the claws of sparrows.
....Sadly, the value of our house is not even worth the new claws.
sniff It's so sad.
Well, I also thought that far, so I created an artificial diamond.
Anyway, someone noticed later and said something, but this concubine's property was already passed down to her mother.
If you catch it, it's over.
“Maybe it was sent down by God for the prince.”
“I don’t think so… I’m really glad.”
The nanny's joke-like words made the mother obediently delighted.
It's nice to see you really happy.
I wonder how much pain I've been through all this time.....
Now, for the time being, I'm relieved with this.
The only thing left for me to do is to grow quickly.
Just wait until I grow up.
After that, my father will rip off a lot.
1st birthday (1)
We survived the winter with the money we sold diamonds. Time flies really quickly, and it's already been a year since I was born.
A baby's growth is said to be at the speed of light.
I grew plump compared to when I was born, and now my body has developed enough to crawl anywhere in the room.
It's already been a year.
I don't know if it's a period that can't be called long, but in the meantime, there are a few things I realized about this world.
First of all, the seasons seem to be divided into four seasons like Korea, where I lived my first life.
It snows and warms up in winter, and it's hot in summer.
If it's a feature, the degree to which winter is colder?
I thought I was isolated when the entrance to the concubine was half-submerged in snow because of the heavy snow.
Did you see that the soldiers and ladies-in-waiting act as if they were used to it? I was immediately relieved that this was normal here.
And now, another cool autumn has arrived.
Considering the climate, it means that the kingdom of Ernesia, where I live, has a climate roughly equivalent to that of Central Europe.
Although I have never seen an accurate continental map of this place. The location was roughly guessed.
There are exceptions, but most of the worlds I've reincarnated into have been planets that are almost no different from Earth.
Of course, motherhood itself is already booming! There are also worlds that disappeared and had to live in colonies.
Perhaps this world itself is not very different from the planet itself.
What kind of useless talk is this.
The important thing is that it will be the first year since I was born.
okay! 1 year!
it's coming soon
What?
Kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk. Isn't it obvious
it's my birthday
Happy Birthday Hey Hey!
* * *
The conversation between my mother and nanny, like no other, made me realize that my birthday was approaching.
“Lady Lipana. Do you like this outfit or this one?”
“Ooh~ Which one is better? ah. How about this?”
My strangely excited mother and nanny continue to change and appreciate my clothes, and then take them off and put them on again.
hey?
Isn't that a doll that plays while changing clothes?
At first, I showed my service spirit and got along smoothly, but it is tiring because this is repeated.
Babies are creatures that get tired quickly.
Although my body is getting stronger day by day thanks to Hunwon Changsei Qigong.
My root is just a baby.
“Ahhh?”
In the end, because of the drowsiness pouring in, I unknowingly grimaced and rebelled.
I can't.
Let's pretend to sleep.
That's how I pretended to be asleep like a traveler who encountered a wild bear.
Won't you touch me when I'm sleeping?
By the way, it's not like he suddenly woke up to his son's coordination... Why are you making such a fuss?
Close your eyes, pretend to sleep, and listen to the conversation as usual.
“With this, the prince will also be officially recognized as a member of the royal family.”
uh? admit?
It was a story that I could understand why he was so excited after hearing what he was talking about.
Of course, the mortality rate of newborn babies is quite high.
Especially in a world like this, it is very common for babies under one year of age to suddenly die.
That is why the first year of birth has a special meaning for both the baby and the parents.
Even more so if you are a child of royal blood. Even if he is a prince in disguise, he cannot just pass by.
It is said that it is the law of the Ernesia royal family to hold a banquet to commemorate the birth and officially announce that the royal blood has been inherited.
That's me and I'm no exception.
Indeed... did that happen?
nod nod
Even though there is no right of succession and no followers, the meaning of acknowledging that the king directly inherited his own blood would not be light.
That's why, even if you are a prince with low blood, the first birthday to celebrate the first year is never passed by.
and the coming-of-age ceremony.
You can never get past this.
Even if the target is me, if someone insists on neglecting those two things, that in itself will be an insult to the royal blood.
Therefore, the host is directly managed by the Ministry of Home Affairs, and the king and other members of the royal family must attend.
Except for exhibitions, there are no exceptions.
It's probably meant to show off that the royal blood is strong and that this child is a member of them.
Originally, nobles are a race that lives in form and dies in form.
Especially when it comes to the royal family, no matter how lowly they are, they can never be neglected as long as they carry half of their blood.
Of course, it's just for show off.
Although I doubt how much of an effect it would have on me and my mother's situation.
I honestly don't think it makes any sense.
Still, mom seems happy about it.
Is it because it makes me feel a little bit recognized?
Seeing it like that made me feel a bit sad.
Well, it's not that I'm not happy because I don't think that anyone except my mom and nanny will take care of my birthday.
But it's my birthday.....
“Huh huh?”
yeah that might be ok
It just went well.
