Chapter 76

A few days later, Siervian prepared and headed to the Emperor’s palace.

In her hand was a magic bead containing the presentation of her plan she had done with Marco.

It was the result of many discussions at the Princess’s palace for the past few days.

‘Will they listen to it?’

The picture of the children appeared before her eyes, she couldn’t stand it.

Siervian knew better than anyone else the pain of being abandoned.

Even at this moment, a time when she was receiving lots of love.

‘It’s my responsibility.’

As someone who holds special knowledge and power, Siervian thought she should be held accountable.

For starters, she needs her father’s approval for something that will help.

When the time Marco happened to stop by at the Princess’s palace, he listened to her concerns and gave another plausible opinion.

‘Requesting like this makes me feel like another person…’

He asked the Princess to prepare some data presentation rather than to make a random request.

Marco was already motivated to set up a top and a welfare foundation.

“Your Highness the Princess is here, I greet thee. Shall I inform His Majesty?”

“Yes!”

The little kid came in with the magic bead in hand making the Chief Servant of the Imperial palace in wonder.

But once inside, those news will be delivered.

The Emperor had been receiving reports from Hex for a long time, but the young Lady of the Imperial palace was ordered to call in at any time.

“Siervy, come in.”

“Papa!”

“But wait for a short while, continue the report.”

Perhaps he was used to this, Hex briefly greeted the Imperial Princess and continued his report.

“So, the work concerning Count Mirccino was completed. The reason seemed to be due to the dissatisfaction with the Imperial family, unlike the previous generations.”

“Hmm.”

Hex seemed to be explaining about Count Mirccino sending Lara to the palace.

Siervian carefully rolled her eyes, pretending not to be interested.

[ Hex ]

Thoughts: But Count Mirccino resisted, risking his life like that. There must be something more, but it was leery.

Once reading Hex’s thoughts came to her shock.

‘The Count is dead!’

Maybe there was too much needed to be revealed in his interrogation.

The relations with the Empress, or the nobles surrounding them are trying to move onto the aristocratic faction.

“I see. Chancellor, dismissed.”

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

After Hex left, the Emperor naturally placed Siervian at the table full of refreshments.

The Chief Servant also brought a number of sweets and placed them in front of her, as if it was all natural reflexes.

There was a time when Siervian was so full coming into the Emperor’s palace, but nevertheless, whenever she comes, there’s always refreshments and snacks.

“Yes, what is it, Siervy?”

“Sebi has a favor to ask of papa!”

“A favor?”

Siervian rarely asked for anything, except for the Emperor’s floating magic. For that reason, the Emperor looked at his daughter with great curiosity.

“I will set up a welfare foundation!”

“Hm?”

What came out wasn’t so childish.

For his father, who was pondering about it, Siervian held out the magic bead.

Alderuan lifted the cute bead placed in her small hand into the air with a single gesture.

“Ho, it’s really a welfare foundation.”

“Yes! It’s real!”

Siervian’s eyes sparkled more than the bead, and the Emperor swallowed the troubles inwardly.

The children’s banquet hosted by the Crown Prince not long ago seemed to be on his mind.

The average nice guy wouldn’t compare to Siervian’s heart, but doing something like this is simply difficult.

“Siervy, listen well. We are all worried about the children, but establishing a foundation is not an easy task.”

The Emperor hid his nervousness a little, fearing that his daughter might shed tears upon hearing this.

Then Siervian shouted bravely.

“Sebi knows!”

Unable to resist her overwhelming enthusiasm, the Emperor read what’s inside the magic bead.

His curiosity was also the reason why he lit up the bead.

But to his surprise…

[ Alderuan Erveldote ]

Thoughts: Huh? The data presented is better than I thought. I see…I heard Viscount William’s young Lord has been visiting the Princess palace these days, perhaps they got help.

Siervian let out a sigh of relief seeing her father reading it.

It was a good thing they prepared data.

“The funds are borrowed from the Imperial palace, and in the future, the foundation will be maintained from the profits of the top.”

“Yes!”

“Do you think it would be maintained? You are only seven years old after all, Siervy.”

Alderuan looked at Siervian with his dark, cold eyes.

She covered herself up, thinking it would be suspicious for a child like her to run a foundation.

“Marco will be helping.”

“You mean the Viscount William’s young Lord? He looks like his father, and seems to have a talent in business.”

[ Alderuan Erveldote ]

Thoughts: No matter how intelligent Siervy is, this plan is so detailed to be made a cute child. The Viscount’s young Lord must be the one who completed this strategy. Was he an ambitious man? I’ll have to keep a close eye to see if he’s just using Siervy.

Now he fully understands that his seven-year-old daughter wants to establish the foundation.

In fact, the majority of the ideas were from Siervian’s, but she decided to ignore it.

However, she thought it would be best for Marco’s health if she would do things without any misunderstandings from now on.

‘Marco, I’m sorry.’

Alderuan continued to review the presentation and came to the list of items needed for the top.

The Emperor already knew that the Vuingpi trend was started by the both of them.

“Konoa flower herbs?”

“Yes!”

An unfamiliar thing caught his eye.

But Siervian got excited and began to explain.

“It’s a flower that looks like this! It smells good! Sebi loves it!”

Konoa was a flower that grew naturally in the northern forests.

It was a strange flower; after being dried and burned, it increases the concentration of mana around it.

“The flowers have such big petals like this, and it’s purple!”

Siervian raised her voice even more as her father concentrated on what it was. She didn’t realize she was stamping in excitement.

She drew an illustration of it on the napkin with sugar water.

[ Alderuan Erveldote ]

Thoughts: Erm, an earthworm? No, my daughter can’t be this bad at drawing. That should be a flower that resembles an earthworm.

It’s no worm!

Her portrait didn’t help one bit. She couldn’t figure out why her drawing kept looking like worms.

Siervian, who quickly covered it up, ended the explanation.

“And if you dry the flower and burn it, you will get mana!”

“Ah, you mean mana flowers.”

The Emperor always notices the people of the empire sometimes refer to the flowers used as herbs.

After finding mana in burned flowers, lots of research was done as a substitute for harmin tea.

However, the amount of mana that came out was too small to be efficient.

“Are you using the nature of the flower?”

“Yes, but that’s not the only use of it. It smells good, so we could sell it to the west as fragrant candles.

Even in her previous life, konoa fragrant candles have been a huge trend.

After speaking of this idea, it was Marco’s suggestion to export it.

“Marco said it would sell well! And Sebi can make it smell better!”

For some time, Siervian used to pick the fallen petals since it would be a waste.

After mixing dried flowers here and there, she thought of konoa scented herbs and came up with a good combination.

“Is that so? As expected of the Princess.”

She completely forgot about the worm-like drawing just a while ago as the Emperor praised her.

Now she couldn’t shake off the thought that she was some genius.

“Hehe.”

Siervian laughing shyly at the compliment, passionately explained again how good the scent of konoa was.

In her previous life, in the older part of her life, the konoa petals were used in various fields.

Although mana was insignificant, it was still used because it stimulates the sense of privilege of the nobility.

[ Alderuan Erveldote ]

Thoughts: Hm. Come to think of it, there are quite a few nobles who light scented candles in their children’s room, even though they know it’s no use. Just to increase mana exposure a bit.

‘That’s it!’

Konoa scented candles sell at a great rate, people will actually feel the mana surrounding even a little.

Later in her previous life, it was not enough to get it from the forest, so growing it in the farms would be necessary.

It was only exported out of the empire once it became popular.

This time, Siervian will be going a step ahead and sell it to the west.

“Well, the west has been susceptible to the empire’s trends for generations.”

That said, Siervian’s idea would sell handsomely mixed in with medicinal herbs.

The reason as to why is because it would be a comfort to those who suffered from endemic diseases.

As Marco heard about it, he gave Siervian a good idea.

“I understand. It was good to see what you had prepared.”

Siervian suddenly shifted her face as her father put down the magic bead.

She carefully examined the Emperor’s thoughts.

[ Alderuan Erveldote ]

Thoughts: Does Siervy behave like this all the time?

She opened her eyes wide when she saw that thought passed.

Has Siervian done something wrong?

“Siervy, this father has something to ask.”

“Yes…”

“How come you’re behaving like this?”

Siervian’s eyes shook violently at that question.

“Like this…?”

Has Siervian been too harsh on her father?

Is something on the data wrong?

All sorts crossed her mind.

But the Emperor added, looking deep into her eyes.

“It appears you’re using all of your allowance.”

“Yes…”

In establishing the foundation, she must receive great help from her father.

And for the time being, she will use that allowance money to maintain it.
