Civil Servant in a Romance Fantasy - Chapter 604
604 – The Next Master Is Coming – 3
The wall of social status is high and high. If the difference in status between two people is large, they cannot be said to be equal, and a situation arises where the one with a higher status unilaterally overpowers the one with a lower status. It is natural in a caste-based society.
However, even if the status is not completely the same, if the status is somewhat similar, a new variable arises.
Age is a powerful variable.
‘I couldn’t treat Trixie carelessly under any circumstances.’
Emperor—one of the Ming soldiers and five dukes who took hold of the failing empire and ushered in its second heyday. If you were to ask which of the two is higher, you would definitely choose the former.
But what if the latter duke has lived for over a hundred years? What if the emperor who ushered in the second heyday reigned as a duke even before he ascended the throne or even before he was born?
If you are the oldest duke who has served several emperors and is respected by other dukes, you cannot treat him carelessly, no matter how powerful the emperor is. Even commoners are respected if they live a long life, and this goes without saying if it is a duke.
Therefore, age is a very important factor and variable in human relationships. If the age difference is overwhelming, some gaps can be easily bridged.
“Wow! It’s pretty! It’s amazing!”
And it was the same for the Crown Princess.
The Crown Princess, who had fallen asleep with Pedi, opened her eyes as if she had recovered her stamina in the meantime, and as soon as she noticed Trixie’s long hair that was nearby her, she rushed over with her eyes sparkling .
Of course, treating Majonggong comfortably and fiddling with Trixie’s hair like a toy are impossible actions even under the circumstances and the emperor. However, like Trixie, who reigns as the oldest, the Crown Princess reigns as the youngest. Even if the same behavior is done by a child, there is an implicit atmosphere of looking at it.
Thanks to this, the Crown Princess can laugh and play on her Trixie’s hair. Because she is still a child.
“Do you like it?”
“Wow!”
Trixie also looked on with a happy smile as the little child played with her hair.
Coincidentally, the Crown Princess’s hair is silver. Her white hair is similar to that of the triplets that Trixie gave birth to, so she may be looking at her own children.
“Smell! Smell!”
“Hehe, I’m glad.”
Clean white hair without a speck of dust, hair that exudes only a cozy scent, not even a smell, even though it is dragged across the floor.
From the Crown Princess’s perspective, she must feel like seeing a new world and discovering a new toy. It’s natural for her to be like that.
“Hehe.”
The Crown Princess flailed wildly over her Trixie’s hair, covering some of her hair like a blanket.
“Well, Your Highness. The duke will be uncomfortable.”
The maid, who was watching her with a restless face, hurriedly squatted down in front of the princess and begged her.
Her chief maid cannot lift the heavenly crown princess without permission, and even if she could, she is the crown princess with Trixie’s hair wrapped around her. If she touches it wrong, there’s a chance her Trixie’s hair will rip off too.
“This work is good. My children often play with my hair, so what can’t be done for the Crown Princess?”
Trixie gently shook her head towards the maid.
As Trixie said, Trixie’s hair has long since become a public property for our children. When Peddie gets tired from wandering around her mansion, she uses Trixie’s hair as a blanket to rest, and the triplets, who have started crawling, often lie on Trixie’s head rather than on the bed.
Even Friedrich is looking at her hair with bright eyes every time he sees Trixie. It’s almost like waving catnip in front of a cat.
“Aww?”
“Byaaa…”
“Bye!”
Even now, the triplets are sitting on the floor, wrapping Trixie’s hair around them or putting them in their mouths.
So, adding a crown princess is not a problem. Moreover, the Crown Princess is not a complete stranger and she is my goddaughter.
“Ugh?”
“Come here too, Pedi.”
Eventually, Pedi also opened her eyes, and five children laid their bodies on Trixie’s head.
Needless to say, the maid opened her mouth in bewilderment at this precious sight that could not be seen anywhere else.
“It’s so bad!” I live here too!”
For a long time, the Crown Princess was stroking Trixie’s head her, Pedi’s cheeks her, and her triplets’ her hands, flailing her arms and whining.
I admit it. Honestly, from my perspective, this mansion is the perfect environment for a child to play. Worried that Pedi might disapprove of her, she laid out a mat in the hallway, where talking animals can play and play with her hair, which is like no other on the continent.
And although the Crown Princess ‘attention she is still focused on her head and she does not seem to notice, there are also four elves staying in the xenophobia reserve alone. It’s almost a fantasy land, Crasius Land.
“Please come and visit us anytime. We will welcome you anytime.”
“Acquaintance – Ta?”
“Of course.”
I smiled secretly as I saw the Crown Princess laughing brightly at my words
The reason the Emperor allowed the Crown Princess to go out was because I was under the special circumstances of being her newlywed. Otherwise, the emperor would never have sent his daughter out of the palace.
But the Crown Princess, who heard my permission her, is begging me to go to her godfather’s house again next time? From the emperor’s perspective, it must have felt like the sky was falling.
‘What do you know?’
But that’s not something I need to consider. Isn’t it the father’s role to appease his daughter’s stubbornness, not the godfather’s role?
Therefore, out of consideration for the emperor, ‘you must not come.’ There is no need to say that. It is right for the emperor to receive her even if he is hated by the Crown Princess, and it is right for the emperor to receive her even if he is resented by her. Because that is the father’s role.

“Next time too! I’ll bring some chocolate for you!”
“Haha, I look forward to it.”
I was also happy to see the Crown Princess who was truly happy.
The emperor’s reaction was immediate.
– Minister. What on earth did you say to the Crown Princess?
The emperor contacted me with a bitter and resentful face.
When I saw that, I felt proud. The princess was as angry with the emperor as I expected.
“Your Majesty enjoyed playing at Sosin’s mansion, so your Majesty told you to come whenever you want.”
– No, why do you say that?
“Your Majesty is the one who will become the master of the empire in the future. Is there any reason why you cannot come to the mansion of your godfather, who is just a subject?”
It wasn’t exactly a wrong thing to say, but the emperor silently closed his mouth.
There is no place that the next ruler of the empire cannot go to. It is not unusual for a goddaughter to visit her godfather’s mansion. No matter how much the emperor is a magician of the mouth, he cannot refute those two points.
– Even if the minister comes to the imperial palace, there won’t be much difference, but I don’t understand why the princess likes the minister’s mansion.
“Doesn’t Sosin have a child of a similar age to Your Majesty? I was worried that they might fall and get hurt, so I laid out a soft mat in the hallway. It’s colorful, so I guess they liked it.”
Then the emperor, who had barely opened his mouth, closed his mouth again. Since my mansion is a private residence, I was able to achieve the madness of wallpapering the hallways with mats, but unfortunately, that is not possible for the emperor.
The imperial palace is a place visited by high-ranking officials and nobles leading the empire, as well as envoys from other countries to discuss important matters. There is a serious problem with the authority of the imperial family to plaster such a place with cute and colorful mats.
Crucially, the imperial palace is incomparably larger than my mansion, and the gaps between buildings are wide. If all of that space is covered with mats, it will be quicker to build a new building for the Crown Princess.
– Should I create a new villa…”
The emperor seemed to have reached the same conclusion as me, sighing and muttering.
– …The Crown Princess will visit often from now on. She trusts my minister and sends her away, so she can play with the princess as much as she wants.
“Yes?”
Eventually, a rebuttal came out at the unexpected declaration of surrender.
It is a natural future that the emperor will not be able to overcome his princess and will give in. There is no parent in this world who can beat their child, and this is no different even if they are an emperor. The timing of surrender was the question, but the surrender itself was as good as confirmed.
But I didn’t know that I would kneel down that day. What kind of emperor loses in less than 24 hours?
‘Weak guy.’
I’m embarrassed. Asking children too much is not good for their education. You are not worthy to be called the father of Kpelopen.
– I was able to appease Jim for quite a few reasons, but I couldn’t help but want to see Lord Majong’s hair again.
‘Ah.’
I was convinced by what followed.
If you’re definitely possessed by Trixie’s head, there’s no answer. Where do you get it and how do you follow it?
-The Crown Princess even asked her Empress if she could grow her hair down to her bottom.
“…”
– Don’t you have anything to say?
“I’m sorry.”
I bowed my head obediently in response to the emperor’s stinging gaze.
I released poison into the imperial palace.

“Ttaboo! Pedi! I’m coming!”
The Crown Princess visited her mansion again today.
A bright smile, bright eyes, and a clear voice. It’s a lovely sight that will make you smile just by looking at it.
“Lord Majon! Hello!”
“Yes, Your Majesty. Welcome.”
I bowed my head slightly in response to the greeting of the Crown Princess who ran towards me.
Cute. I can’t believe I said the word ‘Majonggong’ with my pronunciation still slurred. If our children grow up just a little bit, will they be like that?
‘I hope you grow up as innocently as you are now.’
I prayed inwardly as I saw the Crown Princess staring at my hair. Please let this child grow up innocently.
The deceased second prince, Dorgos, was once just a bright child. However, what happened to her as she grew up made her change strangely, and she was worried that the revived empire would stumble again when the second prince ascended the throne.
‘…If you resemble His Majesty the Emperor, you will grow up just fine.’
She handed the tip of her hair to her daughter and tried to push away her negative thoughts.
Yes, the Crown Princess will grow up fine. Aren’t His Majesty, His Majesty the Emperor, and the Marquis of Idrafen all fine? Since Dorgos is strange, her daughter will also grow up normally.
What if, just what if, it seems like the Crown Princess will go astray like her her her her second prince her her her ─
‘We must govern it strictly.’
For Karl’s goddaughter to grow up to be a proper child.
For the imperial family and empire that my children must serve.
