Royal Secret: I'm A Princess!

670 CRAZY PROPHECY

[“GO AND report to Aunt Brigitte and Uncle Glenn about Skylus’ current situation. I would love to do it, but my “children” locked me up in the room. They won’t even let me touch a communication device to send a message to Hazelden.”]

That was the message that Trevor received from Princess Neoma after he ran away from her out of guilt.

Of course, his Moon Princess was just exaggerating.

Lewis and the others just wanted Princess Neoma to sleep.

[My Moon Princess has always been a hard worker. But she has become a workaholic now. I wonder if she still remembers her dream to become a lady of leisure.]

“Lord Trevor, we can talk here safely.”

It was Queen Brigitte.

Right, Trevor was currently in the queen’s office.

[Yeah, I went to Hazelden to deliver the news personally since if I didn’t, I’m sure Princess Neoma would come here herself as soon as she woke up.]

…..

Hazelden Kingdom’s security was tight at the moment.

But Trevor was able to come directly inside the palace because he was a genius.

[Plain and simple.]

“Princess Neoma sent you here to deliver news, didn’t she?”

Queen Brigitte was sitting behind the desk, while King Glenn was standing behind the queen with his trembling hands on her trembling shoulders.

Aigoo.

The queen and king also both looked pale and nervous.

Trevor tilted her head to one side. “Do you already know I’m here to deliver bad news?”

At his words, it looked like the queen and king were about to faint from too much anxiety.

[Ah, I chose the wrong words.]

“What happened, Lord Trevor?” King Glenn asked “calmly,” but the emotions in his eyes were chaotic. “Is it related to Skylus?”

Trevor nodded, making the royal couple worry even more. “The Darkness has began moving once again.”

The royal couple looked confused by the sudden change in discussion.

“Whenever the Darkness moves in a direction that may harm the world, the holy representatives of the gods who fought the Absolute Darkness during the Ancient Period would receive a Revelation,” Trevor explained. This time, the queen and king looked like they finally understood what he was trying to say at the moment. “Prince Skylus is the true saint chosen by Lord Yule, the Moon God. But as of right now, Prince Skylus is only a “half-saint.” He couldn’t receive the Revelation because he doesn’t have his complete divine power. Hence, the small amount of divine power he has tried to leave his body in order to find a more suitable host.”

“How is our son now?” Queen Brigitte asked worriedly. “Please tell me the truth.”

“That’s the good news, Your Majesty,” Trevor said, grinning. “Princess Neoma deeply cares about the new saint. She gave back a portion of Prince Skylus’ divine power. Before I left the empire, Lord Manu, Miss Dahlia, and the damned Chef Ruto were all working hard to stabilize Prince Skylus’ divine power.”

The royal couple looked relieved.

It was as if the queen and king could only breathe properly now.

“Lord Trevor, was our son… in too much pain?”

“Yeah, he was crying really loudly,” Trevor said casually. “Princess Neoma had to put a soundproof barrier around the room.”

Queen Brigitte abruptly stood up while holding her baby bump. “My baby cried because he was in too much pain?”

“Prince Skylus was already fine before I left.”

That didn’t help at all.

Queen Brigitte and King Glenn still looked like they wanted to leave Hazelden in order to be with Prince Skylus.

[Should I have been… less honest?]

His thoughts were interrupted when they heard a knock on the door.

He already knew who it was, though.

“Mother, Father, Lord Trevor, may I come in?”

It was Princess Monik, and her voice sounded urgent.

When the door opened and the young princess entered the room, the adults were surprised to see Princess Monik’s pink eyes glowing.

[A vision, perhaps?]

“Lord Trevor, please tell Neoma unnie to be careful once she’s headed to the hometown of the Fourth Elemental Guardian,” Princess Monik said in a serious tone. “Unnie is going to meet another crazy bastard there.”

Queen Brigitte and King Glenn flinched when they heard their daughter curse.

But the young princess wasn’t done talking yet.

“That crazy bastard loves Neoma unnie,” Princess Monik said, frowning. “To death.”

“What the hell?” Trevor complained. “I’m the one who loves Princess Neoma to death, though?”

THREE HOURS?

Neoma clicked her tongue when she realized she fell asleep for that long.

[Gosh, look at the sun.]

Hence, instead of taking a long shower as she would usually do, she just took a quick bath. To save time, she wore the simplest dress that she had.

[I’d look good in anything anyway.]

“Princess Neoma, you’re already awake?”

“What do you mean by “already,” Paige?” Neoma asked back, smiling and shaking her head. “I’m actually ashamed for sleeping for three hours. I can’t believe I slept for that long when I said I’d just take a nap.”

Lewis looked at her as if he was displeased. “Three hours isn’t that long of a sleep, Princess Neoma. Nobody would complain here even if you slept for thirty hours.”

She thought her “son” was just exaggerating.

But Lewis, Paige, Greko, and Hanna all remained serious.

[What the hell? How could I sleep for thirty hours when there are many things for me to do? These children worry too much about me when I’m fine.]

It was touching, but embarrassing to have people younger than her worry about her.

[My soul is already over sixty years old.]

“I’m not overexerting myself, so calm down, everyone,” Neoma assured her people, then she sat on the sofa. “Report.”

“Mother and Father already returned to our estate to prepare a war against House Drayton,” Hanna said, smiling brightly. “That’s why I’m planning to return as well to help them plan our grand revenge.”

“Go ahead,” she said while nodding encouragingly. “You should spend time with your parents, Hanna.”

“Thank you, Neoma.”

She just smiled, then she turned to Lewis since he was the commander of her dream team.

[Although Lewis is bad at reporting verbally, he’s still the commander so I should ask him first. I need to show him the respect that he deserves, so his “siblings” would do the same.]

“Xion called,” Lewis said indifferently. “He said Jasper Hawthorne cried.”

Neoma waited, but Lewis didn’t say anything more. “Jasper oppa cried? Who’s the fucker who made my oppa cry?”

“Duke Hawthorne didn’t really cry, Princess Neoma,” Paige said. “Xion said Duke Hawthorne LOOKED like he was about to cry because of the frustrating situation that they encountered in Duckie’s hometown.”

“I see,” she said, frowning.

She was still upset that the situation made Jasper oppa almost cry. Moreover, she felt bad because she was the one who sent her oppa there. It was the duck’s request, and Jasper oppa agreed, but she was still the person who had the final say.

[Which means I’m responsible for all of this.]

“Princess Neoma, Duke Hawthorne said your presence is required to deal with the current situation,” Paige added carefully. “He also said it would be better if you bring Lord Ruto and Miss Dahlia with you.”

“Ah, so it’s something that the Elemental Guardian “owners” must do,” Neoma said, then she let out a sigh. “But Ruto and Dahlia must already be tired from helping Lord Manu stabilize Skylus’ divine power. Maybe it should be better if I go alone–”

“Neoma.

“Princess Neoma.”

It was Hanna who called her by her name, and her “children” who called her by her title.

Although they called her in two different ways, they all used a scolding tone when calling her name. ．𝗻𝐞𝘁

“Gosh,” Neoma complained. “Why am I being scolded for doing my job?”

“Eomma, you said you wanted to become a lady of leisure,” Greko scolded her. “But do you know what you’ve become? A workaholic.”

Neoma smiled broadly and gently pinched Greko’s chubby cheeks. “Aw, is my baby boy upset? And where did you learn the word ‘workaholic?’”

…..

“From Trevor hyung,” Greko answered, pouting. “Eomma, stop treating me like a baby. I’m a big boy now.”

“Pfft,” she said, rubbing Greko’s face with her hands. “You will always be a baby in my eyes, Greko.”

After all, she may or may not live for more than five years.

[Let’s not think about negative things for now.]

“Neoma, the more you act like this, the more your “children” can’t leave you alone,” Hanna scolded her gently. “We know that you’re the strongest person here. But that doesn’t mean you should do everything. You can share the burden with us.”

Lewis nodded eagerly in agreement. “We will make you a true lady of leisure, Princess Neoma.”

Paige smiled and nodded. “Princess Neoma, should we set a meeting with Lord Ruto and Miss Dahlia once they’re done assisting the Moon Priest?”

Neoma could only sigh and nod. “Alright, let’s work together.”
