The Young Lady Tames the Main Leads

Chapter 150

Startled, I turned to the side.

“Jake? What…… Oh, cream?”

Then Jake proudly showed me some of the cream on his index finger.

It was only later that I realized that there was something similar on my lips, and my face turned red.

“No, why didn’t you tell me…….”

“I’m sorry I couldn’t tell you. I did it because I wanted to clean it.”

Jake laughed bashfully.

The other children who saw the two of us were startled and started to check if there was something on their lips as well.

“Whew. More than that, Jake, here’s a napkin. Come on, wipe.”

I handed Jake the napkin I was going to give to the other kids.

Then Jake made a sound as if he was thinking about something without willingly accepting it.

“Well…….”

“What’s the matter?”

As I tilted my head curiously, Jake put the cream from his hand on his lips and smiled mischievously.

“Clean me too. Here.”

“…… !”

I paused for a moment.

Isn’t that the cream that I ate? But then, thinking that there was nothing I could do, I stretched out my hand.

“Okay, I cleaned it. This cream is no more.”

I said resolutely and wipe the cream with my napkin.

Nicholas, who was watching the scene from the other side, said.

“You two seem to get along well because you two are unicorns.”

Well, Jake and I get along a bit.

But what is the expression on his sad face?

“…… I thought I’d put cream on me too.”

Huh? I think Nicholas just mumbled something with a gloomy expression on his face. Is it just my feeling?

As I tilted my head, Cedric opened his mouth.

“If I put a lot of cake cream on my face, will you wipe it off too?”

“Don’t play with food.”

But I cut it sharply. I don’t know if it’s just an accident, but if it’s intentional, I can’t forgive it.

“Tsk.”

Cedric turned his head away with a somewhat sulky expression.

After a while, after having a full meal, we went out after looking around the well-decorated party hall.

“It’s best to walk to digest.”

Because it was summer, the roses were blooming beautifully.

The imperial garden was spacious and time flew by just by walking around.

In the middle of the garden, we sat on a bench in a small shelter overlooking the fountain.

“Today was a really fun birthday party.”

“That’s right, brother.”

The two imperial brother-and sister were talking to each other.

I got a little curious, and abruptly intervened in their conversation.

“Have you two held a birthday banquet before?”

“That’s right.”

Ninaina nodded her head.

“But it wasn’t fun before. We invited a bunch of nobles we didn’t know, and we just sat in the chair.”

After all, it is common for the imperial family birthday banquets to be held like ordinary banquets.

“There will be a banquet like this again, but I think my brother and I had a real birthday party today.”

Ninaina looked up at the clear sky in a dreamy voice.

Then she spoke in a slightly depressed voice, as if she remembered last year.

“Actually, that’s why I wanted close friends.”

“Ah…….”

I remembered the reason I went to kindergarten for the first time in a long time.

Obviously the Imperial Kindergarten was created at the will of Ninaina, who wanted close friends, but did not meet the requirements for early admission to the academy.

“But it’s good now.”

“…… ?”

“You are here. You are my friend now. Above all, Emir, I’m glad to have met a smart and lovely child like you.”

Ninaina’s soft hand grabbed my hand and waved it happily.

“I want to keep going to kindergarten until I become an adult.”

“Your Majesty, that……”

When I hesitated, Ninaina responded with a smirk as if it was a joke.

“I know I can’t.”

Then she smiled brightly.

“I’m just saying how good it is now.”

“Me too, Your Highness.”

Nicholas, who had been quietly listening to our conversation, nodded his head as I spoke.

“Me too.”

“Me too!”

“Me too.”

“Me too.”

All of a sudden, other children interrupted and shouted, ‘Me too! Me too!’.

I liked the commotion, and it tickled me.

“Now, let’s enjoy the party.”

Nicholas said as if he had just remembered something.

“Here, Your Highness?”

“Yes. Before you come, I have told the attendants to prepare something.”

What is it?

I wondered.

It was even more so because Nicholas had a voice full of anticipation.

“It’s a treasure hunt.”

Ninaina suddenly intervened and told the correct answer.

Then Nicholas put on a disappointed expression.

“Ninaina. I was going to tell them.”

“Brother kept delaying it.”

Boooo, and Ninaina hid behind me.

Nicholas smiled absurdly and continued explaining.

“I have hidden treasures in silk bags all over this garden. I will present all the treasures to the person who finds the most pockets within 30 minutes.”

“Wow! Treasure!”

I cheered happily.

Treasure hunt with ‘real treasure’! My heart was pounding.

The other children, of course, also showed interesting expressions.

We rolled our feet as if we were leaving to find the treasure at any moment.

“Okay, let’s start now.”

As soon as Nicholas finished speaking, our treasure hunt began.
