609 – Your King Will Watch – 3

The Crown Princess was very upset when she received a gift and a pat instead of the gift she expected. It is difficult for a young crown princess to understand the dignity of the Spirit King and the value of blessings.

– How do you feel?

“Joah! Chaego!”

However, thanks to the quick response of the Wind Spirit King, the sulky Crown Princess was able to smile quickly.

The Spirit King of Wind. A being that embodies the element called wind and one who controls the wind. This means that at least one person can be launched into the air.

Therefore, when the Spirit King of Wind swung her front paw, the Crown Princess floated into the air with her float, and she has been flying in the sky for over 5 minutes already. It’s a safe game that can’t be compared to Eri’s dragon burning.

– Hehe, it’s a satisfying gift, right?

“Ugh…!”

The Crown Princess, who was about to nod her head with a wide smile, rolled her eyes back and forth for a moment.

“No! It’s not good!”

– Oh, really?

It was a negative answer, but both I and the Wind Spirit King just smiled. The Crown Princess’ face was full of smiles when she said it wasn’t good.

“You have to fly more! That’s how you do it!”

-I can’t help it. I have to work harder.

When she succeeded, the Crown Princess laughed and flapped her arms.

She was a little impressed. She hides her feelings for a while to get what she wants. Isn’t she truly a child born with the qualities of a monarch?

“Human, fly!”

“How? How?”

“Magic? Is it magic?”

“Ugh?”

As the Crown Princess began to fly again, the fairies near the World Tree approached her. It seems that people are interested in seeing humans floating in the sky instead of fairies.

“Wind! Wind!”

“Wind Lady’s energy exists in humans!”

“Then, the lady’s friend?”

“Ajumma’s friend, our friend!”

Then they spoke among themselves and closed to her daughter’s hair or her clothes.

“Let’s play! Let’s play!”

“Flying! It’s fun!”

“Jo-ah!”

Despite the sudden contact, the Crown Princess smiled brightly.

Needless to say, it became noisy when children met children.

“…If you ask me to fly in the imperial palace, I don’t know what to do.”

The head maid, looking at the scene, muttered bitterly.

The maid’s concerns are completely understandable. The Crown Princess likes her, so she can’t help but be afraid of the future if she neglects her. If she wants to fly even in the imperial palace, there is nothing she can do.

“Aren’t you the kind of person who gives up even chocolate to his younger brother? No matter how much he wants to fly, he will hold back.”

I tried my best to comfort the head maid. Even though she is a princess and has desires, she is not a child who cannot resist those desires.

In fact, aren’t chocolates distributed to pedis, with a strictly limited daily intake? This is a feat that a child without self-control cannot achieve.

“Wow! Wow!”

– Kkeui Iik…

‘Ah.’

In the meantime, the Spirit King of the Earth, who was still being held in the hands of the Crown Princess, let out a sigh and faded away.

Still, I’m glad I wasn’t summoned back. How shameful and grievous it would be if, following the fairies, they were reverse summoned by a human child.

“Over there.”

– Speak, benefactor.

“Is it okay to leave him alone?”

At my words, the Spirit King of Wind also looked at the Spirit King of Earth, who was becoming increasingly faint.

– Even though they look like that, they are the strongest among us. The earth is the mother on which all people step, take root, and contain countless resources. The mischievous pranks of fairies are no different from sticking wooden sticks into the ground.

“I see.”

Honestly, I don’t know, but if an expert says it’s okay, it’s probably okay.

Let’s just say so.

When the touching family reunion was over, the spirit kings also entered the maternal grandmother’s house.

– No matter how many times I see it, it’s still cute.

And as soon as the Fire Spirit King saw the triplet, he murmured with satisfaction.

Whether human or spirit, the aesthetic standards are the same. In that case, no matter how much the Spirit King is, he won’t be able to withstand the loveliness of our children.

– It is rare for triplets to come out of an elf’s body. That miraculous thing happened after the World Tree was resurrected. They can truly be said to be children born with the grace of the world.

The Wind Spirit King, who sat down for fear of surprising the children, also bowed his head and poured out praise.

That is correct. In the elf race, where children are precious, twins—and not just twins, but triplets—were born. At that time, it was right after the World Tree was resurrected, so from the elves and spirits’ point of view, they could think of it as a child loved by the gods and the world.

-Hmm.

– Why are you doing that?

– These kids seem strangely used to us.

I laughed at the words of the Water Spirit King.

A talking hawk, a talking turtle, a talking tiger, and a snake that talks and tears around. It is a composition that can be surprising to children as well as ordinary adults, but unfortunately, similar things already exist in our mansion. Children are not surprised to see the Spirit Kings now.

Of course, even children are looking at the Fire Spirit King whose entire body is covered in flames with amazement, but—

“Oops. Don’t touch it.”

“Aboo…”

Every time I extended my hand, I resolutely blocked the approach.

“If you touch something like that, it’s hot and you have to cry. Okay?”

“Aww!”

As he held Maria in his arms as she nodded, the Fire Spirit King opened her beak as if he was disappointed.

– Doesn’t my benefactor know that even when children touch me, nothing happens? The temperature can be adjusted to any degree.

“I know that, but we can’t instill in young children the awareness that it’s okay to touch fire.”

– That’s right…

The Fire Spirit King nodded his head sorrowfully at my words.

I’m a little sorry, but I really can’t help it. If the triplets recklessly touch the Spirit King of Fire and come to think that ‘fire = something that is okay to touch’, there is no disaster worse than that. Because adults may become interested in fire while paying attention for a moment.

– I have to turn off the lights or something.

– Well, without fire, doesn’t it look similar to raw chicken?

-Raw chicken. Is that really the case even if I compare it?

Before I knew it, I was watching the Fire Spirit King and the Water Spirit King bickering among themselves, and I was also holding the other children in my arms.

I was holding Maria the whole time, so she was staring at me intently. Since she can’t make her daughters sad, it’s right for her to embrace them all.

– Let’s stop talking and give blessings first. Children get anxious when they come to an unfamiliar environment, so wouldn’t they get tired if they keep walking around in front of them?

-Hmm.

– That’s true too. Let’s finish it quickly.

– Yes… Actually, I’m tired too…

At the words of the Spirit King of Wind, who seemed to be the only one with a conscience position among the Spirit Kings, other Spirit Kings also approached the children.

Then each of them muttered in a quiet voice. I muttered words of hope for the children’s future, their health, and their success.

Soon, a red and warm energy like a flame enveloped the children. A cool, blue energy like water caressed the children. The green, fresh energy of grass tickled the children. A strong energy as yellow as the ground supported the children.

“Aww?”

“Bow!”

“Bye!”

The triplets waved his hand with curious eyes as colorful energy swirled around them. As if he wanted to touch those energies.

As if responding to that curiosity, the colorful energies passed through the children’s hands and were absorbed into their bodies.

“Ah… The blessings of kings…”

My maternal grandmother was so happy that she even shed tears at the mysterious and magnificent sight.

The person who knows the meaning of blessings better than anyone else here would be my maternal grandmother.

– It’s over.

I looked at every inch of the triplets’ bodies at the quiet declaration of closure.

And the kids just burst out laughing as if they were tickled by my search, but didn’t see anything unusual.

‘Thank goodness.’

It is the blessing of your king. Even if you only receive one, you are in a situation where you are receiving four undeserved blessings at the same time. It is not strange if something unusual changes.

– I know what you’re worried about. Even good medicine can distort your body if you take it in excess.

The Fire Spirit King, who was sitting on my head with his wings flapping, spoke calmly.

– However, our blessings do not stop with putting excessive contents into the vessel called the body. Changing those children’s dishes so they can hold anything is also our blessing.

“Anything…”

– Yeah, anything. Those children will receive the protection of the four elements that make up the world and become vessels that contain the world.

Hearing those confident words, I once again felt that the triplets had received an enormous blessing.

“I thank you on behalf of my father.”

-What. We all do it because we like it.

After saying that, the Fire Spirit King flew away again and sat on his maternal grandmother’s shoulder.

– So stop crying too. Elves who received the king’s blessing weren’t common, but they didn’t exist either.

“Yes, yes… I understand.”

Trixie quietly approached her grandmother as she continued to wipe her eyes.

Since she is not crying because she is sad but because she is moved, her only granddaughter will be able to soothe her quickly. Let’s not worry too much.

– Come to think of it, I didn’t say something important.

I heard the voice of the Water Spirit King and lowered my gaze to the floor.

– From now on, those children won’t have to worry about getting sick. Unless they intentionally run to an infectious disease outbreak, no disease can attack those children.

What.

-And that goes for the human emperor’s daughter as well. If those children get sick, please know that it is not a human illness but a curse from God.

“…Thank you again. I have truly been blessed beyond measure.”

– What I will say is the same as that of the Spirit King of Fire. We did it because we liked it.

With those words, the Water Spirit King crawled away.

That cute back looked like the back of a real man today.

“Wooow…”

“Our Catlea, are you sleepy?”

“Ah…”

Not long after, I smiled when I heard whining coming from my arms.

Cattleya yawns slightly and opens her eyes hazily. Anyone could see that he was drowsy, so I quietly laid him down on the bed.

…

‘Why is Cattleya like this?’

Something is strange. Maria and Cecilia, who played equally and received the same blessings, are fine, but why is only Cattleya dozing off?

“Spirit King of Water!”

– Huh?

At my call, the Water Spirit King, who was about to pass the door, turned his head.

“Are there any side effects to blessings?”

-There is no such thing. How dare we use the word “Blessing” If there are side effects.

“But Cattleya looked sleepy after receiving the blessing…”

-What.

Then, the Water Spirit King ran at a speed never seen before, and the Spirit Kings near the elder also quickly ran to Cattleya.

– Really. I’m the only one dozing off.

– Oh my god. Is this really happening?

– It’s hard to believe it even when you see it in person…

The atmosphere cooled for a moment due to the kings’ whispers.

What. What on earth is going on? Even my true maternal grandmother is crying again.

– …The blessing worked really well.

“Yes?”

What does that mean?
