637 – A Mature Tree Is Different Starting From Its Cotyledons – 1

Among our children, there is one who particularly fell off.

Pedi is an exception because he is like the Crown Princess’ dedicated childhood friend. Until the Crown Princess comes to visit, she wanders around her mansion with Titi. When the Crown Princess comes, she even mobilizes her holy beasts and enjoys a majestic march like her little general. It is far from lonely.

It is difficult to say that Maria and Cecilia are lonely. Perhaps because they are twins born on the same day, they have no intention of being separated, and are busy looking for Jangsaeng, who is slowly starting to hide in every corner of the mansion like a sergeant in his later years.

Friedrich and Alina were not even able to crawl yet, so they spent time alone in bed, but after the Crown Princess’s suggestion, they started spending intimate time with each other. Even though it was her her brother her her, Friedrich unilaterally poked Alina.

Anyway, compared to Fedi, Maria, Cecilia, Friedrich, and Alina, who played in pairs, only one person was often alone.

“Aww…”

“Are you awake?”

Cattleya is the youngest of the triplets. She is a child who receives the Spirit King’s blessing so well that she sleeps more than other children.

Cattleya, who is still rubbing her eyes and yawning, is the only loner among the children in our mansion.

“Now, come to your father.”

“Ugh…”

Cattleya, still sleepy, walked towards me with a half-asleep face and fell into my arms.

Seeing that, she smiled softly and patted Cattle Leah on the back. She is cute when she smiles brightly, but she is also cute when she is asleep like this.

‘I need to hurry and digest all the blessings.’

I looked at Cattleya nuzzling her face against my chest and sighed deeply into her.

The expression that Katlea is a loner… Is honestly an exaggeration. As soon as Cattleya wakes up, her soul partners Maria and Cecilia play with her, and her older brother her her Fedi also takes good care of Cattleya.

However, sleeping alone while other children are playing is fatal for growing children. At first, Maria and Cecilia did not want to leave Catlea’s side while she was sleeping soundly, but recently they started acting independently when Catlea was sleeping.

‘It’s difficult.’

What will happen if this situation continues? What happens when only the two older sisters of the triplets become close friends, and Cattleya’s relationship becomes somewhat awkward?

Just thinking about it breaks her heart. Even though she is a triplet, she feels like crying when she imagines Cattle Leah being left alone, and the tip of her nose her wrinkles when she thinks of Cattle Leah pretending to sleep because she can’t get along with her older sisters her her her her. ﹥

This disaster must end only in imagination. If her imagination her her becomes reality, she might cry while holding Catlea in her arms her.

‘But it lasted about a year or two.’

She put her thoughts down as she placed Cattleya on the floor, struggling to stand on her own feet.

Fortunately, the Wind Spirit King said that Catlea’s nap would last about one to two years. If it lasted for 5 or 10 years, I would have grabbed the spirit kings by the collar and shouted at them to come up with a solution, but 2 years is a period that can be tolerated.

No matter how wise children are, they do not carry the memories of when they were 3 with them for the rest of their lives. No matter how active a child is, there are limits to what a 3-year-old’s body can do.

So if Cattleya were to shed her ‘characteristic: Sleeping Beauty’ from the age of three onwards, the splitting of her triplets would not occur. It will definitely happen.

“A-ppa. Dad-“

While I was trying to think positively, as soon as I put it down on the floor, Cattleya, who was running around the room, called to me.

“Why are you doing this, my…” “Daughter…” ?”

And as soon as she turned her gaze to Cattleya, her hair turned completely white.

“This. It’s shiny.”

Red and blue lights were sparkling around Catlea.

Just like a firefly.

‘What is that?’

Did we have something like that in our house…?

When a firefly appeared out of nowhere, I quickly called Trixie. Although it is unlikely, those fireflies may be a characteristic of elf children.

“What is that…?”

However, Trixie also muttered absently as she looked at the red and blue lights hovering around Catlea.

To be exact, green light and yellow light were added during Trixie’s arrival, and as many as four lights flew around Cattleya.

“Is this your first time seeing this?”

“Yeah, that’s right. This is my first time seeing something like this.”

In response to my question, Trixie muttered in a shaky voice.

Even Trixie, who was the only hope, did not understand this phenomenon. I thought to myself, ‘When an elf is a baby, fireflies come and become friends.’ I was hoping you would say that.

‘What is it really?’

With complicated emotions, I looked at Cattleya wriggling her hands toward the lights that never left near her.

Confusing. First of all, it doesn’t seem to be harmful to Cattleya, but you can’t leave unknown things around Cattleya.

‘Where did it come from?’

What’s even more complicated is that I wasn’t aware of the existence of those fireflies.

In its own way, it is the personal residence of the imperial family and the place where the minister stays. It is a home where precious wives and children live, and a playground where the Crown Princess also comes to play. As such, with the exception of the imperial palace, it maintains a defense that is worthy of envy.

But no one knew those things were in the mansion? Unless it occurred naturally in the mansion, it must have come from outside, but the guards missed it?

‘Is that possible?’

Even if the guards missed it, they would have been caught by the employees who were constantly wandering around this mansion. However, this firefly avoided the eyes of both the guards and the users.

I feel like my blood is drying up. It’s a shame that it was that seemingly insignificant light that escaped our eyes and ears, but what if it was a villain who infiltrated with bad intentions? What if our children encounter a villain while playing in the hallway or room?

‘Fuck.’

My teeth suddenly ground apart. First, we need to figure out the identity of those fireflies and thoroughly reorganize the mansion’s security route—

“Ah.”

Trixie’s low exclamation rang out.

“Carl. Don’t you think you’ve seen those lights somewhere?”

“Huh?”

At those words, I looked again at the firefly sitting on Cattleya’s head.

…

Ah.

“Ah.”

Something came to mind relatedly. I definitely remember seeing it.

‘It’s a spirit.’

On the day the triplets received the Spirit King’s blessing, the spirits leaned out from the World Tree as if to welcome Cattleya, who boasted tremendous affinity.

Among the countless spirits, the lower-level spirits took on a firefly-like appearance. The colors are red, blue, green, and yellow just like the spirit kings.

‘Why are the spirits here?’

First, the identity of the lights was confirmed. It looks similar to the spirits seen at the World Tree, and considering Catlea’s affinity for her, it is certain that it is a spirit.

However, the reason why the spirits were discovered in the mansion is unknown. Why are these guys supposed to be on the World Tree?

“Ab-ppa! Um-ma!”

I felt dizzy for a moment, but I didn’t worry for long.

Because Cattleya was smiling brightly with the spirits on her head, shoulders, and hands.

“Would you like to say hello to my maternal grandmother soon?”

“Yes. I guess so.”

Trixie and I both smiled at that lovely appearance.

The spirits will not harm Catlea, who has received the Spirit King’s blessing. I wonder how the guys from the World Tree happened to be in the mansion, but you can just ask the Spirit Kings directly.

“…Does it seem like it’s increased since before?”

“Obviously there were four of us earlier…”

And in the meantime, the number of spirits attached to Cattleya doubled.

Wherever you are, you keep coming back.

Cattleya, who became a moving spirit stand, became the mansion’s superstar.

“Twinkle! It’s amazing!”

In particular, the Crown Princess showed a deep interest in Cattleya and the spirit of her, to the point of coming down from her her her her Injeolmi

Actually, if it were me, I would have paid attention. Colorful fireflies were observed not in the countryside or in the forest, but in the middle of a mansion. How can I put up with this? Even more so if those fireflies are attached to the elf’s body.

“Twinkle twinkle!”

“It’s fascinating.”

Of course, Maria and Cecilia also showed interest in the spirits.

‘It’s exquisite.’

Triplets and the Crown Princess. Only children who have been blessed by the spirit kings show deep interest in the spirits. It is truly exquisite.

“Me too! You want me to touch it!?”

Anyway, the Crown Princess, who was looking intently at the spirits, gave Catlea a heart-throbbing look.

It’s amazing. It’s not like you’re going to touch it without permission, but you’re asking for Katlea’s permission first. As expected, the Crown Princess is a child born with a good nature.

“Ugh. Joe.”

Cattleya readily nodded her head at her kind and polite request. From the beginning, the Crown Princess considered Cattleya her younger sister and liked her, so she had no reason for Cattleya to reject her.

“Hey… They’re avoiding me…”

However, apart from Cattleya’s permission her her her her her her her her her her her her her her her her her her her avoided the hands of the Crown Princess.

It’s a familiar sight. During the second grade field trip, the fairies that avoided people’s hands looked exactly like that. The spirits don’t seem to be particularly welcoming to people.

“Time! Time!”

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

“I love touching them too!”

The sight of the princess flapping her arms wildly made her laugh.

“Your Majesty. The spirits are still avoiding you because they are embarrassed. If you treat them like you treat your younger siblings, they will come to you someday.”

“Ji, Jinjjyang?”

“Of course. Have I ever lied to you?”

Then the Crown Princess looked at her spirits with her sparkling eyes. Fortunately, I think he was convinced by my words and moved on.

‘I’ll be able to touch it over time.’

Spirits, like fairies, are family members and close friends of elves. It is natural to be reluctant to accept the hand of the Crown Princess, who is a pure human, but the Crown Princess is someone who has received the blessings of the Spirit King of Wind. Even if they avoid humans now, someday the spirits will show interest in the princess who received the king’s blessing.

This is not just a guess, it is a certainty. Among the spirits floating around Katlea, green-colored spirits like the Wind Spirit King are floating in a place very close to the Crown Princess.

“Stupid! They eat small bites too!?”

“No, I don’t eat it.”

“Hey…”

However, it will likely take some time for the Crown Princess to become friends with her spirits.

She said to treat the spirits like her younger siblings, she didn’t mean to treat them like people.
