Who Made Me a Princess
Chapter 31: 31

Gasp gasp, sick. So very sick! Is today the day my life starts to get better?! My heart beated fastly. I, I can use magic! Moreover this body is a great grand wizard!

"Its either one of the two. One is that you have amazing amount of mana, and your body can't handle all of it. Or two, your plate is just too weak to handle a normal amount of mana."

He made a wicked smile moving his gaze onto Blackie.

"But yours is different, and a bit useful. He broke my spell before."

I don't know why, but it probably is related to him being scary to Blackie. So you're saying that Blackie is my mana which made a form of a creature, and it'll be my power if it turns into shiny airy thing? And from then on, I will be able to use the power freely?

Wahh! Wow! Uuwahhh! I knew this day would come!

I dodn't know why Claude didn't tell me this, but I felt as if my life span increased.

"Thank you for telling me, oppa!"

I saw angel wings and light coming from this man. I wouldn't have know if this oppa didn't tell me!

Huh, but this is weird. There was no information in the novel <Lovely Princess> that Atanasia can use magic. Well it didn't mention Claude can use magic too so is it not that important?

Nah. I read the parts with Claude ignorantly because he was a bast*rd, but I read Atanasia part really carefully.

"No need to thank me."

Ehh whatever. My memories weren't perfect 7 years had passed. My memories... But this oppa wasn't a bad guy, but a good guy. Explaining what divine animal is and also catching Blackie for me! And those words saying no need to thank him.

"I should go now."

He spoke frowning at the view far away. Ah, right. Felix! I should go in now too. Lilly and Felix must be worried.

"Atti will go now too. Oppa, be careful on your way."

And just when I started moving with Blackie in my arms....

"Right. That way we will meet again."

Blackie suddenly disappeared from my arms. I raised my head up, not knowing what was going on.

Ehh? But why is my Blackie in this oppa's hand again?

"Huh? Why are you taking Blackie?"

Blackie was whimpering again in the stranger's hands. He smiled at my question.

"When did I tell you that I would give him to you?"

'???????' popped on top of my head. What did you just say? No, what do you mean?

"You said Blackie was mine?"

"Before I found it."

...Huh? What? Haha. Am I hearing things? I am hearing words....

"I found it. So its my choice to whether I fry or bake to eat it."

And what kind of stupidness is this? How does he say that so confidently?

I was speechless to his words. I stared at this crazy oppa with a gaze looking like a stupid person, and then realized what was going on after hearing Blackie whimper.

How stubborn he is!

"Why is oppa taking him away! Gimme Blackie!"

No need to be mannerly in front of a thief! The is the owner in front of you, and you just casually tell her you're stealing it?

"So what will you do when you take Blackie!"

You are not gonna eat it for real, right? Why to our cute little animal friend! Wahh!

"It's the same logic of how you sleep when you're sleepy and eat when hungry."

But he just kept on babbling nonsense.

"My mana has decreased from the long sleep, and the royals have the most mana in themselves. That's why I came here to find some divine animals, but look what I found here."

Dun dun dunnnn! It was as if the thunder hit the land.

I thought you were the palace wizard, but you were a thief who came to steal a divine animal?!

"But it's weird. There aren't much divine animal here? As if all the plants died. Anyways I thought it was my waste of time, but thanks to you I found Blackie. It's not enough but it'll help a little."

Kyaaaa hyaaah! I jumped on him as soon as he finished on his words.

"No! Give me back Blackie! Do not eeeeaaaat Blackie!"

You idiot bast*rd! Are you trying to eat Blackie because you are bored!? And it's my Blackie! My mana!

"Ah that is why I tried to leave without anyone knowing."

He lifted his hand with Blackie up high when I tried to reach for him. I was far from reaching even I hopped high.

No, give me back Blackie! Sob. An image of cooked Blackie on a dish flashed in my mind. Wahh, our Blackie!

He seemed to feel sorry for me who was looking up at him with teary eyes. He frowned then spoke.

"There won't be a difference without your divine animal. Just live how you did till now."

Do you think those words are enough to convince me?! What kind of marketing is this!

"It's your problem that your mana decreased! give me! Givvvvvveeeeee meeeeeee!"

He stayed quiet for a moment to think when I insisted. Yeah, it's not too late now! Change your mind! You'll be punished if you abuse a little kid and animal!

"Should I just eat this now?"

He then crouched on his knees. I backed away from him suddenly bending down to my height. Bast*rd's red crimsom eyes were looking straight at me.

"Even though it takes some time, and it's annoying, there is another way."

He said. But anyways, are you kidding me? If there were other way, you could've just did it the other way!

"Should I just leave this alone? I don't think it'll affect much."

I exploded there. But if I say 'yeah! Leave him alone!', I have a feeling that I would get into more danger.

I stared at him feeling suspicious. Your pitiful face won't work on me!

"To say, I am a very kind wizard so I don't think I will be able to sleep well if I eat a thing from a child like you."

"That's a lie!"

I shouted. If so, why did you come to steal Blackie? He smiled in interest when I still didn't believe him. And I became more angry at his next words.

"Then let's do it this way. I'll keep this alive until it becomes actual mana. Sounds good?"

"No. And keep it alive permanently?Why should I?"

"What do you mean why."

I got more angry when he spoke asking for what when I spoke to fight him back. But I soon became speechless at his crimson eyes that are staring at my own eyes.

"I'm telling you that I'm giving you a chance."

I was sure that he was smiling, but I felt chills go down my spine.

"You need to know this. I can always get rid of you and take your divine animal. Of course I could just take all mana I see in front of you. If it were another person, I would've done it with no hesitation. I'm telling you that I will specially not do that to you."

A deeper smile formed and more chills went down my spine.

"Because I got interested in you."

He was speaking scary stuff with an innocent voice and a smile.

And I realized that his words spoke the truth I didn't want to admit.

It would be easier and would give him more benefit for him to just take Blackie than to try and convince a child.

He could do anything he wants to right now.

... But didn't I just called him 'Hey' ,(informal for Koreans to say to older people or person you don't know well.) and punch him for Blackie?

I carefully took my hands off his clothes I was pulling down.

I myself didn't want to, but I was quite scared.

It was already dangerous to be in a place with a stranger alone, but it wasn't going to get any better if I make him mad. Uwaaaahh.... Blackie, I'm so sorry. I cannot protect you cause I'm too weak. Whahhahahahahah.

He smiled when I shut my mouth knowing just what was happening.

"Don't be scared. I'm a nice wizard. Maybe I won't want to eat Blackie later."

Did all nice wizards freezed to death?! If you are really a nice wizard, I would destroy my palace with my fist! What kind of kind wizard causes all kinds of crimes and give death warnings to a 7 year old!

I carefully opened my lips in hesitation. I-I know I am a coward. But I'm scared. Wahhh.

"Then what do you want from me instead?"

"You are smarter than I thougt."

He smiled as if he found something really fun.

"You don't need to do anything. What I want from you is is a little specific thing. I can grab what I need from you myself. Ah, but it's not like stealing stuff from you."

What does that mean? I feel weird. But if I say no, he would just swallow Blackie, right? Sniff, Oh god! Why did you make me into such a weak person!

"But if that is actually deceiving me...."

"No problem. I told you I'm a real kind and nice wizard. Its a deal that won't hurt you. Promise."

Is lying something you do every day?! Your words don't help at all!

"And if I like what I got from you..."

Ugh. But do I have power to choose? I could only try to take a hint. It's been so long since I've felt my death flag right in front of me. But it's not welcoming at all. Sob.

"I won't eat that thing even if it becomes mana. A good deal."

He looked at me as if he was asking for my answer. Bad bast*td! As if you're give me a choice!
