Who Made Me a Princess
Chapter 86

Chapter 86

Translator: HH Editor: HH

I tried to do a movement that seemed easier. The middle-schooler who came to see me in the PC bang often did this.

“Fire ball!”

I spread my hands forward and shouted.

Surprisingly, a red ball of fire appeared in my hand like it was going to explode and….never mind.

Obviously, nothing happened. You could hear a pin drop in my room.

A, Ahem. This was a bit embarrassing. No one saw, right?

I put my down and glanced around me. Once I checked that there was no one around me, I sighed in relief.

What the heck! It doesn’t work. This stupid magic book!

But from another perspective, it could mean that my body didn’t have any magic power.

I couldn’t feel anything after Blackie disappeared now that I thought about it. So did that mean Blackie wasn’t absorbed?

He might’ve ran away since he was so calm and weak-minded. Lucas said he liked to run away. I hoped that was the case.

I shouldn’t have gotten the magic book out. Ha, like I was actually gonna be a Great Magician.

I flung the book to the side and plopped on my bed.

Magic wasn’t even that great anyway. My life was magic, actually. Everyone I want, the maid unnies get it for me.

When I was younger, I didn’t want a magic lamp or a genie like in animations. I preferred having a house or nice clothes. Wow. My sense of reality when I was younger was really something.

“Open sesame!”

I started to shout spells I remembered from when I watched animations half-heartedly.

“Abracadabra!

Haha, I used to do this a lot when I was younger.

“Appear gold and silver!”

It felt like money would drop from the…

Clang!

I paused at the sound of a coin dropping. Hm? What was this sound?

I looked towards where the sound came from. And I saw the surprising scene

Clang! Plop. Clang!

Something sparkly came out from nowhere and fell on the floor. I suspected my eyes and stood up from the bed.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

I gaped.

What the heck was this! Coins are falling from the sky!

They were gold and silver coins I used with Lucas when we left the castle. But how? Was Lucas here?

“L, Lucas?”

Silence.

“If you’re here stop hiding and come out!”

Another silence.

I frantically looked around me. But there wasn’t a single shadow, let alone a person.

Then, I remembered the spell I saw. N, No way.

“Appear gold and silver……?”

I muttered to myself watching the coins continue to fall.

Clang! Plop plop plop!

Gasp!

The coins started pouring out.

“Wait, wait!”

Plop plop plop!

The flood of gold and silver coins started to roll over to where I was next to the bed.

Oh shoot! What should I do?

“W, wait! Stop! Coins!”

I waved my arms at the coins in shock. The wave of coins started to approach my bed.

I quickly ran back. This was the first time I felt so glad that my bed was this big! I did like money, but I was scared I might drown in it!

“I said stop! Enough!”

Plop plop. Clang!

As I shouted, the coin storm stopped. I stood panting in the quiet room.

What just happened now? Was I napping? Wasn’t this a dream?

But after I pinched my thigh and it really hurt I realized this was reality.

“The heck.”

I stood there blankly. My feet were already half covered in coins.

“Appear gold! Wait. Just one!”

Patter!

I held my hand. And a small shiny piece fell on my head.

“Huh huh….”

I laughed in disbelief. I made this? Really?

I experimented with it several more times because I couldn’t believe it. And my hand fell to my side after observing the same thing happen.

W, Wow. This unbelievable….

It seemed like I was able to make counterfeit like Lucas now.

No, but when I asked for the fire ball earlier, why didn’t it work? And only worked for money! It seemed my magic was the superficial kind that only liked things to make me rich.

As I stepped forward, the gold coins clanged off my foot. I just looked at it blankly and lied down on the mountain of coins.

Like when I went to the treasure chest Claude gave me whenever I wanted to rest. This was actually how it felt like to drown in money! Have you ever heard of gold therapy?

“Wow, I’m rich.”

I felt the gold on my skin and shivered. I knew unrealistic things were happening to me, but to imagine this would happen.

So I could use magic now? My dream of being a Great Magician was coming true? Really?

“This is amazing.”

But I didn’t feel happy. If this happened in the past, my mouth would be hurting from smiling so much. Was it because this still felt unreal to me?

“Totally amazing.”

I was lying on top of the coins muttering incomprehensible words.

“So Blackie really disappeared then.”

If I could use magic, the thing I assumed was correct. Right?

I thought it was true, but to actually experience it made me feel empty.

I knew Blackie was gonna disappear. It just happened faster than it should. It’s not like I was unprepared.

Ah, so that’s why Lucas spoke meanly to me then. He didn’t want to get too attached to something that would disappear. Since I couldn’t change fate.

Maybe Lucas had read my mind before I did. I thought it would be nice if there was someone to tell me I was being stupid, but I realized too late now that Lucas was gone.

“What the heck.”

As I thought of Blackie, then Lucas, something felt caught in my throat. I covered my eyes with my arm.

Ugh, everything was annoying.

I wanted to sleep like this for a week.

Like my magic heard my wish, sleep started overcoming me. I closed my eyes willingly. And like sleep was hugging me, I quietly let myself be absorbed in it.

***

But it wasn’t like I actually slept for one week.

About two hours later, I woke up at someone’s panicked shouts.

“Princess! Princess, wake up and see this!”

This was Lili’s voice! I’m totally in a deep sleep right now, don’t wake me up! I wanted to sleep a bit more.

“Princess!”

Lili started to shake me as I didn’t wake up. With every shake, I heard the coins clacking against each other.

Oh right. I fell asleep on the coins.

Grunt.

When I realized it, my body started to wake up on its own. So then this wasn’t a dream!

Ow my back. Everywhere hurts. Why did I do that, even if I knew I liked money a little too much! My back is creaking because I slept on a hard and rough surface!

“Princess, what’s all this? Did you move everything from your safe in here?”

Lili started to look at me pitifully.

She probably thought I had ordered the other maids to move all these coins to my room. I became embarrassed at her gaze.

D, Did I go to see my safe and my gold too much! Although it was true I went to my safe whenever I needed some healing.

But to think it was to make Lili look at me like that right now. Ugh. Whatever happened to my image.

“I didn’t see anyone enter this room….”

Lili had a questioning face. Even if maids moved all these coins to my room secretly, it was impossible to do so without being caught at all.

If it was this many coins, they would’ve had to enter and leave my room multiple times. It’s not like the maids were ninjas, so that was impossible.

“No, Lili. I was by myself.”

I thought about whether I should lie, but decided not to. Since my lie would be caught immediately after asking the maids a single question.
