I Didn’t Mean to Save The Villain - Chapter 3

────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Chapter 3 – I Became The Youngest Princess Of Asuramasura (2)

“Oh my, it seems that Her Highness has a liking for the new mobile.”

“Oou, baa!”

Do I like it or not?

Whatever, it was worth the hard work I had done in my past life, I got to view my favorite novel in a special seat no less!

And so, an extra with a diamond spoon. This is the setting of my life now.

Even the same extras were different from the past.

I remembered again the voice I heard when I reincarnated.

‘I should have been the one who was saved!’

*** 

Living as the youngest princess Cecilia was really… a series of happy and warm days.

All I have to do is to breathe, lift my head, turn over, and crawl to win praise and affection.

“Have you come to visit Your Highness?”

“Yeah, is Baby awake?”

“What baby, Theo! She has a pretty name, Cecilia.”

“Until now, I have always been the baby. I also wanted to call her Baby.”

“Yeah, our baby Theo.”

“Hey, Sister!”

I was lying in the cradle while training my eyesight and enjoying the colorful mobiles. The chattering voices of the children filled the room.

“Hi, Baby?”

“Cecil, your third older sister and brother are here.”

Two round faces protruded above the cradle. My older brother Theodore and Rebecca who is a year older than him.

The faces above me are 12 years older than me.

“Uuu, kkyaha!”

“Are you happy that we are here?”

Of course, it’s nice!

Really… My father and mother were both beautiful, overcoming adversity, and all of my siblings are also the same.

Whenever beautiful, charming children came into my sight, my laughter burst out without me realizing it.

Here you go, a baby’s laughter service! ha ha ha!

“Ah, all babies are really cute…”

That’s what I wanted to say, Big Brother.

As my vision gradually became clearer, I began to be able to recognize the faces accurately… I concluded that their majestic appearance played a part in the harmonious relationship of the Imperial family.

“Theo, I don’t remember you being cute.”

“Sister is only a year older than me, but you manage to remember so much.”

Theodore shone brightly under his well-combed bangs, and Rebecca gave off a feeling as cozy as her wavy cloud-like hair.

They were only twelve and thirteen, but I had no doubt that they would soon become an enormous beauty and handsome figure.

‘Just looking at Mother and Father, this beauty gene won’t disappear.’

I felt proud of my reasonable speculation.

In fact, in the case of my brother Theodore in the Original Novel, he was proud to be listed as one of the handsome men in high society.

After all, in the future, the male lead Leopold will also grow into a handsome man who will succeed him.

‘Hu-hoo. Then, I’ll look forward to this life too.’

I burst into laughter without realizing it, Theodore and Rebecca who were whining, turned their twinkling eyes at me.

“Ah, so lovely.”

“I don’t think I will ever get bored watching Baby all day long…”

“Theo, Becky! Did you guys wash?”

Suddenly a sharp voice rang out. With her firm tone, it was clearly Roselia, the second older sister.

“Eek.”

Theodore pressed his nose into his collar, sniffling his sweat, and slid back.

“Buu…”

It was only then I noticed the odor that I hadn’t detected while adoring his face.

You are still the most handsome man in your generation…

“Becky, don’t use your Divine Powers for such small tasks like that.”

“You said you were just writing in your room, Sister.”

“Babies are much weaker than us, so you have to be more careful.”

It always occurs to me, but the concept of hygiene has developed quite a bit. Is it because we’re in a Korean Romance-Fantasy?

Theodore and Rebecca followed the maids to the side room.

“Cecil, how have you been? Second sister is here.”

Roselia approached the cradle and embraced me.

‘It’s comfortable…’

Perhaps due to already having two younger siblings, Roselia held me with a familiar touch. The weight of an infant was too easy for someone destined to become the Commander of the Holy Knights in the future.

“Do you get along with your nanny today? Have you eaten a lot too?”

“Au, baa!”

I smiled brightly as much as I enthusiastically wanted to reply.

“Madam, is it fine for Cecil to smile like this all the time? Theo cried a lot.”

“The Fourth Princess is gentle. It seems Her Highness recognizes Your Highnesses.”

“As expected, our Cecil is brilliant.”

Roselia looked proud at the nanny’s answer, smirked, and approached the mirror on the wall.

Roselia had short hair, cut like a knife at the corner of her ear. Right next to her image, my eye was caught by the face of a baby girl, her eyes the size of a big bell and her pale cheeks.

‘It’s Cecil’s face!’

This was my favorite time. The face I can’t see by myself, the face of Cecil…

“Cecil, is there a baby here? Who could it be? Do you think she’s lovely?”

Roselia leaned over and put me in front of the mirror. Without thinking, I reached out and placed my hand on the baby’s face in the mirror.

‘I can’t believe it.’

Beneath the fluffy silver hair, her emerald-colored eyes emanated to the fullest. If you observe closely, you can notice the golden spot in the iris, adding to the mystery.

It was said that one of the characteristics of the Imperial Family was the gold mixed in their eyes along with their silver hair.

“Is this what is supposed to be considered pretty in this world?”

Without this, people wouldn’t love me as much as they do now.

Satisfied with this logic, I grinned. Oh, I’m drooling.

“Oh my, our Cecil laughs a lot.”

Roselia wiped my mouth with her cuff. Whether she came right after washing after her training, the soft indoor dress smelled like fabric softener.

Sniffling, I impatiently shoved my nose in Roselia’s arms.

“Oh my, Cecil must love her sister a lot, is that right?”

Yes, nice!

‘Roselia is the most important person among our siblings!’

Seventeen year old Roselia was showing promise while still a trainee in the Order of the Holy Knights.

Because she has the talent to become the Commander of the Holy Knights.

With the male lead Leopold going to be a paladin, Roselia appeared as his superior in Leopold’s daily episodes, in mission scenes, and in the final battle.

‘When the female lead was kidnapped by the secondary male lead, Leopold was so upset that Roselia gladly gave him a vacation, and she was popular because she is a cool boss.’

Come to think of it, since the original is set about 20 years from now, it is clear that most of the people who will appear in the original exist somewhere in this world.

‘There is a scene where Leopold was my companion when I was young, so he must have been born by now, right? Amelie was older than me, so she must have been born too.’

At that moment, I was struck again at the realization that I was in the world of ‘Deductible Eyes’.

‘I will be able to see everything when I get older. I’m looking forward to it.’

Hehe, I’m drowning in the thoughts that only I know… I’m drooling again.

‘Ah, human dignity.’

Roselia wiped off again my mouth with her other cuff and headed toward the window.

“Cecil, would you like to see what’s outside the window?”

The window has a wide view of the main palace’s back garden, and it was my favorite place. However, I couldn’t leave the nursery room until after my first birthday.

In the late afternoon when the siblings came, the scene of the warm sunlight peeping in and coloring the drowsy afternoon was beautiful.

“Becky, come get Cecil. I will open the window.”

Roselia handed me to the approaching Rebecca and opened the window with her long arms. Mm, the smell of Autumn.

“Sister, did you win the match today? You said you were going to fight with the trainees who will become official knights by next year.”

“It was neck-and-neck, but I unfortunately lost. They are knights who will protect the Imperial Family in the future, so they shouldn’t lose to me.”

Oh, as expected, talent comes with the desire to win.

After their work, coming to my room to see me and talk about their day’s events had become my siblings’ daily routine.

Unlike my nursery attached to my mother’s room in the palace, my brothers and sisters lived at the Frisier Palace for the Emperor’s children.

After all, one must not go anywhere in a setting where friendship is strong.

‘They’re pretty, so there’s nothing wrong between them.’

Even more so whenever I recall the relationship I had with my siblings in my past life that was so shallow.

‘My younger siblings pretended to be close to me so that I would at least give them pocket money…’

At times I felt bitter at the dark memories of my past life.

Whoosh, the cold wind of early Autumn blew into the room through the open window. Brrr, my body shivered.

“Oh, are you cold, Cecil?”

“Bah.”

I wanted to say it was okay, but my mouth just drooled. When will this tongue of mine be able to move freely?

‘But it seems I already know the language. If only my articulatory organ developed further, it would be clear and flowing.

It was around that time I began dreaming of becoming eloquent.

I felt something warm around Rebecca’s hand on my back.

“Isn’t it warm?”

Heee, I looked up at Rebecca without even thinking of shutting my mouth.

Oh, I’m drooling again.

“That’s right, Becky. If you want to use your Divine Power, I’d rather you use it for Cecil.”

“You know that this isn’t too much for me.”

Ah, so this is the Divine Power.

‘In fact, Rebecca used to come and go a lot in the summer to cool me down.’

Rebecca was born with great Divine Power and expected to become a potential pope candidate in the Original Novel 20 years later.

She was still young enough to become a trainee, but she seemed to have learned how to purify the body or control the body temperature by herself.

Come to think of it, it was said that the Divine Power is innate to everyone in this world.

‘Then heat won’t be a problem for me later on? In my past life, I couldn’t even turn on the air conditioner because I was worried about my electricity bill…!’

I smiled again as I envisioned my rosy future that would be comfortable in summer without Rebecca’s help.

‘Good job Reincarnation, really!’

*** 

“Her Highness the Fourth Princess must also have a strong Divine Power, right?”

“The Imperial Family is blessed and prosperous because God has sent more angels to protect the Empire.”

“Your Majesty’s reign is very strong.”

The interest in my Divine Power is bound to grow day by day.

It was all thanks to the nanny and maids defensively gossiping in front of me, thinking that I wouldn’t understand.

‘The Divine Power played an important role in the Original novel.’

People called this era the ‘Holy Age’. This is because everyone, great or not, is born with Divine Power.

Hundred of years before, the ancient civilizations of the continent suddenly collapsed under the invasion of demons, and only those with Divine Power were able to survive.

And 500 years ago, the First Emperor chosen by God defeated the army of demons with a mighty Divine Power and thereafter established the country.

‘And so that was how Asuramasura was built… Anyway this Empire. No matter how heroic he is, his naming sense is messed up.’

For this reason, the outstanding Divine Power manifested in the immediate Imperial family was a symbol and legitimacy of the sovereign Imperial authority.

Even among the masses, Divinity was important.

The higher the status, the greater the innate Divine Power, and the higher the Divine Power, the greater the possibility of becoming a paladin after entering the denomination.

With this kind of tradition, it was not unreasonable to say that the youngest angel had already visited and rejoiced over me.

‘Hehe, my appearance is that of an angel too.’

That was when I hit my first birthday.

“Your Highness, today is a very important day.”

“Oou (Important)?”

At my nanny’s words, I asked, making my mouth and eyes round.

But I don’t think the nanny understood me…
