Why Are You So Obsessed With Rejecting Affection?

Translator and Editor: Bunny and Einna

It was both difficult and annoying because Shuelina took my powers from me without returning them.

Fortunately, I still have an extra Brilliant so I can use my powers, but I feel like the ground under my feet is crumbling away like sand.

Moreover, the emperor issued an edict to look for Shuelina and I felt terrified.

But that kid is aiming for whats mine, and what if she wants to take my place?

The youngest princess, whom everyone looks up to and loves. It was her favorite title.

She has all the love and precious things in the world.

She had no one to divide that affection to.

It would have been nice if my older brother came today.

If he did that, everyone would look up to them and say they are such affectionate siblings.

The sudden edict of the emperor could have put those stupid gossiping fools to rest.

However, Lucas said he had to do something important, thus, he was absent. Even though it was the first party after his sister got sick!

I dont think it is a problem to show a little disappointment in my older brother.

Azuela has a personality that she can forget her treatment of others but not her own grudges.

But today, that kid is his priority.

It would be best if that kid lives as she is now and never appears again, but it wouldnt work out as long as the emperor wants to find her.

If I cant stop that kid from showing up in the capital.

It would be really sad and unfair, but I still have to get along with her. Because I am the nice and elegant princess.

Commoners are said to be greedy and less intelligent, so I have no choice but to take care of her.

A princess duty is to be compassionate towards stupid people.

Azuela frowned sadly, then slightly shook her head.

After all, its been a while since weve been together like this, so Im wondering if Ill show you something fun.

Azuela got up from her seat and headed for the front of the hall. The jeweled podium was waiting for her.

Azuela, standing at the gleaming giant jeweled podium, clapped her hands twice.

Then one door of the hall opened, and one of the maids appeared with a small cage.

Here.

Azuela looked through the cage. Then, black and violet mist started appearing from her fingertips.

After she opened the cage, she put her finger on the little bird.

You cant come out.

Wow!

Even though the cage door was open, the bird did not come out.

The noble children witnessed the spiritual power of a member of the imperial family and they clapped.

It wasnt a common sight, as there werent many things that the royal family could do to show off their spirit power directly.

All the children were surprised by the magical and elemental power of the princess.

Now come out and sing!

At Azuelas words, the bird immediately exited the cage and sat on the princesss shoulder, starting to chirp out a bright melody.

It is like in a fairytale when you look at the beautifully dressed little princess taming a cute animal.

They all looked at Azuela with twinkling eyes.

The princess is just like the spirit of the forest!

Its really beautiful!

This was a well-organized play. Azuela was gaining power by exhibiting the divine spirit power like an actor on a stage.

After hearing the cheers of the people, Azuela was satisfied and gave the bird the following instructions.

Go to the person with the loudest cheers and deliver my gift.

Then the bird began to snoop as if it was really identifying people.

Then, Azuela let the bird fly to the person she indicated inside the crowd from the beginning, while it was holding a pendant in its foot to give them.

It was an invitation to a tea party held at the Imperial Princess Palace.

It was only natural for the mother to join the event since the person Azuela gave the gift to and will receive as a guest was a child, but he cannot be simply called a normal little boy because a connection to him would be beneficial for them.

A tea party invitation was the most wanted gift for the nobles who wanted to get closer to the princess or the empress.

Well, come to think of it, has anyone heard of the person Father Emperor is looking for lately?

Azuela tilted her face, manipulating the bird to continue singing lovingly.

Yes, a new member of the imperial family has been discovered who expressed spirit power. They are calling them the red garment of the empire.

(T/N: The color red in Korean culture means authority, exorcisms, pursuit of happiness, anti-communism, cohesion, and solidarity. In this context, Shuelina was said to be the red garment of the empire. While red has two meanings and the fact that it was a color royalty wears in the ancient Korea (Joseon), Shuelina is referred to as the pursuit of happiness at least for the emperor. [Source: ])

In a moments buzz, someone opened their mouth.

Azuela stared at that person with their tactless words. She could see the boys face light up with excitement.

Seeing the blush on his youthful face, it was clear that he didnt even notice why Azuela brought up this topic.

Shall I never let you appear before my eyes again? Then he will learn some lessons.

Why would the discovery of a new member of the royal empire be a red garment of the empire? It was just because of greed that she took away everything from Azuela.

Azuela slowly approached the boy. She leaned in and said something to him.

Ah!

The boys clothes were soaked in champagne.

The crying boy looked at Azuela, but she only passed by him as if she hadnt seen him.

He couldnt point out the mistake of the Imperial Princess.

Eventually, the boy left the party with his soaked clothes.

Its more fun.

Being tactless and defying the wrath of a member of the royal family is a great sin.

Azuela turned her head, snorting inside.

Its really weird. Suddenly, an imperial family member of unknown origin has appeared at this time.

Azuela made a strange expression and lightly said those words. She had an expression that expressed neither a good or bad mood.

It was definitely a cause for celebration if a lost member of the royal family was discovered, but it is ambiguous to hang the title imperial family member on a kid whom they dont know the origins of.

Is it a distant relative? ? Anyway, I heard that the kid has excellent spiritual power

Is that so?

Given that weve never seen her before, I dont think shes a noble Its also pitiful for her to grow up as a commoner!

A child who is not directly related. In order not to have people suspect that she is the empresss dead child, Azuela deliberately referred to her as a distant relative.

As it is an empire with a long history, the size of the royal family is quite large. Somehow, there could have been someone who had faint imperial blood in their body.

It is impossible to prevent the individuals deviation from the royal family.

How scary would all this be if you had grown up as a commoner? Its definitely a good thing, but it might be scary for her.

A member of the imperial family who grew up as a commoner without knowing their history. Maybe they were an illegitimate child born out of an affair from someone in the royal family.

Azuelas face had a downcast expression as if she was sympathizing as she imagined the child.

If she arrives at the Imperial Palace, I will keep her close and cherish her. I cannot wait to meet her and help her out.

Azuela drew a sword at Shuelina. She deliberately told a story designated for a member of the royal family.

You are not a direct member of the royal family anyway, so stand in line.

She will not forgive her if she and that child will be measured at the same line.

After all, that child grew up as a commoner.

She will prevent Shuelina from building enough political connections that will challenge her position.

The princess is really like an angel!

She spoke with such a grim face without malice, and even the listeners didnt think it was an attack.

Azuela didnt really understand everything she said either.

To say so, she just instinctively knew it would hurt Shuelina.

In the future, even if Shuelina came to the imperial palace, everyone would unconsciously think of and treat her as a commoner princess.

Im feeling a little better now.

A happy smile was hanging on Azuelas lips.

5. How to protect my family

Nina, do you have any library or archives in the Grand Dukes estate?

I asked her as she was organizing the books on the bookshelf that Teacher Rima used to teach me.

Following the incident with Teacher Rima, the Grand Duke promised to find me a new teacher.

Cahill also apologized to me for failing to find a proper teacher.

Anyway, thanks to that, I still have some time left before the new teacher comes.

I am planning to take this opportunity to spend some time in the library of the Grand Duke.

It is impossible that a mansion as big as this wouldnt have a place where the archives are put and records are kept.

Yes, of course. We have both.

It was as I thought. I thought about it for a while and then asked Nina again.

I want to study the history of the Grand Dukes house, should I go to the archives for this?

I was thinking of looking at the Grand Dukes domain.

I came to a realization that the poison was the Empress first strike towards me, and it was supposedly the same one that would come a few years later.

Although no one really knew it, the empress had done many evil deeds in the empire.

It was all to build up Azuelas achievements.

Nothing will be easier than solving your own evil deeds.

Just by intercepting or slightly pulling at loose threads will stop the conspiracy of those two.

Its helpful to take one step ahead for the future. Like this time, I will take out the empress before she even gets ready.

Preventing that evil behavior in advance or intercepting it with a solution would also have a positive result.

This time, I definitely felt it while listening to the praises from the newspaper.

The opportunity to build a positive image for the Empress and Azuela was taken out already. Besides, our family will naturally build a good reputation.

Individuals and families cannot be identified, but Vaillots fame soon affected the Grand Princess.

Conversely, the reputation of the Grand Princess could also influence the image of the Vaillot family.

The biggest advantage I have is that I know the original plot. Even if its only a book and some little changes were made, important events will happen eventually.

Because of that, I was thinking of looking for information on the forest of the beast.

It was because of an event that would happen soon.

An event where a white beast appears near the Grand Duchy, specifically in the forest of beasts. The beast devours and destroys a lot in the Grand Duchy and kills hundreds of residents in nearby provinces.

The moment the people trembled in fear because no one was in a proper position, Azuela manipulated the demon and made the demon take its own life.

The Empress is the beginning of this case.

The details of the case were not disclosed. Because it was an event that was written from Azuelas point of view.

However, the sentence My mother and the tower helped me, so I was able to be praised by everyone. stood out.

The empress laid all the groundwork for Azuelas achievements.

Oh my goodness! The history of the Grand Duke?

When I suddenly talked about the history of the Grand Duke, Nina looked at me in amazement.

Yes. Things related to the Grand Dukes household are kept in the archives, and general collections are kept in the library.

Thats right. Since I became the Grand Princess, I have wanted to study the history of our house.

Oh my God, my lady. With your wonderful thoughts!

Nina looked at me with eyes of admiration.

I was just trying to study but Nina is such a drama queen, as if I said I will be writing a new history book.

I like everything about Nina, but sometimes shes too expressive.

Even if I only did a small thing, she would look at me with admiration.

Once I caught her murmuring secretly Im dying from the young ladys cuteness! (T/N: Who isnt? lol)

She was originally a bit dull but when paired up with Franc, she is always doing stuff like that.

This time again, Nina was moved that I was curious about the history of the family.

Nina, Nina?

I shook Nina, who had an ecstatic expression on her face, to get back her senses.

Then she soon brought a tray of hot milk and some chocolates from somewhere. There was also a magic lamp in her other hand.

Youll get hungry quickly when you read a book. And its a bit cold there, so its good to bring a lamp.

Her cheeks were a little red, as if she ran like the wind.

I was speechless for a moment when I saw the piping hot milk.

Uh Thanks, Nina. I think Nina is really capable!

Really? More than Franc?

Nina asked with a bright red face, almost like a tomato, and she immediately said Im just kidding!

She then led me to the archive room.

Now I want to be alone, so Nina can do other things or take a break.

Will you be okay if I left you alone, lady?

It will take me a long time to find what I need anyway. Its inefficient to keep watching me.

Yes. I will be reading a book here. Pick me up before dinner if I still happen to be here.

I let Nina go while opening the door of the archive room.
