The Place Where I Was Sold as a Slave Was the Imperial Palace

＜ Please take good care of the princess + (Abduction; My Poor Princess) ＞

“Eh, it’s the waist.”

The nurse cried out in pain and fell on her forehead on the floor.

“are you okay?”

When Rudy asked worriedly, he grunted and nodded slightly.

However, since he was doing this with his forehead on the floor, he looked even more sick instead of feeling better.

“I’d like to lie down somewhere first.”

“You are a good boy. I am OK. It’s because it’s hard to come down the stairs.”

“Your back hurts. Are you upstairs?”

The nanny grunted in reply.

“The servant’s room is upstairs.”

“Can’t we just stay on the first floor when no one is there?”

The nanny raised her head while lying on her face.

“It can’t be! Even if everyone makes fun of my mama, only me! I will definitely be as polite as I am to the royal family! I’m just an outcast Bmama here, but here in Denver…!”

It seems that a lot has accumulated in the meantime.

There was blood in the nanny’s eyes.

“···sorry. I just…”

Rudy lowered her head, and Nanny groaned and lowered her head again.

“No, kid. I’m sorry. It wasn’t something I would say to a child as young as you… My mom’s situation is a bit like that.”

The nanny tapped her aching waist with her fist and said,

“I will tell you the details later. It hurts so much right now…”

“Yes, but what am I supposed to do? I just want to know that first.”

“You are really good at talking. I’ve been working as a nanny for a long time, but I’ve never seen a child who speaks as well as you.”

“…”

“Anyway, I’m glad. When the chief chamberlain said that he would find a child who looked like Enrico and send it to me, I thought I would have to take care of him… I’m so glad you came… It took me a while… It’s a grunt… Oh my waist.”

Rudy tilted his head.

“If it’s Enrico-sama… are you the prince? Why do you need a child who looks like the prince?”

“Because Bhimama is looking for it.”

The nanny let out a long sigh.

“Bimama sometimes wanders here and there looking for Prince Enrico.”

Even if you search the whole mansion, if the prince is not there, go outside.

Bhimama wandered aimlessly from place to place, barefoot and without shoes.

A few times that happened.

Sometimes I was able to catch Mama in time, but sometimes I missed her because she was so slow, or she left when I couldn’t see her because I was doing other things.

Then there were a few times I couldn’t find it all day long.

The nanny was helpless on her own, so she was on her feet, but the chamberlain helped several times.

However, there were no handmaidens or escort knights assigned to this place.

I tried to ask the chief chamberlain, but everything in the concubine follows the decision of the empress.

It was unacceptable for the chief chamberlain to include a maid separately.

Besides, they couldn’t find a maid who wanted to attend Bhimama.

As several maids who served Nadiagra’s concubine were falsely framed and imprisoned repeatedly, no one wanted to come here.

In the end, the chief chamberlain suffered from a headache, so he sent a slave who looked like the prince to this place to get rid of Bhimama’s wandering outside.

Even the empress could not object to the emperor sending a young slave under the pretext of comforting a concubine who had lost a son.

“So all you have to do is just stay with Bhimama.”

“…”

Rudy sighed lightly without the nanny knowing.

I just tell you to stay by my side, but the situation here seemed so pathetic.

Both the concubine and the princess were skinny, but the nanny was too skinny.

It was to the point where he doubted whether he was eating or not.

Besides, the situation of this baby is hopeless.

If this continues, the weak princess will die within a few days.

Because her arms were weak, the princess slipped slightly.

Rudy asked the nanny as she supported the baby on her knees.

“By the way… why is the princess so thin?”

“···that···.”

Tears poured from the nanny’s eyes.

“It’s all the empress’ fault. At first, the princess was also chubby and very cute and gained weight. But the empress…”

The nanny bites her lip as if it were unfair.

Is it because I haven’t been able to tell anyone about the unfair thing in the meantime?

The nanny told stories to young Rudy.

According to the nanny, the nanny who nursed the princess was taken away by another concubine.

It was the reason that another concubine’s nanny was lacking in milk.

He said he would borrow a babysitter for a few days, but she never returned.

“It’s all the work of the empress. It’s not enough that the terrible empress killed the prince…”

The nurse stopped talking and covered her mouth with both hands.

Rudy didn’t ask anymore.

I think I know roughly what happened.

When a concubine was loved and gave birth to a prince, he must have killed it with his own hands, whether it was poisoning or something.

It’s probably because of that that Bhimama became insane.

“How long has the babysitter gone?”

“It’s been quite a while. Since it was this spring…”

“…”

The princess is said to have been born last winter.

It is autumn now.

The baby was barely old enough to turn one.

When I asked him what he ate while he couldn’t breastfeed, he got a ridiculous answer.

It is said that they cut the roasted meat into small pieces and soaked it in water, or crushed boiled beans. Sometimes the bread was soaked in the stew…

When asked if it was boiled thoroughly, the nanny replied that she could not boil it because she could not use magic tools.

no. I would really die if I entrusted the princess to this person.

In the spring, he would have been a baby just over 100 days old.

To make such a baby eat what has been soaked in meat, it is a miracle that he has not died and is alive.

Even Rudy, who had never had a baby in his life, knew at least that he wasn’t supposed to feed a baby anything like that.

The nanny, who had been talking about how unfair Bhimama had been living for a while, went upstairs exhausted like a weak robot.

Climb the stairs, rest, grunt and go up again.

I thought it would take all day to climb like that.

Rudy decided to stay downstairs because he didn’t know when he would wake up and find the prince.

His residence is near the stairs leading up to the second floor.

Behind the stairs is a space used as a food warehouse, and he said that he could choose a place he liked nearby.

When the nanny went up, the building was quiet again.

The baby is still sucking Rudy’s finger. It is as zealous as if it would die if it disappeared.

The sound of finger-sucking on the other side spread a little through the space where the lanterns swayed.

“Princess, I need to eat something. I will die like this.”

I spoke softly to the baby and stood up hesitantly.

The skinny princess is still fingering, but she can’t move at this rate.

When I gently removed my finger, the baby started to twitch.

Gradually, the whole face is distorted.

Rudy quickly put his finger back in the baby’s mouth, thinking he would probably cry if left as it was.

The princess grabbed his finger with her small hand, as if she would never let go.

‘ha···.’

It’s pitiful, but I think the future will be endless.

‘First of all, I’ll look at what to eat, then I’ll make something like porridge and feed it as baby food.’

But the nanny said I had to use magic tools, so how could I use them?

All the nanny knew was that magic tools had to be supplied with magic.

It would be nice to have firewood, but the firewood to put in the fireplace ran out about ten days ago.

It was said that it was because the empress noticed, or if someone in the middle was embezzling it, the food and equipment were always being paid less.

First of all, after feeding the baby, let’s check the inventory.

Buradov said he would supply what he lacked, but given the situation, that won’t last long either.

I think it would be better to accept it to the limit when there is a chance.

With one hand on the baby’s mouth and the other hand holding the baby, Rudy dragged it toward the kitchen.

‘Anyway, what about magic tools?’

Judging from what the nanny said, it seems that the quality of life would improve dramatically if I could only use magic tools, but I don’t know how to supply magic.

Originally, magic tools used in the concubine are collected and given new ones when their magic power runs out.

And I heard that it is a way to replace it again when the mana runs out again.

However, replacement work was never done in this place that was hated by the empress.

That’s why there are almost no magic tools that can be used right now, and even the lanterns have to be used sparingly.

‘I think I’ve been told since I was born that I have a lot of mana.’

I don’t know if it’s because it’s from the Corea Dynasty or because it’s from the Duke of Watoringu, but I heard that it was rumored to possess tremendous magical powers when it was born.

Wouldn’t it be possible to do something with such magical power?

“…”

Did the dantian say something like gi training, and then turn the mana into the body once?

Or, like in a martial arts novel, blowing a long wind?

I think it’s funny, but the baby bites his finger with his small teeth.

I thought something would come out, but no matter how much I wash it, I think I’m angry.

“You are a princess with a temper.”

Yes, if you can get angry that much, you can survive in the future.

“Princess, please take good care of me from now on.”

Biting into his tiny front teeth, Rudy grinned.

Oh, but it hurts a little.

[Abduction; nanny’s little princess]

Now it has turned into an abandoned house, but there was once a time when Yeonghwa stayed in this desolate place.

This is where His Majesty’s most beloved, beautiful concubine lives.

It was a place where His Majesty’s steps did not stop, like a butterfly landing on a flower.

By order of the emperor, beautiful flowers gathered from all over the place, and in spring they bloomed profusely around this mansion.

In the summer, the emperor would bring his concubines their favorite fruits and put them in their mouths.

Seeing the loveliness of the concubine younger than his son, the emperor was eager to present her with jewels and begged for words of love.

It wasn’t long before the lonely princess was captured by the clever man’s flattery.

Married as a hostage at the young age of 12, the young princess who lived only in the concubine fell in love.

The young bird, ignorant of the world outside the concubine, was eroded by love, believing that the fervent courtship would continue forever.

Maybe I should have stopped it.

When the 12-year-old princess arrived in the empire with her nanny, he was the emperor who did not look at her face once.

The emperor sent the princess into the depths of the concubine without sending a warm word.

The princess had never seen the emperor’s face until she was eighteen and first appeared at a banquet in the imperial palace.

There’s no way such a heartless emperor would love only the princess forever.

But how could I have said that when I saw that innocently smiling face?

From the time she was born, the nanny swallowed the words that came out of her mouth whenever the big princess smiled brightly in her hands.

[Nanny, His Majesty gave me flowers today. He said he looked like me and put a flower in my hair.]

I thought the princess with a bright smile was like a flower.

The princess, who treasured a single flower the emperor gave her more than jewels, looked like the bright sun in her nanny’s eyes.

But the flowers that bloomed splendidly will one day die.

While the princess was pregnant with the prince, the king’s love moved to another concubine.

It would have been nice if that was all.

If the girl had been born at that time, the princess would have been forgotten by the emperor, but the empress would not have hated her…

It was also not good that the born prince had magical powers.

Although the crown prince, who is older than the princess, claims to possess magical powers, it is rumored that he actually has almost no magical powers.

When a prince with magical powers was born in such a state, the princess and Prince Enrico eventually became the eyesore of the empress.

One day, in front of the princess, the prince died of blood.

The princess watched right in front of her as the prince’s tiny body twisted in agony.

They say the cookies contain poison.

The lady-in-waiting of the princess was arrested and imprisoned.

The person who investigated and directed the case was an aide to the empress.

Still, the emperor, who had been visiting other concubines at one time, began visiting the princess’s residence again because of that.

By seeing the emperor’s face, it seemed that even the princess would find peace for a while.

Even though the princess was pregnant, unlike last time, the emperor diligently moved to her side.

Until the baby girl was born, the Emperor’s love seemed to come back.

In retrospect, the emperor was only what the son possessed by magical powers wanted.

When the daughter was born, the emperor’s steps were cut short, and the princess’ confusion began.

The princess forgot that she had a daughter.

Since then, this little mansion has become a forgotten place, with no one to seek.

Neither the emperor nor the empress cared about the abandoned concubine anymore.

Trapped in a lonely mansion, the nanny’s little princess always waits for her Majesty and searches for the figure of her beloved son.

‘My poor princess.’

I hope that a slave child wearing a silver necklace can soothe Bhimama’s heart a little.

The nanny was dragged away by the empress and laid on the bed, unable to move properly after being beaten.

‘Please, may peace dwell in the heart of my princess…’

As she offered her little daily prayers to God, the nanny closed her eyes.
