Lord Baby Runs A Romance Fantasy With Cash [EN]: Chapter 314

☆ Chapter 314 ☆

How could the timing be so perfect?

Sid looked at me, his eyes softening into a gentle curve.

Seeing that made my heart flutter and put me in a good mood.

I smiled slightly—

“Wow…….”

“Seriously…….”

From the side, Jasmine and Tyriel sighed as if they were dumbfounded.

“Why?”

“It’s nothing.”

“Ugh, really.”

They even shook their heads.

I gave them a puzzled look, but Claudia joined in, and the three of them turned their backs to me, whispering among themselves.

“Did you see him staring at Raphael the whole time, then quickly pretending not to when Lulu turned around?”

“And then acting all innocent, pretending it was a chance encounter. Like it’s fate.”

“He’s such a fox.”

“He’s more serious about seducing Lulu than anyone else.”

They were chattering away, but I couldn’t hear a word they were saying.

It felt a little sad that they were talking only among themselves, excluding me.

I made a sulky face, and someone gently touched my shoulder.

“Sir Taisel!”

“Greetings, Your Holiness.”

Sir Taisel, dressed in full uniform, gave me a dashing greeting and winked slyly.

From the side, I could see the young ladies exclaiming, “Kyaa!”

For reference, Sir Taisel had received formal knighthood and was now more often referred to as ‘Sir’ rather than ‘Young Lady’.

“You’re still very popular.”

“Isn’t it because of your beautiful Holiness, not me?”

“Oh my? When did you become so good with words?”

“I mean it.”

Sir Taisel chuckled.

A cool older sister is always right, so I felt good.

“I saw you fighting that day, Sir. I almost fell for your bravery.”

“That’s a shame. I wish you had fallen for me instead of almost falling.”

Ugh, no wonder this sister has so many followers.

“What. You only almost fell for Taisel?”

“We fought hard that day too.”

With welcoming voices, the Asheltein twins each hooked an arm around mine.

“Yes, I saw. I was wondering why you brought explosives to the wedding.”

That’s right.

These incorrigible Asheltein twins showed off tremendous firepower that day, throwing alchemically-made bombs at the monsters and demons.

“Hey, we always carry those around.”

“You never know when an emergency might happen, right?”

What kind of situation requires bombs?

“And… that wedding was annoying, you know.”

“It sucked.”

‘…These people weren’t planning a bomb attack at the Crown Prince’s wedding, were they?’

I choose to believe they weren’t.

“Anyway, we were quite helpful that day, right?”

“That’s true.”

“We did well, didn’t we?”

“Yes, well.”

At my words, the twins’ faces brightened.

“Then can I have just one strand of your hair? Even if it’s already fallen out.”

“I just want one nail clipping.”

“…….”

Why are there only strange people around me?

* * *

“In this moment of absolute crisis threatening the survival of humanity, many have stepped forward, risking their lives for their families, lovers, friends, and the Empire. I am proud and honored.”

The Emperor’s words rang out sternly.

“Among them, there was one who stood at the forefront, taking charge of the chaos—”

At the same time as the Emperor paused slightly, the doors that reached the ceiling opened.

“Luatisha Paeraton.”

I walked down the red silk path.

In the middle of the silk path, my favorite flowers were laid out.

I knew who had laid the flower path, so I smiled.

‘Sid.’

When I walked up to the Emperor, he opened his mouth.

“From a young age, you developed a cure for the Black Death, saving countless citizens of the Empire, and now you have once again saved this country from the hands of a false god.”

“…….”

“If it weren’t for you, the Empire—no, the world beyond the Empire would not have survived.”

The Emperor looked at me with serious eyes.

“As Emperor, and as a human being, I express my deep gratitude to Luatisha Paeraton, and hereby award the Imperium Belex Gold Medal.”

“……!”

At the name of the revealed medal, the onlookers stirred.

In fact, dozens of newspaper articles had been pouring out about what medal I would receive today.

“Oh my goodness, the Imperium Belex Gold Medal…!”

“Hasn’t that medal only been awarded twice in history?”

“Once to a founding contributor, and once to a hero who had a decisive impact on the return to the capital in a fallen situation.”

“Of course, the Princess Consort is more than deserving, but since it’s been awarded so rarely, I thought she would receive something else.”

“Honestly, who else would receive it if not our Holy Maiden?”

Amid the murmurs, the Empress smiled brightly and pinned the medal on my chest.

I looked at the medal swaying heavily on my chest.

It was sparkling and very pretty.

It wasn’t just pretty.

‘I heard that this medal comes with tremendous benefits.’

They say that a booklet is made and delivered with how many benefits there are.

“Congratulations, dear. Thank you so much.”

The Empress’s whispering voice made me realize that I had been awarded.

It felt a little awkward and bashful to be standing in front of everyone and receiving such praise.

It wasn’t like I did it to be praised, but…….

‘It feels good to have my efforts and contributions properly recognized.’

Just as I was about to turn around, the Emperor opened his mouth first.

“Also, I award the Manus Military Medal.”

Oh? Again?

‘Well, I did beat them up quite a bit. It’s possible to give a military medal separately, I guess?’

I’m not sure.

This time, the Pope smiled and pinned another medal on my chest.

“As expected of our Holiness.”

“Next is the Ordinatio Administrative Medal.”

Again?!

My father pinned a medal on me and kissed me on the forehead.

Hehe.

“Egregium Medal.”

This time, Duke Delbartren.

“Patuna Rosa Medal.”

This was Duke Iscamil.

After repeating that several times, my chest was full of medals.

‘How long is this going to last…?!’

Aren’t they giving too many?

“And finally, I award the Saintess Luatisha Medal.”

Excuse me?

What medal?

“Oh my! It’s the Saintess Luatisha Medal. A new medal has been created!”

“Indeed. A commendable achievement.”

The chattering voices of the noble ladies confirmed it for me.

It is common to create medals of honor or awards named after martyrs, saints, or people who have left great achievements.

Isn’t that what they do on Earth too?

But since it’s me—

‘How embarrassing!’

To receive a medal named after me……?

Sid pinned the medal on my chest.

Seeing the pink gold, which symbolizes me, and the Paraiba [a type of neon blue gemstone] embedded in it, made me even more embarrassed.

“Congratulations.”

Sid handed me a bouquet of flowers and smiled.

Hmm.

Who said beauty saves the world?

Looking at Sid’s handsome face holding the flowers, the embarrassment seemed to fade a little.

‘Well, since it’s a newly created medal, the benefits must be enormous.’

It has to be.

When I went out to the balcony, I could see the people gathered densely in the square below.

The people who saw me shouted and cheered.

“Waaaaaah!”

“Long live Your Holiness!”

“Long live Princess Paeraton!”

There were so many people gathered that I couldn’t see the ground.

Not only the square but also beyond it, people were creating waves.

Not only the capital but also from all over the Empire and even overseas, they came up for today.

To celebrate and express gratitude for the achievements I have made.

“Luatisha Paeraton!”

The voice calling my name.

Well, how should I put it?

When I was young, I didn’t even know my name.

I found out my name, my birthday, and whether I was the real daughter of my real mom and dad too late.

But now, hearing my name echoing so loudly that my ears were ringing—

I didn’t know what to call this feeling that was rushing into my heart, so I smiled.

Overcoming all difficulties and growing up, I finally save the world with the people I love.

Looking back, the life I’ve been running hard is literally a romance fantasy itself, isn’t it?

It’s also a pretty cool, tightly closed happy ending that I like.

People waved at me and shouted.

“When are you getting married, Princess?”

“You’re marrying Prince Sidrian, right?”

“No! Our Princess will live with the Duke for ten thousand years!”

“Our Princess must stay in the Paeraton territory!”

No, why these questions all of a sudden?

They shouted with so much force in their stomachs that I could hear them clearly even though they were shouting from below.

Hmm.

Come to think of it, the tightly closed ending doesn’t seem to be here yet.

Because the scene I was most looking forward to when I watched romance fantasy hasn’t come out yet.

* * *

The investiture ceremony was immediately followed by a banquet.

The members of , Mrs. Sheruin, and Grand Duchess Crophel congratulated me.

“As expected of our Princess. I honestly think it’s not enough even if you give all the medals.”

“Our Princess, my foot. When did you see her so much? I’ve been seeing the Princess since she was four years old.”

“Hmph, showing off.”

Seeing Duke Delbartren bickering with Grand Duchess Crophel made me laugh.

As expected, they had been arch-enemies since they were young, and it seemed to be the same even now that they were old.

“We did see the Princess first.”

“And we recognized the Princess’s brilliance from then on.”

Duke Iscamil and Marquis Sherodel sided with Duke Delbartren.

These three people were also the same as when I first saw them.

The number of nobles was inevitably reduced due to what happened on the wedding day.

Unfortunately, some were murdered, but the majority were people who were corrupted by the cult and turned into monsters.

Fortunately, most of the people who were close to me were fine, probably because they didn’t fall into the cult.

“Haa, you’ve grown up so much.”

“It feels like just yesterday that you were speaking so clearly the first day I saw you.”

“And you’ve grown up so wonderfully.”

“As the president of , I’ve watched all of your activities, but I still think, ‘When did she grow up so much?'”

It was then.

“Why are you guys tearing up? She’s my granddaughter.”

Grandfather frowned and stood right next to me.

“Geez, showing off that she’s your granddaughter.”

“If you’re jealous, get a granddaughter like mine. Of course, there will never be another child like my granddaughter in the world.”

Grandfather raised the corners of his mouth arrogantly.

“It’s only natural that there’s no daughter like my daughter before or after.”

Father stepped forward next to me and said.

“Because she’s my sister.”

“My cotton ball is my cotton ball.”

“My youngest.”

My family looked at the other people while hugging me proudly.

‘How embarrassing.’

Why is the embarrassment always my share?

At that moment,

“Then—”

A low voice dug into my ear.

“Should I call you my wife?”

Sid smiled, holding my hand.

The universe-like purple eyes narrowed slightly.

“I like being lovers, but I’m starting to want to give you another name.”

I stared blankly at Sid.

‘Am I understanding this correctly?’

“Oh my, that’s a great idea. Isn’t it, dear?”

The Empress clapped her hands and asked me.

Sid brushed my hair back and whispered.

“If we get married, let’s sleep together every night and wake up together every morning. I’ll bring you coffee and brunch in bed in the morning. You drink coffee every morning, Master.”

In an instant, the image of Sid handing me coffee in the morning sunlight flashed through my mind.

His hair and clothes were disheveled because it was morning, and his expression was much more relaxed than usual, and his voice was low—

‘Ugh!’

Blood rushed to my nose.

“Wh-who said I’d marry you?”

I shouted for no reason.

Besides, to bring up marriage so vaguely like this!

“You won’t?”

Sid tilted his head slightly and looked up at me.

Looking into those eyes—

‘Ugh…!’

Thump, thump.

My heart kept pounding.

“I won’t.”

I turned my head away and drove the wedge in again, feeling like I was being dragged in.

“Never.”

“Then I’ll have to work hard.”

Sid smiled and grabbed my cheek.

Sid’s face was full in front of my eyes.

It’s harmful.

This beauty is too harmful to the heart.

If I keep going like this, my nose will bleed—no, my heart will explode, so I closed my eyes tightly.

I felt Sid’s face getting closer.

I didn’t open my eyes or turn my head.

But.

“Okay, that’s enough.”

Grandfather blocked the space between my face and Sid’s face.

“I think my sister just said she’s not marrying His Highness the Prince?”

Ares smiled coldly and took me out of Sid’s arms.

‘Oh! Come to think of it, my family was all next to me.’

Not only my family but also other people were watching us.

‘I’m crazy! What were you trying to do in front of everyone!’

I looked around.

‘Where’s Dad?’

I have to fix it before he gets too angry at Sid—

“…My daughter closed, closed her eyes…….”

Hmm.

He seemed to be in deep shock.

Father looked like he was going to cry rather than get angry.

‘Should I say it’s fortunate or not?’

I couldn’t get a grasp on it when I heard a tsk, tsk sound.

When I turned around, Camellia was shaking her head.

“…It’s so frustrating. Just do as much as you’ve seen in the books, please.”

“…….”

Who showed her 15-gold novels [referring to mature romance novels]!

Oh, it was me.

* * *

The Emperor grabbed the back of his neck.

The contributions of the Paeraton ducal family are beyond words.

So he was prepared to grant them whatever they asked for.

But.

“No, what nonsense are you talking about, Duke Paeraton!”

The Emperor raged.

“Are you saying you’re going to make the Crown Prince live with his in-laws?!”
