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

author’s words

I just woke up and checked the comments. I saw a part about him being 5 years old, but I couldn’t find it in this article. Did I say I was five years old somewhere? I’m going to urgently look for the first part, but if there is any part where Rudy is marked as 5 years old, please let me know.

There must have been something wrong with changing the 3-year-old to 4-year-old.

Currently, Rudy is 4 years old (he was born on January 1st, so he is almost 4 years old), and the season has just turned into November.

As will be mentioned later, in this world, on New Year’s Day, everyone turns one year older.

＜ I’m a cute princess ＞

* * *

…Then one day the girl’s father brought a new mother and older sisters.

The girl who had been alone until now was very happy to suddenly have a mother and two older sisters.

But the stepmother and older sisters hated the girl very much. The girl couldn’t even eat regular food every day and cleaned up…

“···princess?”

Rudy stopped talking and looked down.

For some reason, Cinderella is the princess’ favorite story.

With poor pronunciation, I begged for more, more, and repeated it four times already just tonight.

now the fifth.

While he continued to pat him on the back and talk to him, Princess Lilitha fell asleep with her large head pressed against his chest.

Rudy leaned his head against the back of a large chair and gazed at the ceiling.

My neck hurts, and my arms hurt.

Rudy’s knees were so numb that he couldn’t feel them, because even a baby weighed on them.

Even the slightest movement made my legs tingle.

Rudy, who was a man in his previous life, has no experience of raising children.

Rather, when I heard other people who had children complaining about their hardships, I only thought about whether it was really necessary to have children.

If you try to go to bed after working hard, the child wakes up crying, resulting in lack of sleep every day, or because your wife clings only to the child, you have already been a lover for over a year, or you have someone you will be responsible for for the rest of your life, and you are suffocating from the pressure… ·.

When going out to dinner, men often talked about it.

‘···.’

Suddenly, laughter comes out.

When the colleagues who were talking about it drink more, they took out their cell phones and showed the pictures as if they had promised.

This guy is the troublemaker.

While saying that, there was a child with a puzzled expression on the screen. And what follows is not complaining, but bragging about children.

The mouth that had been complaining until a while ago, this time, it says things like calling me dad for the first time not long ago, laughing and laughing when I rode a wooden horse, how strong the pee stem was and the pot was pierced, and so on.

No, if a stream of urine pierces a pot, is that a human?

The other father, who had been laughing loudly while saying that, only let out a dry laugh when he said seriously, “My boy is two years old and he does a hundred push-ups.”

At that time, I did not understand how my colleagues behaved like that.

But I think I know a little bit now.

They’ve been together for about a month, Rudy says this little tomboy princess is cute.

When the princess made an expression that she had won a fight against a grass insect for the first time, she was even somehow proud.

He was horrified when he tried to put it in his mouth right after that, but he wouldn’t be that different from his colleague who boasted of his son’s pee at a drinking party.

Tap, tap, tap… The sound of burning firewood echoes through the quiet building.

Rudy turned his body to the side, being careful not to wake Princess Lilitha.

A small hand landed on the chair.

I wondered if she would wake up, but the princess fell asleep with her mouth slightly open.

It may have been a little cold when Rudy’s body temperature disappeared.

The princess curled up.

Rudy put a blanket over it and patted his back for a while.

Princess Lilitha burrowed into the blanket like a silkworm wrapped in a cocoon and bit her thumb.

After sucking on one side for a while, my lips parted.

After confirming that he was completely asleep, Rudy headed to his desk.

It’s still early in the evening, but Rudy is the only one awake.

Nanny, much older than her years, went upstairs as it got dark, and Bhimama cried and fell asleep.

After meeting Buradov a few days ago, Mama Nadia was back on drugs.

She has barely stabilized, but the nanny hugs her and sheds tears every day, asking what is going on.

That’s how much the princess was neglected… No, was it because she was always alone, wrapped up in her inner self, even when Rudy wasn’t around?

The nanny left Princess Lilitha with Rudy and focused exclusively on Mama Nadia.

To a nanny who has no children, Nadia Bhimama seems to be the last princess she raised and the child of her heart.

The prince and princess, who had been raised by their nanny until now, moved away from their nanny when they reached a certain age, but Nadia Mama, who came to a foreign country alone, has only her.

That, the nanny said, was probably why she loved Mama Nadia all the more.

So, was it a coincidence that the eyes of the nanny, who said she hated everything that bothered Bhimama, turned to the princess at first glance?

Rudy shook his head to clear his thoughts.

The firebird trembled its wings as it sat on the desk on the back of the chair.

“Is it hard?”

“…”

A weaker response than usual came back to Rudy’s question. Less vibration of air.

This is a fact that I learned after installing the security camera, but what was implemented with My Ink requires magic injection at fairly frequent intervals.

In the case of the security camera, it only lasted about two or three days.

I had never consciously given mana to the firebird, so I didn’t know.

However, it seems that the phoenix replenished its mana every time it touched his body.

This time, the Phoenix is testing how long it can survive without Rudy’s magic.

Repressing the desire to reach out and touch him, Rudy asked again.

“Do you think it will disappear?”

“…”

The firebird shook its head slightly, then nodded again.

“It’s okay now, but you think it won’t be tomorrow?”

“…”

Seeing the phoenix nod, Rudy reached out on the desk.

Put your hand on the parchment on which the magic formula of the phoenix was written and say.

“I’m sorry, it must be painful. Please bear with me a little longer.”

As Rudy’s fingers touched the letters on the parchment, they began to glow softly.

Almost at the same time, the body of the firebird also slightly brightened.

Rudy breathed magic into the parchment for a moment and then let go.

“Now, can you check whether the parchment or the one I gave you has stronger or faster magical powers? If it’s the same, just stay still.”

After confirming that the firebird understood what he was saying, Rudy held out his hand to him.

As the phoenix placed its head on his finger, light emanated from his head.

Maybe because of my mood, it seems to be brighter than when I poured magic on the parchment.

The firebird trembled as if in a good mood and spread its wings wide. As if showing off, slowly lean your upper body forward so that you can see your back.

It was the same movement he had shown when he first made him a peacock.

“Good mood?”

Captive, captive, lights flew and fell in all directions like butterflies. The appearance of the phoenix with narrowed eyes seems to be very happy.

It seems that the fire bird’s mood has also been transmitted to Rudy. For some reason, a laugh came out.

Is it full of magical power?

The firebird removed its head from its fingers and opened its beak wide.

It’s not crying out loud. The firebird was only opening its mouth as if blowing wind.

Strangely, however, the air shuddered and a strange sound rang out in all directions.

Perhaps this is the sound of Pagong that often appears in martial arts novels.

When he came to his senses, the chair Rudy was sitting on and the objects in the building began to tremble.

My ear hurts.

“stop!”

When Rudy spoke strongly, the fire bird shut its mouth in surprise.

The objects that had rattled and trembled a moment ago stopped moving all at once.

Fortunately, the sound didn’t reach the second floor, and Bhimama didn’t wake up from the medicine.

Princess Lilitha muttered something, but fell asleep again.

No one noticed this phenomenon.

Perhaps, when the mana that had been cut off suddenly came back, it seemed that his mood was lifted without realizing it.

The fire bird seemed to realize the mistake only then, and lowered its entire body and buried its head in its wings.

Rudy sighed heavily as he pressed his hand over his decapitated ear.

“I didn’t put a spell like this, but it must be the ability I originally had.”

When I held out my hand, the fire bird flinched and trembled.

“are you okay. I’m not angry. But your abilities can easily kill people. Even I am Marie.”

Rudy gently stroked the fire bird’s neck with his fingers. A tingling sensation moved along the fire bird’s skin. The fact that the end of the words became a little childish because of the surprise is ignoring it.

“You have to be careful. If your ability kills anyone unintentionally, it will be disastrous.”

Still hiding her head under her wings, the firebird nodded in agreement.

“But I think I know for sure now. Mana can be given through parchment, but handing it directly is the most effective and quickest.”

Gururu… As if it was right, the firebird cries silently.

The head was hidden under the wing, but a slight tremor was transmitted throughout the body.

Is it because you don’t vocalize with your throat?

I felt like crying all over my body.

“You have to be careful in the future.”

The firebird slightly poked its head out from under its wings. It looks at Rudy as if round eyes are searching.

When he smiled, the phoenix leaned against him as if he was relieved.

If manastone or mana had the same relationship as batteries and energy, the principle of their operation would be similar to that of Earth.

Just as electricity is consumed by plugging in electrical appliances without using them, useless spells may eat away at mana.

‘how will we do it. I put in various abilities, but would it be better to remove them all?’

Rudy was a little worried, then after the ordering [ ; Power save function activated at all times].

From nob le mt l dot com

Don’t know if this will work But it’s better than not putting it in.

If there is no change in mana consumption even after adding this, let’s remove all but one or two functions.

‘Well, I think it will work.’

But from now on, I think it would be better to create monsters that specialize in one or two abilities rather than aiming for multifunctionality.

After that, I wrote my ink on my body and did some experiments.

The first thing I did was [detoxify].

The ink might have heavy metals in it, but if you can detoxify it you’ll be fine.

‘The question is, is it really possible…’

Rudy gulped at the bowl prepared in advance.

The bowl was full of wine.

Even if you want to test the poison, you can’t eat poison on purpose.

The method that came to my mind was to see if it was possible to drink alcohol and detoxify it.

Rudy took a few sips of wine.

In my previous life, I hadn’t even gone into wine or other alcoholic beverages, but now that I’m a child, after taking a couple of sips, I feel a sense of well-being.

Apparently drunk.

Rudy wrote [Detox] in My Ink on the inside of his thigh.

I couldn’t write with a feather pen, so I dipped my finger in ink and wrote. My skin hurts a little because of the magic stone particles.

Next to the antidote, I wrote “Constant activation”, and after that, I added some supplementary explanations.

One of them was [pain relief].

It would be embarrassing to say that whenever you walk or rub against your clothes, it hurts because of the magic stone particles.

‘Did you write everything down?’

Confirming the order once more, Rudy closed his eyes.

It was more scary than I thought to write something on my body and experiment with it.

Whoa, I exhaled and opened my eyes.

‘Let’s start now.’

I didn’t even put my finger on it, but I had to put magic power in, the moment I thought, the light began to glow softly in the letters.

‘ah!’

In the next moment, I felt sober as if I had never been drunk. Her cheeks, which seemed to be slightly heated, cooled in an instant.

The effect is outstanding.

‘This should be enough to detoxify heavy metals.’

I worry about what if I suddenly die of heavy metal in a year or two, but well, I can’t help it if that happens. I guess it’s fate and accept it.

I still felt the roughness when I touched the magic stone powder, but it didn’t hurt anymore.

The pain relief seems to be working.

‘Maybe something else.’

I pinched my leg a little, but it didn’t hurt.

Try pinching with your fingernail a little harder.

I can feel it, but it still doesn’t hurt. It seems the pain is gone.

‘I’ll have to think about this a bit.’

There was a disease on Earth that felt no pain at all. I have seen that people with such a disease do not even notice when they are severely injured, and in the end suffer even greater injuries.

If you don’t know if you have a broken bone or a burnt finger, even your daily life will be impossible.

I was worried about erasing the message, but it might be useful if you get a wound that needs surgery.

In the end, I decided to add an [on/off] command to the pain relief section and leave it there.

Normally off. I was so scared that I couldn’t leave it as it came.
