Royal Secret: I'm A Princess!

HMM.

After getting permission from the goddess, Neoma held Genevieve’s hand and observed it.

Yeah, that physical body was nothing but a vessel.

However, the Malice around it was real.

Which means that if I purify it here, it should work on Aunt Genevieve’s real body.

”Can you do it, Little Mona?”

Pfft.

That was the first time someone called Neoma by that pet name.

I don’t hate it, though.

”My name is Neoma, but I don’t mind if you call me that way, Auntie,” Neoma said, smiling. ”Do I look like my mother?”

”Yes, a lot.”

”I’m happy to hear that. I often hear that I look like my father, so it makes me happy that someone finally said that I look like my mother.”

Genevieve scoffed. ”I don’t recognize Nikolai de Moonasterio as a human being. So, naturally, you can’t look like someone who doesn’t exist in my world. That’s why you are ’Little Mona’ to me.”

Neoma burst out laughing.

How funny.

Aunt Genevieve seriously hates Papa Boss, which means she cares a lot about Mama Boss.

Sure, most gods often pissed her off.

But gods like Genevieve made it worthwhile.

”To answer your question, yes, I can fix your arm, Auntie,” Neoma said cheerfully. ”You may be using a vessel, but the Malice around your arm is real. So, if I purify it here, it will still have the same effect on your real body.”

Genevieve looked relieved after hearing that. ”Alright. Say it, then.”

”Say what, Auntie?”

”Tell me the price of fixing my arm.”

”Oh, let’s talk about it after I purified the Malice.”

”How do you plan to do it?” Genevieve asked curiously. The goddess didn’t seem like she was doubting Neoma— she just looked curious. ”I haven’t met a human yet who can purify Malice.”

”It’s because you haven’t met me before, Auntie,” Neoma said smugly, smiling. ”I’ll eat the Malice.”

”Excuse me?”

”I’m going to eat Malice~”

Genevieve looked horrified. ”Why would you eat that?!”

”Don’t fret the details, Auntie.”

Neoma then opened her mouth, absorbing the Malice.

”MONA, look at my arm!”

Oh.

Mona almost had a heart attack when Genevieve suddenly appeared before her while she was brewing a potion that could help Nero regain his Mana fast.

She wasn’t alone when the goddess appeared.

Nikolai was there, already frowning at Genevieve.

Ah, right.

Nikolai and Genevieve don’t get along well.

”Little Mona fixed it for me!”

Hmm?

”’Little Mona?’” Mona asked, and then she laughed softly. ”Is that what you call my daughter?”

”Yes, and she said she didn’t mind. Actually, Little Mona was happy when I said that she looked like you.”

Aww.

”Of course, Neoma looks like me—”

”Neoma is my spitting image, though.”

Haaah.

Nikolai obviously only said that to annoy Genevieve.

I’m sure my husband is happy to hear people say that our daughter looks like me.

”You’re still alive?” Genevieve asked while looking at Nikolai as if she were looking at a bug. ”Why don’t you just drop dead already?”

Nikolai sipped his tea before responding. ”Neoma often says that evil people don’t die early.”

Genevieve scoffed. ”At least, you know that you’re an evil person.”

”Alright, that’s enough,” Mona said, scolding the two before their fight escalated. ”Genevieve, what were you saying again?”

”Oh, right!” Thankfully, Genevieve got distracted and faced Mona while smiling widely. ”Your daughter purified my arm. I can’t believe that she has the power to purify Malice...” The goddess stopped talking and frowned. ”But the way Little Mona purifies Malice is worrying.”

Mona nodded in agreement. ”I wish my daughter stops eating harmful things.”

”NERO, how long are you going to sleep?” Neoma asked while sitting on the chair next to the bed, watching her twin brother sleep on the bed peacefully. ”I’m already bored.”

Of course, she was worried about Nero.

But she knew that her twin brother wasn’t waking up because his body needed to recover first.

Having said that, she still couldn’t help but feel anxious because it reminded her of the time Nero had fallen into a comatose state when they were children.

I don’t want that to happen again.

Neoma was about to hold Nero’s hand to share some of her divine power with him when, suddenly, there was a sudden shift in the air.

She wasn’t the only one sprang to action immediately.

Sev and Zeru— Nero’s ice wolf and ice phoenix respectively— suddenly came out.

So did Sanford Devon and Raku, two of the emperor’s knights.

”Hey, calm down— I’m not here to fight.”

Neoma saw the talking ball of light that appeared in front of her...

... and immediately set it on fire.

”ARGH! HOW DARE YOU BURN ME DOWN? DE MOONASTERIOS ARE TRULY EVIL INCARNATE!”

”I’m glad you know,” Neoma said, raising her hand to silently tell Nero’s knights to drop their weapons. ”I’ve got this, so return to your post.”

Sandford Devon and Raku immediately bowed their heads before leaving the room quietly.

It wasn’t like Nero’s knights were easy to boss around.

Nero just gave them the order to treat my words as his words.

Anyways, Sev and Zeru remained on either side of Nero.

Neoma didn’t ask the Soul Beasts to return.

After all, she didn’t trust that ball of light, even though it wasn’t exuding hostility.

You never know.

”AHH I’M DYING!”

”No, you’re not. You’re just being dramatic,” Neoma said, scoffing. ”So, who sent you here? Judging by how you were able to go past the palace’s barrier, you’re probably a divine being.”

”YOU KNOW AND YOU STILL SET ME ON FIRE?”

”Hey, I don’t discriminate. I’ll burn anyone or anything that comes close to my defenseless, vulnerable baby twin brother.”

”I FREAKING HATE YOU!”

”So what? I fucking hate you, too.”

The ball of light just ”screamed” and, as soon as it did, the red flame swallowing it disappeared.

Oh, wow.

That little damn thing extinguished my flame easily, huh?

”I am just here to fetch the final list of your Battle Representatives from you, Princess Neoma Roseheart de Moonasterio!”

Aha,

Neoma smiled, shrugging. ”Then you should have started with that, silly.”
