These days, the imperial palace was preparing for the birthday feast of the youngest prince.
In line with this, I asked Axion to ask The Emperor if I could meet him.
I spoke softly, cooling Axion's burning earlobe with my cold fingertips.
"But if it's a difficult request, you don't have to listen to it. I mean it."
Anyway, there is another way to learn about the emperor. I need to go back a little bit.
However, Axion shook his head wide.
I was worried that his neck would fall off because he was shaking his head so strongly.
"No!"
Oh, my ears.
I lowered the hand that had cooled Axion's red ear and pressed it against my ear.
"I love it so much! I was going to invite Mel to our family gathering!"
He's so excited that I'm crushed to the end of my speech.
I thought he would either refusing or nod his head.
However, I didn't expect such a happy reaction.
'············This kid, is up to something for me?'
Even though he received my gaze full of doubt, Axion smiled broadly as he set his sullen eyes on me.
"Wow, as expected Meld...... yes, I got it! Let's go together! I'll introduce you to my handsome brother and His Majesty father! His Majesty is sick, but......"
"Really?"
"Yes, we're going to eat together to celebrate my birthday party!"
The timeline in the original didn't seem to have been broken at all.
I nodded and arranged Axion's curly hair.
The way the child thought of me was always warm.
"Yes, thank you."
"No!"
Axion hugged me tightly and glanced at the morning newspaper on the table.
It was a newspaper with a lot of writing about my excommunication.
"That... you know, Mel."
"Huh?"
"I don't mind if Mel is not a noble. Really!
In an era when the distinction between nobles and commoners is severe, Axion's remarks impressed me enough.
"Thank you, Xion. I'm fine."
Axion pouted his little bird beak-like mouth forward.
"Those people are bad. They don't think of Mel as family. I can't help but feel hurt by an affair man!"
I gently wrapped my arms around Axion's shoulder.
The child looked upset, but fortunately, I could feel the sparkling power in his eyes.
"But it's okay, Mel. You can be my family!"
He spoke so naturally that I almost forgot the implications of those words.
"······Huh?"
Even if it was a joke, I was going to say that he shouldn't say that, but Axion opened his eyes wide.
"I'm going to ask my father to adopt Mel!"
"Adoption····?"
What are you talking about?
"Ko kohok."
The last word is the sound of Dominic's breathing, who was listening to the conversation between the two of us.
The situation was so funny that he was smiling while holding the newspaper and covering his face. I could see it all.
Axion, who looked at Dominic with his fluke eyes, shook his head again and talked to himself quietly.
"If we adopt, my brother and I... Hyuu, that's not going to work."
The child drooped and whispered.
"I, Well, when I become a Grand Prince, I will give Mel the title of nobility!"
The child clenched his fists and slammed forward.
"Just wait twenty years!"

I couldn't help but smile when I saw the boy looking at me with eyes full of love.
"Thank you, I'll be waiting for you. Should I grow up to look cool?"
"Yeah! Don't worry about that. You're still pretty cool!"
I stroked Axion's head.
I was just about to ask you to go to the Imperial Palace with me, but I didn't even consider that Prince Axion would be hurt when he found out about my excommunication.
To a child who is still innocent, it may be seen as being cast out.
'But I can't tell Axion about the circumstances of adults.'
"When should we go?"
"Umm, come with me! You must also bring a present for his Majesty my father!"
I stroked Axion's head.
'If it becomes known that I entered the Imperial Palace with Axion, there may be a riot among the luxurious nobles.'
You might think I'm messing around to undo the excommunication.
Who cares. Feel free to talk. That side will be more helpful to me in the future.
"Mel, if you're tired, you can hold my hand and cry!"
Axion laughed, hehe.
The place of the belatedly missing fangs, which I hadn't seen, looked pouty.
'Cute.'
The lovely prince has always been helping me.
"I should prepare a present for your Majesty."
Axion, who was scratching near his chin, replied with sparkling eyes.
"Aah, my father, his Majesty likes healthy food. Eat anything that's good for your health."
"Oh, right. And?"
"Umm······ He likes sweet things, but he can't eat well because of the advice of the Imperial Palace."
I hesitated a little.
It was because she felt a sense of giddiness in the word referring to the Emperor.
'Damn your father. Not the emperor, but completely...... Like your friend's father......?'
Suddenly, I remembered my friends' fathers who I knew before I became possessed.
He like healthy juices and eats red ginseng every day, yet he cries at the thought of his belly sticking out......
A soft-hearted person who gets scratches when he or she is told that he or she needs to go on a diet.
No, I don't think so. Still, how could the emperor of a country do that?
Although there was a description of warmth in the original, he is still the emperor of the whole country.
I looked at Axion and nodded seriously.
"Okay."
I stroked Axion's head and said, "Thank you."
"No, Mel. I'm more thankful!"
·······This little boy, what are you thankful for?
I struggled to suppress my anxiety and stroked my hair.
Axion smiled and clenched then opened his fist like a jam. I don't know, but he seemed nervous.
"Can you give me an hour? I think I need to prepare a present."
"Yes, I'll do my homework and come back later! I'll get ready and come back!"
Axion left with a lively wave.
The stationery store door closed again.
'So now, I have to make something to give to the emperor......'
Something special that can save his memories and that he would like.
At the same time, something unique that only I can make.
Others will give something very noble and beautiful, but what's better than that is something that can evoke his warm nostalgia.
I sighed and pressed my boiling head on the table hard.
What on earth should I give to the emperor? Healthy food? No.......
'I can't organize my thoughts.'
I spoke seriously to Dominic with my face down.
"What are the tastes of middle-aged adults who are like the Emperor."
"Adult's hobby?"
"Yeah, people who have lived a long time. Is there anyone like that? I want to ask..."
Dominic shook his head with a puzzled expression.
I looked at him and smiled the same way. Because I didn't quite understand why he was doing that.
"Why are you looking for it from afar?"
"···· Oooh?"
"I'm here."
I thought as I saw the magic sword shrugging his shoulders.
Come to think of it, he lived for a long time, right? I forgot because his face looked so young.
I grabbed Dominic's hand.
I felt him twitch at my tremendous momentum. But without taking his hand away, Dominic asked, looking to the side.
His ears were red as if they were bursting.
"········I, I vow my chastity-."
"You are. Okay. Go ahead and tell me. What's your favorite thing?"
I decided to question Dominic.
Dominic looked at me and began to lick his lips.
"I....... Good for your health."
'It's kind of weird for you to say something good for your health with an youthful face.'
"Come on, tell me everything you like."
I brought my notebook and began to take notes on Dominic's words.
After hearing about the tastes coming out of his mouth and thinking about it, I immediately put down the fountain pen.
After taking notes about Dominic's taste for over a dozen minutes, I now understand.
"Dominic."
"Yeah."
"You're such an old man. ·······. From medicinal herbs that improve health, to alcohol containing honey......"
Dominic's gaze shook.
I smiled and looked at him.
"Is this enough? Is there anything else that middle-aged men might like...."
Hearing my self-talk, Dominic snapped his finger as if he remembered something.
I opened my eyes wide and looked at him.
Rarely did Dominic speak so firmly. But he was talking to me seriously now.
"Ah, I had a common wish with middle-aged people in power."
His serious expression aroused curiosity.
"Oh, what's your wish?"
She is a beginner alchemist, but maybe she can fulfill the emperor's wish.
I put a calyx on my chin and stared at Dominic.
Dominic, who became serious mimicked my face and opened his mouth.
"I asked you to improve his energy."
2
"I'll go."
"Where?"
"To find something good for your energy."
Thanks to you, I have a good idea.
A question mark spread across Dominic's face.

Somehow, as if offering a child to the water, he had an anxious face.
These days, the imperial palace was preparing for the birthday feast of the youngest prince.
In line with this, I asked Axion to ask The Emperor if I could meet him.
