3 Chapter 3: Born a Princess 3 (2/2)

In the end, it was best to live a lonely life than to place my hopes on others and live in misery

The Great Ermano Empire's eued his nate hostage that was captured during a confrontation at Deblin Ehter, Mabel, as around a month old

Esteban decided to put aside the Deblin hostage situation for now

'There's nothing more important than Mabel anyways'

The reason that it becah nuhter of the Gods and that they needed to bring her to the holy capital of Abelardo to raise her there

The priests talked of a vision, a prophecy that they saw on the day that Mabel was born and used this as ht, visions"

Esteban gritted his teeth Those priests often ca inside the palace to declare their visions

「At the far east, a seed that will save the world will be sown」

The Great Ermano Empire was located in the far east On the day that Mabel was born, a lightning struck above the palace This matter was known to all Even Esteban, who held Queen Sianna's hand tightly during her labor, heard the sounds of lightning

Though the servants collectively said nothing rong with the princess and all ell, Esteban was not happy

Teeks had passed since Sianna's tragic death She could not handle the pain of childbirth due to her weak constitution Her passing aas a shock and caused hihter that looked similar to his wife, becaift for him

Esteban's expression was sharp and fierce It looked ready to penetrate through the letters the priest sent him

In the end, he ripped it apart

"Ah…"

His aide, atched Estaban at the side, groaned painfully and covered his face with his two hands

Estaban turned his head and looked at the aide, his words cold and piercing

"Tell thehts of reconsideration"

"Yes, of course…"

Esteban planned to ignore the priests's pleas co he would be able to last He's sure the holy capital would send their requests constantly until he gave in

The priests argued that since The Great Ermano Empire had Oscar, the first prince, there would be little chance for Mabel to hold the throne and become queen Therefore, it was acceptable that she be raised in the holy capital instead

In any case, he needed to find a way to stop the holy capital's ongoing persistence to snatch his daughter away from him

The priests be da another letter fro behind the door He looked up and esture at the servant nearby

The servant quickly opened the door

"Ah…!"

A soft cry could be heard
