Royal Secret: I'm A Princess!

Chapter 643 - 643 FIVE YEARS AGO (5)

643 FIVE YEARS AGO (5)

“SO, WE’RE going on a date tomorrow?”

“It’s not a date, and it will turn into your funeral if you don’t stop annoying me,” Neoma said to Trevor. Then she leaned against the balcony railing. “The adults are trying to get rid of me tomorrow. I’m sure they’re up to no good.”

From her spot on the balcony, she could see Mama Boss and Papa Boss in the living room while watching an old Korean movie.

Yes, it was an action film where Won-shik appa was the main lead.

[Mama Boss looks impressed, but Papa Boss is obviously annoyed. Aunt Nichole is pretty evil for downloading all Won-shik appa’s Korean dramas and movies for my parents to watch.]

“Well, I’m sure the one who’s up to no good is Emperor Nikolai,” Trevor said as if he was amused. “I bet he’d pick a fight with Gavin Quinzel tomorrow.”

She turned to the demon boy who was standing beside her. “Will appa and Nabi be discharged from the hospital tomorrow?”

“They can’t be discharged yet because the doctors wanted to observe their condition for a few more days,” Trevor explained. “But it would be easy to sneak out of the hospital if Gavin Quinzel wanted to.”

“Have they completely recovered?”

.....

“Uh-huh,” he said. “Nabi’s soul fits perfectly in her vessel since she owns that body in the first place. She just needs time for her soul to sync well with your memories.”

“Huh? MY memories? What does it mean?”

“Nabi will absorb the memories that you had while you were living in her body,” Trevor explained. “She will also gain all the skills that you learned before. It’s similar to muscle memory.”

“Oh, I see.”

“Is there a particular memory that you don’t want to share with Nabi? I can erase it for you,” he offered. “We can just say that Nabi lost her memories as a side-effect of being in a coma for a long time.”

“I really don’t mind sharing my memories with Nabi because it can help her navigate her new life easily,” she said. “But I’ll understand if she wants to start in a clean slate, so let’s ask her later.”

“Okay.”

“So, we’re going to meet this Mr. Kim tomorrow,” she said. “Do I have an outfit that screams “I’m a mafia?””

“Of course, we didn’t prepare an outfit that will make our royal princess look like a mafia princess.”

She clicked her tongue, annoyed. “I hope there’s a pink blazer in my wardrobe.”

“Wearing something pink won’t make you look like a mafia, you know?” he said. “Uncle Min and his men always wore black.”

“Is that so?” she said, nodding. “I’ll still wear pink, though.”

Trevor just laughed. “I’m sure you’d look lovely in pink, my Moon Princess.”

“Naturally,” she agreed, then she turned to him. “Trevor, how long will it take you to create a communication device that will allow us to contact my people in the other world?”

“The Guardian of the Door that we fixed is a little stingy,” he said. “But I think I can convince him to allow us to create a link between this world and the other one. Even so, in order to not attract unwanted attention from other beings in this world, I guess we can only use one communication device at the moment.”

“I see. That’s already helpful.”

“Should I link the communication device to Lewis Crevan?”

“Connect it to Ruto.”

“Excuse me?”

“Why are you reacting that way?”

“Shouldn’t you contact Lewis instead of the damned chef?” Trevor complained, sulking. “Lewis is your “son.” And now that you’re temporarily gone, he’s the one in charge of leading your other “children.””

“Lewis already knows what to do since I taught him what to do if I suddenly disappeared,” she explained. “Plus, Paige is there. The kids will be fine even without my direct supervision.”

“Then the damned chef would be fine, too.”

“I know that, duh,” she said. “Ruto is just SLIGHTLY stronger than me, so I’m sure he’ll be fine.”

“Then why…?”

“Because I need Ruto to move in my stead,” she explained, crossing her arms over her chest. “Before we left, Ruto said that he’ll protect my children’s memories. But there are other people I need to remember me.”

“And those are…?”

“First, Jasper oppa.”

It was a shame that Jasper Hawthorne didn’t follow her children to the place where she was “abducted” even though her oppa just worked with some of her children before that incident.

“I need Jasper oppa to do some work for me,” she said. “The crows have won this time since they were able to kick me out of the empire. It won’t be easy for me to return to the empire as the royal princess.”

“You’re still thinking of going back?”

“Of course,” she said, raising an eyebrow at Trevor. “That much should be obvious. Did you think we’d abandon Nero? And my children?”

“I was hoping you would.”

“Crazy bastard,” she said. “I will return for Nero and my people once I could. For now, I have to use my people to control the thing that the current royal family wouldn’t be able to touch.”

“And that would be…?”

“The economy,” she said. “The direct members of the royal family aren’t allowed to run private businesses. That’s the thing that prevented me from becoming a modern businesswoman in the empire. But I can do that now.”

“Ah, now I know why you need Jasper Hawthorne,” Trevor said, nodding. “House Hawthorne is one of the wealthiest noble households in the empire.”

“Yeah. Jasper oppa and Hanna need to be business partners. After all, the Quinzels are arguably the richest family in the empire.”

The demon boy tilted his head to one side. “My Moon Princess, it’s not even a day since we left the other world. And yet your big brain is already working really hard.”

“Oh, you didn’t know?”

“Hmm?”

“One of my fallback plans is to run away to this world with my loved ones,” she said in a serious tone. “Hence, I made Plan B-Z if ever I decided to leave the empire. But I’m aware that I can’t bring everyone with me, so I thought of ways to help the ones who would be unfortunately left behind in the empire. That’s why I came up with the plan to help them control the economy of the empire in order to stop the royal family from acting up.”

He whistled as if he was impressed. “I love a lady who has Plan B-Z.”

“I love myself, too.”

Trevor laughed, then he suddenly stopped and clutched his head tight. “Argh.”

“What’s wrong, Trevor?” she asked worriedly. “A headache?”

He shook his head. “My new “father” just sent me a message.”

“What did Uncle Dominic say?”

Since Aunt Nichole became a macaroni now, that made Dominic Zavaroni her uncle.

[And Uncle Dominic gave me permission to address him as such.]

Trevor blushed for some reason. “He told me not to go home for tonight.”

Oh?

Oh.

[OHH.]

She fanned her hands on her face when she remembered how Uncle Dominic looked at her Aunt Nichole before the two left the apartment.

If her hunch was correct, Uncle Dominic was jealous of Mr. Kim Min.

[My years of experience as a smut reader tells me they’re gonna have a spicy night– no, brain, no! STAHP!]

It was weird to think about her aunt and uncle.

“Anyway, do you think Emperor Nikolai will let me stay the night here?” Trevor asked. “Should I act cute in front of the emperor?”

“Sure. Try it,” Neoma said, patting Trevor’s shoulder. “If you want Papa Boss to kick you out, that is.”

***

TWIN PIGTAILS.

Plaid puff sleeve crop blazer in pink, white turtleneck shirt, plaid pleated skirt in pink, white lace-up ankle boots.

Neoma twirled in front of Trevor. “Do I look like a mafia now?”

“Not at all,” Trevor said, smiling. “You look like an elite student who goes to a private school for the rich, my Moon Princess.”

She put on her oversized sunglasses. “Close enough.”

The demon boy just laughed.

[To be honest, Trevor is the one who looks like he came out of a W*ttpad mafia story.]

Trevor wore a black turtleneck shirt under a black trench coat, black pants, and black shoes. His outfit was pretty simple, but he carried it well because of his handsome face.

“Aren’t you going to say goodbye to Emperor Nikolai and Lady Roseheart?”

Right now, the two of them were in her bedroom.

Trevor was allowed inside because they had to use a portal to get to Mr. Kim Min’s office. And the demon boy put the portal in her room so she could use it anytime she wanted.

.....

[His power as a Sorcerer is really convenient.]

Thank goodness they could still use their power in this world.

“Princess Neoma?”

That snapped her back to reality. “Mama Boss already knew that we’re leaving, and I avoided Papa Boss because he’d get upset again if he saw my outfit.”

Aunt Nichole and Uncle Dominic didn’t join them for breakfast.

Trevor tried to call the two, but none of them was answering.

[Obviously, Aunt Nichole and Uncle Dominic are still… busy.]

Ahem, ahem.

Anyway, after breakfast, she took a bath and chose an outfit for today’s excursion.

Trevor was allowed to use the guest room last night, and he got ready by borrowing the clothes that were supposed to be for Nero.

[The guest room was also reserved for my baby brother.]

“I see,” Trevor said, interrupting Neoma’s thoughts. “Then shall we go?”

“Lezzgo, couz.”

He knitted his eyebrows. “‘Couz?'”

“Short for ‘cousin.'”

“Excuse me?”

“Aunt Nichole and Uncle Dominic adopted you,” Neoma said with a straight face. She was teasing Trevor, but she wanted to look indifferent while doing so. “Doesn’t that make you my cousin, Trevor oppa?”

Trevor covered his ears with his hands as if he didn’t want to hear it. “Nooo!”

Hehe.

***

“FACE, pass. Sleeve tattoos, pass. Nice body, pass. Gosh, ahjussi. I like your style.”

Trevor held back his laughter while watching Uncle Min get flustered while Princess Neoma, a thirteen-year-old girl in everyone’s eyes, was openly checking him out.

[Princess Neoma can’t really control herself every time she sees good-looking people…]

As soon as they appeared in Uncle Min’s office (fortunately, he was alone there), Princess Neoma checked him out from head to toe.

Well, it looked like the royal princess was simply checking the Korean mafia out.

But Trevor could tell by Princess Neoma’s sharp eyes that she was looking at the man’s “vibes.”

[It’s similar to Mana.]

“I’m looking respectfully, ahjussi,” Princess Neoma said. “Please don’t mind me. I’m just checking if we can trust you, and so far, you pass the vibe check.”

“Trevor.”

“Yes, Uncle Min?”

Uncle Min pointed at Neoma with his thumb. “This kid is pretty weird.”

Princess Neoma looked offended.

Trevor, once again, laughed.

[This day is going to be so interesting.]

But, oh.

Trevor suddenly remembered what he did before leaving the house with Princess Neoma…

[Emperor Nikolai won’t kill Gavin Quinzel, right…?]
