DYBAR - Side Story Chapter 1 < Baby Angel Edwin >
Do Your Best And Regret
The Princess's office.
From the ebony wood bookshelf exuding a subtle scent to the ceramics and flowers on the nightstand that combine practicality and aesthetics. There is even a table for simple meetings and a balcony that Edwin decorated himself.
From the moment I became a Princess and I was given this office, I had been waiting for this day when I would begin the innermost affairs.
However...
A knock on the door broke me out of my thoughts, causing me to quickly straighten my posture.
I thought it must be Hannah who brought the decoction. But he is the one who actually opens the door and comes in.
“Edwin!”
“What’s wrong, Liv? What’s going on?”
I obviously called out happily, but Edwin, holding a tray, hurried over with a surprised look on his face. My calling voice was the same as usual, but was there a hint of vainness on my face somewhere?
When I heard his soothing, gentle voice, I couldn't help but complain.
“I thought there was one, but there isn’t.”
“No? No matter what you don’t have, you can just buy it.”
“Work.”
“...Like that.”
I, who had never dreamed that my laughter was barely suppressed by a sigh that seemed to be suppressed somewhere, hesitated and held Edwin's hand.
Only when his familiar arms embraced me did I stick out my lips like a chick's beak and tell me trivial stories.
So today was the morning when government work began.
There was a need to report on the progress of the palace construction and other facilities, but the expressions on the faces of Sobel and Shurn, who had requested an audience, were unusual.
“I apologize, Your Highness. I didn’t think about when Vikander’s frozen ground would thaw, so the arrival of materials will likely be delayed.”
"No. This happened because I failed to calculate the work speed of the workers and divided the order for materials into several batches. The quality of winter limestone was not good, so I got greedy...”
Olivia was saddened to hear their sorrowful voice.
The time when frozen soil melts.
She was missing something. In the northern part of the continent, there is a time before spring is in full swing when the breeze rustles the frozen soil. She had only heard of it, but it was her first time experiencing it.
So she couldn't blame Sobel and Shurn for lowering their heads as if they didn't deserve it.
But it didn't seem to be Winster.
"Ugh. You've been gone from Vikander for several years and you've even forgotten when the frozen ground melts. Vikander's reputation as Chamberlain is beyond words. Chamberlain Sobel Valois.”
Seeing Winster saying something sarcastic, Dean silently tapped him. At the same time, Sobel, who had been lowering her head as if blaming herself, slowly straightened her body.
“... In the future, would it be possible to redirect the manpower overflow from active construction to road construction on frozen ground?”
"Sure. Chief Chamberlain.”
“May I request that His Highness the Prince’s second aide accompany me on this project?”
"What! Sobel, no, Valois Chamberlain!”
Winster, who was laughing, later got scared and called Sobel. But Sobel only has eyes for Olivia, and the second aide, Winster Calter, makes the case for why they should work together.
“Your Highness, I would like to be of help to Your Highness for a moment during this critical time when Your Highness's advisor has not been decided...!”
Winster, who had been at a loss as to what to do since he was appointed as the Prince's second aide, was anxious, but he could not overcome Sobel's bloodshot eyes.
Her Royal Highness-!
Is it soothing or annoying?
Edwin took a deep breath and exhaled at the sound of the call, which was so watery that it was hard to distinguish. The breath that touches her palm must be lukewarm. Olivia was startled and held her small hand.
“It’s daytime now..."
“Is it okay if it’s daytime?”
Despite his extremely languid temptation, hee lovely face turned red and did not respond in any way. Because it's cute and cute.
Edwin lightly bit all of Olivia's fingertips. After seeing her pink fingertips, he slowly intertwined his fingers with hers and said,
“How about taking a break now? Get better physically.”
“I must emphasize this, my physical strength is...!”
Olivia, who was about to shout with her red face, "I'm not going anywhere," changed her words while Edwin lazily licked her lips.
“...With enough rest, a balanced diet, and herbal medicine, you will feel much better.”
Olivia wrinkled her nose as she watched the corners of his handsome mouth turn up. The tip of her finger where he had bitten it felt strangely tingling.
It’s still daytime... Olivia tried to ignore the strange heat spreading throughout her body.
"It's good. Plenty of rest. Still, if Liv is bored, I’ll give you a choice.”
Meanwhile, Edwin spoke in a kind voice.
“Or pamper me without her lifting a finger. Or, just lift a finger and pamper me.”
He said it back, but Olivia chuckled when he told her to work hard.
“How can I control the Prince without lifting a finger?”
“From what I can see, you seem to have a lot of talent, huh?"
His face looked down at Olivia, who he thought was definitely next to her.
His heated eyes bent into half-moon shapes, and then a series of sweet kisses landed on her cheek.
It was a moment before his lips, which were so sweet that her cheeks turned red, gradually moved up and down to the shell of her ear.
Olivia's fingers grew more and more beautiful as she felt the wetness ringing in her ears and his soft touch. Even her breathing was interrupted by the penetrating gaze.
And when Edwin's firm hand, which had been supporting the back of her neck, slid down to the delicate nape of her neck.
Ah... Olivia wrapped her arm around Edwin's neck, as was her habit. Edwin, who was staring at her face as he swallowed dry saliva, muttered with his eyes becoming even darker.
“... Look at this. Non-charge. You can control me without her having to lift a finger.”
“...I used my arm instead of my finger.”
Olivia squeezed her eyes shut because her protest was poor. Soon a wonderful smile poured over her face. A sweet smile spread over the spot where her breathing became intertwined.
There are times when serious concerns are resolved more easily than you think, in unexpected ways. This was the case when Olivia, who was wondering what to do with her spare time, suddenly heard the words in her ears.
“...When you were really young, you looked like a baby angel. Everything cute about you has disappeared.”
Edwin laughed lightly at the King's lament-like words.
“I'm not even six years old, I'm over twenty now, so it’s a big deal if I'm cute. And father, don’t waste time, I’ll take my turn.”
The King, who was excited about playing a card game for the first time in a long time, shook his head at his son's cold-hearted words.
He certainly wasn't like this when he played card games ten years ago.
As the King was reminiscing about his old days, Olivia tilted her head. Then she glanced at Edwin. His face was extremely cute, with the right corner of his mouth rising as if he had a good hand.
At that moment, the gazes of the two people intertwined in the air. The narrow corners of his eyes were mischievous. Olivia felt as if he had been spying on her for no reason, so she acted shamelessly and did not avoid his eyes on purpose.
Edwin pursed her lips.
'What are you looking at?'
Olivia answered triumphantly, reading his lips at once.
“It’s mine.”
"Huh?"
The King suddenly raised his head at the strange words he heard. Ah... Olivia froze for a moment, then she smiled and asked.
“Your Majesty, you are so sorry for what the Prince looked like when he was six years old. It's still cute enough...”
Dean, who was momentarily stunned by Olivia's question, clenched his fists. Why is it that everyone goes to work today and the only one left is themselves? The maids in attendance also had their heads down and only the pinna of their ears dyed red.
With an expression on his face that didn't lie at all, the King just slapped a card and then laughed.
"Yes. What... He's still cute though.”
Grown children are indeed cute too... Pulling out a piece of old memory, the King muttered with a sorrowful face.
“When you were six, you were very, very angelic.”
A baby angel of the Grand Duchy Vikander.
The moment Edwin's colorful past was revealed, he shrugged his shoulders. There was no way he was unfamiliar with what he had heard so much.
Meanwhile, as the story progressed, Olivia's eyes began to sparkle.
She found out what she would do.
Sunlight filtered through the large window and filled the wide desk. I slowly looked at my office.
From the ebony wood bookshelf exuding a subtle scent to the ceramics and flowers on the nightstand that combine practicality and aesthetics. There is even a table for simple meetings and a balcony that Edwin decorated himself.
From the moment I became a Princess and I was given this office, I had been waiting for this day when I would begin the innermost affairs.

Winster, who had been at a loss as to what to do since he was appointed as the Prince's second aide, was anxious, but he could not overcome Sobel's bloodshot eyes.
Her Royal Highness-!
Olivia chuckled as she remembered the last time she saw Winster calling out to her in a pitiful way. Then, when her gaze fell on the desk again, the corners of her mouth sank sullenly.
It was not only the palace construction that was postponed due to the melting of the frozen ground.
Plans to visit the southern part of the country before the busy farming season were postponed and even noble ladies who volunteered to be the Princess's maids found it difficult to come to the palace as the frozen ground thawed.
Now that Olivia thinks about it, they are Young Ladies...
The debutante of noble children was the best way to appease the nobles of the territories incorporated from the empire.
“...Shall we prepare for our debutante during the free time?”
Since the Empire's debutantes would be scaled back like never before, it seemed like a good idea to break the Empire's morale by preparing a fancy banquet at Vikander.
“It’s a debutant... It sounds fun.”
When Olivia saw Edwin smiling and agreeing, she felt upset again.
Unlike her, who had the worst debutant, Edwin didn't even have a chance to attend. So he just said it would be fun?
Olivia did the math in an instant.
It will take approximately three weeks for the frozen ground to freeze again and for materials to arrive. Although it was late, it was too late to plan a banquet for Edwin's first debutante.
Before the frozen ground freezes again, they need to learn about all the trends on the continent and then hold the world's most amazing debutante.
Does he want to like it? No, he'll like it, right?
“...You have to like it.”
"Yes?"
Her eyes widened for a moment. Did she even say what was on her mind?
“If you don’t have work, you’ll be happy. You didn’t hear me because you were thinking about what else to do, right?”
Olivia smiled brightly as his hand lightly pinched the tip of my nose. Ah, that's what she said.
“I’ve already rested before I can rest, so I’m in a perfect state to digest my schedule. I’m even taking decoction like this.”
She picked up the bowl and drank the decoction. Perhaps her threshold for bitterness has increased, and Olivia doesn't find it as bitter as before.
But she couldn't help but squint the corners of her eyes. With his bright smile, Edwin put the candy in front of her mouth.
Olivia added, rolling the candy to make her cheeks puff out.
“Your physical strength is also very good.”
“...I don’t think so.”
Unlike the words he blurted out indifferently, the corners of Edwin's mouth slowly rose. Her face was filled with greed as she tilted her head as if she had no idea what he was talking about, so Edwin kindly added further explanation.
“If you are a strong Lady, you would have left me alone last night.”
“Edwin!”
No more! Olivia was horrified and covered Edwin's mouth with her palm. And she looked around the room where they were the only two, as if she was afraid that someone would hear him.
Meanwhile, her cheeks were turning red like camellia leaves. Olivia opened her eyes brightly and made an excuse, not noticing that Edwin's eyes were twisted mischievously.
“Well, Edwin just...”
But her words did not end.
The kiss on her palm tickled. Even if she tried to take her hand away from the touch that she desperately wanted, it was already too late.
Olivia didn't budge Edwin's hand that was gently grasping her wrist.
“Eh, Dewin.”
It was not only the palace construction that was postponed due to the melting of the frozen ground.
Plans to visit the southern part of the country before the busy farming season were postponed and even noble ladies who volunteered to be the Princess's maids found it difficult to come to the palace as the frozen ground thawed.
