The Fated Magical Princess: Who Made Me a Princess (魔法公主的小烦恼)

THE FATED MAGICAL PRINCESS: WHO MADE ME A PRINCESS

A GIRL JUST LIKE ME

O dawn wind, answer my plea...

and carry this heavy burden.

Did you see? Lucas, I can move things at a distance!

Oh? Not bad. I didn't think you'd learn so fast.

My, I'm such a genius.

I worked really hard too, okay?

It's time for me to teach you something even more remarkable.

I want to learn magic that can make a person float!

Not that. You're not skilled enough yet.

Why not?

Moving a teacup is just the tip of the iceberg.

If you wish to float a person,

you'd have to be able to float larger non-living objects first.

How large?

This large!

W-What are you doing?! Stop that!

How was that? Aren't you impressed by my skills?

Yes, yes. You're the most amazing, okay?

However...

That's my teacup! Put it back!

Learning magic is so difficult.

I don't get how other people do it.

Wait, why don't I go ask Ijekiel?

Now that I think of it, I never properly said goodbye to him last time.

That was rude of me.

Lucas.

Hm?

Can you do what you did last time and send me to Mr. Snowy's house again?

What for?

You really can't stop thinking about that duke's son, can you?

What are you talking about? I have important business!

No way.

My mana is precious. I'm not wasting it on you.

You were wasting it on floating magic just now.

Besides, last time I did what you asked,

you scolded me for it.

Who knows what you're plotting this time?

Oh, incredibly powerful and handsome mage, I'm begging you. Please?

I suppose I have no choice if you insist on going.

Yay!

Lucas, that jerk!

Why didn't he pick a better spot?

Ow, that hurts!

You're...

Miss Angel!

Oh... Hello! I'm here to bother you again.

Every time you appear, you catch me off-guard.

Angels do as they please.

Isn't that what all the fairy tale books say?

I've never heard of an angel who likes to climb into fireplaces.

I just got lost.

Wow, he's so good at taking care of people.

He's a natural big brother.

Is something wrong?

The color of your eyes...

So he did notice last time!

Could you change my eye color before I leave?

Easily. There's nothing I can't do!

Garnet, just like mine. Do you like it?

Could you... not stare at me?

I'm sorry.

What are you doing here?

Well, last time I disappeared without a word, didn't I?

Yes. I was very worried at the time.

I thought you had gone home on your own.

I am relieved to see that you're safe.

I couldn't say goodbye last time, so I came back.

So, you returned because you didn't say goodbye to me?

Yes.

I'm so happy.

Just this morning, I was thinking about how I might pray to the heavens to meet you again.

Just this morning, I was thinking about how I might pray to the heavens to meet you again.

This guy... is such a straight shooter!

Are you leaving?

Yes.

The ship leaving for Arlanta will arrive in two days.

Arlanta... on the other side of the sea.

Far away from Obelia.

That's not right... He's a future duke.

He's supposed to... grow up surrounded by love and protection.

He's meant to fall in love with Jennette and live a happy, fulfilled life.

Be careful.

Don't worry. I'll take care of it.

His future's changing, too.

He's working really hard.

Even I haven't read these books yet.

My father's made a sound decision.

Though far away, Arlanta has very good teachers.

Then... When will you be back?

When I'm worthy of facing the princess.

Ijekiel?

Ijekiel, may I come in?

Jennette? H-Hold on a moment.

Sorry, Jennette. I was just tidying up my room.

It's still a mess in here.

Do you need my help?

No, that's all right.

Do you need me for something?

I'd like you to read to me.

You finished this one two days ago, didn't you?

Then... come help me style Alice's hair.

Alice should be drying on the clothesline right about now.

She was put in the wash along with Amy this morning.

That's Jennette, who has appeared in my dreams.

Then... Then let's go to the greenhouse together.

I want to look at the roses with you.

Ijekiel...

Is there someone in your room?

No. I'll shut the window, then I'll be right with you, all right?

Okay.

Go. She's waiting for you.

I'm stepping out for a bit. I'll be back soon.

Based on her voice, she sounds like a lovely girl.

Jennette has appeared in my prophetic dreams from the start.

In my dreams, she's kind and beautiful, like an angel.

Her mother, Penelope, is the younger cousin of the Duke,

and was once Father's fiancée.

Rumor has it that she looked down on my father

because he wasn't the crown prince, and called off the engagement.

When Father ascended the throne,

she regretted her decision.

Later, she latched onto another member of the royal family, but he went missing.

Before she passed away, she had a baby with jewel-like eyes, Jennette.

Jennette was adopted by the Duke, and grew to be beautiful and elegant.

In the future, Jennette catches Father's eye

after being introduced by Duke Alpheus,

and becomes beloved by all as a happy princess.

I'm supposed... to hate her.

- Who is that? - Ah!
