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

In a certain magical land, there lived a pitiful princess.

The princess's mother died soon after giving birth to her.

Her father, far from loving her, found her detestable.

He said, "I never want to see her again."

The princess grew up without the love of the emperor.

For a long time, she was alone.

Then, when she was nine years old, she met her father for the first time.

"This man is my only family," she thought to herself.

She did everything she possibly could to win her father's love.

But when she was fourteen, at her debutante ball, her hopes were shattered.

The truth was that the emperor had another daughter.

Bright and beautiful, Jennette was like an angel.

In mere moments, she captured everyone's attention and their love.

Including, of course, her father's love.

To win her father's love, the pitiful princess dirtied her hands with black magic.

In the end, her father banished her, and her life came to an end.

I don't care about the story...

But... the princess no one loves, the one who goes astray in the end...

I'm certain she's me!

I know she's just a supporting character, but it's just too sad!

No.

I will never, ever, ever, ever accept this as my life!

I will break free from it!

THE FATED MAGICAL PRINCESS: WHO MADE ME A PRINCESS

PAPA

You take the kitchen, please.

Because of that incident with the thief, there are more people in the kitchen now.

Looks like it's going to be difficult to gather funds to escape.

But Lily is safe, so I guess it's all right.

I can't let something like this make me give up on my plan to collect funds!

Ooh! Gold!

Does that make you happy?

Lily seemed to think that I liked shiny things,

so she gave me lots of golden toys.

And...

Ev'ybody...

Um...

Athy wants some choc'late.

Those jewels!

- Thank you, ev'ybody! - Adorable! The princess is so cute!

How adorable!

All of you are treasure number eighteen.

According to my dreams, I'll run into him when I'm nine years old.

So if I can leave this place before I'm nine, I can change my fate!

That's my plan!

Oh! And of course, I'll take Lily with me.

I'll look after you!

Princess!

Oh, I got chocolate on me.

It'd be bad if Lily saw that.

People tell me I look exactly like Mama.

But my eyes come from my father.

Only the imperial family inherits these jeweled eyes.

But I haven't inherited any magical powers.

I wonder if that's why my father hates me.

Everyone says that I'm the only one who has inherited the jeweled eyes,

but the truth is that there's another princess: Jennette.

Ugh! Idiot! Idiot! Idiot! Idiot!

There's no point in thinking about it!

Once I have enough money, I'm running away!

Security in the palace has gotten tighter lately, so I have to hide this well.

What is this place?

It's not the Ruby Palace.

It's so empty. There's no one here.

It doesn't look fancy. I wonder if it's a storehouse.

Oh, I'm hungry.

To make sure no thieves can ever enter the Ruby Palace again,

we must first thoroughly clean up.

Per His Majesty's order, the Ruby Palace will undergo a detailed inspection.

Every room?

Yes, and with a special focus on the princess's rooms.

What did she just say?!

This is bad! All my treasures!

...three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten!

They're all here!

These are for my future, so I have to hide them well.

Princess, it's time for your nap...

Oh?

You're already asleep?

Sweet dreams, Your Highness.

As for the rest... I guess I'll transfer them a bit at a time.

No one spotted me!

This might be easier than I thought!

We just need to tidy up that area today, right?

Yes. The things we requested will arrive tomorrow.

I'm sure I buried it somewhere around here.

What?!

Wait!

Oh! Found it!

Look, Mister Squirrel! How about this instead?

Burying these in the woods might not be safe, either.

What to do...

A place without many people where I can hide these...

Oh!

That place!

There really isn't anyone here.

Could this place be...

my very own destined treasury?!

This is all gold, isn't it?

I wonder if it's pure gold.

How long has this little bug been in my palace?

The same jeweled eyes as me?

Father?

But why?

That face.

I've seen it before.

What? It's so much sooner than in my dreams.

I'm supposed to run into my father four years from now, aren't I?

Why is it happening now?

He said "my palace" just now, didn't he?

So this means I walked right into the demon king's lair?

It was that woman, wasn't it?

The two of you...

look a lot alike.

Y-Your Majesty!

I remember now.

The name that woman gave you.
