Chapter 153 - Little Prince’s Summer

<The Secret Diary of the World’s Most Handsome and Charming Prince, Prince Allosha, Much Better than Dad.>

My seventh birthday is coming soon.

So, I was feeling happy. Until a little while ago, that is.

Uncle Ivan (my aunt’s husband) asked me what present I wanted. I said “Something huge” in response.

But then Mother (my royal mother) butted in and said it’s hers.

(t/n: the term he uses is royal mother but I’ll keep it as mother and father to make it easier.)

So, I adjusted and decided to go with a low budget.

I adjusted, but the adults kept laughing, making me even more annoyed. Those who laugh too much don’t look cool.

Honestly, isn’t it really childish?

They even try to compete with their own son, how immature.

From what I see, Father is definitely jealous of me.

Because Mother only kisses my forehead and gives me delicious chocolates.

And it’s because I’m the only one who has the same pretty blond hair as Mother.

Honestly, I don’t know why Mother married a man like Father.

Mother is a hundred times better.

Father seems to be helpless and incapable of doing anything on his own.

Last year, there was a time when Father went on a trip with my aunt, and his condition was really strange then.

According to my swordsmanship teacher, Sir Andymion’s explanation, he was like that even before I was born.

Poor Mother.

Because I was in a bad mood, I didn’t say anything during lunch, and Mother asked if something was wrong.

Feeling embarrassed, I kept silent, and then she asked what I wanted as a birthday present.

Impulsively, I said I wanted to go to the Frost Forest, and she made a troubled face, asking why I wanted to go there.

I got scolded for mumbling.

Actually, I don’t really know what’s in the Frost Forest.

There’s some secret military base or something, that’s all I know.

But thanks to the brat, who I’ve been spending time with lately, I found out that it’s the secret dating spot where Mother and Father occasionally disappear to be alone!

That brat, surprisingly, has some use.

But the fact that the secret military base is their secret dating spot, even when I think about it from a child’s perspective, it’s a bit weird. It’s just like Father.

This can’t go on like this.

I made up my mind when I saw Father trying to compete with me even on my birthday.

I need to come up with a plan.

First of all, I must find a way to obtain the map of the secret passage that extends from the palace to there.

And then, I will intrude into the secret dating spot of the two and play a nasty prank that will make them incredibly upset.

If their secret date is ruined, they will surely be very angry…

Since it’s a place known only to the two of them, they will naturally suspect each other, and their relationship will sour. As a result, they will spend time only with me for a while.

They will have meals, take walks, read, and even sleep together, all exclusively with me.

No matter how much they beg, I will absolutely not give in.

As I let my imagination run wild, I felt a bit better.

But how can I obtain the map of the secret passage?

Anyway, I acted like a docile lamb throughout the remaining meal, as I couldn’t afford to get caught in my scheme.

The affectionate and innocent appearance of the two made me think that the chocolate pudding had lifted their spirits.

It’s actually my favorite dessert.

“Now, I have to go to my lessons.”

I wished they would stay with me a bit longer, but they briefly kissed my forehead and left.

Without a doubt, they must be heading there to satiate my impatient and envious Father.

I was annoyed, but I resolved to endure it.

In the end, I will be the one laughing.

I pondered throughout the way to the boring classroom, wondering how I could get my hands on the map.

Lost in thought, I was walking when I happened to see my cousin, who attended the same class, coming towards me.

“Allosha, my eternal rival!” Yuri shouted as soon as he saw me. It was the usual greeting, but for some reason, it made me a bit irritated.

Perhaps it was because today, the scruffy, mischievous-looking kid reminded me of Father, who always complained and made a fuss over everything.

I decided to play a little trick on him.

“Address me as ‘Your Highness,’ you worthless child!”

Yuri stopped in his tracks and his eyes widened like marbles.

Then, instead of fighting back, he asked cautiously, “Hey, why are you upset? What’s wrong?”

I wasn’t upset, I was angry! Even at this age, Yuri still couldn’t distinguish a simple emotion properly. He was undoubtedly an immature brat.

To think that he’d consider himself my rival out of nowhere!

I wanted to retort sharply, but suddenly, my enthusiasm faded, and different words came out.

“It’s summer, and there’s nothing fun to do!”

“Yeah, I feel the same way.”

“They always tell us to study all the time! What’s up with that?”

“Yeah, exactly! It’s always the adults having all the fun…”

“So, here’s the thing, let’s go on an adventure!”
