The Third Prince Want a Slow Live

CH 18



8 years old 

Even if I wake up early in the morning and go to sleep again, I won\'t oversleep, and I can fully enjoy it.

This light sleep is so comfortable that I want to immerse myself in it forever――

Pap, pap 

"Uncle, wake up!"

Yeah, relaxing and immersing myself in this slumber――

Pap pap, Pap,pap

"Uncle! Wake up!"

my rest time...

No, I\'m still want to sleep.

Then, let\'s use that classic line!

"5 more minutes..."

"Muu! Fuuu!"

"fuuuu!"

Something climbed on my stomach.

And then it hurled at me, "wake up!"

When I opened my eyes reluctantly, there was Regulus-niisama\'s child and my niece, Tiffany, sitting on my stomach.

I\'m eight years old now.

An 8-year-old uncle with a 2-year-old  little niece.

There may be a sense of strangeness, but in this world, marriage happens early, so there are things like this.

My niece Tiffany\'s new favorite thing to do is to wake me up when I\'m asleep.

I don\'t oversleep, but rather I go to bed early and get up early, like a healthy child, but... Tiffany doesn\'t seem to care about that.

When I opened my eyes, Tiffany said with a wide smile.

"Good morning, uncle!"

"... Good morning, Thii. Thank you."

"You are welcome "

"For now, I\'m going to get up, so can you come down?"

“No!"

I have no rights.

Well, I was going to lay down to waste a bit more of time, but...

"..."

Suddenly, when I turned my gaze to the side, Tiffany\'s twin sister Suwa was silently looking at me.

"Good morning, Suwa."

"……yes"

Opposite of her lively younger sister, she\'s a quiet older sister, but since she\'s quite clever for her age, could only say "as expected of Regulus-niisama\'s child".

"……uncle"

"Hmm? What is it?"

"... picture book"

"Oh, it\'s almost ready, so I\'ll give it to you when it\'s done."

"……thank you"

By the way, Suwa likes the picture book I made about Nyanta and Wanjiro, and seems to be looking forward to the new one.

It\'s a little embarrassing, but is it okay if  it makes her happy. 

After putting down Tiffany, who is riding on me, I quickly change clothes.

When I check my appearance in front of the mirror, I think that my growth in height at this age may be the lowest, including my two previous life.

For some reason, the person in my previous life, who had a short amount of sleep, was taller than I am right now ... is it because of this world?

I\'ve heard that sleeping doesn\'t defy the law of gravity, so you grow taller... well, if it\'s normal, there\'s nothing to complain about.

After finishing the preparations, the three of us left the room and head to the dining room, but the destination is the dining room in the separate building where older brother and his wife live.

Originally, my brothers  who already have families and I, live separately in separate buildings in the castle, but sometimes we eat together at the request of my nieces.

Well, I\'m happy because I have less time to eat alone.

Even with my 8 years of age , my father and mother\'s work hasn\'t changed much.

If Raoul-niisama succeeds to the throne directly, it will calm down a bit... No, it seems that they are planning to spent lovey-dovey time as a married couple from there.

I see, I also want to enjoy a peaceful retirement life with Philia in my old age.

Well, my father, who will soon become the former king, and my mother, who will become the former queen, will probably have various jobs after retirement, but for me, I will leave everything to my child with Philia.

A child with Philia... I\'m sure he will be really cute.

Absolutely, this time I want my child to call me "Papa", "Dad", "Father", and so on.

As I was walking through the courtyard with that thought in mind, I happened to see a small child making a swing.

Even though it\'s just swinging with a light and safe toy sword, the child who was seriously doing it was so enthusiastic that he was sweating.

"Good luck, Druid."

"Ah, uncle!"

When I called out to him, the child――Raul-niisama\'s eldest son Druid interrupted his swing and rushed over.

"Uncle, let\'s practice later! ”

"No! Uncle is playing with us!"

Suwar nodded.

It\'s hard to be popular.

Well, I\'m the only one who doesn\'t have much time, and on top of that, we are  relatively close in age (although I am his uncle), so I guess he\'s a good partner to kill time with.

Since he look up to Brother Raul and admire him, Druid says he wants to become a knight in the future... I find it really admirable .

To think that he have a dream from such a young age. 

In my case, I lived too fast, and I just wanted to enjoy a slow life, but he is a solid child.

Druid, the eldest son of Brother Raul, will soon become the first prince when Raul-niisama succeeds to the throne.

It feels like Raul-niisama\'s generation will pass quickly... but this is the complicated part of royalty and nobility, isn\'t it?

From the bottom of my heart, I am glad that I was the third prince with low succession to the throne.

Relax and live in peace... yeah, that\'s good.

Then, I had breakfast surrounded by my brother\'s children and his wives. They are all beautiful, aren\'t they?

Philia is number one for me though.
