Our Tyrant Got Younger

I possessed a book. Into a book that contained the pairing I had once passionately supported, the heroine x emperor ship. For the days I wept over how those two never ended up together, now that I’ve come to the book knowing the whole story, of course I will!

“Line up if you want to hear my prophecy!”

I started making money off the contents of the book. Hey, you two may not end up together, but you’re rich; I’m not! Following the eternal truth, the timeless law of gold supremacy, I raked in money through prophecies for three months. At the end of that, I was dragged to the imperial capital by imperial order.

And there I met the emperor...

“You say you know everything.”

“Yes. I know quite a lot.”

“Then tell me when I will return to my original state.”

At last, the emperor who appeared behind a white curtain was the form of a four-year-old child.

...Why did you become young?

On a day when I was struggling beside the baby emperor to find a way to lift the curse, so as not to be exposed as a fake fortune-teller, he asked:

“Don’t you only see me as a baby?”

“Yes.”

At my firm answer, Persilion’s eyebrows twitched. Not liking my simple response, I carefully watched his mood and gave him a thumbs-up.

“You look like a baby angel sent down from the heavens to defeat all evil with cuteness, dazzling charm, and endless fresh adorableness...?”

“..."

“Y-You look like a baby angel descended from the sky to brighten the world by defeating all evil with cuteness-”

“Get out!”

Before I could finish, Persilion threw a rabbit doll at me. Ah, I should have bought a cat doll instead of a rabbit doll.
