Chapter 125: The Emperorâs Daughter Chapter. 125âNo. itâs a lie that Caitel began the war because of his sister, so donât pay any attention to that.â
Ferdel showed me his usual smile after quite a long time passed. Jeno looks back at him terrified.
âIs it alright to tell a child about that?â
âSo what? She was bound to find out about it eventually.â
Right, I like how careless you are, Ferdel. I canât tell if youâre generous or stupid. Anyway, you are a good source of information.
âThen why did people say that?â
âWell, it must be because he didnât let any of his sisters alive even though they were sent to those countries that were already conquered. Because of that, false gossip spread all over the country. That Caitel is having wars to kill his sisters. Well, it wasnât true.â
Ferdelâs fork pokes a piece of steak.
So Iâve known the wrong rumors for all this time?
Oh, but start a war to kill sisters, or fighting a war to pay back for being insulted are both insane. As I shake my head over my fatherâs madness, Jeno speaks.
âStill, many of the princesses who were sent off for marriage were killed because of that silly gossip.â
âOh, were they executed without trial to prevent any excuses? It was quite shocking, and everyone cursed Caitel at the time.â
âPeople still speak of him that way.â
âIâm sure our Emperor will live long and prosper.â
âThatâs not something to be proud of, sir.â
Jeno looks down on him as if he is pathetic. I joined that sight. Yeah, itâs not something to be proud of, silly.
Iâm dying of embarrassed to be his daughter here. Oh, really, if I wasnât his daughter, I would never see him.
âOh, Iâve been busy saying something else with the princess. Princess, how is Pibbit doing?â
Of all the things he could ask, heâs going to ask about Pibbit?
âHeâs gotten fatter.â
Why does dieting make you a pig-er rather than lose weight? Maybe my Pibbit was supposed to be born as a pig rather than a rabbit.
Ferdel laughs. What are you laughing at? I am serious. It wouldnât be surprising if Caitel wanted to butcher him right now.
âHmm, princess? This is a serious question, and Iâm not trying to tease you.â
What are you going to ask? As I nodded my head, poking a meatball with a fork, Ferdel smiles.
âArenât you raising him so you can eat him later?â
Gosh, this guy! You are talking about that again! And I ran out of my seat.
âIâm not playing with you!â
Iâm already annoyed that Caitel always asks me when Iâm going to eat him up, and how dare you ask me that! I donât want to see you!
âAah, Princess!â
âShouldnât have teased a child.â
