âChildren cry when he approaches them, so he stays far away even though he wants to see them up close. He hides or runs away when they notice him. What else should I call him besides an idiot?â
I was lost in thought for a while and then suddenly came to my senses.
Huh? Wait, Sil, what did you say?
âHe runs and hides?â
Thatâs what he had been doing to me! As I asked her, Sil looked down at me. Still, her voice was soft and kind.
âDoes Assisi not do that in front of you?â
âNo, he runs away whenever he sees me.â
Right, that foolish man ran away all the time.
I was not a bug or some kind of disease! He always ran away whenever I tried to go near him. Thatâs my biggest concern these days.
âIsnât that because Iâm ugly?â
âIâm certain thatâs not it. Youâre beautiful, my Princess.â
Oh, of course, Dranesteâs words were just like a dogâs bark. Bowwow.
Yeah, how dare he say I was ugly when I was so pretty! No way, of course.
âFerdel.â
âYes, Princess.â
âAssisi doesnât hate me, does he?â
Ferrell laughed at my question.
âOf course not. His wish is probably to see you up-close.â
âIs that so?â
So, thatâs how he wasâ¦okay, good.
Thanks to Silvia and Ferdel, after learning why Assisi had been avoiding me, I came up with a master plan.
I called itâ¦
Project befriend Assisi!
The plan was to stick with Assisi whether he liked it or not, but to my surprise, an opportunity soon came to me. WAs it that God pushed me to connect with you?
âPrincess, what is it?â
As I looked at my backside, Serira asked. I brought an index finger to my mouth to tell her to keep it down.
Be quiet, mom. I shouldnât let Assisi notice me.
Serira tilted her head a little at my serious expression.
Now! At that moment, I turned my head.
âAssisi!â
Our eyes met. I felt a little proud when I saw his golden-green eyes filled with shock. I was not afraid of him! He can come closer to me then. However, contrary to my wishes, he ran away from me right away.
Oh no!
âHey, where are you going?â
Oh my God. if he would run, I would chase him until he stopped! I heard Serira calling me since I started to run fast suddenly, but I could not stop running because I decided to catch him today for sure. I am going to get you!
âHey! Pardon me! Sir!â
I thought he might stop if I chased after him, but heâs running away with all his might.
Not only was he running, but he also hadnât even looked back once! This cold-hearted man! Didnât he feel bad for me for chasing after him?!
âI said, wait!â
