Chapter 234: The Emperorâs Daughter Chapter. 234
âIt was all exposed because the high-ranking nobles were too excited that the Yultos dynasty could carry their family line. I guess they didnât think any of them were traitors. Sooner or later, weâll find out whoâs protecting him. Well, they must have been great since the Royal family is the one who can use their sacred treasure.â
A sacred treasure? What was that?
Assisi asks my dad, taking his eyes off the papers.
âI remember that all the Imperial family was executedâ¦â
âI heard itâs a bastard. The maid was its mother.â
âA bastardâ¦â
Somehow, this made Assisi frown, but I couldnât be sure. Was it just a gut feeling? Dad smiled. It was colder than his usual jeers.
âI pity him for being honored after growing up without knowing anything about how and when the country fell. Heâs the prince of a fallen country no matter what.â
He then stroked my hair. Was my hair your toy? Assisi looked down at the document again with a profound expression. It didnât seem like heâs reading it. It just looked like he was looking at it.
âBut Agrigent canât perfectly conquer Pretzia.â
âI know, so isnât that the reason why Ferdel is using that kind of policy?â
Oh, it hurt. Caitel was no longer stroking my hair anymore, heâs just pulling it out! I frowned; Caitel then smiled and twisted my hair more. That made my hair more disheveled. âHey!â
âDifferent cultures mean different races.â
Oh, I asked dad to play with me, not to talk about something so serious. Besides, heâs ruining my hair for no reason! Thus, I just got off my dadâs lap because I felt so disgusted.
âI want to leave.â
Assisi could play with dad. Trying to walk to the door, Caitel grabbed my hair.
Ouch! Hey, jeez, I would really kill this guy!
âDo you just intend to come and go at your own volition?â
âYou do that all the time too!â
âSo?â
So? What did he mean by so?! âLet go of my hair!â I tried to pull it out of his hands, but he didnât even budge even if I used most of my strength. Oh, heâs acting a whole lot like an elementary school student!
âI can do it, but you canât.â
âWhy? Itâs not fair!â
I protested, but my father was reckless.
âBecause Iâm the emperor.â
ââ¦â
Oh⦠was that so?
âYes, you must be happy to be an emperor.â
However, I guessed he saw my face that was obviously dumbfounded. After showing off with a brazen look, he turned his eyes and cough in vain. I was genuinely ashamed that this man was my father at that moment. Dad should probably stop going around, telling people that he was my father!
At that moment, Assisi laughed. Why the hell was he laughing?
âYour Majesty is saying he is bored.â
After hearing Assisiâs words, Caitel and I showed a look of shock at the same time.
âHuh?â
âWho?â
I turned right around to look at Caitel. Caitel denied everything through his eyes.
âNo, Iâm not bored.â
However, I wanted to make fun of my dad when he acted out like this. I smiled brightly.
âOh, dad, so youâre just bored!â
âNo. I am not.â
âDad, do you want me to play with you? Come on, just say it. What do you want to play?â
âNever mind. Go away.â
âNo, Iâll play with you. Now, what shall we do?â
When I sat on his lap again, Caitel rejected me. Hey, hey, why was he doing this although I said Iâd play with him? What did he want to play? Huh? I giggled as he tried not to die from laughter after seeing the look on his face that says âdamn it,â and Assisi, who was watching us for a moment, smiled with a proud look.
âYou two have a good relationship.â
What did he just say?
I made a cold face after hearing this, although I was usually a woman who wouldnât show a sour expression. This was really not it.
âDad, somethingâs off about Assisi.â
Caitel answered seriously.
âI agree.â
