Chapter 246: The Emperorâs Daughter Chapter. 246
âAnyway, things have changed since back then, this is exactly the age for you to be announcing a royal heir, and now a son with royal blood just happens to show up.â
âWhatâs so different now? I donât care if heâs my son or not. I donât need a son.â
âThen you just plan to kill everyone like before, Your Majesty?â
Dad shuts his mouth to Ferdelâs words.
Hey, I thought you two were going to watch you say now.
The two confront each other. Caitel still looked fierce, but on the other hand, Ferdel seemed to have cooled down.
Ferdel is suddenly being so serious. It doesnât suit him. Itâs been a long time since Iâve seen him like this. Well, I guess thatâs how serious it is.
âIt might have worked back then, but thatâs not the case now. We havenât finished stabilizing the territories weâve expanded into from the last war. More importantly, we sacrificed too much in order to defeat Pretzia. In other words, weâre not in a state to start another war without proper preparation. Besides, have you forgotten that weâve signed a peace treaty with Andurus?â
Now heâs a little scary. Caitel didnât say anything, but he seemed to feel similar to me. He doesnât respond to that but making an impression. Iâm sure he doesnât have anything to say.
âIf we disregard that for no clear reason, weâll most likely have to deal with the empire from the North. Their princess is no longer our hostage. That child is both a royal heir to Agrigent as well as to Andurus. How did things get so complicated?! What should I do? Good grief! Blast it all!â
And, thereâs our Ferdel. I was a fool for thinking you were cool even for a second.
Not knowing that I am frustrated with myself, who is possessed by a moment of fantasy, Ferdel rips his hair. I wanted to rip it with him.
âUgh, whatever. Just do whatever you want. I give up, I donât care.â
Ferdel gets up from his seat. He looked angry or gave up, but my fatherâs face was not as peaceful as he was.
âGet out.â
âI was planning to go anyway!â
âGet lost.â
Anyway, they have to fight once a day.
I donât know. I just stood up to go back to my room, but somehow my dad grabs me. You know, Assisi went out with Ferdel. I was wondering why Assisi also went out too, but I felt a little bit weird to leave behind with dadâ¦
Have I done something wrong before I knew it?
âDonât worry.â
âHuh?â
Iâm nervous about getting in trouble, but Iâm relieved by the sudden voice. What is it? I looked at him in a daze and he looked at me. Caitelâs eyes on me were quite soft.
Why are you doing this?
For a moment, my fatherâs hand pat my head with a short sigh. And the low voice that sits in my ear.
âYou are my only child.â
