âMay I take her to my chambers for a short while? Sheâs so pretty, I simply must give her some cookies.â
What did she say? I eat plenty of cookies all the time! I looked at Serira in tears. Mom, youâre not gonna hand me over to her, are you? Donât hand me to her! But my mom doesnât have any power. Damn, I canât help it. Now I have feet! I should just run for my life when I see the chance.
Things went like this, I looked back to find Elene and run. But Elene was not there. Oh, what the hell!
âWhy wonât you answer? You dare deny my request?â
Canât you tell? My mom doesnât want to let you take me! Sheâs just conflicted since she canât be rude to a princess. Itâs a shame Iâm still only a child. If I was just a bit older, Iâd tell her to leave right away.
âThen Iâll take her. Come along, Princess.â
What is going on?! My mom never said okay, you know?! And I donât want to go!
âWhy are you making this so difficult? Come, pretty princess.â
Itâs unnecessary to buttering up. I donât like you anyway!
âTulee, you hold her too.â
This princess is now just trying to kidnap me! I had no choice but to run away, so I got out of Seriraâs arms, but Tyleniaâs entourage seized me as soon as I try to escape. Just when will my rights and freedom get any respect here?! Oh, really, help anyone!
âHow despicable, Princess Tylenia.â
I can hear someone elseâs voice as if someone heard the voice of my heart. I turned my head to that familiar voice. The person whoâs in my sight, standing alone with a book in one hand, without any entourage wasâŠ
âLayla.â
It was Layla.
âWhat are you doing here?â
âI was passing by and came over since it was so loud.â
A tense air is rapidly flowing between the two women.
I looked at Layla like a savior after a long time.
Aah, I never thought Iâd be so happy to see Layla! If it wasnât for Tylenia, Iâd run right into her armsâŠBut soon she stared Tylenia with a scary face.
âDonât you think your jealousy is aimed at the wrong person?â
âWhat did you say?â
âIf thatâs not the case then are you so blind by your own jealousy you canât even treat an innocent child with decency?â
As if it was some kind of trigger, Tyleniaâs face got stiff at that moment. The furious look appears on her face.
