Chapter 24

“Ata-a-”

Just as I was dressed up for the party, Caitel was dressed up for his birthday too . A coat he usually never wore, a badge, and a uniform were simply perfect and flawless . Well, he’d always been perfect for his looks .

‘Why are you staring at me like that?’

I guess he felt strange looking at me dressed up .

‘However, Dad, your eyes are making me a little uncomfortable . Will you be considerate me and stop staring?’

However, the reaction from Caitel must have excited Serira . Serira did what she would never do .

“Isn’t the princess so pretty today?”

Caitel’s eyes go straight to Serira . I was a little nervous . There were some unwritten rules in this palace, although it wasn’t necessarily a law-set issue, one of them was one should never ask Caitel first .

‘Ugh, Mom, why did you do that!’

Daddy, killing my nanny on his birthday wouldn’t happen, did it? Right? Could I trust you?

Maybe my faith worked, Caitel turned to me again without saying anything . I grabbed him by the collar and smiled .

‘Oh, nice daddy . How nice . ’

“She is pretty . ”

Oh, really?

I was a little dazed by his praise because I didn’t expect to hear it .

Really? Not like I looked like a monster or something, but I looked pretty? Really?!

“I’ll see you later, then . ”

“Yes, Your Majesty . ”

What’s going on with him?

I was a little thrilled . It was my father’s birthday, so I guess he was normal after a while .

Here’s your toast! Sob, sob . I was so happy . I had lived to see this day .

Caitel entered the connecting bridge, which led directly to the palace of Lunare . At the same time, Dranste, who popped out of nowhere, pretended to know me .

“Hello, my princess . ”

‘What’s he saying? Get out of here . ’

“Oh, you are so mean . ”

The attendants in the back were briefly agitated, but that was all . As if it was familiar, they avoided my gaze and kept on their job .

Why! Look at that! Why was nobody asking questions! It’s weird . He’s weird!

In the meantime, I held my hand on Caitel’s shoulder . I glared at Dranste, and at the same time, the eyes of Caitel directed our way .

“Take your hand…”

“Okay, okay! I will not get close to her!”

Perhaps because he had suffered before, Dranste’s actions were swift and quick .

Why did he touch me when he would run away like this?

I didn’t understand him at all . I clicked my tongue . He smiled a little when he saw me . It was a very dry smile, a sort of habit .

“It’s already your birthday . Time flies . ”

“You didn’t even come last year and you talk a lot . ”

Still, it was fun to listen to the conversations between the two . It seemed like Dranste was getting scolded by Caitel, but it was a little different when I was listening to their conversation . Caitel’s tone was different than usual . There’s something looser, something more…… .

Yes, something felt sharper .

“Don’t you feel happy? Why is your face so-”

Dranste was Dransthe, but my dad’s my dad, too . I still didn’t understand my dad, Caitel . Dranste laughed . His smile seemed cooler than usual .

“But it’s your birthday . Be a little more pleased . ”

Kaitel glanced at Dranste, of course, his steps were not at all slowed down . However, the look was a little different . I could see the face of Caitel, which somehow seemed to have been torn down .

“Birthday…”

The tone of the word birthday was bitter, and it felt a little strange .

I looked up at him . The hard-to-speak feeling weighed down on my chest . I wasn’t the type to wait so long for my birthday . However, I was happy enough when it was my birthday . Of course, it’s the day I was born . Everyone blessed me . So…

Now Caitel was different . Having had his birthday, he was neither happy nor having fun . That was what it revealed

“Well . ”

…Lonesome .

At the moment something was emotional inside me . Something got stuck in my throat .

What’s this feeling?

It was a bit embarrassingly intense, it was .

I’m used to that empty look . Smiling but also not smiling, the empty smile was now somewhat used to it .

However, I don’t know what this feeling was . What was it called?

“Would I ever be blessed to be born?”

Under the still-sinking voice, I quietly clasped his collar in my hand and looked up carefully . His eyes were still cool . It’s sad .

“If you consider the life I’ve killed with this hands and the weight of the country and blood I’ve shed, no one in this palace will be able to celebrate . ”

“Tsk tsk . ”

I could hear a ‘tsk’ sound behind me, but I could not reproach my father with any words . He was saying the right thing .

Right, who could celebrate his birthday among all the people who were here? Some of them must have trampled on their country, others who had lost their parents .

Caitel was never a beloved Emperor . Who would celebrate the birth of a tyrant? He was right . Therefore, I felt even sadder .

“Even I am cursing today, who are truly celebrating? Isn’t that right, my daughter?”

Kaitel laughed . The sour smile was a little pitiful today .

I pouted my mouth .

I couldn’t hate this bad guy, the bastard, even if I tried to hate him .

Even though I hated him like this, he made me fold my mind up . It’s been setup since I recognized him as my father . What could I do? He’s my dad .

However, I can celebrate my own birthday .

I’m sorry for him who couldn’t and felt pity for him . At the same time, I felt sad . I left this guy as my dad .

At that moment, the gate of Lunare Palace opened .

The gate was directly connected to the imperial palace, so it was a hall where it arrived as soon as it was opened . It seemed like the party had just begun, and the faces I had never seen before looked up in surprise .

Caitel broke into the position without any agitation, as always, expressionless . That’s when the real party begins .

“Welcome to all of you who have gathered together for my birthday . Let’s all drink and enjoy today’s party . ”

I could see a lot of people bowing their heads at that word .

I frowned my face .

I had a headache .

There was a sudden sense of rejection of the unfamiliar place . I’d rather be stuck somewhere . Maybe he felt me struggling in his arms, Caitel looked down at me with an expressionless look .

‘Daddy, I’m afraid your daughter is going to die . Let go of me . ’

Whether the prayer worked or not, Caitel puts me on the throne .

Oh, I felt good sitting on the king’s chair, but could I sit here? Is that right?

“Sit quietly . ”

Smiling little, he walked away . Fortunately, the throne was inside, so I could breathe .

Oh, I hated the party .

I didn’t know, but there were a lot of people . Like, a lot .

It was more than what I had I thought, and in the number of people, I realized how big my father’s empire was . Caitel seemed to be greeted only by those who had quite a bit of power, but that number was still quite large . In the meantime, Ferdel was busy enjoying socializing .

The more I saw him, the more amazing he was .

“Uh . ”

I wanted to go home now, really . However, I remembered Serira’s words that I have to stay for at least an hour .

It’s screwed . The world was rotten . Why was this chair so hard?

I was not comfortable in a dress, and I was uncomfortable in a chair too . Was Caitel always sitting on a chair like this?

‘My father, is your butt okay?’

I’d die of hip pain .

The seat was so uncomfortable, I wiggled my body and my clothes slipped . The body flowed under the chair .

Oh, I’m not in a chair, but under it .

Huh? No! My chair!

What’s wrong with this filthy chair that’s slipping because there’s no cushion?

My dad told me to sit quietly . When I looked up, the chair was too high .

I was so screwed .

I reached out and grab the chair and gave strength to the leg .

I had to go up! I had to go up!

“Oh . ”

“Oh my!”

“Huh?”

All of a sudden, there was a small burst of exclamations everywhere . Did they get something to see?

I tried to get up to the chair somehow . I would go up to the chair and see what they were watching . However, why couldn’t I even stand up?

No, we had to go up . I had to go up!

“Princess!”

“Oh, my God!”

“You stopped!”

What’s wrong with them?

Holding the chair, I was about to lean up, and people’s eyes quickly turned on me .

Huh? What did I do?

I think I did something, but I didn’t know . What’s this reaction? I was just gathering my lips in embarrassment, but I was a little scared because of my familiar sharp gaze .

I turned head, and there was Caitel . He had a somewhat unusual look on his face . A little surprised?

However, what surprised you? What, daddy .

Did I borrow money from you without my knowledge? I didn’t borrow anything .

“Papa!”

I didn’t know .

I was his lovely daughter, and I didn’t know what’s going on, but he was not going to kill me . Would he? I called him with my arms wide open .

Come on, come and hug me . Turn that eyes around .

However, I was a fool . Normally, I sat down and opened my arms, but now I was standing . Holding the chair .

When I let go of the chair I was leaning on, my body tilts back .

Oh, my God!

My body’s going over! Dad, come and do something!
