Chapter 40: The Emperorâs Daughter Chapter . 40
I wasnât the only one frustrated . Serira answered him in a slightly sharp voice . Somehow she sounded angry .
âBabies are more delicate than youâd expect . If you kept scrubbing her that hard, her skin would have been scraped offâ
I was angry at him, but as soon as Caitel saw me, I grinned . Damn it! Yeah, I still wanted to live .
Somehow he seemed to be having difficulties .
Whatâs so difficult for you? This was so obvious .
However, this obvious things seemed extremely difficult for Caitel . Suddenly, when I thought his scarlet eyes had subsided darkly, Caitel closed his eyes .
His deep sigh reached my ears .
Since then, Caitel learned to bathe fairly quickly . Of course, Serra taught him, but it was still quite fast . Of course, there was my sacrifice .
My arm was still sore . I saluted myself . Good job, me .
âDid you enjoy your bath?â
Caitel, who left it up to Serra to finish washing and drying me, looked tired somehow .
However, when did he get a bath?
He finished washing up while I was drying my hair and getting changed, and he came to me brushing off his wet hair .
By the way, would he please put some clothes on? He should put his own gown on .
âI see you laugh quite often . â
Itâs because I didnât want to die yetâŚ
Letâs stop because I felt like tearing up thinking about my unfortunate destiny .
He swept my cheek with his hand and smiled . His hands felt pretty cool because he just finished bathing .
I felt refreshed because I just came out of the water .
I thought the bath was good . I felt like I was limp, like melted chocolate but I liked it .
Oh, I wanted to eat chocolate all of a sudden .
âYou seem to like it . â
He smiled . It was rare . His smile was so comfortable, and It was a little surprising .
He knew how to make a face like this, huh?
I was just blinking my eyes on his bed, and suddenly Caitel sat on the bed with his gown on . His hand was holding a small box I had never seen .
âHere . This is for you . â
I took the box from him and looked at him . We then had eye contact . Caitel laughed . He soon opened the box in my hand . I opened my eyes wide on the red jewel .
It was a very small ring .
With very red ruby on top . Red and somehow purple ruby caught my eyes . It was a beautiful ring that would take my heart away in a moment .
I raised my head in amazement as Caitel was smiling at me . It was not a big smile as usual, but I didnât even think of criticizing it .
Was this gist gift for me?
I was a bit confused . I did not know how to react to him . My mouth was open, but no words had come out .
What should I say? Ah⌠You cheater . This was foul play .
I didnât expect Caitel to give me a gift . For some reason, I never imagined this would happen . Actually, itâs little obvious to think of it, but I didnât know until he gave me the box . Suddenly, his hand patted my head lightly .
A low, somewhat attentive voice .
He looked embarrassed to say that .
âYouâll regret it . â
Caitel frowned when the curtain suddenly opened wide . He was still sleeping and he lifted his arm up to cover his eyes .
âWhat is this all about?â
His mood was very low because it was morning, but Caitel got used to him since this was not his first time .
The man who stood against the window and looking at him was, of course, Dranste . Caitelâs face was crumpled when he saw who it was . Seeing that face, Dranste smiled .
The morning sun was shining white in his back window .
âYouâll regret it . â
What he was saying at early in the morning was great . That was not a big deal because Caitel heard it before . Caitel closed his eyes again .
A significant voice whispered in his ear .
âWell, youâll see what happens . â
Dranste looked quite happy . Although one whos dealing him was not .
Caitel crumpled his face irritably and then opened his eyes again . He opened his mouth, glancing at the ceiling .
âWhatâs the matter with you when you say you wonât come for a while?â
Caitelâs voice was quite scary . Dranste wasnât always in the position of being welcomed, but look at how much he hated him . Dranste felt a bit upset .
âDid I live my life wrong?
Suddenly, he felt a sense of skepticism about his life .
As he stood for a moment frowning, the irritating voice of Caitel came out .
âIâve been thinking about it for a long time, but the way he talks⌠I think heâd get stabbed anywhere because he talks that way .
He was polite when he was young . â
Dranste felt the futility of life . In the past, they fought many times because of his way of speaking, but now, they wouldnât anymore because he is the emperor . However, one day, Dranste predicted, something big would happen because of how he talked .
âIâm afraid Iâm not mute yet . â
âClose the curtain . Not yet in the morning . â
As soon as he answered, Caitel criticized him . Dranste looked at the watch and shrugged his shoulder .
âItâs the right time for you to get up . â
He heared the irritating voice of Caitel . He really didnât want to get up . Not knowing how Caitel felt because he didnât sleep, Dranste just looked at him .
Finally, Caitel woke up with his hand on his head with a tired face . He looked dizzy .
âWhile watching you sleep, I started to believe humans truly forget about their past easily . â
Caitelâs eyes turned to Dranste . Dranste faced his eyes with his arms crossed, leaning against the window .
âYou used to have trouble sleeping even for an hour a day, and now look at you . No matter how deeply asleep you are, you used to wake up right away when you sensed me looking at you . â
After hearing the old memories that came out of Dransteâs mouth, Caitel turned his eyes away . With his face chilly eyes, he presses on his forehead .
âAre you a pervert? Quit watching someone sleeping . â
âYour dream is quite fun to look at . â
Caitel glared at him . Dranste shrugged his shoulder at his sharp gaze .
Frankly, the days when the two of them were together was fresh and fun for Dranste, but painful days for Caitel . He hated to talk about that story . It was noticeable when Dranste watched his dreams . Of course, Caitel hated when Dranste appeared in his dreams so much, but it was a problem that Dranste never considered his feelings .
Caitel knew that very well .
