Chapter 96: Chapter 96: The Emperorâs Daughter Chapter. 96
âHe executed all the nobles who committed treason and displayed their heads outside the palace . Then he confined his mother to Silentia Palace . As for his sisters⌠he sold them for a cheap price to greedy people in other countries . â
It reminded me of why people called Caitel a tyrant . He had been more generous recently . That didnât erase his past actions though . Whatâs the point of saying heâs not a tyrant when he had been acting like this way? This was something that should be criticized .
âHe rose to the bloody throne after stepping on many bodies . Thatâs why your father is called the blood-crazed Emperor, dear lovely princess . â
Her soft-spoken voice was as sweet as a winter melon; sweet, but cold . Although she showed in her smile how she adored my cuteness, I couldnât deny the fact that her eyes were as cold as jewels .
âBulchi, Celinunte, Susa, Qusi, Tivoli, Parma, Ferrara, Kapua, and Mantova . â Itâs the names of the dead kingdoms your father exterminated and incorporated into Agrigent in five years . â
Layla smiled and added the names that were now used as Agrigentâs territorial names . Her smile was so bright and that made me feel terrible . I didnât know why she was saying this to me . No, I knew, but . . .
âNow, do you realize what kind of person your father is?â
I already knew all of that, so itâs nothing new . Anyways, Caitelâs impression was the worst for me from the start too . The best one was when he tried to choke me to death when we first met . Well, I didnât die by choking, but still, he was such a man in the first place . I had nothing to be disappointed about . Here I thought he had turned for the better these days, but . . . Well, yeah . People wouldnât change that easily .
âEven your mother didnât come here because she wanted to be here . I donât know if you know, but most of the princesses in the Harem were most loved in their country; the princesses whom kings love the most . Do you know why theyâve been dragged into a place like this; stuck in one place together and treated like that? Itâs all because your father officially ordered it . He never took princesses who were being treated poorly . â
Laylaâs cold voice was filled with deep hatred . It was a deep, sticky feeling that resembled darkness .
She added a few more words after that with a smile on her face .
âThough that doesnât mean I hate you as well . â
Thatâs a lie . Normally, the enemy of a parent would hate the child as well . Of course, she would hate me . I would too . However, whether Layla hated me or not wasnât important . Whatâs important was that I felt sorry . One way or another, I was also at fault .
I didnât do anything, but I was also sinner since my father was a sinner .
It seemed unfair that I had to deal with his mistakes simply because I was his child, but on the other hand, I gave it some thoughts . If descendants did not take care for them, then whoâs gonna have to take care of it? The reason why the descendants of pro-Japanese groups were frowned upon in society was because of this . Yes, if it felt dirty and mean, one would have to be reborn . What could I say? This was a fate I could never take away from myself the moment I was born as the daughter of Caitel . The fact that I was not free from his sins .
I was sure I would see more of these people in the future . I might be hated like this every time I met someone . Suddenly, I was getting a headache about my dark future .
