Suddenly a loud laugh erupted from the side . Ferdel was laughing and cracking his head against the table while grabbing his stomach .
âPffft, oh my god, I canât believe this is really the one and only CaitelâŠ! Aah, geez, sheâs driving me crazy!â
Donât get insane . Well, it seemed like he was already insane anyway .
I couldnât help but sigh when I saw Ferdel, who couldnât take control of his behavior because he was laughing so hard . Even if he enjoyed seeing Caitel getting mocked, did he have to enjoy it that much?
âStop laughing, you fool . â
Would he take responsibility if my dadâs wounded up getting mad because of him? Huh? Caitel nodded at my words .
âFool, she wants you to stop laughing . â
âMy daughter said so . â
What should I do with these childish adults? I just shook my head . My dad and Ferdel, they were both the same .
Once I finished eating the cookie, I started looking for a drink . Caitel gave me a cup of tea in front of him . Wasnât this still hot? It was not hot because it had cooled down, but it tasted terrible since my tongue was that of a child How could they drink this?
When I frowned my due to the taste of the tea, Caitel smiled slightly . I felt like maybe he fed this to me on purpose . I couldnât refuse because I already lost my trust in my father .
âSheâs busy raising the twins . She seems quite sad that the princess isnât visiting often . The children want to see you too . â
âHmm? But they canât talk yet . â
The twins should only be six months old now . Whey could not be normal human beings if they already could speak fluently . Ferdel turned his eyes after hearing my answer as if it frustrates him .
âW, well⊠their inner voices?â
Ferdel laughed awkwardly, feeling like I was looking at him with cold eyes . Like me, Caitel gave him a pathetic look . Tsk tsk . How could he live like that?
âYour Majesty, the emissaries from Esnia are requesting an audience . â
The servant, who came out of nowhere, spoke while bowing his head . At the same time, Caitelâs sigh touched my cheek . He quietly narrowed his brows . Again? Heâd be speaking with some people again for another treaty . Was it because of an agreement or something? Itâs already been over half a year since the war ended, but he still had to deal with the repercussions . I felt bad for him . He couldnât even play with me .
âIâll watch over the princess, so you go ahead . â
Ferdel pointed the door as if he wanted Caitel to leave now .
At the moment, daddy looked at me .
Huh? Huh? Why? Did he want me to smile at him again?
âIf that pervert touches you, execute himâ
Caitel smiled . Still, he was mocking him, but now, I could tell if heâs smiling because heâs feeling good or if heâs having a hard time . This particular smile of his was the one he used when heâs in a good mood .
I didnât want to come when Caitel called me over before, but now, I didnât want to send him away . I hugged Caitel and held his cheek tightly and kissed daddy with a âpipâ sound . Now he would work, so I should at least do this for him . Caitel smiled after receiving my kiss . He also left a little kiss on my forehead .
Caitel got up, and I stood on a chair in my lonesome . I then leaned over and waved at his disappearing figure . On the way out, Caitel looked back . I showed a pretty smile, as beautiful as I could . There was no response, but I felt like Caitelâs face had softened . Once he left, a shallow void permeated within the area . Itâs just one person who left the room, but why did I feel so empty?
âP, Princess! Itâs dangerous!â
I shook myself to sit down, but the chair rocked back in response . Uh, uh! I almost fell, but fortunately, Ferdel grabbed me . I was glad I didnât fall, butâŠ
âOh, you touched me!â
At that moment, a heavy silence subsided between us .
Caitel said I should execute him if he touched me . Ferdel looked like he also couldnât ignore that since was the one who ordered it Caitel a few minutes ago . It must be difficult for him too . Ferdelâs face turned pale .
Now, what should I do? Huh?
Ferdel trembled as I smiled .
âP, please have mercy on me this time . â
