âAre you saying that I should be jealous of a woman who risked her life for a mere child? That foolish woman who died right after giving birth?â
âI donât think I said anything like that . â
âThis is none of your business . Shouldnât you be holed up in some tower, weeping over your countryâs ruin?â
âMy, youâre quite rude . â
Things were getting a bit out of hand . What should I do? Should I stop them? I stomped my feet amid this sharp atmosphere . It would have been over if I had just endured and dealt with Tyrenia, but I was worried that Layla might be taking a toll on me .
âPerhaps you are under the impression that we are equals since we live in the same harem, but let me make this clear to you, our positions differed completely . Do you understand?â
How dare she! In the end, sheâs just another accessory to Caitel!
It was Layla who was insulted, but I also felt so angry . How dare she try to ridicule Layla?! I thought that I should just run and strike her with headbutt right now .
At that moment, a cold voice sank around the cold space .
Elene stood beside me while gasping for her breath . It seemed like she ran so fast just to bring him here as soon as possible . The garden grew silent on his arrival . As I turned my head to that familiar voice, I saw the obvious outline of Caitel, who was my only father in this continent .
Tears filled my eyes as I felt a twinge of delight within me . Why did my dad arrive just now!
âIâm seeing someone who reached Evangelium . â
âMay you reach Evangelium . â
The two princesses bowed their heads and lowered themselves to meet the emperor . Their entourage behind them did the same . I stood alone in the space where even Elene and Serira bent over . When he saw me, I ran into his arms .
When Caitel found me, he relaxed his stiffened expression . When I opened my arm, he held me naturally . I hugged my fatherâs neck and breathed a sigh of relief for a moment . I was sort of worried that something might happen!
With me in his arms, Caitel shot his glare to those two princesses . I felt that the violence within him was stronger than usual . I was glad heâs here, but Caitel seemed furious upon seeing this situation . What if something like what happened the other time occurred again?
Itâs not that I liked princess Tyrenia . If anything, I hated her . Still, I didnât want to see her die . More importantly, I couldnât let Layla meet such a fate when she tried to help me . Well, thereâs no choice but to sacrifice myself to save these ladies here .
