âBut Iâm a woman, arenât I?â
âIt doesnât matter . The important thing is how much you inherited his blood . â
Blood? I tilted my head, and Dranste grabbed my hair .
âAgrigent is just like any other country . The bloodline is what comes first . And the standard measure for that is the blood of a fairy, which is proven by the silver-red hair . More silver means you have more fairyâs blood in you, so your inheritance would come first . â
âThen, arenât we the same?â
âNot at all . Thatâs because fairyâs blood isnât that easy to inherit . â
He kissed the end of my hair, and then Dranste bounced his finger on my forehead .
âAmong the twenty-eight children of Caitelâs father, Emperor Ivan, only three had silver-red hair . â
âWait, what? Twenty-eight?â
I was shocked and frightened at the fact that just heard . What a surprise .
What did I just hear? Twenty-eight?
I looked up as if what I heard was true, and Dranste replied with a playful look .
âThere were sixteen princes and twelve princesses . Caitel was the 14th prince among all of them . â
Fourteen princes, I didnât know that! Whatâs up with that number?
âIs, is that even possible?â
âWell, the formal Emperor really got around . It was normal for him to go to bed with at least five women at a time . He had over forty mistresses in the palace alone . â
ââŚso dadâs been modest . â
So this was him being modestâŚ
I always thought dad was just a vulgar lowlife, but it turns out heâs been rather decentâŚDranste smiled as I shook my head at a belated realization .
Why is he smiling when Iâm serious?
âAnyway, you have Caitelâs blood in you and itâs very strong . â
That should be a good thing, but why does it sound more like a prophecy that Iâll grow up to be mad later on?! Aah, no! Iâm a kind person . I wonât become a lunatic like a dad . I donât want to become an evil lunatic!
Oh, no! No, my personality was gentle . I would never be like Abby, a crazy bitch in this area . I didnât want to be that kind of thing .
âBut I donât want to become the Emperor . â
âWho said youâre going to become the Emperor?â
Oh, he has a talent making people feel mad even when he says the same thing . I stared straight at Dranste . I would bite him off if given a chance .
I would rush to him, but more than I thought, Dranste knew me too well .
âWould you like some? Itâs quite tasty . â
âAre you giving me leftovers? are you treating me like a beggar?â
âNo, Iâm giving you something you havenât tried . â
The sound of food softened further, and Dranste smiled .
What I received was dried food that looked a little like dried fish jerky .
Beef jerky? It was similar to the dried squid . It felt like I was chewing squidâs hind legs .
Seeing his smile of satisfaction as if he knew that I enjoyed it, I wanted to say no, but⌠Letâs put up with it . Bless is fore those who bore it .
