What on earth was so complicated about the people around me?
Caitel, Ferdel, Assisi . Oh, maybe except Ferdel . Anyway, I was so simple, but the people around me were all so suspicious . Everyoneâs got a lot of things behind their backs . A woman was beautiful when she had secrets, but what about a man!?
Itâs so hard to pretend like I didnât know that so many times, but I was also uncertain whether I should search it deeply or not . I would like to know, but thereâs no one to tell me! I was curious because I was human too!
On my way to Dadâs office with Assisi .
No wonder I had been feeling so uncomfortable⌠Assisi was reading my countenance earlier, but now, I was trying to understand Assisiâs expression .
Oh, I didnât know anymore . I should just keep walking .
When I arrived at the office, the servant greeted me politely .
Oh, well . I would check on Caitel then return to my room to read a book .
I was supposed to wait until the servant opened the door, but I opened it without waiting for a servant to open the door as always . I was surprised to hear the voice as soon as I opened the door .
âWhat are you talking about?â
âSo, you are saying he isnât your son?â
I tried to close the door quietly and go back, but I stopped at that moment . This was Ferdelâs voice . What were two of them talking about?
âWhat are you saying? Then how do you explain his hair? You think silver-red hair is so common that you can find just anyone in the street with it? I understand how you must feel, but as a man, you shouldnât lie about this sort of thing . Your daughter is alive, and she looks exactly like you . â
It looked like my dad was just talking nonsense again .
Regardless of how they felt, my dad shouldnât deny his own son like that . No matter how I looked at him, he was definitely his son . I was noticing that everyone had been talking about this wherever I went . Itâs borderline traumatizing .
âNevertheless, he isnât my son . â
A low voice flatly denied .
âEven if I seem to be saying this out of desperation, a lie is still a lie . Wouldnât you agree?â
Hmm, his smirk looked even more obnoxious today . Maybe I was not his daughter either . Well, he had always been this way, telling lies and talking nonsense .
âReally? Do you mean it?â
What was the purpose of asking him? It was probably just crazy talk .
I was about to close the door to get back in my room, but the door creaked .
Oh, my . I closed it just a bit more .
It sounded so loud that I was surprised . Why was there such a noisy door in the imperial palace!? Didnât the servants oil the doors?
I was standing still in a panic, and I felt their stares . The two menâs eager eyes made me shy .
