āThatās right! Why donāt you try some, your Majesty?ā
Serira smiled proudly next to me . I just wanted to cry . I didnāt expect my mom to do this to me, really . Why was my mom doing this to me?! Why was she offering him the cake?! Couldnāt he just have a look at it then put it away?! I was about to cry!
Even Assisi sent me a shocked look . I just wanted to die . Ha, I just couldnāt look at that ugly thing⦠I should bury my face in it and end this now .
Itās been a long time since the last time I wanted to die⦠I just wanted to disappear right nowā¦
Dad looked at me with a blank face . Then, he watched Serira take the cake out of the cake box and cut a piece for him .
I was more anxious about my present because he didnāt look happy at all . āHeavens above, please just take me now! Iām begging you! Please!ā
āHereās your piece . Try some . ā
Serira passed the piece of cake to dad . I managed to put up with the urge to scream . No! Aaagggghhh! Ugh! I would never ever bake another cake againā¦!!
āItās stiff and tastes burnt . ā
Excuse me?! What did he just say?
I knew heād say something like that, but itās still annoying . I really tried my best to bake that! Hmph! Fine, I was sorry for burning his cake! I knew I was not skilled at baking!
Although I was baking with the best patissier of the empire, that cake showed how untalented I was in cooking . My father suddenly smiled as I pouted my lips .
But⦠although he complained that itās burnt, he was still eating it all . Seeing him like that made my heart flutter a bit⦠What was this feeling?
āAt least it tastes good . ā
Was he⦠actually giving me a compliment?
And he had such a gentle smile on his face . The smile was not much different from the smile I saw every day, but I sometimes felt that he would show a satisfied, warm smile . I was worried⦠I was really worried, but I felt relieved to see this reaction . It was all worth it once I saw that smile . Dad smiled .
āBut, donāt ever make this sort of thing again . ā
⦠for a second there, I was almost moved . I guess he never changed!
