Chapter 426




Chapter 426: 426
“So… you decided to run away?”
Should I say that I walked out of my independence from the Emperor?
Hearing the phrase ‘run away’ made me feel like I was ungrateful . It would be the first and last time .
No, was the intricacies of my escape that interesting? Wasn’t there at least one person who wanted to flee their house?
“Yes, that sums it up . ”
I was tired, and my words were low .
Was I experiencing regret?
Once the next day came, Ahin entered the inn where I was staying, he did say that he would come over, but I didn’t expect him to really do so . I came to Sherto City and met him .
No, why did it have to turn like this?
If Havel were the one asking it, I would have just laughed out loud .
For some reason, Ahin sat down and smiled; he asked every question very calmly, probably why I couldn’t answer . It was my first time being questioned like this like I was under some kind of mind trick .
We only met once in our childhood; it had been so long that I didn’t even know if he still wanted to help, so why was I being treated like this? Ah, of course, if Ahin informed my father that I was here, I was done for…
Still, my attitude of not being able to answer irritated me . Ahin laughed as he saw me struggle .
… huh?
A sudden laugh, I didn’t know what it meant; he was staring at me . Ahin quickly covered his face and laughed .
‘What? What’s so funny? Why is he laughing?’
I wondered .
Ahin, who was laughing hard, lowered his hand .
“So where are you heading to?”
… now he acted normal; it didn’t work like that . If he were someone I knew well, I would have humiliated him, but unfortunately, he was someone I couldn’t deal with .
Hmm, I lost .
“I’m thinking of going over to Bureti . ”
“Bureti?”
Ahin’s expression stiffened . I wondered why and remembered that Sherto and Bureti were hostile countries .
Right .
If one said they wanted to leap from one hostile country to another, that kind of response was to be expected .
However, that didn’t mean I could cancel my plans, and Bureti wasn’t an enemy to me; it was an ally to Agrigient . I just sat there and fiddled with my fingers to think of an answer . I hated the atmosphere .
“I will accompany you . ”
“Sorry?”
I was shocked at the answer . My mouth went shut, but I was already feeling voiceless . However, I was appalled at what I heard .
‘So, what do you want to do?’
“Even though it looks like this, the North is a dangerous place . I cannot send the princess into such a place all alone . ”
It was his firm declaration; I couldn’t say anything and sat there .
Instead, it was Havel’s reaction which brought me back to reality . He asked with a sneer .
“Why are you so worried when she has me?”
“It is because Your Majesty is with her that I am worried . ”
“Don’t you think coming into a hostile country is more troublesome?”
“This is Sherto; she has a better shot with me than Your Majesty?”
I stood up with shocked eyes after hearing their debate . I was angry .
“STOP IT!”
Fortunately, both stopped right away . I walked in between them and looked at their faces alternatively .
“If you are going to fight, I will leave both of you . ”
“Right!”
I used to deal with such situations between the twins .
Any argument had to cut end in the initial stages .
Both of them went silent . I was looking at the one in the middle of them . They seemed too lively when they were supposed to be arguing? Things would have been a mess if they went further?
I was glaring at them, and they both stepped back to show how relaxed they were . With a grim expression, Ahin asked .
“I can’t come?”
… if he asked me with such an expression, I couldn’t possibly refuse .
Oh, my mind was getting blown over; I wanted to say, ‘Don’t make trouble anymore, so no . ’ Refusing him would be a problem; that would be the worst answer I would give in my life .
“You aren’t going to stop me from helping the Princess, right?”
A threat .
I couldn’t do this, and I couldn’t do that; I was fucked . Valer, who was behind me, raised his hands .
What now?
“I am in favor of my brother; our travel in Sherto would be easy, but bro, would it be okay if you left so soon?”
“I already reported my intent to travel more, so there wouldn’t be a problem with that . ”
Oh, he took care of everything before coming over .
I smiled because I couldn’t even refuse . Even Assisi didn’t seem to hate it . He objected when Havel joined us; I wondered why he didn’t object when Ahin wanted to join . Above all, should I say that the beast behind me was really growling?
Ha, all I could do was sigh .
Well, everyone in the room did .
“Then, thanks for joining us . ”
“Me too . ”
Ahin smiled happily . I thought his smile was pretty, but now, I hated it; I didn’t like it anymore . How could he smile like that? That was when he said .
“You have grown a lot . ”
“Your Majesty too…”
Honestly, Ahin grew up more than me, so much so that he wasn’t even bothered when Havel and I were standing together .
Yesterday, I was shocked when I saw him; I totally thought of him as a playboy . Ah, why did this continent have so many pretty boys? Perhaps the pretty ones just gather around me? Right, when could I ever go on a trip with such beauties? It was a good thought .
“I thought I would see you one day, but I never imagined I would see you like that . ”
“… uh, that . ”
“it is fine . I am glad you weren’t returning . ”
Ahin smiled .
He was glad that I was not returning; what did that mean? Did he think about seeing me someday? Ahin couldn’t leave Sherto, so he couldn’t come over Agrigent . He thought I would come .
Oh well, he sent invitations to me every year . Thanks to the invitation, I managed to pass the border screening safely .
When our eyes met…
Ahin’s ever-glowing eyes and silvery hair wavered as he smiled .
“You haven’t changed… I am glad . ”
Regardless of his smile, I was confused—a trip between the heir of the Northern Empire and the heir of the Southern Empire .
‘This trip, is it really worth it?’
