Chapter 436: The Emperorâs Daughter 436
I took the smallest frame painting he had and returned to meet the party . That was when Assisi asked me when he noticed me looking at the picture .
âDid you like the painting that much?â
I showed him the picture and asked, but Assisi just shook his head .
âI am not so sure . â
He looked at me with a weird look .
âJust⊠itâs weird . â
âThat is the charm of this painting . â
Giggling, I looked at the painting again .
A town painted in dull dark purple colorâthe appearance of bizarrely painted people .
âThe world doesnât need just pretty things . â
Assisiâs expression stiffened at my words . I smiled at it .
I would treasure it and hang it in my room once I returned . The old paintings in my room might cry, but this one in my hand seemed a lot more precious to me .
As I walked a little more, I saw Valer in the distance . Once I saw him, I raised my hand .
âValer, look at this!â
Suddenly, I heard a loud groan from the side; I turned my head without realizing this . A man was grabbing a woman by her hair and pulled her .
People gathered in an instant to see what was happening . I couldnât understand what was going on, but it was so noisy that I kept on looking at it .
What was it? I was feeling scared .
The woman, who was getting dragged, continued screaming . Right behind the couple were children following them, crying .
âMove! Wonât you move?! How dare you!?â
Ugh, a lot was happening .
I was staring at it, shocked . I could hear the sound of people clicking their tongues, but no one would walk ahead to help her .
Hitting her head and kicking her, and when the kids stopped him from hitting the woman, he would catch the kids and punch them; he didnât seem human .
Did I feel scared? I was shocked by the violence I saw and grabbed Assisiâs arm; I was so distracted that I didnât even notice it; even Assisi seemed different . Seeing his hands clenched, I was puzzled .
It was a natural reaction, but it was shocking to see Assisi react like that .
âAck! Dad, please save me! help me!â
Suddenly, the children were thrown away, and the boy was getting hit while he screamed for the pain to stop . People were speaking words of concern, but none of them moved .
At that time, Assisi, who flinched at the sight of children getting hit, couldnât stand it anymore and moved . I was shocked when he walked out of my side .
It felt like he turned into someone else . A stranger, Assisi walked with a grim expression on his face, as if facing an enemy, and held the manâs hand, preventing him from beating the children further .
âIs he the Assisi I knew?â
âWhat are you doing?â
I never thought Assisi would lose to a man like that, but I couldnât help but worry . As I ran over, the man looked at me with anger on his face .
âWhat is with the woman there? You two have nothing to do with this, so fuck off!â
âAssisi, you arenât going to kill him, right?â
This was the first time I saw Assisi like that . He seemed angry . I lived with Assisi for a dozen years or more; never had I seen him like that .
For Assisi to get angry, no, it couldnât be . I was confused . I had seen him irritated, but never like this .
Assisi let go of the manâs hand, but before I could see what happened, the man was thrown to the street .
Assisi didnât do anything else but watched the man try to get himself up . Was that man so weak? I felt pathetic for feeling afraid of such a man .
No, that wasnât the problem .
Assisi, who threw the man, approached the children .
As I watched the children stand up, Valer, who was far away, came over .
Instead of answering, I sighed and replied while touching the temples of my forehead .
âLook for a place to stay nearby . â
