Chapter 421: 421
Chapter 421: The Emperor’s Daughter 421
The most dangerous and uncertain part of my plan was, ‘Can I get out of the palace safely?’ It was challenging to get into the palace’s center, where the security was recently tripled, which made it even hard to escape .
It seemed impossible to run away from home! If I got caught in the middle, it would look like I was just rebelling .
Not wishing to look like that, I found it hard to pull out any profitable operation, but fortunately, Havel’s help solved the most tricky part .
“Take in the new air!”
Valer looked at me with sad eyes and clicked his tongue . I just laughed and stomped on his feet .
“Ahhhk!”
What was that!?
Well, back to the main point… it’s the first time I ever got to breathe in the air outside the palace . Although it was just a bare whip of air because of Pretzia’s procession, it was enough to get me riled up . When would I ever feel such air again?
Oh, right . That wasn’t the time to be dilly-dallying .
“Let’s run away quickly!”
With Valer on my left side and Assisi on my right, I safely managed to come out of the Imperial Palace, but I still wasn’t feeling at ease .
I had no idea when my dad would catch me!
I had to get out of the capital, Girgento, and quickly reach the pre-established escape route . I had to get out as soon as possible .
This was the first time I felt my heart longing for something, and yet, my heart ached for Assisi, who accompanied me .
Unlike his usual stiff expression, Assisi didn’t seem like he had slept the night before . Even Valer seemed to notice the difference in Assisi .
I felt confused .
“Assisi, what is it? Something bothering you?”
With a stern expression taking over his face, Assisi looked at me and asked .
“I am curious as to why that person is here . ”
“Yeah . I’m curious, too; why?”, I asked .
Why was the Emperor of Pretzia heading over to us?
Instead of the glamourous clothes he wore during the departure, Havel, who was standing in front of me was in a simple travel outfit .
I looked over at Havel, who put up a troubled expression .
“You managed to get out of the Imperial Palace because of me, so why am I getting such a harsh treatment? So, you ask for help and never consider them again?”
“No, but why are you here, infamous Emperor of Pretzia . ”
I really didn’t think he would be here .
I knew the envoys of Pretzia headed to the south past the castle .
He didn’t come with them! Oh, no .
I shuddered at the thought .
No, ehh, he wouldn’t do that . No, what kind of a crazy emperor would do that? He wouldn’t .
While I was trying to deny my rampant imagination, Havel smiled .
“I am following you . ”
“What?”
“Your trip . ”
… oh god, now I have someone else blocking my path .
“I am not going on a trip . ”
“Huh? You said it was a trip . ”
I forgot that I had manipulated Valer into helping me . And it seemed like he was the spy .
Ahh, this stupid child .
I hit Valer’s stomach with my elbow and looked over at Assisi, asking him to handle Valer while looking at Havel .
Maybe he was angry, or perhaps he’s smiling inside? Whatever he was feeling, Havel had a subtle expression on his face . A few of the Emperor’s direct guards stood behind him with strange expressions on their faces .
Was he threatening me?
“Don’t like it?”
“I-it’s not like that . ”
“Then, we’ll head over to my palace and talk, okay? I am taking you there . ”

Ugh .
“God?”
That man was such a sly bastard!
At the visible resentment in my gaze, Havel smiled .
I was in an uncompromising position . Honestly, I didn’t like it, and I wanted to flee, but what if Havel returned to my dad and helped Caitel in catching me?
It was obvious what he would do .
In the end, I had to go with the man before me…
“Not possible . ”
As I found it hard to answer, Assisi, who stood beside me, stepped forward .
“Please stay behind me . ”
Since I was used to having Assisi stay quiet behind me, his sudden words and actions surprised me .
Was he really the Assisi I know?
His eyes were stern with no intentions of backing out, which only made Havel frown .
“I think the leader of the group is Ria, right? Why is a mere subject, an escort knight, intervening?”
“As an escort knight, I am in charge of Miss Ria’s safety, and I judge your presence here as an absolute threat . ”
“A threat? How could I be threatening?”
‘”Everything . Your very existence here is dangerous for me . ”
Their harsh words chilled the atmosphere . Of course, I could see why Havel was a threat, but it looked like both of them were willing to go in for a fight . I could see Havel’s knights readying to strike .
I hated taking Havel’s side, but I didn’t want to see Assisi get hurt as well .
Thus, I had to restrain Assisi .
“Stop it, both of you! If you are going to extend this fight, I won’t think twice before throwing you both away!”

They retreated immediately .
… what was with them?
Still, they listened to me, although I didn’t say anything worth retreating from .
“Look around us; everything is refreshing and magnificent, and you chose to defile that with your petty fights?”
“Right . We should leave the capital first . ”
Valer intervened, impatient to leave soon . I felt so touched when he said it .
“Yes, that’s right, my Valer . Get a grip on yourselves, you two . ”
“This oppa is very cool, right?”
“It would have been better if you didn’t say that . ”
“Uhh . ”
Talking with Valer, I looked over at Assisi who was still staring at Havel .
I had never seen Assisi hate someone or glare at them; that moment shocked me .
Why did Assisi hate Havel this much? Well, at the moment, I didn’t know why .
That was when Assisi spoke .
“Should I cut him down?”
“Assisi…”
That was absurd . Assisi was trying to kill people without a reason .
Rather, seeing his firm expression, I knew he would get the task done once I gave the orders . This said a lot about him, but I doubted that both Assisi and my dad had the same wiring in their brains .
Some reason, it looked like Assisi was going to be more problematic to deal with than Valer . Perhaps it was just my imagination, though .
I left Valer’s side and turned to Havel .
“Did you help me escape?”
“You just noticed it now? You don’t seem to be as smart as I thought . ”

Honestly, I thought he would ask for something in return, but I never thought he would want to flee with me .
Ugh, I didn’t know anymore . What could I do? Everything had been prepared beforehand .
Havel knew well that I had no place to retreat to .
I spoke to Havel .
“I don’t care whether you follow me or not, but if you bother me, I’ll throw you away!”
“Fine . ”
“I really mean it!”
“I understand . ”
I would really throw him away .
Havel smiled at my words, a bright smile which only made me feel worse . Ha, I wanted to abandon him already .
I knew Assisi hated it, but I was surprised to see Valer disliking it as well . Havel grabbed my hand .
“And…”
And what?
Havel smiled . I really hoped he wouldn’t ask for something strange .
“Just call me Havel . ”
Wasn’t his “Emperor” title supposed to be placed before his name? He really wanted me to call him by his name?
Really?
