The sunlight was falling .
Caitel looked serious while watching the young emperor before him . Even if he was a rising emperor, he was nothing but a firefly compared to the sun, a sun just like Caitel, who stood tall for years .
He was an opponent that Caitel could bring down if he wanted to, but he didn’t . Not because he disliked the cheeky new one of Pretzia, it’s just that one reason wasn’t enough to trample on a new emperor . Besides, Caitel had lost interest in Pretzia when the past Emperor’s neck fell .
“Well, looking forward to the coming days, I will take my leave . ”
Crimson red eyes full of hostility stared into Caitel .
To be honest, those eyes seemed similar, but Caitel didn’t want to teach the young emperor who didn’t know about life anything . Caitel smiled and turned around .
Again and again, Ferdel greeted the young emperor on Caitel’s behalf .
“I want the peace we promised today to continue till tomorrow . I wish you a peaceful journey . ”
Ferdel should just tell them to hurry up and leave .
It was annoying, but Caitel was patient .
It was because he wanted to send that arrogant and annoying child back to his own country without delay .
A scandal with his daughter .
He could feel the urge in his chest to twist the throat of the young emperor . He didn’t intend to accept marriage proposals from anyone, but he felt like the person intending to ask for his daughter’s hand should be dignified enough to ask Caitel .
He would give his daughter to a man who would put the entire world under his feet, but to a guy who couldn’t even conquer a star?
“I once again thank Your Majesty and Agrigient for the hospitality you’ve shown . I will take my leave now . ”
A woman whom no one recognized was the one doing the greeting and bowing .
Layla . No, was she called something else?
Caitel had seen her hanging out with Ria at times; he could see the nervousness on her face .
She would always pretend to be calm, but she was worried that Caitel would harm her . Of course, if something happened, she would have been stuck here, but Caitel wasn’t the kind to fall for such women .
“Well then . ”
Pretzia bid farewell .
At last, the burdensome tasks ended . When the convoy of the Pretzia started, Caitel turned back .
Rather than that, he had an important thing to do . He had to see how his daughter was doing and comfort her; he wanted to be with her once they all left .
It was only in the evening, after the sunset, that Caitel appeared at Fulgor palace . It was time for dinner . Since his daughter always felt good after having a meal, he wanted to use this time to entertain her .
The only thing which greeted the emperor was the empty room without its owner .
“… where is my daughter?”
An ominous feeling . Whenever Caitel had that feeling, he knew something terrible was about to happen .
At that question, the maids in Fulgor palace began to tremble . They knew Caitel wouldn’t let ordinary lives as theirs see the light of tomorrow . However, they couldn’t answer the emperor .
“Is she bathing? Gone out for a walk?”
He asked, thinking they would spit out an answer, but the maids didn’t utter a single word . Looking at the poor maids who were shivering because of him, Caitel took a heavy breath .
He took a deep breath and exhaled just as heavily to calm himself .
However, that didn’t seem to have any effect . Eventually, Caitel did what he did best .
“Kyah!”
“Your Majesty!”
Shrieks were coming out of the room with objects shattering . Caitel threw anything his hand could grasp to the wall or the ground till Caitel decided to stop .
“Your Majesty!”
While all the other maids ran, Serira approached him . In Caitel’s mind, he wanted to cut off her tongue since it always spoke the right words, but his reasoning would overwhelm his impulses .
“Where did my daughter do, you maid?”
He had a gut feeling, but he had to confirm .
There were Two Winter Moon Knights and guards attached to her, but those incompetent knights let her go . When they returned to Solay, he thought of firing them . Caitel looked away .
Seriria responded slowly .
“The princess isn’t in the palace . ”
“Where did she go?”
Serira stiffened at Caitel’s question .
Shiiing .
Once she said that, Caitel’s sword touched Serira’s throat . If she spoke a lie, he meant to cut her down, but Serira’s expressions were calm as always, as if she knew about this situation .
And Caitel hated that .
“She went out of the palace . ”
“Kyaah!”
A scream erupted from the maids who heard the answer . And Caitel cut Serira’s hair slightly . He didn’t intend to cut her down; he wanted her to fear him .
Caitel raised his hand and called for the attendants who followed him .
“All those who work in this palace will be executed . ”
What he had asked them to do was to protect his daughter, not take their eyes off her .
The attendants were shocked at Caitel’s outburst . No, no matter what wrong they did, to execute Princess Ariadna’s maids was extreme . However, it was an order from the king .
Once done ordering them, Caitel turned back, not feeling an ounce of regret .
Until Serira called for him .
“Your Majesty . ”
He would typically ignore it, but since she was a woman who once saved him, he turned back . She took something out of her hand and showed it to Caitel .
Caitel took the piece of paper with an unpleasant expression . When he opened it, he saw that familiar handwriting .
‘Your Majesty, this girl is inadequate and wants to taste the evil sweetness of the outside air . There, she is trying to leave and see the beautiful world with her own eyes .
‘If Your Majesty understands, then I assume you realize why the girl had to leave secretly instead of telling you because you would catch her .
‘Your Daughter . ’
‘PS . If the people in my palace quit, get sick, or killed, I won’t return . Don’t put them in jail! If you do, I will hate you! I won’t even talk to you ever again!’
What was he reading?
When he looked up, Serira was looking at Caitel . Maybe she didn’t know what was in it . He wanted to rip her heart out, but the letter clearly said not to hurt the maids .
Shit .
“… no need for an execution . ”
The maids, who were crouching and awaiting their eventual death, raised their heads in surprise . And Caitel turned away .
However, he wasn’t backing down .
“Close down the capital and block all borders . ”
Fardel, who would hear the order, might think Caitel went mad, but it didn’t matter . The only thing which mattered was to get his daughter back as soon as possible .
Seeing that Assisi was nowhere to be found, he must have Ria, which made him feel at ease .
“Go and bring the twins and Graecito . ”
“Yes, Your Majesty . ”
The attendants sighed as a new order had been made .
