Chapter 443: 443
It was all because we got caught before entering the capital .
What I meant was, one of the twelve relics which protect Bureti was a clock that rang loudly to warn the people when someone who could change the fate of the country entered .
What the hell .
A person who could change the fate of the country .
I was the princess of Agrient, Havel was the Emperor of Pretzia, and Ahin was the successor of Shertogenbosch . It would have been weird if we weren’t caught .
After hearing their reason, we were flustered, but we thought about it . Bureti was the kingdom of Northern Witches and my mother’s country .
“Did you know?”
It was a quick question, but I guessed it wasn’t weird for the men following me . Assisi suddenly appeared and bowed his head like a sinner .
“Yes . ”
I was a little angry .
When I learned that Assisi knew the truth about my mother and I was kept in the dark and that Bureti had worked tirelessly to meet me and tell me the truth about my mother, it was natural for me to get angry . It was supposed to be a story told when I was young if no one stopped the flow of the information .
“Why hide it?”
“Your Majesty…”
Assisi raised his head . His beautiful eyes stared into mine .
“He didn’t want the princess to know . Bureti wanted to meet the princess, and he refused . That was why a messenger of Bureti always stayed in our outer palace . ”
I had met a lot of envoys but never met anyone from Bureti .
Right, I understood . Everything started making sense now .
“Your Majesty thought that it would be better to erase the mother side of the family for the princess . Whatever the outcome, I want you to know that he did it for your sake, princess . ”
Even in such a messed up situation, Assisi defended my dad .
I glared at him .
They both were the same kind of men . The feeling of wanting to hit them rushed over me .
I exhaled heavily .
“I hate my dad . ”
Right, hate . I hated him before, but listening to Assisi’s words made me hate him even more .
“But even then, I hate that I still love him . ”
What could I do? He was my dad .
I got angry at my dad and hated him, but at the same time, I could understand his reasons . Whatever it was, he didn’t want me to get hurt . In addition, he must have thought that I would be taken over to my mother’s country .
Ugh, that idiot!
Even then, I couldn’t pick a side .
I decided to talk to him later .
“Good night . ”
After bidding farewell, I turned and walked away .
It was the first conversation I had after a few days, and it wasn’t awkward . He didn’t follow me, and it didn’t matter to me either . I wanted to be alone .
“Mom…”
It’s funny . I had come to Bureti to know how my mom looked like .
I had a vague idea based on what people said . She was a beautiful woman with green eyes and blonde hair . Later, when I was old enough to understand them, no one talked about my mother in the palace .
For the first time, I was grateful that people talked .
Otherwise, I would have been in Bureti without even knowing the basics about my mother .
In the largest hall of the mansion, I saw a picture frame that was twice the size of my height .
There was a portrait drawn of a woman .
She was a girl of my age with blinding beauty .
How should I put it?
My mom was a beauty . Yes . I couldn’t believe that the woman was my mom .
It was a preconceived notion that my mom was an average looking person with frizzy hair . Of course, I hadn’t seen such beautiful women after my reincarnation .
Could she be? I really couldn’t believe that the woman in front of me was my mother, the one who smiled brightly with her golden hair flowing down like a waterfall .
Mom was a beauty .
I could be pretty because I had my mom’s genes in me . Yes, as expected from the power of genealogy .
It was probably because I came to my mother’s country and met my grandfather and aunt, whom I didn’t know existed . After their endless talks and stories, the night came . It was unfortunate that I had to go back to sleep, but we walked away because I felt so excited that I couldn’t sleep .
A gentle wind touched my face .
“Not asleep yet?”

I turned my head at a familiar voice . Ahin came into light .
“And you Ahin?”
“I couldn’t sleep . ”
His low answer made me smile .
“Same here . ”
After hesitating a little, Ahin approached me .
The place where his head turned to was the portrait of my mother .
After a careful look, Ahin smiled .
“Is this the princess’s mother?”
“Yes . ”
I answered Ahin’s question .
“She is beautiful . ”
“Even I think that . ”
Ahin looked at me as I agreed with his statement .
I coughed as he kept on staring at me .
Ahin smiled brightly . I often saw him smiling, but for him to look this bright was a first for me .
It was good to smile, but why was he smiling?
I opened my mouth .
“What’s there to smile about?”
Ahin tried to hold back his smile and answered .
“Because you are cute . ”
Again with that .
I thought that it was ridiculous, but I shut my mouth after knowing that he wouldn’t give a proper answer . He laughed again, but then his laugh came to an end as Ahin asked me with a severe expression .
“You seem like you have a lot of concerns . ”
“I can’t say there are none . ”

At my answer, Ahin smiled .
Ahin’s smile had some kind of effect on me . It was easy to see .
“Let it out . ”
Wow, I sighed out loud at those words .
“I’m wondering why my mom gave birth to me . ”
It was a story I couldn’t tell anyone because I was anxious about it all the time . Suddenly, my chest felt heavy .
I took a deep breath .
“Of course, I am happy now since I’m living among the people I love, but I just get curious about it at times . Why did she give birth to me? Things like that . ”
“Everyone has the same question about their existence . ”
His soft voice felt soothing, and the fact that he was the one who said it made me at ease .
“Even Ahin?”
“… well . ”
Ahin was somewhat unfamiliar with helping others, yet his voice sounded pleasant .
“I can’t say no . ”
Did that mean that Ahin has the same worries as me? I was a little puzzled . He didn’t have any reason to worry about that .
He was as tall and stern as a mountain, so I never thought Ahin would shake . I guess the prejudice broke . Well, it felt a little weird .
“Don’t worry too much . ”
When I looked up and locked eyes with Ahin, he said .
“There are a lot of people besides the princess, including me . ”
Ahin was silent for a moment as if he was ashamed . It felt like he couldn’t speak about it .
‘W-what? What’s with this situation!?’
For an embarrassing moment, the silence around us grew, an unfamiliar emotion .
“In the past…”
Ahin looked down while speaking .
“I think there was a time when I was standing like this . I feel like, for some reason…”

When? It seemed like a similar thing happened in the past, something I couldn’t remember .
When did it happen?
I tried to bring up my old memories when Ahin reached out to me . I tried to step back in surprise but Ahin’s hand moved quickly and touched my hair .
“Hair… your hair is growing . ”
Ahin’s gaze was fixed on my hair; it felt strange . The feeling of being tickled and nervous at the same time .
“Right . I was worried because it was getting long . I couldn’t cut it myself . ”
“Long is pretty . ”
Uh…
It wasn’t that I was pretty, but why was I embarrassed?
“In the past…”
My hair was flowing down till my waist . Ahin’s fingers reached for it . His gentle stroking made me groan . I was caught up in a strange feeling I never heard, and I couldn’t even think of what to say until I looked up at Ahin .
“That…”
“You need to go to bed . ”
Before I could even say anything, Ahin spoke .
Well, yeah, he had to take away my chance to speak .
‘Hey, look here!’
‘My heart is still pounding loud without calming down . ’
Then, I didn’t know when it happened, but Ahin stole my lips .
Huh? Huh!? Huhhh?!
“Sweet dreams . ”
… What just happened!?
