Chapter 51: The Emperor’s Daughter Chapter . 51
I suddenly subsided before a wave of emotion could pass . I was still feeling depressed . Did it matter if I was human? My dad was already inhuman .
“You’re not human!”
I said very confidently and Serira gasped behind . However, I didn’t waste my last 18 months . I grinned as if I knew nothing . Papa, I was just a little child who knew nothing . Still, he’s not human . Only I was . I couldn’t give up on that .
“P, princess, you have to go take bath if you are done with your dinner . ”
As soon as I finished my meal, Serira hastened . She was worried I might get some kind of punishment . Serira held me, but I pulled her collar .
Put me down! I wanted to walk! I wanted to walk!
Serira sighed and put me down . I looked back as I was leaving the restaurant . Caitel was eating a salad with his chin tucked up .
“Papa!”
When I got close to him, Caitel looked at me . I waved my hand to asked him to lower his head a little . He looked at me for a moment before complying to my request . I beckoned him to bend his head more . That’s still too tall for me!
Caitel’s face was slightly wrinkled . As soon as I felt his irritation at me, I tip-toed up at him and kissed his cheek . Chu! Hehe, I did it . I suddenly felt embarrassed and ran back to Serira . Two stiffened figures look at me . I smiled and waved my hand at Caitel .
“See you later, daddy!”
It’s already passed for two weeks . Time flies so fast .
Well, It’s been a year and a half since I was born . when I thought about it, time really shot past me . Oh, but wasn’t this a little too much!? I felt like I was wasting my life for nothing . I almost felt like I was unemployed . Well, these were what’s common at this time . Still, no matter how much I thought about it, I couldn’t get rid of the feeling that I was useless in many ways .
There’s nothing I did in particular, nothing to I was preparing for other than just eating, playing, sleeping and growing all day long . This boring life even made me want to study something, sob sob . However, I heard that children here started studying when they were five or six years old . Oh, it was so boring .
“Princess, please stop rolling over there . That’s the bare grass . ”
Oh he should have left me alone . It’s the same garden, there would be no problem for not having a blanket under . I rolled around and ignored Serira’s voice . I had been living my life too rough . I was sick of this peaceful sorry excuse of a life, it was bullsh*t .
I was suddenly scared my life would remain this way even if I was twenty-five years old again . I didn’t want to live a life without any purpose, no emotion, no fun, no interest . The biggest joy was watching television . My fucking past life . How the hell did I live my life like that anyway?
“Princess!”
I rolled and rolled and ended up right in front of the winter tree . Oh my, as my body touched the tree, suddenly great cold spread out . Oh my! Were they surprised at my high body temperature? However, I was surprised too . I thought I would die frozen .
“Oh my, are you all right?”
Serira ran to me frighten, as she had seen the chill from the trees . I shook my hand saying it was okay .
“All right!”
“Princess, your hands are cold!”
“No, I’m fine!”
I was really feeling fine . Serira was so devoted to me she couldn’t get away with it . I looked down at her hand and turned my eye to the winter tree . Over the years, I could feel that my standards had set for this world . Also how human got judged greatly on their appearance .
I started to act out what I was thinking, and now everybody told me I finally acted like the right age . I didn’t really mean that . I got compliments when I ate my meal without being picky or stayed quiet when I change my clothes . Living as a baby was quite difficult . Well, what could I do when my mind was not a baby . Ah, so boring .
“Do you like the winter tree, princess?”
“Yes . ”
The tree that came into my eyes was white even to the stem . Like snow . I felt like it would get steamed when I blow it .
“Why do you like this tree?”
Why? Well .
Suddenly, I remembered the old story Serira told me when I was six months old . The story of this winter tree .
The first king of Agregiant was half spirit and half human . He was extraordinary since his childhood, and people hated him . When he was dying, it was the spirit of Elverone who saved him . He was friends with a winter spirit from the Elverone mountain . The spirit helped him meet a great teacher . Later, he built the Agregiant Kingdom . On the day when he built the kingdom, he finally met the winter spirit of Elverone mountain .
Nobody knew if they fell in love, but later when the king passed away, the winter spirit was said to have taken root in this tree . That’s why it’s called the winter tree .
“Pretty . ”
Maybe that’s why I felt like I could hear something from this giant white tree . Something rich and delicate like a melody . Of course, it’s just my delusion .
“It is pretty though . Still, please stay away from it . You might get sick . ”
However, even the dog didn’t get summer cold!
My protest didn’t work though . I came back to the original place we put a blanket down . Ohh, I hated when nobody listened to my opinion because I was a baby! Well, I didn’t think nobody would still listen to me even when I got older . Come to think of it, no matter how good the ending would be, political marriage would be my ending . Oh, it’s screwd
I refused to talk about marriage like it’s all about women’s happiness . However, that didn’t mean it didn’t matter in my life . It’s important . Under the name of my husband, I would decide the face I would see every day . It would be a political marriage anyway, so I never dreamed of love in my marriage . I just didn’t want my husband to be an asshole . Was that too much to wish for? At least I hoped he’s a sincere man to me . Oh, I couldn’t believe I have to worry about these things at my age . This world is rotten . Sob sob .
“Elene will bring pudding soon . ”
“Pudding!”
My eyes flashed suddenly while discussing the absurdity of life . I liked pudding! Serira laughed as I turned around with a big smile . She picked up the knitting she had left behind and measured it on my body . What, you wanted to make me a sweater?
“You’ve grown a lot, my princess . You were used to be this small . ”
Did I? Actually, I felt that my height had changed, but I didn’t care if I was growing or not . To be honest, I didn’t really feel like I grew up, except when I walked or run . Why?
“You haven’t seen his Majesty often lately . Aren’t you sad?”
Huh? No, I was enjoying it since it’s more comfortable . I didn’t have to force myself to laugh . However, it’s a little bit too much to say that to her . Well, in this case, just Smile!
“Serira!”
I didn’t know anything! When I smiled and avoided answering, Serira looked down at me like I was a silly child . I didn’t know if she knew that I did that on purpose or not, but I still could read the emotion in her eyes .
A warm loving eye looking at me .
