“Oh, my . Princess?”
When I returned to the room, Serira was inside as I left . Serira!
As soon as she came into my sight, something melted inside me . I scowled and got into Serira’s arms with a tearful look . Serira, who was knitting, hugged me with embarrassment . Her body was very warm, with my wide-opened arms tightly holding her . It was enough to melt my dirty feelings .
It was warm . To feel the warmth a little better, I closed my eyes tightly . My rough breathing after running earlier had slowly subsided in her arms . I opened my eyes again after a long time .
Serira hugged me with a smile, even though what I did might be a bit embarrassing because I ran into her all of a sudden . Her lips that touched my cheek made me tear up . She wasn’t as meek as my mother in my previous life . She wasn’t an old lady either, not even older than my age in my previous life, and yet she was already my mother . Yes, she was still my mother, even though she was younger than my mental age .
“Princess, you’re acting strange today . ”
Her voice whispering to me was somehow playful . It’s as if it’s mocking me, so I frowned to show my frustration . Serira smiled little .
“Should we do nothing today but just cuddling?”
Being in her arms again, I nodded my head at her question .
“Yes . ”
This relieved me a little . Now I didn’t know why I was so angry . When I breathed the smell of her body, which I had been smelling since when I was baby, I could finally forget about everything .
Was this what mother’s dignity was? Until now, I felt so shitty that I wanted to destroy everything .
“I thought my princess was good and caring for others, not stubborn and not jealous, so I thought you were mature but-”
What? When I raised my head, Serira looked at me . Her green eyes were like grasses from the deep forest .
“But a baby is still a baby after all . You’re so cute, my princess . ”
She thought I was cute when I felt shitty? Did she want to die?
Serira laughed as I made a sour expression . Serira’s hand patted my head . I gently thrust my nose into her arms as her hand led me .
“But I like it . I love you when you grizzle while being stubborn . I also love it when you are jealous or when you are inconsiderate of others . But I know that my princess still cares for others . My princess is not a stubborn and not a jealous person, right?”
What was I supposed to do then?
It was a very obvious statement, and it was an obvious compliment…
However, I like it . I closed my mouth and buried myself again in her warmth that just accepted for who I was . She just made me feel better just for being there . It’s weird .
I heard the door open and I heared someone, probably Elene, coming in, but I didn’t raise my head in Serira’s arms . Should I just fall in sleep like this? I felt depressed . I was acting like a newborn baby . I knew I was being childish, and I knew it’s immature, and I knew it’s stupid, but… But I couldn’t help it . Because I wanted to do this . Just because she’s an adult didn’t mean she had to hold on to everything .
I couldn’t help myself from feeling hurt for not knowing the reason . Even as an adult, it felt the same; pain did not come exclusively from a young age . Although the wound might not be severe, it’s still a wound .
“Princess—”
I could hear Elene calling me, but I didn’t move my head from Serira’s arms . After that, Elene called a couple more times, but soon, she gave up . Serira asked her in a small voice .
“Do you know what has happened to her all of a sudden?”
“I don’t know . ”
Her voice moaned . I just closed my eyes .
“Well,”
Actually, I wanted to forget all about it and just quietly stay like this, but Elene’s voice lit up my anger . Elene shut her mouth as I raised my head with a scowl .
“I have a guess . ”
“Why don’t you go get a cup of warm tea . Also, get some sweet cakes . I think chocolate cake with chocolate syrup would be good . Or a brownie . ”
If it wasn’t Serira, I would have taken it out on Elene .
“I’ll be right back!”
She could come slowly . I saw Elene run, then I fell back onto Serira’s arms again . Her touch on my back was softer than usual .
Yeah, maybe it’s just my misunderstanding that we’re getting closer to each other . He could have just played with me like a toy . All his concern could be his bait to play me . Everything he did that made me think we were close was probably nothing but an illusion . Yes, it could be . I knew this, I knew .
Still, I couldn’t help but have this feeling surging from my heart even though I knew all about it .
Oh, this was so annoying .
“Princess, eating sweets will make you feel better . ”
I didn’t think so at all . Even if I kept trying to forget, I couldn’t help but remember the cruelty of it all . Why did he look at me like that? Why? He was a totally different person than usual . It wasn’t the Caitel I knew . Oh, well, that’s all my bullshit . If it’s not who I knew, then who was he . Ha, I didn’t know anything after all . My head was completely twisted .
“If you eat something warm, you’ll calm down . It’s okay . It’s all going to be okay . ”
Serira patted me on my head . Her gentle touch calmed me .
The irritation rising from within me disappeared at some point . Maybe Serira was a magician . Otherwise, how could she ease my pain so easily?
I thought I just had a bad dream . Serira smiled . The smile instantly washed away all the anxiety in me .
“Princess, here’s a delicious cake for you!”
