Chapter 68
Chapter 68: The Emperor’s Daughter Chapter . 68
I was not confident enough . I didn’t know if I could stay calm if he ignored me again . Should I just pretend to be sick? Maybe I could injure myself… I lifted my head to look at their eyes as they both gawked at each other . Huh? What’s wrong?
“Princess!”
“Huh?”
Surprised by the sudden call, I took a step back . This wasn’t good . An ominous hunch came upon the tip of my toes . Elene smiled sweetly .
“Princess, give this to His Majesty . ”
What Elene gave me was a white handkerchief . The letter “A” was inscribed on the end .
“What is this?”
“It’s your handkerchief . ”
My handkerchief? Since when did I have one? They both laughed, not caring about my puzzled look . What’s with the energy around them right now? I feel like they’re plotting some sort of evil conspiracy .
“Why a handkerchief?”
I asked her back with a puzzled look . Serira smiled brightly as she took a handkerchief from Elene’s hand and gave it to me .
“You have to give it to His Majesty . ”
“Why?”
I was so surprised that my voice grew louder . No, but all of a sudden, what was she talking about? Why should I give my handkerchief to him? It was true that I was surprised at the unexpected news, but I was so surprised by the loudness of my voice that I closed my mouth shut . My head suddenly felt complicated . Serira replied quietly, touching my hair like in a gentle way with a tender, gentle voice . Perhaps that’s why my heart, which was suddenly pounding, had gradually found its own pulse .
“It’s to bid farewell and pray for his well-being . ”
“Well-being?”
“You’re bidding to his Majesty to ‘come back safely’ . ”
No, I knew that, but why do I have to do that?
“It’s a tradition for a lady to give a present to her knight . ”
Serira smiled and said, but I let go of the handkerchief immediately .
“No . I won’t do it!”

Who cared if he came back or not!? I didn’t want to see his face today . No, it’s more of horror to me that I should face him than that . I just wanted to get away with it . It’s awkward to go out to see him, but he wanted me to hand him this? Did he think he’s gonna get it if I gave it to him? Perhaps I should now leave this princess’ seat to live like the emperor’s bastard and an illegitimate child . I had been here all these years with the favor I had been getting from him . No, other than that…
What if he rejected me in front of the crowd? It was a very different kind of fear .
“Go ahead . This is something only you can do, princess . ”
“No!”
“Princess—”
They didn’t even understand how I felt! This was a serious problem . If I was disgraced there, all of them done, too! Still, Elene and Serira were forcing me through .
“Normally, the Empress should be doing this, but since there is no empress at the moment, you must do it . Don’t you think so?”
“Princess, are you will send your father without a token of goodwill? He’s going to a ruthless battlefield . ”
“If he leaves, you won’t see him for at least 6 months!”
Two women are tightening from the sides . Even if I struggled to avoid going, it was me who was exhausted after hours of a scuffle . Why was my opinion always ignored!? I wanted to be respected, sob .

It was in Estela Palace, whose name was not familiar to me, where I went with much impatience .
A loud roar rumbled my eardrum . From the nobles I saw for the first time to the nobles I often encountered, the court members were all present . They wanted me to give him a gift in front of all these people? Were they crazy!?
Looking back, Serira smiled and held me .
‘Let go of me! Let me go!’
By the time I arrived in the middle of a scuffle, the ceremony was already coming to an end . However, where the hell was my mom taking me? This entire ceremony was crazy! It’s as crazy as a marriage!
“Your Majesty . ”
Oh, shit . Tens of thousands of troops, who had broken ranks below the podium, were at a crossroads . The nobles gathered, in addition, Caitel was wearing his uniform . It was my first time seeing it . The midsummer sun shone intensely . I gulped down my saliva .
“Quickly now, princess . ”
Serira’s urging was already out of my hearing .
What was I supposed to do? Run? Fortunately, Caitel was standing against the sun . I couldn’t see his face . That was rather fortunate, indeed .

Maybe I would hand it to him and run before he could reject me . Right, that seemed like the best option . For some reason, my hands were sweating, but I couldn’t even think of cleaning it . I went to stand in front of Caitel . Someone, please save me .
“This is a gift…”
I tried to run away, but I froze up; I couldn’t move . Why wouldn’t they just turn my head? The eyes of all the people here felt like they were poking me like an awl . I felt like I was standing naked . What was I supposed to do?
Meanwhile, that darn father of mine wasn’t responding . Would I be ignored again just like yesterday?
