Chapter 78: The Emperor’s Daughter Chapter . 78
The role of princesses and royal ladies in the Harem was simple: just to be displayed . Caitel took them away from their countries but never touched them, and they had no significant restrictions . Of course, there were restrictions as to where they could move, but I heard there were no restrictions imposed on their lives . However, they could be executed at any minute . Just like that princess from Praezia who was executed for making me cry . I still weighed that incident heavily on my mind .
Still, the princesses were treated well in their countries, but now they had to stay in the harem, and they were treated as accessories .
“I was here first . ”
“I know . ”
Did I say something? I knew she was here first .
Of course, it was because I was staring at her, but it was true that she said something out of the blue .
“By the way, did you see anyone else coming this way?”
“No . ”
Then I would go to the other side . I was most concerned as to how I would deal with adults who played too seriously . Well, this was the princess .
Still, I didn’t want to leave her behind just like that, so I stared at the woman in front of me . She’s a real beauty . All the royal family members I saw while studying history as a personal hobby in college were not so pretty, but the world was filled with handsome men and beautiful women . Of course, Silvia was the prettiest .
Was it just because I had a bad taste?
“Have we seen each other before?”
“I don’t know?”
What did she mean by that? Answer me straight!
Still, I got the answer from her little smile . She really was the woman I saw at the Harem that day . It was a few months ago, and I was proud I still remembered all this . Oh, I was so proud of my memory . My intelligence really shone as the days went by .
“What are you doing here?”
“Reading . ”
The woman answered by showing me the book in her hand . I wondered .
“Here?”
Why did she read here out of all the places? Although the garden was large, people were still walking around here from all over the place . Oh, people wouldn’t come because it’s not their usual path?
At that moment, she smiled . That smile caught my eyes . It felt strange because the blue person smiled pale .
“It’s quiet and secluded here . As you get older, you’ll miss a quiet place . ”
What did she say? How old did you think I was? Well, I did look like a 2-year-old . Still, I would be 3 years old in three months .
… I was only 3 years old . I felt like I had lived for a few decades . Time passed quickly, but it was really slow when I thought about it . I was only three years old now!
I got over my frustration and stared at the woman in front of me . Her eyes focused on the book were quite deep . I suddenly felt that her calmness resembled this space . I could feel that she didn’t really pay attention to me, so I thought I could just ignore it and go back . Strangely enough, I kept standing there .
What was it? I just wanted to keep talking to her .
“What’s your name?”
“Layla . ”
Was this her Agrigent name? It seemed like it . She was a princess or a royal lady sold to this Harem . I thought she might be a maid, but she certainly wasn’t . Well, she was too beautiful .
“Is there anything else you want to know?”
She kindly took his concentration off his book to look at me, but I lost my interest in her . The blue eyes I encountered were the color I had never seen before, but it was still strange .
“No, I’m it, so I’m leaving . ”
Layla just smiled and looked back into the book as she did before . I turned around when I saw that .
Where was everybody? I had no idea where to start with this .
