"He executed all the nobles who committed treason and displayed their heads outside the palace . Then he confined his mother to Silentia Palace . As for his sisters… he sold them for a cheap price to greedy people in other countries . "
It reminded me of why people called Caitel a tyrant . He had been more generous recently . That didn't erase his past actions though . What's the point of saying he's not a tyrant when he had been acting like this way? This was something that should be criticized .
"He rose to the bloody throne after stepping on many bodies . That's why your father is called the blood-crazed Emperor, dear lovely princess . "
Her soft-spoken voice was as sweet as a winter melon; sweet, but cold . Although she showed in her smile how she adored my cuteness, I couldn't deny the fact that her eyes were as cold as jewels .
"Bulchi, Celinunte, Susa, Qusi, Tivoli, Parma, Ferrara, Kapua, and Mantova . " It's the names of the dead kingdoms your father exterminated and incorporated into Agrigent in five years . "
Layla smiled and added the names that were now used as Agrigent's territorial names . Her smile was so bright and that made me feel terrible . I didn't know why she was saying this to me . No, I knew, but . . .
"Now, do you realize what kind of person your father is?"
I already knew all of that, so it's nothing new . Anyways, Caitel's impression was the worst for me from the start too . The best one was when he tried to choke me to death when we first met . Well, I didn't die by choking, but still, he was such a man in the first place . I had nothing to be disappointed about . Here I thought he had turned for the better these days, but . . . Well, yeah . People wouldn't change that easily .
"Even your mother didn't come here because she wanted to be here . I don't know if you know, but most of the princesses in the Harem were most loved in their country; the princesses whom kings love the most . Do you know why they've been dragged into a place like this; stuck in one place together and treated like that? It's all because your father officially ordered it . He never took princesses who were being treated poorly . "
Layla's cold voice was filled with deep hatred . It was a deep, sticky feeling that resembled darkness .
"I hate him . "
She added a few more words after that with a smile on her face .
"Though that doesn't mean I hate you as well . "
That's a lie . Normally, the enemy of a parent would hate the child as well . Of course, she would hate me . I would too . However, whether Layla hated me or not wasn't important . What's important was that I felt sorry . One way or another, I was also at fault .
I didn't do anything, but I was also sinner since my father was a sinner .
It seemed unfair that I had to deal with his mistakes simply because I was his child, but on the other hand, I gave it some thoughts . If descendants did not take care for them, then who's gonna have to take care of it? The reason why the descendants of pro-Japanese groups were frowned upon in society was because of this . Yes, if it felt dirty and mean, one would have to be reborn . What could I say? This was a fate I could never take away from myself the moment I was born as the daughter of Caitel . The fact that I was not free from his sins .
I was sure I would see more of these people in the future . I might be hated like this every time I met someone . Suddenly, I was getting a headache about my dark future .
