At that moment Layla’s hand patted my head, a white and small hand . However, it was cold because she was out for too long .
“You must become very happy . Since it would be another tragedy for you, who was born from thousands of tragedies, to be unhappy . ”
Was this a blessing or a curse? Layla smiled, leaving a vague remark about how I should be happy or unhappy . She gave me a white, winter-like smile .
“Someone’s coming . I’ll leave now . ”
I sighed heavily when I looked at Layla’s back gently walking away . Soon, as Layla said, Elene appeared from where I had walked .
How could she know when someone was getting closer? She’s a scary woman .
“Why are you here, Princess?”
“Let’s go back . ”
Even though I already knew that didn’t mean I wouldn’t feel shocked . A part of me was saying that what happened was already in the past, but I could not deny that my mind had been heavier than before . Because my reason, my values, and my belief, said that what Caitel did was not acceptable .
Still, I guessed I had some expectations in my mind that he was not the mad monster he’s always known for since we kept seeing each other constantly .
“Please come, princess . I made some scones for you . ”
“What about pudding?”
“Here you go!”
I felt a little better now . It really was a tough time for me .
I was lost in thought while I was eating pudding . Well, maybe Caitel wasn’t that crazy from the beginning, or was he? Usually, a villain was not a villain from the beginning . It’s true that he’s insane, but maybe there’s a reason why he’s like that . Whatever the reason might be, it wouldn’t justify his actions…
However, I wanted to take his side .
I wanted to tell him to ask for forgiveness, apologize, repent, and stop doing those things again . Was I wrong for thinking this way?
“Is everything all right, Princess?”
“Huh? Ah . ”
Serira looked at me with a serious expression as if she realized how unusually low I was feeling at the moment . She was surely a mother, a mother indeed!
“No . I’m fine . ”
Still, I couldn’t say what I was thinking out loud, so I muttered grimly . Elene and Serira were also feeling a little depressed because I was depressed .
“When will be my father come back?”
“Well, we cannot guarantee . ”
How could they answer so insincerely?
I was not sure . Maybe I would know the answer when I saw him in person . Oh, I didn’t know . My head hurts . It was a story with an answer I couldn’t come up with anyway . In the first place, only in fictional cartoon movies would villains actually pay for what they had done . The reality was really rather dirty . It’s always filled with strokes of bad luck, but I hoped Caitel would start to become a better man .
“Do you miss him?”
“No . ”
I replied in my “What are you asking?” face, but Serira just smiled . Why was she smiling? Oh, so was Elene . I was at a loss as to why they were laughing .
Did I make a funny face?
