"Is it you ? The one who caused my daughter to cry so ferociously ."
Even through he was my dad, when he came to visit which was quite frequent I often tsked my tongue thinking that man is good looking .However that place was my room and the only one to compare him to was Serira so I was like yeah that why I react that way .....
"Why is there no answer?"
But I never knew his frivolous attitude with that faint smile on the edge of his lips made him shine so much . Ah, so shinny . When he gives me that frivolous face before I had always wanted to hit him . I don't know if it because his arrow was pointed the other way but today his figure looked appropriately desirable.
The princess was shivering pitifully .Just looking with a glance at her physical state you can tell how much she was shaking.She was just twenty something. Did I just cry for nothing and summon a demon ? I regretted it a bit.
See why did you have to hold me?! Who told you to hold me ?!
It was such a uncomfortable situation that I felt quite quite peculiar .
At that moment the princess lowered her head.
"I just held her that all"
Her voice was already breaking due to fear . Usually when such a delicate lady talk wile shivering it causes one person heart to be moved and sympathy to grow even if one had none but my father is the exception , or a not a man or was too spoiled with women but his face show blatantly that he didn't pity her at all.
"with whose permission ?"
Caitel gaze was cold as he cut her off .
Instead of being dunked in cold water like before the as if we were in a snowstorm in Siberia.
I never knew a person could look at another human being with such cold eyes until now .
"With what right did you held our daughter sama ?"
Ah, um ....you were just calling me your daughter ,why is it daughter sama all a sudden ?
No, This isn't the problem right now.
Because for a moment I broke out in cold sweat .
Ah, goosebumps
It was such a strong killing intent that if I had been a normal baby I would have felt my life in danger and burst out crying .Seriously this human is a ticking bomb . I think It hundred times better when he was just sneering at people with his usual twisted smile.
His current expression was not the usual one he was showing when it was just the two of us .Both expressions were unreadable but this is the first time I felt this much horror at not being able to see any expression in a human face.
I don't know what he is thinking .
I don't know what he is feeling.
There was a feeling of something crawling slowly on my skin.
I couldn't take it anymore and whimpered .
Serira, save me! Even if this guy my father this is not right!
As soon as I let out a sound Caitel lowered his sight to look at me. As soon as he did I tried to straighten out my scrunched up face.
Will he really kill a three month baby for scrunching her face ?
.....yes he will definitely kill.
Uncertainty has always taken people.(this is a Korean saying)
This is not a uncertainty since it seems he will definitely kill me!
I lowered my eyes without making a fuss.
Whimper whimper (dog sounds)
Then suddenly he laughed.
"This is the first time I held my own daughter."
His eyes gently turn into half moon. His smile was as attractive as painted by a artist .The Italian Renaissance artist Leonardo da Vinci painting the Mona Lisa has a mysterious smile that through many generations has caught the hearts of all of humanity all over the world.Therefore this man smile right in front of me could also mesmerizes all of current humanity .I have heard that too much beauty is poison.
So this saying was for him. I wailed inwardly.
The whiten princess Faylene apparently has already crossed the river of no return. Her face has always been pale but now all the blood has left her face to the point I thought of a A4 paper. Her lips that were like red rose petals have turned purple .
"Was it five thousand gold?"
Why are you suddenly asking about gold , father ?
I thought it was so random when I heard a sigh.
Huh?
I slowly turn my head and saw Serira standing still clasping her hands. Nanny was also pale but not as much as the princess. She was barely staying in her place .
Of course the cause of all this Ellen was playing dead and standing completely still with her head lowered.
You are a serious troublemaker. (T/N real pain in the ass)
"For the price of your body?"
With his chin lifted and a with a look as if he was looking at bugs he looked down on her .The look he gave her was full of contempt and disgust .The eyes were cold enough to freeze one heart and his face was no longer blank but held a bright smile .That gentle smile he gave just pushed the recipient more further into a comer .
Ah I really hate it .
I already knew he was the heavenly king of the heavens and lone tyrant but I have never until now met someone who so shamelessly displayed this attitude right in your face .Of course I include my past life too. I could not describe it simply with just words .He was so arrogant , cocky and imperious that it was impossible to express.
Was I, a person that was this inarticulate? I need to go study grammar and learn to be a lot more articulate since I can't even express this feeling with words .
"There no answer."
Caitly said lazily as he caress my cheek with one hand as if he was stroking a cat .
That called talking to oneself. No, he not talking to himself ....but he urge her for a reply.
"It was twenty, twenty five thousand."
She wasn't a idiot who couldn't understand what he meant so she fearfully made herself busy answering him.
"The dowry payment was twenty five thousand for my sister and I."
She has a sister .Oh no. What to do? She is so pitiful.
Now I wanted to cry for another reason . To think I can't even cry when I wanted to! To think ,
Just by crying at the wrong moment what kind of great case is this ?
The way this is going I will set a record for killing a foreign princess at just three months old.
Ah, father sama , father sama, please have mercy.
Of course he will probably be like "What is Mercy?" "Grunt Grunt" .He that kind of guy .
Even through I know it going to happen I can't help myself from begging . I hate that woman but I don't hate her to the point to kill her !
What kind of person kills someone he dislike ?
"Perdel"
A moment of silence passed when a fresh voice respond from behind .
"Yes, your highness"
Wait,stop Perdel?
For some reason his name sounds familiar .His voice seems really familiar too.I feel like I heard it before .I don't know if it because there are so few voices I heard since my birth but I could immediately recall his voice.
Ah! He that brother that follows Caitel like a stalker . He seems like a high status bro.What kind of brother is he?
"Tell the Emperor of Praezia I will send another twenty five thousand."
At the word Praezia everybody held back their breath.
Anyway emperor? I was quite taken back that there was another emperor then Caitel. So this empire is not the only empire. And what were you saying dear father ?
"Your daughter has broken the Arigent laws so will be executed ."
In the back I heard the short gasps as if someone was taking a dump . I guess they were troubled.
"....on what charge?"
At the lingering question he look back .No actually he turned his body back.
"Lèse-majesté"
Execution Just for making a baby cry? wow, just look at this crazy bastard.
"Majesty ! your Majesty!"
"Put her in confinement for now."
He didn't even spare a glance at the sorrowful cries coming from the back. Ah, seriously pitiful.
The emperor entourage only jobs seem to throw people in jail that offended him or kill them. So is this what a tyrant is like? A dignity of a tyrant ? Steam it and eat it .
Can I grow up safely under a guy like this? As if I been hit by a wave when I was treading water I was swept up in a regret and became seriously lost in thought by myself. I was furrowing my eyebrows when the emperor walked in the largest garden in the royal palace and towards this empire symbol the winter tree.
What is it, Emperor do you want to take me for a walk?
Ah, but the torso she pinched is seriously hurting me .Is this bruised ?
"She grew a lot"
"She is in her growth spurt .She at the age where she will have changes by the day."
That was all he was saying as he lightly carry me.
Hey! I am a three months old new baby so it natural for me to grow at this pace .Can you seriously take a parenting class? Is there a graduation for that like a regular class ?
"I feel I haven't see her for just a week."
Has it really been that long? I tilted my head. It been a while since I saw your face but quite a bit of time has passed. No it hasn't because it actually felt like a month.
I guess Caitel isn't the emperor for nothing . The first month I was thinking that this fucker didn't work and only insisted to everyone that he was a emperor but later that month his visits lessen and it was harder to see him.
I felt a bit , and only a bit sorry for him so I gave him a big smile .
Look at this, My million dollar smile!
"Heavy."
This fucker? You ,That insulting to a lady!
"How mysterious, A small life form that I could just kill with one hand grew bigger."
He doesn't look the type to talk to himself but for some reason only when he with me this crazy guy seems to have a lot to say by himself. I must be mistaken .Yup . Definitely .
It a been uncertain to say he talking to me.....
"Like a bug"
Crazy bastard . for a moment I was so taken back my mouth dropped open.
Wow. This crazy.
What did you say ?
Do I have to live like this while getting insulted ? Do I ?!
.......Ah . Of course I do .I have to live like this. yup, I have to live like this.What can I do?
sob , I'm so hurt . sob .I was so frustrated tears started to come out .
Yet I can't cry .
Ah . I feel even more frustrated .sob sob
You're dead to me.You're not my dad.
To tell his own daughter that she like a bug.
I guess I wasn't the only one hurt by what he said . No actually I was the only one hurt by this , the others were just simply taken back especially Serira's expression .....
"Your Majesty , your expression is a bit ..."
"What ?"
Was your name Perdel? You are quite a upright kid. That right , it that form! Keep walking !
Tank ! Show off your skills! Perdel who received a mouthful of my cheers showed a disturbed expression and said one more word.
"To say She like a bug.She is a princess."
At Perdel words Caitel looked at me for a moment . Then he thought for a bit and had nothing to say
Huh? Do you want to fight with our eyes? Huh?
"She a weak life form that can die by a finger .So how should I describe it?"
.......Does that mean you can kill me off with a finger, dear father ?
I deeply apologize. This lowly daughter of yours is not well learned and somehow has committed a great offense against you saying all that nonsense. before
Please spare my life. Sob.
".......flower?"
"Relearn poetry."
In this way Perdel was completely defeated
To tell someone to relearn poetry, you're the one who should take a child development class!
Hurry and apply for classes! Right now! You really need to learn more about babies.
Yet like always I couldn't talk and my wishes were ignored.
"Are you seriously going to kill her? To kill someone just for making a baby cry is a bit. She is a princess sent over as a peace offering from the emperor of Praezia."
After being picked up and held I had no choice to be held in Caitel arms but for a second our eyes met. The red eyes glowed from the sunlight and the setting sun right in front of my nose. Normally I would just sit there and be like what are you looking at ......
Ah, I know. I am so cowardly .I laughed cheerfully and gave him a bright smile.
Pa Pa, I can't die now.
Looking at my smile he laughed.
Dude , you like it since your daughter smile at you,right?
After laughing he started to pet my hair and turn to face Perdel.
'My daughter sama doesn't cry easily."
Yup, that is correct.
"And"
Huh? Is there more?
I perked my ears up.What are you going to say? I forgot to sallow back my spit and held my face up to Caitel and just stare at his red lips while he held me.At exactly that moment he look down at me.
"I am the only one allowed to make my daughter cry."
........Hey! This perverted bastard !!
The whimpering sound effects s are suppose to be a whimpering of a dog who been defeated.^^
Crossing the river of no return is the same as crossing the Rubicon river .
The heavenly king of the heavens and lone tyrant basically just means a lone tyrant that rules everything
Grunt noises are suppose to be cave man noises .She implying he like a caveman who never seen fire so wouldn't know the concept on how to make fire therefore Caitel doesn't know the concept of mercy so he can't grant any.
She calling Perdel oppa which literally means brother .In Korea you can call any guy older then you who is close enough brother.
Lèse-majesté is is the crime of violating majesty, an offence against the dignity of a reigning sovereign or against a state.It was a serious crime in the past.
The eyefight she talking about is the lighting glare trope .
