Dranste sits on a chair while laughing maniacally at my shout.
âCome on, itâs been such a long time, yet youâre being so cold.â
âYouâre the one whoâs been away. Just where did you pop out from? What exactly have you been up to?â
âLetâs just say I had a lot of things to take care of.â
So thatâs why he didnât meet me for over a year? No, itâs been over a year. In my discontented gaze, Dranste moved his shoulder. I hadnât seen him in a year, and he had changed little ever since. It seemed like I was the only who felt that time had passed.
âBy the way, did you get cuter?â
âI was cute, to begin with!â
Dranste giggled when he heard my answer.
âWhere does that confidence of yours come from?â
Hey! Did he need me to teach him a lesson? I raised my hand to give him a punch out of anger, and he grabbed it nonchalantly. No matter how hard I shook my hand to get it out of Dransteâs hand, it wonât fall out.
Oh, this was so annoying. When I gave up pulling my hand out, Dranste smilef and left a short kiss on the back of my hand. I was certain that he was the first person who liked the back of my hand that much.
âSo have you finished your work?â
âMost of it, probably?â
âThen what have you been doing?â
âSorting out the past?â
I wasnât really curious, but I asked this because I had nothing else to say. I looked at him with a disinterested gaze, and he just smiled.
âSorting out the past?â
Sorting out the past, huh? What, did he get plastic surgery or something? Was he a part of a gang before? Thatâs all I could think of. Why was he sorting out the past? Thatâs such a weird thing to say.
âWhat, have you been breaking up with women?â
âYes, quite a few.â
He spoke something so arrogantly as if it was a normal thing to say. I frowned at his response.
âYouâre revolting.â
Itâs annoying because he might be telling the truth. Oh, why must he look that good? Itâs so unfair. People would avoid him only when he looked weird which mirrored his personality. Both Caitel and Dranste, they both have excessively beautiful faces even though they both had such sour personalities.
Draneste whined to my complaint.
âMy princess is still as cold to me as ever.â
You made me cold. I was such a generous lady!
âGo away.â
I turned my head since I didnât want to deal with him, but Dranste followed me regardless of what I had said. Why was he following me? If everyone could see him, then I would have kicked him out somehow. However, only I could see him, so he could follow me anywhere I go. Even if I went to the bathroom.
Of course, if he follows me to the bathroom, Iâll kill him.
âPlease love me, Princess.â
âNo way.â
Uh, what a pain.
Though he was kind of cute when heâs chasing after me like a puppy. However, I quickly changed my mind after hearing what he said while he was patting my head.
âHey, why donât we get married after 20 years?â
Haha. Thatâs funny. I answered with sincerity while looking at him sharply with a crumpled face.
âGet out and die.â
