Chapter 326: The Emperorâs Daughter Chapter. 326
Oh, I tried so hard not to cry, butâ¦
âElyne⦠youâre like my sister. Even if a new maid takes care of me, I wonât come to like her as much as I like you.â
Elyne smiled at my words.
Eventually, Elyne also teared up before leaving. Sheâs still this young, and I couldnât believe sheâs getting married. Serira comforted us both as I held Elyneâs hand, not wanting to let her go.
âPrincess, itâs time to let her go.â
â⦠alright.â
Elyne bowed to me and left the palace.
It suddenly felt suffocating to see her leaving and watch her from behind.
I wanted to at least walk her out of the palace⦠but I couldnât even do that since I was a princess. I couldnât even walk her out⦠At least, It was fortunate that Serira could do so in my stead. If she also couldnât, I would feel really embarrassed and wouldnât walk around the palace for a while. I looked down for a moment when I was left alone now with Assisi.
Only one person was leaving, yet I still felt so lonely.
It looked like Elyne was more precious to me than I thought.
âPrincess.â
Assisi called me. I guessed I looked quite depressed. Assisi usually just stayed quiet, but he called me with a worried voice. I was fine, though. Yeah, I was fine! As I said before, Elyne would not die!
I stood from my seat firmly.
âLetâs go see Dad!â
At my loud voice, Assisi opened his eyes wide, surprised for a moment, and soon nodded.
Yeah, I should go to daddy. I wanted to see him.
I took Assisiâs hand and walked to the office where my father was. Many people came and went⦠but Caitel was always in his office. Still in the same place.
Of course, thatâs true, but⦠but somehow, I felt thankful for it.
When I arrived at the office and opened the door, I saw that my extraordinary dad was also working today. I saw him every day, but I was so glad to see him today for some reason. I jumped at him.
âDaddy!â
When I visited, dad would stop whatever he was doing to hug me. I knew how rude this was and how much this would bother him⦠but Caitel would accept me just as I was without a word. I knew how gentle he was to me.
My dad gave me a strange look since I was unusually holding onto his arm.
What, why?
