Chapter 486: The Emperor’s Daughter 486

No way… did I get drunk and ended up having weird dreams?

I didn’t think I would have been asleep, but man, was I shocked.

I frowned, but Havel kept stroking my cheek with the back of his hand and groaned in a low voice.

“If that stupid sixth prince didn’t fail…”

“…!!”

What did he just say?

My mind tumbled. At the same time, I couldn’t think of anything.

“You, you…”

He knew the sixth prince?!

Besides what he just said, It also seemed like he had something to do with the sixth prince.

I was flustered while Havel grabbed my shoulders.

“That doesn’t mean that I’m giving up on you. Since the one who handed you over to Siorn is still eating and living well in Agrigient, your country.”

As I watched Havel step away from me, I hurriedly tried to respond.

There was a traitor in Agrigient. What did that mean? It was shocking since it was my first time hearing about this.

“Who is it?”

Havel took a step back and stared at me.

“If I told you, will you become my woman?”

“What nonsense is that, you crazy bastard?”

What was he even saying?

I began to swear since I was too shocked; I didn’t even have time to calm myself. Nevertheless, Havel didn’t seem shocked that a princess was swearing right in front of him.

Well, he was no ordinary man.

Regardless of my glare, Havel’s lips twisted into a smile.

“If you won’t, I won’t say anything either.”

Wah, this again.

I had nothing to say. I was speechless. What was up with him?

“Someday, I will make you my Empress.”

“Does my opinion even matter?!”

“There is no need for that. I do it if I want to.”

“…”

Ah, crazy.

I was a princess, yet I could do nothing about the anger I was feeling inside. What did I have to do? I tried to put up with him, but man, it was tough.

I put my hand on my waist.

“If you marry me, do it in the right way, you idiot! And what did you say? You would take me away from my dad? Who would marry you if you do such things? Ah, and my dad and I are like a one plus one bundle! You hate my dad and like me? You speak like a fraudster! Are you too scared to take such a risk for me? Want me as your Empress? I don’t think you’re in the right mind to speak!”

I never said that I couldn’t speak. Just because someone stayed silent doesn’t mean that they can’t speak out.

“Be quiet! I will never marry you. Okay?!”

Havel laughed at my outburst.

“You will regret it later.”

“Never. You are a hundred years early to win over my dad!”

“We will see about that too.”

One look and I knew.

Havel laughed at how I spoke.

Actually laughed, man.

When I stared at him with anger in my eyes, Havel took a step closer to me. His gaze turned severe; I flinched without knowing.

Ugh, no.

I was terrified.

It was like someone I could never win over in front of me. I was trembling!

The force this man gave out, the immense pressure, was something no one could endure.

What was…

I couldn’t put it into words. I wasn’t sure there was a word to describe that, but I felt scared. Why?

In the end, he said nothing, and I didn’t step back. I was trying my best to endure the pressure Havel was giving out.

Ah, mountains are mountains, and waters are waters.

Having looked down after a long tie of silence, Havel had a faint smile.

What?

“Cute.”

… uh?

What was he doing?

I was flustered; before I could even react, Havel’s lips touched my forehead.

Uh, huh?

“Yah!”

I was so shocked that I went stiff.

Once I realized that, I yelled, but Havel was already walking out of the garden.

Such a fast man. He was already running away!

As soon as I thought I was being played, anger rose again. Were such guys even real?!

Ah, mad!

I was the daughter of an Emperor, one more time, and I would catch him by the neck.

Just try and touch me.

I touched where he kissed, but when he left the garden, I met the eyes of an unexpected person.

No, why was Ahin…

I couldn’t pretend like I didn’t see him.

Man.

Valer was standing right beside Ahin as he sighed.

Ugh, it was ruined again. Why were they over there!?

When I looked at him, Valer shrugged and moved away. No, I didn’t think that a conversation was necessary.

“Ah…”

“…”

His eyes showed his shock. I couldn’t even open my lips.

I didn’t know what to say. Should I just die? Could I die?

“Did—did you see that?”

“Yes.”

.. I felt like I was choking.

The awkward air made it tough to breathe. Breathing heavily, I asked again.

“How much?”

Ahin titled his head upon my question and smiled as if he was about to tease me.

“From.. what nonsense, you crazy bastard…?”

Listening to Ahin recite the exact same words I said made my soul leave my body.

He heard it.

Ughhhh.

“That… that… I am not such a woman normally.”

Really, I really wasn’t like that. I was noble and kind, but I could feel that I already lost my power to convince him.

I wanted to rip my head off.

Ah… ah.

I wanted to hide.

“It’s fine. I felt nice to see that.”

What?

What did I just hear?

I was shocked at what Ahin said with a smile. Wow, his alluring smile.

“Do you remember when we first met?”

“Yeah? No.”

What else should I say?

I was wondering when Ahin laughed.

Huh? What?

I really couldn’t understand why he was laughing. What was it? What happened when we met?

“Bothered?”

“Huh? Yes…”

“Really? It isn’t something bad.”

What was he talking about?

If the man were not Ahin, I would have held him by the neck and made him spill it out. Ugh, he should have just said it already.

Would he really say nothing? He laughed again, seeing me get all tensed up. Just when I expected him to say it.

“Then, pay more attention.”

Huh?!

… what? That was it?

The end? Really?

That was the only thing Ahin said.

No. Hold on?!

I really wanted to ask him, but I already missed the timing… maybe it was my bad day?

“Done?”

The more Ahin left, Valer, who was waiting on the other side, asked. On such a sunny day, in a beautiful flower garden, I felt my mind enter chaos.

Ah, damn it!

“Valer, do you know what he meant?”

I squeezed my hair pretty weirdly, and it was all a mess, but I didn’t care. I hope someone could give me the answer to it!! However, there was no way another person would know.

Rubbing messy hair, he spoke.

“it is more interesting for you, especially when you don’t know something.”

“What?”

He was making fun of me.

As I frowned, Valer tapped his index finger on my forehead.

Ah, it hurt.

What did I do when I first met Ahin? I couldn’t remember. It happened such a long time ago that I doubted that I could even bring it to the surface.

Ugh. What?

“What did I do when I first met Ahin? Valer, do you know?”

“You don’t remember? You said something to us and then caught up with my brother.”

Ah right.

How could I forget that? One of the best three situations in my childhood. It was mostly a memory I wanted to forget.

His weird acts then, it was…

I must have said something resembling my dad. Right, I mean, who wouldn’t know that he was my father?

Valer, who was watching me act stupid, chuckled while rubbing my hair again.

Was he looking for some kind of physical conflict with me?

When I glared, Valer patted my shoulder as if trying to comfort me.

Pat pat.

“It’s fine. Brother did say that you were charming that way.”

“Huh?”

What?

Valer sighed at my stiff face.

“I don’t know why he fell for such a woman.”

“… I’ll kill you, Valer!”

I said so, but my insides were a mess.

No, really, man. I couldn’t say anything else. I was going to end up crazy.

While I was rolling in the pit of despair, Valer smiled as if he was enjoying himself.

Ah, so wrong!!

“I guess being popular has its perks, princess.”

I calmed down. If Valer did that again, I would make him suffer, but I was glad that he calmed me.

Phew.

I took a refreshing breath after long.

Valer laughed, thinking about something.

I briefly warned him.

“Shut up before I hit you.”
