Nevertheless, it piqued my curiosity more. After all, Caitel was talking about it like it was not a big deal! Well, I was only a seven-year-old kid. Why was this topic even up for discussion already anyway? Were royalties a kind of species that were already living on their own at the age of seven? Seriously!? Was that what they were trying to say?
Even while working full-time in my past life, I had never lived alone. Now, I have to do it while I was still seven years old⌠One really never knew what would happen in their life.
âDo I have to live by myself now?â
Why was my dad insistent on keeping it to himself instead of telling it about me too?
When I looked up at him with a cute and pretty face, my father looked down upon me with pity. Judging by the way he looked at me⌠It seemed that that was a fair assumption. Why must my father pity me so? Actually, I felt the same for myself. What a bloody struggle it was to be loved! Oh, let me wipe my tears for a moment.
âItâs normal for royalty to have their own palace and live independently away from the imperial palace once they were born. However, it wasnât necessarily something we had to worry about.â
I thought he wouldnât explain it to me, but my dad was a bit of a nice guy, which was a high contrast from how I would usually view him as.
By the way, what exactly did he meant with those words? Itâs common to have a separate palace and separate themselves away from the imperial palace? It looked like being independent wasnât as bad as I thought it was. Still, what? Having a palace for myself was a standard custom in this place? I had never heard of such a thingâŚ
âWhy is it normal? If it is, then why am I living with you here?â
âBecause I want it that way.â
⌠Was he certain that that was his only reason?
Caitel smiled if he wasnât aware that my smile was slowly turning into something cold.
âIs that a good thing?â
âItâs good because itâs a sign that I favor you.â
Itâs not good then.
Why was it a good thing to be the favorite of a man like him?
Well, it wasnât like I couldnât see that I was getting special treatment. Besides, I had no mother eitherâŚand I was a princess who depended on everything Caitel told me. However, that didnât mean I needed it! To be the favorite of a man like him was not a fact that I relish!
âI, Iâm going to sleep.â
Yeah, I just⌠just needed to go sleep for now. Oh, what a dirty world!
