Daughter of the Emperor

She looked at him with frustration for not knowing that, but he didn’t feel bad. He was just curious and felt strange about this meaningless action. Caitel sneered.

“You picked flowers just to look at them?”

Ria tilted her head after hearing his murmur. Seeing her innocent expression, he wanted to keep annoying her.

“Eh, can’t I?”

Her serious contemplation made him smile. This was how most of his days with his child were.

“Well, I’ll take it.”

‘I don’t hate flowers, but I didn’t like them that much either.’ Caitel always ignored them because he was not interested. Thus, when he walked, he only saw a colorless landscape, but when he received the flower in his hand, some kind of emotion doubled up within him.

Other times, he would have thrown it away without mercy, but now it’s a bit…

I didn’t feel like it.

What should I do with this?

Caitel kept his mouth shut because he had no idea what to do with the flower, but suddenly Ferdel put out his head.

“Princess, what about me?”

“For Ferdel?”

Full of anticipation, Ferdel’s glistened, but somehow, my daughter muttered with a troubled face.

“I don’t have any…”

‘That’s right.’

‘I couldn’t help but feel better.’

“Ek!”

Ferdel was in tears as if he couldn’t take this, but Caitel was convinced.

He couldn’t be treated the same as her father.

If Ferdel knew what he was thinking, he would have countered that he’s her godfather and that he should be treated the same way she did to her father, but unfortunately, Ferdel had no knack for reading other people’s thoughts.

“So mean! The princess is cold!”

Ferdel cried out. Ria looked sorry as she saw him being upset. Not knowing that the emperor’s gaze, sitting beside him, was getting sharp, Ferdel whined.

It was then…

“Oh, would you like to take this instead?”

As if she suddenly had a good idea, Ria brought the pot that stood beside her. It was a plant that Silvia once gave her.

“…”

Ferdel’s face changed dramatically when he saw the Venus Flytrap with its mouth wide open. He waved his hand right away.

“No, I’m fine…”

“You don’t have to say you’re fine!”

When she forced the pot into his arms, Ferdel dropped his head with a gloomy look. When Caitel sneered at it, Ria turned her head.

“Do you want this too, Dad?”

“No.”

Of course, Caitel immediately refused.

Ria turned back with an unsatisfied look at his refusal. What she’s doing didn’t look fun, but she had a big smile on her face anyway.

On the other hand, there were a lot of dark clouds on his other side.

“Princess, that’s too much…”
