The Emperor’s Daughter - Chapter 121
“How much longer… must I suffer?”
A deep, deep voice asked. I couldn’t tell how deep his pain was based on his voice alone. It’s so incredibly deep that I couldn’t even hear it. It made me want to do whatever he wanted me to do. However, unlike me, who could just bite my nails as I felt my uselessness, Caitel looked cold.
“For as long as you live.”
The emperor who rose from the throne walked to his knight. One step at a time. He walked so slowly that I started to feel impatient.
“But it won’t be forever.”
Standing right in front of Assisi, Caitel lowered his body. Assisi looked up at the emperor who gazed at his teary wet eyes right before him.
“You are me, and I am you.”
Caitel placed his hand on Assisi’s shoulder.
“My knight, you are my mirror.”
Assisi lowered his eyes with a somber look. Usually, it would be a great honor to hear such a thing from the emperor, but he didn’t show such a sign. Caitel grabbed him gently and made him stand.
Assisi, who rose, still shook his head with eyes filled with deep sadness. Caitel sighed.
“I promise. When I leave this world someday, I will kill you before I go.”
