The Emperor’s Daughter - Chapter 189
Assisi winced upon hearing my cry. He had a heartfelt look of remorse, but even after seeing his gaunt face, I still didn’t want to forgive him. He would reflect upon his action, but he would do it again next time! It wasn’t the first time Assisi left me, and I was already so used to it now, but I just could not understand it.
Why was he so afraid of children to the point of fleeing upon contacting them? That was not even mentioning how he left me alone!
I was better off sustaining some injury from an assassin’s attack or something. I really couldn’t understand. Maybe that’s why I felt even more fixated by what he had done to me. Needless to say, I would never let him suffer the same vexation I had to endure whenever I saw the twins, never!
“You promised to protect me. You’re a liar!”
“Well, that’s….”
“Are you making excuses? Assisi! How could you after what you had done to me?!”
Assisi, who had been under fire because of me, bowed his head with a perplexed look. Then, he raised his head with his fists clenched as if he had made a big decision.
“Yes, I am a sinner, and I deserve to die. Should I die? How would you like me to carry out my own execution? Perhaps you already have a punishment in mind?”
“…”
I couldn’t possibly think of such a thing.
Assisi then pulled out his sword. His behavior was so unusual that I was seized with fear. Oh, my God. He would really kill himself. He was more than capable of doing so.
I grabbed Assisi’s arm in a hurry. I couldn’t even get mad at this guy!
“No, stop it. You’re human! You’re allowed to make mistakes!”
Yeah, well, maybe I should just ask Assisi to kill me instead? I was sure that the twins wouldn’t really be the reason for my death… right? Oh, I was not sure anymore.
“But I just don’t know what to deal with little children.”
“Why don’t you just do what you normally do?”
What’s so hard about that? However, Assisi’s answer differed a little.
“I see. You have enlightened me, my princess! From now on, I, Assis, do solemnly swear to cut down all children who would dare come to you!”
“Sorry, just run away.”
I felt so tired…
