The Emperor’s Daughter - Chapter 198

“Princess, something terrible has happened!”

“Huh? What’s wrong?!”

Even Serira was curious. Assisi looked nervous too. This looked terrible.

“His Majesty… His Majesty!”

“His Majesty, what?”

‘Stop stuttering. You’re making me even more nervous.’

“His Majesty found your broken sculpture!”

A massive alarm rang in my head.

Um… Did I hear that correctly? I blinked my eyes, but Elyne was still there. I moved my head and looked at Serira; I then looked at Assisi. Oh, no!

“What!? How?”

“I… I don’t know.”

“I mean, how did he find it?”

“He must have said something to the maids. The emperor always seems angry, so they just ended up telling him everything…”

Were their lives the only ones on the line? What about me? What about my right to live?

My vision started to get hazy. I couldn’t see the light, and I couldn’t think of what words to say. I was so screwed.

I knew that he would find it out someday, but this was too soon.

“Where is he now?”

When I looked at Elyne, she shook her head as if to say, “I don’t know.” I then looked at Assisi.

“He’s probably in a meeting.”

“I’ll be seeing him at dinner then?”

The troubling part was the fact that the sun had already set, and we would be dining soon… the garden after sunset was beautiful, but I couldn’t seem to marvel at its beauty.

Ah, I couldn’t think of anything else to do. I wished that everyone would disappear. I wanted to be alone…

“But it’s not like you’re the one who broke it, Princess…”

Silly Elyne, did she really thought that Caitel would care?
