The Emperor’s Daughter - Chapter 208

By the way, the party was just around the corner, and he was still at work. He had a dark future too. When I entered the room without delay, I saw that Caitel was buried in the papers.

He looked like he’s in his usual self. It was a bit strange to see my dad just doing paperwork with all his party tailors on. Maybe it’s because of his clothes, or perhaps I just felt a little sad that he was still working late till this day.

“You are here.”

I was standing there without interrupting because I thought that he was too focused. Fortunately, Caitel reached out to me first. I walked straight to my father without hesitation. When I approached him, my dad naturally picked me up. I glanced at the desk, and it seemed like work was almost over.

That’s a relief. I was looking down at the little piece of paper, and suddenly, I could feel his glare from the side. I then turned my head.

“Why are you looking at me like that?”

“Because you look pretty today.”

“Oh, really?”

Really? Caitel laughed as I smiled. What? What was up with my dad?

“Why are you laughing?”

Was it funny that I looked so pretty? Did he want to die?

However, his laughter differed a little from usual. He smiled crackly at me all the time, but now, what he gave me was truly a happy smile. Yeah, damn it, I would let you go this time.

I felt like I lost, but I couldn’t help it. I breathed a quiet sigh. If I would be his daughter, then I should have a big heart, right? However, my dad’s mood was different today. Was this about work? Was it because you had seen too many documents? I didn’t know if I was feeling like it, but he looked a little tired.

Suddenly, Caitel swept my hair.

“Have you been properly congratulated today?”

“Hmm? What do you mean?”

“For your birthday.

It’s weird for the person who threw such a huge celebration for my birthday every year to ask that. However, I was sure that my dad knew how the entire country would always congratulate me every year. Not only from our country but worldwide too. How much more should I be congratulated here?

I wondered, but his I could see from his stark expression that he wasn’t pranking me. I dangled my fingers and laughed for no reason.

“Everyone likes me. Of course, they’ve congratulated me.”

“Of course?”

“Yes, of course.”
