The Emperor’s Daughter - Chapter 253

“Princess.”

“Huh?”

“Do you know what happens when Almond dies?”

“Diamond.”

“…”

Was that a joke?

He didn’t think I didn’t know that, did he? As if that was it, Assisi closed his mouth upon hearing my answer. He looked perplexed.

Oh, this was fun.

I didn’t know why his expression made me feel better. Suddenly, I laughed, and Assisi tilted his head. ‘I was laughing at you, dummy, you.’

“Zayland!”

That’s when I heard a thin voice.

When I looked back casually after hearing a name I had heard a lot about, I saw two people who have been disturbing me a lot these days.

“You can’t run around like that.”

Tylenia… was it?

A child with more red-ish silver hair than mine was happily hugged by his mother. The expression of a mother embracing her child was warm and emotional. The friendly goodwill was so blatant that I could tell at once how much the princess loved her son.

“Mommy!”

I was always seeing mothers and sons together, like Silvia and the twins. However, I guessed I felt different since they were different people.

A child with his mother… what should I say? I was a bit jealous.

Yes. I was jealous.

“Princess?”

Would my mother do that to me if she were alive? Would she hold me and look at me sweetly like that? Thought that had never even crossed my mind suddenly spreads within me.

I never even saw my mother before, so why did I miss her so much?
