Chapter 433: The Emperor’s Daughter 433

It was fun to see the artworks, but the most interesting ones were the buildings . I go to see many strange buildings; perhaps more structures would rise in a few years .

We needed to build such things in Agrigient!

Of course, the first thing we had to do was visit the pagoda . After taking the city tour and breaking away with the party, I came to the tower alone . Since it was a well-known place, there was a high possibility that my identity would be revealed, so I didn’t bring my companions with me .

There was nothing special about entering a tower with guards after Ahin spoke to them . Looking at the inside of the building, I wondered if the interior was unexpectedly ahead of Agrigient .

When I arrived, I was waiting near the window until Ahin came . It was the first time I had ever seen such a tall building . Of course, there were too many such structures here; this place wasn’t the only one, but it was the highest building in the city and offered a broad view .

“Woah, this is great!”

The view of Bruges was so beautiful . There were small towers all over the city as if they were stars .

These were the views that everyone would like to see at least once in their lives .

Ferdel had told me that he would come to such a place hand in hand with Silvia .

“May I ask what you are seeing?”

Ouch . I almost tripped upon hearing the voice . Ahin grabbed my waist to prevent me from falling, but it was more difficult for me to fall into his arms .

“Ah, thanks . ”

“Be careful . ”

My cheeks were red for no reason . The other person was just another child, but my heart wouldn’t stop beating loudly . I bit my lip to hold onto my excitement . However, Ahin seemed puzzled .

‘Ah, why is my body acting like this?’

I coughed and sat down . I felt terrible for showing that side of me, but I was convinced that he didn’t notice .

As I sat down, Ahin, too, sat on the sofa . The fluffy sofa was comfortable to sit on . It was really fluffy . Seeing how I touched the couch, Ahin smiled .

“I see that you can’t take your eyes off it . ”

“Yeah?”

Did I look stupid?

I had nothing to say apart from a smile .

Why did I feel like a kid in front of this person? Maybe Ahin knew so much that made me feel intimidated by him .

Wait, this was similar to when I was younger .

“Was the view nice?”

“Yes, the city is beautiful . ”

I grinned . I had been around for a couple of days, but this city was just the best; it didn’t fail my expectations .

It was good to see the facilities in the city that were beyond my imagination . I knew that the water and sewage system and infrastructures were sound, but the sanitation and security were the best . Above all, the fact that the city buildings looked like art was the best thing about Bruges .

“Of all, I think that the tower is a work of art which would remain in history . ”

Ahin smiled as I said that . He smiled a lot, but as I watched him, I realized that he was the kind who would share his smile with others .

I hated myself for thinking that .

“May I ask why you’re frowning?”

‘It’s because of you, you man!’

However, as a reasonable person, I didn’t say that out loud . I glanced around again .

In Ancief, the walls were mostly made of wood, so I assumed that the rain would rot them down, but Bruges’ buildings were of stone, which gave me a different concern .

How much would the decorations have cost?

Looking at the murals and the statues on the exterior building, I couldn’t stop wondering . Agrigient’s structural style was stone, so I wanted to take one craftsman from here and build a pretty building in my country . Of course, the interior design done by our artisans was the best .

Still, the exterior design seemed different, so wouldn’t it be better to take an experienced one from here? Thinking so, I opened my mouth .

“I was just thinking, how much would it cost to build?”

“Well, I heard it was a lot . ”

“Really? How about the building decorations?”

“When it comes to labor costs, I didn’t hear much . ”

Indeed, this was a thorough job .

I felt terrible even though I knew how much it would cost . After all, this was the kind of art that was difficult to earn . Even in Bruges, where culture and art bloom, such structures were a treat .

With my chin on my hand, I was in deep thoughts when Ahin laughed . Seeing Ahin laughing was a rare thing, which made me feel doubtful if I heard it . What was the reason?

“Why are you laughing?”

“Because you are cute . ”

“I am?”

I was the one shocked at the answer he gave . What did he just say to me? Cute?

“Where are you going?”

“I don’t know . ”

“…”

Eeh, he just said I was cute, though .

I had nothing to say about it, so I looked blank as I got up . Seeing that, Ahin anxiously spoke .

“Your hair brings in a lot of attention . ”

“That is why I wear a robe . ”

“Even your appearance is noticeable . ”

“…”

What could it have meant? Did I stand out from the crowd?

Before blaming me and my appearance, I wanted him to look at himself, but I didn’t want to crush his spirit, so I let him speak .

“Even after walking around like this, no one seems to have noticed you . ”

“I know . ”

It was a little strange for me too .

Some of us wore tight robes, and more than anything, Assisi and Valer were the noticeable ones, so maybe I wasn’t given too much attention .

Honestly, I had the most famed appearance on the continent . Anyone with little feet and red eyes would be recognized as the royalty of Agrigient . I even wanted to dye my hair, but it was cumbersome, and above all, the dye I placed didn’t even work on my hair! I could have brought a striking shade, but I didn’t have the time to get it, so I just tried to cover myself with a robe .

Once I returned, I would get a dye .

I didn’t know when it would be, but I would dye my hair for the next time I travel . I nodded as I thought to myself, but the gaze which was on me was stinging .

I looked up .

“…?”

As I tilted my head, Ahin smiled .

It was an empty smile .

An eerie feeling .

Sometimes, even people who seemed stiff could make me feel like that . I couldn’t explain it, but I would feel weird around certain people . At that time, the image of how I tried to be an ideal princess would overlap with my current position .

Was it tough for Ahin too?

Even a perfect person could get tired, right?

In that sense, I was fortunate that Ahin seemed comfortable being around me . I didn’t know if it was good or bad . Strangely, I couldn’t help but lose focus when seeing him .

“Ah right, I have news from the capital . ”

What news? Since I seemed nervous, Ahin looked down, as if it was bad news .

“It looks like Emperor Caitel is enraged . It was said that he led his army and entered Ancief . Tens of thousands of troops are stationed on the border, and the Emperor’s party has arrived in the capital of Ancief, Lorlen . I heard that even Langres is under the same situation . ”

What!?

Suddenly I felt thirsty and drank water . I almost died . Woah, that was crazy! Surely, my dad wouldn’t, no, what the hell was he doing?

I felt like I did a great job running away from Ancief . I knew that he wouldn’t stay still, but his reaction was a lot more over-the-top than I thought .

Wait, so that meant that the royal family of Ancief knew I ran away? What an international embarrassment!

What was more urgent than that was that I had to get Sherto fast .

“I need to head to Bureti tomorrow . ”

At this speed, it wouldn’t be a shock if dad came over here .

There were a lot of things I had to see, and I couldn’t get caught! I was feeling sorry for my dad, but I wanted to see it .

As I nodded, Ahin asked .

“But may I ask why you intend to go to Bureti?”

“My mother was from Bureti . ”

“Ah . ”

I just shrugged because that one exclamation told me what he thought .

However, I smiled to hide the bitterness I was feeling . Ahin, who saw me smile without speaking, asked .

“Do you know this?”

“Huh? What?”

“The color of Bureti royalty’s eyes change when they touch a Sherto royalty?”

“Huh? Is that for real?”

I didn’t know that; suddenly, Ahin got up as I was trying to think . What? What was happening? I titled my head, but Ahin came closer and stood right in front of me .

Uh, huh?

I didn’t know what he was trying to do, so I just stared at him; before I could react, Ahin’s soft lips touched my forehead .

I stiffened under him .

What was it? Ahin was the one who did it, but why was I feeling embarrassed? Uh! Why?! I was too shocked to utter anything, and all I could think about was for the embarrassment to end!

What the hell was all this?

“It really does change . ”

As he moved back, Ahin smiled .

I wondered if my eyes changed or not . I just bowed, covering my face to hide the blush that crept onto my face .

No, what was all this!? Why! Please explain what I was going through!

I wasn’t sure what I was feeling, but I wanted to die . I tried to hide my reddened face at all costs and held back my tears .

I hated Ahin for smiling, not knowing what I felt .

Was he okay with what he did!?
