Chapter 16.2

I willingly blocked Alex from falling to the floor. It was only for a moment that she was startled, but Empress Lotte soon recognized me and scolded me severely.

“Get out of my way. The problems of the Imperial Palace are no place for a young lady to meddle.”

“But, Your Highness.”

“How dare you! Did your mother teach you no manners for you to act so disrespectfully in front of the Empress?”

This woman, she’s really pissing me off. I felt my blood boiling when she cursed at my mom like that.

Now it’s really a tough situation. Ignoring what the Empress said, I didn’t back down a step in front of Alex and stood up firmly.

“Violence is bad. Dad said it’s a bad thing to hit people.”

“Get out of the way!”

“No, I won’t. I won’t move.”

Things got bigger when I stepped up. Alex got up, pulled my arm, and hid me behind him.

“I was giving Lady Ciel a tour of the Palace. Let’s just send her back to her father and then we’ll talk.”

“How dare you order me now!”

Her hand flew in the air again. I didn’t want to see Alex hit, so I shook off Alex’s arm and jumped in front of the woman.

Slap.

The Princess’s hand twisted and slapped me on the cheek this time. How hard did you want to hit me for my small body to fly away and fall to the floor?

Ugh, it hurts. Surprised, Alex ran to me. The Princess panicked after hitting me, not knowing what to do.

“This, this is!”

Oh, my. It hurts like hell. Do you really think you can screw with me?

“Ciel, are you okay?”

“Huh…”

“Yes, you’re bad. This is what happened because you ran in front of me.”

Are you calling that an excuse? Anyway, the people who can’t admit that they’ve done something wrong, both men and women, are terrible.

Now that this is the case, we must summon Superman. I shouted as hard as I could, pinching my thighs.

“Daddy…Daddy!!!”

PR/N: lmao I love how she calls her dad superman and starts screaming xD

QC/N: Same lmao so cute

When I burst into tears with a tremendous cry, the two watching me were embarrassed.

This was not a tear from sadness like before, but a cry full of anger and resentment.

The loud cries of a child caused a commotion outside in the hall. And less than a minute later, the door to the music room suddenly opened.

“Ciel!”

I knew this would happen. My father is a great wizard. I don’t usually have to show it, but I remember it clearly.

Using common sense, there’s no way a person of that level wouldn’t have put a safety device on the body of his beloved only daughter.

If I get slapped on the cheek and fall down and cry, I’m sure my father will solve it somehow. Honestly, if this is not the time to do this, when should I? Believing in my omnipotent father, I decided to act out as much as I could [2] .

“Daddy! Daddy!”

“Our Ciel, you’re surprised. Dad’s here. You’re fine now.”

TL/N: superman is here .

“The children were arguing, so I came to stop him, and he was very angry with the lady.”

She’s a genius at acting. It seems real just by looking at her face, but who is my dad?

Dad looked at my cheek one more time and looked at Alex’s cheek, who had his head bowed down.

“Your Highness, how is your cheek so swollen? Is that my daughter’s doing?”

Alex’s cheeks are as swollen as mine. There were only three people in the room, so as result, it had to be either me or the Princess, but my hands are not that big or I can’t hit him that hard in the first place. As my father narrowed the investigation, the Empress became increasingly cornered.

“It’s…”

“Our Ciel couldn’t have done such a thing!”

At the very most important timing, a tactless older sister stepped in. Thank you so much for trusting me sister, but not now.

[2] What was used here is like saying that she’s gonna cause as much trouble as she wants

[3] It means that she didn’t care. Like “lying without batting an eye”
