Daughter of the Emperor Chapter 439

Chapter 439: The Emperor’s Daughter 439

He said it, but I couldn’t get myself to sleep when I laid in bed until morning ca.

I thought about it all night.

Yes, as Havel said, I imdiately realized that I was too much from Assisi’s point of view. That didn’t an that I would let go of what was done. Anyway, without any other thoughts, from a third person’s point of view, I tried to rationalize the situation with a cool head.

Nevertheless, I still needed to know why Assisi did that. That’s my conclusion.

If Assisi did that, there had to be a reason. No, there was a reason, and it wasn’t because Assisi was being considerate of the kids. I wasn’t going to believe that. When I cared for soone, I tried to learn more about them. It would have been easier not to know. I could also make so kind of an excuse about not knowing the reason or demand why he did that to a man.

But I couldn’t ask that.

Assisi was my guardian knight, but he was also a very precious person to .

I did know that it wasn’t possible to learn every detail about a person. I was aware of that, but I couldn’t let things pass. I was the curious kind.

If they think about it, Lady Sicelia said the sa; there was too much that I didn’t know about Assisi.

Although we had been so close and lived together for a long ti, I didn’t know anything about him.

It was a natural desire to learn more about a person you like, to beco close to them emotionally. I wanted to know, even if it ant digging through Assisi’s wounds.

Maybe I was doing sothing evil.

I don’t know if I would do sothing painful to Assisi in the na of learning more about him.

However, I knew that if I went over there without forming a conclusion, I would always question myself. I had no idea why but seeing Assisi’s behavior, I knew a scenario like what happened last ti would occur again.

Then, I’ll go and ask him again why he had to do that.

Assisi would go silent again. Then I would get angry, and the sa situation as last night would happen again.

No, I won’t do that.

I shook my head. I couldn’t let that happen.

“Assisi, are you really not going to tell why?”

Before leaving for Bureti, I went to Assisi’s room. To finish yesterday’s story and to bring closure to my thoughts.

Assisi was silent as ever.

Watching him say nothing, I held my desire to cry my guts out.

“Are you going to live without talking to forever?”

My voice had resentnt in it, but Assisi bowed his head and stayed silent. I was tired. It was like talking to a wall.

I already knew from the experience that there’s nothing I could do to make him speak. In other people’s eyes, I would appear like soone who was ssing with a good friend.

Right, right.

“Fine. Assisi can do whatever he wants to!”

That was when Assisi raised his head.

It was the best plan I ca up with in my pretty head last night.

“From this mont on Assisi, I am relieving you of your duty as my escort knight.”

Assisi was clearly shocked.

I felt guilty, but I spoke steadily.

“I don’t need a guardian knight who can’t trust .”
