Crazy
[Am I crazy?]
Because of Griffiths soft wink, Lelia felt absurd.
[I dont know if hes suddenly gone crazy or if hes been hiding his kindness]
When she thought of Griffith, who comforted her and treated her grandmother when she was living in the Superion Territory, her stomach felt funny.
She didnt even know what the real Griffith looked like.
[Now that I see him, all the images he showed of himself at that ti were all selfish.]
No, she didnt even know that for certain, and that made her shiver.
This is what it feels like when your chin drops.
Lelia gave up thinking about it anymore. She sighed and turned her head away.
It was then.
Knock, knock, knock.
The maid ca in and said with a difficult look.
Well, Princess
Whats going on?
Thats I Princess Julianna ca to see you.
As soon as Lelia heard the na, she felt like sothing heavy weighed on her chest.
Currently, Lelias irritation level has reached its limit. Now, she has to et Julianna in this situation?
Lelia shook her head.
I dont want to et her right now. Tell her to co back later.
However, as soon as she told the maid that, the door burst open.
Julianna, who looked angry, walked toward her in a huff.
I cant believe you ca into the room without permission.
It was ridiculous that a princess of a country would do sothing like Kalix.
She also realized how much she was ignoring Julianna.
Lelia imdiately faced her with a calm look.
How could this happen?
Julianna shouted at her out of nowhere. Clenching both her fists, she was about to rush in right away.
I dont know what youre talking about
What do you an you dont know? You did everything intentionally! You beast-like girl!
What?
How can you steal your sisters fianc? Thats sothing that even beasts dont do!
.
At that ti, all of my friends stirred and tried to approach Julianna. Lelia reached out and blocked them.
I wanted you to I was going to accept you as a real sister! I was going to share everything with you and take good care of you because I felt sorry for you!
Sigh
Lelia closed her eyes and touched her forehead.
She didnt know where to start pointing out the problems with what shed said.
The most absurd thing was that Julianna tried to accept her as a real sister.
Lelia had no intention of becoming family with her.
And what? She took away her sisters fianc?
If Juliannas fianc is Ruth, then she thinks Lelia was trying to take Ruth?
Julianna Auraria, you seem to be completely misunderstanding sothing
Perhaps Lelias attitude was considered very shaless, a spark erupted in Juliannas eyes at that mont.
Then she suddenly reached out.
But Lelia was a little faster.
And quickly grabbed her wrists.
Juliannas eyes were red.
How can a Princess be so clueless?
Lelia let go, while slightly pushing Juliannas struggling arm away.
Julianna lost her balance, and fell on the floor.
You dare push ?
Julianna!
At the sudden voices calling out, Lelia turned her head.
When she turned around, she could see Cedric and Damien whod opened the door and entered.
The two looked alternately at Lelia and Julianna, and soon ran to Julianna.
Co here! What should I do now? My dad My dad Ruth and that child!
Calm down, Julianna. Huh?
Everything will be fine. So dont cry, its okay.
Lelia looked at the two princes comforting Julianna with empty eyes.
[Why should I be looking at this right now?]
She felt like she had beco the one and only evil woman in the world.
Julianna was looking at her with resentful eyes, and Cedric and Damien strangely comforted Julianna while looking at Lelia.
Damien, you take her out.
I got it.
Damien kept glancing at Lelias face, and soon took Julianna out.
I want to talk to you for a second.
.
Lelia looked at Cedric and turned to her friends.
Please give a second.
Will you be okay?
When Roo anxiously asked her, Lelia forced herself to smile and nod.
***
After her friends left, Cedric glanced at Lelia while drinking the tea brought by the maid.
The gaze persistently stayed on Lelias face.
It was strange to see a face that looked just like the portrait of his mother.
Lelia asked in an emotionless voice.
What is it that you wanted to say?
.
Cedric was having trouble speaking.
It was easy to believe that the woman in front of him was his biological sister, because she looked exactly like his mother.
But this woman was Sir Raymond last ti hed seen her.
It was hard to believe that fact.
No, he didnt want to believe it.
Because he clearly rembered how he treated Sir Raymond.
Perhaps thats why he was having trouble speaking. He wanted to say Im sorry
I didnt know you were my sister.
.
You You dressed up as a man and ca to the Imperial castle No, the fact that youre alive in the first place
What do you want to say?
.
I dont want to talk to you for a long ti.
Im sorry, Im sorry I think I want to
Cedric rambled.
Lelia stared at him with a very tired look and said.
You dont have to be sorry. If you had known it was wrong, you wouldnt have acted like that in the first place.
What?
Honestly, she didnt even want to hear an apology. It was all very annoying.
Lelia was resentful towards herself a while ago when she said she would go to the Imperial city.
She expected it to be hard, but she didnt think it would be this annoying.
Well never see each other again anyway.
What does that an? Arent you going to live in the Imperial castle for the rest of your life?
? No way. Im going to leave for Superion territory soon.
Why?
Because thats my ho.
No way, His Majesty is your biological father and Im your biological brother Why is that your ho? Of course, grandfather is there Still, were your real family!
Lelia jumped up from her seat without listening to Cedric.
Cedric looked at her in surprise.
You seem to be completely mistaken Im not your family, Prince Cedric.
What?
You think were all family just because we have the sa blood? Im not an idiot.
.
If it were you, would you consider soone who punched you in the face as your family?
Thats!
Get out.
.
You dont have to do anything for now. Just like before, you can continue to live as if Im not here.
Cedric frowned as if he was having a hard ti believing the words coming from Lelias mouth.
Lelia tried to tell him to get out, but he said, Oh, and left on his own.
At this ti, it seed like it would be best if she paid a visit to the emperor and spoke clearly about her intentions.
In addition, there were other problems to solve.
[What? Who will be marrying who?]
She didnt have the option to decide on her own path.
Lelia walked over and closed the open door. Cedric only looked at the closed door with a foolish look.
***
Your Majesty Princess Lelia is at the door now
The embarrassed servant could not even finish talking to the emperor.
Suddenly, the door opened.
Among the embarrassed servants and knights, Lelia strode inside.
She looked at the emperor, who was looking over paperwork, as the attendant trembled in front of him.
The emperor sent out the restless servant.
He recomnded to Lelia, who ca in without permission, to sit without pointing out how rude she was being.
She did it out of anger, but it was funny because it looked like it wasnt a big deal.
Well, Julianna, Cedric and Damien also opened doors without permission, but when she does it then its terrible?
Lelia said without taking a seat.
Im going to leave for the Superion estate tomorrow.
What? No!
Imdiately, a loud voice poured out.
The emperor looked at her angrily.
Do you want to marry Sir Ruth?
What does that an?
Princess Julianna ca to and made a fuss. How can you take away my fianc like a beast?
.
The emperors brow furrowed.
It was a misunderstanding. He obviously called the Count and asked about a marriage.
[Editor: Then its not really a misunderstanding, is it?]
At the sa ti, Count Castril ca in with a list. There seed to be a strange rumor.
Your Majesty, do you think you have the right to decide who I marry?
After a mont of confusion, Emperor Perseus answered with a calm expression.
Im your biological father, of course I do.
Lelias forehead wrinkled at his brazen answer. As she continued to stay in the Imperial Castle, her stomach pains seed to be getting worse.
[How can you all shalessly force your ideas onto ?]
At that ti, the emperor squinted and asked.
Are you planning on marrying one of them, one of your friends?
I beg your pardon?
Youre the princess of Auraria! Theres no way!
.
How did you get to know the royal families of other countries? How?!
Lelias eyes widened.
Hahaha
A sudden laugh broke out right away.
Dont you know yet?
What?
Lelia blinked slowly and said.
I cant believe you still dont know that I went to the neutral zone instead of Prince Leo
.
The words stiffened Perseus face for a mont.
The shock seed to stop him from thinking.
Where, where did you go? When?
Long ago, he knew that the temple had gathered young mbers of the royal families to the neutral zone on the pretext of a war.
But Lelia went there instead of Prince Leo?
It was a fact that only a few knew in the first place, and it was the truth that was buried because almost all of the parties involved died before they could ever tell.
Why? How? Why did you go there? Why, why did you go?
Emperor Perseus asked as if he did not understand. His eyes trembled.
Lelia answered in a calm, low-pitched voice.
Because the forr emperor Lydios said he would give sothing to eat.
What?
For , who barely lived by eating soil he gave sothing to eat. I fell on my face and cried because I was thankful that I would never go hungry in the future.
