As Daulla was fixing my hair, she suddenly started crying.
I asked her what's wrong. And she said she was worried that I might fire her.
After calming her down I said, "I won't. Although I might change your position and make you my personal maid, who only serves , days and nights"
She chucked and hugged back.
"We have to go now, Daulla. Grandpa is waiting, rember?"
"Yeah. Let's go"
Daulla and I are on our way to grandpa's room.
"I am hungry"
"Wait for the ceremony to end, then you can eat lunch"
"I haven't even eaten breakfast yet"
"No one has"
"Let eat you, Daulla"
"Please stop your sexual harassnts"
"You have to get used to them, after all I will harass you every day from now on"
"Please stop acting so shalessly. You will be a King now, behave like one"
"Just you wait. I will make you do so many lewd things"
"I will kill myself if you humiliate like this"
"Co on. It was a joke. Don't talk about dying on every little thing"
"I don't believe it"
"I would never force you, unless you really want to"
"I can do so things. But there is a limit, we will never go all the way"
"What is the limit?"
"You can..."
"I can what?"
"You can touch wherever you like"
"Only touching?"
She nodded.
"What about licking?"
"Only touching!"
"We will increase the limit as ti passes, right?"
"I am not sure about that"
"Sure about what?"
"My King!"
"Grandpa"
Grandpa was standing on the balcony outside his room"
"My King, what are you doing here?! You should be in your room"
"Shh! I feel good today"
"Please don't lie"
"Shut up, Daulla. I really feel good today" he spun around and said, "See?"
"Is this a dream?" Daulla muttered.
"It's not"
"Okay, I will excuse myself" Daulla bowed down.
"Daulla" I called out to her.
"What?"
I brought my face close to her and whispered "I love you" in her ears.
Her face flushed as she ran away.
"What was that?" Grandpa asked.
"Nothing"
"You two are close as always, huh?"
"Haha"
Less close than before, but more close than we should be.
"Please, take care of her"
"Huh?"
"She is just like my daughter, though I have never been a good father to her"
"That's not true. I am sure she is--"
"I have done so many sins, and one of them is with Daulla"
"What do you an?"
"About ten years ago, the palace was attacked, and Daulla almost died. I tried my best to save her, but it was impossible. All her bones were shattered, and blood loss. Her brain was dead, and her body was cleaved into many parts"
"....."
"Layla had already passed away. She...really loved Daulla like her own daughter." Sigh~ "My selfishness....I wanted to save Daulla. So I had a test experint perford on her. And she sohow survived"
"That..."
"She never opened her eyes for over ten years. I had lost all hope. But six months ago, she woke up"
"I am--"
"Her...she looked so horrible. I couldn't bear to see her. I was sure she would hate for what I did to her. But you know what she said?"
"What?"
"How is Lil Das? Where is he? Did he miss ?"
"...."
"I didn't know how to reply. You...you had forgotten all about her. So I ran away from there. Later An and Lirole talked with her and told her everything. The next ti I saw her, she looked exactly like she did 30 years ago"
"I don't think she hates you for that"
"You don't know"
"And I don't think that was a sin. What's wrong in trying to save your loved one?"
"Don't speak for others!"
"..."
"You don't know how much she has suffered. Hear , Arthur, never decide for others"
"It's Das"
"Stop fussing over nas"
"That's my na"
"Das. What a strange na. I don't want to call you that"
"...."
"I know I have said this many tis, and...this will be my last ti saying this. I have lived all my life scared, because I had powers. What about you? You will have powers soon, do you feel scared?"
"I don't"
"You should. Feel scared, so you can at least experience that feeling"
"I will not act weak"
"I see" He took out sothing from his pocket and said, "Well, you can do whatever you want. It's up to you what you want to do. Just..follow your heart. And never regret doing sothing"
"Hmm"
"Give your hand"
He gave a pendant.
"What is this?"
It was platinum pendant had a shape of a half moon with shiny small jewels on it.
"This is one of our heirlooms. It has always been given to the first wife of the king"
"Oh"
"All your mothers have worn this, your grandmother wore it too, and now...it will go to Lier. Give it to her after your engagent"
"You won't co to the party?"
"I can't. I am feeling good now. But I don't know how long. My body really hurts when I travel"
And those police kept arresting him, knowing well about his condition and paranoia.
"And this..." He moved his hands to his neck and removed his pendant.
"This...?"
"This was worn by the kings. And now, it's yours"
This pendant was similar to the one he just gave , but this one had Edens' crest on it.
"Can you bow down a little?" he asked.
I bowed down.
"Huh? What is this?"
"This..."
It's the pendant I made with Oyuoral.
He touched it and asked, "What material is this?"
"Normal! Just for fashion!"
"I see. Take it off, please"
I took it off.
I can't talk with Lily without speaking.
Only if she can understand what I am thinking.
And I can't wake her up anyways.
There is no way I can say 'I love you, Lily' in front of grandpa.
