Chapter 73

Seems I wasn’t the one one shocked by her response.

“You.”

The Crown Prince, holding a e-book on his aspect, rushed towards us.

“Are you simply going to depart?”

“Sure.”

“You got here into my backyard and had been so loud, although?”

I used to be critically going to say ‘So what?’ to him, however I intentionally held myself again.

He checked out me with a mocking gaze that was fairly disagreeable.

“Do I’ve to apologize once more?”

“In fact! As a result of I’m nonetheless mad at you!”

A skinny vein appeared on Rere’s brow.

“Who’re you to say that to my mother!”

I already knew who that little one was, so I attempted to keep away from dialog as a lot as potential. However Rere clearly had a special concept.

Rere was a baby who couldn’t stand injustice.

“Ha…? Did you simply converse informally to me?”

“Who the hell are you?!”

“Me? I’m the Crown Prince of this nation!”

“So what would you like me to do?!”

…Huh? This appeared off.

Rere didn’t budge in any respect even when he revealed his identification.

“What? Aren’t you petrified of me?”

“Yeah! I wasn’t petrified of His Majesty the Emperor. So why ought to I be petrified of you?”

“Ha….?”

The Crown Prince regarded tense because of the flip of occasions.

“You’re the one who began speaking informally to me.”

“Ah, is that so? Seems the Crown Prince shouldn’t be that nice. Looks as if nobody ever tells you ways they really feel. How pitiful.”

Rere was being her regular self, however was she allowed to say this?

I regarded alternately between the 2 youngsters for a second. It was lucky that Rere was detached to the Crown Prince, however this frightened me someway.

I used to be frightened that the Crown Prince could be livid and resolve to hurt Rere.

“…You.”

However the temper was fairly unusual.

I anticipated him to be livid, however he checked out Rere with an unreadable expression.

I stood near Rere in case something occurred.

“Yeah?”

“What’s your identify?”

“Me? Little Bunny!”

“…What?”

“I don’t need to inform my identify to somebody who treats my mother badly! Mother, let’s go!”

Rere grabbed my hand earlier than turning round. I assumed the kid would have so much to say, however she dragged me with out hesitation.

“A-Are you going to depart already?”

As quickly as we obtained out of there, the maid approached us as if she had been ready.

“We’re going again now.”

“How about wanting round extra?”

The maid regarded over my shoulders anxiously. Maybe the Crown Prince was us proper now. At instances like this, I’ve to be extra assertive.

“Yeah. Is there any cause for us to remain right here any longer?”

“Not likely….”

“Then we will return.”

Because the maid hesitated, I handed by her confidently. A deep sigh got here from the again.

“I…”

“We’ll return it doesn’t matter what you say. Don’t hinder us.”

“No, it’s not like that….”

“The trail is this fashion, proper?”

“Ah.”

…I knew it. That’s why Rere saved tilting her head subsequent to me.

Why wouldn’t you inform me sooner if we’re going the incorrect manner?

So I let loose an embarrassed cough and rapidly circled.

“I see. The trail right here is sort of tough. I’m positive I’m not the one one who went the incorrect manner like this.”

“…Mother. Mendacity is a nasty factor.”

“…Rere.”

“Simply be trustworthy. Why can’t you simply say that you just obtained misplaced?”

As if attempting to loosen up my tense face, Rere grinned and held my hand tightly.

“Rere, are you an trustworthy little one?”

“In fact! I’m so trustworthy!”

“Actually?”

In the meantime, the maid walked in entrance of us together with her shoulders drooping.

We walked for fairly a while.

“By the way in which, Rere.”

“Sure!”

“About that little one, no, the Crown Prince, don’t you’ve got any impression of him?”

Whether or not your coronary heart was pounding, otherwise you felt one thing new while you first noticed him.

“By no means! If anybody ever treats Huge Bunny badly, I’ll hate them wholeheartedly, even when it was Luca!”

“Actually?”

“Sure! Rere is an trustworthy individual!”

It was completely different.

At that second, a smile unfold throughout my face.

Maybe I might change the longer term now that probably the most problematic half had been resolved.

“Why? Do you just like the Crown Prince? If Mother desires it, I’ll attempt to like him slightly!”

“No! I don’t need that!”

“Thank goodness. Really, I hated him.”

“You imply the Crown Prince?”

“Yeah!”

I’m positive Rere was supposed to love him from the beginning.

“Why didn’t you want him?”

“Umm…He’s good-looking! However I didn’t like what he mentioned.”

“Did you?”

“Sure! I don’t know if it was a very long time in the past, however…I’ve zero curiosity in him proper now. By the way in which, Mother.”

“Hmm, yeah?”

Rere smiled brightly, swinging our palms backwards and forwards.

“I believe it’s true that our style modifications as we grow old.”

“R-Rere, are you getting older?”

“Sure! I’m 5 years outdated!”

I nodded with a smile when Rere stretched out her cute little fingers.

“You’re proper.”

“The Crown Prince was my sort once I was 4. Now I like people who find themselves much like my mother. I’m positive my style has modified!”

My face obtained brighter as a result of there gave the impression to be a approach to keep away from Rere’s tragic future on this bloody novel.

“That’s a aid.”

“Mother’s style may change, too.”

“Huh? My style?”

“Sure! Mother hates my daddy, proper?”

I scratched my head awkwardly at her sharp comment.

“It’s not that I hate him….”

“Nevertheless it’s true that Mother hates Daddy. However who is aware of if Mother will come to love my daddy sometime.”

“How lengthy do you assume it’ll take for Mother to love your daddy?”

“Uh…effectively…”

She stopped for a second at my phrases and folded her fingers one after the other.

“Uh..fifteen years!”

“F-Fifteen years?”

“Yeah! So Mother can’t run away from me even when Mother doesn’t like my daddy, okay?”

“Okay. I’ll stick with Rere even when I don’t like your daddy.”

“Yeah!”

By the point we reached the door the place we met the Emperor earlier, I noticed the Duke and the Emperor had come exterior.

“Oh, Princess and Duchess? Are you achieved wanting round?”

“Sure! I’m achieved enjoying!”

“Did you just like the backyard?”

Rere checked out me earlier than nodding. Then she bowed barely to greet the Emperor.

“Thanks for letting me benefit from the lovely surroundings with my mother.”

“Hoo..! The Princess is so cute. I’ve by no means felt something like this as a result of I solely raised my son, you see.”

The truth is, the Emperor’s eyes turned affectionate on the sight of Rere. As if he was actually charmed by Rere.

I knew my daughter was unbearably beautiful, however I might by no means give her to that man. I might by no means let Rere be related to the Imperial Household.

“Then could I am going again now? Your Majesty the Emperor.”

“Oh, are you leaving already?”

“Sure. I assumed Rere could be drained as a result of it’s her first outing after so lengthy.”

“Yeah! Mother, hug me.”

“Okay, my daughter.”

I leaned down and held Rere without delay.

“Seeing the Princess like this makes me need to have a reasonably daughter. Daughter is ok, or possibly a daughter-in-law who is sort of a daughter sounds good, too.”

Daughter-in-law, my ass!

If he wasn’t the Emperor, I’d wish to spit out a bunch of swear phrases.

As if she could be your daughter-in-law! What sort of nonsense was that!

“Your Majesty appears wholesome sufficient to have a daughter by yourself. As a result of a daughter’s a daughter, and a son is a son. There’s no daughter-in-law who’s like a daughter on this world.”

I attempted to say it in probably the most refined and well mannered manner potential, however the Emperor’s face was nonetheless crestfallen. The identical was true of the Duke.

“I see.”

“Did I maybe make a mistake, Your Majesty?”

I pretended to be clueless and bowed my head swiftly. As if he couldn’t say what was on his thoughts, the Emperor solely pressured a smile.

“There’s no such factor. Then it’s best to head again now. I hope the Duke will think about what we talked about earlier.”

“Sure, Your Majesty.”

The Duke was clearly displeased by one thing. He led us to greet the Emperor once more after which returned to the carriage.

He didn’t say something on the stroll again. Even so, that didn’t make me really feel uncomfortable or something.

“Rere, after we get residence, I’ll make you a flower crown.”

“Yup! Make me a flower ring, too!”

“Okay!”

The Duke often turned his head to our dialog however had been silent for a very long time.

We simply walked and walked. Eventually, after entering into the carriage and departing, he opened his mouth.

“I believe it’s higher for you to not come once more to the Imperial Palace.”

“Are you speaking about me?”

“Sure.”

“I don’t have any intention of visiting. And I received’t let Rere go to the Imperial Palace once more.”

“We’ve no alternative. It’s His Majesty’s will.”

“Are you a canine?”

“What did you say?”

“Are you a canine that blindly obeys its proprietor and wags its tail irrespective of how badly it’s being handled?”

“Leona. I believe you’re crossing the road as a result of I’ve been good to you recently.”

“I believe it’s you who’s crossing the road.”

Rere regarded as much as me with out saying something. So I stroked her head whereas maintaining eye contact with him.

“Because it’s the Emperor’s will, we should obey it it doesn’t matter what. Is that what you’re attempting to say? Are you keen to throw away the promise you made to us?”

“That’s….”

“I’m positive you mentioned, ‘If Rere doesn’t need to go after going as soon as, I received’t power her anymore’.”

“I did say that, however Rere hasn’t selected something. And relating to the Crown Prince…Rere, you’re going to the palace to fulfill the Crown Prince once more, proper?”

At that second, the Duke’s eyes had been crammed with expectation.

“Rere, please consider carefully. He’s candy, good-looking and type. On prime of that, he’s the Crown Prince of this Empire.”

“I do know. I met him already.”

“Did you meet him?”

“Sure, I did. And I’ve made up my thoughts. I received’t go to the Imperial Palace once more! My mother doesn’t need me to try this, and the Crown Prince shouldn’t be that enticing.”

“H-Maintain on, Rere.”
