"Alright, thanks for coming here. You may go now" Daulla said to all the attendants.
She noticed that I was waiting for her at the door and approached me.
"You didn't have to come to pick me up, Lil Das"
"I can't let such a beautiful girl travel alone"
"This beautiful girl has travelled alone half of her life"
"Not anymore"
"Shall we go?"
"Let's hold hands"
"That is off-limits"
"Come on, Daulla. I will be the king tomorrow. Show some affection towards your king"
"I love my king more than my life. I would die to protect him, and that's my duty"
"Don't talk about dying. No one is dying on my watch. I will protect you"
"It's a maid's duty to protect her master"
"And it's a king's duty to protect his loved ones"
"Not just loved ones" she fixed my collar and said, "A king's duty is to protect everyone"
"I couldn't care less about them"
"That's not what a king should say"
"That is what I say"
"You have been acting more and more like the King now"
"Don't compare me with grandpa. I can never become like him"
"You really admire him, don't you?"
"Can't a grandson admire his grandfather?"
"He can. But you are not that close to him, and yet. Whenever you see him, your eyes sparkle with admiration"
"What happens when I see you?"
"That…"
"What do my eyes sparkle?"
"Let's go now"
"Don't change the topic"
"I know very well how you feel about me"
"You are so cruel. This handsome boy has proposed to you dozens of times and you rejected him in a single second"
"Except this handsome boy happens to be the boy I raised"
Daulla started walking promptly.
"Don't sweat the details"
I tried my best to match my speed with her.
"Have you thought about what Ange would say?"
"I will convince her somehow"
"What about your girlfriend...s?"
We were basically running now.
"I will talk with them"
"Say Lil Das. Can't we be in the relationship we are in right now?"
"But if we can advance this relationship further than it is, isn't that better?"
"Is there any need to advance it further?"
Daulla stopped and looked back.
"There is"
"I don't see any reason"
"I love you and you love me. That's enough reason"
"Give me some time, Lil Das. We talk about this every day. It's getting..."
"It's getting what? Annoying? You find me annoying?"
"It hurts me to reject you every time"
I placed my hand on her lips and kissed it.
Her face flushed as she slapped my hand.
"Don't! Do. That!"
"Why?"
"That's wrong! We shouldn't do that"
"What's wrong with me kissing my hand?"
"And where your hand was?"
"Don't sweat the details"
"I need to tell all this to Lady Lier"
She is more perverted than me.
"You also used to kiss me everywhere"
"That's when you were a little kid"
"I am still your Lil Das"
"But you are grown up"
I held her hand and kissed it.
"Then forget about that"
She pulled her hand back and started walking again.
"Then why did you use to kiss me when I was a kid?"
"Because you were a kid! It's totally normal to kiss kids. And you were so cute and innocent, and your annoyed face was the cutest"
"You are saying some horrible things like it's totally normal"
"If you turn into a little kid again somehow. I might let you do whatever you want"
"I didn't know you were into small kids"
"What, no! That's not what I mean!"
"Then let me kiss you now. You are a beautiful girl, And I can't stop but thinking about kissing you"
"Why are we back to this topic again?"
I grabbed her hand and pushed her against the pillar.
"What are you doing?!"
"I have blocked all the way for your escape. If you want to break off, then you have to punch me or kick me. Would you hurt your Lil Das or let him kiss you?"
"That's not fair!"
"You can run if you want"
"At least give me some time to get ready for this?"
"No time this time"
I brought my face closer to her and--
"Ahem"
We were interrupted by someone's 'Ahem'.
Who is it?
A maid?! I will fire her if she is a maid--
"Oh hello, Lier" I jumped back.
"I was strolling in the garden and heard something like 'I will kiss you. Run if you want' so I came to take a look, and it turns out to be...."
"There was something in her hair. I was just taking it off!"
"It didn't look like that"
"It was very deep"
"I already know what you were going to do. Give Daulla some space. It's obvious that she doesn't...like it"
She glanced at Daulla, and so did I.
Daulla's face was as red as blood.
"Daulla? Don't tell me that you wanted him to--"
"That's not true!"
"Then why is your face this red? I have never seen you like that"
"I was just embarrassed! You would be too, right? If he came close to you and said 'I am going to kiss you' you will also be embarrassed, right?!" Daulla was desperately trying to prove her innocence.
"Not really" Lier replied instantly.
Daulla's face flushed more and more as she glanced at both of us.
After a while, she calmed down and said, "Let's go. We are getting late"
"Late for what? And we are already in the palace. Why would we be late?"
"You will be tattooing the Edens' crest on your body. And the tattooer is already waiting at the palace's lounge"
"Edens' crest?" Lier and I asked in unison.
"You don't know about it?"
"This is my first time hearing about it"
"Me too" Lier added.
"All the heads of the Edens' family have it"
"I have never heard of this"
"Ange has it too"
"She does?"
"You didn't even know that?!"
"It's not just me. Lier also doesn't know about it, right?" I asked Lier.
"Yeah"
"Well, it's just for following the tradition. So it's not really that important"
"None of the books had mentioned anything like that"
"Not everything is mentioned in the books"
"But if mom has it, then why have I never seen it?"
"Well...it's on her back. So..."
"Nevermind"
"Ange was so fashionable back then"
"Is...that so?"
"Yes. She wanted to impress your dad, so she always used to dress up like a princess would"
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
