The Princess is Evil Chapter 10

AN- I have an apology to make. In the previous chapters I seem to have overlooked the pronunciation that Leona sometimes has, so if you're confused about the baby speech, I only just realised 😳😖. Anyway, I'm really sorry.

The dry wind blew. I was stunned as I watched the back of the emperor who was walking away. How can there be such a heartless bastard? He's such a bad man. Harriet is keeping his watchful eyes on me. If the emperor had let me go to the banquet, no one could have forbidden me because an emperor's word is absolute. And yet… does his reaction even make sense?

“W'et's go.”

I began to run after him.

“Go, go, go!”

I ran on my stubby legs. It's my first time really running with this body, but I am the greatest witch so I can run fast. Trust me, I am the best. I'll catch him up…

“Oh!”

“Princess”

I was too confident and I slid on the ice. I didn't fall on the smooth ice but on the rocky ground so pebbles scraped my hands and knees.

“Ah, Princess! You're bleeding!”

Harriet trembled and rushed towards me. My knees were bruised and bleeding. Ick, I feel so dirty.

“I'm going to call a doctor right now. Come on, get up!”

I brushed the dirt off my skirt and looked towards the emperor's back and I ran towards him again.

“W'et's go twogethwer. Don't leave.”

The emperor looked down at me slowly.

“Are you sick?”

I blanked out for a moment. I didn't think that he would notice my wounds.

“Huwts.”

Thanks to slipping, my knees hurt so much but I endured it. The emperor of the continent hates the weak but I couldn't help crying a little.

“Don't cry.”

With 3 year old pronunciation, it was hard to fully express myself.

“Lweona can't twurn off her tears. It's a crwying thing.”

Phew. I think I've answered well. The emperor looked at me closely. Then he stretched out his big hand to lay on my head.

“…mya?”

I suddenly felt like I was floating as the emperor picked me up to his eye level.

“How did you get rid of the barrier before?”

Ah. I held my breath for a moment. I tried to put on an innocent face that said, 'what are you talking about?'

“How did you reach the mosaic?”

“The mosaic? Ah! The stone picture of that white bird?”

“You don't know how you reached it?”

I felt like crying now. What if the emperor can detect my lies.

“Woo?”

But I still pouted and feigned innocence. The emperor further narrowed the gap between us. Let's just keep a poker face.

“I just wanted to go to banquet. It hwurts.”

I moved the legs that were floating in the air. The emperor looked at me and for a moment it looked as if he was smiling. He put me down.

“Follow me.”

I laughed excitedly. After all, he can't abandon me.

“Daddy!”

I shout vigorously as I followed his steps. But after all,

“My legs hurt.”

I grabbed his cloak.

“Daddy, hold me.”

The cold expression of the emperor crumbled…

Harriet swallowed anxiously as he watched Leona tug onto the cloak of the emperor.

“Daddy, hold me.”

Harriet was concerned. If you don't let go, who knows what the crazy emperor will do. Harriet interrupted.

“Princess, how about you let me carry you?”

It was not in self interest. Of course he did it for the Princess.

“Go away…”

However, the young lady pushed Harriet away and grabbed tighter onto the emperor.

“If you don't hold me, I won't let go,” she said to the emperor as she held on fiercely.

Now, Harriet felt like crying. Although it's strange, normally people try to avoid the emperor. Even the princes are careful. But maybe it's because Leona is sad. Harriet recalled what Nikil had said Leona told him yesterday.

'Don't lie and say you love me.'

Because of her mother's death, she probably craves her father even more. So she probably needs her father's arms. She was instinctively looking for her parents. Harriet's eyes dampened. At that time, Leona was complaining in her heart.

'It hurts my arm. Hurry up and pick me up.'

She felt like growling at the emperor who was unresponsive. Leone felt that the emperor must like her as he didn't reject her so she thought that she should be more forward. She couldn't use magic because she was hiding her identity so she could only rely on her father.

“Daddy, why aren't you holding me? Walking hurts my legs.”

I turned my bright, gleaming eyes towards his.

'Hugg! Pick me up!'

Leona's fighting spirit was strong but her body was getting tired. Just as she was feeling sad, she felt arms picking her up. Leona's eyes widened. The emperor's chest felt warm and his supporting hands were gentle.

However, all Leona could think was, 'I won.'

She was drunk on her victory. After all, no human could reject her. Now the emperor too had become her follower!

“Daddy!”

Leona smiles at him and the emperor stares back. Harriet could only look at them in speechlessness as he wondered about the emperor actually holding a child. Harriet was overwhelmed. He barely resisted the urge grab Leona. He hurriedly looks at the emperor's face but the emperor was…

“Smiling?”

The emperor was smiling slightly as he looked down at Leona. Harriet had a headache. The emperor was smiling?

'Perhaps…'

Harriet wondered if maybe the emperor was changing and his chest swelled with hope.

“If you don't come right now, we'll leave without you.”

Harriet's bubble burst and he ran after the emperor in a rush.
