"Drop the pest and let it follow me, don't offer her any help" Ignatius said and Carl who is a coward immediately put me down.
"Traitor" I told him with a glare and he seems a bit pushed back.
"He is quite scary your highness, not to mention that this is just his normal self. Just wait when you hear his war stories and it still makes me shiver because I experienced it on the first place." He said while he was shivering.
"Yeah~ Yeah~ reason it out on your own. I will not going to talk to you until you figure it out on how to make me not angry of you" I said as I stride to keep up with Ignatius that monster. I am still a child and his legs are long, it takes me about three steps to come up with just a step of him.
Argh! I'm angry.
"Carl… Do not enter the room whatever happens" he said with a glare again.
"You're planning on killing me without anyone looking don't you?" I said and he looked back.
"How did you know?" he said and Carl's now down.
"I can read it on your face, that deadly aura" I replied
"Don't urge him your highness" Carl whispered again.
"I already died years ago and you think I don't know how it feels to die?" I replied.
"What are you talking about? Died years ago? You? Seriously?" Carl asked again.
"Yeah~ " I replied without even thinking any further.
"When?" he asked again.
Oh right! I died when I was Cianne… I forgot that I am Celestia and the daughter of this Ignatius .
"When my Mom died… I already considered myself dead and just a rodent now" I told him and he just hold my shoulders.
"You're not a rodent and you might seem to not know but his majesty loves you, he's not just showing it" Carl said and even though he said that just to calm me down I already know the truth.
When I entered Ignatius' study room, we were locked in this suffocating room all by ourselves.
"What do you want to talk about your majesty?" I asked without bowing down.
"Every this time of the day, you will be with me for two hours and I will judge you by myself" he said as he sat down on his table which is flooded with documents.
"What are you expecting from a very young child like me?" I asked without walking forward.
"Right? What do I expect from a rodent like you?" he said but he started looking at the documents.
"Then… if I am a rodent, you are a rodent too, since you are my father, don't mind me" I said as I stride to his book shelves. I wonder what kind of books he is reading. He might like them before but it gives me additional information about him.
Since all I can reach for now is the bottom 5 rows, I started with the far left and first row.
"Are you sure you can understand them by yourself?" he asked while he was leaning his head on his hand while judging me.
Why is he staring at me like that? It is like he is looking directly at my soul.
"You are underestimating the rodent your majesty. Reading all these is as simple as 1, 2, and 3. I am not that dumb" I said and I never bothered looking at him. I just sat in front of the bookshelf and never bothered making myself comfortable while reading.
Time passed by quickly and I didn't notice it but I fell asleep as soon as I am in my third book. I guess having a child's body also has an effect on me.
I woke up in an unfamiliar room, and it was also comfy. I looked around and saw that it was dark outside but it is too bright here.
"You enjoyed sleeping on my bed" someone said with a cold voice which is still sending shivers down to my spine.
"You have been knocked out after reading 3 books? How weak" he said while I heard papers flapping and when I looked at him, he was wearing glasses which doesn't suit him because now he doesn't look like a tyrant but more like a kind individual.
"I am also a kid and it was already tiring when I am in the same room as you your majesty" I said while I fixed the bed back like it was used to.
"How insolent of you talking like that in front of the greatest emperor" he said and he was looking at me with those deadly eyes again while he was looking perfectly normal.
"I admit your majesty that you're a one great emperor with your feats alone BUT in my opinion, the greatest emperor of all time is the first emperor Theodosius, who created the empire from scratch." I defended but his face turned darker than it normally was.
"Haaa… Is your sole purpose is to taunt me?" he asked with a questionable expression.
"What do you mean? Did you have that in mind when you and my mother made me? It was your fault for creating me with that purpose in mind?" I said with a blank expression and when I looked at him. His expression changed into something that I never seen before.
His face suddenly turned red with his eyes widened then for a while he covered his mouth as if he is hiding something from his expression.
"I can't believe this. You're far more brilliant than your age" he suddenly said which made me question his strange actions.
"Where did you learn about something like that?" he asked.
"I read it somewhere" I replied with a blank expression.
"What? You're reading something inappropriate" He said coldly and went back to his papers.
"It seems like I took too much of your time your majesty" I told him and gave him a bow as I went back to the door. I never looked back at him.
I really hate being in the same room as him. Not only that it feels awkward, cold and silent all the time, although I like my silent room but the problem is now I hate the silent room with him.
I sighed "What a bother" I said and I felt a dark aura in the castle. It seems like it was leading me into something. I shouldn't go because I might make Daisy worry about me but I can't seem to control myself as I was following the trail of the dark aura.
