What the hell did I expect from this guy? Now I felt like I was the one at fault. Ha, life remained wasted. Yeah, what did I want from him? Just my karma.

  Scolding Assisi seemed to be over, for now, so Elene asked me as she pouted

  “But what about this, Princess?”


  What Elene meant was a statue of my crystal that was utterly crushed. Oh, I forgot about this problem. I guessed that my face must have looked terrible. Assisi’s face also showed his depressed state.

  I wanted to ask Assisi as to why do humans live, anyway?

  Oh, I didn’t have the answer. After thinking about it hard, I felt that it would be a bad idea to throw it away, so I wrapped it in clean silk and hid it under the bottom of my drawer.

  If I did this, then my dad wouldn’t catch me.

  However, now I was worried about the future. I treated that statue as if it was gold and silver, so my father would probably ask me as to where it went once I stopped carrying it around me. He didn’t say anything, but I noticed how Caitel would watch me cherish that statue with a warm smile on his face. Well, I didn’t know why he was doing that. What the hell was I supposed to do about this? What was I supposed to tell him? Should I say that I lent it to my friend?

  … Oh, right. I didn’t have any friends. Tsk, my life indeed was just a progression of contemptible stories.

  “Don’t worry about it too much. He won’t ask you.”


  Serira comforted me as I suffered from worry. I clung to Serira at this time. Mom, sob sob.

  “Now, princess, why don’t you go and get a bath?”


  “Yes. Okay.”


  I must go get a bath now.

  I didn’t know why they had to prepare so much water for a seven-year-old girl to wash, but I was obliged to soak in a bathtub filled with different beautiful flowers that I had never seen before.

  Once I moved in preparation for the bath, Assisi followed me in silence. I guessed that he wanted to stay in front of the bathroom while I took a bath… Oh, I was not so sure anymore.

  I seemed to have given up on Assisi. The knight protecting the whole empire was now only guarding the entrance of my bathroom. It was a severe waste. Waste!

  Still, it felt good to soak in hot water.

  Besides, how comfortable it was to let my maids wash me as I stayed motionless. This was why all the princesses here looked so undecayed.

  Yes, I liked being a princess, but I did have one complaint…


  I wanted to pull off the dead skin on my body personally!
