Chapter 244 - Your fate is to live on (1/2)
”Do you like this place?” Amakaze's voice breaks the silence between them.
”Like?”
Amakaze smiled, ”Well, I guess you'll find out.”
...
Pupillam didn't want to stay at all; she wanted to rush back to the Princess side. She wants to avoid associating with her so-called fiance for a few days because her current state is not good. If he were to find out how weak she was, would he not try to take advantage of that situation? Pupillam didn't want to take any more chances. When the servants lead her to her room, she felt all eyes on her. The people working in this mansion must be very confused. While her family has status now, it doesn't change the fact that she is a commoner and not a noble.
It surprised her that nobody brought that up during the banquet. Then again, the event was hosted by Prince Andrew. People probably thought that since the crown Prince himself approved of the party, then they should go along with it too.
”Do not delude yourself,” a sly smile appeared on Amakaze face. Pupillam, however, was no idiot. She understood that whenever nobles smiled, that it meant nothing. The Princess would often tell her how Prince Allen's smile was empty at least in public. Pupillam knew what the Princess meant, nobles smile merely to be polite - but when they turn their backs, they will sneer at them. ”I wasn't involved in designing this place.”
That's not what she meant, but she supposes in a sense it surprised her. Everything here is most likely expensive, but everything is designed so simply.
It feels like Amakaze is getting better at reading her thoughts. Pupillam knew she would have to put an end to this. She wants to reply slyly and coldly to his words like she usually would. But as Pupillam looked around the room, she felt the words were stuck in her throat. She wanted to avert her gaze, but whenever she looked at his face, Pupillam noticed that his expression was different.
”Of course not,” she answers, ”That's not like you.”
Amakaze laughed, ”But my dear, your brother told me some of your preferences.”
Isn't that just contradicting what he said? Pupillam deeply sighed; she doesn't understand this man.
”The Princess, does she not have her own knights of order yet?”
Pupillam blinked, surprised at the sudden change of topic. She slowly nodded her head, not understanding where he was coming from. Before Pupillam could say a word, the doors opened and a frantic looking solider entered.
”Lady Pupillam, you must come quickly!! Princess Lyn's condition is..”
Pupillam's eyes widened in alarm, and she's out of the doors in seconds.
