Chapter 6

Ugh…

A groggy sensation unlike anything I’ve experienced before has enveloped me It’s difficult to even think properly It’s about as pleasant as the night after drinking ’til you faint Not that I’ve ever done that, of course

As I openis still co me a little HAVE I GONE BLIND? If I have, that would suck A second illness to deal hen I’ve barely got around to counteracting the first one? Give me a break!

I try to raiseh – the shape of the pressure is obviously that of a hand The only question left is whose hand it is

“Cal to attack the place”

A bitter voice can be heard, directing an inkling of disapproval at me It’s not completely noticeable, but as I’ve had si that I’ve done to gain this girl’s negative feelings Is it possible that it was so that happened after I received this amulet, or is there more to this?

“There’s currently a small layer of Korik over your eyes Close them, then wipe it off with the back of your hand”

I nod and do as she tells ins speaking again

“Honestly, ere you doing? Fainting in the library and beco prince who does such a thing still alive?”

My vision is still poor but I can sort of see the girls shape now I can’t be entirely sure, but I don’t believe her to be so the fact I’ve only really been conscious for a few days, that isn’t very surprising She continues speaking

“I brought you back here so you wouldn’t get in anyone’s way Luo to a class that she was prepared to skip for you The only way I could do that though, was say I’d look after you I didn’t want thelike you”

Is it just ht, the less she softens the insulting blows she sends at me? This definitely feels like hatred Therefore –

“Have I done anything to hurt you?”

“Have you ever done anything at all!?”

Ouch That’s a harsh blow, you know?! It’s not like I chose not to do anything! Well, I think I knoho this girl is though The king hinted at someone ould treat me like this, I just didn’t want to believe it

“Not in the past, but I can do things in the future, right, onee-sa yet cause onee-sama to hate me?”

“Hah! Don’t be stupid – you think it’s only because you haven’t done anything? Your worthless existence cost the kingdo opted to keep you alive because he was a sentiht away!”

“Removed?”

“Cut froone! Dead Completely dead Understand? You shouldn’t be alive!!”

“Onee-saer brother?”

“What younger brother – all I can see is a waste of the kingdom’s resources on a sick boy”

While that ht? Haven’t I proved that I’uing, should be proof enough She’s probably atte to belittle me so I leave… It won’t work!

“Then… What can I do so I won’t be a waste?”

“H!”

She turns away in a huff A rejected by your own fa , but even if she did there is still flawed reasoning behind it – Argh, I still feel the need to thank her even though I doubt it was out of any kind of affection for me

“Onee-sa me back here”

I swear I can see a tinge of pink appear on her cheeks, but I’ht? The way she treatsher is one that displays how much she despises me It’s similar to the aura of Hades back then… No, I should not be reht now

“Whatever I didn’t do it for you I just didn’t want anyone to be troubled by a pathetic person like you”

“Even so…”

When she looks back at htest bit If it was so to detect this fluctuation, I doubt they’d have noticed It’s just I’ve had si allies before If I were to try and explain that I was better now to her, I’d be lying What I need to do now is h I’ I wasn’t doing before Well, I wasn’t doing anything before which seems to be the reason she hates me This amuses me for some reason

“Anyway, that book were you reading earlier… How do you kno to read?!”

Oh shi+t… That’s so I didn’t consider before Of course the o the library! I shouldn’t be able to read Did I mess up? What should I do? Wait, never mind… I’m the prince – not y… If I wasn’t practically a cripple Uhh… What do I say?

I tilt my head
