Chapter 213: Chapter 213

I looked at him, putting my hand on my forehead. I couldn’t understand what he was talking about because I felt a bit woozy. Obviously, I heard him talking to me, but could not understand exactly what it meant.

“… Sein.”

“Why are you trying to fight with your back to the wall all the time? It seems you are always driving yourself into an extreme situation. Don’t you know that?”

“Hey, Sein.”

“You are scared about it, too.”

“Sein…”

“Standing at the edge of a cliff, you’re actually scared about it, right? But why are you driving yourself into a corner like that?”

I took a deep sigh. I wanted to tell him to talk about it later.

But Carsein kept talking, ignoring my repeated calling of his name.

“Don’t think there’s no place to go. I’ll pull you up. I’ll hold your hand for you to come back. Got it, Tia? ”

“Whew…”

“Don’t make any excuses by citing my father. When I said that I would move out, I already gave up the idea of following his political line.”

“…Ugh? Wait a minute.”

When he mentioned he would move out, I came to my senses suddenly. I was wondering what he kept babbling on, and he was repeating what he had told me the other day.

“Hey, you already told me about it the other day, right?”

“Yes, but as I told you a moment ago, I can’t watch you being ridiculed anymore.”

“…Sein, you are one of the two most precious men to me. So, I don’t want to sacrifice you because of me. ”

“I’m not sacrificing for you. I told you that’s what I want.”

I sighed deeply. In fact, I didn’t hate it when he offered to help. Had he not been precious to me, I might have accepted his offer selfishly when he first mentioned it. Why did I reject it when he was determined to help me even at the risk of turning against his own family? Why did I refuse it when he said he would absolutely support me in a situation where I need an ally so badly?

But I could not accept his offer. Then, and now.

“Are you serious? I know you hate politics and complicated things like that. You said you wanted to practice your sword and help your family’s work even if you moved out. Then, are you going to enter the political world? Why? Because you are suddenly interested? ”

“… ”

“That’s not what you want, Sein. So let’s stop talking about it. I can’t just watch you sacrifice yourself for a little help.

“…A little help. Didn’t I give you any big help?”

I flinched at his trembling voice, but I kept silent, turning away from him. I was sorry for offending him, but it was better than me watching him regret his decision later.

How much time passed?

When I agonized about what to do in awkward silence, I heard someone calling me from a distance. It seemed that a servant came to look for me because I was away for too long.

“… Let me go back first.”

When I said that hesitantly, Carsein stepped sideways silently. I was bothered by that, but I walked away, ignoring him.

I smelled earthy scent in the breeze. When I shook off my complicated thoughts, breathing in the fresh air as much as I could, I suddenly smelled a fragrant scent tickling the tip of my nose. Obviously, it was a familiar scent to me, but I could not find the owner of the fragrance when I looked around. Was it because of my mood?’

I felt a bit uncomfortable to think like that, but I didn’t have time to delay anymore.

After a long sigh, I hurriedly walked back with the servant.

“The weather is very nice.”

“Yes, it is, Lady Monique. It ‘s very suitable for hunting. ”

Fortunately, the next day, the sky was very clear in the morning. When I looked up at the clear sky, a smile came to my lips.

‘Okay, what I can focus on for now is to achieve good results.’

Because of the emperor’s sudden appearance, the original purpose of this hunting event was a little faded, but today the hunting contest was intended to prove my competence as the successor of my family. So, I had to achieve good results by all means.
