Daughter of the Emperor

Chapter 458



Chapter 458: The Emperor’s Daughter 458

What was the situation? My father, who was supposed to be anxious, was somewhat cool headed instead, while the sixth prince was nervous.

“Are you trying to trick me! did you think that I would do as you asked?!”

“If you think I am tricking you, I can kill her.”

Caitel pulled out the sword of a nearby soldier and raised it without hesitations, ready to strike her.

‘Is he really going to kill?’

I was staring, waiting for what he would do, but suddenly, someone shouted from the side.

“Stop!”

The sword stopped right near her neck. Caitel looked at the source of the voice, deep silence spreading across the room. In the subtle tension that no one wanted to intervene, the sixth prince decided to raise the white flag.

The sixth prince gave a short order while looking at Caitel.

“Release her.”

“Mr. Siorn!”

The sixth prince’s face crumbled. I was shocked.

“Release her.”

Releasing me was a good sign…

How did the situation turn so well?

With dissatisfied faces, the soldiers released me. I ran straight to my dad. I walked down the stairs and ran across the hall towards Caitel. It felt like forever.

Honestly, I wasn’t sure if they were sent away, but no one stopped me until I reached my dad.

What. Eating on such a day would feel good, right?

“Let this go now, okay? Haven’t you ever heard about the honor of a man’s words?”

“Well, no one told me about such things.”

Responding, Caitel held his sword.

With minimal movement, Caitel looked at me.

“Prepare to run.”

‘Run? Is there another plan, dad?’

I tried to prepare my band, but I was anxious. Could we really get away from there?

The old woman that Caitel released went into the sixth prince’s side. She seemed so weak that I felt sad about the treatment she received. After all, life in this world was a mess.

The sixth prince, who saw his mother being taken away to a safe place, turned a little comfortable and looked towards us. That villain, when his mother was taken away, he changed.

“But it looks like the results are already decided, brother.”

Results are decided?

The sixth prince, who was full of anger, spoke again.

“I did say it. I have no intention of sending you two back alive.”

“As I said, I am not letting you live either.”

Caitel clenched his sword. That alone gave me a rough idea of what would happen.

Woah! That sixth prince, one hell of a bad guy!

If he let us go, things would have ended neatly!

“Catch them and bring them here!”

The sixth prince ordered while glancing at us.

“It doesn’t matter if you bring them dead either.”

At that very moment, Caitel grabbed my hand and ran.

“Run!”

Ahhhh!

What the hell?

It was nice to meet my dad after so long, but I was asked to run, but I wasn’t prepared for these soldiers following us.

What a rotten world!

Once we left the hall, whatever the way was, we took it and hid in the room. Quietly, holding our breaths, we waited for the soldiers to pass.

How big was that man’s mansion?

I knew that it was huge enough to be a palace, but it was frustrating that I didn’t see the structure’s size!

Naturally, dad seemed alright.

I looked back to see Caitel exhale.

“Why come here? Did you come alone?! Dad, did you lose it?! Idiot!”

I sighed after yelling out. I was really touched that he came for me, and I should have kept my mouth shut without saying all those.

‘The man, I have gone mad. And what did he do a while back?’

The sixth prince’s mother. It was as if, ‘you threaten me with my daughter, then I will hold your mother to threaten you.’ What was that?!

Caitel stared at me without knowing my heart.

What? What!

At that moment, he opened his mouth.

“You really are my daughter.”

Could I be a fake daughter? I frowned as my dad added a few more words.

“That dirty temper, it is exactly what I have.”

“Do you really need to do that analysis right now?”

I did say that, but my father’s words made me feel calm.

Ha, right, my dad. I was never a person who relocated to another place. I was born.

“It looks like my daughter had rough days? Are you in a better mood now?”

Was it really the time for him to say that? It was my fault that my dad got involved in such a thing.

“We can’t run away from here!”

“It’s alright.”

‘What is alright?’

At that moment, when I was about to speak, the door opened wide, and dad walked out.

‘What is he doing?!’

Confused, I followed him.

Uh? Weren’t we supposed to stay hiding?

Thankfully, there were no soldiers in the hallway.

What?

I ran along with my dad.

I kept running.

Still, something felt wrong. Other than joy, there was some other emotion inside me—a weird premonition.

Right then.

“Argh!”

The soldiers appeared and threw their swords at us.

Although Caitel managed to avoid getting hit at any vital point, I thought I would die.

I was shocked.

I didn’t even remember what happened apart from soldiers collapsing onto the floor.

What happened?

“It’s alright. I didn’t hurt him before I killed him.”

He killed him? When I saw the man, he was already dead, and it didn’t seem like he was in pain. I only saw one man, but another five to six soldiers were on the floor.

The other soldiers came at us.

Did dad even know the way out?

I was anxious that Caitel was moving around without knowing the way. It wasn’t like I knew the way either. Well, I was just glad that I got to see my dad again.

What happened to the Imperial Palace? How did dad know that I was here? How did he even get in?

Now that I was feeling lively, questions began to fill my mind. I was curious about everything, but I would forget them when dad looked at me from time to time. I just held onto his hand harder.

I really wanted the time to stop.

“Ah.”

I hit my head on dad’s back, who stopped running. I groaned without realizing, when suddenly, a huge hand covered my mouth and pulled me back, it was dad.

I heard a tremendous noise as if something burst.

“What was that sound?”

Did something explode?

I looked back at dad, but he just put his finger on my lip, asking me to stay quiet.

Throwing away the sword in his hand, Caitel reached out to the air.

“Uh?”

It was a familiar sword.

The sword I had seen before in Caitel’s hand, the silver sword.

Why did he take it out?

For a moment, I was in doubt until Caitel decided to move.

‘What is he doing?’

When I got up and followed him, everything was done, three soldiers died on the floor, and I understood what happened.

Then, I heard another explosion again.

“Uwagh!”

This time, the floor beneath us shook. It seemed like it happened nearby.

What was that sixth prince even doing?

Was he trying to self-destruct because of his madness?!

The prince must have escaped already.

What were we supposed to do?

I followed my dad, but the ceiling collapsed due to the explosion, and our path disappeared under the rubble. Looking back, Caitel moved again. He seemed like he would kill someone again.
