Chapter 83 (1/2)

No, but did I need to be this careful everytime I went out, considering my age now? At least when I went to hide my pretties I was a baby.

If there was one silver lining, it was that there was no one around. But as I walked further down the hall, I saw someone familiar.

“Princess!”

Oops, I got caught!

She was holding a warm towel that was still steaming. Thank goodness it was Hannah, and not Ces or Lili!

“You can’t come out like this!”

“I’m not hurt anymore. I’m just gonna take a walk.”

She quickly ran at me with a surprised expression. But I didn’t blink and just calmly headed down the stairs.

The only people who could stop me in this Emerald Palace were Felix and Lili, and both of them weren’t here.

She pattered after me and tried to convince me.

“But your face is still pale.”

“It’s because I haven’t been getting any sun.”

I wasn’t planning on listening to her anymore, so she couldn’t convince me no matter how hard she tried. Hannah just shifted her feet uncomfortably.

“Blackie’s in the garden?”

As I thoughtlessly ask the question, Hannah stopped.

“Uh, Princess. How about going back to your room? I’ll bring you tea and snacks. We made a lot of cakes that you like today.”

It was only a moment, but I grew suspicious. She furiously tried to take me back to my room, and I only wanted to leave more.

“I’m going to the garden.”

“P, Princess!”

I left Hannah behind, running towards the garden. And I shortly arrived at my destination.

But the usual place where Blackie was was completely empty.

Actually, it had been a while since I came to see Blackie. I didn’t come to see Blackie because of that incident recently, and especially because Claude got hurt.

Also, I was hesitating to meet Blackie again. However, now that I thought about it, I needed to check on him at least once. If the unfortunate event had really happened because of Blackie, like Lucas said, then he could still be dangerous.

So I decided to come see him…but he wasn’t in sight. Yeah, he could be playing somewhere else since the garden is big.

“Blackie.”

I began to search for him high and low. But regardless of how many times I called, he didn’t appear.

“Princess!”

After a while, Lili appeared with Hannah following right after her. She was speechless upon seeing that I was covered in twigs and leaves.

“Lili, where’s Blackie?”

However, she wasn’t able to answer right away like Hannah. I only thought of one reason why.

“Did Dad take him?”

“Princess, that’s not it….”

“Dad took him to kill him right?”

Lili opened her mouth like she was going to say something, but she just remained like that like she didn’t know what to say. I became even more sure that Claude had something to do with it.

Wow, that was what happened? I thought it was too quiet these days. I can’t believe he just took Blackie like that!
