Chapter 62
Separation or a Holiday“It’s time to leave, is it?”
After the four sisters woke up the next day, Ying told the four the news that their father was coming, exciting them . However, Liu Yue looked dispirited . Her tail lifelessly hung down and didn’t move . It was as though it had become a lifeless fox scarf .
“You will have to go back, as well . It is enough now, isn’t it? You have witnessed Queen Vera’s coronation, too . Your goal in coming here this time was to help her ascend, was it not? You have succeeded, so you should stay in the palace and wait for His Majesty’s arrival . ”
Nona unhappily responded, “Ah? It was dangerous, but since Queen Vera has been crowned, it shouldn’t be dangerous anymore, right? I want to have some fun here . The markets were closed last time . I want to have some fun at the markets . ”
Ying calmly replied, “Princess Nona, please do not be wilful . This is about your safety . I must admit it was my fault you were in danger last time, which is why I do not want for you to continue staying here . It is not safe here . What do we do if another attack happens?”
Advertis.e.m.e.ntThe last incident left Ying traumatised . If the four sisters wound up hurt again, Ying’s dignity as a guard would totally crumble; therefore, her decision took her personal feelings into consideration . If the four sisters stayed there, she’ll have perfectly completed Troy’s mission for her . She, therefore, wouldn’t need to be criticised . Ying was Troy’s bodyguard; consequently, she held his opinion of her with a lot of weight .
Vera didn’t speak and calmly ate breakfast . The truth was Vera had started to miss her dad . She hadn’t seen him in a month . She didn’t have time to miss her father upon first arriving due to the new environment as well as her concerns for succession of the throne . After two brushes with danger, however, new things no longer felt new . She began to miss her warm home and gentle father . She wanted her dad spoil her . She was ready to return home in peace once her father arrived .
Daisy felt the same way as Vera . She missed her father, but she also felt she needed to train . She wanted to go home and ask her mom to train her again . Fear still struck her . She thought she was able to defeat many people; she thought she was a swordmaster, a successful warrior, but the reality was that she was a weak coward . She was afraid . Hence, she was happy to hear that her father was coming . She wanted to go home .
Nona, on the other hand, wanted to have some more fun . She definitely missed her dad, having said that . Nona stopped to ponder to herself . With a beaming smile, she enthused, “Can we wait for Dad to arrive, and then ask Dad to take us around for some fun? Ah, that’s a good idea if I say so myself . Wouldn’t it pretty much be the equivalent of Dad taking us on a holiday? This is a nice place with lots of tasty foods, as well . I really want Dad to have fun with us . ”
Ying, hopeless, stated, “You will have to speak to His Majesty about that . ”
The three sisters then looked to Liu Yue, who had yet to say a word . Liu Yue meekly had a bit of her soup . Her ears stood up . She didn’t drink much alcohol last night, but she looked similar to Troy when he had hangovers . She noticed everyone’s gaze on her . She looked up and, in a hazy state, questioned, “Huh? What are you looking at me for?”
“Miss Ying just said Dad is on his way here and will take us home . ”
“Huh? Why?”
“Because we’ve already achieved our goal? Queen Vera has been crowned, so we’ve succeeded? Moreover, Dad was startled by what happened last time, which is why he’s personally coming to take us home . ”
Vera explained the reason . Liu Yue reacted as though she finally realised her dad was coming . She excitedly swung her tail and her ears stood up” “Dad is coming?! Dad is coming?! That’s fantastic . We can ask Dad to take us out for some fun . It’ll be a joyous holiday once Dad arrives . ”
Due to the way Liu Yue reacted with delight, Vera suddenly suspected if Liu Yue was actually awake . Liu Yue seemed as though she’d forgotten the two buildings collapsing . The attack still traumatised Vera . When Vera looked up during the attack, she saw two buildings block the sun out then whizzing down . It was practically the scene of the world ending . Liu Yue didn’t see the scene, but Vera, who protected the carriage, saw everything . To ensure she didn’t mishear, Vera asked again: “Is that what you think, Princess Liu Yue?”
Liu Yue nodded . Smiling, she answered, “It’s fine . There’s no need to worry about a.s.sa.s.sins, is there? We’re not their target . Their goal is to stop Miss Vera from ascending the throne . That has nothing to do with us . She’s successfully ascended, so they’ve totally failed . Even if they want to do something about it, they wouldn’t attack us when we’re having a vacation, would they? Plus, we’ll have Dad with us . Dad is invincible!”
“Why are you so confident in His Majesty…?” Ying sighed; however, she had to admit Liu Yue had a point .
Vera sighed: “In that case, how do you explain the last attack? The target of the last attack wasn’t Queen Vera but us . They would’ve blown up the first carriage when it pa.s.sed through, otherwise . Why did they allow the first carriage through before they exploded the buildings to crush us? It’s incomprehensible . Do you think it’s convincing to say they didn’t know where the Queen was? You think it’s convincing they didn’t know which carriage she was in? I know logic dictates that they should’ve gone after Queen Vera, but there’s only one possible explanation for the last attack, and that was the a.s.sa.s.sins were after our lives . ”
“But all of the a.s.sa.s.sins must’ve partic.i.p.ated in the last a.s.sa.s.sination, right? There should hardly be any a.s.sa.s.sins in the imperial city now, right?”
“No, Your Highness, as your bodyguard, I can say that the a.s.sa.s.sins are not military members . Soldiers rely on numbers . On the contrary, one a.s.sa.s.sin, alone, can complete a mission . If we are to take safety into consideration, I think you should stay in the palace and not go outside in the meantime . ”
Liu Yue wasn’t the type to let everything fall on deaf ears . She looked at her sister and Miss Ying . She contemplated it to herself for a while . She had a bit of a headache due to the alcohol she drank; nevertheless, she was capable of understanding what everybody said . Eventually, she sighed: “All right, then . Let’s get ready to head home . It’s nice to see Dad . ”
“Yeah, I miss Dad . ”
“We all do . ”
