Daughter of the Emperor

Chapter 466



Chapter 466: The Emperor’s Daughter 466

When I opened my eyes, I saw a familiar ceiling of the room greeting me.

I wasn’t even sure when I fell asleep. Even with my eyes open, I was down with a blank expression. My body felt like a wet cotton ball.

I wanted to get up, but I couldn’t control my body as if I was drunk.

My whole body felt like it had been beaten down. A familiar feeling of a cold body aching. I was barely managing to seat myself; I turned my head.

‘Have I lost consciousness?’

It seemed that I fell asleep without realizing it.

It was hard.

Usually, I would have been shocked, but my body felt heavy; I thought my mind was playing tricks on me. I was hoping for it to be a dream, but I jolted up when I saw the light stick out of the window.

What was I doing…

“D-dad!”

What happened to dad?!

My hazy mind awoke at once. Once I got up, the door opened with a woman hurrying in. I was so shocked to see her that I forgot my dad for a second.

“Princess!”

“Elene?”

After a while, Elene entered the room and brought in soup from a tray.

“Awake? Please have this.”

I wasn’t in the mood to eat something. I refused at once and asked what I was the most curious about.

“How is dad? Dad, what happened to him?”

“Don’t worry about Your Majesty, just eat this.”

“What happened to dad!”

As my voice rose, Elene flinched.

I wasn’t trying to scream at her; my voice just went loud since I was scared. I sighed, realizing that I lost my cool, but nothing changed.

Serira walked into the room.

“He’s still lying down. He’s conscious yet.”

Thank god…

Now that I was relieved, Elene, who was in front of me, whined to Serira.

“Ah, Miss Serira! I was about to tell her that I would tell her once she finished her meal!”

At that, Serira smiled.

I felt a little glad seeing these two in the same room; I smiled faintly.

“But why is Elene in here?”

“I called her.”

Serira responded.

I wanted to ask why, but before I could even ask, Elene grabbed me.

“Princess, why are you looking like that? Your cheeks seem to have shrunk. You said you were eating on time, so why?! Sleep well, and eat well! That way, your pale jade skin will be maintained, my, my.”

What?

I was curious why she talked about my pale jade skin, but I didn’t want to hear the bulk of it.

She must have spoken it without much thought.

‘Agh, this chatterbox.’

Even after getting married and turning into a mother, she was the same as when she was young.

Still, my heart relaxed a little when I heard her chatter.

I was always curious about how she was doing or if she was healthy or not, but seeing Elene in front of me answered my question.

“Your Majesty is fine. Even when the princess was asleep, he didn’t open his eyes, but his condition didn’t worsen either.”

He still hadn’t opened his eyes?

“It can’t be. I need to go.”

“Ah, wait!”

I didn’t have the time to sit in my room.

Elene caught me and put her index finger on my frowned forehead. She then pointed to the spoon beside me.

“Until you eat this, you will not leave!”

“Move, Elene!”

“Princess…”

I didn’t have the time to eat.

I didn’t want to delay it any further. When I was starting to be irritated, Elene grabbed my arm.

“Princess, think about it. What if his Majesty suddenly opens his eyes, huh!? He would think that his daughter couldn’t eat or sleep well because of him; would that be fine?”

Elene placed the spoon into my hand, knowing that I would do it upon mentioning my father.

“So, hold the spook like this and eat. Just once! Okay?”

She was practically begging me; it was tough to stop her.

Eventually, I started to move the spoon.

When I began to eat, Elene smiled. She was genuinely happy about it.

While I was eating, Serira placed flowers on the table. The flowers were familiar.

“Miss Silvia sent them.”

Ah, Sil sent them.

I wanted to meet her face-to-face, but this was enough; I was thankful for seeing the flowers Sil sent.

The small white lily released a calming aroma. The flowers relieved my mood. Still, I was a little upset.

Although I was eating, I couldn’t shake the thoughts of my dad from my mind.

“What if dad dies because of me?”

“Princess.”

“What am I supposed to do if dad dies?”

I didn’t want to sound weak, but my head was filled with these thoughts, and like a broken record, it kept playing again and again. I was anxious and scared, but it seemed like I would die if I wouldn’t relax.

When I let go of the spoon, Elene held it. Her warm hand held mine.

“It’s fine. That won’t happen.”

Really?

I’m not sure, but Elene nodded as if she was convinced of it.

“There’s no way Your Majesty would leave our pretty princess, hm.”

“Really?”

“Obviously.”

Elene smiled.

It seemed like I knew why the doctor married Elene. A man without such a woman would feel void.

“So, don’t keep thinking about it. Eat this, wash your face, and have confidence in yourself! Ready yourself and hold onto Your Majesty’s hand. When he wakes up, he can smile while looking at you.”

Yes, I would.

I held the spoon again. After all that, I went to wash my face and wore clothes.

Elene smiled, seeing me a little upset.

“I know this because I am a mother…”

While I was flustered, Elene held my hands.

“Your Majesty is happy to save the princess. He would never regret doing that. Trust me, I am a mom, and I know how it works.”

“You always chatter.”

At my retort, Elene scrunched her nose.

“But I am still a mother.”

It was an unfamiliar sight; I always thought she was the kind who messed around.

“No matter who I am, my children are more important to me.”

She was a mother.

Seeing Elene touched my heart; she was like an older sister who got married and had a child. I only sent her gifts when she gave birth.

It was strange to see Elene, who was like a sister, act motherly and mature. An extraordinary feeling.

“So, don’t cry anymore.”

Elene requested and stuck out her pinky finger to promise; that childish act made me laugh.

Although she seemed different, Elene was still Elene.

“Right, no more crying.”

I smiled.

That little smile made them all take a huge breath of relief. Libby entered the room and looked at me.

Serira too.

They were all so worried about me.

Suddenly, I felt like crying again.

I was about to cry, but I was not sad.

All because of the people around me.

Right, with these people around me, I could still live.

I wiped my tears and smiled brightly for them.
