The Emperor's Daughter - Chapter 288

Chapter 288: The Emperor’s Daughter Chapter. 288

More time had gone by, and the season of Agrigent had passed the summer; it was nearing autumn at this point.

Wow, time goes by so quickly…

Perhaps because it was Caitel’s birthday was about to happen soon, I could feel that the palace is loud and crowded these days. Of course, the whole country was already excited because of Aclys rising, which would also happen soon.

It’s a bright daytime like this, but the moon is up in the sky, cutting through the sunshine.

I looked up at the sky and inadvertently sighed at the atmosphere of the high moon that filled the air. Was this the third time I had seen that moon? I felt fresh every three years when this huge moon rose.

At first, it was just amazing, but now, it’s like… It seemed like the moon wanted to tell me that this is an entirely different place from where I used to live, and now, this is my world.

“Princess, I’m engaged!”

“…?”

I was drinking fresh fruit juice when I suddenly heard something, and I slipped my chin from my hand.

What did I just hear?

Elyne smiled shyly as she held me. The smile came into my eyes for a moment.

“We’ll be getting married soon.”

“Really?”

‘I mean, you have a guy? Ah, is it Hasin? I knew you two were getting friendly, but you’re already at that stage?’ I was just so confused, but Elyne kept being shy, touching her blushed cheek. I frowned.

“Who are you getting married to? Hasin?”

“Yes, Princess. You will give us your blessing, won’t you?”

I mean… I should be congratulating her earnestly.

“Of course, I should give you my blessing, but isn’t this too earl…”

“Congratulations, Elyne.”

Serira cut my words and patted Elyne’s head. Elyne’s face instantly brightened upon hearing Serira’s congratulations. Even Serira looked down at Elyne with a proud face.

“Thank you, Lady Serira.”

At that moment, Elyne smiles so brightly. She seemed so happy.

At her smile, all my complaints went back to my throat. She was so happy about it, so why should I ruin this moment for her? Who am I to do so? Wait, why was I so disappointed by the fact that Elyne was getting married anyway? Hasin was a good man. Seriously, I really thought he was, so why did I feel this way… No, that’s not the problem.

“So you are finally getting married. I’ve always been so worried about whether you’d be able to do so.”

“Gosh, Lady Serira!”

… I didn’t want us to be apart.
