Papa can I kill you

Chapter 25

Guess what day it is? It's the big day! The Reha festival is here upon us, and starting it off is Ruyim. So exciting right?! 'Why am I getting so excited for this? There is no reason for me to be so excited!' Hilana came into my room with her usual morning smile. Greeting me and getting me all dressed up. "Princess you look absolutely wonderful for Ruyim." I looked in the mirror. Aside from my usual demon-like eyes, the top of my head was braided down to the bottom. The rest underneath was left free-flowing on the back that looked too bright and long. I wore a long-sleeved fur-rimmed dress with simple embroidered flower patterns spread across. Fur cloak and thick blue pants plus cute little boots. Honestly, it's pretty cute. We walked out of the room to find it snowing lightly. "Morning Princess, Hilana!" Avia called out, running up to us with her arms full of paper?

"Calm down Avia no need to rush." Hilana said, wiping off Avia's sweat with a handkerchief.

"Sorry just got too excited! This year will be especially special! I have the paper ready and everything!" Avia smiled brightly, with her nose and cheeks tinted slightly red from the cold. The three of us walked to the dining hall, and it was packed with people and chatter. Here's something surprising I haven't seen any nobles, or maybe I have, and they're very low-key. Anyway, outside the window was the training field, and it was filled with tables and soldiers. For once, the training field actually looked lovely with all the bright colors and hanging lanterns. I looked back at the dining room to see the twins, Druvem, the two assistants, my two guards with other guards around the place, Romulus, and speaking of him. Oh boy. The moment we made eye contact, he sped straight for me.

"Princess!" He yelled with that happy smile of his. 'How does he have so much energy?' Hilana lifted me away from Romulus's incoming attack. He stopped himself before he fell and looked back at us.

"Nice to see you are doing well Chancellor." Hilana said, smiling at Romulus while carrying me in her arms.

"It's been a while hasn't it Hilana, you look the same as before and call me Romulus. I need someone I can talk to casually after dealing with all those old stuck up retainers and nobles." Romulus sighed. Hilana chuckled and nodded her head. "Anyway, how have you been princess? That bully Lyer didn't do anything mean to you right?" Romulus asked out of goodwill, but I wish I had the chance to warn him.

"So I'm a bully? Then I'll have you cooked and sent out as the sacrifice to the dead." My father said, and Romulus's face stiffened.

"Now Lyer don't be cruel to your dear old friend and probably one of your only friends." Romulus, you are now asking for a death wish. My father pulled out his sword and put it right up against Romulus's neck, ready to taste some excellent fresh blood.

"Is that so. I'll end your misery." Romulus still had a nervous smile on him.

"Don't make me do it Lyer. You know how much I don't want to." Now, this piqued both my interest and my father's interest.

"I wonder what kind of trick you have up your sleeve, either way, this will be your death day." My father said very nonchalantly. He must be bored.

Romulus fidgeted out of fear, and who could blame him. My father's the devil in disguise. "Mitanya(1)!" Romulus shouted, pointing behind my father. Then, almost as if on a reflex, my father turned behind him, and there was nobody. Romulus, on the other hand, took this chance and ran.
My father, now realizing he had been tricked, clenched his hands, and you can see the killing intent in his whole body. "Papa." I went and called out to him. How dumb must I get until I am satisfied...I do not know. My father looked over at me. It seems like he finally noticed I exist.

"When did the bug get here?" My father said, still crude as ever. I despise him on so many levels. But, nevertheless, I smiled up at him.

"Papa!" I called out again with more cheer than I was willing to admit. My father looked uninterested and went back to his seat, sheathing his sword along the way. 'Yes, it went well! Now I just have to keep it up until I'm at the ripe age of killing.' Hilana, on the other hand, had other thoughts in mind.
