Papa can I kill you

Chapter 29

I woke up to the morning chirps of the bird and the knocking on my door. I looked over at the door as Hilana came into the room with a gentle smile. 'I can always count on my nanny to make me feel better.' I got out of my covers and hugged my nanny as best as I could. "Good morning princess." Hilana said with her usual gentle voice. I smiled back at her.

"Morning, Princess!" I heard Avia yell as she came walking in with such perkiness. 'And I can count on Avia to be such a sun. So I guess this life isn't completely hopeless after all. Eh, I'll wait and see.' I looked at my bedside to see the same golden mask my mom was wearing. 'I wonder why she didn't speak. Maybe the dead can't talk, but she doesn't say anything in my dreams either. Whatever I rather not think about it. Yesterday wasn't exactly all happy and fun for me.' I thought back to that scene where I almost died on cliff rocks. "Yesterday's festival was so much fun! The bonfire was so big and bright!" Avia talked about how much fun she had last night while Hilana dressed me up all pretty for the day.

"It was quite enjoyable. Did you enjoy the festival, princess?" Hilana asked, and I nodded happily for my nanny's sake because I cant bear making her life any harder than it honestly should. "What did you think about the envoy's princess?" Hilana asked while brushing out my hair, making me think of the boy. 'Honestly, they are pretty mysterious, but also, that boy was giving off some shoujo vibes I rather not delve into.'
"Pretty eyes!" I said excitedly. I mean, it's true. He has lovely eyes, and I would kill to get them, but I won't because I'm not a sick pervert! I had to deal with plenty of them back when I took on requests, and honestly, it's pretty disturbing.

After, I was all prim and proper like a princess. The three of us walked out of my room, greeted by the passing servants and guards. I ate and played like normal, but the only unusual thing was I didn't see my father. 'Considering what happened, it's probably a good idea to not see each other. The awkward atmosphere will be very awkward, and I don't want to deal with him for now.' I nodded to myself, but then another thought popped into my head. 'Why did I even think about him in the first place? Am I desperate for his attention? I mean, am I that lonely? This seems kind of pathetic even by my standards.' I've transmigrated into one of those manhwa's I've read, and apparently, my need for familial attention is getting in my way of enjoying life! 'I have to get my priorities straight. That man is willing to kill me, and if I want to live to where I can kill him, I better make sure I live till then. Honestly, I feel like my regression has been getting worse and worse! If I don't find something to ground me to my mental age, I might become a child for real.'

We headed to the yard, where I played around. The snow melted, so everything was nice and warm. 'Weather here is so strange, but it's durable." I plopped myself to the ground and looked up at the white fluffy clouds and the light blue sky. 'It's such a lovely day. It must be so soft and delightful like cotton candy.' Don't we all have those moments when we want to do something humanly impossible but still wish we can somehow do it. 'What you doing, princess?' I looked to my left and found the demon lying beside me. 'What does it look like I'm doing. I'm living.' The demon laughed at my misery or fortune and viewed the clouds with me. "Well, viewing clouds like this is quite boring. Let's get a better view." The demon turned his head and smiled at me mischievously. 'I have a bad feeling about this.' I frowned at the demon, who completely ignored my expression. "Hilana, I'm taking the princess out to play!" The demon shouted to my nanny, who wasn't too far away.
"Make sure she is safe and comes back before dinner time." Hilana gave her permission with a lovely smile. I looked at my nanny, shocked. 'Nanny, don't let this demon take me to my potential death!' I cried internally as my nanny offered me as a sacrifice.

With Morium carrying me in his arms, we went somewhere. 'Where are you taking me?' He looked like he was having fun. "Somewhere you will like." We flew up to the top of the tower, completely ignoring the stairs that led to the same place. At the very top was an area with no walls and only columns supporting the roof with many areas for potential death. 'I really want to speak with the architect who made this castle because this place is missing some safety regulations.' The demon walked into the middle of the room? I don't know what you would call this, ok. I have never been in a room like this with extensive air quotes on the word room. 'What are you doing?' I was so confused. Is he going to kidnap me? "Be more patient, princess. We'll be there in just a bit." Morium chanted something under his breath I didn't understand.
The moment I blinked, I felt a strong pull and then a nice breeze and the smell of flowers and grass. That's when I noticed we weren't in the tower but on an open hill high in elevation, since all I see is the close-up of the clouds and a beautiful view of the trees. Flowers were spread across the hill ranging in different kinds, and overall this gave me a sense of bliss. 'What a nice place.' Morium set me down, and I laid back on the grass. This grass was much healthier than the one in the castle. Everything here is more vibrant, colorful, and overall pretty. 'I am actually enjoying this.' I refuse to look at his smug face.
