When she came to her senses by the sound of what just happened... Lelia saw her hand holding the doll tightly and Julianna on the floor.

"Ouch, it hurts..."

Julianna frowned and looked down at her palms.

Oh, there was a little scratch on one hand and blood oozed out of it. Lelia went back in front of her.

"Aiya..."

Julianna blew the wind on her palm with a tearful face. She scratched herself on the wooden floor when she fell down.

"Oh, my God! It's bleeding!"

"Are you all right, Julia?"

Cedric and Damien's faces turned pale when they found drops of blood on the floor.

"That's all right, big brothers..."

Julianna spoke cheerfully to calm the two worried people.

"Let's go to the castle now. Climb on my back!"

"That's not the order!" Julianna, who didn't want to get carried, pushed Cedric away, who was showing his back.

Then he rose slowly and approached Lelia, who was frightened by her doll.

"I'm sorry. I was just looking at the doll because it was cute..."

"..."

"But who are you? I think I saw you before." asked Julianna with a curious face. The wrinkleless attitude made Lelia feel strangely shabby.

In fact, Julianna had no intention of stealing the doll, but she felt guilty about being treated like a thief by Lelia.

Besides, she had hurt Julianna anyway.

"..."

It was when Lelia hesitated to answer.

"Who, her? She is the daughter of the woman who tormented my mother." Cedric, whose face was distorted, replied instead.

"What?" Julianna seemed confused by the words, but Damien wrapped his arms around her shoulders.

"Julianna, it's none of your business. She is a vicious devil's blood."

"By the way... why are you here? I was wondering who was staying here... so it was you?" Cedric snorted and looked around. Seeing the well-organised bed, his anger seemed to soar.

He shouted, frowning, "You are the daughter of a murderer, who killed my mother, and you are eating and sleeping comfortably?! Isn't it too unfair?"

"And you were trying to hurt her? Do you have any idea what punishment it would be to harm the Imperial Princess?" Cedric and Damien walked slowly towards Lelia.

Even though they were still young, the two were much taller than Lelia. It felt intimidating enough for Lelia.

"..."

Lelia seemed to be blank in her head.

Rather than the hurtful words of those children, there was a sense of anxiety that this space might be taken away.

And it was as expected.

"Anyway, this is ours from today. I'm gonna fix it to a place where I can see constellations! I'm going to give it to Julianna for her birthday present. So you get out of here right now!"

Cedric raised his chin and commanded.

When Julianna was about to step up, Damien stopped her and said, "Wait, you can't go out yet. You didn't apologize to her, did you? You dare to treat the Imperial's princess like a thief and hurt her?"
