Princess Estelle

Chapter 2

It was three days ago when I met his Majesty in his palace by accident and right now I'm right in front of him eating snacks again. He was silent all the time and kept on looking at me coldly, and here I am breaking sweat colds feeling endangered that any moment if I say something wrong he will ask Felix to kill me. "Scary!!!!" I cried internally. "Papa is always pretty, Telly loves papa." I cheered. And just like what I thought no reaction at all. "Eat your snacks." He said coldly. "Is there nothing else he could tell me, perhaps like I miss you and you look beautiful. Wait this is his Majesty we are speaking I guess that is very impossible for him to say." I sighed. "Don't you like the snacks prepared, should I find another cook and have him executed?" He asked. "What?!!!!!!!!!!!!! you kidding me. How can you be merciless. Not only do I have to protect myself from him but I have to protect others from him too! This is exhausting."  I swear. "Telly loves the food, it is very delicious." I told him. "Is that so, then continue eating." He ordered. I continued eating even if my stomach cannot take it anymore.

After the long long long hour finally I was sent back home. "I've never been this exhausted since before." I grumbled on my own. I went to my bedroom and laid down on my bed, "I wonder if time can move forward fast so I can leave this place and have a peaceful life." I mumbled.

The following days I buried myself in studying some advanced books. History, Ethics, Science anything that my mind finds it interesting I study them. "I'm feeling hungry, should I eat some snacks now?" I told myself.

I sneak out and went to the kitchen and stole some chocolates, "Eating sweets after a long day really makes me feel like in heaven." I smiled. When I'm about to take another bite suddenly someone grabbed my hand. I was surprised that I almost fainted when I found who it was I was finally able to breathe really well. "Lily!" I exclaimed. "Princess, his Majesty would like to meet you." She told me. "Again?" I told myself again internally. "Okay, I'll go see Papa." I smiled. I went back to my room to fix myself and few moments later Felix came and brought me to see his Majesty.

The usual, I had snack with his Majesty and all through out the time I was talking all nonsense just to humor him and without fail no reaction at all. Another day was wasted on his blank reaction and here I am going back to my palace all tired. This continued on until a month already passed. "Princess good afternoon." Felix greeted me. "Felix good afternoon, what are you doing here?" I asked. "His Majesty would like to meet you and have snacks again." He replied. "Again?" I thought to myself. "Okay, I'll meet papa!" I smiled. We went to his chamber and when we were in front of his door, "I think his Majesty is sleeping." Felix realized. "Then why don't we go back to the palace, I don't want to disturb papa in his sleep." I suggested. However I noticed Felix smiled and it gave me a bad feeling, "Why don't you wake his Majesty, I'm very much sure he will be delighted." He suggested. "Are you kidding me?! Wake him up what if I get killed by doing that. I  can't tell whether he is dumb or what." I screamed internally. Without any resistance I was forced to go inside papa's room, as soon as I got inside it surprised me how normal his room looks. Not extravagant. Minimalist. No big furniture except the pure gold frame hanging on his wall, pure gold map of the Obelia Kingdom and picture frame of the previous emperors made of gold. Not extravagant right. I tried to explore more of his room and in there I found a broken frame with a picture in it, a young lady with brown hair and amber eyes. "I wonder who this person is." I mumbled. When I tried to walk more I ended in front of the couch and I exclaimed on what I saw. I saw him sleeping on the couch defenselessly.  "Why is he here? More like why is he sleeping on the couch and not on his bed?!" I screamed internally. "Why are you sleeping defenselessly papa?" I mumbled as I walk silently to him. I stared at him and remembered my past life, "You may not be that man in my previous life but your resemblance to him is very strikingly the same. Although you're just a character in a book that I have read and that I am here in unknown world, still you're my papa..." I paused midway when I found my hand touching his bare face, what more my hand was suddenly grabbed upwards by a half awaken emperor with cold eyes of a beast. "G-good morning, papa." I greeted him. "Oh It's you." He said. "Did you have a bad dream? Should Telly sing you a song that makes the bad dreams disappear?" I asked. "Damn, I should really stop saying embarrassing words." I cursed myself. "It's already afternoon." He said.
