The Tyrant’s Beloved Doll

Chapter 38

At the end, Sezh couldn’t eat her medicine.

By all means, in her desperation. Luna didn’t give up that easily to feed her the medicine. She struggled everything up to make her open her mouth. She even put the spoon that contained the medicine in front of Sezh’s mouth. But Sezh’s mouth was really sealed by magic. Her attempts were futile.

Luna, who had been contemplated for long. Proposed her idea.

‘Princess, what if we try to consume it with your nose?’

That was the thing that she already predicted, but that is torturation. It wouldn’t help anything but rather kill her instead!

Fortunately, Luna was very weak in her battle with Sezh, so she was unable to torture her. Of course Luna still would adore it more if Sezh ate the medicine and said she wasn’t comfortable with just watching Sezh like this. But of course Sezh thinks she will die first by the difficulties of breathing before she can even digest the medicine perfectly.

Luna seemed to have no interest in leaving her that night. It looks like Luna will accompany her the whole night. Sezh stood up hard. Then she wrote a long text on the paper.

• Luna, I’m so grateful that you’re worried about me this much, you have a hard time too, but if you do it like this, I really don’t like it … If Luna gets sick. I will be mad and faint.

Also known as ‘Just get out of this room.’

Nevertheless, Luna was not that easy. She even cried once again.

‘Princess is in this shape. How could I just sleep relaxingly? Okay? Just let me be by your side, Princess. I am so worried about you…’Sezh was able to sent Luna back only after she had written exactly seven long texts, of course extra sheets of paper needed.

There was just for one intention that Sezh sent Luna back. When night goes deeper and no one is roaming around, she would go to one destination. Where? Eton’s place.

The one who made her like this is Eton. He must be able to fix it. It seems if she doesn’t ask Eton to release this magic, she will live like that for the rest of her life. And then in the future she will die by someone cut off her throat. Sezh didn’t have any slightest idea to die like that again.

Finally it was the time, precisely a few hours before dawn. Sezh sneaked out from her palace around 3 in the morning.

Fortunately, Sezh successfully did her mission to go to Lady Lize’s Palace undetected by Luna. Obviously, she didn’t went with the front door. She entered the alternative path that Raytan let her know before. Sezh then passed through the cramped doghole. Now, the familiar hallway was spotted by her. That’s the hallway where Eton’s room exists.

Sezh ran swiftly. When she reached the door, she knocked it in a brutal manner.

‘Knock Knock Knock!”

“Come in.”

Oh, he’s really there. As soon as Sezh heard Eton’s voice, she grabbed the doorknob and opened it impatiently. After that, she saw Eton who was sitting in the chair.

“Good night, Sezh?”

“… “

“Don’t you have to attend the tutoring in the morning?”

Tutoring my ass. Because of who I’m wandering around in this late of night. Sezh stomped her feet.

“Eub eub eub eub!”

“Hum?”

“Eub eub eub!”

Eton’s eyes widened. He then started laughing out loud. Definitely resemble a crazy person. What in the world she had to meet this kind of person? Sezh who was dumbfounded raced her body toward him then pointing her mouth and mimicked ‘Hurry explain this!’

“Eub eub! Eub ub ub? Eub eub!”

“PUHAHAHAHAHA”

“Eue ub!”

Ugh, don’t laugh! You really.

“Ah really. You… You’re really funny.”

Even there were tears in his eyes because of the laugh. What’s funny! Sezh punched her fist like a cotton bat at Eton’s shoulder.

“Hey, hey don’t get upset. Calm down.”

You think I can calm down now?

“I’ll fix it. I will- Puff… “

Eton who was still trying to alleviate his laugh bowed his head down. Even his ears turned red, Sezh are so determined that he would die from laughing. Sezh, who was very upset put her most deadly glare on him.

“…”

Finally after took some time for laughing, Eton looked back at Sezh again.

“I think you’re already swearing at me endlessly behind your mouth.”

“Eub Ub!”

“I’ll release it now…”

Eton lifted his hand. As soon as the large hand of him wanted to reach her face. Sezh flinched and took a step back. Didn’t she clearly see it before? That Eton could manifest fire with his hands. She didn’t know exactly what Eton was trying to do to her …

“I won’t burn you.”

“…”

“Hurry up. I will release it. You want to live in that condition forever? Oh, if you want that I’ll just leave it.”

Undoubtedly she never had a vision to do so. While trying to swallow her dried saliva, Sezh came closer to him.

“Stay still.”

Eton’s large hand touched her face. To be precise, her mouth. In a wink, she felt something warm there. Eton took his hand off.

“See. Are you okay now?”

“Heuk.”

Sezh took a deep breath then tapping her mouth. Her mouth can be opened now. It’s like it was always in that form before.

“This. What did you just do to me?!”

“What? I fixed it.”

“Uncle!”

“It’s not Uncle but Brother.”

“Brother, what kind of brother huh!”

“Oh so you’re so angry right now.”

Eton shrugged, definitely unbothered. How can her lips get sealed like that and she’s not angry! When Sezh was about to pour more of her complaint, Eton intervened by declaring.

“But you broke your promise, Sezh…”

“B-but I.”

“I clearly said it. It will be better if you keep your promise. Don’t you remember?”

“Then you’re supposed to be grateful not upset. If this other person not you. I definitely wouldn’t even release it.”

“… If you really don’t release it. What would it be… Do I can’t ever open my lips?”

“Die by starving or you just straightly die?”

“…”

“But it’s not my concern at all, right?”

Eton laughed. That laugh… somehow felt a little scary. How can you laugh while mentioning something like that?

“Are you still angry?”

No matter how, this is really an annoying situation. She even couldn’t be more angry after hearing that. Sezh made a small sound in her reply.

“… Yes.”

“Right. Be careful next time. Keep this secret, I’m not telling you to leak it out.”

“…”

“By the way, who are you trying to tell?”

“My brother…”

“Ah, that Brother Raytan, right?”

“Yes.”

“Hm.”

Eton tapped his chin.

“You really like your brother that much? When I gave you my offer to teach you the Kazaki language you also said it. That you really like your brother.”

“You’re right. What…”

She’s not like him that much but… It’s not wrong too at the same time. However she doesn’t hate Raytan but it’s true that she enjoys learning Kazaki with him.

“But it seems that your brother’s daily life at the Imperial Palace is not pleasant. There is a legend right? The legend that is passed down by generations”

“There’s something like that, but… “

“Exactly what kind of legend is that?”

‘There is a legend right.’ She didn’t understand what was inside his head. How did he know about that? Sezh squinted her eyes. If he is one of the Imperial people. No, If he really is, he will certainly know about that legend. Sezh was still puzzled about that but decided to explain it to him.

“Black stranded hair like a night. A fresh blood crimson eyes. It belongs to a monster that will ruin anything in the Empire.”

“Hmm.”

“Something like that.”

“… Right. So it’s like that.”

Eton grinned. After switching his expression back, he asked Sezh.

“Then do you see your brother in that way too?”

“That… What do you mean?”

“That your brother is like a monster from the legend. If you mention it. The Imperial Family of Delhender are blonde, right? Like you, Sezh.”

“…”

“What do you think? That Raytan boy, does he like a monster that will ruin everything that existed in the Empire?”

Sezh couldn’t answer anything. Frankly speaking, maybe it could be like that. It’s because of the future that she already witnessed. But there’s no assurance that the future would not change. After a while, Sezh opened her mouth hesitantly.

“I don’t know. But the thing about Brother having a hard time at The Imperial Palace. It is true… “

“… I see.”

Eton tilted his head.

“Because of that legend, he even got that kind of name… People hate and avoid him… Brother really suffered a lot.”

“Got that kind of name. What does ‘Raytan’ mean?”

“That… A cursed person?”

“A cursed person… “

Eton murmured.

“Originally, it’s not like that.”

“Huh? Then… “

“What. What can we do. Time passed so quickly.”

“What do you mean by originally?”

Eton didn’t answer. He just smiled quietly then changed the topic.

“I think it will be better if you go home now.”

“Ah, yes. But… “

‘Even if you didn’t say that, I was about to go.’

Sezh whispered inside her head. After all of this, it was conspicuous that he hid something out. Well, let’s just ask later, Sezh, who was exhausted enough, soon stood up.

“Hurry and leave. It’s already spring but the night air is still cold. It’s not good if you get a fever.”

“I thought you can’t worry about someone, especially if they’re mouth are sealed”

Sezh uttered with her plump face. It was quite fierce. Eton then reacted like he was just scolded and said.

“That’s right. Now leave. See you tomorrow.”

“Tomorrow… I think I can’t visit you.”

“Hum? Why?”

“Luna worried a lot. I think I need to rest for a few days… No, do I have to visit and talk to you every day after that?

“Isn’t it supposed to be like that?”

“No, I…”

Sezh stopped. Despite of Eton’s words that said he was able to teach her magic. For some reason she just has a feeling that it will be dangerous to be kept hooked up with him. No, actually it already looked that dangerous in the first place. Incident that happened today was the proof. Her healthy fine lips suddenly couldn’t be opened!

“Then I hope you rest well. For the time being, I will stay here.”

Eton replied in a trivial manner.

“You’re not going home? So you really live here? Why?”

“There’s something that appeared interesting.”

“Huh?”

“You will figure it out later. Now leave.”

She didn’t understand anything. Let’s just go back to her palace then. Sezh nodded her little head. She ambled over her feet to the door.

“…”

When she was reaching the doorknob, she turned her head once again to Eton.

“Uncle.”

“I told you to call me ‘Brother’.”

“Who are you really? What is your name? Where do you come from?”

“Eton.”“That’s not the real one.”

“I didn’t make it up at all.”

“Okay. Then where do you come from?”

Eton was voiceless for a while. What he’s been thinking so earnestly. He then responded in a low voice.

“I didn’t come from anywhere.”“Huh?”

“I’m always here. From a long longtime ago.”

… Maybe he is the prisoner that was sentenced to death? Sezh’s face went dread.

“Kay. Now go. The night has almost ended than you think. It’s morning soon in the blink of eye.”

It was a fresh smile on Eton’s face. Sezh stared at him for a while then left the room.
