Why Are You So Obsessed With Rejecting Affection?

But instead, the eyes of the nobles staring at me stung more, so I rubbed my cheeks and continued speaking.

It doesnt look like a cat now as you can see, but it was a somewhat big cat when I found it. It just turned into a monster with some kind of trick.

A created monster? Who dares to do such a thing!

The Emperor burst into anger with an indignant face when he realized that it was an artificial being.

That was also what I wanted to know. So after subduing it, I told it to go and attack the owner who had given it the power.

Of course he already thought that it was the work of a bad person, so the Emperors expression hardened when I spoke with confidence.

Do you know what you are talking about?

I looked at the slightly tired face of the Emperor and replied, Someone here was trying to attack the Grand Duchy.

Without the Emperors approval, it violated the proclaimed territorial law. Moreover, sending a monster to attack without the declaration of war was a great sin. In addition to that, it was big trouble as it wasnt an attack on the Grand Duchy, but on a private house.

Your Majesty, the Grand Duchy has already captured all the criminals involved. Upon interrogation, it turned out that the purpose of the attack was to confuse the Grand Duchy.

As if to back up my answer, the Grand Duke came forward and explained that there were witnesses.

Everyone here must have realized how big the damage would be when a monster was in its aggressive state and attacked a private residence. Words of disbelief and sighs were buzzing here and there.

I glanced at the Empress and Azuela. How does it feel when you meet here the seed you have sown?

You were terrified and turned blue.

Azuelas face showed tiredness and looked like she wanted to leave immediately.

And thats why you shouldnt have touched the Grand Dukes family.

It doesnt matter whether Azuela becomes more famous or loved by everyone, but I had no intention of forgiving her for touching the Grand Dukes family and me. The Empress expressionless face remained unchanged, as if telling her age. It would be strange for her to laugh in a situation like this, so it seemed she was intentionally keeping her expressionless face.

I cannot forgive someone who tried to ruthlessly kill the Empires subjects!

I just wish for them to be punished.

The Grand Duke bowed his head and agreed when the Emperor got angry. Their opinions seemed to be in harmony when it came to the matter of intent to kill the Empires subjects, no matter how much they were openly hostile with each other.

But, its weird.

Huh?

I mumbled, so the Emperor bowed his head and focused to hear me better. I clasped my hands tightly as I looked into the Emperors eyes, and said cautiously, About that I have been watching all the time, but that child only reacts toward the Imperial Princess.

The Emperor reflexively looked toward Azuela as soon as I finished speaking. And at Miya, too, who was standing tall in front of her.

Miya had always looked directly at Azuela and reacted since appearing here. She forgot her surroundings and was only bent on attacking Azuela.

Come to think of it. The Emperor frowned and glared at Azuela.

Wh-why are you looking at m-me like that?

Its probably because youre frightened, right? Azuela jumped up showing a look of being unfair, then she glanced at Miya and tried to move in the Emperors direction.

Meeeooooow!

Miya slammed her tail with a dissatisfied face and screamed. The eyes glaring at Azuela were still terrible.

I think Ill have to put a ribbon on her back soon.

Looking at this difficult atmosphere I watched Azuelas movements, thinking that I should release Miya when the situation is roughly settled.

How can you think of me like that, Father Emperor? Do you believe that? How can the Grand Princess who cant even hold a sword subdue a magical beast?

Azuela appealed to the Emperor, her face dripping thick with tears. Then the nobles around also said, Her Highness words are also true! It was a lot of fun because it seemed I had become a liar.

Azuela might not have noticed, but she just made a big mistake. I pulled the Grand Dukes sleeve and tilted my head.

Dad, how did the Imperial Princess know that Miya was a magical beast? I didnt tell anyone that she was made with magical power though.

I deliberately called Miya a monster instead of a magical beast, but I didnt know it would fit well. But since I called it a monster, it was because I already said I found it in the Monsters Forest. However, monsters and magical beasts were different beings.

Monsters in the Monsters Forest were at odds with nature. They were deliberately subdued, as their own existence will harm the spiritual power. On the other hand, a magical beast refers to a creature made with magical power and is completely different from a monster even though making magical beasts was forbidden.

Azuela, what happened?

The Emperor had been listening to me carefully and asked Azuela, and she bit her lip then shook her head.

I really have no idea! I just did it because it felt like magic!

You felt it? Ummm

Feeling, feeling it is good. I tilted my head as I asked Azuela. As if I were teasing her, Azuela trembled.

Wow, come to think of it, I can feel the same energy with the Imperial Princess and Miya! I opened my eyes wide and shouted loudly as if I only realized it now.

Then, Azuela looked at me with clasped hands and eyes drenched with tears, Why does the Grand Princess want to attack me like this? This is seriously the first time Ive seen this!

Azuelas face as she protested looked utterly unfair.

Her seeing it for the first time might be true, so her words must have been mixed with sincerity. But still, this was a matter of Azuela using her energy, and theres no way the Empress did everything alone. I was sure that Azuela also knew this.

Stop, this is rudeness that I cant bear to watch anymore. Grand Princess is insulting the Imperial Princess right now.

The Empress finally stepped forward and stared at me.

It was the first time we met face-to-face in such a situation the very person who plundered Shuelinas life was gorgeous and beautiful like poison.

I sensed my body was about to tremble just like the first time I met Azuela, but I controlled it.

This body reaction is nothing. I can overcome it.

Taking a deep breath in my mind and looking at the Empress properly, I noticed that her lips were slightly distorted.

The Empress and Azuela were the people who can manage their facial expressions best in the original novel.

Born with a greater noble dignity than anyone else, the Empress was a person who committed evil with a calm face. This was because she was a perfectionist who couldnt allow even the slightest distortion (of her expression).

So something must have been boiling inside her.

I was just saying what I saw and felt I lowered my head slightly and said in a weeping voice.

Azuela wasnt the only one who could use the form of a child. This will look like the Empress was persecuting me as I appear younger than Azuela. It would be an unwanted scene for an Empress who pretended to be fair and gorgeous in any way.

However, by what power does Grand Princess think they (Azuela and Miya) have the same energy? You were too young to learn anything.

Wait, I can guarantee this childs ability.

The Emperor stepped up to protect me when the Empress said something that seemed reasonable at first glance.

I reflexively looked at the Emperor. He placed his hand on my shoulder as if to protect me from the stinging glare of the Empress and nobility.

If he doesnt believe me, then His Majesty wouldnt be looking at me, right? I looked up at the Emperor and suggested.

He would be able to read the spiritual energy, so he would be able to tell them apart. Azuela and the Empress wont be able to say anything at that point, but Azuela suddenly fell to her knees and began to cry profusely.

Yes, I did it because I wanted to present Father Emperor a strong animal to ride and made a mistake!

Azuela was obviously confessing her mistakes, but only looked pitiful yet pretty even when she was in tears.

Azuela explained that it was only created in the Monsters Forest by requesting the tower for an experiment, and she didnt have the intention to harm a private house. She claimed that the wizard was drunk on making the magical beast, that he had done it arbitrarily, and that she didnt know anything about it.

I didnt know that it was forbidden to make magical beasts. My apologies, Father Emperor. But.

She used the fact that she was a child to try to escape from the situation like a loach. Quickly drenched in tears so fast that I was afraid shed be worn out anytime, Azuela protested to the Emperor with an anguished expression on her face.

But as a result, dont you know that it was trying to harm me? The order to kill the master almost killed me.

Azuela looked up at the Emperor with a pale face, saying that her heart was pounding because she was scared just thinking about that moment.

So in the end, she was asking the Emperor to punish me for having dared to assassinate the Imperial Family. Death was the customary penalty for the crime of killing the Imperial Family. Azuela was begging her father to kill another familys daughter because she nearly died.

I am sure she said it like that because she thought the Emperor didnt know.

I lightly sighed as I watched the Emperors face tinged with disappointment every passing minute. It was a good thing that Azuelas position in the Emperors heart was getting smaller, but it somehow felt bad.

I cannot accept it and I dont want to, but I dont want to see him disappointed with his daughter.

People were arguing whether or not I had committed the crime of murdering the Imperial Family. I sighed quietly and stared at her.

Who would have thought that the imperial Family would create a magical beast? Even the fact that the six-year-old Imperial Princess has a deep understanding of magic.

It was the Grand Duke who put an end to this absurd situation. He grabbed me and kissed me lightly.

It was unintentional and she didnt die, but if we were to apply the crime of assassination, then what kind of crime should be applied on the case of nearly inflicting great damage to the Grand Duchy?

Grand Duke! How dare you!

The Empress trembled as she looked at the Grand Duke. It was fair to say, but it was shameless of her to get angry.

Many people would have horribly died if that magical beast was released into the Grand Duchy.

The Grand Duke patted me and hugged me so I couldnt see peoples eyes. Wrapped in his arms, I could hear the shouts come and go several times.

Stop! Azuela, the Grand Duke also has a point. And for whatever reason, it was a very rash act of you as a member of the Imperial Family. You will be given a confinement order.

Father Emperor!

Confinement order of an Imperial Family member was a great disgrace. Azuela, who suddenly couldnt leave her room and was told to reflect on herself, cried aloud like a child. Azuela forgot to cry prettily and cried like a child.

Miya.

In the meantime, I could feel the neglected Miya was confused. She was waving her tail anxiously. I felt sorry for Miya, who was sitting still obediently because I told her to stop.

Miya, run away again.

I whispered softly, so that only Miya, who had good hearing, could hear it. Then Miya jumped up over the people, ran to the wall, and started climbing over the ceiling.

Meooooooooow!

It was then that the problem arose.

Miya was trying to escape through the hole in the ceiling of the temple but was thrown off by the spiritual power shield!! It seemed that it was because she could break in from the outside, but couldnt go out from the inside until the event was over.

No!

It would be a complete chaos if the large Miya was to fall. What I wanted was a play that would reduce Azuelas image, and not have people crushed to death.

I have to make a net to wrap everyone in!

(T/N: me to Azuela: [insert meme the being is fictional, my anger is real]
