The Only Daughter of the Tyrant - Chapter 5

I became embarrassingly urgent.

“I’m sorry, but I didn’t cheat you. I didn’t know they’d follow me. I’m telling you.”

But his sword was determined.

Sweat ran down my back.

He was wasting his life.

“Kill them all!”

“Men!”

Dozens of voices were heard in his harsh voice.

I forgot that his men had been watching us there more.

He was only looking at me while his men were giving looks of no mercy toward the prince’s party.

It was just a pity to see the look that seemed to reproach myself for believing in me for a moment.

I never thought I should stop his sword even though he attacked me coldly.

I just wanted to explain to him.

I don’t know why, but I didn’t want to misunderstand.

His sword roared violently and blood gushed from my body.

His sword brutally cut through my waist and gut spilled on a deep sword.

Only then did he seem to think something was strange.

Having shared the sword with me so far, he would have known that I would have been able to avoid his attack.

“…Why!”

He came running towards me.

I felt sorry for the embarrassment on his face.

It’s not his fault.

It would have been natural for him to doubt me.

I was going to say it’s okay, but my mouth was spewing blood.

The sound was buried there.

“Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! My hands are splashed with blood!”

Eileen’s scream hit my ear.

“Well, Your Highness…”

The sound of someone collapsing and the sound of the colorful noise touching each other was clearly heard. (I’m taking lots of liberties with this sentence. I’m sorry… it’s just past my ability{might be the sound of a cow wailing?})

“Stiana, help Eileen right now. Come on. Come on! Isn’t Eileen down!”

The prince cried out.

Foolishly.

I burst out into laughter.

Death would break the pledge of sworn loyalty to the prince.

It should have been so long ago, a long time ago.

I couldn’t shake off the thought that my men had died because of my lingering attachment.

“Stiana, get up! I’m telling you to stand up and stop it!! Knights protect me! Come here and protect me!”

Behind his tearful cry, there were screams of knights and the sound of them falling.

His men knocked down all the others, leaving only the prince and Eileen alone.

Prince Moenfis shrieked and screamed when he realized that no one could protect him.

Then he spat out a meaningless order.

When I passed the mountain gate, I must have thought I won by looking at people who have lost several places.

So I would have gone back and forth and walked around.

At the moment of victory, I thought I should be there.

The hasty and foolish judgment finally got him into a corner.

The bandit lord waved the wind from his hand at him.

Killing the prince seemed to mean nothing to him.

With a bored expression that looked like killing an ant, he took the prince’s breath away.

He just couldn’t stand the prince making noise.

Soon the prince was silenced and Eileen’s scream was no longer heard.

I was confused for a moment whether they were dead or I was dead.

I felt that the world around me was slowly losing light and sound.

But I still had work to do.

The last thing that came into my slowly closing eyes was the man who killed me.

He seemed to have belatedly realized that this was not my work.

“Do me a favor, please. My men.”

Kulleog-

A handful of blood was vomited.

“I’ll save you, Stiana Izbern. It’s been a long time since I had fun.”

The anger subsided in his eyes.

Looking at me dying, I laughed heartily at what I said.

I feel better now.

‘Ren. Meet someone nice. And never have to ever put a bandage on your colleague again.’

I remembered my noisy and smiling subordinates.

‘Everyone live happily. While laughing a lot. I’ll take on all the misfortune.’

The unbearable pain hit me.

However it didn’t take long to be caught up in the terrible pain.

He seemed to try to cure me, but in the end he seemed to realize it was impossible.

The pain gradually spread and he touched my forehead with his hand.

His hands were unbelievably soft and warm.

“I’ll remember you. Stiana Izbern. You were a good opponent.” (TLN: it says something more like a good test, but calling her a test didn’t read well.)

I burst out into laughter.

Blood splattered with my feeble laugh.

He called me a good opponent.

Ha…

While heavy breaths were leaving my lips, a satisfactory smile appeared on my face.

At last I fell into a deep sleep ending my life.

***

And it happened. (Ahhh finally!!!)

I was scared because it was so vivid that I didn’t know which one was a dream.

The smell of a baby was so vivid.

“Oh, my Stiana, were you scared you couldn’t see your brother?”

I heard a different voice somewhere and a small hand came in and stroked my cheek.

There seemed to be little difference between my hand size and theirs.

‘Ha… I think tears will come out.’

It was the same that I couldn’t see his face well.

He didn’t hide his height or sat down, and he seemed to be standing with his best efforts, but his face was not tall enough to make it up to the crib.

The hand on my cheek smelled like a baby.

I turned my head to see the owner of the hand and got hit in the face by the fist.

“Heez! Stiana. Don’t cry. Don’t cry. Are you going to tell your father?”

As the child cried and spoke, the child next to him heard a soothing sound.

“My Stiana doesn’t cry. Did you see Stiana cry?”

“No.”

“But I saw the prince hit Stiana.”

Some low-pitched voice interrupted the children’s cute voices.

Prince? Did you just say Prince?

I turned my head and looked at the man who seemed to be the peak of this country.

It was a handsome man with a colorful crown on his head. A dark blonde with blue eyes that shine like jewels.

When I spoke to the children a little while ago, an incredibly scary force was emitted, and the moment I met with eyes, his eyes bent like a crescent moon.

His eyes disappeared from the laughter.

“Oh, my. My princess. Did you wake up to see your dad?”

“It happened before my father came.”

The child spoke firmly.

“So did you punch her to sleep well?”

“I was going to pet her because she was pretty, but she turned her head and it happened. And Stiana didn’t even cry. I would have cried if I was sick.”

“Stiana doesn’t cry even if she’s sick.”

They made the little talk serious.

I just wanted to know what was happening now.

Prince? Princess?

The only princes I know are the two golden wolves of the Estion Empire.

I rolled my eyes with a puzzled expression.

At that time, two children’s bright blond hair showed their presence.

‘No way. Those wolves are not this young.’

“Daddy, this bed is too high. Wouldn’t Stiana hurt herself if she fell?”

“It’s okay because I’ve put the railing up.”

“You’re too much. You purposely made the bed this high so that we can’t see it.”

“That’s right. You’re smart, as fitting a descendant of Marinheir.”

He spoke without denying it.

Wait a minute. Marinheir?

I came to my senses.

And my body was lifted into the air.

The emperor’s two hands came under my arms and lifted me up absurdly simple.

“Ah ah ah. My brother…!”

I saw the faces of two children as I was raised up high.

They’re… The princes?

The children looked at my face and were smiling with their mouths open.

He had a face that I wanted to say he was pretty and that he was going to die, and he was showing his respect for me with his whole body, holding his hands tightly together and jumping on the spot.

“Hey, you should see your dad. Dad. What would I do if I saw my brothers who couldn’t eat anything? Stiana.”

I looked at the man in front of me, listening to the sound of a cave ringing.

He seemed to expect me to smile, but how can he expect me to laugh in this situation?

“Oh, pretty. Our Stiana has beautiful feet, too.”

The twins tugged at my feet, which deepened my agony.

‘Should I cry once? Then will these people stop bothering me?’

“Stiana. My lovely princess. I’ll take over the Continental Kingdom one by one on every birthday of yours.”

He said, rubbing his rough face against my face.

It was so hard to put up with it that I tried to tell him not to do it, but there was nothing but a feeble voice.

“Hueeng…”

‘Huh…?’

The shock I received was really great at that time.

I suppose.

Now I can’t even speak.

I had no idea how this had happened.

“Daddy, why don’t you put her down because Styana doesn’t seem to like you.”

These princes seemed to have a good conviction.

However, the emperor was not daunted at all.

He was busy hugging and smiling myself.

“Don’t you have to attend a political meeting?”

“Don’t you think your Majesty should be a model first? I don’t think other people are here because they want to, but would it be a shame if you were to leave out the political meeting?”

The children said everything they could because they wanted to see my face up close.

It seemed almost that I had put my life on the line.

“Those who think of living in the example of others are not needed in the Estion Empire. Why are you taking my example? And I decided not to attend the political meeting today. They’ll have a meeting among themselves since we’ve given them an agenda. Without me, I can conveniently express my opinions and have a meeting. I am afraid and I cannot properly cope with it.”

“Isn’t that your father’s idea? Maybe they’re just playing with each other because he’s not here, so why don’t you go and see him?”

“It’s all right.”

When the emperor spoke so firmly, the princes were visibly discouraged and the emperor seemed to be very happy to see them.

It seemed there were no adults, but three children seemed to be standing side by side.

They sooooo cute such a ‘loving’ family lol
