After confirming that no one was following us at the Imperial Palace anymore, my dad put me down next to him.

“Bebe.”

“Yes?”

“Aren’t you sad that your father didn’t even punish the person who did bad things?”

At that, he turned his head away.

“No! Both of you must have an idea!”

“That’s true. To be honest, in my heart, I wanted to do the same thing to the Emperor who bullied Bebe and Adele. I’m going crazy thinking about it, but for now, saving Adele is a priority.”

My dad, who was furious, said that as if he had just forgotten the atmosphere. He showed a ferocious look, as if he were going to make a mistake right away.

The clenched fist turned white, as if blood wasn’t circulating. I felt something strange about my dad, who was mad, as if he was going to get into trouble.

“Yes! But Dad, you talked to the Emperor?’

“Huh?”

“I don’t think I told you… but how do you know so well?”

I remembered him speaking roughly, but my dad was angry, as if he knew him very well.

“Huh…?”

Dad’s face, who had been talking with clenched fists, hardened in an instant. Then he rolled his eyes, like he was hiding something.

“Well anyway, the Emperor will hold himself back.”

“Huh? So he acknowledged me? But he didn’t lock me up.”

“The acknowledgement has destroyed the reason for taking you and Adele with me later.”

“Huh?”

I just shook my head and smiled at the words I couldn’t understand.

“It would’ve been different if he had committed any crime or put you in the palance for a reason, but since he said it himself, the bond between you and Adele has disappeared.”

“Ah…”

“The present emperor was always a stupid man. That’s why he couldn’t become the emperor even though he was older. It’s just that the Grand Duke’s child he saw in front of him was kidnapped by him, so he’s figuring out that things might turn around.”

“That means…”

“It’s a good thing. Don’t worry, Bebe.”

If you’re right, you’re right.

It’s a good thing if my dad says good things.

My dad loves my mom and I more than anyone else.

“Okay!”

“Yes, it must have been hard to go there. Take a nap, Bebe. When you wake up, the High Priest will be home to save your mom.”

“Really?’

“Yes, so go to sleep. Aren’t you sleepy?”

It wasn’t that, but I was relaxed, so I fell asleep as soon as I was in the carriage. How did he notice that? My dad patted my head with his large hand.

Perhaps because of the thought that I had been to the Imperial Palace safely, but I fell asleep not long after.

I opened my eyes again when I heard an unusually loud noise. It was warm and soft as if it were in my dad’s arms, but the sound around was different.

“Who the hell are you doing this to me?!”

Someone’s voice sounded angry. At the sound of that voice, I rubbed my eyes and lited my head. Then I saw when we arrived and we came up in the room, where my mom was lying.

There was a person in the middle of the room that I hadn’t seen before.

It was a man in pure white with a strange thing on his head.

“What? Can you kidnap me like this?”

In the meantime, the man on his knees shouted out loud, whether he was awake or angry. However, my father did not back down at all at the man’s words. Instead, he answered in a firmer voice.

“It’s working.”
“Do you know who I am? I am the High Priest! If you do this, God will be angry!”
“I’m not afraid of God, who never responded when I was so desperate.”

In the meantime, my dad turned his head and looked at me, as if he knew I had woke up. I scratched my head while staring at my dad.

“Daddy, isn’t this illegal? Can you kidnap him like this?”

I said it out of concern, but my father was confident.
“It depends on how you think. This is not illegal. It’s legal in my territory.”

“Oh! I see.”

“U-Ugh…”

In the meantime, Dad approached the man and removed the thing on his head at once.

“Ugh…”

“From now on, you have work to do. Save the woman lying in the bed. If you save her, you will live too, and if you make it worse, you will die too.”

“Oh my God… Your Highness?”

Maybe he noticed my dad belatedly, but the man who was close to the old man bowed his head with a pale face.
