Chapter 44

I sighed as I watched the bloody confrontation of between the two of them.

These guys Can't they just make up and move on?'

I thought I was wasting time by making them reconcile by themselves, so I decided to take the extreme measure: I boiled my knees.

I think it's better to have visual effects than to stand and beg.

It's still carpeted, and it's worth boiling.'

That's when I thought so, Max spoke up.

Juvellian, I am the one who should apologize! I frowned at Max's hurried words.

Max, I

Get up.

So, now.

Come on!

Because I will apologize! I was so moved to see him keep telling me to get up. I have an important matter to tell my father now I heard my father's voice above my head.

Okay, first get up and talk to me. Suddenly, I wondered at the sight of the two getting along so well.

What's wrong with them?'

I was embarrassed for a moment, but I remembered that I had not achieved my intended purpose yet.

It's too early to let your guard down, because your father didn't accept his apology.'

My immediate goal is to withdraw the scandal. Instead of getting up, I answered, shaking my head.

Father, it's my fault if Max is being rude now. So please forgive me Even before my words were over, my father nodded.

Yes, I forgive you. So get up.

Em, this easy?'

Somehow, I was looking at my father. Max reached out his hand to me.

Now, I took that hand, and I felt his warmth. He raised me up, and then he wrapped himself around my shoulder.

What a strange feeling.' He used to be someone who was cold towards me when I first met him. To think he would reach out like this.'

My father said coldly when I stared blankly at my hand.

But that doesn't mean I allowed you two dating, I sighed at the determined voice.

Yes, it can't be easy.'

Regis stared at his daughter in sorrow.

It's my fault.'

He was in a situation where he couldn't give her the love she deserved even if he wanted to. Nevertheless, Regis wanted to do everything she wanted but there was something untenable in the present situation.

You can choose whoever you want. Whoever but him, though.'

A Prince who is distrusted by his father, the Emperor. Max's situation was like a candle in the wind.

The majority of aristocrats were distrustful of the Crown Prince based on malicious rumors, and Empress, who took control of the Senate, was sending an assassin to Max while manipulating public opinion in the Empire.

The Crown Prince is a tyrant with no blood or tears, who only sees our troops as chess piece. The rumors started a long time ago, but the disciple really became as cold-blooded as the rumors.

At first, as a teacher, he thought about the debt owed to the Previous Empress (Tn; Max's mom) and tried to educate the disciple again and again. But what came back was only cynicism.
