Who Made Me a Princess
chapter-34-30041322

I couldn't help bus glimpse at the gems here as the gems in Ruby palace were all small and cute but gems here were big and elegant. Ah, I almost drooled. Better be careful

"Princess?"

"Hmm."

Don't separate me from those beauties! Sob. I wish I had even just one of them.

I felt someone coming closer to me so I pulled on that person's cloth. I did that without thinking as I was staring at the gem, and it was a signal I did to Felix telling to pick me up.

But Felix didn't hold me up right away. Ah right. We were going for a walk? Then I should walk with Claude.

"Dad...."

I was going to say 'Daddy and Atti will walk together!'. However when I lifted my head, I was shocked st what I was seeing.

"Eh."

Claude why are you here? Qhere is Felix?

(For those who doesn't understand the situation: Atti pulled someone's cloth thinking it was Felix to pick her up. However, she grabbed Claude's clothes instead.)

I tried to find Felix but he was far over there. Why are you so far away? I thought it was you who was close to me!

Now that I see it, I think Claude was going to walk pass by me. Because the door was located on the back. Ack! Did I just pulled a person's cloth without knowing the owner of it?

"What do you want?"

I was speechless. But Felix who was watching from a far spoke the words that was a bomb to me.

"It means to hold her."

No! Its not!

"Hold?"

"Yes. Princess does that to me too when she is tired of walking."

I did that because it was you! If I knew it was Claude, I wouldn't have!

I felt danger when Claude looked down at me again hearing Felix's words.

"No. Its because there was something on daddy's cl.... Wahh!"

Ugh! Wait my stomach! I struggled when he picked me up so suddenly.

And he started to hold me as if he was holding a bag of stuffs. When I struggled in uncomfortable position, Claude made a 'tsk' sound.

"You can't even stay still. You are heavy enough."

An anger mark appeared on my face.

I am in an uncomfortable position! I could see my own dress and shoes in this position without even moving my face. Because I'm folded like a folder! Is it all when you're co fortable? Huh, huh?

"Your majesty, princess will be uncomfortable if you hold her like that."

"What do you mean? She's not walking."

Claude seemed to not understand Felix. I tried my best to show what I qas feeling right now.

"C-Can't breathe.... Gasp."

All my blood is rushing up to my head. I reached my hands for Felix with teary eyes.

"You hold ber like this."

Felix was able to hold me without difficulty as he was now used to it.

I cannot believe he was the one who couldn't carry me well at our first meeting. Yeah, so can't you just hold me?!

"Just like this."

No, please don't! Don't send me away to Claude! Wahh. I hugged Felix tighter.

"P-princess."

Felis seemed to panic a little but no choice. I don't like how he holds me or want to be close to me either. I don't even want to imagine! No, I don't wanna!

"His majesty is waiti─?"

"I'll just go with Felix like this."

I looked up with desperation in my eyes. Felix seemed to think for a while. But he seemed to be happy and tried to hide his smile. He cleared his throat then spoke.

"Clears throat. No choice since princess wants me to hold her."

"...."

"We should go your majesty. We will follow back."

Yeah yeah. Lets go. I'm good in Felix's arms now! So you stop babbling stuff to Claude either.

But Claude didn't move at all. I started to become worried. Why is he like that? I'm telling you that you don't need to hold me.

And I had to fear at his next words.

"I'll hold."

WHAT! WHY!

"This is nothing. Thought you had some special techniques but I guess not."

Oof. Is it for your pride? Anyways that is your problem! I don't wanna.

"Atti just."

"So. You dislike being held by me?"

"Ehehe."

Wahh. I couldn't do anything. I smiled telling him this is a misunderstanding. I've been picky these days, right? I won't anymore. I just forgot you were the bast*rd who could change your mind and kill me any time. Sob.

I had to be held by Claude in the end. But look. See? Its awkward. His eyes met with mine while holding me.

Hehe.

Smile. Ahh, this is troublesome, really.

Anyways Claude succeeded in holding me.

"Move. Its disturbing."

Claude started to make fun of Felix who could do nothing but stand there.

Why don't you stop and get out of my life? Just your existence is a huge disturbance to my life. I beg you! Get outta my life forever!

"Follow from the back."

Claude started walking leaving Felix behind. Why are you doing such a thing ti Felix?

Umm. But is it because he lost his pride from Felix? So its Felix's fault.

I should just stay still. Imma rock. A rock. Lets not move a muscle.

"Does Felix always hold you like this?"

Claude asked walking the hall. Where? When do you mean?

"When I come to see daddy?"

"Other than that."

At Ruby palace? Its only to see you when I leave Ruby palace grounds.

"Atti walks by herself!"

So just let me go.

"Atti can walk herself if Atti hold daddy's hand now too."

"Does that mean you want to get off me?"

Cough.

Why do you ask....

Seems like your pride was damaged alot. He's not as mature as I though. I'm not interfering into this though.

"Do not let Felix hold you unless I call you over. It'll become a habit."

What does that mean? Will you take Felix away soon? Well Felix was my personal bodyguard who worked unexpectedly long.

Anyways Claude you told me you'd give me guards soon but nothing happened these past 2 years. Did you forget?

But something was catching my interest from a while ago. What kind of bug is this?

"Your majesty. Can I come closer?"

Eek! Stop flying at my face. This is getting annoying. I can't do anything since I'm in Claude's arms. Shoo. Hah, you refuse? Wahh, I need Ruby palace's psycho unnie Seth!

"I told you not to disturb. Back up 10 more steps."

I swayed my hand doing my best not to move my body. I tried to shoo this bug away. But this bug would just stay. How dare you make me annoyed?!

"I could hold princess if she is heavy?"

Ack, annoying! Die fly!

"Nonsen...."

Slap!

I was trying to catch the bug but it seemed like I slapped the wrong thing. A while of silence later, 2 icy blue gem like eyes came to stare at me.

"Gasp."

I froze still with my hand still on his cheeks.

I'm pretty sure I hit the bug but why is my hand here? Then that sound was from my hand hitting....

"What...."

I moved my hands away when he spoke.

"...is this?"

What did I just do?

I felt fear. Did I just slap his face?

"Your majesty."

Felix spoke feeling the aura. I was frozen. The aura was icy cold and fearful. Claude smiled.

"Lookes like I went too easy on you these days."

I knew what his icy cold eyes meant. I started to shiver.

I always tried to hide my fear but it didn't work this time.

"The toys which are annying and I've become sick of."

Obly 7 years. The short but long time of me struggling to survive.

"needs to be gone."

I just made all my hard work go to waste y one single movement. When Claude touched my neck, I felt as if my soul was separated from the body.

And that wasn't a normal feeling. Because if it were, my sight wouldn't turn blurry like this.

And the last thing I saw wasn't warm gazes nor sad faces but the cold icy glare.
