Chapter 180: The Dirty Throne Is Unworthy of Mephilia
“If you’ve made a mistake, you should just say it directly, right?” Liana wasn’t particularly sensitive about this aspect, and she also believed that the King of Lisat wouldn’t get angry at her for such a thing.
“Even your father never spoke to me like this,” the king-no, the weary of man smiled.
“That’s because he doesn’t know about this. If he knew, he would definitely say so,” Liana said.
“...” He seemed lost in thought. “Truly worthy of being their daughter. Such an excellent character—brave and decisive like your father, Rayen, gentle and kind like your mother, Ambis.”
“Then I’ve somewhat disgraced my mother, because I’m not at all a gentle person,” Liana didn’t know why people always liked to describe her with the word ‘gentle.’
She didn’t know where her gentleness was. “I’m only like this with specific people. It’s not gentleness at all.”
“That is gentleness, Liana.” If one were unconditionally gentle to everyone, that would be called being a saint.
When it’s time to be angry, be angry; when it’s time to be gentle, be gentle.
“Whatever.” Liana also knew that arguing about whether she was gentle or not had no meaning.
“So, Liana, what do you want to tell me?” the king asked.
“...First, promise you won’t get angry.”
“I am, after all, the king of our kingdom. How could I possibly get angry over a word or two from you?” the king said very amiably.
