Chapter 48: Demonic Blood Spear
“Hmm...She’s taking too long...”
I wonder how long I talked with Her Highness. When I suddenly looked at the clock, more than two hours had already passed. Maybe Roka passed out in the bathhouse or she got lost.
“No...With her nose, she shouldn’t have gotten lost.”
Her Highness’ expression also became serious. After finishing our conversation, I got up from my seat.
It may be overprotective, but it’s natural to be worried when Roka has been away for a long time without a word.
“I’ll go look for her.”
“Even though she’s a child, she’s not helpless you know? Is there a need to worry so much?”
“I am her guardian.”
The Empire is vast and has diverse customs. In some places, they treat you as an adult once you’re over fifteen.
It’s not that I don’t know that, but that doesn’t change the fact that I’m Roka’s guardian.
“It’s the same as Your Highness’ parents still seeing you as a child they need to protect.”
