Chapter 335: Bread and Dagger (33)
In her childhood, the princess loved rare animals.
As a woman born into the imperial bloodline, it wasn’t unusual for her to have one or two extravagant hobbies.
Moreover, wasn’t it at a time when she was suffering from deep-rooted mistrust of humans?
Cien loved animals more than humans.
Humans adorned themselves with all sorts of facades, but animals couldn’t do that. The princess loved that social incapacity of theirs.
At least she wouldn’t be betrayed.
The Emperor was not someone who would fail to understand his daughter’s sentiments. With the implicit consent of the absolute ruler, the princess was allowed to raise several exotic animals.
Sometimes, foreign envoys who had heard the rumours would bring animals from their homelands.
Their intentions were obvious. They hope to gain even a small advantage in negotiations with the empire by obtaining the favour of the princess known as the Emperor’s ‘sore thumb.’
