<strong>Chapter 285: The Emperor’s Daughter Chapter. 285</strong>


    Now that I hade to think of it, did Dranste just suddenly disappear without words because he was generous and because he knew that Assisi would scold me with worry? I felt suspicious about why he did such a good thing, but it was also true that I was grateful for him. Anyway, he sometimes did this kind of vague idea and made me feel like I couldn’t even hate him. Oh, that sneaky man.


    “Were you reading a book?”


    “Huh?”


    Assisi asked me while looking at the area beside me. Assisi, who was standing next to me, was still as handsome as ever, I see.


    This reminded me of when we first met.


    I smiled while thinking about those days. Back then, I never could have imagined that we’d be this close…


    “But I’ve already finished reading it.”


    As soon as I stood up, Assisi followed me naturally. I was going to walk around my garden and go back to the pce and have dinner. I stood up without thinking because this is my daily routine, but when I saw Asissi, my heart suddenly wavered.


    “Assisi, would you like to hold hands?”


    “Pardon me?!”


    Huh? Why was he so surprised more than he should have been? I was embarrassed after looking at his reaction.


    “No, I just… it seems like I’ve never walked while holding your hand before.”


    After all, he always held me in his arms.


    Usually, I would hold on to Assisi’s sleeves, or he would walk behind me. A mostmon scene is that my dad and I would walk while holding each other’s hands, and Assisi would follow behind us.


    Oh, thinking about that now, we had never really held hands.


    Now that I realized it, I wondered how I could do that.


    I didn’t do anything for Assisi, but he always protected me. I didn’t know anything to repay Assisi. I barely smiled, thinking that I was such an indifferent master.


    “Come on, here, let’s hold hands.”


    As soon as I stretched my arms and stuck it out to him, Assisi looked down at my hand. I was a little embarrassed because he looked at my hands as if he was looking at a strange object.


    What was he staring at? Hadn’t he ever seen a person’s hand before?


    Assisi’s face looked like he was considering something. Hmm. Maybe I shouldn’t have suggested holding hands. I just wanted to tap out now, but somehow, he seemed embarrassed, so I just waited for him. He didn’t seem against it… so I should wait for him. Wait, wait!
