Chapter 12: Im Doomed (2)

And there is a deep hatred and disgust within him. He even had that same look when he mercilessly slashed my neck.

I dont know what youre thinking but listen, you damned girl.

Ugh

You better be aware that I have no intention of staying close to the likes of you.

Wh-, why Sezh stammered to herself.

Raytan didnt answer for a moment then suddenly grabbed Sezhs hair with his other hand. It was so painful that Sezhs eyes began to swell with tears.

Blonde hair and blue eyes. All of the people in the Imperial Palace look the same and stick close together. Just like birds, flocking together with their companions.

Big bro-, big brother RaytanI know what the imperial people think of us. So do you. And what of it?

I hate the likes of you. Even more than the hate you show me to the point where I want to kill you all!

No, wait, you think this is my fault? I didnt even do anything wrong towards you Im not even doing the same things that I did in the past

Of course, Sezh didnt say that out loud because she still wanted to live.

Youre filthy.

Raytan finally released Sezh as if he were ridding himself of a bug. He even clapped his hands together roughly like one would do when patting themselves clean.

Huff, huff. Sezh staggered and breathed heavily.

Get away from me.

Ah, but

I really feel like vomiting

As she lost her balance, Sezh slammed her face right into Raytans chest. Then

Oof

What?

Hueee.

At that moment, all the things that Sezh had eaten hurled forth and splattered upon them like a waterfall. She saw that Raytans clothes had become soaked and dirty with her illness.

Im doom ed

A cold silence fell between them. Sezh, who freed herself from Raytans chest, looked up to see his reaction.

Raytan didnt move an inch.

He seems like someone who doesnt understand what just happened. Maybe he is just dumbfounded, or maybe both

Seeing him like this, Sezh began to wipe Raytans clothes with her sleeve. Of course, it was of no use. Far from becoming better, it was getting worse.

Im doomed.

Sezh paled and opened her lips, quivering.

Im so-, sorr

I didnt mean to do this really, I am-

Raytan interrupted her by pushing Sezh away.

Aaack!

She fell backwards and screamed, and Raytan glared at her as if he really wanted to kill her right now.

Am I going to die now? Because I threw up on him once?Sezh shivered and trembled in fear, but Raytan neither killed Sezh nor hit her.

He left her alone while muttering things like, damn it, or stupid girl, among other curse words.

Sezh, who was left alone, didnt move an inch until Raytans back disappeared from view. It was more like she had been frozen in place. She was afraid that once she turned around, he would run back towards her, but Raytan had disappeared. After waiting for a long time, Sezh sighed in relief.

I almost died.It was really unexpected. I thought he was going to at least hit me. Honestly, I wouldnt have been surprised if he slapped me a couple of times. Well, Im glad, though

But it looks like the plan to curry favor with him has failed and been cancelled already.

No, Im sure therell be another chance to try again later.

Sezh tried to comfort herself. At least now, after vomiting, she felt a little better.

As she got up, she tried to pick up the jewelry box and the ruby that had been left lying on the floor. She was extremely relieved and tired that the days ordeal was over. All she wanted to do now was go back, take a bath, and change out of her dirty, vomit-ridden clothes. She was still afraid because Raytan was supposed to teach her Kazaki, but she decided to think about it tomorrow.
