I Think My Daughter Has Regressed (7 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 92
“Next, Count Scalla will enter.”
Ariel, whose attention had been captured by Damian, quickly turned her head.
Count Scalla, walking toward the Emperor, was—as always—wearing leather gloves.
As Ariel watched his hands intently, her eyes narrowed slightly, and at that very instant, Count Scalla’s gaze met hers.
He deliberately clenched his leather glove tightly and gave a faint smile. As their brief eye contact ended, the count leisurely turned his gaze and bowed his head to the Emperor.
“I greet His Imperial Majesty the Emperor.”
The count’s voice grated against Ariel’s ears like the screech of metal.
Unconsciously furrowing her brow, Ariel tightly clenched the hands resting on her knees.
At that moment—
Damian’s hand slid between Ariel’s fingers atop her knees.
Lowering her eyes to her own hands and sensing his touch, she turned her head—and saw Damian seated beside her, staring straight ahead.
Reassured by Damian’s gesture, Ariel gripped his fingers tightly and let out a long, quiet sigh.
“Yes, Count Scalla…”
Ariel let the Emperor’s voice calling Count Scalla drift past her ears.
The Emperor’s choice could never bypass Damian—his long-time friend and a war hero.
