Why Are You So Disinterested In Affection?
Chapter 26

Tik tok tik tok

Nah!

The long and short needles pointed in the same direction, 12pm had arrived, the atmosphere of the palace was so quiet and silent.

The sound of footsteps echoed along the Main Castle passage, heavy steps so hurriedly sounded, his voice filling the passageway.

The sounds of night animals sounding earthy to each other accompany a silent night, with the breeze blowing slowly.

"Huh... I have finally finished the files, why could there be more for today? I had to stay up until midnight" Aaron grumbled.

He just finished his work, being an Emperor is not easy as you know.

"Is my youngest daughter asleep? He should have slept from there, I would have gone to check on him" Aaron thought, then stepped into the castle where his youngest daughter he cared about, at least that was what Aaron had in mind.

Every step of hers left a trace of a small wind, she stopped stepping and gazed up at the sky for a moment, staring at the full moon that was shining on the flickering stars.

"Raphelia..." Aaron sighed, whenever he looked up at the full moon, he would always be reminded of his late wife.

Someone's voice broke his mind, that person walked up to Aaron.

"Your Majesty? Why are you outside and not resting?" albert asked worriedly, in his hand was a small lantern to light his way through, he seemed to be on patrol.

Aaron silently did not reply, he was still staring at the moon, there was a longing gaze there.

Albert looked at Aaron for a moment before he fell silent, he remembered, once the Emperor and the Empress always saw the moon together, the Emperor must be nostalgic now.

Long Albert waited in silence, accompanied by the sound of the night animal, Aaron finally opened his voice.

"Albert" call Aaron slowly.

"Is there anything you need, Your Majesty?" asked Albert to feel his words.

"Observations of that child from the Sacred Temple, I don't like him" Aaron's face turned cold, his gaze instantly becoming sharp and cold, as if his gaze was going to make someone die right then and there.

"... I understand, Your Honor, I will" Albert bowed respectfully to Aaron.

"You continue your patrol, I'll go see if the Princess is asleep or not" Aaron said calmly, returning to his feet, leaving Albert alone there.

"Your Majesty. haih.. her attitude is the same when she was just married to the Empress, she must be aware of one or two things" Albert muttered as well as shook his head.

A small smile appeared on Albert's face, he then continued his footsteps around the palace, returning to patrol.

Aaron kept going until he got to the door of the right-wing castle (this is right, right?) stand right there.

The atmosphere was so quiet, considering that it was already midnight, Aaron was just about to open the door with a spare key, just as the door opened.

"... Daddy's? What are you doing here?" asked the person who opened the castle door, she was Liana.

Aaron was silent for a moment before opening his mouth.

"... I can't sleep, Dad.." Liana answered honestly, she couldn't sleep after waking up half an hour ago, even though she had only slept for 2 hours.

Aaron shut up and thought for a moment, "You see something? Maybe it will help you fall back asleep" Aaron gave a soft pat on Liana's head again.

"May father" Liana replied with a slight smile.

Aaron smiled, he took Liana's little hand and grasped it, slowly taking Liana away, a few minutes, they were down the road.

Aaron takes Liana to a place Liana never saw.

If Liana remembered, it seemed like this was the Emperor's private place with the Empress spending time, a small, calm lake was seen reflecting the moonlight.

There was a big rock near the lake, with fireflies flying, making the place like a fairy tale.

Aaron took Liana to the boulder, sitting himself on the boulder with Liana beside him.

"First, mom and dad used to come in at night, look at the moon" Aaron started the story, he stared at the moon.

Liana listened to Aaron, she looked at the moon which had a bluish silver light.

"You haven't been here in a long time..." Aaron stopped his story, slowly a faint silver light began to gather near the large rock they were sitting on.

Slowly the light formed the body of a silver-haired wolf visible with a long tail that exceeded its body, its eyes were blue with crystals on its forehead.

Liana stared at the wolf intensely, she could instantly recognize the wolf, the wolf's name was Will, the guardian beast of the imperial family.

"Greetings, Aaron. I haven't seen you here in a long time" a soft silky voice sounded in Liana's ears, she looked at Will with a curious look.

He only knew about will and his whereabouts, but never met in person.

"Well... I'm very busy, so I can't come here" Aaron said.

Will snorted, he approached them, standing right beside Liana, he brought his muzzle closer towards Liana, as if asking her to touch his muzzle.

Liana carefully touched Will's muzzle, while Aaron just silently watched their interaction.

"You're as beautiful as your mother" Will opened his voice, his blue eyes staring at Liana intensely, but also gently.

After that for a while Will widened his eyes, but then quickly brought his face closer to Liana, whispered something and made sure that Aaron did not hear it.

Aaron looked at them curiously, but didn't find out.
