Bab 45: Daddy Misses You

Yu Chen is seated on a low stool, thighs spread to accommodate the woman in red who is kneeling between them. The scene is ambiguous; Kira sees the woman's hands moving, though she can't make out what exactly she is doing. This should be none of her business, really, but like they say, curiosity itself is a disease.

"It's just like I thought," the woman says, voice low and sultry. "Confronting the cause of your paranoia should solve the problem."

Yu Chen doesn't say anything, just continues to stare at the wall absently. He doesn't protest when the woman places a hand on his thigh.

"But... now, nothing is happening. Could it be that the prince doesn't find me attractive?"

"I don't."

"Oho, so then, the princess must be a beauty, if only she can get a reaction from his Majesty."

"She's the ugliest woman I've ever seen in my life," Yu Chen says with a scowl.

The woman in red smirks; she clearly doesn't believe him.
