章 173: What if he gets me again?

Celestia's POV: 

Darius dismissed the training once he spotted me. He didn't have to do that! I could have waited until the training got over. Edwin and I stayed next to the pine-oak tree until all the young warriors left the cliff. 

Once the warriors left, Edwin left the cliff, too, as he didn't want to get involved in this issue. With a confused look on his face, Darius came to me and asked, "Celestia, is everything alright in the castle?" 

"Yeah, everything is fine! But why are you not coming home?"

"I was just running some errands," he replied blanky. 

I understood that he was hesitating to give me a proper reply. Is he very upset because of our Father's decision that he refuses to stay in the same place with me? 

I took a deep breath and said firmly, "Darius, I am going to refuse the crown on the day of Coronation. I don't want to be a Princess!"

"What? Why would you refuse the crown?" He raised his voice.
