[DAMN IT!]
Isaak rarely cursed, but he couldn't help but do so while searching the entire bookstore for Princess Runa.
[I shouldn't have taken my eyes off of Runa!]
It only happened for a few seconds.
He was caught off-guard when the writer they were looking for turned out to be a woman whose hair was dyed with magic. Thus, he let his guard down.
That moment caused him to lose Runa.
[I've been careless…]
If something bad happened to his daughter, he would never forgive himself.
[My daughter…]
His heart suddenly ached with guilt.
[Runa is Emperor Rino's daughter, and my brother is still alive. Moreover, Runa is the true Crown Princess. She can't be my adopted daughter forever.]
Even so, he felt like he couldn't let go of the young princess anymore.
He was sure that Zoe felt the same, too.
"Daddy-ya!"
