81: Rest for now

"You have a habit of losing yourself in your thoughts even when you are with me. Would you care to tell me what you are thinking about?"

The princess asked Sui, causing her to feel flustered.

There was not a single answer that Sui could give, and it would make her situation better for her.

'What should I do? What should I say? Whatever I say will sound suspicious to the princess, right? In that case, should I lie to the princess? But what do I even lie about? Oh god! I am doing it again!!!'

The more Sui tried not to panic, the more she panicked. 

Her mind was her enemy, and she refused to calm down.

"Still thinking. Then, would you like to remind me why you should focus on me? Have I been too lenient on you?"

The princess asked; in any other case, Sui would have thought the princess sounded suggestive.

But this was the bloody princess everyone feared, making even Sui afraid of what would happen to her.
