The Last Princess of the Kingdom of Verdant
11.
It didn't feel like the night was coming, they stopped for a while to eat at a restaurant. Anne could smell the scent of various foods as she walked in led by Chris. The atmosphere in the restaurant is not too crowded. Anne and Chris then sat down at a table close to the window.
“What do you want to order? What's your favorite food Anne?”
“I like anything sister.”
“Alright, you seem to have to eat more meat.”
Chris finally ordered a steak and a bowl of soup for Anne. Anne just sat quietly thinking about something, waiting for the food to come. Chris tried to get Anne to talk, what can she talk about?
“Hei Anne, have you ever tried Cold Slime? It is a dessert that is very popular here, you want to try it?”
“I really like sweet food! What does Chris look like?”
“It's very sweet, chewy, and cold. Jeremy likes it too. I'll order it as dessert.”
“Wah, that sounds really good. I can't wait to try it!”
Anne was so happy that Chris was so attentive to her. It should not be too long to be sad, and make the atmosphere awkward. I believe you can definitely beat the Warts.
“Oh look our food has come. Do you need Anne's help? Is the Light here bright enough?”
“No need Brother, I can eat by myself.”
Chris gives Anne her soup and spoon, then she cuts Anne's steak into small pieces before giving it to Anne. Chris is very attentive and mature.
“Thank you Kak.”
“Eat slowly, and just say it when you need something.”
Anne began to feel comfortable around Chris, hopefully she can visit Crotta again someday. After that they decided to stop at an inn. Anne was not used to sleeping alone, especially in a foreign place. I have to get used to it, it would be a shame if others found out about this.

Anne couldn't sleep well last night. He closed his eyes and tried not to think about anything, but he continued to be disturbed by the sounds around him. He kept hearing voices that scared him.
“Hoamm ...,” Anne is still very sleepy when out for breakfast.
The waiter who guided her probably realized that she had fallen asleep while she was being washed. Chris was waiting at a table reading a book.
“Again, Brother. What are you reading?”
“For Anne, this is just a book about magic.”
“Wah, Brother Chris seems to really like magic. Is sister already an official witch in Crotta?”
“Yes, I've registered as a witch and worked with a group of witches. Oh yeah I ordered eggs and toast for you, do you want anything else?”
“No need, I love it brother.Thank you.”
“Will a trip to Terra interfere with sister's work?” Anne asked while eating her food.
“You don't have to worry about Anne, after all our group has many members. The leader of our group is also a close friend of mother, so take it easy.”
“Does sister pursue a certain field in magic?”
“My magic element is wind magic, so I got into the long-range assault division and protector. Not too cool huh?”
“That sounds really cool, brother! Wah it turns out magic also has a special element?”
“Yes of course, your magic must also have certain elements. I don't have magic vision, so I can't see your element. But we'll find out after you've successfully released your magic energy.”
“I'm getting impatient to be able to use my magic soon!”
“Alright, don't forget to show it to me when that time comes.”
“Of course! Chris trained me. I hope I can before Chris returns to Crotta. We might be hard to meet after this.”
“Ah yes, our group is also talking about the Wart attack and will probably help even if the Crotta government is not willing to help. So we'll see you soon again.”
“Even if Crotta is not willing to help? Is that possible?”
“This is one of the advantages of working in a private witch group, so we are not bound by the government. You're done Anne?”
“Iya sis, let's resume the journey immediately.”

Anne closed her eyes and tried to direct her energy, but after a few hours of practice, Anne involuntarily fell back asleep.
“Hahaha, Anne are you asleep?” Chris chuckled at Anne who was down next to him.
“...” Anne did not respond to anything.
“Nona Anne couldn't sleep well last night, Mr. Chris,” said one of Anne's servants.
Hearing this, Chris sighed.
“It looks like he still has nightmares huh?” Chris was sad to see Anne who kept trying to look cheerful in front of him.
She then laid Anne on her lap so Anne could sleep more comfortably.
Losing Anne on her lap seemed like a mistake. Chris felt very awkward and did not dare to look at Anne's face. She only considers Anne a little sister, but she is not used to being too close to women.
They'll soon reach the border gate, but Anne's still not awake. Does he need to wake her?
Tok
“Master, the Terra guards asked for proof of identity to enter.”
“Shh. Here, take my insignia.”
Soon they were welcome through the gate.
“Master, this is my return. Are we going straight to the palace?”
“We go to the Voinn Residence first. Maybe Anne's family was already there. You can follow the instructions of the family bodyguard Vininn.”
“Good sir.”
--
“Hnng ...”
Anne suddenly woke up and stretched her stiff body.
“We're up to kak?”
“Iya Anne, we have entered the territory of Terra and are heading to the Residence of Vininn.”
“Porta Castle?”
“Hmm, maybe your bodyguard is leading the way.”
“Hopefully mom and sister have arrived there too .…”
Anne could not wait to see her family again. How could he fall asleep at a time like this! Anne opened the window of the train and tried to imagine how the view outside with her blurry vision.
“So why is this city so crowded? Is the entire city in Terra this crowded?”
“You've never been to Terra Anne?”
“Nanny says that I was once taken to Terra, but back then I was very small.”
“The city is crowded because it is close to the port, and I can also see a lot of people coming from Verdant.”
“Verdant Price? It is good that many have managed to evacuate. When I arrived at the east gate, the Wart troops were already on guard there and many citizens were captured. The guards and servants who were with me may also have been caught.”
Anne clasped her bag tighter, and could feel her wooden doll. Nanny, Hans.
“Knight Vininn is famous for being very powerful. They must be fine.”
“Iya ..” Hans was so big that he could easily defeat the Wart army.
Anne took out her bear statue and held it tightly. Moments later he realized that his magic energy was gathered in his hand which was holding the statue.
“Eh, Brother what happened to my hand?” Anne immediately showed her hand to Chris.
