The Last Princess of the Kingdom of Verdant
22.

Nanny, who was tutoring Anne in the room, stopped talking to hear Anne's door knock.
“Excuse me miss, here I bring you a snack and warm tea.” Lucy entered the room and put down various snacks.
“Nanny! The chef in this castle is very good at making snacks! Nanny should try it!”
*Tap tap*Sound someone's voice walking quickly to Anne's room.
“Nona! Princess Hera came with Prince Reinhardt! They've been waiting in the living room.” Collin spoke quickly from outside Anne's room.
The surprised Anne immediately turned to nanny.
“Ah, nanny. Is my dress worth it?” Anne was not sure if the dress she was wearing was still neat or not.
“Better miss immediately change clothes. Collin please tell me that miss will be down in a moment.” Nanny immediately got up and helped Anne change clothes. Lucy is also busy choosing the dress for Anne to wear.
“What's there suddenly the emperor's family comes without prior notice?”
“Hihihi, just relax nanny.” Anne could not help but laugh at the sight of Nanny and Lucy who were suddenly panicking.
They still don't know that Anne did allow Hera to come play whenever she wanted. But why was Prince Rein coming this time as well? Hmm, maybe he came to see Brother Chris.
“Well, already!” Nanny wiped the sweat on her forehead while checking Anne's appearance once again.
“Nona ready?” Hans asked as Anne exited her room with the nanny.
“Yes lead me down Hans!” Anne stuck her hand forward, waiting for Hans to grab it.
“Alright let's get down!” instead of holding Anne's hand, Hans carried her and walked quickly.
“Ah Hans! Lower me! I'm not a kid anymore!” Anne's face immediately flushed. Anne hit Hans in the chest slowly.
“Hans! Don't fuck around!” Nanny hits Hans on the back.
“Hahaha, like this faster miss!” Hans laughed off. For a long time he had not bothered Anne, he was walking faster and faster leaving the nanny chasing after them.
Free hitting Hans! he will not lower it. What if Hera and Prince Rein see it! Ah this is so embarrassing! Anne stopped hitting Hans and hid her red face on Hans' shoulder.

“Nah is here!” Hans lowered Anne slowly in front of the living room door.
“What happened Hans?” Collin looked puzzled at Anne's blushing face.
“Haha, it's okay Collin.” Hans replied casually.
Anne tidied up her clothes once more before meeting Hera and Prince Rein. Hhh .., no one can stop Hans. How could he forget how nosy Hans was, he had to be more careful.
“Please enter miss.” Collin opened the door for Anne. Nanny finally arrives just as Anne is about to enter.
“Anne! Are you feeling better? I'm still very worried about you.” It seems that the empress deliberately allowed Hera to visit often so that Anne would not feel lonely. He always asked Anne when she came.
“I've better princess, thanks for the attention.” Anne bowed slightly in greeting.
“Sorry Anne, I just visited you now.” Rein felt guilty about not being able to visit Anne early.
“Who am I, which is worth visiting by Your Majesty.” Anne gave her best smile. He was very grateful that the emperor's family was very attentive to him.
“Hahaha, no need to overdo Anne, after all there is no one here.” Hera laughed at Anne who was overreacting.
“You look a little red Anne, are you unwell?” Rein approached Anne and touched Anne's still blushing cheek.
“Ti-no Brother Rein! I'm doing fine! Today feels very hot so ..” Shocked by the sudden touch, Anne becomes nervous, even though she knows Rein is only sympathetic to her.
“Hmm, great then. Sorry if I surprised you.” Rein stroked Anne's head slowly, as he did to Hera. Somehow it felt so nice to stroke Anne's head, probably because her hair was finer than Hera's.
“Oh! who is Anne? Your new bodyguard?” Hera realizes the existence of Hans and Nanny.
“Include Hera, this is my other bodyguard, Hans and this is Nanny Polla. We were separated while on our way.”
“Greetings, Prince Reinhardt and Princess Hera.” Hans and Nanny greeted them. Fortunately, Collin had already given his name when he approached Anne's room.
“Wah, he's huge. Are all the bodyguards in the Duke's residence this big?”
“Hehe, of course not. Hans is a special bodyguard, he is Verdant's best bodyguard. But of course not exceeding my father!”
Although Anne rarely met her father, she knew he was the strongest man in Verdant, even more than King Verdant. Anne became a little grim, worried about her father.
“Let's just relax miss, I've been following duke a lot in the war, and I know how powerful duke is. Although Verdant lost, the duke must have managed to escape.”
Hans patted Anne's shoulder slowly. He could not imagine how Anne could deal with all this over the past few days. Moreover, they had been separated, Anne must have been very worried about them.
“Hehe, yes I know it!” Hans was right, he can't go back moody. Everyone must also be very worried, but they keep trying to think positively. If Hans could survive, his father would still be alive.
“Ah! Rein must be here to see Chris! Collin, where's Brother Chris?”
“Young Master Chris is not here miss, he is going to buy something. Sir says will be back in the afternoon.”
“No Anne, I'm here to see you. There's no way I'm gonna let Hera roam around on her own anyway. Oh yes, Brother Arthur and Parlo also apologized not being able to visit you.”
“Hahaha, Brother Parlo was scolded again for running away from his teacher! He said he wanted to go to the toilet and never come back! Hahaha.” Hera could not stop laughing at the moment her brother was scolded yesterday.
“Parlo will be very sad to hear you divulge her secret to Anne,” Rein reminds Hera, before she divulges another secret.
“Ups!” Hera is so happy to tease Parlo, she forgets that her sister likes Anne. After all, her sister is very easy to fall in love.
“Anne, since you've gotten better, please show us around this Castle! I've been dying to play in the park since I first came here!”
“Do not force Anne, Hera. It's okay Anne if you're still unwell.”
“It's okay Brother, besides the weather is also very cold. I also really want to take a walk and breathe fresh air.”
“Then I will prepare a coat for miss.” Nanny orders a servant to get Anne's coat.
“Yeyy!! Come, come!” Hera immediately got up and walked out.
“Let's miss me deliver.” Collin followed Hera. But it's useless, every time Hera came, she wanted to go to the park, so she already knew the way to the park.
“Hey, slow down Hera!” Rein gave up chasing after Hera and let her servants and guards chase after her.
“Hihihi, Hera is very adorable.” Anne laughed at Hera's behavior.
Hera felt free when she was in the Voinn residence, it was very pleasant because no adult would scold her. His mother could not always accompany him here, so often he was accompanied only by his servants and bodyguards.
“You won't find it adorable when it bothers you all day. It would be nice if Hera had a nature like you. Hhhh ..” Rein sighed resignedly. His parents were very pampering for Hera.
“Come on,” Hans clasped Anne's hand to lead her to the park.
“No need, I will lead Anne.” Rein clasped Anne's hand, hinting Hans to let go of her grasp.
“Thank you brother, sorry to trouble.”
“This is not at all a hassle Anne. No need to apologize if I offer myself. You seem to apologize too often. That's a bad habit, Anne, hahaha.”
“Ma-Ah, good brother.”
Anne never realized it, but she seemed to have gotten used to apologizing. He is always afraid because of his limitations, people around him will become burdened. Moreover, since he was the son of a duke, no one would dare to refuse his request.
