The Last Princess of the Kingdom of Verdant

24.

“Oh yes, it looks like I already know how to insert magic into the necklace. Since you've already cast my magic, now you can enter your magic.”

“Hmm, so this necklace can only hold one magic only?”

“Iya, but you can save it up to very much. You want to try to insert your magic?”

“Ng!! How do kak?”

“This is my example ...” Rein led Anne to hold the jewel in both hands.

‘Ah, Kak Rein's hand feels very warm.’ Anne's face was slightly flushed at how close they were now. ‘Focus Anne!’ Anne kept reminding herself.

“Try focusing to get your energy out of both hands.” Anne closed her eyes and tried to focus. Anne was already more adept at controlling her energy, she also felt that her energy was already more than before.

“Good Anne! You can already!” Rein let go of both hands and let Anne stay focused on controlling her energy.

It seems Anne will be very adept at using her magic. She still can't believe Anne only started training her energy last month. It takes half a year to collect water around it.

“It's enough Anne, don't waste your energy. You will limp when you run out of energy.” Rein held Anne's hand slowly, not wanting to surprise her.

“Good Brother, thank you. I'll replenish it when my energy has recovered.”

“The gem will change color to light blue when it is full of energy.”

“Anne, have you succeeded?” Hera ran over to them, already tired of playing.

‘Wah, it looks like you guys are playing very excitedly.” Anne heard Chris' voice from behind her.

“Hera, you look very messed up.” Rein sighed feeling embarrassed and resigned to see the state of his sister.

“Yes majesty, I will prepare a guest room for the Princess to improve.” Collin immediately offered to look at Hera's state filled with sweat.

“Yes, we'd better go back inside. Please help Hera improve.” Rein orders Hera's servants to help her improve. Fortunately they always prepared clothes for Hera to change.

“Anne! Come accompany me!” Hera walked cheerfully in Anne's hand.

“Kak, can I have a look at the library?” While waiting for Hera, he wanted to see the duke's book collection here.

“Sure, I'll take you there.”

“I'm done!” Hera came out of the bathroom with her servants.

“Wah, you shower very fast!” Anne was playing with her doll on the bed, when Hera came out. Lucy helps Anne get off the bed and approaches Hera.

“Hehe, of course. I'm very good at many things. Hmm, I just realized it, but your servant is only one Anne?” Hera confuses Anne with only one servant, although Anne is blind.

“My personal servant is just Lucy at the moment. But he used to be helped by other maids.”

“Hmm, yes actually I don't need a lot of servants either! Mother is indeed very excessive.” Hera felt ashamed and like a child for being served by so many servants. He only realized that even Rein was not followed by the servants.

“Hihi, as a princess indeed must have many servants Hera.” Anne laughed a little.

“Let's go down, Brother Chris and Kak Rein must have been waiting in the dining room,” Anne when Hera was ready.

--

“Wah, where did the lion go?” Rein mocked Hera, when they arrived at the dining room.

“Hmph!!” Hera was stifled and walked while stomping her feet towards her seat.

“Haha, you are very beautiful, Princess.” Brother Chris stood up and greeted Hera. He pulled out a chair and invited Hera to sit down.

“Thank you,” replied Hera briefly, slightly blushing. Why had her brother never treated her like this? Huh.

Chris then helps Anne to sit next to Hera. ‘Ah must be a lot of fun when you can eat together like this every day.’ Even so he was very grateful Brother Chris was willing to accompany him all this time, even Brother Chris never let Anne eat alone.

“Oh yes, this is an invitation for you.” Rein hands it to Collin to give it to Anne.

“Iya! Kak Luna will be holding a debut party as a warning of growing up. It would be great if you could be there.”

“Em ...” Anne hesitated to accept the invitation. She had never been to a dance before, except for her brother's debut party, and she was just standing quietly with her parents.

“Just calm Anne, I will accompany you if you want.” Brother Chris kindly offers to accompany Anne. It is not good to attend a party without a partner or family.

“Alright, when exactly will the party be held?” ask Anne.

“Not to worry, the party is still next month. There is still plenty of time to prepare everything.” Hera was so happy Anne was willing to come, at least she would have a interlocutor at the party.

“Good miss, this will be a good opportunity also to be able to meet other nobles in Terra.” Nanny convinced Anne.

To be able to reclaim Verdant, he needed as many connections as possible. At least he should be able to show that the Voinn family is still standing stably. This would make it easier to convince them to be willing to help Verdant.

After dinner, they escorted Rein and Hera back to the palace.

“See you Anne!! I'll play again!”

“Be careful Hera!” Rein rebuked Hera who was running towards the carriage. Anne waved her hand to Hera who looked up from inside the carriage.

“Thank you Brother, already visited.” Anne bowed in greeting to Rein.

“I'd be so honored to get the first dance with you. Ah, I'm still waiting for your answer.” Rein leaned over and whispered in Anne's ear. He then stroked Anne's head slowly and got into the car.

“Anne?” Brother Chris was confused to see Anne who was still still glued when the train was gone.

The dance?! He never learned to dance! What's he supposed to do? What does it mean for the emperor to wait for an answer?

“Anne?” Brother Chris called out and patted Anne on the shoulder softly, as he was still unresponsive.

“Ah, I can't dance.” Anne who subconsciously said what was on her mind.

“Oh, hahaha. I'll help you. For someone as smart as you sing, dancing will definitely be so easy.” Chris chuckled at Anne who was nervous about facing her first party.

“Really?” Anne wasn't sure she'd learn it in a month.

“I can also dance miss!” Hans said suddenly. Ah, I forgot there was Hans behind me. It turned out that Hans could actually be professional in front of other nobles. During this time Anne did not meet many other people, she was still not used to Hans' change of attitude.

“Nona should rest immediately. Do not try to invite the lady to play again.” Nanny warned Hans sternly.

“Oh miss must be very tired today, let my lady deliver to the room miss.” Hans held Anne slowly.

“Hoaam ...” Today feels very long. Is Kent okay out there?

Hearing Anne yawn, Hans, who had intended to run again, undo his intentions and walked slowly. He misses the cheerful and nosy Anne, but this is still better than when he first arrived at this castle. I hope Anne can smile again as brightly as ever.

“So miss, what did the prince whisper earlier?” Hans asked curiously.

“Ng, em, not anything Hans. Not something that matters. Ah Brother Chris, Brother Rein said that the emperor was waiting for my answer. Does your sister understand what she means?”

“What? The emperor? Hah ... there can't be a serious emperor right?” Chris was worried to hear Anne.

‘Did I forget something important?’ His meeting with the emperor was very short, there was no way he could forget the events of that day.

‘Hm, is this about his kingdom? I'll think about it again tomorrow.’ Anne was too tired to think.

“Goodnight miss, this bodyguard will be standing guard in front of here. Just call anytime miss needs something.”

As Anne's personal bodyguard, Hans had the authority to give orders to all the bodyguards and knights present in the residence. Even more so after the head of the Yunne Castle squad went along with Kent. Hans indirectly had the highest authority in this residence after Collin and Nanny.

Nanny immediately helps Anne take a bath and prepares to go to sleep. The exhausted Anne fell asleep as soon as the nanny laid her on the bed.
