The Last Princess of the Kingdom of Verdant
27.
“APAA?! Well, they turned out to be very brave. Then who do I have to go with?? How could they betray me, who has always been their partner.”
Hera has always been their partner, although lately Parlo has always come up with various other women he approaches. He didn't even attend some parties because Rein didn't want to be his partner! He never had another partner besides them! How did they betray this loyal me?!
“Ah, sorry Hera ..” Anne felt a little guilty hearing how upset Hera was. He did not expect it turned out that Rein had always been a couple Hera. Am I the first woman he's taken with besides Hera?
'Anne, don't think strangely, surely this is due to the orders of the emperor!’ Unknowingly his face flushed a little. Chris told him about the emperor's question yesterday. It is impossible for the emperor to be serious about it.
“It's okay Anne, it's not your fault. Those guilty of daring to betray me. Just look at it later when I get home!” Hera was determined to get to them as soon as she came home.
“Hahaha, maybe it's time you also look for a new partner besides them.” Although Hera likes to fight with boys, Anne believes that there must be someone who wants to be her partner. In the near future, he will also be able to accept a proposal to get engaged.
“I hate bad kids so much! Men my age are all either naughty or arrogant. Hans, how about you be my partner later?”
“I-it will be difficult noble, even more so considering the difference in height ...”
“Huh true too. Damn, Brother Arthur also has a fiancee. Anyway party this time I don't want to pair with them! Just look I'll get a better partner!”
“How about Brother Chris? Brother Chris will definitely be willing to accompany you.”
“Good idea Anne!! Where's Chris Brother? I'll ask him directly.”
“Sister Chris is not here, but he will be back at lunch. Alright Hans, today until here only training.”
“Ah, it's okay Anne, anyway I want to see you dance.”
“Really? But I'm still not very proficient ..”
“Hahaha, just relax Anne, I am still often wrong. That's why I only ever danced once.”
“Emm alright, don't laugh at me huh!” Anne stood up and welcomed Hans' helping hand and as the music played, they began to dance.
“Hmm” Hera sits watching Anne while enjoying her music and tea.
“Eh? Anne, are you dancing while closing your eyes?”
“Hehehe, yes.” Anne answered briefly.
“I can focus more when I close my eyes. After all, I can't see, and I'm a little dizzy when I dance while opening my eyes. Everything looks blurry and spinning.” Anne explained when she finished dancing. He sat down again in front of Hera.
“Hoo ..., so. Aren't you afraid of falling or hitting something?” Indeed most of the dance moves are done with a partner, but there are times when they have to separate.
“Hehe, all this time Brother Chris and Hans never let go of their grasp. Even when the part where we have to part. Brother Chris feels it will be safer when it is.”
“Aaah, it's just fitting that I don't see you two separated. But holding hands wasn't bad either, I didn't even notice. But indeed, when dancing together with others, the difference is definitely more visible.”
“Yes, but maybe it's okay isn't it? Considering my condition ...”
“If anyone dares to bully you for that, just tell me okay? No one dared to fight me!”
“Hahaha, I'm very lucky to have such a tough friend!”
“Indeed while in the party hall we are not allowed to bring bodyguards, but when there is me, you do not need to worry Hans!”
“Of course your majesty, I entrust miss to you.”
“See that someday I will defeat you in a sword duel!” Hera is eager to duel Hans since learning that he is from Duke Voinn's special forces.

“Marchioness? Well thank you Collin. Hans.” Hans immediately helped Anne up and led her to the living room.
“What is it that suddenly Collin always calls the room by the name of a gem?”
“Hehe, indeed since long ago every room in the residence of Duke Voinn was named after a jewel. I was required to memorize it, so Collin always used it so that I would remember the names of all the rooms faster.” He has memorized almost everything, thanks to the help of Collin and other employees.
“Wah, the mining family is indeed very different yaa...” Hera followed Anne and Hans.
The name of the room in each residence varies based on the owner. Most names are based on flowers, wood, animals, colors, or anything. Not all royals use room names, but giving a special name is essential to the security and confidentiality of the residence.

“Anne, how are you? Why do you look so skinny dear?” The Marchioness immediately approached Anne and hugged her when they arrived.
“Welcome Marchioness Verlant. I'm fine, thanks for the attention marchioness.” Anne bowed in greeting.
“Anne, I'm so sorry for what happened to Roine, your mother.” The Marchioness hugged Anne tightly.
“Thank you marchioness. I'm fine now.” Anne returned her embrace.
“Happy glorious afternoon. Mother, this is Princess Hera whom I spoke of in my letter.” Chris was a little surprised to see Hera coming along with Anne, it seemed like she came playing again.
“Greetings to your majesty, I am Marchioness Verlant, mother of Christopher. You are so beautiful as my son told me.”
“Ah, haha.” Hera was a little embarrassed to hear the praise from the marchioness. Even if she knows she is beautiful, of course.
“You must be very tired after a long trip, how about we continue the conversation over lunch?” Collin says that lunch is ready, and suggests inviting guests to the dining room. He is happy to have Collin who is very patient teaching him and always helps him make decisions.
“Wah, very considerate host. Thank you Anne.” Anne is getting older.

“So, what is it mom suddenly decided to come to Terra?” Chris asked as they started eating.
“Tiba-arrived? I've always wanted to accompany Anne here, but your father has always delayed her departure for various reasons. But after receiving your last letter, your father can't stop you anymore.”
“Em marchioness, what about Jeremy?” Anne had wanted to ask this since the marchioness had come.
“He is fine. A few days ago he returned to Crotta, to attend the appointment of new knights. Then go back to look for Verto. He was very upset because he still did not find it.”
“Do you need to add his troops?”
“Ah, no need Chris. He'll be fine. Some were seriously injured, but could still be treated. Fufufu, it looks like your sister is good at hiding Anne.” The Marchioness chuckles to remember Jeremy's puffy face.
“Is it certain that he is still alive?”
“Oh, of course he's still alive Chris. Jeremy managed to find the Verdant citizens who had seen him. It's just that their place is always moving and many set traps. Jeremy is often fooled by all of those traps. Hahaha.”
“Hah ..., thank goodness Kak Verto is fine.”
"Emm are you okay, your majesty?" Chris was astonished to see Hera from earlier agitated in her seat.
"Sister Chris! Be my dance partner!!" They were all instantly speechless at Hera's sudden request.
