The Last Princess of the Kingdom of Verdant
34.
“This miss, the total price is 2058 gold coins” The man came back with some boxes tied ribbon.
‘Ah, I didn't expect that pin to be so expensive. How'this? the money is not enough.’
“Please send us the bill to the residence Vininn.” Nanny answered before Anne could say anything.
“Good, thank you miss.” The man bowed in greeting.
“Can it be like that nanny?” Anne asked as Hans led her out.
“Iya of course miss, nobility does not carry money everywhere.” Nanny replied casually.
“Oh, yes. If you may know, what is the name of the merchant?” Anne turned around quickly, looking at the owner of the magic shop.
“The name is Farrol. Farrol Akilanyc, miss.” Answer's short.
“Hmm, okay. Thanks for the info.”
‘Farrol, the more thought I get the more curious this guy is. Looks like he's not an ordinary man.’

“Welcome miss. I've heard from marchioness, you did very well today.” Collin is welcoming Anne's return.
“Hehe, of course Collin.” Anne gave her coat to Collin and walked in.
“How about your trip?”
“Very fun. Oh yes, has my teacher come?”
“Already, Miss Kiara is already waiting in the topaz room along with the marchioness. Do you want to meet him directly or rest first?”
“Take me directly there. Not good make him wait even longer.” Anne is looking forward to meeting her new teacher soon.
--
Anne could hear the marchioness and Kiara talking as Anne entered the room.
“Sorry to have you waiting, Miss Kiara.” Anne bowed slightly in greeting while apologizing for making her wait.
“It's okay miss, I'm the one who should apologize for coming at the wrong time.” Miss Kiara stood up immediately to notice Anne's arrival.
Miss Kiara is the second child of Count Vohna. It was not very tall and had black hair cut short as a shoulder. He was not even taller than the marchioness and was only one inch taller than Anne, probably only about a hundred and sixty centimeters tall.
Rarely did Anne meet a noblewoman with short hair, she could easily recognize her. Anne immediately watched Kiara's appearance closely.
“Include my name Annette de Vininn.”
“Greetings Miss Anne, my name is Kiara Vohna. I will teach miss history, politics, economics, science, and business.”
“Wah, I heard you have graduated from Dellarino Academy in just three years. You must be very smart.”
The Marchioness had told us a little about Kiara before. Since Kiara is not adept at using magic, she decides to study at Verdant's academy. Miss Kiara managed to become the first person to graduate from her class.
“Ah, no miss. There are still many smarter than me.”
“Oh, do you know my brother Verto? Because you guys seem to be from the same generation.”
“Em, sa-i-yes, I know Young Master Verto.” Kiara replied timidly, she did not expect Anne would ask this.
“No need to be too formal to call him young master, aren't you guys friends?”
“Hahaha. Don't push her too much, Anne. Kiara is a very shy and quiet child, very different from your sister.” The Marchioness could not help but laugh at the thought of Verto and Kiara being friends.
“Ah, I am not too close to him ..” Kiara replied timidly and grew increasingly down.
“Hehe, don't be shy, how is the attitude of big brother when in the academy?” Anne chuckled at Kiara's face which was very red with embarrassment, but Anne was very curious about her brother's behavior.
“V-Verto is also very smart ... and friendly .... and good ...”
Hmm, Anne slightly did not believe her sister was friendly. As he remembered Verto often fought and had father called to the academy many times.
“Hahaha, Miss Kiara need not overly praise. Big brother can big head when he heard it.”
“Alright, enough to interrogate her, Anne. Kiara and I will arrange your study schedule soon so you can start classes tomorrow. You must also be tired because of the long journey, you can go back to your room first to rest Anne.”
“Alright, see you tomorrow miss Kiara.” Anne asks Hans to take her to her room. He was too tired to walk to his room.

“Sister Chris! What about Choco? When will it come?” Anne asked excitedly as they were having breakfast the next morning.
“The cage will be ready in two weeks. You take it easy Anne.”
“Ah! Isn't today a letter from Kent coming?” Anne, who was counting the days when Choco could come, realized that it had been a week since they had last received a letter from Kent.
“Hm, yes right. Tonight the reply letter will come.”
“I'd also like to hear the letter directly tonight! Don't forget me again like yesterday!”
“Ahaha .. good Anne, we are only worried about the contents of her letter.”
“I also have to understand the situation we face so as not to misstep. After all I'm already a big boy, soon I'll be twelve.”
“Hahaha, twelve young Anne dear.” The Marchioness could not help but laugh, but she knew all this had made Anne much more mature than before. Too bad he still wants to see Anne acting childish.
“I must today go to the palace to take care of the files that must be submitted to the empire, since Vininn officially became a citizen of Terra. Sorry Anne, I can't accompany you to practice again today.”
“It's okay Brother. I just thank you brother for helping me take care of the Voinn residence. I'll learn quickly to be able to help too!”
“Hahaha, okay. I'll be looking forward to it. I'll go first, you guys just relax finish your breakfast.”
--
All day long Anne kept thinking about the letter.
“Anne? Do you want to learn something else?” Kiara, who was teaching Anne, was confused because Anne could not focus on her lesson.
“Ah, sorry. I'm thinking of something.”
“What's Anne? Did something happen?” Kiara of course already knows what happened to Verdant. Fortunately he graduated earlier this year, and had already returned to Crotta when the attack took place.
“I'm just worried about the letter the search team will bring. They're still looking for Brother Louis and Brother Verto. Hopefully they can be found soon.”
“How about we study outside today? The weather is also very cold.”
“Really? Hilda, please prepare tea and snacks in the garden!” Anne was immediately excited, she indeed needed some fresh air at this moment.

“You called me miss?” Collin called Anne from outside the emerald room.
“How's Collin? Is Chris back? The letter has arrived?”
“Young master Chris was back this afternoon, and was resting in his room. The letter will arrive in about an hour. Do you want me to call Young Master Chris?”
“Hm, no need. Please just tell me that I will wait here.” Anne was impatiently waiting for the letter, and she sat down restlessly and drank her tea. It's the third glass, I better go to the toilet before Brother Chris and the others come.
--
“Oh, you've come Anne. How was your lesson today?” When Anne returned the marchioness also came, but there was still no sign of Brother Chris.
“Fun! Miss Kiara is very kind and teaches very easily. He even let me study in the park today, because the weather is good.”
“Good, if you like it.”
“Wah, you're all already here. I just got the reply.” Chris entered the room with a piece of paper.
“Come brother quickly read it, I'm already impatient.” Anne and the others had gathered from earlier looking forward to the arrival of Chris.
“Alright, I'll read.” Chris sat down and started reading.
"Lord Louis was rescued by the citizens of Verdant and is being treated. He was severely injured and paralyzed. We'll send Mr. Louis as soon as he's better. Kent's been able to infiltrate."
Everyone was silent waiting for Chris to continue, but Chris took down the paper he was reading. Just get there the message.
