The Last Princess of the Kingdom of Verdant
38.
“While their size and location of the kingdom are similar, the Yull Kingdom has a highly developed and stable agricultural and livestock system. They are also surrounded by icebergs, but they can create greenhouse technology so that plants can still grow well even in low temperatures. Conversely, the Kingdom of Wart which has friendly weather is too dependent on natural results and does not try ..”

Miss Kiara instantly stopped when she heard someone knocking on the door.
“Excuse me miss, Mr. Cabel the owner of the magic shop has already come and waited in the topaz room (living room),” Collin said when he entered.
“Thank you Collin, I'll be there soon. Miss Kiara, this class is here. I won't be long, so afternoon classes don't need to be canceled.”
“Good, for afternoon class what if we study outside? Long time ago we did not learn outside.”
“Iya! It'll be fun. Brother Chris also said that Choco cage is almost finished.” Anne answered cheerfully.
Studying with Miss Kiara is never boring. Anne could easily understand and even remember all the lessons without having to bother memorizing.

“Welcome Mr. Cabel, I did not expect to call you this soon, but I would very much like to send magic accessories to my sister as soon as possible.”
“Iya of course miss, I am very grateful miss very much appreciate the magic accessories that I sell. Although it has a very useful effect, the price is very expensive, so only nobles can afford it.”
“I look for accessories with great protective effect, show me the best you have.”
“I have prepared some items, there are necklaces, bracelets, and hair accessories. This necklace was the item Farrol had brought, the rest were from other merchants. When sorted by its protective strength, this blue bracelet is the most powerful, then Farrol's black necklace, this white bracelet, these two silver twin pins, and lastly this butterfly hairpin.”
Cabel explained while sorting the items on the table in front of them.
“I'll buy all this. From bracelets to hairpins. Is there anything else?”
Cabel was shocked to hear Anne wanted to buy all this. Anne still does not know want to give all this to anyone, there is no harm in buying early to give to Kak Verto or Kak Fricsia. He could also give some to the Voinn warriors.
“Ma-there's still a miss, but you sure you want to buy all this?? Even the nobles in Terra are not so interested in accessories with a protective effect.”
“Hmm? What kind of accessories do they buy?” Anne did not understand why protective accessories were rarely sought after by nobles.
“Lordians usually prefer accessories that can make them cast and control magic easily, or that can unleash explosions or magic attacks, even though they do not have magic in their bodies. Protective magic is also usually already on the armor, because it is only needed when fighting alone.”
“Hmm, for now I will only buy this only, you can give the price details to Collin.”
“Ah, do not forget to come back when Farrol has brought new goods.” Anne added.
“Good miss.” Cabel immediately wrote down the price list of the items that Anne bought and wrapped all the items neatly using small boxes.
“Nanny, how about I give that hairpin as Princess Luna's birthday present?” Anne asked as she waited for Cabel to wrap all the items.
“A-mm, it seems like you better give something more precious miss, since this is Princess Luna's maturity party, they will probably open all the gifts in public. I'm not sure of the tradition at Terra, but that's what's commonly done at Verdant.”
“Hmm alright, if one set of jewelry is enough right? Necklace, earrings, and rings maybe? I'll ask Collin later. Then this hairpin is for Hera alone. Hera has given a lot of dolls for me, I will give them later at the party.”
“Nona, this I've wrapped and sorted it as I mentioned earlier.”
“Good, thank you Cabel.” Cabel immediately went to follow Collin to get his pay.
“Nanny, please help me put a sign on these boxes. This blue bracelet is for Kak Louis, this magic necklace is for Kak Fricsia, this white bracelet is for Kak Verto, this hairpin is for Hera, and this gold pin is for Gevdi. This golden pin twin for Nanny, how?”
Anne had already decided to whoever she would give all these gifts to.
“For me?!” Nanny who was busy writing down the names on the card instantly stopped writing.
“Yes of course, nanny has been taking care of me since childhood. I would be very sad if nanny refused this gift.” Anne said in a sad tone, for the nanny to be willing to accept her gift.
“Thank you miss. From now on I will always use it.”
Nanny is moved to see Anne's gift. He looked at the gold pin carefully as he traced each engraving with his finger. The pin does seem to be made for women because it has the shape of a rose. Hopefully, Gevdi will not be offended when he receives this rose pin.

“What miss looking for me?”
“Oh Collin, please come in. I want to prepare a gift for Princess Luna's birthday. How about a set of jewelry necklaces, earrings, and rings?”
“I just sent our mines to the jewelers. They will send the results to our stores in a few days. I will bring you some jewelry sets so that the lady can choose directly want to give which one.”
“Sorry miss, I didn't mean it that way.”
“Haha, I was just kidding Collin. Come on Hans, Miss Kiara must have been waiting for me at the park.”

Anne tapped her chair, impatiently waiting for Hans to return. Today the nurse team is going to Verdant, he deliberately woke up early to make sure Hans did not forget to leave the items he prepared.

Hans knocks on Anne's bedroom door, informing her of his arrival.
“How's Hans, they've left?” Anne immediately asked when Hans came.
Anne hoped her sister would recover quickly and be able to meet soon. Just try there are no troops Wart there, he must have immediately left when he heard his brother was seriously injured.
"Yes, ladies, they're gone. I'll report soon when there's more."
"alright. Then, let's start training today."
Anne was still trying hard to practice dancing in her dress. While there was still time, he was not willing to give up.

“It's good, keep it that way Anne. Arrange breathing to be calmer, so your magic energy will not run out quickly.”
Anne tried to calm down without closing her eyes. Today her magic class with the marchioness didn't seem to go well. It had been several days that he still could not control the movement of his magic, and the training had always been hampered because his magic energy was too quickly depleted.
“Ah!” Anne was shocked when her magic exploded into small pieces.
“Hmm seems to be here today's training. Tomorrow we continue again when your energy has recovered.”
“Good ...” Anne replied excitedly.
“Don't be moody like that Anne, you did well anyway. Prince Reinhardt also had trouble following his lessons.”
“Oh yes? Really?”
“Yes of course, why would I make such a thing? Everyone who is not from the witch family will definitely have trouble learning magic, because it has not been trained since childhood. Jeremy just quit since the age of ten.”
“What does Jeremy have magic elements?”
“Jeremy has wind magic elements, just like Chris. But he had a hard time controlling his magic, so he gave up. It is very impatient, so the wind direction is always chaotic and uncontrolled. I still remember he could make a small hurricane, but instead destroy the surrounding stuff because it is not controlled.”
“Waw I didn't expect someone to make a typhoon.”
“Hahaha. It does have quite a lot of magic energy, but it runs out immediately because it takes it out at once like that.”
“How about Rein? Has the magic evolved a lot?”
“He is focused on training to sharpen the water, he wants to be able to use it to fight. To be like that he must be very concentrated, or the water will return blunt. But he said that he is training not to fight, he will only use it when it is necessary.”
“Hmmm, yes I heard Kak Rein is indeed quite a sword expert. Maybe he was just curious where his magic developed.”
“I remember when he used his magic that day, when you were being crowned representing the Voinn family. At first I was very surprised when I sensed that someone was using magic energy, even more so directed at you.”
“Hm? That's not your magic?”
“Not, although my magic element is also water, I more often control the movement of the liquid that already exists, instead of creating water from air particles like himself.”
Anne had tried to cover up her nervousness that day, but it seemed obvious to Reinhardt.
“Hahaha. Nervousness is a normal thing, you don't have to be ashamed of Anne,” said the marchioness, like being able to read Anne's mind. How could he not notice it when Anne's face immediately flushed like that.
‘Ah funny. Youth is fun,’ he said in his heart.

*Anne was very pleased with Rein\'s attention, but was this just out of sympathy?*
