The Last Princess of the Kingdom of Verdant
39.
“Mother, Anne. I'm going back to Crotta for a few days, the chairman sent me on a mission.” Chris announced while they were having dinner.
“When will you leave?” Indeed, for too long Chris has not worked, he also can not persuade his friend to this relaxation continuously.
“I have to leave tomorrow morning, because of a long trip.”
“Don't forget to visit Rose when you're there. You guys haven't seen each other in a long time, she must be worried. When are you going to marry her?”
“Mother, I'm still twenty years old. There's still so much I need to learn.”
“Hahaha, don't be shy. Mom was married when she was twenty.”
“Mother, please stop this nonsense. Don't make Anne think that strangely.”
“Hehehe, I'm curious as to what Sister Rose.” looks like
“Ohoho, she's a very graceful and meek woman. I also still touched on why he would accept Chris' application is very shy.”
“Ehem. I'm done, I must immediately prepare for my departure tomorrow.” Chris got up and left the dining room in a hurry.
“Hahaha. Actually Chris does not want to get married in the near future, but he immediately proposed to her because Rose is very popular.”
“Excuse me miss, I just got the news that the nurse team has arrived safely at the border and has left for Verdant with the men sent Gevdi.” Collin immediately came to Anne's notice, as soon as he received the information.
“Thank God, hopefully they can get to brother's place safely.”

Some days it goes very slowly. Anne's been wondering half dead about the news of Louis and his father. He had even forgotten about Choco who was coming in two weeks. Finally the day he was waiting for arrived, the day of the letter from Gevdi would arrive.
His dance practice today was also canceled, so he was able to relax this morning. He could not exercise because of his scuffed legs. Even though he can dance to the end, sometimes he still falls. He will continue training until he can dance perfectly.
‘Could brother have been cured? Or even sister is already on her way here?’
Anne was daydreaming while enjoying her tea in the garden. For a long time he did not relax like this, drinking tea in the morning was more pleasant than the afternoon. Usually he always busy himself, so that time feels run faster.
Anne closed her eyes and tried to enjoy nature. He was happy to still be able to feel the coolness of the morning dew, the chirping of birds in the distance, and the gurgling sound of fountains in front of him.
‘Hopefully this letter contains good news. Brother Chris is also still not back, even though the dance party is next week. What should I tell Hera if Brother Chris can't come on time?’
—
“Let's quickly read Collin, we're ready,” because everything has come, Anne felt no need for further ado.
“Good miss.” Collin stood in the middle of the room and began to read the contents of the letter that Gevdi had sent.
“Thank you for the pin miss. Mr. Louis can leave in two weeks. Magic paper is two. I like the pin. Roses are my wife's favorite. Mr. Louis also likes his pins.” Collin read out the letter that had just come.
“Gosh. The letter is getting shorter. And try to explain why half is about pin!” The Marchioness still does not understand why her sister-in-law, Zethor (father of Anne) could choose her to be the leader of her army at Terra.
“So will be home!! Hahh.. Thank goodness, it means that brother's wounds are not too severe, right?” Anne only cares about her sister coming home soon, though she is also happy that Gevdi likes her gift.
“Iya seems so miss! We need to start preparing rooms for Mr. Louis. I'll have a banquet full of his favorite food.” Nanny was also happy to hear this news.
“Ah, we also have to send magic paper again. I'll have Chris bring you back from Crotta, because no one's selling it in Terra. Please tell them we will send it next week.”
“Hm, two more weeks means after Kak Luna's party. Do we need to send a horse carriage? Big brother might be hard to ride a horse.”
“Cannot miss, to send nurses alone is already very difficult and risky. The horse carriage would be too conspicuous. They would probably change their horse saddles so that the young Master could sit more comfortably. They will write it if they really need a train.”
Hans understood Anne's concern, moreover, that Mr. Louis might be paralyzed. Although Gevdi said they could leave in two weeks, Hans felt Louis' injuries were severe.
“Nah Anne's. Since Collin has already read out the letter, you should go to bed immediately. Tomorrow we continue again.” The Marchioness helps Anne stand up and asks the nanny to take Anne to her room.
“Alright, I entrust the reply letter to you Collin. Good night,” Anne said before leaving the room.

“Good miss! Today you can finish two dances without falling.”
“Let's rest first miss, you've tried hard today.” Nanny helps Anne to sit back and rest.
“Hehe, thank you nanny.”

“Excuse me miss, Prince Reinhardt came and I've delivered to topaz.”
“Prince Rein?! Ah, em, miss! You must change clothes immediately!” Lucy immediately panicked to hear Rein's arrival.
“Kak Rein's? What's suddenly coming here? Okay, thanks Collin. I'll be there soon.” Anne did not look too surprised anymore by Hera's or Rein's sudden visit.
“Let's miss, I'll take you to the room. Nana, go get your lady's clothes ready, I'll lead miss.” Hilda immediately took the initiative of leading Anne to her room.
“I-iya!” Nana who was still bearded in shock immediately ran towards Anne's room to prepare Anne's clothes and jewelry.
--
“Sorry Anne, if my arrival interferes with your activities. Today I happen to be free and plan to go to the town square this afternoon.”
“Wah view! Prince Reinhardt even looks handsome in disguise!” Anne could hear Lucy whispering to Nana.
“It's okay, I'm used to Hera's arrival. Anyway, I'm very happy when a friend visits. I'm not busy either, my dance practice has just finished.” Anne actually still wants to practice again, but she can continue tomorrow.
“If you are free, would you like to take a walk to the city with me?”
“My? Um, I seem to have to ask permission from the marchioness first. Hilda, can you ask the marchioness?” Anne did not expect Rein to come to take her to the city.
“Good miss,” Hilda answered briefly and went straight to find marchioness.
“Is this your goal to visit today?”
“Ah, no. I was bored and wanted to go around town. Suddenly I remembered that I had not thanked you for your gift. So I decided to stop for a while.”
“You don't need to thank me, I just feel the need to reply a gift from you. Do you like the prize?”
“Of course, this bracelet perfectly suits my taste. At first I thought this was just an ordinary bracelet, but I felt something when using it. After reopening the box, I realized there was a magic certificate paper in it.”
“Hehehe, I'm glad you like it.” Anne chuckled as she watched Rein tell her excitedly.
“What about your practice Anne? I heard from Hera, it looks like you're a little trouble.” Rein was looking forward to the dance, but he didn't want to make Anne feel depressed.
“Let's relax, I'm fine now.”
“Sorry to interrupt, your majesty. If you want to dance with miss, there are a few things you need to know.”
“Ah yes, please describe Hans.” Rein listened carefully to Hans explanation.
“Excuse me miss, marchioness says you can leave as long as you bring Hans and at least a waiter you.”
“Then prepare my belongings Hilda, you will go with me this afternoon.”
“How about we practice dancing together? Later after the new lunch we go to the city.”
“Eh?, you sure?.” Anne answered nervously in surprise.
"Why not? I need to practice what I just learned, right?"

*Anne is happy that Rein comes to visit and often accompanies her\, is Rein indeed used to being friendly to other girls?*
