The Last Princess of the Kingdom of Verdant
5.
"Miss let's get up, it's morning, soon we'll go on our way."
"Hm ... Nanny, Anne wants bread with chocolate for breakfast."
"Let's just calm, miss, Vena's prepared. Well let's go wash my face first" Nanny then gave a wet cloth to wash her face and then helped wash her body and change clothes.
"Nanny, when are we gonna get to the border?" anne asked as she got out of the car.
"Maybe tomorrow morning we can reach Miss."
"Nanny, are we going to get there first from Brother Fricsia?"
"Hmmm, I'm less sure miss, since we're taking a different path, let's hope we can meet Miss Fricsia when we get to the Terra Empire."
"Hopefully my brother arrived safely. We're going to Yunne Castle or Porta Castle?"
"Of course the Castle Porta miss, because it's the closest to the east gate."
"Anne can't wait to see her mom and kayak. Has Anne ever been to the Terra Empire before?"
"Of course, Duke Voinn has often gone to the Terra Empire to take care of business there. Miss may not remember, but miss was once taken to the Terra Empire to heal miss's eyes," replied Nanny gently.
"Miss, breakfast is ready. Let me take you in" said Vena, leading Anne to sit on a rock.
"Today Veins have added a lot of chocolate, especially for the lady."
"Thank you Vein!" Anne said excitedly.
“Miss, this I've made a statue of a horse and a puma."
“Ago fast! Hans can make it just overnight.”
“Of course, miss, I'm very good with a sword.”
“Emm but Hans, why is the mummy so small, this is not the same as the dog statue yesterday?”
“Different, puma ears are more round and the shape of the head is also different. Pumas also have larger legs and long tails. After all, Kent is still a child, lady, hahaha.”
“Hey, I've been 20 years!”
“But you are very short, Hahaha.”
“You alone are too tall, 175 cm is already high enough.”
“Average height of our team 180 cm loh.”
“I'll still grow!”
“Hey let's eat soon, so we can get to the gate later tonight.” Veins were tired of hearing their quarrels.
As soon as they finished eating they continued their journey.
“Hans, I'm sitting in front huh. Quickly finish your food.”
“Hmm yes, wait for Kent back new we will leave.”
Today's afternoon was so hot compared to yesterday, Vena immediately regretted choosing to sit in front with Hans, inside the carriage was definitely more shady. Since last night Vena and Lyre had indeed alternated sitting in front with Hans.
“Lyre let's take turns, it's very hot.”
“No need, I'm inside. Here you come in, we're both inside.”
“Hans, please stop for a moment. I'm going back to the train.”
“Hahaha your face is already red, lest you like me.”
“Hey, good. You're too big, not my taste.”
“Uhh, Vein is very cold.”
When the train stopped, Vena immediately got down and went inside.

“Not Miss because Hans avoided the big road and through the middle of the forest.”
“Hans stop, we have to rotate, I see there are suspicious people in front,” suddenly heard Kent's voice from outside.
“Oh okay, is it safe on the right?”
“Aman, I was there.”
“Nona, you must wear protective clothing.” Hans immediately warns Anne through the window of the train.
“Lyre, help me change with pants, you also have to use protector.”
“Good miss.”
Anne and the servants soon changed into more modest and comfortable clothes. After hearing the warning from Kent instantly they all looked even more tense. Are those the Warts or the residents of Verdant? Anne wondered in her heart.
“Sun has started to set, Hans please be more careful and alert because it is dark.”
Nanny warns Hans through the window. Although in front of the train there are lights, but can not see far away. Now Kent goes far ahead to make sure the path to be passed is safe and there is no one.
“Nanny, please bring me the dagger that Brother Louis gave you. We'd better each prepare a weapon just in case.”
“Nona, if anything happens, immediately go on the run with Kent. Whatever happens, even if the enemy is few, the lady must immediately go and enter the territory of the Terra Empire. Vein and Lyre, if we are separated, the main priority is to enter the gate and regroup at Castle Porta.”
“Good Nanny,” Lyre and Vena replied together.
Lyre was busy preparing Anne with a small bag of water, a bag of money, and medicine, while Anne looked increasingly agitated, especially now that it was night and very dark. Sitting down, Anne held Voinn's insignia and a dagger in her belt. When can we meet again, he feels sad not to be with his mother at this time.
“Hans stop, in front there are more people. Looks like we should go back and find another way. Go into the forest deeper, but do not meet the group before, we must go back further to the back.”
“Kent you should immediately bring miss, so that if something happens you can immediately run away.”
“Well stop first then.”
Tok
“Nona, better miss with me only.” Kent approached the window when the train had stopped.
“How about another Kent?”
“It's okay miss, this is just to prevent bad things from happening.”
“Yes, better be with Kent, we'll be fine with Hans.”
“Come on, I help you ride a horse.” Kent carried Anne to ride on the horse and closed the carriage door.
“Hans, let's go back.” After the train began to run again, Kent covered Anne with his robe and began to spur his horse.
Kent rode in front of the train and gave instructions on where Hans should go. That night was very quiet, not even the sound of any insects. Anne only heard the faint sound of an owl.
--
After a long tour, Kent was able to confirm that the Wart troops had reached near them. If they don't move soon, they will be easily found.
“Hans, looks like we can't go straight to the gate. They've been keeping around there and holding people who are going to go.”
“What about the guards of the Terra Empire at the gate? Don't they help the citizens of Verdant?”
“It looks like the Terra Empire has not given any orders, so they cannot help us or attack the Wart army. But they did not allow the Wart troops to enter the Terra.” region
“Alright, it looks like we have no other choice, other than entering the village and thinking about the next step.”
“Come, I'll show you the way.”
They began to go out of the forest and search for the nearby village. Getting closer to the village, began to look at the houses of the residents. Most of the houses they had encountered were already plundered and had been abandoned by their owners. It seems like the Wart troops have already looted the surrounding area and detained the citizens.
“Hans, wait here with miss and others. I'll check the state of the village center.” Kent dropped Anne off and left immediately.

*Oh no\, the Wart Squad is already there. Now how did Anne get to Terra?*
