The Last Princess of the Kingdom of Verdant
42.
“Nona will definitely catch everyone's attention! I'm sure Prince Rein will also fall in love when he sees the perfect lady look!”
Lucy was very pleased with the results of her efforts to dress Anne since morning. This morning they had washed Anne with rose petals and milk.
“Don't overdo Lucy, there must be many more charming than me.”
“At least their dresses will not be filled with gems like you. Hoho, it is a good idea to add ruby in this dress.”
“Hey, do we need to decorate lady's hair with ruby as well?”
“Do not carelessly Lucy, it will certainly be easy to fall if you put it there. After all, there are already hairpins bought directly by prince~ Ah happy, indeed there is nothing more suitable with the lady than a prince~”
Nana was thrilled to hear this when Anne told her about their journey at the park. I don't know how far his imagination has gone.
“Hilda, since the maid's room is quite far from the noble's room, you better sleep in the lady's room only.”
“Iya, yes. Is correct. Miss must be afraid to sleep alone in a foreign place. Moreover, it will be dangerous because there are other guests who will stay.”
“They will stay at another palace Lucy. Hera already said that time, I will stay in the palace where the royal family lives.”
“But miss, it never hurts to be careful. What if you want to go to the toilet? Miss certainly won't ask Hans for help right?”
“Hahaha. Even if I asked for his help, of course he would just deliver. I can now make a ball of light, you also often see it.”

“Nona, Prince Rein has come and waited in front.”
“Iya I'm ready. Lucy please bring my things.”

“Sorry to make you wait for the noble,” Anne bends in greeting when she gets in front of the train. It seemed like they would return using the royal horse carriage like back then.
“Em, your honor?” Is Anne wrong? Why doesn't he respond to anything? Uh, is this Chris's sister? But Collin said Chris left first.
“Ah, Ehm. You ... very beautiful today Anne ..” Rein knows Anne is indeed very beautiful, but she looks very charming today.
“Thank you, your majesty, I've been afraid of the wrong person. Haha.” Thank goodness it's not the wrong person.
“Ah, that, I did not hear your words clearly. Sorry.” Rein immediately grabbed Anne's hand and led her to the carriage, lest Anne see her blushing face.
“Ah, I did not expect we could use clothes of similar color, hahaha.” Anne only realized Rein was also wearing a deep red suit.
“Haha, yes it happens.”
‘Will Anne feel uncomfortable if she says that she deliberately chose a pair of clothes with her?’
“You will also leave right?” Anne asked from the window when she got into the train.
“Iya miss, we will follow you from behind by horse carriage Vininn.”

Anne had been able to hear the festivities from the moment she got off the train. He was a little afraid because this was the first party he attended in Terra, moreover he was alone without his family.
“Hey look at that! That's Prince Reinhardt! But who is that woman?”
He could hear the voices of those around him, though he could not know for sure who was speaking. Everyone's voice was mixed up and made him even more nervous.
“You don't know? That's Annette de Voinn! You didn't come to her coronation?”
“Hah! That blind woman? It must be the emperor who ordered Prince Rein to be his match. He never invited anyone as his partner except Princess Luna or Princess Hera.”
“Iya! There is no way he is interested in women like ‘itu’. Hahaha.”
“Shrink down your voices, how about the prince hear it?”
“Just relax, in the middle of a crowd like this, he can't possibly hear our conversation.” Rein can't hear them, but Anne can.
“Hah ...,” Anne let out a small sigh. He knows it won't be easy to be accepted here, but he has to stay for his family.
“Ah, it's okay.”
“Anne! Waw your dress is so beautiful! People will think it's your birthday Anne,” Hera is coming to them soon along with Chris.
“Thank you Hera, I'm sure you're also very pretty today. Is my dress too much?”
“Hahaha, I was just kidding Anne. This is your first time to join a party in Terra, of course you have to dress up as best you can!”
“Oh yes, where is Princess Luna? I want to thank you for inviting me today. I have also prepared a gift, when can I give it?”
“Gift? We've never received a present at a party like this, Anne. You just have to say hello and congratulations, later when he enters in the middle of the event, along with father and mother.”
“Ah, really?”
“But since you've already bothered to set it up, I'll give it to you later after the event is over.” Rein doesn't feel good for forgetting to tell Anne about this.
“Hey look at that Princess Hera! I didn't expect it to be that pretty.”
“So long time he did not follow social events, I did not recognize him.”
“Who is his partner's man? Is she engaged?”
“So this is your partner today? Forgive me for forgetting that you don't have a partner yet, Hera.” Parlo came to them.
“Hah, how are you? Do you have a partner today?”
“Of course, there is. He was there, with his friends. Oh yeah, did you hear that Hera? People don't believe you can be this beautiful. Hahaha.”
“If you come just to get sucked up, you better just go.”
“I came to greet Anne, of course.”
“See that attitude! Her face could be pretty, but her nature was still bad. There is no way that person is her fiance.”
“Hahaha, do you remember when he attended Sarah's tea party? She tripped on her own dress and spilled all the food on the table!”
“Of course remember! Haha. Since then no one wants to invite him again.”
“What are you talking about?” Hera could not remain silent to hear their words and immediately approached.
“Not anything Princess Hera, just plain women talk.”
“Oh, so you guys are used to talking about me like that?”
“Do you realize what you just did? You can be punished for offending the royal family.”
“Please forgive us Prince Parlo, we can not dare to do that.”
“It certainly depends on Hera, the person you are talking about, whether he is offended or not.”
“I believe Princess Hera is an adult and will not take seriously the nonsense we talked about.”
“Nona Hellias! Keep your mouth sweet, or I'll make sure you never receive an invitation from the palace again. Come Anne.”
“And what a pity, it seems like today is the last time I will be your partner.” Parlo likes to fight Hera, but she is still his favorite sister.
“Hah!, I haven't hung out with them in a long time, it's still the same. In a moment brother will enter, let's just wait in front.” Hera was fed up and tired of the behavior of the nobles.
“Ah, yes.” Anne replied quietly, still shocked by what had just happened. He was amazed to see the way Hera faced them bravely.
“Kak Luna's engagement to Prince Kasius will also be announced today,” Rein said slowly.
“Prince Kasius?” Anne did not believe her hearing, as Prince Cassius of the Kingdom of Crotta had a wife and was almost forty years old.
“Yes, Luna herself received Prince Kasius' proposal. I also still don't understand what he has in mind. And why is he still titled ‘prince’ when married?” Hera is not close to her brother, but who would want to marry an om-om like that?
“That's because his father hasn't abdicated, I just know it.” Parlo always seems to be teasing Hera at every turn.
