The Last Princess of the Kingdom of Verdant
45.
“This is your room Anne! Just tell the waiter when you need something.”
Seeing Anne's condition after meeting Galand, Rein decides to take Anne to rest, although the party still continues. Anne also did not want to see Galand again. He is not ready for all that he has just learned.
“Although Hans will be on guard all night, there will be palace guards who will also be on guard outside your room. Is it okay Anne?”
Brother Chris also this time did not come to stay, but it's okay as long as there are Hans and Hilda.
“Yes thank you Rein, Hera. Ah yes, wait a minute. Hilda, bring me the gifts I prepared earlier.”
“Good miss.”
Hilda brought two gift boxes and gave them to Anne.
“This big box is a gift for Princess Luna, while this is for you Hera.”
“Wah! There is for me too! Thank you Anne!! Can I open it now?”
“Of course.”
“Wow, this is so beautiful Anne! Thank you!”
Hera hugged Anne because she was so happy. This was the first time he had received a gift from someone who was not his family. Ah, naw. His family rarely gave him gifts.
“Honey is not very suitable with Hera.” Parlo is back to Hera.
“Wah you are really! Just say you're envious! Too bad it's not very suitable for you!”
“Hahh ..”
Rein sighed resignedly. It's late and he's very tired of serving his sister.
“Well Anne, I'll give it to Kak Luna. You rest, today must be tiring.”
“Yes, thank you for taking me to my room.”
“Container Anne, have a good sleep!”
--
“Thank you Hilda.”
Anne wouldn't have taken a shower if Hilda didn't help her. Anne had not been bathed since living in Terra, but today she gave up. The muscles of his entire body could not relax at all today.
“Hahh .., I can finally lay down too. You can go Hilda. I'm already going to sleep.” Anne immediately dropped herself onto the soft bed.
“Is it better for me to accompany you here?”
“Please, I can use my magic if I want to go to the toilet.”
In this room there is no extra mattress, and it is definitely not comfortable to sleep while sitting. He did not want Hilda to lack rest.
“Oh, wait for Hilda. Please bring me my necklace.”
It was Anne's custom to always use Rein's magic necklace. But today her servants insist on using other jewelry. Finally he agreed when he learned that guests were not allowed to bring weapons and magic accessories to the party held in the palace.
“Do you need anything else?”
Hilda asked after helping Anne put on her necklace.
“Ehm, not that only.”
“Then I will come out. Good night miss.”
Hilda turned off the lights and walked out of Anne's room.
Clamps
Anne could hear the sound of the door closing as Hilda walked out. Anne lay down while looking at the ceiling of her room.
‘Why have I heard the word married lately? Is it that easy to choose a life partner? Am I too young to get married? Would things be easier if I got married?’
Anne became curious about how her parents got married. Everyone says we should marry the one we love. What does it feel like to love each other? Is it like he loves his family?
Anne's face was slightly flushed. He never imagined loving anyone outside of his family. To make friends alone is already very difficult, how can he find the person he loves?
Given Galand who so easily said she loved him, Anne became upset. Is it possible to love someone who does not love him? He was obviously just lying about his feelings. He should not have believed the words of the man who destroyed Verdant.
“Sister Fricsia ...,”
She has absolutely no clue of her brother's whereabouts, even when she has managed to find out the circumstances of her father, mother, sister Louis, and Brother Verto. At least his words about brother seemed to be true.
He did not expect his brother to flee north. Did he go back to Serene Castle? But they could easily find him, if he went back there. Perhaps her brother hid in the woods and sought help when things were safe.
“Ah ..., I missed my sister's birthday mid-autumn yesterday ...”
It hasn't been nearly six months since he escaped from Serene Castle. They did not even have time to celebrate his father's birthday at that time.
Anne closed her eyes, trying to sleep. But he still couldn't stop thinking. Is it because I am not sleepy? But I'm so tired.
“Hah ...,” Anne sighed softly.
Anne decides to take the doll given by Hera. Taking care of it might help him calm down.
‘Ah, I'm too tired to use my magic.’
Anne decided to use magic from her necklace. It is a pity that all of his magic energy will be used up immediately. But he was already very curious about what kind of magic that came out when it was full.
“Whoaa!!”
Anne did not believe her magic could create this much light. It's like it's daytime!
Tok tok tok tok tok tok
“Nona! Is miss okay?”
Seeing the bright light coming out from inside Anne's room, Hans immediately knocked on Anne's bedroom door to make sure Anne was okay. She was afraid Anne would suddenly be attacked.
“Ah, it's okay Hans. I'm just practicing my magic.”
“Are you sure? Can I help miss?”
Hans was a little calmer, because Anne was fine. But he never saw Anne use this much magic.
“No, no. All is fine.”
Anne returns to her bed after finding her doll. Soon, the magic disappeared.
‘Hm, probably because of its enormous scale, its magic does not last long.’
“What's with Anne?”
Rein who was walking in the garden immediately ran to Anne's room. He was sure that there were no other light magic users among the party guests today.
“Yang noble! Ah that, miss is okay. I just confirmed it.”
“Have you seen Anne's situation?”
“Ti-no, miss Anne forbade me from going inside and said that she was okay.”
Tok tok tok tok
“Anne, are you okay? Can I come in to make sure?”
Many witches can imitate the voices of others. He couldn't take any chances after what had just happened. Anne wouldn't use that much magic if nothing happened.
“Kak Rein?”
Anne was a little sorry for making such a fuss at night. Although it is still not too late and it seems like the party is still running.
Sret
Anne walked slowly to find the door to her room. Rein sounded very worried, he would not leave before making sure directly that Anne was completely safe.
Clamps
“I'm fine, your majesty. Sorry to worry you.”
Anne bowed apologetically.
“Your majesty is everything okay?”
Some of the palace guards also came after seeing Anne and Rein's magic running towards Anne's room.
“A-Anne!”
Rein immediately entered the room and closed the door. He was shocked by the soldiers behind him.
“...?!”
Anne was puzzled to hear Rein suddenly scream in panic. Was he very angry because of the commotion I made?
“Your highness?!” The guards were also very shocked to see Rein's reaction.
“It's okay, I was just a little surprised earlier. You can return to your respective places.” Rein explained to the guards.
“Anne ... hah ...,” Rein sighed softly, not knowing how he should explain to her.
Rein immediately took off his robe and put it on Anne. Fortunately he immediately looked away and because the room was dark he saw nothing.
“Ng?”
“Anne, even if you are a child, you are a woman. It's not good to meet someone just using your nightgown.”
Rein was grateful Anne couldn't see her blushing face. He hoped that the guards would not see anything.
“A-ah ...,” Anne's face immediately flushed red when she realized she was dressed inappropriately in front of Rein. She did know about it, but since she had never met anyone after wearing a nightgown, she became disheartened.
“Ehem. That was, did something happen to you?” Rein immediately switched the conversation, due to the awkward circumstances just now.
