The Last Princess of the Kingdom of Verdant
46.
“I used my necklace because I wanted to find something. Excuse me. You gave it to use in a precarious state, but I instead used it carelessly.”
“The most important thing is that you are okay. We only need to fill it again when the energy runs out.”
“And you have come all the way here ..”
“Haha, I'm also just taking a walk. Oh yes, I forgot to remove your bracelet, but it turns out that the bracelet was not detected.”
“While when will enter the party room? Is the bracelet broken?”
“No, I can still feel the magic effect. Maybe because this bracelet only gives a passive effect, and can not cast magic.”
“Hmm .. means this necklace will definitely be detected if I wear it earlier.”
“Haha, yes. Looking at the magic you just cast out, surely this necklace will be confiscated. Are you going to sleep?”
“I'm very tired, but still can't sleep.”
“Hmm, today's month is very beautiful Anne.”
Rein walked open the balcony door of Anne's room.
“Ah yes, earlier I also saw it during the party ..”
Anne recalled her encounter with Galand. It's still a mystery how he got in without making a sound.
‘When I have to get married, certainly not with someone like Galand.’
Rein grabbed Anne's hand and led her slowly out of the balcony. He was a little surprised when he stepped on the cold floor, unlike his room which was lined with carpets.
“What happened Anne? Maybe I can help find and punish that guy.”
“... I'd better not see him again.”
“Did he do something to you?”
Rein didn't check Anne well earlier, was she hurt?
“No, not that. I also don't know if what he said was true or not. I don't know if it's okay to tell you ...”
Anne actually wanted to tell it, but to whom could she tell it? He does not want to trouble others anymore. How long should he rely on the help of those around him? They won't help me at all times.
“You should be ashamed to tell me Anne. I'll help you deal with it.”
In order for her to help Anne, she needed to know what had happened. She hoped Anne would be more open and trusting.
“He said that he was Galand ..., Crown Prince of the Kingdom Wart.”
“Wart? There's no way he can get into the party today.”
“Haha, doesn't make sense huh? But I had to trust him because he knew about what happened back then. He even has my family's insignia, which belongs to Brother Fricsia.”
“You've confirmed Anne? That's really your family's?”
“Already, and it's true it's my family's insignia. He even gave it to me.”
“I'll tell dad and look for him. It must still be on Terra.”
“Will it not be dangerous to catch it? He even said strange things like getting married.”
“Married?! Who?”
“Married him. So that I can return to Verdant, without the need for war. Does he think I'm easy to fool? Still he's the king.”
“Hah! I won't let him see you again. Take it easy, Anne. He won't be able to do anything in Terra. I will send additional bodyguards to the Voinn residence. Or if need ...,”
Rein suddenly hesitated to continue his sentence.
“Atau ..?”
“A-or do you want to stay here as long as we're still looking for it? Of course this is for your safety.”
“At the palace? A-em, no need. I really appreciate your help all this time, but Brother Louis will come next week ..., so I'd better stay at the residence Vininn.”
“From what he said, there's a chance he'll come see you again. Don't let him know about your brother's whereabouts.”
“... Yes of course. Thank you for the help, your majesty.”
“Call me Rein. There's nobody here anyway.”
Long Rein fell silent while still thinking about what they were talking about. Anne leaned on the balcony and looked at the bright moon tonight.
The night wind made his mind clearer. He could be more relaxed after talking about all that with Rein. He should tell Chris when he comes home.
Anne put her robes together again, the night getting colder as they stopped talking.
“Slight ...” Anne could smell the flowers and wood from Rein's body, still the same as when they were dancing.
“You go back inside only?”
“I'm fine. I feel calmer out here.” Although he was nervous near Rein, but he liked it.
“I can still hear the music played in the party room.”
“Wah, your hearing is very good, Anne.” Rein alone could not hear anything, as the party was held in the palace next door.
“Hehe, I hear it often.”
Anne made tiny bubbles of light to see better. The bubbles floated around them like fireflies.
“What about your magic class Anne? I heard that marchioness Verlant is returning to Crotta.”
“Not much. Look at this, now I can make light bubbles in a variety of colors. But purple is the hardest thing I've ever made. How about you, ... Rein?”
“Now I can make water only from the air. Oh Anne, how about we try to make that?”
“Hmm? What is it?”
“This.” Rein opened both of his hands and began to create water bubbles and directed them in front of Anne's light bubbles.
“Wahaha! Rainbow!” Anne laughed at Rein, because the rainbow was reflected on her face.
“Haha, I'm not really sure I'll make it either. Now you can make all colors, right?” Rein shifted slightly to have the rainbow reflected against the wall behind him.
“I've never seen it directly.” Anne immediately made the light bubble even bigger, so that the rain was getting bigger.
“Ah!” Anne was a little surprised because of the cold floor, when she walked to touch the rainbow reflected on the wall.
‘Aaaah, even though I have deliberately not moved, so that the floor at my feet becomes warm. But because I was too excited, I forgot.’
Anne was warm in Rein's arms, but her legs weren't. Moreover, because her dress only reached her knees.
“What's Anne?”
“I was just surprised because of the cold floor. Hehe.” Anne immediately returned to her already warm place.
“Sorry Anne I didn't realize you weren't wearing sandals. Let's just go in, it's getting colder out here too.”
Rein lifted Anne up slowly and carried her. Walking on a cold floor will definitely hurt.
Anne touches the rainbow they made, as Rein walks past her.
“Hm? you still want to see it?” Rein paused for a moment, so Anne could see the rainbow up close.
“Haha, I still can't believe I can make a rainbow! I have to tell nanny later!”
“But don't tell Hera. He will keep asking us to make it.” Ugh just imagined it would be annoying.
“Hahaha.” Anne could already imagine Hera persuading them every time she met.
Pop!
The water bubble Rein made broke, and the rain disappeared. Rein's magic energy was clearly more than Anne's. Her magic ended because she was out of focus, when she saw Anne smiling up close.
“Ah, it looks like my magic is up. Sorry Anne.”
Rein immediately entered Anne's room and lowered her near her bed. She did not want Anne to hear her heart beating uncontrollably.
“Hehe, it's okay. Thank you for accompanying me Rein.”
“Iya. Well then, good night Anne.” Rein helps Anne up and covers her.
“Good sleep Rein.”
Anne lay down and hugged her doll, ready for bed. I was relieved to express all his worries. He could sleep peacefully now.
"Nl." After closing the balcony door, Rein turned off the lights and closed the door to Anne's room.
"Ah, your honor. Is everything okay?"
Hans had been very curious since they were so long inside, but he did not dare to enter and disturb.
"Here, calm down. We just chatted for a minute."
Fortunately there was no one there, just the staff. They would not dare to spread any strange rumors, as they should not talk about nobles carelessly.
"good. Good night, your honor."
