The Last Princess of the Kingdom of Verdant
48.
“Thank you Chris, for helping and accompanying Anne all this time. If there was no you .. somehow Anne would be what it is now.”
They returned to chat when Anne returned to her room.
“No problem Louis. It's not a big thing. I'm also very worried about Anne and all of you. He will probably adopt all of you right away if uncle is not around.”
“Marchioness is really good. I'll take care of Voinn's business and residence again, sorry to trouble you.”
“Haha, I also learned a lot from Collin. He is a very reliable waiter.”
“How are things in Crotta?”
“We've negotiated it, but I'm not sure the king will help. But my group will definitely help as much as we can, even if our numbers are not too much.”
“I would really appreciate Chris. So ... what happened to Jeremy?”
“Ehm, actually I don't want to tell you either. Jeremy is actually back in quite badly injured. Fortunately, he had no broken bones, but he had many major injuries and lost a lot of blood. Because this is also the mother immediately returned to Crotta.”
“Sorry Chris, we got your family involved. If you need anything, just tell me. I will definitely help.”
“Ah, it's okay Lou. It's getting better now. Mother also said she was conscious and very chatty at home. Looks like he does not feel at home continue.”
“What are the Wart troops that attacked them?”
“Iya true. Looks like they think only Verto is alive. They've got Fricsia's insignia, killed the duchess, and believe you've been killed in the war.”
“And they don't know where Anne.” is Louis continued.
“Ehm, they already know Lou. Has Anne not told you about Galand?”
“Who?”
—
“A-Anne ... what is this?” This was the most amazing surprise since he came. Since when do they have pets like this?
“Ahaha …. This is Choco brother. Greetings ...” Anne smiled awkwardly.
He forgot to say this to Louis. Choco came at an inopportune moment. He hasn't told me about Galand either.
“Sorry Louis, I can't prevent it, especially when mom also approves.” Chris had tried to get in the way and suggest other animals, but Anne was a little stubborn.
“Choco is very good Brother! He will not attack just anyone! I even brought the coach along.”
“But he has to be taken out when attacking someone, okay?”
“... Alright.” Anne sighed.
The decision to keep Choco is indeed very risky. But he often heard that there are those who raise wild animals, he will also feel safer.
“Uncle, is this puma tame?”
“Already sir, he is very timid and reserved. But he is better because he knows me.”
“Anne, you can't find Choco if there's no coach okay?”
“Iya! Hans will also always be with me, take it easy.”
“When can I pet it uncle?”
Anne asked when they had already put Choco into her new cage. Louis and Chris have also re-entered because there is still a lot to talk about.
“When he wants to receive food from your hands, he already believes in you. When it is used to your presence, then you can stroke it. But for now you better see it from the outside first.”
“He must have been very scared because he just came. He was still watching around his new cage. This place must feel foreign to him.”
Hans explains to Anne who can't see clearly what Choco is doing.
“Because Choco is a male puma, it attaches great importance to its territory. It's good if he is not given a cagemate for a while.”
“Will he not be alone here?”
“Puma is not an animal that lives in groups. They live only with their families, and will be separated when they grow up.”
“Just calm down Choco, I'll be your friend!”

“I heard there are famous nobles who always carry their milk teeth in order to meet with fairies! Though he was already a knight, hahaha.”
“...!!” Verto directly checked the sack of his robe.
‘Did someone take my teeth? Ah, there's still. Then how can they be …? Shit!’
Verto swore in his heart when he understood what was going on.
“It turns out not all nobles are smart huh! Fairy has been extinct from this continent since centuries!”
“Hahaha,” a group of middle-aged men burst into laughter at a small restaurant.
BRACKET!
“Where did you hear that!” Verto stood up and approached them.
"Why? Is that guy you? Hahaha.”
“Who are you?!”
“I'm just a regular trader.”
“Please see for yourself. I just came here yesterday.”
“See this, he is a merchant from Wart, but why is your skin so white? No white people on Wart.”
“Hahaha, he must be one of the merchant children who never sailed. Kids today are too pampered!”
“Iya, yes. So where did you hear this?”
“Hm, just be from his friend friend my friend.”
“Hahh .. this.” He sighed and immediately took out his money bag.
He doesn't have much time for something like this. He immediately put some money on the table, even though he did not have much money at the moment.
“Hahaha, you are indeed very good at doing business! I heard it from someone who came to the tavern near the palace a few days ago.”
“Hei! You don't want to drink with us?” They called out as Verto walked away.

“Has the lady memorized all the great nobles in Terra?”
“Yes, there are five dukes and eleven marquis. They were the sixteen nobles who played an important role in Terra. For nobles with the title of count and viscount in Terra, there were over a hundred families. As a seventeenth marquis family, we must play a part in maintaining the economic balance and must send at least one hundred knights to enter the imperial army of Terra.”
“Yes, very good Anne. Is there anything you want to ask about Terra?”
Clamps
“You can ask directly to Brother!”
“Oh, Hera!”
“Sorry Anne, I can only come now. I've been trying to escape the palace since I heard that Choco has come!”
“Hehe, thank you for coming your highness.” Anne stood up to greet Hera.
“You're done Anne?”
“Iya, already. We'll continue tomorrow, Miss Kiara. Thanks for the lesson today.”
“Oh, yes. I heard your brother has also come, huh? Can I see him?”
“Hm? Sure oes. He must be in his study.”
“Hehe, I heard he is very handsome huh?”
“Of course Mr Louis is very handsome! It is very similar to duke!”
“Marquis.” Anne corrected Hans. I don't know why he always forgets about this.

Collin knocks on the door and announces Anne and Hera's arrival to Louis.
“Mr Louis, Miss Anne and Princess Hera are coming to meet you.”
“Please them enter Collin.”
“Welcome Princess Hera. Sorry I did not welcome your arrival.”
Collin immediately approached Louis and helped him to stand up so that he could bow and greet Hera.
“Ah Mr. Louis, you do not need to greet me.”
Hera did not expect Louis to give a formal greeting even if he was paralyzed. In Terra, a paralyzed person is not obligated to greet. Especially because of his sudden arrival, so of course he did not come to welcome him.
“How could I not greet our first glorious meeting.”
“Wah Anne, you are very lucky. Your brother is very handsome and kind. Looks like all your relatives are very friendly and kind.”
“Ah, you just haven't met the others .. haha.” Hera must have been disappointed when she met with Verto and Jeremy.
“Can I see you up close?”
Without waiting for his answer, Hera immediately walked forward to see Louis even closer. He had never seen such a beautiful man.
Compared to his brothers who had a firm and fierce look, Louis's face looked very soft and refreshing. He will never get tired of looking at it. It was only fitting that Anne was so beautiful, their faces were so similar.
“Ehem, alright.”
“Wah, wahh ..” Hera clenched her hands with all her might. He could not bear to touch that silver hair that looked so delicate!
‘This is what a real prince looks like!!’ Hera shouted in her heart.
Compared to her sisters, this was an angel! Especially with her long silver hair up to her waist. It was a pity that he tied his hair because he was working.
‘See those long, plump eyelashes! Her eyes are green!’ Hera could not stop praising the figure before her.
“ini is a masterpiece! can I make a sculpture or a painting of you?”
“A-what?”
Louis who could not stand any longer finally sat down in shock at what Hera had just said.
