The Last Princess of the Kingdom of Verdant
50.
“Do we attack Wart now? They might lose if attacked suddenly.”
“Ahaha, suppose it could be that easy sis...”.
“And he said that Fricsia is in Yull? I'll send some people there to look for him, too. Anyway, let me know soon when you see her again. I'll catch him right away and, and, kill him maybe.”
“Good brother, just relax. Nor is it a match for Hans.”
“Ah, yes. I had to write a certificate so that Hans could follow you wherever you went, and for your servant as well. All right, I won't bother you anymore, take a break.”
–
“This is a document I have read. You just give your stamp for the document you agree to.”
“Good thanks Miss Kiara, just put the documents I have agreed to here. For the renovation of the aquamarine room (Hall room), we postpone it first. We're not having a party anytime soon. Just fix topaz (living room) and peridot (living room).”
“Oh yes, how about the harvest of Pallona region this month?”
“What are the crops? Vegetables and fruit?”
“Because Pallona is a hot region, their average crop is corn, eggplant, and pumpkin. Usually they are sent to five regions in the north and the capital.”
“To now just do it as usual, because such a vegetable can be quickly damaged. I will meet the nobles who take care of the northern region directly to talk about it again.”
“Good miss.”
“Is there anything else?”
“About pet miss-”
Tok
They stopped hearing the knocking of the door.
“Sorry Anne, am I interrupting?”
“It's okay Brother Chris, what's up?”
“Page guards found this in the park, looks like it's for you Anne. I didn't find a letter or anything. Ah, it turns out there's a letter in it, haha.”
Chris walked over to Anne and awkwardly thrust a wreath in her hand. It feels strange, he is not someone who often gives flowers to women. Maybe he should send flowers to Rose once in a while.
“Wah deserves this room instantly fragrant and feels fresh.”
“Hmm, I don't know about flowers. I just know there's roses, emm, and it looks like it's violet? Or lavender?”
Chris looked at Kiara in confusion, hoping she would say something.
“Hahaha, well thank you brother, just give the flowers and the letter to Miss Kiara.”
“Ah yes, I will go out to meet the refugees and the troops that the Emperor sent, do you need anything?”
“No, I don't need anything. Will the army of the emperor stay at Castle Porta?”
After holding the title of Marquis, they now had an obligation to guard the border region, and therefore also all Marquis were bound to live in the border region.
The territory they held was Pallona, which was directly adjacent to Verdant and was where Porta Castle was located. The previous marquis was overwhelmed by having to take care of three border regions at once, thus voluntarily giving the Pallona territory to Voinn take care of.
Because of their present circumstances, the emperor decided to help by sending in troops. The number of troops in Terra was not even five hundred people, many were reduced due to the escape. It was impossible for a Marquis to not have an adequate army.
“Iya, and things are a little chaotic there because there are a few more employees who run away. Louis would punish them more severely this time, and give gifts to loyal servants. Looks like they need to be convinced that the Voinn family, is still rich.”
“They must be still fretting, seeing the state of Kak Louis when he returned.”
“Your clothes are too simple Anne, they can misunderstand. Kiara would agree with me. From now on, always use jewelry, okay?”
“Even when I'm home all day?”
“Gossip between noble servants is also very scary Anne. I'm sure even the nobles at the end of Terra know how you dress. For God's sake, you have three mines in Terra! I go first.”
“Titip greetings to Luke, Brother Chris.”
Anne said quickly before Chris left.
“Hhh .., you also do not need to be friendly to everyone Anne.”
Chris sounded frustrated as he walked out of the room.
“Mr Chris is right miss. To get the respect and recognition of the officers, you should not be too friendly and modest.”
“Alright, I'll try …. But they're all older than me. Even to Collin? He could even be my grandfather.”
–
“I'll see you soon.”
“Only that? Who sent it?”
“There's nothing else miss. In the envelope there is also no.”
‘Hah ..., could this be from him?’
“Do I need to report this to Mr Louis?”
“No need, later I will tell directly to brother. Well, where were we?”
–
“So when will you meet Marquis Wester and Marquis Harrison?”
“Soon, maybe next week. I still have to take care of some important documents regarding Pallona.”
“Are you not going to meet another Marquis in Terra?”
“Maybe later, but I'll start from the ones who have already known Duke Voinn. They should be more easily persuaded, because they have been friends with dad since long ago.”
The next morning, after breakfast, Louis and Chris chat while enjoying their tea in the garden. Anne is also enjoying her morning playing with Choco and Hans. He had to immediately meet the Maquis to ask their troops for help, to be able to carry out his grand plan to defeat the Wart.
“Anne, be careful not to get too close to Choco!”
“Hahaha, it's okay Brother Chris, he just licked me. Choco won't hurt me.”
“Lou, will you still let Anne keep the animal? See how fast it gets bigger!”
“It looks like he never hurt anyone. For now let it go first. Anne also looks very fond of it, she would be sad if she had to part now. Choco was also very calm when I stroked her.”
“Uh, I still haven't dared to hold it until now.”
“Since when have you been a coward like this? Oh yes, has there been any news from Verto?”
“Not yet, but we've already directed the info to our search team who are in the capital together with Kent.”
“Maybe he's not as smart as I thought, haha.”
“Or just be careful because the capital is guarded more strictly.”
–
‘Hmm he won't be coming today right? Tomorrow maybe. What am I supposed to tell Lou? Did I say it when there was Chris? He also knew about the flower.’
“... Missy? So what about harvest festival?”
“Ah, sorry. I was thinking about something else. We certainly have to hold it, but it does not need to be too festive. What is Kak Lou's schedule today?”
“Mr Louis is going directly to Porta to arrange a training schedule and keep watch for the new troops.”
“Will he be back today?”
“It seems not miss. The trip there is quite far because it uses a horse carriage and there will be many things that must be taken care of there.”
Unlike Chris who can get there quickly because of the use of horses, Louis can not travel without a horse carriage. Louis was already used to organizing land and sea troops in Verdant. He would still want to train them himself, although now it is not possible.
“It looks like I should tell him immediately about the letter. Please take me to Brother Lou.”
“Good miss.” Hans immediately came and led Anne to Louis's room.
–
“You are sure this message is from Galand?”
“I can't think of anyone else who might send me such a message. Especially in a suspicious way like this.”
“Good. I can't cancel my departure this time. Looks like you better come with me to Pallona. Do you have a specific schedule in the near future? I'll be there for three days.”
“What is my schedule empty Miss Kiara?”
“You must meet the Countess and Viscountess of Pallona to discuss the harvest festival two more days.”
“They will come from Pallona right? He can come to Porta Castle alone, it will be closer for him too. Right, you can't be away from me for a while. Prepare your goods now, we will leave this afternoon.”
