The Last Princess of the Kingdom of Verdant
51.

“Hmm ...”
“What documents did you read from earlier?”
Since departing from Yunne, Louis and Chris have been busy examining the documents they brought. Anne, tired of seeing them, finally decided to ask directly.
“Hm? This is the list of knights that the emperor sent yesterday. There were over a hundred people, but it seemed like it would still be less to be able to fight Wart.”
“Didn't the emperor send them to guard the border?”
“Indeed. The Emperor deliberately sent them on the grounds of border security, but in fact they were sent to help the war with the Wart. This is only so that the nobles do not suspect the emperor is supporting us.”
“Emperor himself said it?”
“He already said it before sending the troops. They have also been informed of this and voluntarily registered to be sent to Pallona. So take it easy, Anne. Oh yeah, I heard you're still learning magic?”
“I just practiced a little bit. Since aunt is returning to Crotta, my magic techniques have not developed much.”
“It's okay, I really want to see it. There are rarely any light magic users. Can you show it?”
“Currently I can only make some small light bubbles, like this.”
Anne raised her hand and made three small bubbles of light, blue, yellow, and red.
“Wah, this doesn't look easy at all Anne. You must have trained it so well that you can easily make it.”
“I'll come back to help you too occasionally. Your magic will probably be of great help someday.”
Chris had forgotten about Anne's magic lessons because she was so busy helping Louis lately. It was he who introduced Anne to magic, so he felt a little responsible for teaching Anne to be adept at using her magic.
“Haha, it's okay Brother Chris, I know brother is very busy lately. How are uncles and aunts in Crotta?”
“They are fine. I told you about our plan and sent Jeremy back to Crotta.”
“Good, Brother Jeremy must also be busy after graduation. Let's just hope our plan goes smoothly and Brother Verto can be found quickly."
“Hmm .. yes. Today you look different Anne, will we have a guest?”
“I told him Lou. Anne always dressed modestly. I think this is why Porta employees doubt the state of the Vininn.” Family
“Hmm, great idea Chris. I thought it was Nanny who scolded you Anne. I'll have Collin send some more jewelry sets to Anne. You are perfectly matched with blue, it is a pity that there are no sapphire mines in Terra.”
“Red also in my opinion fits perfectly with Anne, making her look more assertive and bold.”
“Haha, right. Blue makes it look more innocent and innocent. You need to change your necklace, Anne. It's too simple.”
“But I really like this necklace. Moreover this is a gift magic necklace from Prince Rein.”
“Reroy Reinhardt? Why would he give you a necklace? Chris, is there something between them?”
Louis looked at Chris sharply. Anne was too young to be in a relationship with anyone. Why would Chris let her get close to Anne?
“I don't know anything. He doesn't seem to have any ill intentions.”
Chris shook his head while shrugging his shoulders, not wanting to be blamed. Obviously, there was nothing between them at the time.
“It's not like that brother, I just really like this necklace. Moreover, this necklace can store my magic power, to be used in times of emergency.”
“Good. I will have the craftsman modify it, it is too plain.”
“I'll have the courier take her when we get to Pallona.”
Kiara immediately proposed before Anne could argue. He agreed with Louis' decision. For days she had asked Anne to change her necklace, but it was always ignored.
The atmosphere turned silent again and Louis went back to reading his documents, looking for anything suspicious from the people who signed up.
“Hoaamm ...”
“Haha, sleep Anne.”
Louis laughs at Anne's yawn, reminding him of Chris' story of how often Anne fell asleep on the way.
–
“Gosh, should they answer so loudly like that?”
Kiara gasped in shock while styling Anne's hair. Almost dropped the comb. They hadn't even had breakfast yet, but were already so excited like that. It was already at dawn that they started training, and woke up the entire contents of the Castle.
“Hahaha, will their spirits last after a week of training? Our troops at Verdant have always been upset by Louis' training. Even Brother Verto would not follow their training.”
If they are not awake, they exercise, then stay awake again, then practice again. They alternated standing and training throughout the day and had only one hour of rest per change of position. It seemed like their break was precisely when they were on guard.
“Didn't we really need this army? What if they resign?”
“It is better that they resign now, rather than get injured or even die on the battlefield. A hundred skilled knights could defeat a thousand weak knights. That's what Lou always said. He actually has a very delicate heart and always mourns the victims who fell during the war.”
“Seeing the casualties one by one will also greatly affect the mentality of the entire team. Their spirit to fight will be greatly decreased and make them unfocused when fighting.”
Anne continued, while recalling the war with Yull last year. Verdant's forces had a much larger number than Yull's, but as they were unable to cope with the weather differences there, many casualties were lost. They did win in the end, but Louis did not even want to come to his victory party.
“Well, I hope they understand Mr. Louis's goodwill. Which dress are you going to wear today, miss? Green or red?”
“Yang green only. The red dress is too fancy. I don't want them to think of me as arrogant, but also don't want to be humbled by them.”
“Good choice miss.”
Kiara and Hilda immediately help Anne put on her dress. This time Anne only took Hilda because of her very hasty preparations and because she felt she did not need to bring many servants. Nanny was also now busy as the chief aide in Yunne.
–
“Kak, will they be training all day? Every day?”
Anne asked Louis when they had breakfast.
“Hmm, looks like they won't be able to. So for this month I will give them five days of practice, a day off, and a day without practice. What's up Anne?”
“This morning the Countess and Viscountess will come. Is it okay they saw the training of the troops?”
“Alright, I'll move their training to the back court. Anyway show our troops, maybe it'll be better. But since you guys are going to talk about many things, I will tell them not to be noisy.”
“Thank you brother. I'm also worried they'll be exhausted.”
“Don't overdo it, they are Terra knights. If this is all they can't do, they better not have to go to war and keep watch in the castle.”
“Ahaha ..”
Chris laughed awkwardly. Do not let him be told to follow the exercises as well.
–
“I did not expect that this castle belonged to the Voinn Family, all this time I thought it belonged to Count Tulle”
“Hoho, no, we never said anything like that. You guys are assuming yourself.”
“Luckily we decided to go together, it would be very awkward alone with young lady Vininn.”
“Yes, I heard he was blind too. Can we talk about this festival with him? Isn't he too young?”
“If Marquis Voinn ordered it himself, it seemed he could. We'll see later.”
“If indeed he can not, most as usual we will take care of everything. No more need to discuss with someone who will only trouble.”
Clamps
The carriage door opened and a guard reached out his hand to help them get off the carriage.
“Please down madam”
“Thank you.”
Countess Tulle got off the carriage gracefully, followed by Viscountess Restalla behind her.
“Welcome Countess and Viscountess, introduce me Annette de Voinn.”
Anne smiled faintly welcoming them in front, after they got off the carriage.
