Baby Princess Through the Status Window

Chapter 109

Fortunately, there was no need to lie in various ways, so Siervian was relieved.

“Come on! Cheer up!”

“Thank you, Your Highness,” Marco replied, his face showing signs of improvement.

‘He’s in this state… poor guy, no, poor Marco…’

Unaware of his own expression, he constantly received comfort from the young princess. Gazing pitifully at her like how he gazed at the mage Tanca, Marco reaffirmed his loyalty.

For the next few weeks, Siervian was incredibly busy.

Of course, it wasn’t because she was attending extravagant balls or similar events. She was busy in a different sense, as she was still too young to make her formal debut in the Empire.

“Are you going to the granary region today?”

“Yes!”

With excitement in her heart, Siervian nodded at Damian. After dealing with the con artists, she had been preoccupied with stabilizing the mercenary guild’s branch. New managers needed to be appointed, and, above all, understanding the current situation accurately was crucial.

Because of this, she had no time to indulge in leisure activities, which left her feeling constantly unsatisfied. That was before the King of Mosae mentioned a place to be visited.

“It must be a really nice place.”

Why would the King insist on the granary region if it wasn’t remarkable? Such thoughts prompted Siervian to inform the Mosae Kingdom of her destination for today.

“Yes, the King brought it up again yesterday.”

“That’s right. Maybe we should invite Prince Abrel to come along.”

Siervian had spent time with Prince Abrel on several occasions since then. Although due to her busy schedule, they had only managed to have a few meals together within the royal palace.

“…Prince again?”

Unlike Siervian, Damian had been caught up in an extremely busy schedule. He was constantly invited to parties and had to attend negotiations to ensure progress.

In high society, formal debut usually took place at the age of fourteen, and participation in official events began around the age of twelve. However, due to his status as a prince, Damian had been participating in such formal events for a long time.

Still, such a tightly packed schedule seemed burdensome for someone so young.

[Damian Elverdotte]
Thoughts: I want to play with Siervian, too! …I can’t let her keep meeting the prince either.

Externally, Damian seemed deeply engrossed in his serious concerns, causing the knight by his side to tense up unconsciously.

“I’ll go with you today.”

Thanks to that statement, Siervian was able to skillfully avoid a problem and asked a question.

“Really? Is your schedule fine for today?”

“…Today, there are only tasks that I don’t need to be present for.”

Observing the knight’s inner thoughts standing beside him, it was clear that what he said wasn’t true. Nevertheless, Siervian simply nodded her head.

It was so great to be able to play with her brother.

“Yes, let’s go!”

With the Crown Prince joining them, their preparations became even faster. The attendants provided by the Mosae Kingdom quickly prepared a carriage for them.

As it was not an official event, they traveled in a carriage that exuded the distinctive style of the Mosae Kingdom.

The carriage had intricate patterns carved on its surface and was adorned with gold, giving it a splendid appearance.

“Do you like the carriage?”

“Hmm…”

Damian was sitting next to her instead of on a horse and asked her.

As Siervian pondered for a moment, she quickly whispered in her brother’s ear, “Actually, it’s too extravagant, and it scares me.”

“What’s wrong with that? Haha.”

Her brother burst into laughter at her unexpected remark.

Siervian was cautious, fearing that the attendants outside might hear her brother’s laughter.

“Hmm, luxury is indeed intimidating.”

She knew the Empire citizens wouldn’t throw stones at her again like before for being extravagant. However, deeply ingrained events and habits couldn’t be easily changed.

Unlike the Empire, which was surrounded by mountains, the Mosae Kingdom had a predominantly flat landscape no matter where they looked.

As they left the palace and the capital, buildings became scarce in no time. Instead, vast fields of wheat gradually filled the landscape.

“Brother, look! It’s all wheat!”

“That’s right.”

It was the first time she had ever seen such a wide area in her field of vision. The landscape seemed to stretch endlessly in every direction, creating the illusion of it soaring into the sky.

“Your Highnesses, we are about to arrive.”

“Understood.”

While they were engrossed in conversation, the attendants from the Mosae Kingdom informed them that they had arrived at the renowned granary region.

The carriage, which had been racing through the fields of wheat without rest, came to a stop at a specific location. The wheat had grown so tall that it reached the height of an adult’s head.

“Your Highnesses, please follow me this way.”

The Mosae Kingdom attendant led them to a small tower-like structure on one side of the landscape.

It seemed to be a place intended for gazing out over the field.

To increase the harvest, there were minimal paths for people to walk through the wheat fields.

Thanks to that, Siervian could enjoy the feeling of being in a maze as she passed through the wheat fields, which had grown far higher than her own height.

The sun, filtering through the gaps, created shimmering lights among the swaying grass.

“If you had come during the harvest season, you would have seen a golden field, it’s a bit regrettable now.”

“It’s beautiful even now.”

“Haha. It’s our kingdom’s pride.”

The place the attendants guided them to was a simple tower made of wood, but the scenery changed dramatically after climbing a few steps.
