Chapter 57:

Whether or not they have been the offspring of peasants, commoners, or rural nobles, laying eyes upon royalty was an exceedingly uncommon prevalence in a single’s lifetime.

Definitely, Janice had made a handful of visits to the palace as a childhood companion to the younger princess, however for the then-young Janis, these experiences have been removed from pleasant.

‘One mustn’t exhibit rudeness within the presence of a princess.’

‘Respectful distance should be maintained, and the temper of the princess should be keenly noticed.’

Within the midst of the watchful gazes of her handmaidens and manservants, forging a real bond of friendship with the princess appeared like an insurmountable process.

“Oh… It’s been fairly a while. Your Highness.”

Janice’s awkward greeting was met with an equally awkward smile from Princess Camilla, who nodded in acknowledgement.

“It’s a pleasure to see you once more, Morrela Yeong-ae. It’s been fairly some time since our encounter 5 years in the past.”

Philip perceived the palpable stress between the princess and Morrela’s heiress, and stepped ahead to alleviate the environment.

“Camilla will start her attendance on the academy beginning tomorrow. As you’ll quickly be her senior, I hope the 2 of you may set up a harmonious relationship.”

“Pardon me? Your Highness shall be attending the academy?”

Janice didn’t learn about overseas royals, however the admission of a Calaria Royal into the celebrated Privia Academy was an occasion of near-unprecedented significance, inflicting Janice to instinctively cowl her mouth in shock.

Amidst this, Janice discerned an intriguing anomaly.

“Nevertheless, why do you tackle the princess by her given identify…?”

Even when Philip have been a tutor and held noble standing throughout the Oswald Household, displaying disrespect in the direction of the royal was a considerable breach of etiquette.

With the sacred blood flowing inside her veins, the princess was an individual worthy of respect.

Camilla answered as an alternative.

“In his case, it’s deemed applicable. Morrela Yeong-ae.”

“Is that actually so?”

Janice tilted her head with a glance of incomprehension gracing her stunning options, whereas Lua, who had been taking a look at Camilla with glowing eyes, couldn’t include her curiosity any longer and eventually spoke.

“Are you actually a princess?”

Camilla met Lua’s gaze, and in Lua’s clear, unclouded eyes, Camilla sensed a combination of pleasure and curiosity.

Camila responded with a heat smile and a nod.

‘This little one should be Lua.’

Lua’s relaxed posture and informal gestures gave away that she wasn’t from a privileged background. She didn’t seem like somebody deserving of great assist, like that of the Viscount Oswald household.

‘Lua doesn’t appear to be fazed.’

Lua, who had transitioned from a commoner to a noble academy pupil with Oswald’s sponsorship, displayed no signal of fearing that her newfound standing may very well be taken away.

“Sure, Lua. She actually is a princess. Beginning at this time, she’ll be staying right here. I believed it will be good when you all may spend a while attending to know one another whereas dinner is being ready.”

“Sounds good!”

Lua’s eyes lit up as she enthusiastically accepted Phillip’s suggestion. Phillip handed a gold coin to Lua earlier than retreating to his research to take care of his urgent issues, leaving the three ladies to share a momentary look.

Janice was troubled.

‘…What ought to we do now?’

When Janice and Lua would hang around, it often concerned chatting and munching on snacks in Lua’s room. However now, with the sudden presence of a high-status woman like a princess, Janice felt an urge to do one thing out of the unusual.

Camilla picked up on her contemplative expression and set free a delicate chortle earlier than providing her ideas.

“Don’t fear an excessive amount of, Janice. And also you too, Lua. Beginning tomorrow, I’ll be a fellow pupil on the identical academy. I hope we will all get alongside with none reservations.”

‘Is it actually so simple as she says?’The unique look of this chapter could be discovered at Ñøv€lß1n.

Suppressing her impulse to retort, Janice compelled a smile.

“Yeah, certain factor.”

At that second, Lua, who was being cautious, softly inquired, “Um… Princess, do you additionally get pleasure from indulging in snacks like cookies?”

‘What ought to I do? It appears to be true.’

Pink puzzle items started to interlock inside Janice’s thoughts.

In response, a whirlwind of feelings swept over Janice, ones that couldn’t simply be put into phrases. If compelled to outline it, one may say it was a sentiment akin to “disapproval.”

Janice trembled barely. She yearned to delve into the essence of this emotion that had her in its grasp. Reminiscences of the experiences she had shared with Phillip hovered to the floor of her ideas.

The occasion of being rescued by Phillip from an underground dungeon.

The encounter with a Manticore by the tranquil lake.

Their joint exploration of a dungeon throughout their Journey Membership’s expedition.

Whereas the tally of shared experiences wasn’t in depth, Janice discovered herself involuntarily thumping the ground as she recollected the occasions within the underground dungeon.

‘Come to consider it… I… I moist myself.’

If it was inside her grasp, she would have needed to forcefully delete the scene away. As a sudden flush of crimson coloured her cheeks, Camilla grinned playfully.

“Why this abrupt change? Girl Morrela?”

“Oh… no. Your Highness. I consider perspiration trickled beneath my apparel. I suppose I have to take a shower.”

Janice lacked the braveness to pry into the reality. She faltered, and located herself lined in chilly sweat.

“In that case, Lua will take a shower too.”

Lua clung to Janice.

“Your Highness, you need to accompany us as properly. The fairy queen awaits throughout the bathhouse!”

Observing Lua’s excited chatter, Camilla chuckled with an expression that exuded allure. Regardless of being the identical age, Lua’s aura of innocence and youthfulness painted her as a youthful sibling.

‘A fairy throughout the bathhouse. How cute.’

* * *

“At the moment, a brand new younger one is becoming a member of us?”

Fairy Yuna solid a understanding smile on the group of ladies getting into the bathhouse. She then turned her gaze to Camilla, who draped herself with a towel, and inquired.

“What’s the younger maiden’s identify?”

Camilla narrowed her eyes, revealing the pressure she felt in tolerating such feedback. Although unaware of the lady’s identification, Camilla possessed a resilience that prevented her from flaring out.

“… Camilla Velopair Calaria. The sovereign princess of this realm. And also you, who dares such insolence? A immediate apology is due.”

Fairy Yuna prolonged her hand with a mischievous grin, no matter Camilla’s perturbation or composure. Having acclimated totally to the bathhouse surroundings, she now wielded mastery over the water’s manipulation.

“Oh, a princess, you say? Is it so? Delighted to make your acquaintance. Eeik!”

Water that had crammed the washing basin surged forth, coalescing into hand-like kinds. As these ethereal photos drew close to, Camilla’s visage grew somber.

“Ah, maintain a second. What are you planning on doing? And will I inquire, who’re you?”

The mischievous antics triggered by the fairy couldn’t be extinguished by any unusual means. Quickly, water lined Camilla, and the towel that had encompassed her physique fell to the ground with a thud.

“Kyaaah! Let go of me! Aaaah!”

‘Shouldn’t I intervene…?’

Janice hesitated for a second. Nevertheless, understanding from previous experiences that intervening right here may make her a goal as properly, she couldn’t act recklessly.

“… Lua. Can’t you ask the fairy to cease?”

Lua, who heard her plea, stepped ahead.

“Fairy. Can’t you cease?”

However, the Fairy Yuna continued her prank with out stopping, whilst Camilla begged and cried.

Thrown within the air, spun round, and subjected to varied pranks, Camilla cried endlessly with a soulless expression and begged her.

“Huuaaaah! Aaaah!”

Unable to bear witnessing the depressing sight of the princess, Janice needed to avert his eyes.
