And as a supportive bestfriend, I believe that she deserve more than a knight title. Actually she started training late because normally, kid who are aiming to become a knight starts to train from at the very young age while she didn't. So because she lacked time, she have to put more effort than normal aspiring knight.
"But you know Lalaine, the reason why I am brighter than usual is because I am delighted to hear such a good news when I woke up this morning" Hearing the sudden change of topic, I looked at her curiously and stayed silent and made sure to hear every words that is leaving her mouth
The reason is not because I don't want to speak. It's just that I felt like she have something more to say so speaking at this moment is not appropriate.
She's currently not looking at me but even then, I still saw how her tears fell from her eyes. Truthfully speaking, I wanted to ask her whether she's fine or not but since the atmosphere is kind of sensitive right
Actually, I viewed them a little differently before but after meeting the marchioness in person, I realized that it's not the case. Maybe, she just doesn't want to be viewed differently from other ladies or perhaps, she's just thinking about how hard the path that her daughter will be taking in the future.I am not sure but I know, they are just thinking about Blythe when they opposed her decision. I am glad that now that they finally saw her determination, they are fi ally starting to support her"I am really happy. I can't express it by words"Still crying, she uttered these words with utmost sincerity and emotion."But you know what? More than happy, I am relieved""I'm happy for you" I smiled and said these words as soon as I realized that she alread stopped crying.I'm glad that she finally calmed her heart down but seeing her state, I don't think I could let other noble ladies to see her in this state. Her face is messed up
We talked more about other things until we decided to go outside and have fun together. Since this is a nible street, the security her is tougher and higher than any other street. After all, for the people of this empire, nobles are much more valuable than any commoners. And of course, I am different. I don't think that way. After all, I once experienced being an orphan and having no money and power at all.No matter how high my position at this moment,I can never erase my experience on my past life. After all, my current perspective is existing because of my past experience. Having this kind of treatment is great but thinking about my past life, I became more and more against of the current system of the empireAlthough I am against it, as a crown princess and as a future emperor, I know that I wonvt be able to change something about it. Nobles are powerful and I don't have the ability for that so maybe, I'll just try to lessen the value of nobles and the future
Some nobles outside looked surprised as well and rushed on our side"G-greetings your highness" This time, it's not only the noble ladies or madams. Even the male nobles rushed to where I was and greeted me. Some of them are in sweat so i chuckled slightly. Of course, I didn't let them hear those because if let them, my months of making my image good will be ruined in an instant. Bot that these small fry nobles have the ability to ruin me. It's just that they will start some rumors about me having a bad attitude. And obviously, I don't want that."Greetings too and it's nice seeing you having fun in this place. Then, I'll go now" Just like those nible ladies at the salon, I didn't bother conversing with them.There's no point in doing so anyway so I'd rather not for now.With the lead of the store's owner, we went inside of the boutique and as expected, a lot of good and beautiful dresses are displayed well. The interior design is good as well, havi
"That's quite enjoyable. Maybe we should do this more often from now on" Blythe suggested which I nodded as an answer of course. I saw how muvh she enjoyed our time today.Now, we are already at a near restaurant and obviously, we are currently eating for afternoon snack. It's still 3 : 00 in the afternoon so it's quite inapproriate to eat a full meal course so instead, we ordered some desert as a snack and some refreshments juice.She ordered a cheesecake while I ordered grahams. Since itvs quite sunny today, I figured out that eating some cold desserts will be much better than any other desserts.We just finished shopping at the jewelry shopped and directly went here. The jewelries that we purchased was already packed and are currently inside our respectives carriages and was being guarded by our escorts. Although Blythe is not riding her carriage, she still have one so she decided to put her jewels in there"But let's still not include Calix and Rylie
Our hang out ended just a while ago and now, I just arrive at my palace after I rode carriage. On our way back, she dexided to just ride her own because our way is kind of different. After all, the mansion of them are on the opposite rode. She must have felt that it will be hard to go on both way that's why she came up to an idea to just use her own.Truthfully speaking, I am quite tired but at the same time, I am happy and relieved to see her acting that way. At the very least, I managed to cheer her up on our meet today and I also acquired a good news. 'So her parents finally acknowledge her efforts and her passion'I've always wished for her parents to accept the path that she's taking and gladly, they finally did. No wonder her smile felt different today.Her smile felt more sincereI am happy for her progress and I truly best for her best performance for tomorrow's test. I'll definitely support her. Whether she pass or not, I'll still be proud
"Your highness, pardon me but you need to prepare now for the knight's assesment" These words woke me up from peacefully speaking. Obviously, since this is an urgent matter, they must have thought that it's best for them to wake me up than be late on the knight's examination. I opened my eyes immediately and roamed my eyes around to check the time.It is currently 7 : 00 in the morning and the knight's assesment is 9 : 40.'I really am late'Obviously, I have to prepare for hours so I really have to prepare early to have an enough time. It woulld be bad for me and my image to be late on this special day. If I come late, I'm afraid that those nobles would spread some rumors like 'The crown princess is taking the knights easy'. And if they do, my image will be ruined and there's a possibility that knights will view me differently. That will be hard especially I have to recruit some skilled knights and bring them to my side no matter whatI turned my h
Few minutes after putting the gown on, they started putting foundation on my face for my look obviously. Since it didn't take that really long, I was able to get ready on the time of arrival which is 9 : 00 in the morning.The reason why we have to go 9 : 00 is obviously because we still have to travel by using carriage. Well, Dad and I will be riding in the same carriage as what dad ordered. Not like it's an unusual thing though. After all, we are daughter in father in an imperial family. Also, it's not like it's the first time that we go out together."Hi dad! Are we going now?" With a few knights on me, I went to dad's palace ro check on him since it's already the time of arrivalThere, I saw him on his usual royal attire but unlike other days, she is full of badges on his chest side. That are probably his Military awards when he ended a lot of wars when he was still a prince and not yet to succeed the throne. I was told that it's a really valuable awards so
We rode the carriage for a few minutes. The venue where the knight's exam will happen is at the biggest training hall at the empire. It was especially designed for every knights to train at and for ecents regarding knights. It was estableshed at the fourth generation of imperial family and up until now, it is still existing and everyone are using it.As expected, the hall is really big and I can tell that even though I am still inside the carriage. And obviously since this is a big event a lot of people are outside to probably show their support at their family. Well, the only people aside from knights that are allowed inside are viscount and above so they are showing their support by waiting here until their family who is taking a test passes.As soon as we arrived at the entrance, the knights made way for us first before they opened the door of the carriage. Obviously, some of them who haven't seen us are surprised again. Of course, dad escorted me while I
