Val took Meena to Princess Beate the next day, as promised.
Meena's magic moved them both around, so it might be more appropriate to say that it was Bal who guided them and she who carried them.
Princess Beate is in the area known as the Green Detached Palace, where she and her mother, the Third Queen, live with her handmaidens.
They enter through a magnificent wooden gate and walk on a neatly paved path of fine white stone.
'Oh, Bal. Welcome.
When the sixteen-year-old princess noticed that Val had arrived this year, her ruby eyes sparkled.
She was apparently just having tea in the garden, surrounded by her handmaidens.
She looked younger than her age as she was innocently waving her hand and being chided by the maidservants.
She was wearing a lovely blue dress made of fine fabric, a dress that could only be worn by an imperial princess.
''I'm sorry to bother you, Your Highness. This is Vilhemina of Yagami Akira, the same as me.''
Walking over to the fashionable white table, Val gives a brief greeting.
It's a complaint that sounds rude to the royal family, but if it's not this much, Princess Beate complains that it's too formal.
'For the first time, Your Highness Beate, I am pleased to do so. My name is Vilhemina Erde Primea.
Meena, who doesn't know anything, gives a cocky greeting, which puts her in a bad mood.
However, the princess also takes a few seconds to regain her composure, taking into account that the other party is meeting for the first time.
''Nice to meet you. I'm Beate. I've forgotten your full name.''
Meena was dismayed at the prince's outrageous comment with a mischievous smile, and her maidservants chided her for ”Your Highness”.
It was a great shame for a person of high rank, let alone a member of the royal family, not to be able to say his or her full name.
Beate, who is not ashamed, but rather smiles, is indeed a girl who does not understand the common sense of the royal family.
(I think I understand why she's so close to Bartolomeus-sama.)
Meena thought inwardly, but did not show her attitude.
The maidservants' self-introductions would be omitted.
Because they were only appendages of the Princess.
''This is an unexpected visit to .......
Val's words are interrupted midway through by the Imperial Princess.
'Of course you're welcome!
Beate replied with a smile like a beautiful flower in full bloom.
Most of the time Val visited without prior notice to the royal family, but the princess was just as free-spirited as he was.
The maidservants had no choice but to respond.
