Chapter 67: 040 I Out to Enjoy a Festival -3 (Part One)
It was the death anniversary of a woether The location was the garden found within the imperial palace
The ceremony itself was simple, sombre, and quiet
Kelt, Luan, and myself stood before the woman’s statue and offered our silent prayers The ceremony itself was brief; it ended quickly and everyone went on their oays
However, I re at the statue
Harman addressed me frohness”
Stunned by that revelation, I took a deeper look at her statue
That’s right… I did hear about her She was the Crown Princess Consort, and the mother of the currentthe Seventh Imperial Prince from a Vampire’s sneak attack
She was also apparently the most pure-hearted and kindest person as well
I stared at the statue erected above her final resting place and offered one more silent prayer
After the ceremony ended, another week flew past us
By then, the festival ell and truly over Mother’s anniversary had also cos would finally settle down, but no
“We huhness, the I up and…
“Do you still rehters of noble houses also kept popping in and out too, and…
“Ahaha! Your highness, please forgive us for this intrusion, but we’re here to ask you some iic…?”
…And even Priests and Magicians showed up to pester me
Besides them, even tutors meant to drill the ways of etiquette, aristocratic refinement and history into me, stood in a proverbial queue outsideif I wasn’t interested in taking up swordsle day was packed to the bri on this… cake, someone else had to test my food first before I was even allowed to touch it
My life in the palace so far has not seen one single peaceful day
Ah, ah… I already feel ravekeeper
Only at night would I get to enjoy soainst the balcony and letting , Izombies or Vampires would’ve been so uys were considerate enough to get killed and leavehuto nored me and pretended that I didn’t even exist
My head was pounding; it was getting harder and harder to endure physically and est brother, Allen Olfolse!”
There was also this dude busy wrapping his ar shoulders, too I turned my head to the side and frowned at the First I around a wine bottle next tothe ti his full health
Probably because of his reborn taste buds, he had been ordering all sorts of rare and delicious cuisines, as well as fine liquor to gorge hi in soht too
While so a real blast, weren’t you, buddy?!
“…Brother, please knock before entering someone else’s rooies In any case, isn’t the life in the i for you?”
Challenging, you say?
Don’t even ht not have been as bad but since I wasn’t afforded even aaway froroan and responded “Honestly? I’m exhausted”
“Haha! Is that so?” Luan checkedan envelope towards me “How about this, then? Run a simple errand for us, and in the process, refresh your spirit too”
“An errand?”
I took the letter On the cover were the words [To Hilda]
Luan continued yapping away “Hilda’s territory is located in the northwest of the e on Isn’t that the o?
Now that I thought about it, this name was also familiar, too For sure… this was the First Imperial Princess’s name, wasn’t it?
“Why don’t you pay her a visit and say hello?”
Luan estion with a rather smooth smile
