Chapter 276 (2/2)
“The wall ahead of us separates the nobles and the co quarters for the guards and servants It also works as a place for merchants to do business Behind the wall is where you’ll find all the nobles”
“How to enter?”
“Allow me to show you Please follow me”
We walked along side the wall and found aas the entrance to the city There hat appeared to be a large ate Guendalfa led us inside The building’s lobby was enorh space to couards and other staff hout The rhinokin led us up to the counter and spoke to a receptionist
“I a Princess We are here to request an audience with my master, Kiara”
“Very well, ill process your request,” said the receptionist “Please allow us to guide you to a private waiting room in the meantime”
Fran’s gaze curiously flickered back and forth as a guard guided us through thebyat our destination
“You see,” said Guendalfa, resuuide, “the royal fa rooes and private rooh as it is, it takes time to process even just one person’s entry request And really, you can’t have nobles lining up outside like at some festival stall, can you?”
The guard stopped in front of intricately patterned door and opened it Inside was the most lavishly decorated room we’ve seen yet, complete with a sofa and two armchairs around a coffee table It also contained a fireplace, an ornate desk with entle sunlight seep through Fran and Guendalfa sat down on the sofa, with Guendalfa sinking a little deeper into the cushi+ons than Fran After a couple minutes, there was a knock on the door Asome freshly brewed tea and a variety of pastries The ed at it Guendalfa did the saether, the two hungry companions devoured the
companions devoured the snacks they were presented in less than a minute
After letting out a contented sigh, Guendalfa once again began to speak
“You really are so Princess”
“Nn?” said Fran, sipping on a cup of tea
“You see, this room was made to entertain people of noble birth Nor in such a fancy place, but you look right at hoht us was soht down like it was ‘nuthin”
“You too”
“Well of course I am a noble, so this much is normal for me”
Fran and I stared
What the hell! He was a blue blood?! How the hell does he still have peerage given the attitude he was going around with?
“What? Why are you so surprised?” laughed Guendalfa “I know I don’t seem like a noble, but my father is technically the patriarch of an entire tribe of beastkin, so I’ status”
After that surprising revelation, a knock came from the door
“Excuse me Madam Fran, Mr Guendalfa, Lady Kiara will see you now”
The door opened and twofor us We followed thee banquet halls and wide ballroo the way
“You used to be able to find her on the practice grounds in the outskirts of the castle,” said Guendalfa “But lately her health is getting worse, so she’s been confined to her room”
“Bad health? Will be okay?” asked Fran
“I’ pretty old But the fact that they let us see her ht”
It can’t be help She’s around 70 years old
“It’s finally time to meet Kiara,” I said to Fran
“Nn”
