Chapter 101.2: Candy to Cure a Bad Mood (2)
It was probably around ten in the morning already. There really wasn’t much time left—and with Countess Ruth’s sudden appearance, Mepeilu’s once-happy mood had soured noticeably.
“...Let’s go, shall we?” Liana tugged on Mepeilu’s hand. At a time like this, she’d have to take the lead.
Let her be the one to heal Mepeilu’s ruined mood—even just a little. It was rare to get time off, and Liana didn’t want Mepeilu to waste it brooding.
They walked through a street lined with fragrant shops, overflowing with a wide variety of food and specialty goods from all territories.
Liana grabbed Mepeilu’s hand and broke into a light run. They passed cobblestone paths lined with fresh flowers and stopped in front of a transparent domed structure built entirely from frosted sugar.
It was a candy house—created entirely with candy magic. The shop’s owner looked like a girl barely in her teens, using a wand to guide colorful syrup across the sugar dome, drawing a rainbow above them.
“Wanna go in?” Liana asked.
“Mm.” Mepeilu nodded.
After the two of them entered, Loraviel also moved to follow—but Vivian caught her by the hand. “Let Lady Liana and Princess Mepeilu have a bit of private time, shall we?”
“...Mm.”
“Oh my, Your Highness—welcome!” The young girl put down her wand, having spotted the two cute girls entering.
“Hello, Miss Wendy.” Mepeilu looked around with curiosity. This was her first time coming to a place like this.
