Chapter 153: Perhaps it’ll be good to start paying attention to the papers
Do you know carriages could be convertible?
I didn’t. But still I stared at an open carriage, when I was sure it was a closed one before. Hmm...
Before I could marvel at this newfound fact, the sudden realization of me riding that carriage came, and I tried hard not to fiddle with my tunic in nervousness so as to not crease it.
Because...by God--looked at all those demons. The citizens gathered outside the field, flanking the road that the carriage would take so they could see their Lord.
And I was supposed to sit beside him.
"Are there usually this many crowds during Lord’s visits?" I asked Opti and Arta, trying my best to sound normal.
"Not really," Arta answered me while fixing my clothes. "It’s an annual occurrence, so there were usually crowds, but not so much. They knew His Lordship would come to visit their region anyway."
"Huh..." I peeked at the crowds behind the carriage. I didn’t know how many demons lived in this city, but it felt like most of them were here. There should at least several hundred demons there. "So why are there so many this time?"
"Why, it’s you," Opti said while leaning on the carriage I was supposed to ride with Natha.
"Me?"
Opti smiled mischievously before explaining. "It’s because you’re here, Young Master," he winked. "His Lordship announced his future spouse after decades, of course they would like to see what you looked like with their own eyes."
