Chapter 10: The National Foundation Day (3)
"I did not call you for any static cause, but simply because of my personal curiosity and fellowship. So there is no need to be nervous."
Princess Lobelia, who was surprised earlier, looked at Adilun with a kind smile and said.
"What do you mean by personal curiosity and fellowship, Princess?"
"That's..., I need a friend. Oh, I know it would be burdensome to say this out of the blue, right? But it's because I've never had anyone who I could call a friend. So it's always just people who come for political purposes every time."
At her words, Adilun and I couldn't hide our bewilderment.
Why does she suddenly want friends?
To Lobelia, who says she needs a friend before getting to know each other properly, the answer we can give is 'It's difficult.'
"How can we dare be friends with Your Highness the Princess?"
When Adilun replied to her in a rather cold tone, Lobelia laughed, saying she knew it.
"Ah, it was just as I expected. Princess Rodenov, you really felt like someone from the cold north, but I really like you because you matched my expectations."
"...Yes?"
"I had a longing for the North from the beginning. The cold snowfield and the people who live against it. And the legend of Altair, the ancestor who protects the North... In short, the more I heard the legend about the ancestral dragon Altair and North, the more mysterious and beautiful it becomes, so I really wanted to go to the North at least once."
