Book 9: Chapter 2
“Your Highness, this is your clothes…”
“Oh… right… how do I button this up? Lucia, hurry and help me adjust my cape. My boots, too!”
“Your Highness, I still need to prepare your breakfast… Your clothes haven’t been sent over yet… Aaahh… how in the world do I do this up…?”
Lucia was flustered as she tried to help me with my cape and tying up my boots. I must say, Lucia who’s always been the one looked after, has no idea how to take care of someone else. She volunteered to take care of me, yet she couldn’t wake up when she slept holding me. After I woke her up, she spent a long time searching for her soul. She took ages just to find my clothes for today.
“All right, all right. Your Highness, let’s go… Ah!!”
After struggling to finish helping me with my cape and boots, Lucia let out sigh of relief. She pulled the door open to leave, but then crashed into Nier who was holding a tray, causing the breakfast Nier brought to go flying, thereby covering us in fruit juice. Worst of all, jam got in Nier’s hair and ran down to her cheeks.
“Why didn’t you knock?!”
“Do you not have eyes?!!”
The two of them exchanged angry glares while I let out a heavy sigh. I tossed my cape that took so much effort to do up aside, and then said, “It’s all right. Just make it again. Nier, Lucia, go and clean yourselves up, wash up and whatnot. Call two maids over to clean up here and bring a new set of clothes while they’re at it.”
