Chapter 398: A Certain Girl and the Royal Banquet 2 (side: Miria)
“Meltia-sama and her companion, is it? This way please.”
As we arrive at the castle gate, a soldier on watch bows his head towards me and Meltia-san. But although he smiles towards Meltia-san, he then thins his eyes towards me, seemingly finding me bothersome.
While we’re led through the castle courtyard by a soldier, I quietly talk to Meltia-san.
“…Didn’t it look like I was being treated as a nuisance?”
“…Right, well, apparently most people don’t bring an attendant. A servant would be one thing, but it’s possible that there’s no one else who's bringing someone who is so clearly another adventurer. I haven’t gone to this sort of event before, so I have no one idea what’s common sense or the standard etiquette.”
“I want to go home…”
A joking complaint escapes my mouth. I shake my head to drown out my timidness. This is no good. I need to curry favour with Princess Chris-sama.
I’ve heard that even scholars are unsure whether Princess Chris-sama is an unthinking fool, or is a prodigy who sees further into the future than anyone else.
I think she probably isn’t the former. But I don’t know if she’s the latter.
