Chapter 41: Failed mission
"Yes, sir?" Blue talked to her team leader as she walked further away from the spot where she was supposed to observe Elliana.
"How is your current mission going? Any progress so far?" The leader asked, and Blue pursed her lips.
Was she allowed to bad mouth the mission given by the prince? Was it okay to talk about it to her leader? They all were his subordinates, after all.
"You can say it, girl. I have done some petty missions myself," the leader encouraged her, and she walked out of the forest on the other side, leaning on a tree casually.
The princess has excellent senses, and she picks up every single noise whenever Blue is following her. So to talk to her leader over the call, Blue walked out of the area the moment she saw Elliana entering the forest again.
It’s not like there was anyone or any harmful animal in the forest that she should be afraid of. It won’t be a problem if she is left alone, right?
The princess just likes to pass the time and play with water from what Blue has noticed so far.
"It’s not good, sir. I feel like I am told to watch some kind of teen drama. There’s not much to do or report to anyone. The prince said that he wanted to observe her because the princess might talk to her human friends and devise some kind of plans, but so far, I don’t see anything," Blue sighed.
"I see. So what kind of character does this princess have? Maybe if I understand her, I can talk to the prince about letting you go. I feel this mission is just a misuse and waste of your excellent skills. You belong on the base, with us," the leader said, and Blue felt even more remorseful.
"I don’t know how to describe her. She is genuinely sweet. I haven’t seen her hurting a fly. From what I have heard her talking to her friends, she was bullied in her childhood at the human palace. Maybe it’s because she is an illegitimate kid?" Blue paused.
"Anyway, from what I can see, she is just a beautiful sweet doll who only knows to give to others selflessly. She is friendly to anyone and everyone who talks nicely to her. Boys are roaming around her because of her beauty. She is not worthy of the kind of suspicion the prince is putting on her," Blue said.
