Chapter 317
Settled on her shoulder, Marianne closed her lids to breathe out the exhaustion making her overthink. While the busy sound of people could be heard as the carriage moved through the streets of the Capital.
The buzz was louder than usual and at a tired sigh of the Lady, Paige, the maid who had stiffened awkwardly at the Lady’s actions, after a while told composed the motives behind the noise.
"... Preparations for the Festival are currently being taken care of. Please do not mind it, Miss."
’... I see... Gosh, I don’t even want to take a peek if that’s the case.’ — She inwardly said to the young maid, sighing once again, this time longer since the event also concerned her. — ’I might actually develop stage fright if I get a glimpse of some stage or the square...’
Truly light frown could be seen in Marianne’s visage thanks to the little distance from the servant. Hence, considerate to the exhaustion of her Master, Paige also sighed lamenting the efforts she would need to undertake during the Summer Festival, coming to speak one last time, softly to comfort the Lady.
"People has been joyful solely to think you have appeared, my Lady... No matter how the event unfolds, the mere sight of the Chosen Ninth will please their hearts. Rest during these last moments of our travels... I am to guard thou peace and support for thou crown, dear Master."
"....."
The trouble softened in the Lady as she comfortably rested with fond content in her friend’s shoulder. Closing her lids with the calmness this time Paige allowed.
’Thank you, Paige... Though, just "Lady" is fine... Since I know you would faint if I ask you to call us by name, haha.’
The carriage moved unbothered by the leisure lived within its doors, taking the passengers surely to their royal destination... Completely unharmed. Thanks to the tear the chosen child wore at our warning.
