Chapter 30
“What? It can’t be. Was there a thief in the carriage?”
In response to her maid’s answer, Nina asked back in an embarrassed voice.
The maid bowed her head with a sad expression.
“There was no thief. Because the knights are always guarding the area around the carriage. Your Highness, shall I contact the palace again and have them deliver the same thing again?”
“……No, then it’s late. It would be faster for me to finish kindergarten and return to the palace than the time for the goods to come from the palace. You really looked at it, right? There were no thieves, but it suddenly disappeared.”
Nina, who looked at her maid with an impatient expression, finally got up from her seat.
“I will go again. If I knew it would be like this, I would put it in the locker early in the morning…”
“Oh, Your Highness! Are you going out?”
Ninaina, wearing the coat she had taken off, left the kindergarten without worrying about the maid who followed behind her. I took a peek and followed Nina.
Absolutely, never. You shouldn’t be curious about what the Imperial Palace carriage looks like!
After passing the fountain outside the kindergarten, Ninaina were walking toward the carriages waiting outside the main entrance of the kindergarten.
Now, after this class, it was time for her to go home, so carriages from the families were sent. Among them was the carriage from Saeron that I was riding on.
‘Ah, is that?’
And among them, there was something that stood out and felt like a Cinderella’s carriage with a splendid gold leaf decoration on the white body. I immediately noticed that it was an imperial carriage, even if no one had ever told me.
“Your Highness!”
“Ah, Lady Saeron.”
Ninaina only noticed when she heard the voice that I was following. Nina’s steps gradually slowed down to wait for me. Finally, around the front door of the kindergarten, I was able to catch up with Ninaina.
“Your Highness the Princess, and Lady. Where are you going?”
And the imperial knights who were guarding the front gate caught us.
I answered instead of Nina.
“It’s because His Highness has luggage that she left behind in the imperial carriage.”
“Yes, that’s right. I’ll be back after a while, so don’t worry.”
Having said that, Ninaina went out of the front door, opened the door of the Imperial carriage, and went inside.
I couldn’t follow along, so I was standing by watching the carriage from the outside.
‘Ah, there are a lot of carriages.’
Perhaps because this place is so close to the center of the capital, three or four wagons were passing by on the side of the road for a while. And soon afterward, I had a feeling of something anxious.
‘What. This unpleasant feeling is.’
However, the very next moment, Ninaina shouted in a joyful voice so that I couldn’t even notice what my premonition was.
“Yes, I thought it was here! I guess she couldn’t see it because it went under the carriage seat.”
“Oh, you found it!”
Eventually, there was a box that she wanted to see in the carriage.
Ninaina, who finds the box, walks down from the carriage from a high position alone without her escort, she doesn’t look behind her and just tries to step on her feet.
And……
“Look out! Your Highness!”
A carriage from the other side is running in the direction of Nina at a terrifying speed.
It seemed like it would pass by, but if it accidentally collided with Nina.
Ah.
In an instant, my head became white.
Instinctively shouting for her to be careful, I couldn’t think of anything anymore and ran straight to Nina.
The dire moment when Ninaina turns to me, the carriage runs toward this side, and the imperial knights belatedly jump over there.
As I ran blindly, I grabbed Nina’s shoulder and pulled her.
Nina was in my arms, but thanks to that, she was safe.
It was a slight difference. I could feel the carriage and horse run away like crazy.
At the same time, I watched Nina look up at me with her red eyes in astonishment.
“……!”
And right after me, the elite imperial knights ran.
“Are you okay, Your Highness!”
“Are you okay, Lady?”
