the melody of the violin continued to sound for almost two hours before finally stopping.I let out a long sigh and remained standing on the spot smiling and looking at the moon even though there were still tears slowly dripping down.
I turned around and saw that on both sides of Ilma's face were also traces of tears.
is she crying too?. Is that so sad?.
Philia:"Ilma?"
Ilma immediately ran towards me and hugged me tightly, sticking my face on her undeveloped chest.
Ilma:"whatever happens this Ilma will always be with the princess"
Filia:"thank you"
unexpectedly that simple remark managed to lift the knot in my heart.this is a new life, I can only enjoy it and appreciate it. God gave me a second chance.
Ilma:"whatever it is princess"
all the grievances in my heart turned into a feeling of fatigue that spread throughout my body in addition to the embrace of Ilma whose body was not much bigger than mine, the drowsiness started to attack every nerve cell and somehow I started to close my eyes and fall asleep in his arms.
.............
unconsciously the morning had arrived, I slowly raised my eyelids that were still reluctant to open.I woke up and saw the sunlight infiltrating the crevices of the thin white curtain.
slowly I got off my warm big bed and walked towards the dresser with glass beside the bed, a little away from the bed.
seeing my eyelids not seem to be swollen from crying last night, I felt too emotional at the sight of the moon.
tock..tok...
"princess.have you woken up?"
there was a knock from behind the big door while being followed by the sweet voice of a little girl.
Filia:"in!"
the large door was pushed open slowly, with gentle and steady footsteps, Ilma entered in maid clothes while carrying bread and a glass of milk on a silver tray decorated with gold.
Ilma:"I brought you breakfast princess!"
Filia:"you can put it there first.wait for me to clean up!".
Ilma walked over and placed the tray on the dressing table.
Ilma: "let the princess, let the servant help clean up"
I walked towards the bathroom with a pool of warm baths that I used to use followed by Ilma who had taken off her long maid clothes and changed into a more simple maid outfit and short.
after a shower of laziness and drowsiness left swept clean. Now is a new day, time to implement a plan to help children in the slums.
quickly but still gracefully, I ate the breakfast that Ilma had prepared and then changed clothes.
Filia:"Ilma.you changed your clothes into the clothes of ordinary people!"
Ilma:"what's the princess?"
Filia:"just change it!"
Ilma:"good princess"
although somewhat confused, Ilma went to change her clothes. After changing I took Ilma to the back garden and gave her a black robe.
Filia:"wear this!"
without asking much he immediately put on the hooded black robe to cover his entire person.I need the help of Ilma who knows more about this city.
Filia:"hold my hand!"
Source:"um.."
ilma's hand was a little bigger than mine and felt a bit rough.maybe because she often did the work and carried things.
Filia:" «Levitation»"
we slowly floated into the air using Levitation.
Ilma:"daughter. it..ini"
Filia:"it's okay, don't be afraid!".
I gripped onto Ilma's palm tighter to make her calmer. Ilma nodded and calmed herself.it was natural to be afraid, after all this was the first time Ilma flew right?!. I was also a little amazed that she was able to adapt quickly.
maybe his mental state was strong so he was able to adapt to the new thing so quickly.
with «Air Control» I was able to direct where to fly. why not use magic «Fly»?. magic fly is only able to be used for yourself. So, if I want to bring Ilma, if I want to bring, I have to lift Ilma with my power. It is similar to a bird carrying prey that cannot fly in its claws so it will add weight. I also had to embrace Ilma so as not to hang in the air.
however, if I were to use Levitation, Levitation could be used for targets other than oneself, instead of one's own, so Ilma can fly independently and does not need an ambiguous posture by cuddling in the air even though she has to hold hands.
Ilma:"this is great.I feel like a bird"
Filia:"yeah.!".
it seems that Ilma is enjoying her flying time a lot, however, the noble gate is already visible in front, so I should get down immediately and walk towards the city.
however, it seemed like today was a little more crowded than yesterday.there were more cars and people passing by on the streets of the capital.
Ilma: "of course, according to what brother An said, one week from now there will be registration for the royal academy, many merchants or people from all over the country came to the capital to register their family members."
Filia:"so so. deserve it"
Ilma:"wait!"
Ilma pulled my hand and stopped suddenly.Is there anything dangerous?.I looked around but there was nothing strange other than people and knights passing by.
Filia:"what's wrong?"
Ilma:"why did the princess yesterday go to the city?.with whom?".
Filia:"ugh.anu, this, yesterday with An. yes yes with An"
ahh..cruel, my mouth unconsciously talked about yesterday.
Ilma:"I didn't hear that from brother An. was the princess...."
don't look at me with that scary face.I, I just played for a while okay!.
Filia;"anu, I'm sorry"
Ilma:"sneaking in and going to town alone is very dangerous okay!. What if there's a bad guy who wants to kidnap or hurt you?!"
Filia:"I understand"
Ilma:"the next time you should not do something dangerous again.if until the master or mistress knows..."
Filia:"all right.. Please don't tell them okay?!."
no... don't tell mom and dad!!. I could have been locked up in my room or always followed by the knight bodyguard.it would take away my little freedom.
Ilma:"huh.now I will always be with the princess so as not to do dangerous things again"
Filia:"thank you Ilma"
Ilma: "well, now where does the princess want to go?".
okay, according to the plan I prepared was, first buy a store or a piece of land and build his own shop.
Filia:"Do you know where to buy a store?"
Ilma:"eh... if it was. it seemed that in the trading guild they provided land and building buying and selling services. would the princess want to see it?"
Philia:"yeah!".
as I expected. Ilma was always reliable, only a few moments in the capital she had already obtained more information. we walked on a few turns and arrived at a large building with white walls and people coming in and out of it.
there are various types of people including ordinary people and adventurers with various needs.
Ilma took me into a large hall decorated with quite nice and comfortable for visitors.
we came to a female receptionist sitting behind a desk, taking a chair and sitting facing the receptionist.
receptionist:"hello...can I help you?"
smiling and professional attitude without underestimating even though the one who came was a little girl.
Filia:"I'd like to see a list of shops for sale here!"
receptionist:"sorry, before that you have to show your identification card first"
eh.... What identification card is this?. I don't even know.truck, I didn't think that would require an identification card.
Ilma:"nona.show the small Emblem given by the mistress.it could be an identifying mark"
in the midst of my confusion, I heard Ilma whisper in my ear. Emblem?. oh, I remember. didn't mom ever give me an Emblem and remind me that I should always carry it!. I pretended to reach into the inside of my robe and took out the emblem from the storage.
the emblem is in the form of a red shield decorated with gold and a red rose gemstone that is very rare with a golden lion image in the middle.
Filia:"can I use this?".
the receptionist was surprised at the sight of the emblem, then she picked it up very carefully.
receptionist:"t, please wait a minute"
he attached the emblem to a crystal disc. After the emblem was attached, a golden halo formed and showed a line of writing floating in the air.
receptionist:"this.let's come with me. I'll take you to the VIP room"
I just nodded and followed him along with Ilma to that room called VIP.
