After the search, a rare stone belonging to Aluna was not found. He doesn't look sad. Only anger was reflected on his face. Because of this incident, they decided to end the event and allow the princesses to go home.
We're on a horse-drawn carriage right now. The two Viona brothers moved using their respective horses. Reon was on the right side of the train, right next to me. Ryan's on the left, close to Viona.
I turned to the window, watching the outside situation sounding very crowded. We are passing through the market. Everyone nodded as we passed by. There are even some who bow down.
"Can we stop here for a second?"
Viona. "Good idea. I'll introduce you to Lady Sisi."
"Who is that?"
"Maker of my favorite jewelry."
I looked at Viona. "But just so you know I didn't bring a dime. I just intend to look around for a moment."
Viona flicked her hand. "God, Princess, you can use my money first. You can replace it if His Majesty the King has returned from the battlefield."
Aahs...Edgars. It's only been a few weeks. I miss him so much. Is he hurt? I hope he's okay.
The horse carriage has stopped. Looks like we've got a parking spot. Viona came out first, I followed after. The bustling atmosphere of the market instantly disappeared as we passed by. The people have great respect for the three of them. Especially Reon.
We entered into a two-story wooden building with dark purple paint. The owner was a short purple-haired woman with tahilalat on her right cheek. His face looks like it's 20 years old, but I believe he must be a lot older than that.
"This is Princess Felicia Sair El Lucifer, of course the Lady knows which princess from which kingdom?"
The woman looked shocked. He immediately lowered. "It's an honor for me because the Princess of a kingdom as big as Acacia took the time to pay a visit to this little shop of mine."
"No need to overdo it. What's your name, madam?"
Now he holds his head up. "Dease, the Princess can call me Sisi."

After getting acquainted, he invited me to go up to the second floor, where only jewelry with rare materials was here. I was interested in a headdress made of dark purple gems decorated with pink gems. There were three pink pearls hanging on the decoration.
Given that I was not carrying any money, and I did not want to bother, it seemed like I had to hold back my desires first. I'll be here next time. Viona herself was also just looking around. Nothing interested him.
"What's going on here?"
A man came forward, kneeling before Reon. His hand held tightly to a chain. The chain is connected to the ankle of the woman who knelt right behind her.
Slave trade...
"Crown Prince, I really need money. I want to sell my slaves. But the man kept forcing me to let go of my slave without paying."
A man came forward, kneeling. "Crown Prince, please forgive me. I just meant to get the man to let go of the hook at the foot of his slave."
I also entered the crowd, seeing clearly the condition of the boy's legs. The bond is too tight. Bloody feet...
"How much did you sell it?"
The man looked at me. "Eighty gold coins, young lady. He's very young. It's also strong. He can do a lot of work."
I took off one of my bracelets. Huffh, luckily there are some jewels I brought. "This bracelet if you sell costs a hundred gold coins. And there's a jewelry store nearby."
His eyes look sparkling. He seems interested.
"Take this bracelet. Give your slave to me."
He nodded quickly. The chain at the feet of the slave woman he had let go. I could see the faces of Viona and Ryan who seemed to want to protest over what I was doing. In contrast to his two brothers, Reon instead smiled obliquely. But I don't really care.
I walked slowly towards the woman who had just been free. "You're free now. Go wherever you want. Your legs are no longer tied."
He's staring. "May..may I follow you, miss? I'll be your personal servant. I'll clean your house. I read a lot of books too."
I'm silent for a moment. So far I don't have a personal servant. Humm, I think I need it.
"All right."
