On the terrace of Lilac Castle, Enid sat under an umbrella, enjoying a hot black tea while overlooking the sea of lilacs below.

The brothers never brought women back to the castle, so it is still the exclusive domain of Enid.

Winter snow is flying, and the land is bleak...... However, no matter how intentional the picture is, it will be boring to watch it for a long time.

"Miss, it's time to go back. On the other side, Ellie didn't seem to be able to stand it anymore.

Enid ran out.

The little girl's birthday was approaching, so the butler had the best tailor in St. Valentine very early on and prepared her many beautiful clothes.

And today, it's time to try on new clothes. In Enid's bedroom, several older maids were staying, waiting for Ellie to bring Enid back.

"Okay. Enid replied weakly. Trying on new clothes, obviously not particularly disgusted, but I don't know why, today I just feel unmotivated.

In the bedroom, when the girl returned, several maids were about to change her clothes at once, and Enid stood numbly in front of the dressing mirror, still fiddling with herself.

I remember my father said that he would give himself a grand birthday party.

Looking forward to it? I guess I'm not the princess anyway...... The little girl remembered the story she had heard in the tavern a few days ago.

By the way, I forgot to ask in the end, who did that princess marry later?

Thinking of this, Enid's thoughts spread again, and recently, the inquiry about the current international and domestic situation has also had some effect.

Enid was able to support the guards and servants, but it was obviously not convenient to inquire from them about the gossip that was circulating among the servants, but fortunately Enid now had a little spy - Sally.

The rumors among the servants were full of a lot of meaningless delusions and speculations, and Enid had to supplement them with prophecy spells such as legend-lore and vision to finally sort out some reliable information.

First of all, it is about the incident three years ago, the new king Xiya ascended the throne, and three months later, the bloody night of the long street cleaned up a group of conservative nobles, and now in the royal capital, it is already the world of the royal party.

The so-called royal party is a group of upstarts who stand on the side of the new king and support the king to take back power, and their desire to do something to the fiefdom nobles is already an open secret.

Then there was the New Deal, the rectification of taxes, the development of commerce, the incorporation of the armed forces, the establishment of the Knights, and so on, and so on, and the information on this was relatively fragmentary.

In the Islay Basin, the aristocracy was divided into two factions, one in favor of the new king, and the other in favor of the status quo. And the leader of the royal party in the territory is none other than the Viscount of Lancet.

Enid didn't expect that the situation would be so serious. The royal capital may not need to do anything, just wait for the interior of the Ailay Basin to mess up by itself. It would then be much easier to find an excuse to intervene, and once the House of Noble, the largest fiefdom in the kingdom of Thea, had been taken care of, it seemed much easier elsewhere.

As for the other inconsequential rumors, it is related to the Northlands, where the kingdom of Stiller is said to have officially declared the establishment of the Papal States, and their paladin and priesthood have swept through the Northlands, defeating several major opponents and having a tendency to dominate the Northlands.

The situation in the kingdom is in a stalemate, many are waiting and watching, and Enid is ready.

"Miss, how about you take a look at this?"

While Enid was thinking about this, the maids were finally dressed.

Enid looked in the mirror, and inside, a little girl in a pink princess dress stood quietly.

The silver-blue hair was combed into spiral strands on the sides, hanging down to the ears, and was tied with cherry red embellishments, and the bangs in front were sparse and sparse, just enough to cover the little girl's forehead.

The slip princess dress had no sleeves, but a pair of long white silk gloves wrapped around the little girl's arms, which reached just above the elbows and were tied with the same cherry red ribbon. Below, the pink-based tutu skirt was ankle-length, with no other embellishments on it, only endless pleats and lace.

A young girl as tender and delicious as a cherry...... If I had to describe it, that's what it feels like.

Well, well, it's ...... Is that me?

Looking at the little girl in the mirror, Enid was in a trance for a while. No matter what the world, Enid actually rarely looks in the mirror, and people who don't look at themselves for a long time will inevitably have a strange feeling when they occasionally look at their own image seriously.

There is no stranger more familiar than this.

The little girl was still in a daze, when she suddenly felt a burst of warmth - she was hugged from behind.

"I'm sorry, miss, let me give me a hug. Ellie's voice came from between the ends of her hair, muffled, not at all like her usual appearance.

If it was another maid, Enid would have been angry, needless to say, but because it was Ellie, the little girl had no choice...... Why did it come to this?" the silver-haired girl frowned in annoyance.

After finally tossing and changing her clothes, Enid ran out of the bedroom as soon as she slipped through the smoke.

Suddenly, I understood the princess's feelings......

After wandering aimlessly around the castle for a while, Enid, feeling that she had nowhere to go, came to Russell's quarters. Just right, look at how Sally works here.

Enid pushed open the door and saw Sally and Russell talking about something, and laughed together.

Looks like they're getting along......

"Miss. Seeing Enid arrive, Sally stood up and restrained her smile. For this eldest lady of the Noble family, a girl who is much younger than herself, until now, Sally did not know what kind of mood to face it.

She (ordered Ellie) to save herself, but she was clearly not an approachable aristocrat.

Some of the sympathetic, inexplicably noble-ladies, influenced by chivalric novels, are better to get along with than she is—and there are many of them.

But she knows one thing that in this castle, the eldest lady is her biggest and toughest backer, and if there are other people in the castle who want to do something to her, only the eldest lady can protect herself.

Moreover, she also acquiesced to learning from her personal maid, so what was she dissatisfied with?

So, let's do the same as before, work for the eldest lady with all my heart and soul, and meticulously complete every order of the eldest lady, that's all.

"Russell, I'm coming. On the other hand, Enid saw that the two got along well, and she also relieved herself, no matter what, Sally was also her own person in the castle, and if she offended Russell, it would not be good to put her anywhere.

There are hundreds of people living in the Lilac Castle, and the things inside the mansion are naturally not simple. Although he is one of the owners of the castle, many things have to be done according to the rules. Governing the family and the country is actually the same in a sense.

"Ini, you are really very cute today~" Russell looked at the little girl with appreciation.

Haven't you changed your clothes back? Enid looked down suspiciously, and did change into the ordinary dress she usually wore.

"Miss, hair. Sally reminded in a whisper from the side.

Oh...... So it was, and Enid unconsciously hooked her fingers at the ends of her curly hair, and the straps on it hadn't had time to be removed.

"Isn't that nice?" Russell stopped at the girl's move, "Why take it off?"

Belch...... Why, Enid suddenly found that she really couldn't answer, it stands to reason that no girl doesn't love beauty. So what is your own move?

From the moment I saw myself in the mirror, I felt a sense of unreality, and it seemed that only by taking off that dress and removing those decorations as soon as possible could I return to my true self...... There is such a subconscious existence.

True Self...... Enid caught the word in her own thoughts.

Know yourself, know the world...... Enid admits that what she can't understand is not only the state of the world, but also her own state.

"Sister ~ Sister ~"

A sudden voice came into mind, and this time, Enid didn't show any expression on her face.
