"Your Highness the Princess. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

In Foster District, in front of the residence of the Duke of Valoranburg, two knights of the guard in black armor on duty bowed their heads to Jane's chest on a red steed, and saluted respectfully.

"Is my sister at home?"

Jumping off her horse, Jane asked directly, not as polite and unhurried as usual.

"Your Excellency, Marquis, she went out in the morning. Both of them were stunned for a moment, and then a quick-reacting knight replied.

The reason he calls Catelyn 'Lord Marquis' is that Catelyn already has a title of her own - a matter that may be a secret to outsiders, but it is only old news to those who surround her. Calling her 'Miss' again seems a bit disrespectful. Moreover, to call her 'Her Royal Highness' as Jane is to be called, because Catelin's father is not a nobleman of Duke or above, and it is obviously inappropriate to call her 'Master of the Regiment' according to her position, and the two are not Catlin's subordinates.

So, after much deliberation, in this mansion the men and guards were called 'Lord Marquis,' and the maids were called 'Mademoiselle'.

However, both the servants and the masters in the mansion firmly believed that in the near future, Catlin would be promoted to the rank of Duke and even Prince by His Majesty the King by virtue of her ability to reach the Holy Rank.

"Okay, I got it. ”

nodded, and said concisely, and at the same time, the heart that was originally raised high was also put down - since my sister is still in the royal capital, there is no need to be too anxious, and the deeper news is not something they can know, and they need to ask the housekeeper or the head maid themselves.

Throwing her mount in front of the door, Jane walked in alone - someone would place it where it needed to be.

After telling the maid who was the first to meet to tell the butler the news of her return and inform him that she had come to see her, Jane went straight to the parlor.

"Good afternoon, Your Highness Jane. ”

It didn't take long for the middle-aged butler, who was wearing white gloves and a straight uniform, with a meticulous breath all over his body, to come to her.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Green. ”

After politely greeting her, Jane explained the reason why she came to him: "Does Mr. Green know about his sister's departure from the royal capital for a while?"

His Excellency, the Butler, who was theoretically able to manage all the servants in the mansion in order to better serve His Excellency the Duke and his relatives, and whose second most powerful (the first being the Duke of Valorenburg himself) knew everyone better, and even the Duke himself, who was busy with external affairs, could not be compared with him. So, if Catlyn is leaving, be sure to tell the butler and ask him to help with the necessities.

“...... Yes. After being slightly stunned, the butler she called Green nodded, "According to the orders of His Majesty the King and the Imperial Council, the Marquis will lead her cavalry regiment to set out in the next few days to patrol all parts of the country. ”

"In recent days...... In other words, I haven't left today, have I?" thought for a moment, and Jane continued.

What needs to be determined at present is whether my sister will leave today. As long as she is still there today, it is a big deal that she is not a lady once, go to the barracks to see her.

"Yes. Your Excellency the Marquis is probably asking the military headquarters to send a letter to the provinces and regions these days, so that the governors everywhere are ready to meet the army......" The Steward guessed - his idea was not without purpose, after all, the kingdom was so large that it could not be a trip just because he wanted to see it. This military operation, which numbered in the thousands, had to be planned in advance for routes, camps, forage, or whatever. And Katrin, as the commander of this operation, these are all things she should know and do.

"That's right...... There's nothing wrong with that. When my sister comes back, please tell her that I'm looking for her. ”

Nodding thoughtfully, Jane signaled that she understood the situation and took the initiative to end the conversation.

"Yes, Your Highness. ”

The butler agreed, bowed, and left the hall—he had other things to attend to.

When the butler left, Jane's expression suddenly became slightly gloomy.

Maybe in the eyes of others, my sister went out this time just to perform ordinary official duties, but she, who knows some things, doesn't think so.

In less than two months, it was the twentieth birthday of her other cousin, Lania, which was also her rite of passage. On such an important occasion, her relatives and friends, unless there is something that she can't leave, or she can't hurry up, should basically be present at this extremely important ceremony for her—the more intimate the relationship with her, the more they should appear.

And this cousin, who left the kingdom four years ago and went to the holy city of 'Karlland', before leaving, had a relationship with Sister Katrin and Brother Kyle...... Much closer than yourself, so to speak!

So, if it is normal, at the coming-of-age ceremony in the near future, both Sister Katrin and Brother Kyle will undoubtedly appear there and send her sincere blessings and gifts.

However, the reality now is that Sister Catlyn is going to be away for a while because of a military mission—and Jane doesn't think the trip will end in two months. Brother Kyle and Miss Catherine are investigating the Devil's Altar, and it is said that they will go deeper into Hell......

Uncontrollable anxiety began to creep through her heart.

As three of the four most prestigious members of the younger generation, if they don't attend Rania's sister coming-of-age ceremony, she will definitely be ridiculed by her peers after four years away from the royal capital, even if she is the daughter of a royal duke and a princess. And for Sister Lania herself, her best friend must not be able to participate in her coming-of-age ceremony, and she must be very uncomfortable.

"I hope things don't go the way I thought they would......"

Standing in the middle of the hall, looking out at the sunshine outside, Jane muttered quietly.

......

"Jane, do you have something on your mind?"

At the dinner table, Jane's father, Duke of Valoranburg, Rogers Dwight, a middle-aged man of great appearance, majesty, and charisma. Seeing that although her daughter tried to make an expression that was no different from usual, she was often distracted and in a daze, and she didn't use her knife and fork much, this thoughtful and also passer-over father stopped eating and asked directly.

“？”

Katrin, who was going to wait until after dinner to ask her sister, and Jane's sister, were greeted by ten-year-old Bella.

“...... Well, there's really one thing I want to ask you, father. ”

After a moment's hesitation, Jane replied.

Perhaps my father knew more about the inside story than my sister - after all, my father had a much higher status in the court than my sister.

"Oh, what is it?" asked the Duke, who had been intrigued, with a caring, loving, and curious look.

“...... I heard Steward Green say that His Majesty is going to ask his sister to lead the army on a mission in a few days, is that true?"

"Well, that's right. And then what?"

Jane's father nodded and continued to ask.

This was not a military affair that needed to be kept secret, and it was nothing for Jane to know.

"That'...... Sister Lania's coming-of-age ceremony in a little more than a month, sister, won't she be able to participate?"

“......”

The deep look in the maroon eyes condensed, and Jane couldn't help but reflexively beat a drum in her heart, and after a while, she heard her father's answer:

"Yes. ”

Then, without waiting for her to ask again, she heard her father's serious, serious, magnetic voice again.

Not only Katrin, but Kyle and Catherine will not be present at Lania's bar mitzvah. ”

“...... Why?"

Shocked, Jane asked her father directly, not caring about such behavior and impropriety.

"Green, let everyone else go down. Katrin, you can take Bella out too. ”

"Yes, Your Highness the Duke. ”

"Yes, uncle. ”

Without answering his daughter's question directly, Jane's father asked the housekeeper to let the servants leave on the left and right, and asked the niece to leave with the little daughter. At the same time, I took off the napkin and wiped the corners of my mouth that was stained with food, making my demeanor a little more serious.

After everyone who was about to leave had left, he kindly beckoned to his daughter:

"Sit down, Jane, get closer, and talk. ”

"Yes, father. ”

Being watched like this by her father, Jane's uneasy mood was also dissolved a little.

"It's been a long time since you went to school, and father and daughter of us haven't sat together like this and talked. ”

Looking at his eldest daughter, His Royal Highness the Duke sighed.

As the Lord of the Seals of the Kingdom and a duke with a vast fiefdom, he was very busy for most of the year, and only had a short dinner time to spend with his relatives, and Jane also had her own studies, so it had not happened for a long time between father and daughter that such a close conversation had happened between father and daughter.

"Hmmm......"

Looked at by her father's gentle and loving gaze, Jane also felt an indescribable complex emotion in her heart-happiness, shyness, warmth, remembrance......

Since the death of their mother, father and daughter have rarely spent time close to each other like this, and more often express their feelings for each other with gifts and achievements.

"Originally, I didn't want you to be exposed to these things so early - your sister was forced by circumstances to enter this circle in the first place. With regret in his eyes, Jane's father said with a slight heaviness, and then there was a hint of helplessness in his tone: "However, if you don't tell you the truth about the question you asked tonight, I'm afraid, you won't be satisfied." ”

"Father, please speak, I can accept it. ”

"Hehe......" replied the daughter, who thought she was brave and innocent, causing her father to let out a chuckle.

"The reason why your sister, Kyle, and Catherine were sent out this time to prevent them from appearing at Lania's bar mita ceremony is because—

Returning with Rania will also have a legend from the Holy See. ”
