CH 104

‘No, how did he have this much favorability?’

[Abrel Garambell]

Occupation: Prince (Lv. 75)

Favorability: 25,600

Mood: Very, extremely, excited.

That was about the same level as Ellie.

Ellie’s favorability, which was only 10,000 back then, had gradually increased and was approaching 30,000.

In many ways, it was quite a high number for a person who only met her once.

‘Does he think I’ve helped his family?’

It was the most reasonable explanation for Siervian. It was pretty plausible that way.

“…Prince Abrel is really here.”

“Yes! He said he’d definitely see me in the Mosae kingdom. Did you forget it already, Brother?”

Her smart brother would’ve remembered. Siervian thought it strange yet smiled brightly and looked back at him.

“Um, yes. That’s right.”

[Damian Elverdotte]

Thoughts: I won’t forget it. Prince Abrel. -.-

His status window appeared, but it was still difficult to understand.

Siervian, carefully looking up, realized something when she saw Prince Abrel approaching them in a hurry.

‘Come to think of it, his level has gone up a lot. Did my brother feel the need to compete?’

Even so, her brother was still the perfect prince.

Maybe it was because he was still young.

Siervian, the youngest child, shrugged her shoulders and thought so.

“Stop the Gentusha for a moment! I’ll walk from here!”

Suddenly the prince, who stopped at a distance, dismounted from the Gentusha.

“Your Highness!”

A man who appeared to be his aide tried to dissuade him urgently, but the prince landed on the ground lightly.

“Princess!”

Prince Abrel, with a slightly flushed face due to walking in the hot temperature, approached her urgently. Then, he stopped before Siervian and greeted her politely again.

“I greet the little moon of the Empire.”

She had not seen Prince Abrel in a very long time, and he had grown considerably taller than before.

Looking at him so close, she could see that he seemed to be her brother’s age. It was to the point where his youthful face was nowhere to be seen.

“… Prince. I’m also here.”

“Gasp, I greet the little sun of the empire!”

Of course, he was still as clumsy as ever.

Siervian smiled for a moment seeing his child-like behavior and greeted him.

“Long time no see, prince.”

“Yes! Long time no see!”

The prince spoke quickly as his face became redder and redder.

She was worried he had heat stroke on the way. As soon as Siervian was about to be concerned, his aide got off urgently from the Gentusha.

“I greet the little sun and the little moon of the Empire.”

When she looked back after receiving the greeting of the aide, the procession had stopped due to the prince who suddenly stepped down.

“Prince, if you suddenly get off like that–”

“I know, I know, I know!”

In fact, it was only Abrel who got off in surprise as soon as he made eye contact with the princess.

The princess he met after a long time was cuter than when he first met her.

“Let’s return to the Gentusha. ‘Ksa’ won’t listen unless it’s you.”

Prince Abrel’s eyes fluttered because the aide said the right thing.

Damian understood the situation and quickly said, “Go now, prince. There will be a chance to see you officially soon.”

As Siervian listened to her brother next to her she felt a strange coldness in his words.

‘Was it just me?’

She quickly looked at Damian, but her brother was still only smiling kindly.

The status window didn’t reveal much either.

“Ah, yes! Your Highness, then… see you again soon, princess.”

[Abrel Garambell]

Mood: Very embarrassed

Favorability: +50

Prince Abrel began to squirm again, as if he was very embarrassed by his sudden action.

“Yes, Prince. See you soon.”

Siervian felt sorry for the child. So she said it softly, as if it was all right.

But Prince Abrel’s strangely flushed face didn’t improve until he climbed aboard the Gentusha again.

* * *

The next day, Siervian planned to follow Marco around the capital of the Mosae kingdom. It was to visit the mana fairy mercenary guild.

Normally, she would leave everything to Marco, but she was also curious.

She didn’t want to miss the chance to see the cities of other kingdoms.

In the afternoon, she planned to go out to the city. Then, a maid from the Mosae Kingdom entered and said, “Your Highness. Prince Abrel sent a message. May I deliver it?”

“Yes. What message?”

“If you don’t mind, he’d like to visit you this morning.”

He said he’d see her soon, but she didn’t realize it’d be this early, so she was confused.

“Okay. Tell him that he can come anytime.”

However, she soon accepted lightly.

She thought he had something to say.

The maid left to give her answer at once. It was expected that he would not come until later, but Prince Abrel visited where Siervian was immediately, as if he had waited.

“Princess!”

“You’re early, Prince.”

As they sat face to face in the drawing room, Siervian examined him anxiously.

She was wondering if something urgent happened. But Prince Abrel, greatly perplexed by her comment, continued to stutter.

“Oh–I, I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to come too early in the morning, bu–but…”

“It’s okay. I didn’t have a schedule today anyway, except to go to the city in the afternoon.”

“Oh… in the afternoon you’re going to the city.”

He seemed embarrassed, but this time his expression became noticeably grim.

The sudden change was fascinating.

[Abrel Garambell]

Thoughts: Ah… I wanted to spend time with her, but she had a schedule. I should have checked it beforehand, but why didn’t I think about it?

The reason was obvious when she read the status window.

Understanding the child’s unique thoughts, Siervian smiled.

‘Friends of my age are so cute! I know it!’

Siervian thought of Prince Abrel’s behavior with an adult mind.

This was because the depressed prince acted as if he was going back without knowing what to do.

“If you don’t mind, would you join me in the morning?”

“Huh? Yes! Of course! It’s my honor, no, it’s great! No, it’s good, it’s good to spend time with the princess!”

[Abrel Garambel]

Thoughts: Everything’s ruined! I’m sure I look stupid. I practiced the etiquette, but I’m stupid.

“I saw Gentusha yesterday, and it was really cool!”

Siervian hurriedly changed the subject after seeing his pitiful expression.

When she showed interest, Abrel’s face brightened like a sunflower.

His royal family’s unique pale brown eyes creased nicely. His light brown hair, which was described as resembling the wheat field of the harvest season, also fluttered with excitement.

Seeing such an honest person, Siervian was very glad to bring it up first.

“Would you like to go see it with me?”

“Yes, thank you.”

Seeing Prince Abrel, who was in a hurry, get bright again, Siervian began to get ready to go out.

It would be a good time for her to see the wonderful creature of yesterday up close.

* * *

“Wow… It’s bigger up close!”

“Yes, yes, it is. Ksa is very big among Gentusha!”

She was at the separate palace where Garambell’s delegation stayed.

As there were frequent exchanges, King Mosae granted the Garambell family a palace for their comfort and use.

Of course, there was enough space to manage the Gentusha they rode every time.

Passing before the Gentusha, the largest one, Siervian was slack-jawed at the sight of a creature with large eyes the size of her head.

If it weren’t for the etiquette she learned in her lessons, she would definitely show a shocked expression.

“Is this Gentusha’s name Ksa?”

The two talked a lot on their way here. Prince Abrel had surprisingly thought of a wide variety of conversation topics.

Perhaps they taught him a lot of things since they sent him as the head of the mission.

“Oh! Yes! That’s right. I named it because it’s my own Gentusha. It means sand. Well, my brothers teased me that it was a strange name, but…”

“I think it’s a wonderful name.”

Her reply made the prince blush, and his ears were noticeably red as he moved his eyes awkwardly away.

[Abrel Garambell]

Favorability: +50

Thoughts: The princess is a wonderful person!

From Siervian’s point of view, she thought it was cool for a prince to express his feelings so honestly.

It probably meant that he was loved enough to be honest.

Everyone survived in this life, so she was happy.

Garambell was a source of Siervian’s pride. They were the first people that she saved with her own hands.

Then, from the moment they entered the Gentusha cage, a servant stepped into her line of sight.

‘Huh? Who’s that person?’

The servant had looked strangely restless since arriving. His expression was strange, but the face was familiar when she looked closely.

It was the prince’s aide who rushed over when he got off from Gentusha.

‘Is there something going on with Garambell?’
