Handmade Charm

Their talk came to an end just before dinner.

“We did surely talk for a long time, didn’t we? We appreciate your time. You really helped. I’ll repay you later.” said Mia.

Citrina smiled back with her sweet smile.

“Please, Your Highness, don’t worry about it. I’m just happy that the student council is taking me out to look for mushrooms. It’s a big deal for Rina.”

The student council at Saint-Noel Academy was much more than just a school club. It had a lot of power and influence, which was made even stronger by the fact that its members were all very important people.

For the average noble, just getting to know the Prince of Sunkland or the Holy Lady of Belluga would be cause for a party. So, even though Citrina offered to help Mia, she didn’t ask for anything in return, because that’s how people should act. It seemed natural to do...

“Well, by that logic, Bel should be in the same position, and you don’t see her being so humble! Besides, you’re with us as our official mushroom safety expert, so you should get something for your work,” Mia said.

A princess with a golden heart? If what people say is true...

Citrina gave another smile that was full of life.

“Thank you a lot, Your Majesty.”

Right then, Bel spoke up.

“Miss Mia, you didn’t bring anything to say thank you? That was pretty careless of you,” she said with a giggle, tilting her head back in a smug way. “Then it’s a good thing I brought one.”

Citrina wasn’t ready for this. She didn’t know what to say at first.

Bel looked at her for a second, then held out her hands with pride.

“Here you go, Rina. I made this for you.”

A small fluffy thing was in them.

Citrina had a soft laugh. She was like a pretty little flower swaying in the wind. Then, her voice changed and took on a bit of worry.

“Tell me, Barbara. Will Rina’s father now praise her? Will he tell Rina how nice I am?”

“Yes, I have no doubt he will. Milord has a lot of respect for milady. As long as the plan works, he will praise you a lot.”

“Will he or won’t he? Yes... I’ll carry out this plan. It will work out. When it does, Rina’s father will tell her how proud he is of her. Oh, I can hardly wait.”

Citrina laughed as she spun around her room in a circle.

Barbara stood and watched the dance in silence until she had an idea.

“By the way, milady...”

She showed the troya that Bel brought.

“What are you suggesting I do with this? Should I get rid of it?”

“What do you mean, throw it out? Hmm...”

Citrina tilted her head in a cute way.

“That seems like a waste.”

“A waste, milady?”

She kept smiling at the person who was helping her.

“I don’t believe in lucky charms, but this will help me get to know Her Highness through Bel. Hold on to it for now.”

“...As you wish.”

After looking at Citrina for a long time, Barbara walked over to the desk and put the charm in a drawer.Thê source of this content n/o/v/(el)bi((n))
