"The third question: If Lorenwei chases after you and reappears in front of you, will you be happy or angry? If she doesn't chase after you, will you be happy or angry?"
"..." Kurara suddenly realized.
She turned around and looked at the housekeeper.
“I think Your Highness already knows the answer to my question. You no longer need to answer.” The housekeeper gladly stopped talking, letting Kurara think quietly on her own.
After a long silence, Kurara suddenly said, "Butler, tell the caravan that I feel a little dizzy and want to rest."
The housekeeper smiled and immediately notified the motorcade.
The Grand Duchy's caravan, which had been speeding along the road, gradually slowed down.
After proceeding in this manner for some time, Kurala spoke up again: "Butler, have the convoy slow down a bit more."
The housekeeper's smile widened.
"You, you shouldn't laugh." Kula blushed.
The housekeeper said, "I was wondering if someone is desperately chasing our caravan. Our horses are all top-quality steeds, some even with exotic bloodlines. The carriages temporarily hired by the academy probably can't catch up. It'll be at least past midnight, won't it?"
Kurala turned her face away, refusing to look at the housekeeper.
The carriage caravan was moving even slower, but after less than half an hour of driving, Kurala coughed a few more times: "Cough cough, I'm feeling a little unwell, let's find a place to rest."
"Pfft—" The housekeeper couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Kurara's pretty face was hidden behind the curtains of the carriage window.
At the housekeeper's command, the carriage finally came to a stop.
Why did the convoy stop?
"Her Highness is feeling dizzy and needs to rest," the housekeeper explained to her tutor, Maggie, as she got out of the car.
"Are you waiting for that Sevi tribesman to catch up?" Instructor Maggie snorted through her nose.
Everyone could tell that she harbored deep resentment towards the Sevilles, as she didn't address them as Lorenvi or Loren, but instead used their ethnic name directly.
The housekeeper, however, was very polite and bowed deeply: "Please forgive Her Highness, Your Highness. Her Highness has been suffering from acclimatization issues at the academy, and today she was also upset. Coupled with the bumpy journey, it's no wonder she's feeling unwell. We really cannot bear the responsibility if she falls ill on the way."
"I'm not going to waste my breath on you!" Maggie, the instructor, understood that the housekeeper was completely on Kurara's side, and turned to the captain of the knight guard. "What do you have to say? I now order you to continue your advance immediately and return to the Grand Duchy before dawn!"
The housekeeper, while maintaining a respectful bow, was inwardly furious with her tutor, Maggie. Someone said Her Highness was unwell, and you didn't even bother to check on her, only concerned with rushing back home? What place does Her Highness hold in your heart? After so many years of teaching, haven't you developed any feelings for her?!
"..." The knight commander, still on horseback, ignored Maggie's command with a blank expression.
"Hey! Did you hear me?!" Instructor Maggie's voice rose.
"I respect your words. But please understand, I am the captain of the guards of Her Highness the Princess, and taking care of Her Highness's health is my first priority." The captain announced, even glancing around to see if any knights would dare to set off again, appearing to be completely obedient to the princess's orders.
"I'll remember you!" Instructor Maggie said resentfully. She was the Grand Knight Commander, whose professional rank surpassed that of the Knight Captain, but they had no direct subordinate relationship in terms of position, so she indeed couldn't give orders directly.
Upon hearing her words, the knight commander actually dismounted and shouted loudly to the surrounding knights, "Find a nearby village, post station, or inn, and see if there is a suitable place for Her Highness to rest!"
"Yes!" Several light cavalrymen immediately set out and began searching the surrounding area.
"You just wait!" Instructor Maggie gritted her teeth and returned to her carriage.
This kind of personal guard team is naturally loyal to their master. Maggie's authority only extends to commanding her own entourage and, to some extent, to interfering with Kurara's decisions as a mentor. But she certainly wouldn't invite trouble now.
Seeing that Instructor Maggie had left, the Knight Commander smiled slightly at the housekeeper.
The housekeeper gave a thumbs-up, but then smiled at the knight commander and said, "You're just like Kurara, outwardly polite but inwardly very stubborn. Why provoke Maggie? Wouldn't that just cause trouble?"
The knight commander didn't care: "We subordinates know how she treats the princess. Does she expect us to be nice to her?"
"So you've been a knight commander for over a decade."
The knight commander smiled憨厚ly and said, "It is our honor to protect Her Highness the Princess of the Grand Duchy."
Kurala was well-liked from a young age, and as she grew up, her daily behavior was law-abiding and proper. She was also kind and caring towards her subordinates, which naturally earned her the love and respect of the guard team.
There was an inn nearby, so the knight commander arranged for the caravan to rest and have a meal there.
Kurara originally intended to camp by the roadside, but it was indeed inappropriate for a princess's entourage to spend the night there. Knowing that the knights were in armor and traveling would be difficult, she agreed, but specifically instructed the steward to remind the knight commander: "Put up some of the Grand Duchy's flags by the roadside."
"Understood, we'll remain in the guesthouse as well." The housekeeper knew that Her Highness was worried that Lorenwei might overtake them, so she had placed some flags along the roadside as a reminder.
The knight commander did as he was told.
The entire convoy went to the lodging to rest, instead of continuing their journey through the night as originally planned, and prepared to set off the next day.
But as night fell, a figure quietly left the inn, her skills making her difficult for the guards to detect. She returned to the roadside and pulled down the Grand Duchy's flag.
This person is none other than Maggie, the mentor.
"Hmph, if that Sevi guy comes, I'll make sure you get out of the way! You think you can just have a simple reunion? Not so easy! Once you're in the Grand Duchy, you can't just leave with the princess as you please!" Instructor Maggie chuckled sinisterly.
So, Lorenwei, who had rushed to catch up overnight, actually made it past!
Kula dawdled along the way, which caused them to miss each other during the rest break.
On the bumpy carriage, Lorenwei wailed.
"Meilan, you've drooled all over my sleeve. Why don't you find a place to get off and sleep first, and I'll continue my journey by myself."
“No, let’s go together…” Meilan mumbled sleepily, then hugged Lorenwei’s left arm tighter, wiping her mouth on Lorenwei’s sleeve to clean up some drool…
"Sylph, do you want to rest too?" Lorenwei asked the female elf who was also tightly hugging her right arm.
"Ah, no, let's go together!" Sylph suddenly woke up from her semi-conscious state. Although she wasn't drooling, she had been in a daze and was on the verge of falling asleep at any moment.
"I'm in a hurry, you don't need to accompany me." Normally, Lorenvi would love to have two women on either side, especially enjoying the constant physical contact as the vehicle bumped along. But now, they might catch up with Kurara's convoy at any moment, and she wondered what the princess would think if she saw them.
"I have to stay with you! We're a team!" Sylph yelled, pinching her thigh hard as if to remind herself, and shouting, "Wake up, I can't sleep!"
"Ouch—!" Lorenwei screamed, "If you want to be sober, then be sober, but why did you pinch my thigh?!"
"Huh? Did you pinch the wrong one?" Siruf blinked innocently. "I'll pinch it again."
"Ouch~ They're still pinching me~! It hurts even more than before!" Lorenwei's hand trembled as the reins were pinched again, and the carriage almost swerved and crashed.
"Hmph—" Sylph rolled her eyes at her. She's working so hard, day and night, to get back Kurara!
As they continued their journey, their carriage happened to pass the fork in the road where Kurara and the others were heading to their lodgings, and continued along the main road to the Grand Duchy, catching up even faster than the princess's convoy...
The headmaster's good intentions backfired; the three-horse carriage with unicorn blood was no slower than the superior carriages of the Grand Duchy of Percy. Even though they set off a few hours later, they caught up much sooner than expected.
Their target was resting and spending the night behind them, while Lorenwei and her two companions had arrived in the Grand Duchy much earlier...
At this moment, Kurara was resting in the inn, preparing to go to bed.
As the maids helped her change into her pajamas, the housekeeper exclaimed in surprise, "Your Highness, your..."
Having served Kulala for many years, she naturally recognized every piece of the princess's underwear; in fact, one could say she had inspected each and every one. But the bra Kulala was currently wearing was one she had never seen before.
Although the housekeeper refrained from saying it, Kurara blushed.
At this moment, a maid brought in new underwear.
"No, I won't change it tonight." Kurara shook her head stubbornly.
The princess, who is usually very clean, is not changing her underwear? This is unprecedented. The housekeeper and maids were all surprised.
The housekeeper, in particular, was almost certain that the lingerie was a gift from Loren.
But she never imagined that this lingerie was not only a gift from Loren, but also something he had personally cut and sewn...
If the housekeeper knew the truth, she would probably go crazy: had that guy already reached such a level of understanding about the princess's body?!
The next day, as the sun rose above the horizon, the walls of the main city of the Grand Duchy of Posey appeared in the distance.
"We actually failed to catch up?" Meilan rubbed her eyes, gradually becoming more alert.
"Kulala wouldn't be so heartless, she wouldn't rush back to the main city so quickly, she will definitely wait for me..." Lorenwei muttered to herself, as if trying to numb herself.
"Stop acting crazy! If you act like you did yesterday again, I'm going to..." Sylph yawned and pinched Lorenvi's leg.
“Oh dear! I won’t be silly again!” Lorenwei exclaimed.
This trick worked quite well; Siruf has acquired a new skill.
Before the three even entered the main city area, they were stopped by a patrol team from afar. Although the three were clearly not bad people, the city's patrol soldiers could not let their guard down and still checked their documents.
Three students from Saint*Vision*Moonlight Academy presented feedback from their magical imprints and some student identification, and their identities were verified. Although it didn't have a magic crystal interaction system as advanced as the academy, it was, after all, the main city of the Grand Duchy, and basic imprint reactions could still be verified.
"Is Her Highness the Princess inside the city?" Lorenwei asked a patrolling soldier when she had the chance.
Seeing the three beautiful women, the soldier's heart melted, and he readily replied, "The princess has gone to study."
Lorenwei feigned surprise and said, "We came from the academy because Princess Kurara has returned."
The patrolling soldier was taken aback: "Huh? They're already back? I just changed shifts, I didn't know."
The other soldiers were in the same boat, apparently unable to find out anything. It's also possible that Kurara secretly returned to the city.
The soldiers left to continue their patrol.
Lorenvi gazed intently at the capital city of the Grand Duchy of Percy, determined to go in and cause trouble for the king: "Let's go into the city. As long as we catch the king, the princess won't be able to stay out!"
"Wow! Are we going to kidnap the king and extort the princess?!" Meilan excitedly rubbed her hands together, feeling that she was one step closer to the Demon King's grand plan.
Chapter 167 Lorenwei is perfect to be part of this Demon King's harem!
The Grand Duchy of Posey, with a land area only equivalent to a province of the Fite Empire, is located in the northwestern part of the continent and has a long tradition of warfare.
Many of the buildings here are in the Byzantine style, for example, their roofs are all domed. Among the various professions in the Grand Duchy of Percy, the knightly profession stands out, vaguely similar to the renowned cavalry of the Byzantine Empire in another world.
"Huh? Why are they all decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations?" Lorenwei asked curiously.
Once inside the city, they noticed that some people were decorating the streets early in the morning.
"It's not a festival, is it? Do you know the local customs?" Meilan asked.
Lorenwei's expression dimmed somewhat: "I know a little. Kurara told me that she had never heard of any festivals in this early summer season."
Sylph looked away and said, "As soon as we got here, some people's hearts were already wandering off somewhere else. They keep talking about some beautiful woman."
“…” Lorenwei didn’t dare to respond and quickly said, “Let’s go and find out.”
I inquired around and found out it was to welcome a distinguished guest arriving in a few days: the second prince of the Fite Empire.
"You say a prince has no shortage of beautiful women? Why is he running around all the time?" Lorenwei said angrily.
She was so clever that she immediately understood that the paper crane the headmaster wrote about referred to this.
