"NEOMA, you're leaving early."

"Yeah," Neoma said in response to Hanna's remark, then she covered her mouth with her hands when she yawned. "Why are you already awake, Hanna? Are you here to send me off?"

She had just finished taking a bath and was in the middle of choosing an outfit when Hanna arrived. Judging by the fact that the Crown Princess was already dressed up, she could tell that Hanna got up earlier than she did.

[Gosh, she's so dedicated as the Crown Princess.]

"Do you know why Nero was put on probation?" Hanna asked, standing in front of Neoma's walk-in closet while checking the dresses on the rack. "I'm sure you already know it was because he said he wanted to declare war against Helstor and the crows. But have you heard the real reason why he wanted to start a war?"
