Bab 82: Chapter 82

Maxi pulled back the curtains of the carriage window and took in the passing scenery. White birch trees flanked the well-paved road in wide rows. Warm sunlight streamed through the branches like rain. The princess smiled as she listened to the chirping of the birds.

"I'm glad it's sunny today. I was worried when I saw the rain clouds yesterday. Fortunately for us, they moved westward."

"Might I ask where our first destination is?"

"I was… thinking of… the village square, Your Highness."

"We passed the square on our way to the castle yesterday. I noticed that there were a lot of taverns and street vendors there."

"Your Highness, surely you are not intending to drink away the day at this hour?"
