Bab 359: Assistance

Margaret teased Anna with a chuckle, "I thought some princess was here. It turns out it's just Anna." 

Anna laughed lightly, replying, "Oh, don't joke about that. My family is merely of knightly lineage, far from deserving the status of princess."

As Margaret slowly advanced, she said, "But your family is a branch of the esteemed Valuva clan. That's why your family holds such high prestige." 

Anna casually remarked, "That I wouldn't know. After all, our family only governs over four villages now, hardly a significant military force."

Margaret, with earnestness in her heart, said, "You may lack soldiers, but in crucial times, you could seek assistance from the Valuva family. The Valuva are a formidable family, with the renowned Earl Edward being a part of it."

Anna gave a bitter smile, her expression strained.
