章節 53: Panic

The three of them boarded the luxurious magic carriage to the royal palace. The driver didn't follow them. The carriage was powered by magic and could fly so the trip was short. As they came near the palace, the buildings gradually changed style and became more Asian and Japanese-styled, showing how fond the Queen was of Japan.

They arrived safely at the palace and quickly walked to their destination. It was Lilica's first time in a palace and she was very nervous. The palace was off-limits to normal people. Lilica glanced around secretly, taking in the grand view of the palace. The palace was decorated in a Victorian style but Lilica noticed that there was another building near the palace that was grand and looked similar to Osaka Castle[1].

Suddenly, Kazuya came to a halt in front of a door, causing Lilica who was looking around to bump into his back. Lilica then realized that they had reached their destination and she would soon meet his parents. The thought of it made her feel even more nervous and out of place. She still felt that she wasn't worthy of him.

Sensing her worries, Kazuya glanced at her and reassured her with his look. Lilica took a deep breath as Kazuya opened the door.

All eyes were on them at that moment. Kazuya quickly walked in and greeted his parents at the same time as Lilienne, which made Lilica, who was still stunned at the sight of his beautiful and young parents, come back to reality and panicked. She had missed the right timing to greet them.

"Greetings to the King and Queen." Lilica said as she bowed politely. Even though she was late, it was better that she greeted them so they would have a good impression of her. She had forgotten to greet the figure sitting on the examination bed. She then realized that his brother was also there when Kazuya and Lilienne turned to his direction.

"Greetings to the First Prince." Lilica hurriedly said as she bowed to him after realizing her mistake of not greeting him.
