Chris's Faith of Fire

"It's nothing. If I have to say... I'm actually a little happy. After all, isn't Noelle very cute and well-behaved? Although the twin sister is a bit tricky, she won't mess around again."

"Hey... um..."

"Hey! Stop keeping a straight face and smile."

I stepped forward and pinched her soft cheek gently.

"Well, Your Highness, don't be like this."

"Haha, just laugh out loud. As for me, because I have never had many friends, I feel like I am doing everything alone... I didn't feel much at first. I always thought that it doesn't matter if I invest my energy in other things. But Well, I was wrong, so wrong... After all, it is difficult for a person to live alone."

The older I get, the more lonely I become, and I gradually begin to lose the motivation to live.

Only then did I realize that family and friends are truly irreplaceable.

But it was too late when it was discovered.

"Your Highness...I can help you at any time and do anything!"

I looked at the maid whose eyes became firm.

"Really? Then I'll reward you."

"But I don't have anything else..."

"It's enough to have this kind of thought. Well, I'll give you a reward. By the way, I'll give you a day off. You can also bring Crow with you on Holy Sabbath Day. Come hang out with me."

"Really, really? Your Highness."

Her reaction to this looked quite happy.

"Well, it would be best if we could all be together."

I have never felt that my words were so sincere, pure and without any impurities.

Chapter 25 25. Memories from childhood——5

Although people all over Gilkern call themselves the People of the Wind, in fact the people who truly possess this trait belong to the Sestotian region in the west.

Legend has it that they were protected by the goddess of wind and were naturally fond of traveling and doing business.

Driving a long carriage pulled by sixteen horses, he traveled around the continent. If possible, he would cross the Sea of ​​Mist to Nefrait or Parya to sell his goods. What the horse pulled was his own shop. It is also my own residence.

This is the ideal life pursued by the people of the wind.

During their long journey, they met like-minded merchants, skilled mercenaries, or traveling performers and bards who wanted to gain their popularity.

So when their large caravan came to the town, the scene was like a festival.

"There are a lot of people on Mining Street today...Ah, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to look down on Mining Street."

Leaving the palace feels like leaving the birdcage and gaining great freedom.

The sky outside does not have the gray feeling that I see from the castle window, and the smell of the air outside the house that is mixed with the smell of earth and sunshine makes me feel fresh.

"You don't have to apologize for this at all, Your Highness Crystal, today is indeed much more lively than usual."

In the "Cang Yue in the Night" shop, the fairy landlady helped me change my clothes while telling anecdotes about the people of the wind.

In this world, it always feels like every land and people are full of stories and legends, which is really interesting and fascinating.

For me, who has always been at home and working, all this is so far out of reach.

However, things are different now. The entertainment methods in this world are poor, and people, regardless of their status, get along with their friends every day.

There are no cold machines or convenient props...

But it doesn't make people feel boring.

Maybe it's just that the novelty of this moment is not exhausted, so I want to enjoy this moment more.

"Hey... come on, I don't want to waste the whole day here."

The curtain used as a screen was suddenly opened by Sylvie. She had just changed her clothes halfway, and her body was exposed in front of everyone without covering up.

"What are you doing!"

Seeing Noelle turning his head hastily, I immediately grabbed the curtain to block my body.Although I didn't intend to do this, my body started to move subconsciously.

"They are all girls anyway..."

"That's not the problem at all! And Noelle is a boy!"

Fortunately, Crow felt that the atmosphere here was not suitable, so he stayed outside the store.

After hearing this, Sylvie pouted her mouth and turned her head dissatisfied.

"Sooner or later you will become his wife...hum."

"So this is not the problem anymore! Your etiquette is so bad, I am still a princess no matter what!"

"Oh, can you please hurry up, Princess... Your Majesty?"

The pronunciation was deliberately prolonged to ridicule me. Although I was quite unhappy about it, I still have to be more tolerant towards children.I gently closed the curtain.

"It'll be fine in a moment, just wait a moment."

Why on earth did the Duke allow Sylvie to go out?

It is said that she begged her parents hard before agreeing, but she suddenly relented.

Since I didn’t have any clothes that could be worn outside, and Sophie’s outfit wasn’t too cute, we came here to buy clothes first.

Last time I couldn't buy the clothes because the little thief and Sylvie got in the way.

After seeing Mr. Mihir, the goblin shop owner seemed to understand our identities, and he seemed not to care about what happened before.

Thinking about this, I put on the clothes I just selected.

The black and white Lolita-style dress that I tried on before had a small silver crown on the head and a ribbon knot on the neckline, which looked very cute.

"It's perfect, Your Highness."

"Well, I think it's pretty good too, so I'll buy this one. I have cash to pay for it today."

"Thank you for your patronage."

She showed a charming smile, wrapped the clothes I changed into, and sent us out of the store.

"Did you enjoy your shopping? Your highness, your new clothes are really beautiful."

"Thank you, Mr. Crowe."

The civil servant who had been waiting outside for a long time bowed and then complimented my clothes.

Although he was a bit happy in terms of mood, he felt pitiful when he saw Sophie's face turned gloomy next to her.

I haven't seen this guy for several days, and I don't know how he gets along with Sophie... Sophie is unwilling to say anything, and runs away with a blushing face every time.

Speaking of which, he hadn't even complimented her on her clothes today. Although it was indeed a bit plain, not saying anything was completely unbecoming of a lover!Sophie is the type who doesn't express her dissatisfaction at all.

"Mr. Crowe, what do you think of Sophie's appearance today?"

I took Sophie's hand and pulled her to me.

He stared at the civil servant in front of him with wide eyes and asked him to answer quickly.

"Sophie is also very cute, of course."

"What's the matter with this attitude of being like a accessory!"

"No, I'm just telling the truth."

What, that expression of scratching one’s head and not knowing what to do!There is nothing to hesitate about.

"Your Highness, don't force Master Crowe."

"what?"

"That's not the case at all, Sophie. Although I do think it's cute, there must be no man who just compliments his lover naturally."

"Lord Crow!"

In the end, Sophie helped each other instead, and there was a flash of inapproachability between the two.

I'm such an idiot for worrying about their feelings.

Afterwards we also went to visit some shops.

Including the blacksmith shop that I didn't dare to enter last time, Noel enchanted his dagger in Mr. Free's enchantment shop. He felt that the price was cheaper than the shop he had been to before, so he smiled happily.

There was something unexpected when I went to the bookstore. I came to the corner alone and saw some books sandwiched between the corners. I turned it over and read the middle page carefully.

"Well……"

Snap, immediately closed it again...

Horrible, why would such a thing exist?

So are there so many female guests?

I quickly stuffed the book back into its place and pretended that I had never read anything.

After getting tired of shopping in the shops, we unanimously decided to go to the market. After all, we originally came out for the merchants of Sestodia.The pen that Crowe gave me before was probably bought from these people.

At some point, Noelle and Sylvie ran away to nowhere.

Just when I was about to ask Mihir who was standing next to me, she turned her gaze to the distance.I followed her line of sight and saw the twin brother and sister walking back to us through the crowd.

Sylvie's cheeks were red, and her brother was pushing her in front of me.

"Xie'er, apologize to Chrissy properly."

Apologize?Is it because of the attack on me before?Not that I care that much.

The girl blushed and leaned over, her hands behind her back and her eyes looking to the side.

"Before... I'm really sorry. I really didn't know you were Princess Chris when we were in the alley for the first time."

Hey, hey!

what happened?Is this willful little girl apologizing to me?

Are her vocal cords capable of saying the word sorry?

"Don't be silent...this is for you."

She whispered as she handed me a purse similar to the one that was taken away with both hands.

Oops, suddenly I think she has become cute too.

"thanks……"

I took the purse and found it was a bit heavy... When I opened it, I found a ring.

"that is really good."

Noelle suddenly said something.

"what……"

"My father only allowed Sylvie to come out because she promised to buy gifts and apologize to Chris."

"No, I mean she gave this to me too?"

The young man lowered his eyes, with light red ripples on his fair cheeks. He touched my palm hesitantly and spoke intermittently.

"This... is... a... gift from the betrothed."

It took almost all of my strength to say this, and even I seemed to be infected by his mood and became shy.

"Thank you... thank you, I will cherish it."

Which finger should it be worn on?

Sophie smiled when she saw my troubled look and helped me put it on my left ring finger.

"What a congratulations, Your Highness..."

"Stop being so wordy!"

Seeing everyone smiling softly as if they were protecting us... Sylvie didn't smile at all, but I felt more and more embarrassed and planned to leave quickly.

"Your Highness, there is the market square ahead, and the Sestotians should be gathering there. There are very many people, so please stay with me, Your Highness!"
