✔DROP!! A TALE OF THE FRAGRANCE PRINCESS

Volume 3, Act 24: Boutique in the Noble District

The servants of the Pameradia House also returned to the mansion when the Founding Festival ended.

According to Emina, the Royal Capital was still bustling with more people than usual, but it was much calmer than when the festival was on. Most of the street vendors and tourists were already on their way home.

So itll be easier to go out with Christina-sama now, right?

Its a bit unfortunate.

I thought that there would still be some stores left But, Im happy to lose the temptations, since well be visiting a lot of stores.

Cordelia shrugged, and Emina laughed.

Then, there was a knock at the door, and when Cordelia replied, Lara came in.

Ojou-sama, Christina-sama is here to see you.

Okay. Ill be there right away. Emina.

Understood, Ojou-sama.

Christina-sama is at the entrance. I wanted to show her to the parlour, but she smiled like a princess and told me that the entrance was fine.

Lara smiled wryly because she had been entranced by a beautiful person. Cordelia went to the entrance with Emina.

Christina softened her facial expressions when she saw Cordelia.

Its been a while, Christina-sama.

How do you do, Cordelia-sama? Thank you for today. You too Emina-san.

The familiar voice, which entered Cordelias ears, was moderate and natural. Cordelia smiled and replied, Im looking forward to it.

???????

Cordelia lightly asked Christina about how she was, while the carriage was moving from the mansion to their destination. However, she could only ask things like, How is Earl Alcott? and Arent you tired from the Founding Festival? That wasnt because it was hard to make conversation with Christina, it was because they had arrived at their destination while they were talking. They hadnt met in a long time and even asking about how the person was caused a lot of time to pass.

(Its a shame. But, theres still time left in the day and I can talk to her when I get off the carriage.)

Cordelia thought as she got off the carriage.

This was the first time that Cordelia had stepped into the district that nobles frequented. After all, she had gotten out of the carriage in front of their mansions when she went to the Flantheim and Hale mansions. And the only place shed walked around when she was little was the artisan street, and her other outings only consisted of horse-riding to the forest.

She had walked around Ertiga in a dress before, but the atmosphere in the Royal Capital that she had never seen before made her gulp.

(This is a town, right?)

Yes, she had unintentionally confirmed that in her mind. She couldnt help but think that the scene in front of her was like a scene from a musical.

Everyone walking on the white stone pavement was dressed in gorgeous outfits. In the background, there were many large buildings supported by stone pillars, and there was even a huge theatre, and a lot of carriages were running on the roads.

(Its like Ive been sucked into a fairy-tale.)

She was used to large spaces because her mansion, and the mansions of her friends, were massive, but buildings lined up next to each other had a different appeal to them. Cordelia reflectively grasped the parasol that was in her hand.
