" I mean, don't you think this is a bit... Wrong?"

" Relax, My Love, it's only for a day, she volunteered to do it. It's only right to accept the good will of a Foreign Princess!"

" Oh, so now it matters that she's a Princess?"

" Maybe? Would you like to hear her argue her point again, Darling?"

" Haahhh... No..."

" Good! Then let's get going, My Love!"

Big Sis and Anna began to pull Matthew forward between their arms like a dog who doesn't want to walk forward. Today was the last day we'd all spend in Zana, the past few days were quite relaxed, we've spent most of our time preparing for the long trek back to Paradise. What that meant for the citizens of Zana was Matthew, Big Sis and Anna visiting shops and purchasing supplies from them. What they didn't know is that Big Sis already had everything we needed for our group to head back to Paradise. I was actually surprised when she told me this, since her Mana Storage wasn't big enough to store that much food and medicine. Not to mention all of the items from Roseland Products that she keeps with her incase Matthew wants to attract a new costumer. The reason they were shopping was because Matthew wanted to give some money to the townspeople that were most affected from the battle that night. He made it a point to walk into the shops that were badly damage from either being hit by the plants or burned from the fires that were spread all over the town. The faces of the shop owners as he entered their stores were quite something.

" Alice, are you coming?"

Matthew called to me as he was being dragged, his expression was neutral, but I could tell from listening with my hearing that his pulse was quickening from Big Sis and Anna pulling him. In other words, he was a tiny bit embarrassed, and he was trying to alleviate it by talking to me.

" Of course!"

I began to walk beside them as we made our way through Zana for the last time. The reason for Matthew's uncomfortable feeling was because I volunteered to " work" as the bodyguard for the Drake family for today. Matthew wanted all of his guards as well as Ellie and Wendy to have a day off to rest and recharge before we left Zana. He actually wanted them to have 3 days off, but this was met with quite the resistance from the guardsmen and Wendy. Ellie on the other hand was all for it. It was only when Matthew mentioned that he would be spending the time going around with his wives, buying supplies in town. Ellie went from being on Matthew's side to joining the servants in a heartbeat. Eventually, the argument boiled down to Matthew saying that he had technically taken the few days after he found that creepy basement to rest. He more or less only really spent time with Big Sis and Anna, with him bringing that up, the servants eventually agreed to today being their only day off. Matthew decided to take the deal they offered in the end. As a Princess, it was quite strange to watch as the High-Ranking Noble gave into what could only be called the selfishness of his servants. I've never seen something like that happen before, Big Sis and Anna stopped me from bringing up how disrespectful it was for the servants to act like that, but before I could, Big Sis stopped me and spoke to me.

" This is how it always is, Alle. There's no point in stepping in. Just look at them now."

Big Sis pointed at the servants and... They all had big smiles on their faces. Ms. Flare began to walk towards us, and Big SIs began to speak again.

" Go ahead and ask her why they're like that."

Big Sis called Ms. Flare to where we were.

" What can I do for you, Lady Sarah?"
