[Vol. 4.5] Chapter 99

We reached after two and an half days of sailing.

As our ship reached the port of Kohoshi. The people of Kohoshi welcomed us. Apparently, they knew of our coming.

The city was decorated with lanterns and their native ornaments. It looked so colourful and beautiful.

My father asked, "Shall we go, Rose?"

I nodded and started to follow him. Behind, me my mother and our people. The knights were all lined up and we saw their knights had lined up as well behind an old man. His attire was a bit different but I saw the people behind him wearing the same kinds of clothings. They all were wearing robes that covered their whole bodies. The knights were wearing trousers but the had head bands and nearly everyone of them had really long hair. Including the old man.

My father said, "He is the former Daimyo of Kohoshi, Prince Hijiro. His son is Prince Daichi who is the current prince of Kohoshi."

I nodded and as we reached, I curtsied and he looked at me with blank face. My father gave a nervous smile as well as my mother and I saw they were bowing.

Then I recalled I had to bow.

The maid who was behind me tugged at my sleeves and whispered in urgency, "Bow..."

I immediately bowed to him and he started to laugh. I got flustered as people behind them started to laugh too.

He said something to my father and my father said something to him in their language. I had no clue as they both looked at me and the old man nodded with a broad smile. He wasn't displeased, was he?

I looked at my maid and asked, "What are they saying?"

"He said that he liked you because you were following your own tradition."

I was a bit confused and looked at the old man who felt my gaze on him and turned his head at me. He smiled and gave a nod.

I had to say a different kind of warmth was emanating from him. He seemed so kind and forgiving. My heart felt at ease that they were very good people maybe his son was like him too.

My father even swayed by the old man's welcoming behaviour.

They took us to their carriages and I saw there weren't any seating arrangements. My father sat on his knees on the cushion, his posture was different. He looked stiff but he held his head high. Seeing him, my mother followed the same position beside him and I asked the maid, "That's how we sit?"

She nodded and said, "Make sure your back is straight, my Lady. And whenever you see the higher ups, please bow to them."

I nodded and hopped on the carriage and sat before my father.

In my gown and hoop skirt, it was very different and the corset was making it difficult for me to breath.

I saw my mother was feeling the same as she said, "It is difficult to get air."

"That is why I had told you not to wear the corset..." My dad said as my mother pouted.

"But I arranged the best dresses in all Greatheart!" She complained, "Isn't my daughter is looking so beautiful!?"
