Chapter 429: The Emperor’s Daughter 429
‘I’m here . ’
Unlike the central and southern regions that were always noisy because of the war, the north seemed to have a relatively stable situation and numerous prosperous cities . It wasn’t just the capital that had developed, but many other cities in the country . It was all because of the God’s Wall, which was guarding the cities and towns against winter . No matter how cold it seemed, there was still warm weather below the wall . Thanks to that, the city developed, providing people with many things to see .
Right, I didn’t come over to Sherto for nothing!
Bruges, the largest of the southern cities, was fascinating in a sense . I saw many other cities on the way here, but everything else just went away from my mind when I arrived in Bruges .
‘So many pretty buildings!’
“Valer, look at that!”
With the wagon window wide open, I pulled Valer to show him what I was seeing .
Two towers reaching to the sky with a vast boulder near the gates caught our attention . The two towers seemed to attach to the other as if dependent on each other—the famous twin towers .
“Oh, the twin towers!”
The tower, very similar to Decalcomani, stood right in the middle of the city . The symbol of the city was engraved on it .
Under the colossal tower, I could see trillions of fragments .
The closer the wagon got, the more I wanted to see it; the magnificence of the tower made me in awe .
“Is it all carved out of the wall?”
“Wouldn’t it be? It must have been challenging . ”
“Right . Horribly difficult . ”
As Valer and I nodded with serious expressions, Ahin smiled . On the other hand, Assisi thought of it as just another tower and seemed uninterested .
Havel felt the same .
Those killjoys, how could they not like these pretty buildings!
Of course, we were traveling, and I knew that they were sick of traveling, but they had such gloomy expressions! It was my first time seeing such things!
Glancing back at the two people, I turned towards the tower . We were getting closer to it; no matter how high I raised my head, I couldn’t see where it ended .
However, I wasn’t feeling bad for not seeing it altogether because of the embellishments and sculptures on it .
I really admired it .
It must have been tough to build that!
The buildings in the city were so beautiful that I felt rewarded just watching them .
Architects truly were the engineers’ artists .
It was said that this city was the most cultural and artistically developed one in Schertogenbosch, so its nickname, ‘city of stars,’ was natural . Right, I hadn’t watched the night view yet, but it was fine even if I didn’t get to see it .
The magnificent buildings, starting with the statues and the avenues, the delicate effort put into the structures, these were things I would never get to see in Agrigient .
I would often think of the city, but seeing it in person, man, it was different .
Even a person of no taste for such talent or caliber could enjoy these things! Such buildings, I wondered how they managed to build them . My head was rolling .
Also, they had such great inns for tourists .
“Ah, once we’re done unpacking, let’s go around . ”
“Great!”
Once I heard Valer’s suggestion, I loved it; even Assisi, who was watching from the side, smiled . Ahin smiled at me, but being a shy girl, I bowed my head, not knowing why .
Hmm, no, I was just happy, so happy .
Usually, I wasn’t the kind to travel or come out of the house, but it felt refreshing for some reason . Was this why people went on trips? I was already feeling excited .
The only ones excited about the trip were Valer and me, but it was fine . It was their loss . Suckers .
The roads were well maintained, so the wagon managed to reach our destination quickly . With Ahin’s advice, we decided to stay in the inn close to the pagoda, but he wasn’t joining us in our stay .
“Are you leaving?”
“Yes . ”
He was getting off, but I couldn’t say anything .
I thought of saying something, like cheer up, but I couldn’t muster the courage to speak . There were times when words would destroy the mood .
Knowing my feelings, Ahin smiled . That smile made me feel more apologetic .

Huh .
Once Ahin joined the group, the original plan of our trip around Sherto were canceled .
Above all, our schedule to go to the capital was revised . Our plan to visit the Holy Land was removed too .
We couldn’t help it because Ahin joined us .
The existence of Ahin, a successor in the North, would cause havoc . He wasn’t just another individual on a trip .
Honestly, I would have been satisfied with just looking around and heading back home right away, but last week was the most satisfying because Ahin and Valer’s plan worked .
The plan was to go to Bureti through the southern cities, taste all their local cuisines, and visit all that could be enjoyed . I wanted to bring dad along for our next trip .
Above all, the taste of food differed in every city . After all, some food was exquisite to a few cities .
Ahin made the trip easier . He and Valer were familiar with Sherto City . However, when Valer went out to see a few things, I felt a little lost .
When Ahin joined, the feeling disappeared .
Besides, wherever we went, we got all kinds of benefits for being in Ahin’s group . We could quickly enter the city, visit places that required prior bookings, and have great city accommodations . Maybe that was why I felt like we had a luxurious package tour .
I saw many advantages in being with Ahin, but he had to stay in the pagoda in every city we visited .
Ahin said that he had to do it because of his role . I understood that, but I felt terrible . It felt like we were enjoying a trip orchestrated by a friend who was tired after a busy day at work .
“I am fine . I am not here to play . ”
He spoke those words to comfort me, but they would always make me sadder . Ahin smiled to show me that he was really feeling fine . Since I couldn’t wipe the sadness off my face, he spoke .
“If you are that worried, then come by and stop near the pagoda after our tour . ”
“Uh, is it okay for us to come there?”
“Yes, you can . ”
‘Really? But…’
“Wouldn’t it get in the way of your work?”
“If I’m with the Princess, then I don’t think so . ”

Hmm, hmm .
It might not have meant anything, but I felt good .
I was worrying about nothing and tried to smile . However, the tower was a place that couldn’t be entered unless one was a priest of Sherto . Foreigners were especially prohibited from entering .
That was when Ahin added his words as if he knew what I was thinking .
“I will inform them in advance that my guests will come . If you are my guests, then even outsiders will be granted permission . ”
“I will come!”
That would be fine .
Ahin was happy with my answer, which came right away .
Hm, did I answer too hastily?
I really meant it, though . I felt a little shy at the way I answered, so this time, I added softly .
“Really . I will definitely come . ”
Ahin smiled, seeing my sincere answer .
I had the same feeling in my stomach every time Ahin smiled . I could know what it meant to feel the warmth of a person . At first glance, his cold eyes wouldn’t seem like the kind to smile, but maybe that was why his smile could entice others .
“I will wait . ”
Even if I couldn’t go sightseeing, I was definitely going over to visit the pagoda, and with that, I got off the wagon .
“See you later!”
Once we greeted, the doors of the wagon closed, and it moved to the pagoda . I nodded, telling myself to go there at all costs .
Seeing my expression, Valer tilted his head .
“What is up?”
“Shut up . You’re ugly . ”

Valer’s expression hardened .
He made a hurt face but smiled .
‘Weak humans . Get stronger and come back later!’
On the other hand, Assisi wasn’t interested as ever; he would occasionally glance at me and get caught .
Assisi was very quiet .
Usually, it was something one would do when a mistake was made, and I was worried about his silence .
I’d talk to him later .
I could fathom the thoughts running through Ferdel and Caitel’s mind, but it was tough to know what Assisi was thinking . I never knew what he was thinking . Something simple or complex, Assisi had the same expression .
I gave up on understanding Assisi . When the time came, I would know . Instead, Havel made me feel uncomfortable the most . He would look at me without saying anything, and it made me feel weird . I hadn’t committed any sin, but he was making me feel like a convict . Why?
Even since Ahin joined, the tension lowered noticeably, and I could go around more, but I was still worried . He wasn’t talking much . Even speaking with him made me feel uncomfortable, but this silence was making me feel discomfort .
Ugh, how was I supposed to solve that?
“What are you dawdling about? Come on in . ”
“Huh? Uh, yes . ”
I was feeling fortunate that I had Valer with me .
Well, there was, at least, someone there on my side .
