Chapter 147

They said that guards would be prepared for our departure, so I wondered how many guards they would gather, but it was a let-down to see that they only totalled 50 people . It happened a few days before our departure .
Prince Albert said that he didn’t need people to wait on him hand and food, so adding up his guards and attendants, he travels with 10 people altogether .
“There are no thief groups in Kingdom like in the old stories . Even if someone does attack us, their groups won’t be more than 10 people, so it’s okay . If we increase the number of people by more than this, then we’ll be a nuisance in the places we stay at . ”
Or so he said . Apparently, it looked bad for a royal to stay at an inn so he would always stay at the residence of some noble in the places he visited .
Nii-sama and Gill also had guards with them, and Prince Albert had assembled the elite convoy corps . Of course, I have Hans and Natalie with me to look after me .
I had a deep connection with the convoy corps even though I’m still only two . When I was kidnapped, the convoy corps went with Otou-sama to chase after me and they went to Wester’s border to pick me up too . A young man who looked stubborn led the convoy corps . It seemed like he was serving as the captain this time as well . His name was certainly, “Gracesh,” or so I think .
Graces said, “You remember me, Leilsama,” and his serious expression loosened a little .
“You don’t seem like Milord’s daughter,” I’ll pretend I didn’t hear that mutter . We were meeting each other, but it seemed that Prince Albert also had things to discuss with the convoy corps .
“It’s because they’re two and three . ”
“I’m nearly four . ”

“It’s because they’re two and nearly four . ” It was amusing to see Graces correct himself when Nico retorted . Prince Al talked to Graces about our journey .
“Still, Leilsama is used to travelling . She was able to come back from Wester on a schedule that could be compared to an adult’s . ”
“But, Nico is three . ”
“Nearly four . ”
“Nico is almost four years old, and I don’t think he would be able to stay still in the carriage . I think we should take a lot of breaks and get to an inn early . ”
Shouldn’t you have made plans beforehand and informed all the nobles in the places we’ll be visiting? I think that it would be a nuisance to the nobles in the places we’re going to since they still haven’t decided on a schedule . However, we weren’t in a rush on this trip . My precious Otou-sama is waiting for me at the royal capital and Nii-sama will always be with me on this trip . I don’t feel anxious at all .
“Nico, shthudy . Can’th be hewped even if we’re thogethher . ” I said to Graces . Even if this was for Prince Al’s marriage interview, Nico also had to study .
“You…”
“Whath are you doing?”
Prince Al crouched down in front of me and pinched my cheeks with both his hands .

“Even though you’re only two years old, and not used to travelling, you’re still trying to get a say in the itinerary . Ooh, it feels soft . ”
“Leth go . ”
Stop rubbing and pinching my cheeks . Then, someone finally stopped His Highness .
“Prince Albert, please let go, that’s childish . Just because Prince Nico gets along with Lei-sama, doesn’t mean you can act shamefully towards her . ”
“Hans, you’re saying too much . Even if that’s true, you’re being disrespectful . And, it’s not Prince Nico, it’s Prince Nicholas . ”
“Luke-sama, I’m sorry . ”
It was Hans and Nii-sama . Hans bowed admirably and rephrased what he had said, “Prince Albert, please let go . It’s indecent even if Leilsama is close with Prince Nicholas . ”
“Just because you say Prince Nicholas doesn’t mean that the rest of your sentence isn’t disrespectful . ” Prince Al scolded Hans while taking his hands away from my cheeks and standing up . Good grief .
“Lei, are you alright? My Uncle acts like a child sometimes . ”
Nico gently touched my cheeks . He was really different from his Uncle .
“Nico, I thought you were on my side . ”

Prince Al looked depressed . Why don’t you decide on the itinerary instead?
“I thought we could visit various places ahead of time, but we shouldn’t push ourselves . Let’s keep to the original schedule and take it slowly . It’ll be easier to stay in Neville since the Albans are with us . ”
I have uncles in Neville and there are Rug Dragons there too . Apparently, they had already decided on a schedule, but they were discussing whether we should come back earlier or not . I’m fine, but I think they should make a schedule that gives us plenty of time since Nico is coming along .
“That’s fine . Lei seems used to travelling, but she needs time to nap . She sleeps a lot after all . Uncle, you should consider this little matter and travel slowly . ”
“Nico, impreshshive!”
It seemed like Nico’s words were the deciding factor . The guards got lively . I also want to discipline Nico as his study partner . I praised Nico, crossed my arms and nodded .
“Why do two young children have the right to decide?”
“Well, because we’re only going over what we had already decided . ”
Prince Al sighed for some reason, but Nii-sama was looking at him as if saying he was reaping what he sowed . After it was decided that we would go on a journey, Nii-sama gathered information from the Academy and talked to Mark .
The day when I came back home from preparing for the trip, Otou-sama secretly told me, “I don’t know if you’ll understand me even if I tell you this, but Prince Albert is going on this trip so that it wouldn’t cause trouble to the other side, but he’s not travelling for pleasure . So, he thought it would be fun if he took his beloved nephew with him . The royal family is pressured more than the Four Marquises to stay in the royal capital . Prince Albert has hated that ever since he was little, that’s why he wanted to take Prince Nico out while he still could . ”
I don’t care about the reasons, but I think it’s good for Nico to travel .
“The problem is that we were conveniently dragged in . To be honest, I wanted to confront the Third Prince with Otou-sama . ”
“Lei two . ”
“You can’t Lei . ”
Nii-sama was lying down next to me and he shook his head .
“I felt like there was a bigger problem in the royal capital rather than the north . I’ve talked to Mark about the situation, and have had a serious discussion with you, but what will happen?”
“Marw . ”
I looked at Nii-sama as if saying was it really alright to talk to him about it? Nii-sama giggled and poked me in the cheeks .
“He seems to have his guard down around us and does act childish, but he’s still the heir to the Molesey House . You can trust him . Having said that…”
Nii-sama looked up at the ceiling anxiously .
“He’s not close with the Remingtons . There’s nothing he can do about Felicia and Chris . ”
I didn’t understand why Chris’s name was mentioned at that time . I only thought that it would have been great if Chris could come along too .
