"Hey, Sara. Are you really okay with this outfit?"
"It's okay. No matter how you look at it, you're dressed like a daughter of a merchant.

When I looked into the mirror, I saw myself in a simple navy blue dress wrapped in a cream scarf, with my hair tied in a single ribbon in the same cream color as the scarf.

This dress was a gift from His Highness.

Why are you dressed like this?
A few days ago, I received a letter from His Highness stating, ''Before we go to the territory, let's go to the dining room we recommended before''.
In other words, I was invited by His Highness.

We have a week before leaving for the territory. Therefore, rather than suddenly moving his parents far away in a carriage,
He agreed that it would be a good idea to go to a nearby place first.

In the past, I never thought of going to the city even though I lived in the royal capital for a long time.
An environment where merchants and designers come to the residence for everything you need, such as accessories and dresses.
Besides, I had a foolish idea why I, a noble, would go to a place where commoners live.

However, hearing from Sarah and others about the state of the public was lively, and I was thrilled just to hear it.
Therefore, I was excited to be able to go today. She had a hard time falling asleep, playing with Kuro and reading books until late at night.

I'm still very excited.
I wonder what Ichii feels like.

As I was deep in thought in front of the mirror, Kuro came up to my feet.
"What's wrong? Do you want to go with me?"
I squat down on the spot and look into Kuro's face.
Then Kuro circled around me. Then he slowly made his way to his own bed, gave a big yawn, and lay down.

"Yes, some people may be able to see spirits in the city.
I'd rather wait."

Kuro seems to understand people's words after all.
The other day, when I muttered, "It's almost time for Theodore-sama to come."
Even now, when I twitch my ears, after adjusting my posture by wriggling, I close my eyes and try to go to sleep.

When I was looking at Kuro like that, I heard a knocking sound.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived," said Paul from the other side of the door.

ok let's go

When I headed to the hall with Sara, my usual blond hair had changed to brown hair, and I was wearing a worn-out shirt and vest.
The shirt was originally white, but it turned brown, and the leather on the boots was worn out in places.

amazing.

How can the atmosphere change so much just by clothes and hair color?
However, the real face that can be seen through the slightly longer bangs is still well-ordered, and even now, just by standing, it exudes nobility.

Hmm.
I wonder if this kind of person doesn't stand out in the city.
I tilt my head involuntarily.

"Ah, Rachel. That figure is also cute.
If you have a girl like this, it seems like everyone in town will propose to you."
"Wow... that's too much praise."

When His Highness saw me, his eyes widened in surprise. And then, she immediately narrowed her eyes and gave a really happy smile.
That expression and the words from His Highness involuntarily made my cheeks heat up.

“Your Highness, what happened to your hair color?”
"Ah, this is a wig. Blonde hair really stands out. When I go to town, I wear a wig, and I'm an apprentice to a blacksmith who knows what's going on."
"Well! I didn't know His Highness was doing such a thing."
