Third Life
The City
After seeing the departure of the Emperor and his entourage. Annelise walked over to Princess Maria.
Princess Maria is a 10-year-old daughter of the only child of Emperor Abraxas and the late Queen Catherine. He recalled that the Emperor did not love the mother of Princess Mary at all. Their marriage was just a political one should have married her was the elder sister of Emperor Abraxas who was the original heir to the throne. But unfortunately Crown Prince Arthur died at the age of fifteen due to severe illness.
According to Annelise the attitude of Princess Mary was similar to that of Emperor Abraxas who was firmly strong-willed, and a little stubborn. Unfortunately, Princess Mary had to die at the age of twenty-eight due to a rebellion that did not like the way she ruled and the throne was replaced by her daughter Sophia because Princess Mary had no children.
Indeed it seems like his return to the past there may be a change.
" Good morning, Princess Maria I am Annelise who will accompany you to the city" Anne said with a slight bow.
The Princess Mary who heard him only looked at him flatly before starting to speak.
" Okay, but I don't like being with her" said Princess Maria, refusing to let Annelise accompany her to the city.
Annelise who heard it was a little upset to see the attitude of the 10-year-old girl not having courtesy to the older person. But he had to hold her back because even so she was a princess.
" Sadly I cannot grant your request Princess. Because the emperor himself forced me to accompany you, and if you want to be alone I will leave you with the guards. I have other purposes besides accompanying you. So do you agree Princess." said Anne who tried to invite Princess Maria to the city.
Because Annelise has another purpose to come there for her bright future.
...****************...
Arriving in the city of Annelise and Princess Maria did not engage in conversation at all during the trip they just kept quiet with each other.
Princess Maria is unwilling to talk to her and Annelise is feeling awkward.
Princess Maria just kept quiet while glancing at Annelise.
" Where are you going, Lady, not someone like you supposed to be drinking tea at Duke Orhan's residence?" princess Maria asked remembering that today there was a tea ceremony at the residence of one of the Duke's.
Annelise who heard him gasp herself forgot that today there was a tea ceremony at the Duke's residence. It was the first time she met Tania Klinshki son of Duke Klinshki. Remembering the woman unknowingly Annelise clenched her hand and it was seen by Princess Maria who looked at her curiously.
Realizing that Annelise was showing her emotions, she immediately sighed before returning to speak.
" No Princess, I have to go somewhere do you want to come?" anne asked that distract him.
Princess Maria seemed hesitant before she nodded her head in approval to Annelise's offer.
Annelise who saw him smiled in satisfaction before she subconsciously grabbed Princess Maria's hand and took her walking.
The jolted Princess Maria was surprised to feel the hand grips as warm as her late mother even though she was present without feeling of love. But he loved both his parents very much.
Somehow seeing Annelise with him she could feel a mother who had gone missing.
" Who are you...
