The princess's first expedition is set!

One afternoon in Ireland. In a corner of Egdiel Castle, in the apartment of Princess Alicia, the princess's maid of honor, Annie, crossed her arms and announced, "The destination is the Marquess of Rosen, Lord Jude Nicole's mansion.

The destination is the Marquis de Rosen, the residence of Lord Jude Nicol!　There's a port town nearby, Herd, and there's quite a difference in temperature between day and night!　Stay up to 7 days!　We're going to spend one night in the city of Fawliss on the way, so we'll need about ten days' worth of cargo in all!

"Your arm is bouncing.

Across from Annie, Martha clasps her hands together and nods in agreement. It's hard to tell from her laid-back voice, but it's clear from her eyes that she's full of motivation.

Clasping her hands tightly, Annie declares loudly.

'Our mission is to make the princess comfortable for ten days!　Let's pack up!

"Oh!

"Oh!

A cheerful and energetic voice, echoing with Martha's languid voice. It's not just a matter of how much time you have left, it's also a matter of how much time you have left.

It's not just a good idea to have a good time with them, but also a good idea to have a good time with them.

'Hi, Princess!

"Why are you here~?

The plan is that this time should be used to prepare for the negotiations with the aide Clovis and the Marquis Rosen. Then Alicia replied matter-of-factly.

'I asked Clovis to change the time.

"What, why?

"Prepare for the trip, it's going to be fun!

The sky-blue eyes sparkle and Alicia's voice bounces innocently. ...... I hope the dark-haired aide is not sad somewhere in this castle, prioritizing packing over time with herself. I'm sure you'll be able to find out what's going on in the world.

I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to make it work.

I'm not going to be able to say that I'm not going to be able to do anything about it.

"Oh!

Once again, with the declaration of Alicia herself, we immediately began packing for the expedition.

Martha was in charge of selecting the clothes. It's not just a matter of time before you're ready to go. Alicia sometimes agonizes over clothing selection with Martha and chooses the books she wants to take with her.

I'm not only going to choose clothes for a different destination, but I also choose the same "town girl style" that I had the other day when I went out on the town in a hurry so that I could go out on the town of Held in a hurry. I also packed the brooch that Clovis bought for me.

When I was ready to put it together, Martha happily pulled something out of the bag.

'Yes!　I forgot something important!　Princess, I've got to take this girl with me!

"What, what?　What?

Curious, Alicia looks back and is surprised to see what Martha is holding in her hands. It was a large stuffed bear that she had taken great care of in the past. Martha holds the bear, which had recently been left on display in a corner of the room, and rubs her cheek nostalgically.

"Princess, when I was a little girl, I used to carry her to sleep in my arms, right?

"Oh yeah!　Once I got under the bed or something, and I got lost, and I was like, 'I can't sleep without her! And crying loudly!

"Hey, hey!　When do you bring it up!

Alicia protests with a bright red face as they happily chat about the past. Yes, there was such a time, but that was a long time ago. Now Alicia can sleep properly in bed by herself!

But Martha's lips twitched as she hugged the bear, "It's good~".

"Because this is the first time we're going to a town far away! We're going to stay outside the castle! You might get lonely at night!

"What's not to be!

"Really?　Princess, when you wake up in the middle of the night, don't you want something to squeeze?

Martha as well as Ani will join in. You can find a number of different types of shoes for you to choose from. It's true that unlike the last time we went to Egdiel, this time we're going to stay overnight. And it's nearly 10 days. As expected, you might get lonely at some point.

Necessary, do you think?

"Yes, absolutely!

If you ask them anxiously, both Annie and Martha nodded confidently. It's a good thing that you're able to get a good deal more out of it.

...... allow you to take it with you.

"I'm sorry, sir.

Smiling happily, Martha furtively added a stuffed bear to the 'pile of things to take with you'. Beside her, Annie now pulls something out.

'Well, then!　I've got to take this one with me!

"Now what?　And, eh?

Again, Alicia rolled her eyes. It was a picture book that Annie pulled out that she used to read to me when I was little.

I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to make your life easier," Annie said sincerely as she flipped through the pages nostalgically.

It's a good thing that I was a little girl and loved this book. The chief mistress, me and Martha!　Whenever someone is near you, you can read this book - bring it to me immediately. Sigh. The princess was so cute back then, too!

"Ah!　I remembered what was in the book at that time. I remembered the contents of the books back then. Can you say that even now? Let's see, "Once upon a time, once upon a time..." (......)

"No, no!　You don't need that one, indeed!

Alicia shook her head at Annie, who tried to put the picture book on the "pile of things to take with you" as if it was a matter of course. Then Annie said, "No!　You need it! He put his hands on his hips.

'As I said before, this is the first time I've been away from the castle for ten days!　It's pretty lonely, leaving the home I'm used to!　It's hard!

That's right! The more one thing you can remember about your home, the better!　The night I left my house and entered the castle, I was very thrilled, too.

"Is that how it works ......?

When Martha purposefully wiped her eyes, pure Alicia looked uneasy again. With a look of anticipation, the two maidservants nodded widely.

'That's the way it is!

Absolutely, it will help you later!

...... I'm not quite sure what to make of it, but it's okay. Allow me to take it with me.

"Yay!

Annie and Martha were delighted with their hands and immediately put the book on top of the pile. It looked just like a stuffed bear hugging a picture book, and as a half-skeptical Alicia, it was indescribable.

Really, I wonder if I will need it. When Alicia frowned adorably like this, Annie suddenly looked at the pile of luggage and let out a smile.

''I never thought I would see the day when our princess would leave this room and go far away.

It's true.

Martha also looked at the pile of luggage and squinted as if to say again, "We've been taking care of Alicia-sama's personal belongings in this room for a long time, haven't we?

It's a good thing that we've been taking care of Alicia-sama's personal belongings in this room for a long time.

Yes, yes. It's kind of exciting to finally be on an expedition, isn't it?

Alicia looked up at the two of them as they stood side by side looking at the pile of luggage.

--I see. I'm sure it's not just Alicia who is lonely.

I'm sure you'll be happy to know that I'm not the only one. The two maids of honor rolled their eyes as the princess suddenly embraced them and looked down at Alicia at the same time.

''Hi, Princess?''

What's going on?

"Thanks, you two!

Alicia spoiled, pressing her head against the ground. Ani, who is firm, and Martha, who is carefree and fast-paced. They are both important followers, friends and sisterly figures.

It's not just a simple matter of time before you get to the point where you'll be able to see the difference.

'But wherever we go, we are together!　We'll be working with you for many, many years to come!

"Huh!

"Princess ......

Ani gasped and Martha's eyes welled up with annoyance. After a pause, the two maidservants hugged Alicia back as if she were a real sister.

'Really, princess!

We'll be by your side for a long, long time!

"Kuh, kuh, kuh, kuh!　It's so tight, you two!

Alicia screams as she is squeezed and hugged. After that, Alicia's private room continued to reverberate with the laughter of the three cheerful people ----.

Later on. The morning we leave in the carriage for Rosen territory.

It's not just a matter of time before you'll be able to get your hands on a new one.

'Dear Alicia, you can find those items at .......'

Don't ask.

With a blush on her face, it's not surprising that Alicia answered immediately.

From the end, a large stuffed bear and an equally large stuffed rabbit. Cat-print cushions and a few age-old picture books. They are arranged on a carriage chair, as if surrounding Alicia.

Sitting down in the middle of it, Alicia screamed inwardly.

(I told you it would be fine inside the carriage!

The faces of the two overprotective maidservants flashed through my eyelids. I'm sure that at this very moment, they are in the carriage next to me, worrying uselessly about whether or not they are crying, Princess.

It's not just a matter of time before you get to the point where you can get to know each other. Alicia didn't miss the smile that eventually appeared on her brilliant face.

'Huh, Clovis!　Now you're treating me like a child!

No way. I would never have such thoughts about my precious husband. ...... Phew.

"Ah!　Absolute lie!　~~Oh my god!　I'll even let Clovis borrow one!　Which one, bear or rabbit?

Then, by bear. Hmmm, thank you.

With a chuckle and a shake of the shoulder, Clovis laughs.

--The beautiful aide kept on laughing until the carriage left the city of Egdiel for a while.
