A cute smile spread across Miss Katie’s lips.
Were my eyes sparkling as if I’m looking forward to meeting my favorite idol? I nodded eagerly.

Didn’t I grow up watching a lot of princess stories through fairy tales in my previous life? How beautiful and elegant can a real princess be? Won’t she be an actress-level beauty who would be praised as a goddess?

I came to the Empire to study, but the radius of my life was quite narrow.
Just like a high school senior studying for the CSAT every day, I spent my time only in the Sage’s Study.
It means that I had not properly enjoyed the culture of the capital.

I know the high-ranking Grand Duke and Kir, but they couldn’t fulfill my fantasy because they were too close to me.
So, I had higher expectations for the princess.
Believing that the real thing will be different! I’ll see what a princess’s grace is! Seeing my excitement for the first time, Miss Katie gave a small smile.

“If you’re lucky, you might see her face?”

“I want to leave soon!”

I hurriedly cleaned up and left the Sage’s Study.
My heart was pounding with anticipation for the princess’ beauty.
She’s a princess, so she must be more beautiful than Kir, right? It’s been a long time since I’ve seen Kir’s appearance at the level of a flower in full bloom, so I was uneasy.

For the first time, I went out alone without riding in a carriage.
Sometimes I went with a guardian – such as Mr.
Hafterry or someone from the Sage’s Study – but this was the first time I was completely alone.
It’s kind of exciting.
It’s just walking around alone, but it feels like an adventure.

Although I had rode in a carriage multiple times, and the view outside had become familiar, this exhilarating space had a different feel.
It was surprising that the road that always seemed static was crowded.

As the people of Taylon headed toward the central road, the festive atmosphere filled the streets decorated with paper flowers, flowers, and ribbons.
There were musicians who played on the street, and people selling food in simple carts.
I took out my pocket money and bought fruit juice to drink.

It was not even the day of the national wedding, it’s just the bride coming to town, hence it felt strange that they were being so passionate.
Was it because the existence of the royal family itself had a symbolic meaning?

Perhaps, since I lived a previous life without a king, I couldn’t sympathize with people enjoying things like this.
I had to get used to it now, as it was a big deal regardless of my emotions from my previous life.
