2 Chapter 2

"It is cramped in here. You go with the maid carriage." Cold stares and harsh words made her backing off.

"I apologise for him. He is not too good with ladies. That's why he is single."

Her eyes lit up again as she chuckled. Marquis Kvasir knew then why the Empress seemed amazed when she saw her.

"You are taking so long, Jude. Take those maids' carriage."

"That darn duke." said Marquis Kvasir in his thought.

"Sure, I will be happy to accompany the Princess."

"Ah, it is okay, My liege. You can take the carriage with the Duke. I can take the maid carriage."

"It is my pleasure, Princess." Judah Kvasir kissed the hands of the Princess. It is small and seems that he can snap it if he adds more strength. Her skin was smooth. It has a shear of green, brown, and red to the colour. Not dark but not light either. Another proof that she is a real Princess of Musou. That skin colour was adored by many. The skin of the angels they said.

There were 3 maids inside. The carriage was smaller and could only take a maximum 6 people. The maids weren't so happy. Except one. Rosetta. The girl with fuschia hair.

"Please come in, Princess."

"You won't welcome me, Rossie?"

"You here too, Milord?"

Rosetta and 2 other maids were blushing.

"Yup, His Highness feeling too cramped there."

They turned their eyes to the princess. Inside they felt pity for the princess. She will be another victim of the Duke's endless quest of searching "Iris the Healer". This Iris, the Princess of Musou, will have the same fate as any other girl that he engaged before. He made them fall for him with those fancy hair and looks. However, in those 13 days courtship phase, those ladies were bullied and by the 14th, they would ask to break off the engagement. The Duke was too prideful to ask for the engagement cancellation. He forced all the ladies to say that on the 14th day by bullying them. They didn't even stay that long in the mansion. No one has ever reached the 13th day of engagement with the Duke.

All was silent when a cheerful voice said, "This will be a long journey. I brought a snack from my place. Please have one."

All eyes were glistening. They were so happy. The sheer pink cake with sweet and a little sour from a mandarin orange on top was out. This one Princess was so down to earth that they were touched. Isn't she the heir to the Musou Kingdom, how can she be so polite and humble in front of lowly servants?

The 5 of them happily eat. The coachman was also delighted to try the cake. When they stopped for resting and camping. All six of the "happy" carriage passengers were laughing cheerfully. Was it the cake or was it the smile of the Princess? Or maybe those moon beams falling on her hair that make them feel in awe? No one know. But the peace and light mood come surrounding them as the night side in.
