Sweets Shop Attempted Kidnapping

Tiara peeked out from behind me as the corpse of the assassin fell onto the ground.

"Is it ok now?"

"Yes, it's ok now," I assured her.

She stepped out from behind me to look at the assassin.

I'd thought that she might feel disgusted over the dead body but aside from some surprise and maybe a little apprehension, she did not look too distressed about it.

Perhaps she has seen something like this before?

As though reading my mind, Aria spoke up from behind me, "This is not the first time that the princess has been targeted, Young Mistress Nilm."

I spun around to look at the maid, "Eh?! You mean this has happened before?"

"Not this close to Her Highness, but there have been attempts made. Not just on the Third Princess, but also on the other members of the Royal Family as well."

Ah… Politics again… Can't say I'm surprised though…
