048. Imperial Prince is Enjoying the Festival (Part Two)

Meanwhile, red fruits continued flying around and dyeing the village crimson.

I guessed that the villagers and the dwarves were going to have a hard time trying to mop everything up later on.

It was then, my ears caught the laughter of children. I shifted my head in that direction.

Raphael's granddaughter, Alice Astoria, didn't seem to mind her own status while letting her hair down to enjoy the festival. It made some sense to me, considering that it must've been pretty rough working as a lady-in-waiting in that stuffy imperial palace.

She was tossing the red fruits at the other kids as if they were having a snowball fight. However, she must have lost to them once already, because she was dyed from head to toe in red by the time I saw her.

"You guys...!"

Alice was throwing the fruits at the children with a playful smile on her face.

The kids dodged her throws. But then... one of the stray fruits flew in and hit me on the head before going splat.
