Holiday in the capital

As the sun and moon continued to change, the promised weekend finally arrived.

Noah walked towards the palace gates, only to see Stella already waiting enthusiastically for him.

"Noah, hurry up, don't waste any more time." Seeing Noah's arrival, Stella couldn't wait to shout for him.

"Ah yes yes, I know, why are you so impatient, it's still early in the morning" Noah was helpless in facing Stella's enthusiasm and could only respond carelessly.

"moo, of course because father never allows me to leave the palace, so hurry up" Stella puffed out her cheeks, dissatisfied with Noah's careless answer.

Seeing Stella's sweet behavior, Noah couldn't help but rub her head.

"Don't treat me like a child, I'm your older sister." Feeling Noah's hand touch her head, Stella slapped her hand in dissatisfaction.

Seeing Stella acting like an adult, Noah just smiled lightly, because he thought Stella was a younger sister if he counted her mental age.

"Don't you want to go out quickly?" Noah reminded Stella to divert her dissatisfaction.

"That's right, come on quickly, I want to take a walk around the capital" Stella quickly forgot about the incident and ran out of the main gate.

"Hei, wait, don't run around alone" Noah quickly chased Stella and was followed by Hans who acted as her guard.

"..Hmmm..." Stella looked around curiously while humming.

This was her first time out of the palace, as the news that he had 30x the magic power of an A rank Blazer had become known to the world at large and was even called a prodigy in the past decade.

Therefore, to protect her from people with bad intentions, Sirius forbade Stella from leaving the palace. So you can imagine how happy Stella was, like a caged bird suddenly freed from its narrow cage into the wide world.

"Hey, isn't that the prince?" Resident A said when he saw Noah.

"Right, let's say hello" resident B answered resident A's question.

"But who is the beautiful red-haired girl beside him? Is she the second princess, Stella Vermilion-sama?" Merchant A asked curiously.

"That's right, she is Princess Stella, I saw her on her 5th birthday," said a man who at first glance looked like a nobleman or big businessman judging from the clothes he was wearing.

"Good morning, Noah-sama," said passerby A to greet him.

"Good morning" Noah answered with a smile.

"Prince, is this Stella-sama?" Passerby B next to him asked curiously.

"That's right, she is my older sister, Stella Vermilion," Noah answered the question asked by the passerby.

"Good morning, Stella-sama, please taste my apple. I guarantee it is the best apple in the kingdom." When Stella and Noah passed a merchant, he handed Stella a fresh-looking apple.

"Okay, thank you uncle." Stella accepted the apple happily.

"You're welcome, Stella-sama," the merchant answered generously.

Oh yes, the Vermilion kingdom is a country in the corner of Europe, along the coast of the North Sea.

Originally part of the Kingdom of Cradleland, until it became independent hundreds of years ago. Its main industries include livestock, tourism, cut flower exports, and natural gas.

The capital is Flareverg. The greatest characteristic of this country is the loyalty of its people to the imperial family.

This loyalty was established when the first Emperor of Vermillion led the war against the Cradleland Kingdom.

This emperor, originally a duke named Vermillion, could not stand his tyranny over weaklings, leading to a rebellion.

Even today the love between the people and the imperial family makes the entire country a big family.

"Noah, let's eat, do you know where it sells delicious food?" Stella asked Noah as she felt hungry.

They had been wandering around the capital of Flareverg all afternoon, because this was Stella's first time leaving the palace, so she forgot to eat because she was very excited about this trip and the enthusiastic welcome of the residents made her very happy.

"Hmm... let me think about it first," Noah put his hand on his chin while thinking about where to eat.

"Okay, come with me, I know a place that sells delicious food around here" Noah said as he took Stella's hand to lead the way.

As for where Hans is? He had been watching the two of them from a distance so as not to disturb them with his presence.
