Villain Princess.

Besides, Marquis Hans were already in his fifties. It was not that strange for him to retire and his son was already married away while his daughter would be married soon.

So why should he stay here?

Hearing this, the Yellow Kingdom King looked at the marquis in front of him and then said, "In that case, I hope you did a good job in your last work, Marquis Hans."

"Certainly, Your Majesty." 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

With that, Marquis Hans left.

Only the Yellow Kingdom King stayed on the throne. He had the feeling that there was something that he overlooked. But considering that this matter didn’t really involve other things, the Yellow Kingdom King chose not to meddle.

It was just some of the noble women’s problem, so the Yellow Kingdom King chose not to care.

And in this way, this matter was settled this way.

Later on, Adela heard that Kana moved away and felt better, not knowing that everyone was getting what they wanted.

...

Celeste Family’s Territory, Lucy’s side

Lucy actually didn’t want to leave the Capital Academy so early.

When her father’s letter arrived to her, Lucy knew that the situation at the border was not very good. But she didn’t understand how bad it was because from what she knew, the relationship between the Red Kingdom and the Yellow Kingdom was really good.

The other border was with the Mountain Kingdom but there was barely any relationship between the Yellow Kingdom and the Mountain Kingdom.

It could be said that the people in the Mountain Kingdom was a group of recluse.

There was almost no contact at all with them.

Geographically, the north west of Yellow Kingdom was bordered with the Red Kingdom. There was also some forest route that was specifically marked for them to travel between the two kingdoms as they have made an agreement with each other. While the two kingdoms were not completely at ease with each other, they trusted each other to a certain degree.

Lucy herself didn’t know much about it but from Aurora, she found out that the route should be guarded.

But Aurora herself had said that the guards for these routes were not very strict. It was relatively loose and there were many outlaws, so if they wanted to pass through the routes, they still have to be careful.

And the north border was with the Mountain Kingdom, which was also close to her family’s border. The Mountain Kingdom was different with the Red Kingdom and the other two kingdoms that needed peaceful relationship with each other because of the negotiation and so on.

Through Aurora, Lucy knew that these kingdoms were ’united’ because they needed to manage the water resources.

As for the specific, Lucy was not clear.

But Mountain Kingdom was different.

That lake didn’t cross the Mountain Kingdom’s territory and even one of the main source of the water came from the mountain in their territory. It was said that they have other water resources that was more important than this one, so they didn’t care.

In this way, the four kingdoms have conflicts with each other and the Mountain kingdom would not even bat an eyelids.

Aside from these four kingdoms, there was also the Ice Kingdom.

Ice Kingdom didn’t border Yellow Kingdom directly. Instead, they bordered the Mountain Kingdom and the Red Kingdom on the north of these two kingdoms. Because of this, the conflicts were mostly between the Ice Kingdom and the Red Kingdom.

Normally, there was no way the conflict between these two kingdoms would spread to the Yellow Kingdom.

The chance was small.

But there was still that small chance.

And Lucy didn’t want to take the bet.

So no matter what actually happened at the border, Lucy still took the time to return and see her father. She knew better than anyone that if the territory was truly in danger, then her presence might be able to help.

Even if it was only a little bit, Lucy hoped that she would be able to help the people in her territory

For this reason, she didn’t hesitate to return as quickly as possible.

Upon her arrival, Lucy looked fro her father.

But...

"There’s no war?" Lucy was dumbfounded when she heard her father’s words.

She had thought of countless possibilities, but she had never thought that her father didn’t tell her the complete truth in the letter.

Didn’t he say that the situation at the border was not optimistic, so he asked for her to return?

Now, he said that it was peaceful?

Lucy immediately felt that she had been cheated.

Lucy’s father, Count Celeste, saw his daughter’s expression turned bad and coughed. "I never said that there’s a war but the situation is not very good and the border is relatively unstable."

Count Celeste didn’t mean to lie to his daughter.

But he knew that if the situation was not described as serious, there was no way Lucy would return to the border earlier than the appointed time. And Count Celeste felt that it would be better for him to call Lucy back first.

He couldn’t think of any other way but this one. Because Count Celeste knew that his daughter cared for the people in their territory just like him.

This method would be able to make Lucy came back earlier.

Thankfully, he made the right choice.

But now, he had to explain to his daughter.

"Then explain to me." Lucy crossed her arms unhappily.

Everyone who had been lied to would definitely feel unhappy. Unless it was their hobby to be lied to by others but most people would not have that kind of hobby.

Count Celeste coughed. "Well, while our border is quite peaceful right now but the other borders are not the same. If it’s necessary, we might be called to help."

Called for help?

Lucy was dumbfounded. She knew how far the distance between one territory to other in the Yellow Kingdom. Moreover, it would not be so easy to transport soldiers from one place to another place.

It was even more so if the location was directly opposite of them.
