I don't want to see them. But It's not like I can ignore them. They are the Royals of an EMPIRE after all. I have to greet them at least. And It's just for a week. Yes. It's not that long. 

Sigh~

I wonder who else came with them… The Emperor, Rubena… Did the Empress come? What about the Crown Prince? 

What about other Aristocrats? I mean, many Duke and Marquis came along with the Royals too. Then...

"...Bell."

"...bella…"

"Isabella!"

The Empress called me while putting her hand on my one shoulder. I flinched at the sudden touch.

"Ah-"

"Are you alright, dear?"

The empress asked with a worried voice.

"Yes. I am fine. I was just thinking about something. I apologize."

"Is that so?... Well, it's okay. Anyways we have already reached our main tent. Let's get in."

"Yes."
