Chapter 549: Elizabeths Arrival (1/2)

Princess Thessalia was helplessly pulled away from her congee pot by Faelyn after coming so close to it. She watched the congee pot getting further away before she said, ”But I am hungr—”

”No buts!” Faelyn said stubbornly.

Her third eldest sister was covered in dirt from top to bottom. It was not just her closes that were dirtied. Even her hands, her face, and her messy blonde hair were covered in dirt.

What was the point of eating like this?

She would just get dirt in the congee bowl and possibly get an upset stomach later.

Although such a thing was normal for people, Faelyn still wanted her sister to avoid situations if possible. After all, it is not exactly pleasant.

Shortly after, Faelyn brought her third eldest sister to the newly constructed bathhouse and helped Thessalia wash up.

Once they were done, Faelyn continued to help Thessalia dry her hair in front of a mirror.

The both of them could be seen wrapped in white towels. Even so, it did not hide Thessalia's battle-hardened body and well-toned muscles without any excessive mass and weight.

The only difference was her old scars have all disappeared, giving her fair skin a refreshing look like a newborn baby after the bath.

Faelyn was surprised before said, ”Sister, you have such nice skin! You need to take care of your image more. Although you don't really care about these trivial things, but you are, after all, a lady and a princess nonetheless. If you dress up a bit and apply a touch of make-up, men would fawn all over you!”

”Do you also think really think so? Am I really too plain and tomboyish?” Thessalia asked after she quietly glanced at herself in the mirror and recalled Leon's words.

”Uhh... I wouldn't say tomboyish. That's a bit of an understatement. How should I put it?” Faelyn began finding her words before she explained, ”You're not feminine at all, sister. No, you're more manly than the average man.”

Faelyn never really minded how her third eldest sister was in the past. But after she established her relationship with Leon, she also began looking into her own third eldest sister's happiness.

Thessalia fell silent.

She appeared to be contemplating some things for a moment before she requested, ”Then… can you also teach me how to be more lady-like and beautiful too?”

”I would love to, sister!” Faelyn smiled with bright eyes, seeing that her third eldest sister seemed to have taken an interest in these things.

…

Meanwhile, General Marquis Hendrick organized a reception to welcome the Queen's arrival.

Tables and seats were neatly arranged on an open hill before lavish food and drinks were placed on top by the general's personal servants.

As General Marquis Hendrick observed the setup and nodded with satisfaction, a particular change in the wind compelled him to turn and look towards his eastern direction on the right.

Elizabeth softly landed on the hill with a shivering girl in her arms before they separated.
