A narrow mountain path with sunlight streaming down.

On the road near Benessa, a convoy of luxurious carriages was running.

At first glance, it doesn’t look like an ordinary procession, and it even has knights escorting it.

In a luxurious carriage running through the center, a woman with black hair and brown skin.

Imperial Princess Maev Rune Caesar Augustina was looking through the catalog with a pleased expression.

“As expected.. It seems like most of the things I expected are coming out as instructed in the dictionary.”

“Yes, indeed, Your Highness. It seems like Your Highness’ friends have done a pretty good job.”

“Certainly, our Noblesse children are quite capable. They are incomparable to the Sentinels who act as security guards within the Academy.”

Princess Maeb looks at the list of products with a pleased expression.

Although she had heard that there were a lot of annoying things happening within the empire, for Maeb, who was not in a position to be involved in such matters either in terms of hierarchy or gender, this was a story from a completely different world.

‘It’s none of my business whether my brothers and sisters fight over the throne or not. I just want to live the life I want to enjoy.’

With all the internal affairs of the empire out of her mind, Maev began discussing the upcoming schedule with her maids who had accompanied her on this trip.

“There’s still some time left before the auction begins. In the meantime, let’s take a quick look around Benetsa. I hear there are quite a few places worth seeing in this city, right?”

“Yes, Your Majesty. It is said that there are many magnificent and beautiful buildings in the world, so much so that it is known as the Queen of the Adriatic.”

“The Queen of the Adriatic Sea.. Compared to our empire, she is a small country, but her power is certainly not negligible. I am looking forward to it. I wonder how great she will be.”

Princess Maeb muttered in a voice filled with such deep interest.

Immediately after that, her eyes, which had been looking outside, slowly began to widen.

The sea that was finally beginning to appear in her eyes.

And the sight of the gorgeous island there.

She could tell at a glance that it was Benetsa.

“Arrived! This is Vanessa.”

“Ohhh… ”

“This is it..”

Three people let out exclamations as they got off the carriage.

In their eyes, they were seeing scenes that they found amazing even though they were seeing them with their own eyes.

A magical scene that perfectly suits the name of the city of water.

In many places, there were canals instead of roads, and countless boats were moving through the city like carriages on a road.

‘It’s really amazing.. It’s a place that was only mentioned in passing in the original work, but I didn’t know it would be such a great place.’

Zeros is slightly amazed by the vastness of this world that he feels anew.

Although it was a trip that came about in a hurry, it did not diminish the enjoyment of the trip.

At that moment, Catlena held onto Zeros’ hand tightly and spoke in an excited voice.

“Okay, then let’s go. Since there’s still a lot of time until the auction starts anyway, let’s take our time looking around.”

“Ah.. Yes. Your Majesty.”

Zeros is led deep into the city by Katlena’s hand.

They were followed by knights who were in charge of their escort, and soon the two disappeared into the crowd.

Meanwhile, Senel, the ‘guardian’ of the two, slowly began to release magical power from his body as he watched them quickly disappear from his sight with proud eyes.

“Okay then.. Should I try sightseeing in my own way while keeping a reasonable distance?”

With those words, Senel creates a circle of magical power.

She began to monitor the location and movements of all beings within a 1km radius, preparing for any eventuality in a place where she would not disturb the cute couple.

however..

“..Huh? What is this..”

Suddenly, a familiar feeling began to creep into her magical circle.

The moment she realized what it was, Senel looked dazed for a moment, but soon a deep smile began to form on her lips.

“This, it seems like things will be a lot more fun than I thought? Who would have thought I’d meet the princess here…”

Their movement route also happened to be just right.

Senel decided to quietly observe the current situation, which was unfolding quite interestingly, while preparing to intervene in case something happens.

*

Catlena and Zeros entered the depths of the city along the side road of the canal.

There were many shops selling things everywhere, including many selling strangely shaped clothes and especially masks.

“Look at this Zero. How about this mask?”

Katlena talking while wearing a new white mask.

To be exact, it was the kind of mask that plague doctors used to wear, and looking at it, Zeros spoke to her with a slight smile on his face.

“What should I say.. He seems a bit cute for a plague doctor.”

“Hehehe really? Then you try it too. Here.”

With those words, Cattlena picked up the clown mask that was next to her and put it on Zeros’ face.

With their faces covered by masks, the two looked at each other and began to blush slightly without realizing it.

‘Because it’s like this… it really feels like we’re dating? It feels like I’m on a trip abroad with my girlfriend.’

‘Looking at it like this, our Zeros. He seems pretty cute, huh? Hehe.. I feel like kissing him right now..’

Of course, you can’t do that in front of other people.

With that in mind, Katlena and Zeros spent some quality time in the household, and after a while, they began to choose the items they liked among the ones they had tried on.

“I like this plague doctor mask. I should give one to my mother as a gift. If there’s anything you want, just tell me. I’ll buy it for you.”

“Huh? Oh.. yes. Then I’ll take this..”

Zeros carefully selected the clown mask he had bought earlier. Catlena smiled brightly and spoke confidently as she watched him like this.

“Will that be enough? Choose a little more. Sister Elios just gave me some more to use as pocket money, so don’t worry about the money.”

“Hmm.. then..”

Suddenly, Zeros realized that the woman in front of him was a princess and that she was richer than he could have imagined.

Zeros, who goes a little cautiously like that, picks two more and one more decoration.

at that time..

“You really suit me, Princess. Maybe even with the mask on, your beauty doesn’t diminish at all?”

“Haa.. Didn’t I tell you? You should call me Miss Maev here, not Princess. No matter what, this place, Benessa, is a pagan nation that is the enemy of the Empire. If you go around revealing the fact that you are the Princess of the Empire, you might get into trouble.”

“Ah.. yes. Excuse me, princess.. no, miss.”

“!?..Huh?”

“Hwang..nyeo?..and.. Maeb?”

A voice and name that felt somehow familiar.

At this, the two people slowly turned their heads in that direction, thinking, “Could it be?”

and..

“!”

“… Gasp!”

“..Huh? You guys definitely..”

The next moment, they locked eyes.

At this, Zeros and Katlena began to show signs of their bodies shrinking momentarily, and as she watched the two boys and girls like that, she…

Imperial Princess Maev Rune Caesar Augustina slowly approached me, putting down the mask she was holding with an expression of interest.

“This, this.. I met some really nice people in an unexpected place. How have you both been?”

“Huh..”

The princess looks this way with a big smile on her face.

At this, Zeros unknowingly stood in front of Katlena, and seeing him like this, the princess blushed slightly and began to lick her lips with her tongue.
