Chapter 1368
James took off his military robe, changed into his casual clothes, and went to find Henry.
The two discussed in the room for a while and planned to leave under the excuse of sightseeing.
After the two finalized their plan, they walked out of the room together.
Suddenly, a beautiful maid approached them and bowed while saying respectfully, “Dragon King, the Queen has prepared a luncheon for you.”
“Alright.” James nodded.
“This way, please.”
The beautiful maid gestured for them to follow her. Then, she led James and Henry to the luncheon
venue.
This time, not many people were present.
It was only the Queen and her daughter, Yelena.
The meal was also much simpler than the one in the morning. Despite being much more modest than the
morning banquet, the meal was still more luxurious than anything seen outside.
“Your Majesty, there are still a few days before the official military exchange begins. I plan to go
sightseeing and experience the cultural heritage of Durandal for myself.”
During the meal, James brought up the topic of him and Henry leaving the castle.
“That sounds lovely.”
The Queen lifted her hand and gestured toward her daughter.
“Yelena won’t have classes for the next few days, so how about having her show you around?”
“T-That won’t be necessary,” James quickly refused the Queen’s suggestion.
“We’re both rowdy soldiers and don’t exactly have the best manners. We don’t want to accidentally
offend Princess Yelena.”
As James spoke, he threw a friendly glance at Yelena.
“Princess Yelena, you must be occupied with other things.
You don’t have to inconvenience yourself for our sake. We can look around on our own.”
James politely declined the offer.
It would be fine if Yelena accompanied them if they truly were only going sightseeing.
However, they were here to settle their affairs.
From Yelena’s perspective, James seemed to be belittling her by refusing her mother’s offer.
She proudly raised her head and looked at James, saying, “It’s no trouble at all.
Coincidentally, I have an excess of free time these days.
Since the Queen has asked me to accompany you, how could I refuse her?
I escort you as you stroll around our country these next few days.”
She doubled down and insisted on following them all the more since James refused her company.
The Princess was used to people trying to cater to her whims and desires.
