“Wow, look at that huge fountain!”
A girl with her red hair in a side ponytail
expressed her admiration for the pillar of water that seemed to rise toward
heaven.
She was around 15 and her entire body was
brimming with energy.
The fountain alone was not enough to
satisfy the incredibly lively-looking girl, so she started looking restlessly
around while raising shrill cries at everything she saw.
“Those are azalea flowers. And those are
bougainvillea. Oh, those are oleander!”
“Torié, please stop making a scene. The
guards are laughing.”
Another girl of the same age clearly wanted
to pretend she did not know the first girl, but she finally ran out of patience
and scolded her.
She had long, pale blonde hair with a gray
hairband at her forehead hairline to keep the bangs out of her eyes.
She had an abacus stored at her stomach as
if to show it off and a seemingly fussy personality oozed from her.
“C’mon, Lena. It’s your first time in the
castle too. Aren’t you impressed by this amazing garden!?”
They both wore matching uniforms. It was
the uniform of the Legins Company, one of the continent’s top merchant
companies.
The Legins Company was known for its
service to the Domos Kingdom. They sold everything from the princess’s
underwear to the latest in military weaponry.
This was the Domos Kingdom’s secondary
capital of Curling.
