As she did, in a villa where it was impossible to support herself, she subsisted on the food―――essentially just leftovers―――that the cook left behind. Later on he checked it, just to make sure it wasn’t some message, but it was just an announcement about the apprentice knight exams.Īnd then on the next day, Princess Fii’s survival lifestyle began. Well, perhaps suspicious in another way, however. No matter how you slice it, she didn’t seem suspicious. After holding it out under the moonlight, she circled about happily, and then immediately headed back to her villa.
