Val took Meena to Princess Beate the next day, as promised.
　Meena's magic moved them both around, so it might be more appropriate to say that it was Bal who guided them and she who carried them.
　Princess Beate is in the area known as the Green Detached Palace, where she and her mother, the Third Queen, live with her handmaidens.
　They enter through a magnificent wooden gate and walk on a neatly paved path of fine white stone.

'Oh, Bal. Welcome.

　When the sixteen-year-old princess noticed that Val had arrived this year, her ruby eyes sparkled.
　She was apparently just having tea in the garden, surrounded by her handmaidens.
　She looked younger than her age as she was innocently waving her hand and being chided by the maidservants.
　She was wearing a lovely blue dress made of fine fabric, a dress that could only be worn by an imperial princess.

''I'm sorry to bother you, Your Highness. This is Vilhemina of Yagami Akira, the same as me.''

　Walking over to the fashionable white table, Val gives a brief greeting.
　It's a complaint that sounds rude to the royal family, but if it's not this much, Princess Beate complains that it's too formal.

'For the first time, Your Highness Beate, I am pleased to do so. My name is Vilhemina Erde Primea.

　Meena, who doesn't know anything, gives a cocky greeting, which puts her in a bad mood.
　However, the princess also takes a few seconds to regain her composure, taking into account that the other party is meeting for the first time.

''Nice to meet you. I'm Beate. I've forgotten your full name.''

　Meena was dismayed at the prince's outrageous comment with a mischievous smile, and her maidservants chided her for "Your Highness".
　It was a great shame for a person of high rank, let alone a member of the royal family, not to be able to say his or her full name.
　Beate, who is not ashamed, but rather smiles, is indeed a girl who does not understand the common sense of the royal family.

(I think I understand why she's so close to Bartolomeus-sama.)

　Meena thought inwardly, but did not show her attitude.
　The maidservants' self-introductions would be omitted.
　Because they were only appendages of the Princess.

''This is an unexpected visit to .......

　Val's words are interrupted midway through by the Imperial Princess.

'Of course you're welcome!

　Beate replied with a smile like a beautiful flower in full bloom.
　Most of the time Val visited without prior notice to the royal family, but the princess was just as free-spirited as he was.
　The maidservants had no choice but to respond.

'It's rose tea today. I hope it's to your taste.'

　Beate explained.
　Appreciate and enjoy the different colored rose petals, enjoy the scent, and enjoy the slightly sweet taste.
　That's what rose tea is all about, she said.

'I was surprised at first to find that when you put tea in a rose, it was sweet.

So do I. I heard that you invented a rose that goes with the tea.

　Beate responded to Val's words with a smirk.
　It would be a sign of this country's prosperity and peace to be able to focus on the development of a luxury product.
　Eventually her ruby eyes shifted to the silent Meena.

'What do you think, Vilhemeena?　Do you have a problem with elves having rose tea?

'No, sir. No. We also enjoy plants for food and tea. The important thing is not to destroy the ecosystem and the environment.

　The princess's question was similar to her preconceived notions of elves, and Meena was used to being told.
　Beate's dainty lips quirked up in relief at the answer.

'Good. As expected, I can't offer you something you won't enjoy.'

　If that's the case, you should check first before brewing, but no one would point it out.
　The royal family was basically such a creature, and even the innocent and naive Princess Beate was no exception to this point.
　What was served to Val was blue and what was served to Meena was red petals.

'The blue one is less sweet. 'Would you like some Val?'

It's delicious. Thank you.

　The princess smiles with satisfaction as he thanks her.

'Where's Vilhemina?'

Thank you.

　Meena, who only thanked him while realizing that she was also asked to comment on the taste, could also be called a free spirit.
　She could have been accused of being rude, but Beate blurted out and hid her mouth in a hurry.

''He's nice. I think we're going to get along fine. But I don't know who else is in the royal family except me.

　The princess made a statement that she was aware that she was in the minority.
　Meena responds with a smile on a level that only Val can understand.

(They're all freaks.)

　One of the maidservants thought, and her head ached.
