Time continued to pass, I did not calculate it for sure, but until now Noland still did not return with information. Is she okay? He's not lost, is he?
I was still sitting in silence by handing over part of my upper body on the wooden table that Milin had cleaned before. Milin and his grandmother occasionally chatted with me, but unfortunately I could only answer limitedly.
"This inn was actually almost bankrupt because very few visitors came to this city" said Granny Milin who sat on my left bench.
"really?" my response.
"Truly Sir!" confirmation from Milin sitting on the bench to my right.
"And not only that, this inn was almost bankrupt because of the financial crisis experienced by us," continued Granny Milin with a slightly sad tone because given the bitter times she experienced.
"So, what happens next?" ask me to continue the topic.
"The miracle! Suddenly the kingdom summoned the entire population of the city and made a very complicated announcement, I don't understand it at all" Milin replied.
"And-and! How many days later, it seems like about four days, suddenly a lot of people who flock come from the port and the border, it turns out they are all visitors! All the residents of the city were shocked and thought it was a miracle! It was really like a person summoning magic!" he continued very impassively explaining it to me.
"Oh!?"
"As Milin said. Most likely all of those things happened because of the royal princess who got some power at the moment" Granny Milin explained.
"Princess of the kingdom who gained some power...?"
"When calling the whole town, of course we had to attend. There was something that immediately shocked the entire population of the city that it was not the King who made the announcement, but his beloved daughter..."
'What's weird?' my thinking.
"... Then the Princess continued her announcement with us trying to hear and understand in silence. The entire contents of the announcement that he said made absolutely no sense, not realistic. It was like he was trying to build a civilization like the magic world told for a little boy."
"Hey! The magic world is awesome!" sahur Milin loudly.
"Yes-yes," Grandma said as she nodded.
"..." - ".I silently understood.
"As a result of the absurd announcement, the entire population feels that the conversation is just a joke from the Princess who is still a child," said Grandma.
"Kids' souls? If you may know, how old is the Princess?"
"If it's not wrong, now the Princess is about 13 years old heading 14."
'Almost the same age as me!! So she did all those things at her age which was still a category of children!?' I was shocked in my heart.
"hoh... He was very brave, yes." I said.
Have you dared to speak before the entire city?! That's already so great to be able to.
"Yes, the Princess is very brave. And strangely his whole speech was very convincing, a hope-giver for the whole population of the city. We're all like we're being bewitched to follow his words."
"And finally, his whole speech came true and made the state of the city improve from before. Although at first the word was just like a dream of broad daylight. That right?" I try to draw conclusions.
"More or less so. Since then, life in the city has changed as much as you might have seen from the harbor. Because of all these miracles, the townspeople consider the Princess as a drop of the Goddess of Prosperity."
"Well, the townspeople do make sense to think so."
"Milin wants to be like the Princess!" millin suddenly entered the conversation. Pointing his small hand upward, Milin determined earnestly to follow in the footsteps of the Princess.
"Good ambition, Milin," I said.
Grandma could only smile in front of him.
"Milin has been dreaming of being like the Princess ever since she saved our inn from a financial crisis" Grandma explained.
"Yes from there! Milin will definitely become like the Princess!" sahut Milin with burning ambition.
"What else is that?" curious says.
"Perhaps a year ago, this inn faced a financial crisis that almost bankrupted us. So, we ask for personal help with the government to help provide the best solution. And it turns out that the one who is willing to be asked for help is the Princess herself, she is becoming the idol of the entire population of the city."
"You guys are really surprised, right?" my many.
"of course! Until recently Grandma read the letter over and over again and even Grandma still kept the letter well" Milin said in a playful tone to her Grandmother.
"Heh Milin!" "Hehe" Milin replied happily because he had succeeded in pranking his Grandmother.
"Milin was wearing a beautiful dress back then" Milin told me.
I smiled and nodded lightly.
"But still lost to the royal garb. Next we were led into a vast and magnificent kingdom."
"The kingdom is very big and the roof is very high! Many chandelier lamps are pretty, hung on top of it. The pillars were thick and sturdy and many guards were wearing royal clothes as well as modal weapons inside!" obviously Milin.
"Whoa."
"Yes like that, the kingdom is like a different world. Long story short we met the Princess in a room full of beautiful tools.We gave some kind of gift for a thank you, said respect and began to discuss. Do you remember what the Princess said Milin?"
"Milin forgot, that's when Milin fell asleep."
"Hhh... You're this. So at the heart of the discussion was that the Princess advised us to build the basement you guys used..."
?!
"... promotion, and a lot of lodging development advice and of course there is a little funding from the kingdom."
"just the one? So the one who gave the idea of making the basement was the Royal Princess?" my many.
"Yes, the Royal Princess who gave that suggestion so that our inn has a differentiator from other inns. When it comes to discussion time, we don't really take much time in discussions. But a lot of the time, we use to talk lightly about the state of the city and the other residents."
So that's the goal.
"So, is Milin still asleep?" tanyaku.
"Milin woke up just then!" answer Milin.
"When the Princess allowed Milin to play with her, it made me coldly hot to see Milin playing with the Princess. Maybe it's the forerunner of his dream to be like the Princess."
"Mr Princess seems so kind and so great huh.." I said towards Milin.
"Yes!" milin smiled and nodded.
I immediately recalled Mr. Meinhard's remark, "People from the kingdom are not to be trusted." At least I should be vigilant.
"So that's the story of this inn... Thank you Nek and Milin for bothering to tell me."
"It's okay, Grandma also likes to talk hooho."
"Milin too!"
That was the conversation we had a few hours ago.
A lot of information I got in one conversation, that was great.
Princess royal... The Goddess of Prosperity...
Hm...
He must have had those ideas because of the knowledge stored in the books in that royal library! I must be able to enter the kingdom!
Now, I'm so excited.
While feeling the overflowing feeling of spirit, suddenly there were familiar footsteps from the direction of the inn entrance.
I turned towards the voice and tried to recognize who was there.
There was no need to expend such a great amount of energy, I knew that it was Noland, with... lots of strange objects and food in both hands?!!
"Sorry Arthur, I visited for a while to get to the residents and I finally got all this, hehe," said Noland as he approached the table where I was.
"No.land..." "His?!"
"I've been waiting for you so much..."
"Emmm... Uh!"
The entire sense of spirit that built me up earlier instantly turned into an unstoppable sense of annoyance.
