"Hey, as I expected, a fight really broke out."
"So these undead people are the ones in front of us?"
"I'm not sure, after all, even Lady Toki doesn't rember the exact date... but this group of warriors in outdated costus looks like that group, so they probably are."
The voices ca from in front of Amande, who remained kneeling on one knee. She could identify who was approaching by their voices alone.
Sure enough, when she raised her head, the people standing before her were the most distinguished generals and trusted retainers of the Sky Kingdom, second only to the Imperial Court Aces.
However, the figure that appeared behind Nami and the others caused Amande's pupils to contract as she thought in surprise: "I didn't expect Princess Hiyori herself would be here!"
This made her even more concerned that the honor of the Charlotte family might be tarnished because of these sudden intruders.
"Sister Amande, please stand."
A familiar voice sounded as Pudding approached her third sister and helped her up, asking aloud, "Is everything alright?"
"It's fine, just a group of outsiders who landed at this port suddenly. I was about to report to you after dealing with these intruders," Amande explained.
"Don't worry, Amande. This incident won't have any negative impact on you or the Charlotte family."
Hiyori stepped forward and said calmly: "This was an accident caused by my mother, and these people have connections to both my mother and . Please let us handle this."
Hearing this, Amande, with Pudding secretly gripping her arm for reassurance, bowed her head in acceptance and ordered all the soldiers around to withdraw.
anwhile, the Red Scabbards showed no relief when the formidable soldiers departed.
Instead, looking at the stunning figure before them, their jaws nearly dropped to the ground in astonishnt.
Luxurious attire, distinctive long dark-green hair, and a beautiful face almost identical to Lady Toki whom they had seen "monts ago" from their perspective!
"Lady Toki... is it Lady Toki?!"
Kin'emon and the others shouted in unison, experiencing indescribable excitent at seeing their lord's wife suddenly appear in such a harsh situation.
"Mother!!!"
Having experienced a life-or-death situation just an hour earlier from his perspective, Momonosuke burst into tears at the sight of soone who looked almost exactly like his mother. He extended his arms, preparing to rush toward Hiyori.
Hiyori took a half-step back, sowhat uncomfortable with this reaction.
Noticing this move, Runti stepped forward and kicked Momonosuke away, shouting in disgust: "Get back, you crying brat!"
Having survived on her own since childhood and now enjoying the prosperity of the Sky Kingdom for many years, Runti sincerely despised crying children.
She found this particular child's appearance disgusting, and having heard about his father's foolish deeds from Lord Alex, Runti felt even more displeased.
After her kick, Page-One, who stood beside her, suddenly grabbed Runti and pulled her aside, hurriedly whispering: "Hey! Hey! Hey! Sister, those people are connected to Lady Toki and Princess Hiyori! You shouldn't act without thinking it through first, just in case..."
Before he could finish, Runti grabbed his collar and retorted: "In case of what? If it weren't for their connection, I would have done much worse! Did you see how Hiyori backed away? Even Toki herself can barely rember the exact date, so they must have confused her! Are you underestimating , Pay-Tan?!"
Hearing Runti directly use an adult's na, the flustered Page-One imdiately raised his index finger to his lips in a gesture requesting silence, regardless of Runti's scolding.
On the other side, surprised by Hiyori's previous step backward and Momonosuke's sudden misfortune, Kin'emon rushed to help Momonosuke up, exclaiming: "My lady! It's us, the Nine Red Scabbards! Lady Toki, have you forgotten?"
Momonosuke, suffering both physical and emotional pain, cried even more pitifully: "Yes, Mother! I am Momonosuke!"
This scene made Hiyori, who had received a proper education and grown up well despite picking up so of Alex's bad habits, frown slightly. She quickly composed herself and said: "You have mistaken for soone else..."
"How could I possibly mistake you, Mother!" Momonosuke continued crying, interrupting her words.
Hiyori was about to continue when Raizo suddenly realized sothing and quickly said: "Could it be... you are Princess Hiyori?!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the rest of the Red Scabbards imdiately ca to their senses.
Of course!
This was the world twenty years later. Even Lady Toki's beauty couldn't escape the effects of ti, and twenty years was enough for a girl who had been only six years old back then to grow into adulthood.
Hiyori nodded calmly: "That's right. I am Hiyori, not my mother."
"Princess Hiyori!!"
"You... you look just like Lady Toki!!"
Hearing Hiyori's confirmation, Kin'emon and the others were shocked yet again.
Momonosuke stopped crying, sowhat embarrassed at having mistaken his sister for his mother. Looking at the now-grown Hiyori, it was hard to imagine she was the sa little sister who used to cry so easily.
Judging by Hiyori's age, Kin'emon and the others fully believed they had indeed traveled to the future. They hurriedly asked: "Princess Hiyori, what happened here? What's beco of Wano? Lord Oden and everyone else—are they all right?!"
A series of questions spilled out, and rembering the respect shown to her by their previous enemies, Kin'emon added: "Princess Hiyori! Lord Momonosuke is your older brother!"
