Chapter 434: Harvest Festival (13)

"Ah~! Isn't it about that ti now? Co co, let's head outside! Thank you Erica, and good luck with the rest of the day!"

The Duchess grabbed my hand and guided

away from the counter, where I was discussing the finances of this Clinic with the manager, the two of us going over the numbers and discussing ways to cut so of the costs and earn a bit more money whilst still remaining relatively open and inexpensive for the people of Birchan.

Blinking, I glanced at the red head who was dragging

away before waving at the Birdkin, who waved back with a small smile on her lips, sothing that made

rather embarrassed as I turned back to the Duchess to see her smiling as well, clearly excited about whatever it was that she had rembered.

Shelur was following us still as well, the Orc still as quiet as ever as she continued to do her job as the Duchess' guard; ever since the cafe, Shelur hadn't said a word, and I was curious if that was because she was trying to be respectful still, if she was that serious and devoted to her job, or if she was a bit embarrassed and horny from what she had seen...

I wasn't able to tell though, so I couldn't really make much of an assumption about the Orc, and the Duchess really didn't give

much of a chance either as she asked "Do you know what happens just before noon, Astra?"

I shook my head, prompting the Duchess to continue speaking as she led

through the crowds at an assured pace, cutting her way through and ensuring that we would get to wherever it was before whatever it was happened...

"Goddess Dryatra and the Queen will be making an appearance at the center of Birchan to truly begin the Harvest Festival. Everything from this morning to now has been a prelude for the festivities to co, and to start it all off, the Queen and our Goddess dance together, watched by the citizens before inviting everyone else to join them in the rrymaking. People in the Dryadi Queendom - and even from other countries - co to visit just in hopes of being able to lay their eyes upon our Goddess~!"

The Duchess' smile widened as she continued to lead

through the city, taking

towards the center and continuing to speak, each revelation from her filling

with wonder and anticipation.

"The dance is our chance to witness the perfect union between our Queen and our Goddess, it is our chance to thank our Goddess for enriching the lands around us, and it is our chance to pray to Goddess Detra and thank her for making Tera the world it is. It's also our hope that she might one day respond to our prayers again and forgive us for what happened all those years ago, but..."

Trailing off, the Duchess shook her head as she muttered "I can't imagine that she ever will forgive us mortals for our transgressions...
