We walked towards the second line. However, Sakuya started telling me to walk to the side of the entry line. Indirectly I have broken through the queue; please forgive us, citizens.
As we approached the entrance gate, we were suddenly confronted by six guards at once.
"Wait a minute, you guys break through the queue of incoming entrants. Show me your papers. "
A guard reprimanded us; they had grim-looking faces. A muscular body that seemed ready to beat us at any moment. Of course, they would react that way to rule-breakers like us.
When I was about to apologize to them, Karen answered them.
"You all dare say that to Raven sama. "
Karen also showed a strong aura of hostility to all the guards.
"Stop it Karen, that's not the right way to tell them. Then, to the guards, please look at this document, if necessary, order the head of the city guard to come right now. "
Sakuya also tried to stop Karen's anger, although she didn't seem to like the guards' attitude either, did she forget that we broke the rules.
When he saw the document that Karen showed, the guard's face began to look pale.
"Ehh... , this stamp. Doesn't it belong to the Romanova aristocrats?."
The other guards were also showing cold sweat, and he looked scared. After hearing that name mentioned, followed by all the guards also had the same state.
"You know what that means, don't you? "
Karen also shows arrogance like an antagonist in general. But here we are at fault.
"FORGIVE US. "
All the guards started prostrating towards me.
"Uh, ano actually what happened. Why are you afraid of the name Romanova, could it be that I've committed a crime unknowingly?."
I was a little worried about myself, who might soon be imprisoned.
"It's not that Raven sama, they're all scared because they've been rude to you."
Sakuya started to explain the situation to me.
"Oh, I see, it's okay. After all I also came unannounced. "
"Even so, we still failed to welcome you. Please forgive us, if you want to punish, please just punish me. My men are just doing their job. "
The leader of the guards said that with tears in his eyes.
"leader. "
All the guards said that in unison.
"You're not wrong actually. But, if you insist, I will still forgive you. As for your punishment, what do you think, maybe it's better if I order you to keep working as usual. Let's just say I'm an ordinary citizen who enters the city in general so that there is no commotion like this. "
"Actually, what do you mean?."
The leader of the guards looked confused by my words.
"I just don't want to cause a fuss, if it's related to status. Are not all humans have the same degree. Because as human beings we must help each other. "
I said that; I think I can tell a little wiser now.
"Romanova sama, I really respect you. Welcome back to the Heavenly Kingdom country. We citizens of this country are always waiting for your return. We will devote our life to you. "
They all bowed again in front of me.
It happened again. Maybe it's the habit of the inhabitants of this world to bow down to a noble. It looks like I'll have to try to adapt to this kind of situation.
"Then, I'll go. please treat us like ordinary citizens. "
I immediately walked into the city and left them just like that.
"Raven sama wait.."
My two maids started following me from behind.
"Why are you so nice to them?"
This time, Sakuya asked me.
"Of course, because they're just doing their job. Anyway, I'm not in a hurry. "
"Still, they have been rude to you. "
"Don't worry, after all I just wanted to ask you Sakuya. Why can't I see anyone in a horse-drawn carriage in here? "
"That's because there is a rule against using it within the city, Cleopatra-sama ordered this. However, if you want to take a horse carriage back. I will bring it to you. "
"it's not necessary, thank you. "
It turned out to be true; I began to understand Okaa sama mindset is the same.
Walking rules were mandatory to enter the city to avoid disease outbreaks; it made sense that horse-drawn carriages were prohibited from entering the city. In addition, because the rules applied appear to be obeyed, it makes the streets' appearance so clean and beautiful. There was no horse dung on the road, although there was quite a bit of dust.
As I walked into the city, I could see the area leading to the city's center.
"So this is the city? "
I was quite amazed by the decoration, it looks like an old town but well maintained. The houses are made of precious stones and high-quality wood such as teak.
"I'm sorry for the commotion, Raven-sama, it seems I have neglected to carry out my duties. Please punish me. "
Suddenly Sakuya started kneeling in front of me.
Because of that, for some reason, the gazes of the people around me started to notice me.
"hey, lift your body Sakuya. You can misunderstand others. I will punish you later, follow me. "
I grabbed Sakuya and Karen's hands; then we ran away from the gazes of the people facing me at this time. We ran quite a distance until we turned into a narrow alley that looked deserted.
When I looked back, no one was looking at me anymore. I started talking to Sakuya again.
"Why do you guys like being punished so much, isn't it natural for humans to make one or two mistakes? "
I tried to calm Sakuya down so she wouldn't act again.
"I ask for punishment, so that I don't repeat my actions again. If you don't punish me, my mind won't accept that I've been disrespectful to you. "
She knelt to me again. I have to do something.
"Okay then, I'll punish you. Your punishment is please find an inn for us to stay for the night, after that you have to cook a nice meal for me. "
I started to think about things that benefited me.
"Just like that Raven sama?. This isn't punishment at all, you should have done something more painful for me. "
"Why do you always think that every punishment must be painful, wouldn't it be better if a punishment had to be rational to do something. I myself do not really think that you have done anything wrong, therefore I will give you a punishment that is not related to punishment in general. "
I hope she understands what I mean.
"Raven-sama, thank you. But if I leave you alone, it will only make me neglect my duty again. "
Sakuya also tried to protest my decision.
"Then Karen, go with Sakuya. While you guys are booking lodging, I'm going to go buy some things, if I shop near you indirectly your task is already fulfilled right?."
"But, why should I go too Raven sama. I haven't made any mistakes myself. "
Karen also protested against me.
"Calm down, I told you to be with Sakuya so that Sakuya can avoid annoying things. For example, if a beautiful woman like Sakuya walked alone in the middle of the city. Wouldn't he be seduced by men in general? Therefore Karen as one of the beautiful women must also come with Sakuya so that Sakuya does not have too much trouble carrying out his duties. "
For some reason, their faces were red. However, I continued my speech.
"After all, if a stranger like me walks with Karen in the middle of the city. Wouldn't we be seen as conspicuous, therefore it would be best if we went our separate ways so that there wouldn't be any unnecessary fuss, do you two understand? "
"But, leaving you alone like this…."
Sakuya also showed concern about it.
I approached Sakuya and started to touch her cheek with my right hand.
"Believe me Sakuya, I will definitely return to your side, so don't worry. "
Sakuya head felt so hot when I touched it; it even gave off steam.
I immediately pull my hand and walked the other way.
"Then I'll go first."
"Uh, but. Wait a minute..."
The moment the two of them said such things, I had already left them and headed into the crowd.
***
At the same time, a beautiful woman was walking in the middle of a city street, even though she walked like an ordinary person. However, her appearance completely captivated those around her.
Many men look at her because they are stunned by her looks; it also causes a lot of jealousy for women with their partners.
Her figure was very charming, a blue-haired woman who wore clothes like a high-ranking noble. A beautiful smile shone on her face.
Everyone's attention was on her, but that was quite surprising. She was not at all interested in what people thought of her.
Because right now, she only had one goal.
"I feel it, you're here huh...."
As if following her hunch, the situation showed something appropriate.

Anyone who understands will do it if someone has never been out of his comfort zone. Suddenly, feeling a different daily life will cause tremendous nervousness.
