Princess Adel looked so comfortable in Adriana's carriage. The experience of riding in a commoner's carriage seems to have traumatized her. That's good for Prince Algis because Princess Adel might not want to go again next year.
"We can't get off in the middle of the city in a luxury carriage. Can we just get off near the shopping area near the center of the city?"
An overly luxurious carriage would draw attention to the fact that Prince Algis was not coming as a prince, but as a commoner enjoying a state festival.
"Will we have to walk later?" Princess Adel's face turned pale again in surprise.
Prince Algis was convinced that spoiling his little sister was the wrong decision. Princess Adel didn't know the joys of being a commoner. When he was young, the king used to take him out in disguise. Those memories were like a dream to him now.
