Chapter 389 – Hidden Worries at the Rear
Chapter 389 – The Hidden Worry of the Rear
Erin stared at herself in the mirror and pouted with some dissatisfaction, “Not yet?”
A woman who stood behind to groom her smiled, “It’s almost time, Your Highness.”
The woman snickered in her heart, “After traveling out for such a long time, this little princess’s heart is still so jumpy.”
After finishing packing with great difficulty, Ayrin cheerfully carried her dress and trotted out.
“Slow down, Your Highness!” The courtesan guarding the doorway chased after her.
Erin made her way to the parlor of the chambers, where several girls about her age and older were already waiting.
“Your Highness!”
The girls stood up and bowed to Ayrin in a regular manner.
Irene smiled and extended her arm, signaling the crowd to take their seats.
Several maids with trays in their hands approached and set out refreshments for each person.
“Sister.” Erin turned to the courtesan who had followed her, “We’d like to be by ourselves for a while!” After saying that a pair of big eyes made a pitiful look.
The courtesan glared at Aileen somewhat sternly, but eventually lost the battle as she sighed and said, “Girls, you are all from prestigious families, and none of you are children anymore, so you should always be mindful of your demeanor and actions.”
After giving a curtsy, she slowly walked out of the parlor.
“Yay!” , after confirming that the female officer had walked away, the girls erupted into a cheer.
No longer sitting honestly in their seats, they swarmed over to Erin’s sofa.
These were the noble girls who were usually friendly with Ayrin.
“Ayrin Ayrin! Keep telling us about the Northwest Bay!”
A petite girl with a freckled face tugged on Ayrin’s arm.
“Tell us more about that Count Greiman invention!”
Erin had been back for a while now, and her friends knew that she had been out traveling in the north of the kingdom for a while, but because of the secrecy, they didn’t know that Erin had run away privately, and assumed that she had gone out in a microcosmic fashion under the close escort of the palace guards.
“This ……” Irene said with some difficulty, “He’s finished with those instructions, even if Gleeman is no matter how clever he is, he can’t invent one thing a day!”
“Alas–” the freckled girl was a little disappointed.
“Haha, Anissa.” The other girl teased, “Are you thinking about that Count?”
“Stop talking nonsense!”
The girl called Anisha’s face was instantly colored with a reddish hue, and she went to tug at the other’s mouth in shame, as the crowd giggled and watched the two chase and fight inside the parlor.
The experience that Erin shared with them intrigued the crowd, it turned out that the paper that had become popular in Jingyao over the past two years had been brought over from the Northwest Bay, and the beautiful porcelain that made the nobles swoon was also made in the Northwest Bay.
It wasn’t the barbaric land of legend, there were also towns and villages where the nobles and commoners lived, speaking the Aldorian language with a different tone than the residents of the royal capital.
And there was also an unusual lord working to improve the education of his people, teaching them to read and write and making them sensible. It was strange, didn’t the lords of small places usually think that the dumber their people were, the easier they were to govern?
Between the people talking and laughing, Erin ordered her servant to fetch a book, which she placed on the table with a proud face, and said somewhat boastfully, “I didn’t just go to the Northwest Bay for pleasure, this is what I’ve accomplished!”
The girls looked over at the table and saw the words “Basic Healthcare Manual” written on the back cover.
Anissa picked it up and opened the pages as her friends gathered around to look at it.
“Wow! That’s awesome! Worthy of Princess Erin, who is known for her erudition,” came a chorus of admiration from the crowd after a quick skim.
This book mainly introduces some hygiene knowledge, such as bathing, hand washing, eating cooked food, drinking boiled water, and what to do when treating wounds “sterilization”, when sick, indoor ventilation, and even when a woman gives birth to a baby all kinds of precautions.
As aristocrats, many of the things mentioned in the book are things they have been accustomed to since childhood, but even those things they are accustomed to have a refreshing explanation in this book.
It turns out that in places where the human eye can not see, there are many tiny life – germs or parasite eggs, and many diseases are born because of them. The measures listed in the book can be very effective in avoiding their infringement on the human body.
I can not help but believe them, Irene returned to the craftsman to build a microscope in accordance with the principles described by Paul, the view in the mirror can be the girls were shocked.
The admiration of the playmates made Erin a little embarrassed, “That …… is actually not my sole credit, this is my co-authored with the female scholar named Ladi Corner Bay, she is much more powerful than me. Moreover, the measures listed in the book are mostly from Earl Greiman, we …… are just organizing them!”
“Give us a copy too!”
Anisa requested Irene on behalf of the ladies.
The little princess smiled mysteriously, “A copy? It’s too inefficient yet!” “What?” The crowd was puzzled.
“What do you see in the words of the book?”
The girls frowned and observed.
One of them said thoughtfully, “These letters are so regular! Especially the letters and words that are the same, it’s as if …… it’s as if they came out of the same mold as he did.”
“Bingo, right answer!”
Erin explained, “It’s the same mold that came out, that’s [printing]. There’s a magical machine in the Northwest Bay, the printing press, that makes books in batches and batches without having to laboriously transcribe them by hand.”
“Irene, you also said that you finished all of Count Greiman’s inventions! I’ve never heard of this printing press.” Anissa pouted, expressing her strong dissatisfaction.
“Uh …… this one he merely mentioned the idea and finally finished …… all in all it’s considered a collective invention.”
After prevaricating, Erin announced, “I’ve already sent someone to the Northwest Bay to order a printing press from Gleeman, and when I come back, I’ll print this book, not just for you guys, but for everyone in Crystalline Flare.”
The young princess intended to popularize good hygiene habits such as drinking boiled water in Jingyao, and as a member of the royal family, she considered it her duty.
Of course Erin’s plans definitely didn’t stop there, she also planned to replicate her great endeavors in the Northwest Gulf in Jingyao, such as building schools la, such as building signal towers la.
“Excuse me, Your Highness!”
A servant entered the parlor while everyone was talking excitedly.
“What is it?”
“Someone from Miss Anissa’s family is here, saying they have important business for her.”
“Let him in.”
Soon, another person dressed as a deacon hurriedly walked in.
“It’s you? What’s the matter?” Anissa recognized the deacon of her house.
The deacon said respectfully, “Miss, the young master has returned and asked you to return quickly for a reunion.”
“It’s brother?” Anissa’s face leapt, “He’s back?”
Anissa’s brother had been stationed in Westport with Harrison Abbott and had not returned home for a long time.
“Is back, but ……” the deacon showed a sad expression, “he will soon rush back to the garrison, this time back to the king’s capital is just to deliver a letter, so urgently ask you to go back to meet.”
Anissa then hastened to bid farewell to Irene.
Ayrin frowned and asked the deacon, “Anisha’s brother’s troops are stationed in West Harbor, right, is the situation there still dire? Is it because of the pirates?”
The deacon shook his head, “From what my young master said, the trouble this time is not pirates, but it is also related to the last pirate invasion.”
“What is it?”
“Goblins, the pirates from last time secretly dropped a large number of Goblins into the nearby area during their occupation of West Harbor. These filthy creatures are very cunning, when the kingdom’s army just recaptured West Harbor, they hid and quietly hid in the forest to reproduce, and now …… now have no idea how many of them there are.”
“Kobolds?” Erin frowned, these things would be tricky to deal with later on if they weren’t driven out in the early stages.
“Bummer! It’s kobolds.”
“Really, why did the pirates bring such disgusting creatures?”
A few girls in the parlor exclaimed in shock, looking like they had also heard of this horrible creature.
There were also girls who hadn’t heard of it, but after being told about it by their peers, they cursed the kobolds and the pirates who were the culprits.
After seeing off Anissa, Irene looked towards the direction of the royal palace’s council chamber, where her father should be right now, and since Anissa’s brother had returned to report the incident, she thought the king must have already known about it.
And she also knew that the main force of the kingdom’s army in the south was facing a showdown with the rebels.
In favor of the rear, but there are frequent accidents ……
Way to go, sister-sama.
