The spacious and luxurious interior of the carriage was exquisitely decorated and exuded a faint fragrance.

Sunlight streamed through the car windows, illuminating every corner of the carriage.

Diana sat on the soft seat, her bright eyes glancing occasionally at Candice beside her.

Finally, curiosity drove her to break the silence:

"Grandma Candice, this is the eighth time you've looked in the mirror! Your face looks clean, there's nothing dirty on it."

After saying that, Diana blinked, looking puzzled.

Candice felt a little embarrassed upon hearing Diana's innocent words.

She quickly put away the delicate little mirror in her hand, then smiled and gently pulled Diana onto her lap.

Then, she took out a small comb from her bag and began to gently comb Diana's smooth, shiny silver-white hair.

"Anna, as a girl, you should always pay attention to your image, no matter when or where you are. Especially in formal occasions, maintaining good manners and appearance is the most basic etiquette."

Candice gently instructed Diana as she carefully combed her hair.

Diana tilted her head and looked at Adolf.

"Eh~ Is that really so, Master?"

Adolf, feeling a pang of jealousy, wanted to say something, but when he met Candice's warning gaze, he could only manage a forced smile and nod in agreement:

"Yes...that's true, Anna."

Candice smiled with satisfaction and continued to comb Diana's hair.

Her fingers deftly darted through her hair, and soon two delicate braids hung down over Diana's shoulders.

Candice carefully examined her masterpiece, a hint of pride flashing in her eyes.

She couldn't resist reaching out and gently rubbing Diana's chubby cheeks, her voice full of affection.

"However, our Anna is so cute, she can dress up however she wants!"

Diana's face was distorted from being rubbed.

"Girls are such a hassle!"

Diana escaped Candice's clutches only when the carriage slowly came to a stop in front of a small courtyard.

Candice got off the carriage and unconsciously pinched Anna's cheek, 'I didn't expect Anna's face to feel so good!' She was getting a little carried away.

Looking back at Diana, who was pouting and had rosy cheeks, Candice felt a strange sense of guilt.

The small courtyard, with its gates tightly shut, was guarded by several armed knights, one of whom called out to stop them.

"Halt! The Sword Saint is recuperating and does not receive outsiders!"

Diana stepped forward and glared at the knight who had spoken.

"Don't you recognize me? That's my master!"

The knight's eyes darted away instinctively. He recognized Diana, of course, but given his orders, he dared not let her pass.

"That's not OK!"

Diana rolled up her sleeves.

"You old geezer, you've got quite the attitude! I'm going in today, so get out of my way!"

The surrounding knights tensed up instantly, gripping their weapons tightly. They had all witnessed Diana's strength, and if they really fought, they probably wouldn't be able to defeat her with one hand.

Just as the atmosphere was becoming increasingly tense, Adolf picked up Diana from behind, who was about to make a move, and lifted her up like a chick.

"Anna, what do you think you're doing! You think you can make a move here?!"

Diana struggled, but her feet still couldn't touch the ground.

"Hey, Master, put me down! You didn't say I couldn't fight! I even beat up their captain last time!"

The surrounding knights swallowed hard. 'Good heavens! You really want to beat us up?! This is the royal palace! Openly attacking a knight is treason!'

Adolf was secretly sweating bullets. If a fight broke out, wouldn't they have to come clean with everything right away?

"Stop fooling around, Anna! This matter needs to be discussed more carefully!"

"Alright, Master, I won't beat them up anymore. Please put me down!"

Diana breathed a sigh of relief upon regaining her freedom.

Giving up? That's impossible. On the way here, she had solemnly promised Rhine that she would take him to see the Sword Saint.

If she were to leave in such a disgraceful manner, wouldn't she become a clown? Diana would absolutely not allow that to happen!

Diana's eyes lit up, and she came up with a plan. She took a deep breath.

"Master Yi! Guess who came to see you!"

? ? ? ? ? ?

Everyone looked at Diana with a puzzled expression.
