Holding Ophelia’s hand, Idel still had a bewildered expression.

“I didn’t know that Princess Ophelia, the women’s rights expert in Lisandro introduced by Rainian, was you.”

“Well, it’s not that grand… but in Lisandro, I’m working together with like-minded individuals to promote the women’s rights movement. We’re also preparing for a women’s rights conference that will take place in a few days.”

Though not extravagant, Ophelia’s eyes were filled with undeniable passion. Seeing Ophelia in this light, Idel smiled warmly and nodded subtly.

“Now I understand. You wanted to make sure if Princess was prepared to fight, lowering the nobility’s facade.”

Ophelia was a noble in Lisandro. It would not have been easy for her, with such a noble status, to personally advocate for equal women’s rights, even in the relatively liberal culture of Lisandro.

“That struggle was something you personally experienced, Princess.”

“Yes, my nickname is ‘Imperial Fawn.’ I often run around the palace wearing dresses, but it’s also because I don’t adhere well to the etiquette of noble women.”

Ophelia mentioned her nickname with a smirk. At the same time, she openly expressed her thoughts to Idel.

“The etiquette I learned from an early age was filled with things I couldn’t understand. Why women shouldn’t run while wearing dresses, for instance. Starting from such things, I questioned and fought against every clue associated with being a ‘woman.'”

Although the reasons and methods were different, Ophelia seemed to have fought through her life from an early age. Learning this fact, Idel felt a stronger liking for Ophelia and sensed her heart opening completely.

‘She also went through such feelings…’

Now, Idel understood the change in Ophelia’s eyes towards her when she talked about her childhood. Between the two, who seemed to resonate based on mutual empathy, an unbreakable bond had silently formed.

“Perhaps what you want to do will be even more challenging than what I’ve been through. Even in Lisandro, which is relatively lenient compared to Yupter, advocating for women’s rights is not easy.”

“I am prepared. I want to see and learn a lot from you, Princess. How you fight for women’s rights. Please teach me.”

“Of course. But before that, it would be better to tidy up that title.”

“Title?”

“The title of ‘Princess.’ Just call me Ophelia comfortably. Friends who share the same intentions usually call each other by their names, right?”

“Ah…”

At Ophelia’s mention of the title of friend, a sigh escaped Idel’s lips. Friends who share the same intentions… It was a different emotion from when Rainian mentioned it, and it brought a new wave of excitement into her chest.

For Idel, it was her first… same-sex friend.

Feeling overwhelmed, Idel blushed, and she took a deep breath.

“Quickly, try calling me that. Ophelia.”

“Yes… Ophelia.”

“Well done. Can I skip the title of Grand Duchess as well?”

“Of course. Please call me Idel.”

“Alright. Idel.”

Ophelia smiled contentedly, and Idel also smiled, feeling warmth spreading in her chest.

Inside the slowly moving carriage, Idel gazed at the unfamiliar scenery outside the Lisandro palace.

Looking around with a curious expression, Ophelia asked Idel, “How is it? Is it much different from Yupter’s capital?”

“Well… The atmosphere of Lisandro’s capital feels more dynamic. It seems lively and vibrant.”

Now translate the following Korean paragraph verbatim into English.

And just give me English translation in the output.

There were couples arguing, faces flushed with disagreement, an elderly couple laughing heartily, and even a child throwing a tantrum towards their mother… The passersby, regardless of age or gender, all carried their honest emotions on their faces.

Idel, who had been carefully observing the people on the street, directed her gaze towards a young couple. As the two whispered and shamelessly kissed, Idel’s face turned crimson in an instant. She hastily averted her gaze.

Ophelia found Idel’s innocent and transparent reaction cute and grinned, her lips curling upwards.

“That’s right. Lisandro’s culture is more open and passionate compared to Yupter. It must have influenced the lives and personalities of the people in the Empire.”

“Yes… Ophelia was right that I would better feel Lisandro’s culture when we go to the city center.”

Idel, who had been shy, gave Ophelia a faint smile, seemingly expressing gratitude for being led here.

“Right? It wasn’t easy to get the stern Grand Duke’s permission.”

Before Ophelia led Idel towards the city center, she brought up the conversation she had prepared at the luncheon with the Grand Duke couple.

How about going on a city tour today?

A city tour…?
