She said this as she reached out to lift the curtain of the carriage window, and the light from the gas lamp immediately spilled into the carriage, illuminating her sweat-dampened forehead and tightly pressed lips.
Lady Leisen was clearly hesitant: "Your Highness, it's not appropriate to get off the carriage now…"
"Just to catch a breath, rest for a few minutes," Victoria weakly pleaded, "You don't have to get off. I'll be right by the carriage, not going far."
As she said this, she had already reached out to push open the carriage door.
Seeing this, Lady Leisen could only sigh softly, pulling down the window to instruct the attendant, "Go see if there's a café or the like nearby that's open. Her Highness is unwell and needs a moment's rest."
Taking advantage of Lady Leisen turning her head, Victoria quickly stepped onto the carriage's side step and landed on the ground.
