Episode 46
Translator : Missme Editor : Aru
Well, since the pickpocket was a child, I might just think that he acted like that because he knew I couldn’t chase him because of our age difference . And when I look at it again, the child’s skill at stealing money purse was real .
No matter how young he is, I could guess that he was a child who would have had such a thick head in that kind of industry and would have known that such a clumsy touch would not help him live .
‘In the end, it was concluded that he was a suspicious pickpocket . ’
And since then my alertness has naturally been amplified .
I went through something so blatantly suspicious as soon as I went out, anyone must be suspicious .
So I raise my alertness . Then, from then on, the things I could see wherever I went were spectacles .
I passed the shouting and fighting in the dark alley without thinking about it a bit .
‘A sudden arm-wrestling competition in this kind of place? Even if you look at the reaction of the pedestrians around, it looks like they’re in a hurry . The organizer is unclear, and what is the awkward response between the host and the audience?’
The sword competition is even more suspicious .
‘What if you get hurt? You’re really using a knife at a street event like this . There’s no protection . What’s wrong with the referee? Oh, that contestant’s eyes are on me during the competition . Where are you looking?’
So I pretend that I didn’t know .
Alas, Sir Davery played word games with them and avoided everything .
“Then you knew all about it… . . ”
“Of course . ”
I thought Sir Davery would notice that I knew, so I played along with him .
But he wasn’t?
“Well, then what if I really didn’t know and asked you to participate in that low arm wrestling competition?”
“At that time… I would have suddenly held my right arm and pretended to be sick . ”
Oops .
“Rather than doing that, isn’t it better to be honest and say that they’re suspicious?”
“If you do that, my lady will–”
“Scared?”
“……”
“It’s okay . Well, if I didn’t really know, I might have been surprised to hear it . ”
But I knew . There’s no way I couldn’t know .
As I’m talking, their nonsense and unidentified people had been so clumsy .
-Even later, it got worse . Would the people’s faces look just the same?
And now all of them were gone, so it was too obvious .
I ignored both the suspicious arm wrestling and sword competitions .
But there’s an attack that came to me secretly, like a chicken skewer attack .
When I remembered it, I was stunned again . I said, complaining .
“No, not at all . Didn’t you think I wouldn’t have noticed anything suspicious after the chicken skewer attack?”
“That’s…”
Sir Davery blurted out his words as if he had nothing to say about it .
Chicken skewer attack .
It refers to a passerby walking across the street suddenly throwing a chicken skewer in my hand aiming at my chest .
I was really dumbfounded then .
What are they doing?
‘Do they really have the will not be caught?’
Don’t they have any intention of hiding?
He said it was a mistake, but it was not a mistake . There’s no way some people would accidentally throw a chicken skewer like that .
“It was really great how my lady avoided it back then . ”
Sir Davery glanced back . But I responded because it was true .
“I think so, too . ”
I was half lucky, but I avoided the chicken skewer anyway .
In fact, I was surprised even after avoiding it . I didn’t know I’d avoid it .
It just happened to come to my senses that I had already avoided it .
“I didn’t know my body was so agile . ”
When I escaped the chicken skewer attack aiming for my chest, the dumb face of that passerby comes to mind .
‘Whoot . ’
Didn’t he look so proud?
And I’ll just keep quiet about the last rascal that appeared after the chicken skewer attack .
I feel like I’m wasting my time to mention that the man who showed up with a greasy wink from the start was so blatantly suspicious .
After a short recollection, I bit the tanghulu in my hand .
As the hard sugar coats broke, the taste of ripe pulp spread in the mouth as fresh as if ventilating the head .
I opened my mouth looking at the tip of the tanghulu .
“By the way, what was the purpose of those people?”
Kidnapping and confinement?

Threats, extortion?
‘Did I look like I had money and rich . ”
In Korea, or on Earth, where people lived in their previous lives, it was not unusual for criminal groups to kidnap children from wealthy families for ransom .
It was the same case in a society where security and investigation methods are much more advanced than here, but it was not surprising that similar things happened here .
If I were surprised…It’s… it’s…
‘It would mean that I am so clumsy…’
So……
Oh, but that doesn’t mean it’s very pleasant .
As a result, nothing happened, but it wasn’t a very pleasant thing to be a target of such a shady intention .
‘If I had known this, I would have let Sir Davery give the last guy a blow instead of letting him go quietly . ’
I regret, but not belated regret, then Sir Davery’s reply was heard .
“Well, I don’t know . ”
“Huh? Is that just an answer to my question? That insincere word?”
“They may have resentment against my lady, so I think the reasoning is limited…… . . ”
“Why is this because of resentment against me!”
I made a hawk . I was dumbfounded, so I swung fruit candy instead of weapons, and Sir Davery avoided it .
Ah .
‘I miss Dylan . ’
Dylan, how are you? Is it a good place to stay there?
I was about to mourn for her, who had beaten Sir Davery exactly once . As if he could read my mind, Sir Davery’s mouth opened .
“Lady . ”
“Why?”
“I mean them . The people that were doing suspicious things around you a little while ago, they’d probably now be… . . ”
Maybe?
I waited silently for words to follow, but Sir Davery betrayed my expectations and swallowed his words back .
“…… . no . ”
“What is no? If you said it, you have to finish it, to make a person fall into vain . Why would you stop?”
“I’m sorry . ”
No, but if he apologizes like this, I have nothing to say .

“That’s fine . I think I’ll know even if I don’t listen to it . You’re trying to say they’re gone from the world because they’re bad guys, they’re being punished by Heaven, right?”
“You read my mind, my lady . I just got little goosebumps . ”
“Humph . ”
I hope so .
But it was then . A carriage glided to a halt next to me and Sir Davery, who exchanged small noises .
When I looked at it in a strange way, the door burst open and a half-baked face appeared .
“Here you are, Princess . ”
“Viscount?”
Somehow the moustache, more familiar than the facial features, twitched rhythmically .
“I came out of business . I stopped the carriage because I saw the princess . Are you enjoying your outing?”
“Oh, yes . Well . ”
“That’s a relief . It’s late . May I take you to the mansion?”
His words made me glance up at the sky .
It was late, but before I knew it, there was a reddish sunset in the sky .
When did this happen? Time flies . Maybe it’s because I saw the play in the middle .
“I’ll be indebted to you, then . ”
“What do you mean, that’s my pleasure . ”
Undaunted by Lucas’ suggestion, I got on the carriage with Sir Davery .
The carriage was so soft and fluffy . Maybe because of the good sitting feeling, as soon as I got seated, my body, who had been walking around for a long time, complained of fatigue like a ghost .
I looked out of the window and held back the yawn that was about to come out .
“I apologize again for the snake in the morning . I heard you were very surprised . ”
“No…”
“I will never let that happen again . ”
“Yes…”
Oh, I’m sleepy . Maybe because the carriage is going so slowly .
I couldn’t hear what Lucas was saying because I was concentrating on getting rid of sleepiness .
‘I listened with one ear, I shed with one ear, I answered like a machine, and then I opened my mouth to what suddenly came to mind . ’
“Oh, my lord . I’ve been through a few strange things on my way out today . ”
“Yes?”

“Maybe there’s a bad group on the land . A human trafficking organization or something like that . ”
Anyway, Lucas is currently in charge of managing the territory .
He needs to know and deal with that part, right?
Lucas couldn’t hide his embarrassment at my words and soon replied .
“Oh, yes . I’ll strengthen the security forces and make sure they get everything . I’m sorry for inconveniencing you . ”
“Please . ”
It’ll be too much to let them die and go to the underworld, so go to prison instead .
The last stop for the bad guys is a prison after all right?
Soon the carriage stopped . It was not a long way, so the arrival was quick .
“……I’ll send security to the underworld . ”
“What?”
I suddenly heard Lucas’ voice as I got off the carriage .
Looking back, the opponent shook his head .
“No . ”
Did I hear it wrong?
I soon abandoned my lingering attachment and set foot to the mansion .
“Lady! You’re here? How was the sight of the land?”
Bessie held a kitchen knife in her hand and said that .
She welcomed me .
No, why a kitchen knife?
“Uh……it was fun . ”
“Really? How much fun is it?”
Is it my misunderstanding that the future of Sir Davery will depend on the answer? The kitchen knife was sharp as if it was polished .
I hate him but at the same time I worry about him, so
“Out of ten– Um, nine points?”
“Oh, you must have had a lot of fun . ”
Bessie lowered the kitchen knife . Phew .
Then she saw the knife in her hand and was startled .
“Oh my! Why is this here?”
