Chapter 10

“Here, I haven’t touched on the food you ordered, so you can take it and eat it.”

Then the owner quickly picked up a plate with chicken and potatoes and brought it to our table.

‘It was the handsome man who helped us.’

It is a natural world that women belong to men.

The wife belongs to the husband, and the daughter belongs to the father.

‘But you’re on the side of women you don’t know well.’

I was a little impressed.

It looks like a statue with a good-looking face and a kind heart.

Seeing like this, it seemed to me to look better.

I felt that they were tall and had long arms and legs even when they were sitting.

How about those broad shoulders that can’t be covered with torn clothes in several places, and a firm chest? They were handsome in any way, but that one man couldn’t be described with words.

“Thank you very much.”

I sincerely thanked them and bowed down lightly.

Then the man looked at me with cold eyes for a moment, then said, turning his head to his plate.

“I just hated the fuss. I didn’t even want to see the kids who will be dragged in front of me, so don’t wander around and go home after a meal.”

“… I beg your pardon?”

What have I heard now?

‘Did you just say that you just hated being noisy?’

Besides, he treated me as a child.

Not only one or two young men who have already held my hand!

“If you are noisy, I will call the man again. Sit quietly and have a meal.”

He started threatening me without even looking at this side.

Then the man in glasses sitting across from him quietly began to eat his share again.

‘What the hell are these guys?’

I calmed down at my anger and looked back.

Larissa still couldn’t even get out from under the table.

“Then call me if you need anything.”

The owner said calmly as if nothing had happened and disappeared into the kitchen.

I sighed and took Larissa out of the table.

Then she held the fork in her little hand.

“Come on, let’s eat quickly. When we finish eating, we will get on the carriage again, because we have to take the train inside today.”

I was also surprised that my appetite disappeared as well.

But if you want to get away well, you have to eat well.

I cut the chicken leg with a knife and placed it on Larissa’s plate and put a bite of a potato in my mouth as well.

While we were eating, the men disappeared after eating.

No other guests came in until we were finished.

I asked the owner if she could bring a carriage.

“At the end of this road, there is a rental carriage place. Maybe you can rent a covered carriage if you go there. I can’t empty the store, so…”

The owner pointed to the end of the road with her hand and said, as if sorry.

As a sign of gratitude, I paid three times the price of the food and left the store.

All Igor explained about us was height, age, and hair color.

I couldn’t hide my height, but I could hide it if it was my hair color.

Before leaving the restaurant, I put a handkerchief on Larissa’s head and put a bonnet over it to secure it.

I wore a scarf on my head like a woman who usually goes to the market.

‘If the other person doesn’t look at us first, it will be fine.’

I can hear people around me thinking, so if I was lucky, I could have prepared ahead of time.

Of course only for negative thoughts.

I listened to the sounds around me and walked toward my destination without looking around as much as possible.

I held the bag in one hand and held Larissa’s hand in the other.

I was walking for a long time like that.

– I’m scared. Can I really do this?

Huh?

I opened my eyes wide at an unexpected sound.

It was the voice of someone’s heart.

Not Larissa’s.

By any chance, when I looked down at it, Larissa was walking hard with her legs without expression.

The sound of the heart is different for each person, it was difficult to distinguish at once.

‘It sounds like someone I don’t know, so I don’t have to worry about it.’

Still, I was busy on the way to go.

I ignored the sound and tried to rush my step.

By the way, even though I didn’t know who it was, the voice of the heart came from the same person as before.

-It’s not like I’m going to kill him, so I won’t be punished. All I have to do is stick the knife slightly to his body.

It was an extremely disturbing sound.

It was the voice of the heart made out of anxiety and fear. I frowned.

I had never heard such an extreme sound when I lived in the mansion or at parties.

As soon as I came out of the house, it looked like this.

If you didn’t hear anything, you could just pass by it quietly, but after hearing the sound of killing people, you couldn’t even pretend you didn’t know.

I unintentionally glanced at the side where I heard the sound.

It was just a child Larissa’s age over there.

With one hand holding a wooden bowl for begging, the other hand in his pocket, looking through one of the places.

-I don’t need to poke deeply, just a few stabs. He just needed to bleed a little. I’m not trying to kill him. So can I avoid starvation today? It’s okay, it; s okay. But why am I so scared?

The boy muttered in his heart as if constantly trying to comfort himself.

My life is ruined by paying attention to the voices of people’s hearts.

Marcia became a villainess that way, and she was alive in my memory too.

So I just pretended not to know and tried to pass.

But there were two men who saved us earlier at the restaurant.

‘Why…’

I squeezed my temples.

What the boy was looking at was definitely those two men. I couldn’t see it wrong.

Two giant men in torn clothes in several places.

One of them seems to emit light from his muddy face, and the other wears glasses.

The two men were talking about a carriage or something.

When I saw the carriage in front of the men, I doubted my eyes at the moment.

‘Uh, is that a car…?’

I rubbed my eyes.

You mean there are cars in this world?

It was something that looked like a two-seated carriage without a roof, but there was no such thing as a horse even after I rubbed my eyes.

And there was something like a steering wheel.

It looks like an ancestor of a car.

‘Well, there’s a train, too, but it’s a little bit fast if it’s a car. I guess there’s an accident after getting on that.’

At first glance, it was obvious that the car crashed after an accident or something, and the two men were torn clothes and covered in dirt.

‘So after the accident, you went into the restaurant and ate first?’

Well, even though the clothes were torn, they looked fine without any damage.

That’s that, and looking at the way the two were talking without paying attention to their surroundings, if that beggar boy decided to run and injure him, he could not avoid it.

‘Yes, let’s pretend to pay back the grace.’

“There you!”

The boy was a little surprised, but still ignored me.

“You, you, the striped hat. You heard me now. You can see me, right? Come and see me.”

I deliberately mentioned his characteristics. That way he can’t pretend he doesn’t know.

The boy hesitated and looked at me.

“What are you doing, come here!”

I raised my voice.

The men standing next to the car or something stopped talking and looked over to this side.

The beggar boy seemed to have seen it too.

The boy drooped his shoulders and slowly approached me.

I hid Larissa behind my back and stepped forward.

“Buy a piece of bread with this.”

As I took a little copper coin from my wallet, the boy made a repressed sound.

“Okay, thank you.”

“Okay. By the way, are you going to receive the coin with one hand in your pocket? Huh? You’re too cheeky as a beggar.”

While holding a coin as if he was looking forward to it, I used the sarcasm that Marcia liked to use for work.

“Aren’t you taking your hand out of your pocket? You don’t want to eat bread, huh?”

I deliberately emphasized the word ‘pocket’.

‘By this point, you would have understood.’

This boy and the men over there.

The boy slowly took his hand out of his pocket and held the wooden bowl with both hands.

I dropped a coin there.

There was a clinking sound.

I felt sorry for the boy and took out one more coin.

And the men’s gaze turned away.

At this level, the grace of the previous job was paid back.

I was fortunate to be able to pay it back quickly. Because I hate what I owe.

By the way, the back of the head was sore. Someone cursed me again.

-You screwed up everything! I tried to get rid of that little boy after it was done safely, damn it.

He must be the one who handed the knife to the beggar boy.

It looks like he was watching from somewhere.

Maybe the boy will be beaten by saying that he can’t do such a simple thing.

Oh, swearing came from the boy as well.

‘Damn little boy, I’ve saved your life.’

If you had done that ridiculous plan, you would have been killed by those big men, or you would have been killed in silence by the man who held the knife to you.
