Chapter 60 - Part of the truth.

After we had finished breakfast, everyone got in the carriage as usual, and then we went back to travel quietly. Well, I wasn't calm because the two girls kept staring at me.

'This is uncomfortable.' It's very uncomfortable to have people staring at me like this, and I don't know if they know it's rude to do that too, am I some unknown animal or something like that?

I caught their attention and still made them scared, of course, it would be explained why they were staring I can take this opportunity to talk to them about all that.

"So, I'd like to talk to you about what happened." I tried to say as calmly as possible not to sound a little rude and also not to scare them.

After all that mess, we had to clean the body of men. We left the bodies there because we can call the city guard to bring their bodies.

It seems that this world works like this, if the bodies are still there until the guard arrives, they are taken away, but if they are not there it means the monsters ate them, people don't care about that because they are bandits.

It's a pretty strict way to treat criminals in this world, well, I agree with the treatment since bad guys in this world are mostly rapists and kill unnecessarily, so they must be prepared to die as I said before.

After I said that, everyone stared at me even more, until Cibely, who wasn't looking at me before, started staring at me.

Nobody said anything, so I decided to start talking anyway. If everyone was staring at me, it's because they are paying attention to me and want to know what it was all about, so now is the time to tell a good part of the story.

"Yes, first, I will not do anything against you, I only did that because it was bad guys and I will not go out killing anyone, especially you who are my friends now." First, I needed to talk about it since they were afraid of me.

If I didn't say that, they would think I was a sick person who would attack people just for fun. Well, after what I did, if I were in their shoes and had seen that, I'd think that, because I'm sure I had a terrifying smile back then.

"Are you sure?" Eleonor doesn't seem to believe it, so she asked again, and of course, I confirmed that I was sure of it, I wouldn't randomly attack people out there, I'm not some Serial Killer.

Now the reason for hiding my strength was to be told. I would not tell you that the queen was my grandmother, but I would say that someone was chasing me, and so I wore that hat and also hid my strength.

"Someone is chasing me, so I wear that hat, and I don't use my true strength much either, I'm an F-RANK because I just joined the guild." I counted most of everything, but I couldn't count every detail.

I don't want these girls involved in all this, and I don't want to have them chased by that man either, if that happens I'll feel guilty just as it happened to Emily, I'm glad I managed to save her that day.

After I said all this they kept looking at me without saying anything, it seems like they don't have much to say about it, but more importantly, did they believe me? About all this, someone is stalking me.

I told the truth, but I don't know if they believe me because there is no reason for a child like me to be persecuted. Well, after everything I've done with those bad guys, they may be wondering why I might be being chased.

"But why is this person after you?" Eleonor is always the first person to question things, she has a fun personality, but she also has a powerful personality when she wants to.

Well, I can only say that it's a man who wants to arrest me or kill me because of family issues, so I don't think I need to keep this a secret.

"A man is stalking me for family problems so he couldn't stay in the capital, and I even left my friend that I talk so much about," I answered Eleonor's question.

As I said that, I felt a huge tightening in my heart just talking about Emily, who didn't want to leave her alone, but I had to do it to get a better life and also find a way to live safely.

I wish she had me with me now, but it will only happen when I have a place to live with her and her family. I don't know if I'm going to make this house in the city of Grenrok, but I don't want to take too long to do it, and I want to do it quickly.

"So that's it, but why didn't you fight this man if you're so strong? When we saw you fighting, we realized that you're much stronger than us." Well, Eleonor was right, I could kill that man if I wanted to, but I don't think it's a good idea to do it now.

If I kill him, the queen will find some way that the whole country will be against me by saying that I attacked the queen's subordinates or something, and if that happened, I would have no peace.

I could make a disguise, but I would be so sought after that I don't know if a simple disguise would help me get rid of the guards' eyes, it would be quite complicated to do so. And I also have some plans for that man, and I don't want to kill him before using him for something.

Since he was the closest person to the queen today, I think it would be a good idea to use him for something, but that's for the future.

'But of course, if he decides to get in front of me again, or mess with my family and friend, I'll kill him this time.' I don't think I would have the patience to keep you alive if something like this happened.

But leaving that aside, I need to answer Eleonor's question.
