Chapter 169

After a not-so-long embrace, Esmuer stood up and said, fanning his slightly reddened ears.

“Ah, anyway. I honestly can’t say for certain since cases like yours are few and far between, but I can guarantee that you won’t be dragged into a public position.”

“Didn’t you just hold me...?”

“Heh, don’t say nonsense. I have to go to the royal palace right away, but I moved because it’s not good to be disheveled. Depending on the result, you should be prepared to hold on a little stronger!”

It sounds like you will be hugged again if there are good results... Isn’t it embarrassing to be proudly proclaiming that with your mouth while being embarrassed to be hugged?

I was getting a little shy too, so I decided to pretend I didn’t know.

“Anything else I should know?”

“I don’t think there’s anything in particular. In fact, if you have any regrets about the reward, the purpose was to adjust this and that, but you’re not interested at all. Suddenly, it’s become a time to fill your thoughts.”

Esmuer took a deep breath and checked the rapidly normalizing complexion in the mirror in the room and continued.

“As soon as it’s sorted out, I’ll put in a message so that you can rest in peace. To be honest, since I visited the empire, the only thing I can think of is that I’ve been acting too recklessly.”

“Isn’t that a bit like...?”

“I know that you are working hard for your purpose, but don’t forget that when you die, you are nothing.”

I only nodded my head silently because the last words were made with determination without a hint of playfulness.

After finishing the visit, Esmuer went down the stairs with an expressionless face as if he had never done that before, and led the black knights to the carriage.

I could tell that the faces of the nobles of the kingdom who followed her were full of curiosity about what they were talking about, but since that wasn’t my job, I decided to only care about seeing her on her way.

Nothing much happened after Esmuer’s visit, which had been so stormy. Only the high-end furniture that was changed through the sweat and blood of the employees remained awkward.

I was a bit flustered by the sudden visit, but I made up my mind and decided to spend the rest of the time reading the magic book the maid borrowed.

And towards the end of the evening, he began to gnash his teeth and express his anger.

“I will definitely throw this book in the face of the author someday...”

Tannebello Vistal, author

of [Concise and Easy Magic for Beginners] .

Looking at the title alone, I thought that it would be of great help to me now, and I turned the page. I believed in the title of this book and endured, and realized that I had been deceived.

“Wherever you look at this, it’s a book for beginners!”

Even the book that Ragnis carried for a while at the Imperial Academy would be easier than this!

I hung around reading for several hours to see jargons that I couldn’t understand what they were talking about popping out at random and harmonizing with the complex style unique to this era, but the results were disastrous.

I thought I might have suddenly developed dyslexia, so I read it again with great care, but nothing changed, and I had no choice but to grit my teeth and put the book on the table.

It doesn’t mean that I don’t want to look like I did something wrong or flirt with her.

...isn’t it? Because I was really quiet.

After such a simple greeting, did he leave the detention center and walk only ten steps?

Suddenly, a high-class carriage came to my side, stopped, and someone from the driver’s seat got out and greeted me with a bow.

Unusually, the person wearing the butler’s uniform, which could be seen as high-class even at a cursory glance, was a woman.

She bowed respectfully and opened the carriage door as if it were natural, but I couldn’t help but tilt my head.

“who are you?”

As soon as I was released from prison, it didn’t look like someone out of the blue had the purpose of kidnapping me, but since I hadn’t heard anything about it, I couldn’t help but wonder. While I was stuck for almost a week, I was going to walk back to see what had changed, but I was just embarrassed.

But the other side doesn’t answer anything. He just stood there like a butler with the carriage door open in the same posture. Even if you look at the curtains at the entrance of the carriage, it’s a very high-class carriage, but Cheryl and Ragnis came to pick them up when they came to pick them up themselves.

I thought that the other person might be dumb, but that was the other side of the story, and there was no reason for me to get on the unknown carriage, so I moved away from the carriage while looking at her with an expression that I would see something strange.

“Come on. I’ll take you to Ogatorf.”

Still don’t raise your head. But as if confirming that my steps were getting farther away, the unidentified woman finally opened her mouth.

And with that alone, my hostility began to run towards MAX.

“Did you ask who I was? Did you ask where I was going?”

Most of the people who answer my questions alumni are idiots who pretend to be with me in the near future or have a bad back. Although she openly expressed her displeasure, the woman still kept her bent posture and did not move a word.

It’s good to be silent without speaking. It might be one way to keep your mouth shut forever in case of an emergency. I think you already know who I am and where I’m going, but it’s a good indicator that if you try to make a connection in a questionable way like this, you might get stabbed.

With that mindset, the woman who was bending her waist flinched when she pulled out the sword of Gish that was on her waist, but her words were heard elsewhere.

“As I’ve heard, he’s a very bold person.”

The voice from inside the carriage belonged to a young woman.

“I’m not in a position to speak out loud for circumstances. Could you give me a minute?”

Following the request, what came out of the curtain in the carriage was a folded woman’s fan.

However, the crest at the end was the crest of the royal family of Itthiel.

“About the series of events that happened this time...”

“Ah, no, no, no.”

And as soon as I checked that sentence, I walked away without looking back.

I don’t need any more politicians in my life!
