Chapter 992: Intermission - Day in the life of *Haley* (2)



This noble was one of the barons of the capital, one of those that had distinguished himself in the war against the four kingdoms.

So he received this baron title when the war was over and resided in the capital since he was still a knight.

But after being a noble for a while, this once brave knight had been completely corrupted by the lifestyle of the nobles.

As shown by how his figure had completely changed.

Once he had a six pack...now he only had a single pack.

But it wasn't just his lifestyle that had changed, it was also his greed that had been stoked.

As such, this baron was now even eyeing one of the queens.

As soon as he had laid his eyes on Haley, he had immediately fallen in love with her.

At the same time, there was the idea that as long as he was able to convince her to cheat with him, then it would be possible for him to climb. Having one of the queens as his backer and lover was no doubt the best way to climb the ladder of nobility.

That was why this baron was here even though this store was filled with commoners.

Though the look in his eyes...it was as if he couldn't see himself failing.

Perhaps that might have been true once upon a time when he was still an active knight, but now that he had fallen to the vices of being a noble...

It was hard to call him handsome anymore.

His once long flowing hair had almost completely fallen out on top, so there was now an empty dome where his hair had been. He had become the perfect example of a balding middle aged man.

By all right, a lowly noble like this baron shouldn't have the right to call Haley 'Miss Haley', he should have called her your majesty. However, Haley allowed the visitors of her store to address her like this.

This was one of the rules that had been put in her store and she made sure to enforce it since she didn't want to disconnect from the people.

That was why commoners liked shopping here.

It was also why nobles liked shopping here since this was one of the only places where they could address one of the queen's casually. It was also one of the few places where they would have a chance to contact the royal family freely.

So it was not only a place to gather relationships, but also information from the royal family.

Haley forced herself to stay calm.

It was a good thing that the thing in between her legs had stopped during this time.

That was because there was someone else who was suffering in her place.

This person's legs had suddenly gone out from under them in front of her trusted

subordinate.

Once she calmed herself, Haley said to the baron, "Sir Baron, if there's nothing else, I still have some other things to take care of. So if you will excuse me..."

Before she could turn to leave, the baron suddenly came forward and raised his hand to wag a finger in front of her before saying, "Che, che, it's not that simple Miss Haley. I have some important business that I have to discuss with you today."

Then in a lower voice, he said, "Of course, I hope that I will be able to discuss this important business in private."

Haley didn't seem like she wanted to, but she eventually nodded in agreement and started heading to the back.

But as they were heading into the back, her face turned a bit red and she suddenly went...

"Ah..."
