Chapter 68

Translator: Darling | Editor: Coming soon…

“I’m also against the idea of execution. I mean, you haven’t done anything yet. There’s no concrete evidence of you doing anything bad. It’s just suspicious that you came from another country. So to tell us to execute you the next time we see you… Is just too extreme.”

“Yeah.”

Edward said, followed by Makoto.

“…Then let’s just settle on supervision. Just not here, or in the royal place.”

“I feel like that’s also a bit too much, but…”

Though Makoto was looking dejected earlier, she raised her head in response to my statement. On the other hand, Lord Edward looked pensive.

Lord Edward has the habit of touching his face, around where his mouth is with his right hand when he’s thinking.

He does this every time he’s seriously thinking about something.

Which means he’s seriously thinking about my idea.

For some reason, I felt kind of happy about that.

“I don’t particularly mind. Please, feel free to keep me under watch.”

I politely kneeled.

“I see. In that case, Makoto, I’ll leave her up to you.”

“Yes, sir. Understood.”

After Lord Edward looks at me with a pained face, he faces Makoto and gives her his orders.

Lord Edward trusts Makoto.

And I’m a little bit envious of that.

After answering his orders, Makoto came up to me.

“It might feel a bit uncomfortable for you, but we will be keeping an eye on you for a while.”

“I see. All right.”

I wonder what’s the probability of my organization chasing after me now that I’m being monitored. Probably low, right?

They’re probably wary of the risks after all, while there’s still a risk of me being assassinated by them, I can’t imagine that they would come to me to pressure me into killing Lord Edward.

Even if I’m not around anymore, there’s still plenty of skilled assassins in that group.

They would just have to ask one of those assassins to kill him, and that’s it.

“So. Exactly where should I go then?”

“Anywhere is fine. As long as it’s within Hazrat.”

“I see. Is that right? Wouldn’t it be too difficult for you to keep track of me?”

I wonder how many people were assigned to tail me. 

“That will not be a problem. Please do as you like.”

“Really? If that’s the case, is it fine if I look for a job? I need money if I’m going to live after all.”

It can be said that I basically have no money.

I came here with just the clothes I have on; I came here without any luggage or items so to speak.

It will probably be difficult to find a place to stay with the money that I have with me.

And since that’s the case, I really need to earn some money quickly.

“If it’s necessary, should we provide you with an allowance?”

“I’ll be fine without it. I don’t know how long I’ll be stuck here, but as long as I can earn some money to live in this country, it should be fine.”

“I see. In that case, should we find you a place so you can stay temporarily?”

“That would help a lot. Can I choose the place by any chance?”

“…To a certain degree.”

How hospitable of them.

I quickly left Lord Edward and Yuki and had Makoto show me where I would soon start living.
