I entered the carriage and closed the door, only to find her standing just outside, looking towards in shock.
Of course, for soone like her, with hardly any cultivation, those third-grade materials would be a treasure.
I simply shook my head.
"You are useless to , so just go away. Shoo, shoo."
I shook my hand with the coldest tone possible, believing there was no reason for to waste any mont with her.
It was better for her to just leave.
"But why 10 millio...gol...you...." Her voice ca in fragnts, and it seed as if she was so shocked that she couldn’t comprehend the situation. She wasn’t speaking clearly, which only made more pissed.
"Tch, start the carriage before this beggar embarks on it! I already said, go away; you are useless to !"
I yelled at her in a sharply angry manner.
This caused her eyes to widen as the carriage started, leaving her standing there with the pouch in her hand.
But soon enough, she sprinted behind the carriage, as if running towards .
The speed of the carriage, given the presence of internal energy enhancing every living being here, made the horses fast enough to exhaust her body, not allowing her to catch up.
With soft eyes, which seed terrified for so reason, I sighed.
Taking out the paper that the woman had given , I realized that maybe this girl wanted that slave contract.
’It’s already useless to .’
Not caring, I tore the paper, making sure she saw it before throwing the small pieces outside the carriage.
As they plunged through the air, I closed my eyes with my hands folded, considering there was no reason for to have any further relationship with that girl.
From now on, she would be on her own.

After a journey of around half an hour, finally, the carriage entered near the core area of the capital city, where existed the palaces of royal heirs and the royal family.
Given how I was about to engage with the princess, the arrangents for my stay in the capital city were handled by her, and particularly within her own palace, which, unlike other heirs, was closest to the royal palace.
It was really confusing for many people to digest the fact that a princess without any family support was the one who had one of the four major palaces surrounding the royal palace under her.
Though in truth, that palace initially belonged to her mother, upon whose death she, being of little age, found herself entangled in politics and was clearly forced to leave that palace due to its enormous working cost.
Several lower mistresses showed their interest in having that palace, which were bestowed upon the princess’s mother by the king due to her achievents in battle and was her personal property, due to which it followed the inheritance, and princess got it naturally.
But, with the heavy cost of running such a palace, which normally everyone expected would either be sold or abandoned soon enough, given one could purchase a whole territory outside the capital city at enormous cost, one would get just by selling that palace.
However, the princess managed everything by cost cutting and selling things other than her house.
Toys, clothes, everything one could never expect from a tender-aged girl were sold just so that she could sustain and keep the palace.
And with that, Princess Aleriana Vandreat started to be called the poorest frugal princess.
A story that definitely felt sympathetic, it naturally was written by the author to create a bonding with readers and was really sad, but the issue here was that this sympathy was not going to save my neck.
That little girl who, at such a tender age, was able to distinguish the value of her palace and those re toys was now an adult with the brain honed by surviving in that cut-throat heir battle.
There let alone sympathy; she would not even blink while killing .
And it was not even that I could simply use my ability and kill her, considering her death would start a series of attacks on .
Naturally, no matter how overpowered my ability appeared, it was fixed in a 10-ter radius, and going against a whole kingdom would seal the coffin with my death.
So I needed to handle the whole situation in a peaceful and strategic manner.
"Sir, we are heading towards the 4th palace," the carriage driver inford about the carriage moving towards the fourth palace, which naturally among the four belonged to Princess Aleriana Vandreat.
Unlike the other three surrounding the royal palace, which belonged to the Elder, Dowager, and an Ancestor, this was the sole palace that belonged to the princess.
This simple location of the palace, being one of the four major palaces in Azure Fla Kingdom, already created the mindset in common people that Princess Aleriana Vandreat was indeed one of the potential heirs.
’By the way, what if I don’t survive?’, for a mont, a thought crossed my mind, given maybe things didn’t go as I planned it to be, and I beca cornered in a situation where I needed to get rid of both Princess Aleriana and Olea.
Naturally, I was not going to sacrifice myself for this woman, simply leaving my fate or destiny in their hands, so I would try to avoid harming them as much as possible.
But if the situation seed to corner , then I would have no option but to resort to killing them.
My ability had limits, so after killing them, thinking to go against so Elder or Ancestor was not even in question, considering they would just crush from far away with so long-range attack.
So the only option I would have after killing them would be to flee out of this kingdom, just like what Kyle did.
Living here would keep on the edge, with cultivators being able to sense energy signatures finding at any mont, entangling in a never-ending cycle that could only be broken by escaping their jurisdiction.
Now this left Aerdant Eternal Kingdom, which exactly was the sa kingdom where Kyle had escaped.
Given through the story, I was aware of the geography of that kingdom; among the other remaining two, it was the most proper option for .
Growl!
’Are you hungry?’, hearing a loud sound, I looked down, opening my eyes towards that small mosquito seated with eyes closed, as if a statue, only to find her frowning, looking towards with that ugly expression.
:: It was you, filthy human, who farted; we reapers don’t do such things! ::
’No, you do fart, but it’s just with your mouth,’ with again a feeling twitch in my eyes, I closed them, realizing that if I were to hear her or look at her, I was definitely going to punch her body, and that was not the thing I wanted to do, considering I feared for a mont that what if her death caused to lose this death ability.
Just a doubt, or not that I could even kill her.
’Shit, what am I even thinking?’ From a modern world leading my peaceful life to becoming so psychopath killing people and thinking about killing others, I felt my head hurt.
But again, with nothing in my control, I just sighed, with my hands moving towards my stomach, realizing that indeed, I was hungry.
But I was poor.
I didn’t have money to eat.
"Um, hey, do you have sothing to eat?" I knocked back towards the carriage wall, trying to ask the carriage driver for sothing to eat.
"Uh...hu...yes, young master, but this would not suit your taste," her voice ca surprised, as if feeling embarrassed to offer the food which he was carrying.
Not like I cared even if it was molded bread.
"Just give it to ."
