Chapter 1462: et a person 1461 tis
Tan Rou and Samiyi dodged the patrolling soldiers and then continued eastward, where the houses beca more nurous but seed older and the environnt a bit worse.
“I’m going to et soone.” Once they entered the alley, Samiyi slowed down, pulling out a hand-drawn simple map, and began looking for the way, “He’s a bit eccentric, I hope you won’t mind.”
Tan Rou asked, “You must not have co out for many years, right? So can you guarantee he still lives here?”
Samiyi nodded, “He definitely lives here, because this is where he and his wife once lived, and after his wife passed away, he’s been living here alone. Sotis my brother sends soone to check on him, to bring him so stuff, but he doesn’t want to accept gifts from the royal family, throwing everything into the trash bin every ti.”
Tan Rou grew curious about who this person was, soone who dared to throw away His Majesty the King’s gifts. Wasn’t he afraid of being thrown in jail?
“113… 114…” Samiyi muttered the house numbers, “115, found it!”
...
Looking at the pitch-black house, Tan Rou said, “People are probably already resting at this ti. What if he doesn’t open the door for us?”
“No choice, I can’t co to find him during the day, so I can only try at night. Let’s go knock on the door first; if he really doesn’t open it for us, then we’ll think of sothing else,” Samiyi replied.
Unlike the Capital, the population in the King’s royal city wasn’t as dense, so nearly every family had a detached small building with a yard.
Samiyi went to knock on the door, and after a while, no one ca to open it for them.
Tan Rou said, “Maybe the person has fallen asleep already. What should we do? Co back tomorrow?”
“No.” Samiyi pressed against the door, declaring with authority, “I’ll take you over the wall.”
Tan Rou was stunned, asking subconsciously, “Samiyi, are you serious? You’re a princess!”
She had never heard of a princess from any country climbing over walls into people’s yards. People who climbed over walls were either bad guys or thieves. Could it be that Samiyi was planning to steal sothing?
“Don’t worry, I can get over,” Samiyi assured.
Tan Rou wasn’t worried about whether Samiyi could get over the wall. She was worried about getting caught climbing the wall. If she were caught in the royal city for wall-climbing, she felt she wouldn’t have the face to go back to her own country.
“Are you sure you want to climb over?” Tan Rou asked again.
“He’s old, his ears are definitely not sharp,” Samiyi said with certainty, “he definitely won’t hear us knocking like this, so we need to get closer to knock.”
Tan Rou didn’t care anymore; with the princess by her side, if they were caught, she figured the princess would take the responsibility.
The two found a relatively low wall; one climbed over first while the other supported from below, and they quickly made it over. Fortunately, people in the King’s royal city weren’t allowed out at night, otherwise, Tan Rou and her companion would definitely have been discovered.
Once inside the yard, Tan Rou relied on the moonlight to examine the courtyard’s arrangent. The courtyard was very beautiful, with a lot of flowers and plants and a simple pavilion that housed a table and chairs.
Next to the pavilion was a pond, which seed to contain aquatic plants and fish. As Tan Rou and her companion approached, the fish inside scattered with a splash. Thankfully, this household didn’t have a dog; if they did, Tan Rou suspected it would have started biting them by now.
Samiyi had no interest in observing the courtyard; she went straight to the door and started knocking.
Tan Rou felt a sense of guilt. This was her first ti sneaking into soone else’s ho, and she realized such behavior was truly not right.
After a while, the person inside woke up. Tan Rou saw a nearby window light up, followed by soone speaking.
“Who’s knocking outside?” the person inside asked.
“It’s , Samiyi,” Samiyi answered.
There was sudden silence from inside, and after quite a while, the person spoke through the window, “Samiyi, I’ve already left the royal family, and I don’t want to be involved with anything related to the royal family in the future. I’ve ntioned this to your brother, so there’s no need for you to co looking for anymore.”
“I need to see you,” Samiyi said, “we need your help, Uncle Faler.”
Faler responded cold-heartedly, “Your matters have nothing to do with . Leave quickly, or I’ll call the police on you.”
