"Milady? Is it really alright to not accompany you?" Erin asked.
She was standing at the side with Mari, seeing out. The carriage was in front of us and is ready to leave anyti. Uno was also waiting for , along with the other guards. I didn't tell them what my real purpose was and just said that I wanted to go to the capital and walk around.
"Yes, it's fine. I want to be alone this ti so both of you can just stay here," I told them.
I don't really know whether my father knows that I went to the rcenary guild last ti and if he did, he never ntioned it to . Maybe he's giving space or sothing?
I turned towards Uno and whispered to him.
"Bring to the rcenary guild from before.."
"The guild? Milady wants to go there again?" He reaffird.
"Yes. There is sothing that I want them to do," I confird.
Uno pursed his lips and sighed.
"Okay."
He really can't win against . Heh~
The two bowed when I got inside the carriage, wishing well.
"Have a safe trip, milady."
"Mmm," I humd with a wistful smile.
The carriage then sped away from the mansion and we're now making our way towards the Capital.
Just as I told him, Uno brought back to the sa rcenary guild we went to last ti. When he helped to get down, Uno had looked like he was about to say sothing but maybe he had already thought he wasn't going to change my mind, so he held back.
As soon as we stepped inside the inconspicuous textile shop that had few custors when we ca, the staff imdiately greeted us. The people at the counter must have rembered who we are and had a look of surprise upon seeing us there. Aisha, the woman from last ti who pointed a dagger at us, glanced at the man with an eyeglass.
I forgot his na but he was like the person who acts as a manager of this guild or sothing. Honestly, the only person I rembered working here is Aisha and the owner of this guild. Has it been that long since I ca here? I don't think so…
"Ah, is the lady back here for the sa thing as the last ti?" The gentleman in the round eyeglasses asked when he got closer to us.
Now I rember! He is Elric, the round-glasses guy! The level-headed one if I say so myself.
"That's right," I replied, glancing around for effect.
The other custors are either old servants from the nobles' houses that ca here to buy fabrics to sew on. Maybe make a mantle or sothing…
Therefore, almost everyone was looking at , for it was strange to see a young lady there. I probably look so out of place but whatever… I didn't co here for fabrics anyway.
"Then please follow to the textile room," Elric uttered good-naturedly and stretched out his arm towards the direction of the room he was referring to.
"Sure," I grumbled and wordlessly followed him.
Both Uno and I trailed after him, ignoring Aisha's curious stares behind our backs. Elric then closed the door behind us and led us back to the sa hallway which would bring us to their main headquarters or sothing. He didn't speak so we didn't utter a single word either and just quietly followed him.
We then saw a group of n, huddling around a table and rrily talking. Maybe about their past experiences or their journey or whatever it was, they just looked like they were having fun. The last ti we ca here, there were only five to six people but now, there's more.
There are a lot of unfamiliar faces and there are also familiar ones mixed in them. When we strolled in with Elric accompanying us, the rowdy group had turned to look at us with unrestrained interest. We naturally ignored them. If I was soone else and had felt their boring eyes looking at my every movent, given the fact that they are all n at that, I would surely feel conscious with myself or be very nervous.
But alas, I am so used to stares by now that it doesn't even bother anymore. I'm just like, whatever, look at all you want, who cares.
So yeah, great thing huh?
Anyways, for so reason, Elric led us to one of the booths we saw last ti. I didn't ask why though and just followed. Uno was as vigilant as usual and stuck to most of the ti. He didn't even drop his guard even when we're already inside the room.
Elric cleared his throat to catch my attention.
"This is how we normally do transactions and the last ti was unconventional. I hope the lady understands," he said.
"Mmm." I an, I really have nothing to say to that.
Now that he said that, that ti was really weird. I have no idea how this whole thing works, until now if I add. Elric said this is the right way so it makes sense, I guess.
Elric noticed that I wasn't going to add more so he decided to cut to the chase and ask what I ca for.
"Then let's talk about what the lady wanted. Ah, by the way, did you perhaps receive the report from master?" He sprang that question up out of the blue and boy did it catch off guard.
I blinked at his question and instantly got flustered when I recalled the whole thing about that report. To cover that up, I averted my eyes and studied the whole room we are in instead. I an, why would that mory suddenly sprang up to my face, am I right?
Your master is nothing but a pervert!
"Oh yeah. I did," I muttered in a fake nonchalance and quickly changed the topic-- "Anyway, I wanted you to investigate soone for . Again."
I don't want to rember what happened that ti because, for so reason, shivers just go down from my spine.
"I am listening," Elric muttered.
"There's this one family from a neighboring kingdom, Wisteria. I want you to gather information about the Castello family that lives there. Is it possible?" I inquired.
I was worried because the Kingdom of Wisteria is not located in the Rosenthal empire. It's in an entirely different geological location and they might reject this mission because of that. After all, they have to travel to other lands to et my demands, and it's kind of understandable in a way.
Still, I am quite desperate. I really wanted to know whether there is soone out there like who had been thrown unabashedly in here without their knowledge.
