Playboy [Part 3]
“…! I-I see. How rare of the three siblings to act separately…”
The prince’s rising hope of seeing Emma outside school withered instantly.
“Well, for the ti being, Emma can’t go out of the mansion on days off…”
Outside the academy, Emma, the main cause of every commotion, was strictly supervised in turns by her mother, lsa, and grandmother, Hilda, so she wouldn’t cause any more trouble.
Right now, she must be at the mansion obediently reading the docunts on Over lsa had brought back.
“Yeah, the insect commotion the other day was really terrible. Lady Emma has been pushing herself to attend the academy and act like everything is fine after that, but there is no way she can recover that soon.”
“Emma…”
Arthur’s and the prince’s expressions turned gloomy after hearing George say Emma couldn’t leave the mansion.
“Huh? No… Well, let’s just say that it is as you said. By the way, you two. What are you doing dressed like [green and rich noble young masters coming to the Commoner District secretly without an escort to carry out crooked sches]?”
“ “Huh?” ”
“No, well, I myself have so business in the slums and am on my way there…”
Arthur and the prince intended to disguise themselves as commoners, but they weren’t thorough enough. Although the two were dressed more lightly and plainly than usual, they were ard with imposing swords, their belt buckles were pure silver, and their shoes were spotless without a speck of dust.
Their disguise wasn’t thorough enough that the general store owner said, “Hey, there are so suspicious nobles…” warily and asked George to check out the situation.
Sotis, noble young lords ca to the Commoner District casually to visit the brothel secretly or get their hands on weed that made one euphoric when smoked. These noble young lords were nothing but a nuisance to the commoners who lived there peacefully.
Swords, belt buckles, and shoes were all suitable targets for robbers, and most young lords who ca for the purposes ntioned above were rude and likely to cause trouble.
It was still better if they reflected on their actions after having a bitter experience, but so would also bring guards from their houses and return for revenge. Every ti that happened, everywhere in the street would be destroyed and damaged, so it was very intolerable.
That was why the people on this street were staring at the prince and Arthur from afar warily, and the won and children were keeping a safe distance so they wouldn’t be falsely accused of bumping into those two’s shoulders.
George had been seen several tis with the Rothschild Company people, who often had dealings with aristocrats. So it couldn’t be helped that soone from this street would ask George to do sothing about “those two nobles” when he also happened to be present.
“Wha! Going to the slums alone is dangerous, George-kun. You should at least bring five guards with you…”
‘Didn’t you just recently get scolded because you went to the slums with your siblings alone?’ Thinking so, Arthur reminded George.
“It’s alright, y’know? I only called it the slums to make it easy to understand, but that place is now Stuart’s territory.”
“It’s our own land.” Sure enough, George didn’t appear to think much about going to the slums.
“Ah, right… That place is already Stuart’s territory now….”
It was still fresh in everyone’s mory that the slums were given as a reward for the Stuart family’s past achievents at Emma’s request.
Arthur heard that the reward-bestowing and various procedures were promptly carried out according to the royal order.
“Hmm.” The prince briefly thought of sothing, then grinned.
“Your Highness?”
Arthur had a bad feeling about this.
“George, is it alright if we follow you to the slums… I an, the new Stuart’s territory?”
“Oh, sure.”
“! Wait!? Your Highness!!! George-kun too! I won’t be assured even if you agree to it so lightly! It will be too late to regret if anything happens to His Highness, you know?”
