Precious engraver.?
Roselyn couldnt help but laugh.
She liked the sa nickna for sothing that felt like nothing and also important.
The thin skin where his fingers and hers touched focused all her senses.
The sensation was more covert and hotter than when their flesh went against each other.
Boom!
A drumming sound similar to Roselyns heartbeat resonated magnificently throughout the square.
At the sa ti, the narrowly gathered dancers began to roll around and spread outward.
One of the dancers who rushed to the front, right in front of Roselyn and Tamon, smiled as she looked at Roselyn.
As if in so kind of performance, the dozens or so dancers spun around her who was standing at the very front.
She was surprised and confused, and the dancers started laughing.
When Tamon stepped back, the dancers began to move more aggressively. At that mont, the dancers voice grazed her ear.
Smile, Rosie.
!
The voice was as clear as the wind, and seed to lt away like a shimr.
Did I mishear her?
As the startled Roselyn stiffened, the dancer grabbed her hand and kissed it.
The whispered voice once again grazed Roselyn like a haze.
Blessings will be with you, but dont let go of your weapon in your hands.
Strange flas flared in the golden eyes that stared straight at Roselyn.
But before she had ti to look even deeper into the eyes, the dancer turned her body and ran towards the center of the stage.
They were as light as they were when they ca to her, but faster, like the wind.
Roselyn closed and opened her eyes, but the dancer who was circling around her disappeared.
Who in the world was it?
Her heart fluttered with a chill feeling.
Smile, Rosie.
How did that dancer know my na?

The atmosphere in the square at the festival was loud and lively, but there were so things that were not.
These included the upper floors of stores unrelated to the festival, gaps in old alleys, and the rooftops of abandoned buildings.
Three or four dimly dressed n were gathered in a narrow alleyway overlooking the central square.
One of the group was wedged in between them like a spectator at a festival, and two were up on a high rooftop looking around.
They were all excellent and capable, but they couldnt easily get close to their targets.
This was because next to their targets, there were more talented people than them all put together.
Its a headache.
Nebua Ramchester, who was leading them, touched at his throbbing forehead.
He was too careful and his goal was about to crack.
He was pouring all his energy into the area, so much so that he was tingling just from the wind brushing his skin.
Shouldnt we do it now?
No, we must not act carelessly. You never know where the shadows might appear.
But if we dont do it now, we may lose our chance.
I can see that. But you have to wait. We may be attacked first before we even get close to our target.
The shadow knight who was escorting Tamon was famous for his skills.
There was no sound, no words, no trace of anything left behind.
His face, his age, his na, his voice
Since nothing was known about him, it was also difficult to analogize it.
There was a story about how Tamon had saved the life of a warrior from the far east and made him his servant, but no one could be sure of that either.
Just wait for now. The festival hasnt even started yet
The knight was in a hurry, and in a hurry he was bound to screw things up.
It was a truth of life that Nebua had learned through a few mistakes and a few sacrifices.
*Nebua hid deeper into the darkness and stared at the targets wandering around the square.
(*I think theyre the kings guards who are trying to kidnap Roselyn.)
The womans gait was unsteady as she walked, but she was so beautiful that it didnt seem real.
Nebua felt a strange sense of dj vu, a woman who looked so good in any foreign aristocratic costu.
Wasnt she a slave from Nyrux?
The womans behavior was extrely aristocratic, even though she was wearing unfamiliar clothes.
She looked at her surroundings curiously, but not at all lightly or noisily, and even though she was walking with a limp, her posture was dignified.
It was not a conscious gesture.
It was an elegant gesture that seed to have ingrained into the marrow of her bones.
She must be a noble from so countries, was she sold?
Then that elegant atmosphere and noble appearance would make sense.
And yet, there was still an uncomfortable feeling sowhere that he couldnt fathom, but now was not the ti to be thinking about that. The two n who had been watching the targets made their move.

Roselyn gave the twins so free ti.
Since Roselyn has never been outside, the twins didnt get to enjoy outside ti either.
They ran simple errands and short outings, but the majority of their ti was only at the mansion because they were taking care of Roselyn.
The hesitant twins ran excitedly without looking back as soon as Tamon beckoned them to go quickly.
Send soone to the biggest printing shop if you need us! Well be right back!
At the sa ti, how skillful it was to announce their destination.
Roselyn smiled and sent the girls on their way, and soon watched the dance.
The streets had darkened before she knew it, and colorful lights decorated the sky.
Delicious slls wafted from the food stands scattered busily on the streets.
Roselyn had little appetite, but she couldnt resist the sll of grilled at that stimulated her stomach.
Would you like so? (Tamon)
When did he notice her? Tamon sneakily grabbed her hand and led her.
Co! Its grilled skewers that are so delicious that you wouldnt know soone standing next to you died while eating it. Do you want octopus or rock show*? (Tamon)
(*its a na of the food but I dont know what it say exactly)
Rock show? (Roselyn)
Its at from a pigs thigh marinated in sauce and grilled. Its very tasty when its grilled with fruits like that. (Tamon)
What does it taste like? (Roselyn)
Roselyn involuntarily swallowed dry saliva.
She heard Tamon laughing, but pretended not to know.
Just as Tamon was about to put his hand in his pocket, Roselyn blocked him.
Im going to buy it and eat it. (Roselyn)
Do you have money? (Tamon)
Yes, I do. A lot. (Roselyn)
Tucking out her chin proudly, Roselyn took out so money she asked Asrell got from her bank a while back.
She was proud of herself, thinking that she was glad to bring the money just in case, and asked the rchant carefully.
How much is it?
Its 20 shillings per piece and 40 shillings per two.
Two?
At her puzzled expression, the rchant pointed to her side.
They look delicious. Ill take it. (Tamon)
Before she knew it, Tamon was holding another skewer just like hers and smiled brightly.
..
She was slightly perplexed, but it wasnt sothing she couldnt afford, so she gladly paid for it.
No, on second thought, considering what he had given her so far, she was willing to buy it for him.
Uncle, can I have another one with octopus? (Roselyn)
Octopus? Yes!
The skewer master, with his mustache growing in a cool way, hurriedly applied the sauce and handed her a skewer with a grilled octopus.
Roselyn stuck out an octopus skewer without looking at him.
Tamon stared at her in surprise.
mine?
One is not enough for you.
So I guess that ans its mine, right?
As if asking why do you keep asking, Roselyn stared Tamon.
She feigned an expressionless face, but her ears were slightly red.
Tamon burst into laughter for so reason, and took a big bite of the octopus in Roselyns hand.
Roselyn watched in amazent as a third of that large skewer disappeared at once.
Thats the best octopus skewer Ive ever had.
Tamon spoke in an excited voice.
Its really good.
Roselyn was also strangely excited by the voice.
She raised her chin and nodded slightly as if it was obvious.
Tamon watched her for a mont, then took the octopus skewer from her, grabbed her empty hand, and kissed the back of her hand.
I want to kiss your lips, but Im not sure youd like that since I just ate the food.
Still shalessly vulgar in such a crowded place.
Seeming to have grown sowhat accustod to his promiscuity, Roselyn berated him, looking no more surprised than before.
What was so amusing about that again, Tamon burst out laughing incessantly.
He was, after all, a man with a smile.
Shaking her head lightly, Roselyn took a bite out of her skewer.
Like he said, it was really delicious.
