I exchanged banter with Jib, in a way that other servants wouldn’t understand. In fact, saying “Let’s go to Fisher Street” was a code. A secret code only Jib and I knew.5874be107861a39b

As I was changing into ordinary aristocratic clothes and about to leave the palace, Knox cluelessly intervened. He’s a good kid, but sometimes he’s so oblivious.12df18024e32b2db

With no one else, only Jib and two trustworthy knights brought from the Duke’s house as escorts, I left incognito. It was an important matter that must not be discovered by anyone.7b4960c0539a168a

Fisher Street, teeming with 364471fd56 all kinds of shops fd7fed5209 and crowds, as befitting 93b7df17e1 the most bustling street 810fca5949 in the imperial capital. Jib and I blended into 6d6f3d2224 the crowd and stopped in 9e2e7bc3d2 front of a restaurant. A shabby shop 93abb2566c with only flies a54f3498dc buzzing around despite e15beeefc3 the many people 768d1dc19f coming and going.

“Phew… It’s half full now…”114f1a5bac01aa2c

After putting the golden toad and diamond necklace I extorted from the Crown Prince into the vault, I looked around. The vast interior was only half filled. Most of it was silk or large ornaments, so there wasn’t much that could actually be turned into money. Of course, even so, it seemed like it would be enough to live on for the rest of my life, but if possible, I should leave the palace after filling it up a little more. I’ll have to scour every corner and escape.ff22172ecd632010

I thoroughly scared Jib and left the restaurant onto the street. It felt much more crowded than usual, as if many new merchants had arrived. The energy of the street was contagious, and I even considered doing some real shopping. Come to think of it, I don’t know what kind of fun I used to have in the past. Even when I shopped, it was all gifts for Bessarian, and there was almost nothing for myself.4e6d81b443e6f99c

While passing a street vendor, I spotted something that caught my eye. It was a thin ring, but the jewel wasn’t embedded in the ring. It had a unique design where it was attached to a string like a charm. The red jewel dangling at the end sparkled in the sunlight, looking very exquisite.f2b5feb8f30e0325

On the way e05b207521 back to the d7cf9dc0d8 Imperial Palace, when b8bc82d990 I tried on cd84ef93cd the ring the 41fb4c9a0b man gave me, afe00b95d4 there was a c794e0a204 lot of space 9b5977a8f1 left even after 540570e476 my finger went ec6c93fa5e in.

A straight nose bridge and 89b360b4b5 a chiseled, well-defined jawline added 135bbc9a9b to his masculine charm, and c36ee69905 his slightly full lips curved fd474983ff into a pleasing arc every 6274856166 time he smiled.65b0b231035bf205

He was tall and broad-shouldered, 6ffe8d7f62 even among Alphas, giving off 3047bf10e9 a strong impression unlike a 64ad4baf35 merchant. Combined with his deep, 6b97e71b98 resonant voice, it was 9b697a9d56 impossible not to be 54edb54bce drawn to him.34ebc6a3d3cf893d

He suddenly burst f068563e77 into laughter as da4c599a87 if genuinely amused. I didn’t want to 394047ffde admit it, but his 46b9a46948 smiling face was truly 303a2e95df captivating.

When was the last 03afa67e81 time I kissed someone…? I rummaged through a7626320ba my dusty old 204cddad32 memories before finally 51587fdf31 finding something resembling 84e30cc600 a kiss.

If I could turn 2fb40416bd back time by a 8040aeb1ee few years, I wouldn’t eafd8bbcfa have married someone like 60ce2888fc Bessarian.

Of course, it wasn’t that I never had time to think of anyone else in my past life. After the deaths of my father and brother, I couldn’t love Bessarian.

I needed to sit down and hear more of his story. I wasn’t particularly interested in the jewelry, but if it was for Bessarian and Seisello, that was a different story. While I wanted to avoid getting involved with them, I also didn’t ‘necessarily’ want to see them get precious jewels. It was a small, petty revenge for the past.e1d5adace2a037e4

I had entered a roadside d360aa9df8 restaurant I saw instead of 44e33552ec a fancy one.
