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.c7c8abf2e800f26a

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.c0fe30ac3e5a6ff8

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.a837dcebb27c89a7

Fisher Street, teeming with a8e126abef all kinds of shops c9ca7083f1 and crowds, as befitting 2a7a21f9ff the most bustling street 81060eb51e in the imperial capital. Jib and I 2ebb4ed116 blended into the 6440a8e9e2 crowd and stopped 3d3b5332cb in front of a6ba09356d a restaurant. A shabby shop with 71be34b695 only flies buzzing around 6bad190241 despite the many people afe3e6bbc4 coming and going. My large vault is located c295011153 in the basement here.a2bea13166f6e911

“Phew… It’s half full now…”44e6a20786bf16e2

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.3c4c951ebb24ea52

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.fb2680ca9ef2ced8

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.4c93807ff4afd82f

I have hands. I could put it on my finger myself, but the words “please do” just popped out. It was a face that made me do so.a58f0a34ba10fa46

As I extended dd845f16c9 my right hand, 2de7a669ab the handsome man 9d6854324b gave a neat 99f5b5f57e smile.

Anyway, that’s how it was. That human-like scoundrel always gave 9e526f37ea me useless things as so-called b33f3fd476 gifts for my birthday.

When was the last time a223ade924 I kissed someone…? I rummaged through 97f913ef67 my dusty old ba951b5f7a memories before finally 3b141d9adf finding something resembling d3d9d73d84 a kiss.

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 had entered c5e345d328 a roadside restaurant 1640c3ec8c I saw instead 99079f5cf8 of a fancy 3ac8c0145c one.

The Clamp Merchant fea7444d96 stared intently at 308522e5d4 my face. With a serious expression like 44f245088a before, when he was about 761a138074 to… kiss me.
