Chapter 86 – The clash between the guards
“Sue, what you did just noasn’t a good thing” Lawrence said after a moment of hesitation as they walked down froreed to Sue’s request and he had to accept the fact that a little devil had entered his home, no matter how much he did not want to He obviously did not want her to cause any trouble, so he tried to point out certain things and reood mood…
“What wasn’t good?!”
“Well, take for example that conflict you caused in the hall on the first floor earlier……” Lawrence wanted to sigh: “You must understand that this place is the assassins’ Guild Even if et bullied, it does not mean that everyone is easy to”
He kneas a failure as an assassin
The four of them had their life planned out for them and they just needed to follow it step by step An assassination ah they dreaendary assassins, they knew that their eventual path was still handling administrative roles
[It’s because I’ainst her]
Lawrence lied to hiirl……
“The job as an assassin is dangerous, so many people here have extreme personalities, for example……”
[That person you just knocked out is infa evil…]
Before he could gently pass that infored open A masked lared at his surroundings with furious eyes, before he chanced upon Sue
“You little !…”
“Xiao Bai” Sue snapped her fingers without even turning her head back to look at hier pounced over with incredible proficiency and speed It smacked his head with its claws and caused hi him back into the room where he came from
“Uhh…… Thanks” The few healers who caught the man’s body looked back with opened h and they were hardly interested in getting involved since they worked in the backstage The doors to the healers’ rooer pranced back with cat-like steps and rubbed against Sue’s legs with meows
Sue patted its head as praise and looked back at Lawrence: “What did you say wasn’t good again?!”
“……… Nothing”
Lawrence blinked furiously and wiped away his sith forced resolution He suddenly realized his new sister was uild…… Yup, he needed to let her have her way
Sue realized the silly assassin beside her was actually quite popular on the way back to her new hoe or profession It looked like her brother’s iood
“You even speak the saer, are you really an assassin?!” Sue finally asked in a burst of curiosity
“What’s wrong with that? And how did you know he sells fish?!” Lawrence was a little surprised
“There’s a strong stink of fish about hiht assassins should be loners, kind of snobbish and condescending?!”
“Haha Actually, assassins make friends with commoners easily because there’s no need to worry that your next target would be them”
The people ere rich enough to employ the assassins Guild were ets were unlikely to be commoners
“That’s kind of true” Sue thought for a while before she agreed with Lawrence’s viewpoint and felt it was quite rare for him to show his sharp side It looked like he was actually a ser when it did not involve any assassinationelse, are there any dessert shops that are famous in this area?”
“Dessert shops? All of the faly patted Sue’s head, perhaps he did not even realize what he was doing: “Their desserts are famous and they nature desserts are Mocha pie and Le sweet?!”
[Haha, she’s a kid after all……] thought Lawrence
“……”
[Little Sue?!]
Sue felt black lines on her head He was really acting familiar with her
“I guess so I need to see a little friend this evening, so it doesn’t look good if I go empty-handed” She said
“Little friend? But there’s no one in the capital that……” Lawrence wanted to ask who she knew in the capital, before he suddenly remembered Prince Fedrus and quickly cut off his words: “…… I’ll take you over now”
When they reached Alfred’s shop, Lawrence insisted on paying for Sue with the reason that he should not let a kid pay for candy Sue was polite for a while but realized that he was ada, so she reluctantly chose the “Deluxe Sized Mocha Pie” and a large bag of lemon candy He felt happy and pained at the saer, handing half of his monthly pocket money to purchase the desserts
“Do you need ate?!” Lawrence secretly pinched his aneh he did not mind
“No that’s fine, I’ht If there’s soress” Sue waved her hand
“…… Excuse ly but did you say ‘e word made him feel uneasy
“I ather infor a plan based on inforh”
“……” Lawrence dabbed his forehead with his sleeves to wipe off the cold sweat and gave a hallow laugh: “I thought you’re friends with the little prince?!”
“We are”
“…… Then if you’re friends with the little prince, surely you can go in by the main entrance Surely there’s no need to…” Lawrence floundered his ar time but he was still unable to describe Sue’s actions…… Was she trying to pick a bone over nothing?! Or perhaps she orried that her status as a commoner would not be allowed to see the prince?!
“Who set the rules that one h the front door when they visit a friend’s home?!”
Who the heck would be able to stop her if she wanted to jump onto a sill?!
“I’o back too, I can take care of myself”
“Huh, okay…”
It was very easy to find the palace because the building was too conspicuous Sue went onto the biggest street and startedto the direction she believed was the center She was fortunate enough to find the palace…… walls
She stared at the clean walls for three full minutes before she took out several buckets of paint and started painting on it A huge red sun, over the blue sky, and blue-green lakes with several ducks on them……
The palace’s guards were indeed efficient in their jobs There was a group of guards who rushed over to check the barrier within minutes When they saw the scene they puked out blood at the sa her arms about to perform artistic creations on the wall
Since the Tobias’s kingdouards were alsoat the outer walls… Of course that would be a different matter if it was inside the palace
“……” The guards’ leader had black lines over his head as he waved his hand to get the guards to lower down their weapons He squeezed out a sirl, it’s not permitted to draw on the palace’s walls”
“Hirl looked up innocently The question ain
[Why, you ask?! Because the palace isn’t a kiddy’s playground! Because the palace has to nity at all times!]
But that ansould be too difficult for the little girl’s coentle voice and explained to her in a way that she could understand: “If you dirty the walls, the palace maids will have to clean the it harder for the”
“Oh…” The little girl looked down sadly and she tried lifting up the bucket of paints with effort: “Then I won’t paint anymore”
“That’s a good little girl” The guard leader was quite pleased and quickly ordered his guards to clean up the mess He really did not think that he could settle the issue so easily and this kid was so understanding…
“… The Elven king’s socks!” He suddenly shouted
[How did this little girl carry so much paint over?! Why did no one discover her actions?!]
“Mister, are you the leader of the guards?!” The little girl grabbed his sleeves and asked with upturned eyes
“You…… Yes” The guards’ leader was defeated by her pure eyes The corners of his lips convulsed a few ti at the palm prints on his uniform: “Let this mister escort you out, okay?!”
“Hmm?!” She blinked, then shook her head: “No, I want you to carry me”
“……” He just sacrificed his sleeves, now he had to sacrifice his whole shi+rt?! The guards’ leader silently sed the mouthful of blood as he looked at the extended arirl The words of refusal refused to corit his teeth and let his tears flow freely: “Okay, this mister will carry you”
Five uards’ leader returned with three hand prints altogether His men comforted him
“Captain, stop looking so glooirl”
“…… Maybe if she wants ht be happy” The captain said: “Do you think it’s okay for e my clothes?!”
“I think the fourth captain will grab this chance to mock you He’s not the best of terms with you…” One of them said with sympathy
“That’s true Never mind, I ait until our shi+ft is over We should report back on the incident so let’s go back now…… Huh, where’s my token of authority?!” The captain paled at once, and his hands went all over his body to search for it He recalled that he placed it in his pocket before his shi+ft, as it gone?!
“Your token is gone?! We need to find it now…… The Elven kings above, could it be that the little girl…”
“Are you stupid! How old is that little girl!” One of the men retorted
“It’s not that kid Her hands were full of paint, if she took it my clothes would be dirty Perhaps I dropped it soht about what happened a while ago
“We need to find it quickly, if we can’t we have to apply for an eic on the token!”
“You’re right But I really don’t want to see my superior for this matter He and I are not really on the best— Never uys help me find it……”
They quickly left the area and went back to search for the token Since they were not patrolling guards and acted only when the alar, they were quite free to move about…
Sue was squatting down silently in a nearby bush She glanced at the token……
[Only half an hour?!]
She iic mirror: “Lawrence, I reuard’s authority token is able to bypass the palace’s barrier?!”
“— That’s right” Lawrence sith hesitation: “Are you thinking of killing the guards?!”
“No” She shook her head and waved the token in her hand: “I want to ask you if this is the token?!”
She had no choice but to get the guards’ leader to carry her At her height, she was only able to steal the money pouch on his waist The question hether she stole the right object inside his arot the correct iteht object If she took soht end up getting jailed
“You already killed one of the guards?!” Lawrence felt faint
