Chapter 24 (2/2)
“It is too excessiveI can tell at a glance that they aren’t highbornWe can’t give our treasure just because they aided us with the sword once…”
“His highness has made his decision, so you should all shut up”
Everyone shut their ave a fiery orderShe was level 118Since she had the highest level ahts, he had wondered if she was the leaderHe had guessed right
Well, even if she was the leader, they were…Artpe shrugged his shoulders, and he put away the Demite’s Gemstone into the Dimensional Pouch
The knights kept looking back at Artpe as if Silpennon’s actions had left ht spoke in praise about the crown prince’s upbringingSilpennon tried to act cool on the outside, but the crown prince couldn’t let go of the lingering attachment he had towards Maetel
“Mmm……”
Artpe hesitated as he looked at them
He didn’t like Silpennon, but this sentiment ca blow in his past lifeHowever, the one in front of him showed some promise
No, if he thought about it, Silpennon had carried out the dirty deed instead of the heroHe wasn’t really that bad of a guy
Every time he saw Silpennon he reer into his heart in his past lifeIt annoyed him, but when he saw the Demite’s Gemstone in his hand, any trauma he would have felt evaporated in moments
‘All rightIt feel like a waste to just send them off like this’
This hy he decided to give Silpennon a bonus
“Could you wait a little bit?”
“What?Are you perhaps going to help us…”
“Do you have any paper?”
“Paper?”
The feht tilted her head in confusionShe took out a piece of parchment from within her clothesShe handed it over to Artpe
“All right…”
He opened up the parchment, and he eerSmall smoke started to rise up as he wrote his letterIt was a trick that can be perfor ManaEveryone except Maetel flinched when they saw this
“As expected, this youth isn’t norhness…”
“If he is her assistant…At the very least, he should have that ician”
“Well, I’Also…”
Artpe took out an envelope froreen powderHe folded the note, and he handed it to the fereen powderHe gave her a light wink
“It is only for your eyes”
“W…what…”
The fehts focused their gazes on herThe feht was flustered, but she quickly hid the items
“A…are you trying to make fun of an adult!”
“I was sincereIt is only for your eyes”
“Koohk……”
Artpe ell aware of the fact that his appearance was quite pleasing If not, a big fish like the leader of the thieves’ ar to him
Of course, love didn’t develop just based on a person’s appearanceHowever, one’s appearance was the first iive, and it was undeniable that it had an immense effect on various parts of the love that develops
Silpennon was stunned as he looked up at her face
“Leseti…Really?”
“AhNo way, your highness!He’s just a young lad!”
“However, your face turned red”
“It isn’t like that!Anyways, I have to check if the note and the powder is safeI’ll keep it in my possession until then!”
“We’ll be leaving nowI hope you live long enough for us to ain”
Artpe chortled as he turned awayHe had done all he could for the deep, so they should return to their own ca outside…
“Artpe……”
Maetel’s eyes were murky like the eyes of a dead fishShe asked a question with a voice that was colder than winds bloithin the icy depths of hell
“Does Artpe perhaps like old women…?”
“NoNopeI promise you that isn’t the case”
She had also fallen for the ruse!
Artpe let out a sigh as he flicked her foreheadHe dragged her towards the campfire
On the other side, the crown prince’s party stood in place for atowards one personWhen the feht became the focus of their attention, Leseti was flusteredShe kept waving her arms
“I…it isn’t like that!It isn’t, your highness!Anyways, we should ready our ca our pursuers will follow us, we can’t rest long…”
“Yes, we should rest, and you should read the letter”
“It is probably nothing!”
Leseti erased the traces of battle, and she led the crown prince’s party towards a suitable cahts to make a shelter, so Silpennon could rest firstWhen no one was looking, she secretly took out Artpe’s letter
“That impertinent brat…”
It seenize a beauty like herLeseti let out a self-satisfied sant that it was hard to believe a young man had written itHowever, the letter was stuck to her eyes starting from the first word
[All the other knights are traitorsIt is up to you to protect the crown prince before he gets killed or kidnapped by theht tiave it to meThey won’t hesitate anymoreAhI’ve enclosed a poison within the folded envelopeYou should use itThis makes us even]
…the content of the letter had gone in a completely different direction than what Leseti had expectedThe letter still made her heart pound
