Chapter 46 - Outing - I (1/2)

”I am here to take you out as the part of your training, lady Whittemore,” Alex greeted Kim Su Won the next day, ready in his garb as her guard for the day.

Isaac Laurent had decided that Emmeline Whittemore lacked the real world experience and needed to get out before she started her lessons to understand how the real world worked.

He had informed the kid and her maid that his son would be taking her out for the day. They had allotted her a budget of hundred krislas, the currency of Krislabet. She were to spend the money however she see fit but had to check out at least ten different businesses and write a report about her experience.

It was a great exercise for herself because, although she knew what innovations the originally transmigrated woman had brought about in the novel, she had far less idea on how people were living here.

Kim Su Won wanted to make money herself, but since her years were numbered, she was also glad to be of servitude nature to the citizens. If she could raise her own reputation among the masses while helping them out raise their standard of living, would it not be the best for the original transmigrator too?

She had readily agreed to the proposal. The only thing she did not know was that Ivan had insisted on going with them and she was now stuck with him too.

She had wanted to be lowkey, so she was wearing one of the simplest dresses she owned. She was almost at par with what Anna was wearing. Simple gowns with no frilly skirts in pastel colors. There were no accessories or ornaments. Kim Su Won had her hair half tied in a pony and Anna was wearing a bun. The kid did not have to worry about her identity being discovered because her hair was a bit more common in the area than her siblings and Whittemores in general.

Alex had to put on colored fake glasses to hide his eye's color and he was wearing a cap that hid his hair color well. Ivan had to do the same. They looked like twins with matching outfits and equally handsome faces.

The carriage had arrived, which was also not flashy like the official carriages of the duchy. There was no insignia of the dukedom on the carriage too.

”Thank you for going along with my wish to remain anonymous, Alex,” Kim Su Won smiled when she realized that the trip was going to be smoother than she thought. Except the presence of Ivan but she had decided to ignore her elder brother for the time being.

Alex nodded. It was his duty as her guard. And he wanted her to do well on her assignment. ”Please let me know if you need anything else my lady… I mean E-Emmeline.”

”When did you guys go on first name basis?” Ivan shifted his gaze from one to other, his eyes full of suspicion. They had officially just met. Alex still did not call Ivan by his first name after all these years but he was already so chummy with his sister?

To say that Ivan was unhappy was understatement. He was jealous! Of how easy it was for his younger sister to form relationships. All that kid needed to do was either smile or pout. She was a kid, a pretty one at that. And she did not need to think about her position as a Whittemore either.

Ivan Whittemore suddenly felt like the position of the heir was not as lucrative anymore. He did not have any freedom at all.
