Chapter 292 - Only a child (2/2)

Pretty wouldn't be the word he would use to describe the town. But if that's what the little girl thinks then sure enough.

”What's this place, mister?”

”Hm, it's a park.”

Lyn kept asking him questions, and it didn't take him long to realize why. ”You've...never gone to town before?”

The girl nodded, and Arthur looked at her dumbfounded. Is she serious? He's heard of girls that have been sheltered, but this is a bit too much. He's never heard of nobles who can't go out to town. While some try to restrict their sons and daughters, it is difficult to do so, since all nobles have to do that greeting ceremony in town. ”Then, should we go out?”

”But, Im not allowed to leave.”

Arthur smiled, ”Relax. I will take you.”

….

Town

Sneaking out of Junlan church is easy. For somebody who knows the terrain that is. But even then, Arthur was careful. The reason why he was sneaking around instead of walking out of the front door normally is because of this girl standing in front of him. The town was fairly busy today, so Arthur decided to take her to the harbor area.

No matter how crowded it is, the harbor market is large, so they wouldn't have to feel suffocated.

”Why do you have to wear a hood?”

Lyn looked down, ”Uh, well uh…”

That was an insensitive question. She's obviously doing so to hide her identity. She really must be some big shot, noble.

”Do you want anything?” Arthur decided to change the topic swiftly.

”Frozen ice!”

Arthur blinked, ”Huh, you want that in this season? It's cold.”

Lyn pouted, ”But I've never eaten it before.”

She hasn't? Then again, frozen ice isn't exactly popular. It's cold food. Still, this girl hasn't gone to town too... There are probably many other normal things that she hasn't done before. He looked at her and saw Lyn was staring at everything with bright eyes.

His gaze softened, well he supposes he could just show her. This would be a good chance for her to learn. ”The stands are over there, let's get some.”

”Okay!” Lyn replied cheerfully.

The kid seemed very happy. Well, he supposes this is fine. He did intend to go to town to get some news. He might as well have some fun here too. Still, his gaze darted towards Lyn, who was walking ahead slightly. For a child, isn't she attracting too much attention? It was no exaggeration to say that every person they walked past was looking at her.
