In order to participate in the harvest festival, he came with his father to the King's Capital. Apparently your father had to go say hello to other nobles, and I was to take a few escorts around to see the festival first.
By the way, I don't attend this year's harvest festival because my mother has a baby in her tummy and she has a big tummy. Now I'm taking my time at the mansion with the maids.
When I told her I was going to buy her a souvenir, she told her mother, "Enjoy the festival because it's a good souvenir."
Though...
(Uh, yeah. Just die!
(Ha-ha-ha, I finally found it. The crowd at the festival is troublesome, but I can observe you closer than usual. Yes, I will be checking your behavior today!!)
(Fuhihi, which one shall I stab you with?
After all, Wang Du hears a lot of 'strong heart voices' and feels sick.
Someone with a grudge against someone, or someone like a stalker. And then some of them are thinking about killing humans because anyone else is fine.
... I can't enjoy the festival.
By the way, the man who was trying to stab someone with a hidden knife decided to hand it over to the gendarmerie here, having the escorts who are coming with us to King's Capital catch him.
I know there's a bad guy who's going to attack someone, but I can't do anything about it. I am the daughter of your father (Earl of Silveray).
This is the capital of the king, and even though it is not your father's territory, we noblemen are obliged to protect you. Well, there are more nobles who don't think that way.
I will deliberately go into his sight alone so that a man with a knife can easily attack me. Then I found out, and he approached me.
He looked completely amateur and approached me with his hand in his jacket pocket, so my suspicious escort caught me a man.
The knife man was only conscious of me, so I didn't seem to notice the inflexible escorts who were a little far away. Sometimes when I read the voices of the guards' hearts, I tweaked them to make it difficult for them to get into the sight of a knife man.
The escort noticed that he was hiding the knife and took the man to the gendarmerie.
I didn't do anything, but I think he was going to be detained somewhere, at least during this festival, because he could have hidden the knife and approached me, the Count's daughter.
In the meantime, the guy who seemed the most at stake managed.
The escorts seized it before I took out the blade, so it hasn't been that much fuss. The festival continues as if nothing happened.
I wonder if sneaking up on these kinds of peace is also my role as a skilled reader.
But I'm still weak.
We need to get strong fast and be able to stop the guy with the dangerous thoughts without having to rely on the escort or anyone else!
I think so, but after all, there are too many humans in Wangdu with a strong heart voice...
I can't block my mind's voice no matter how conscious I am because I haven't fully used my skills. It's pretty tight to hear human negative emotions all the time.
Already...... Limits.
"Charles, long time no see"
"Brother Cain!
Phew, and I couldn't hear my surrounding mind.
That's because Brother Cain's heart voice was so beautiful and so powerful.
When you talk to Brother Cain, no matter how strong your heart sounds around you, you can't hear it. Maybe I unconsciously want to hear only your brother's voice.
Only in Koyu time can I control it properly, but it can also be a reason to think that my skills (reading minds) still have a cost of stretching.
"Are you all right? You don't look very pale..."
(My sister is still cute. But why are you looking ill? Is something wrong?
He said I'm cute...
Your brother always praises you for saying that in his mouth, but he also says that in his heart. I'm so glad to hear that!
"Actually, I was about to be attacked by a man with a knife earlier..."
"Hey, what!?"
(All right, let's get rid of him)
"Oh, that! The man has already been caught by the escort, so it's really okay now. I was just... scared."
Because I can read the voice of my mind, I can avoid amateur attacks that I have contemplated attacking humans on the spot, even in my current physical abilities.
Still, it's pretty scary to say that you might get attacked.
Because I still don't have enough power to take down the guy who's coming at me.
"Right...... but I'm fine now. I'll protect you while Charles is in the king's capital."
(Never let anyone hurt my sister!
Ah......
The voice of your brother Cain's heart, who thinks of me, is so comforting. My heart pounds, so I love talking to your brother.
I never met your brother in Wang Du. So I didn't know that I would no longer be able to hear the human heart around me with the voice of your brother's heart.
I came to Wang Du patiently just because I can see your brother, but if this is a situation where all I can hear is your brother, I really think I can enjoy the festival.
"Thank you, brother. So let's go around the festival! It's been a long time, so we're going to have a day with you today, right?
That said, I pulled my brother's hand and ran out to the center of the festival where the stalls lined up.
