"Hey! What are you doing? We're on our way. Let's go."
"Ah, I'm coming out! I'm sorry, Mr. Lana. The road is narrow in front of the bridge, and once we get here, we have to cross it back. I'll be back when I get out of the big place, so just give me a second to get off."
Turning blindly, a man in a wagon loaded with lots of loads, probably going across the river, raised his voice behind him. Behind it, there was a fine carriage that probably belonged to the aristocrats, and there was a light traffic jam due to our carriage stopping.
Then I reacted to the person who had been in sight for a moment and hurriedly turned to the front.
"Hmm? What's wrong?
"No, it's nothing."
Our carriage moved slowly and the traffic was quickly cleared.
At this time, it is good to cross the bridge, but I would like to check again. But if you look back over and over again, you'll feel weird. I could only see a glitter, but the man in the fine carriage behind me, isn't that the servant of the Findley family?
Ah... yes, I was stupid not to think that Evan was so close to my house because he went to our hotel every day.
Didn't Singh tell you to get off the carriage because he knew about it?
"Ah, you haven't answered that question yet. My employer is Count Calvani. The people in the mansion around here are all good nobles. The Knights' Captain Findley's Mansion is halfway there, but it's not scary enough to talk to you, is it?
"Count Calvani?
You're kidding, my friend Maria Calvani's house? Speaking of which, I've always had people come to my house, and I've never been to her house.
And as I expected, there's Evan's house. I'm sure if we get close, we'll soon know which mansion.
Even if you go to the same place, depending on the route, the view is so different. Next time, I think we should check the location on the map. I remember the geography within walking distance of the inn, but I don't even know which part of King's City it is.
"Hey, Findley... is that really him?
"Yes, he is the son of the Count of Findley. I used to go there every day, so I should have known the house was close. By now, he will be in the royal palace as a close associate of His Majesty's, so I don't think we'll be able to make it together by accident."
"I thought maybe, but was it really...? From what the owner looks like, he also knows about Count Calvani. Is he harmless?
Thin has a good look at me. I can't hide anything from him. Soon you'll realize that I'm a noble daughter.
Or are you just pretending you don't know?
"It's okay. I knew I'd buy flowers at Kevin's. I also met my parents. Isn't that right, Sin?"
"If you say you're okay, well, I'll just follow you. If it's not dangerous, let's go as planned."
Well, then, I guess we should head straight to Master Calvani's mansion.
Yes, please, Kevin.
The carriage ran along a path followed by tall buildings, and as soon as it took the halfway road to the right, it entered an area lined with gardened mansions. Beyond the iron fence are lined with conifers for blindfolding, and this is the garden, and there is a mansion in the back.
And I found it immediately. Evan's house hasn't been here for years, but as always, the garden was perfectly maintained.
Lana, this is the Knight Captain's Mansion.
Yeah, I know.
The carriage that was running behind us stopped there once. And when the gate opened, he went to the mansion through a beautifully laid cobblestone passage, and the sound of the horse's hooves was loud, and he went inside. I didn't look back, but I could somehow predict the sound.
"Did Kevin come to buy our rice balls on his way home from the flower delivery? So, have you been walking this distance to buy it since you stopped selling it in the morning?
"Haha, you think it's far, don't you? But there's a short cut to the inn on foot. So I'm fine."
Our neighborhood is built like a maze of tall buildings, designed to make it difficult for enemy soldiers to reach the royal palace near the center of the city when fighting.
And on the first floor of the building, there's a big door over here, which is usually open and free to go through.
Kevin seems to know how to use it to get to the inn as quickly as possible. I've always wanted to learn the way out, but for safety reasons, we'd better walk on the bustling streets. But I don't think there's any harm in knowing it as an escape route when something happens.
"Hey, you don't want to know the back way."
"Huh? Well, a little bit. There's no harm in knowing it for some reason."
"Well, maybe it's better to know than not to know... Well, I'll tell you next time, but don't use it except in an emergency when you're alone."
"No, really? I thought Singh would never tell me because it was dangerous. Thank you."
Sin smiled at me with a smile on his face, and I laughed back at him.
Suddenly, Kevin, who suddenly entered the two worlds, coughed up his exaggeration and told him that he had arrived at his destination, breaking the air between the two staring at each other.
"Here we are. This is the home of Count Calvani, who is taking care of me. Nice, isn't it?"
"Yes, it's very nice."
I came to my friend's house for the first time, but I felt guilty about coming in with a false identity. She's a popular girl, so she's invited to a tea party somewhere on her holiday, and she's probably not here.
When the gate opened, the wagon slowly proceeded inside, turning behind it, not towards the mansion, and stopped in front of the all-glass greenhouse.
"Master, I brought you here."
Kevin stepped out of the carriage and connected the horses, and without hesitation entered the greenhouse.
"A splendid greenhouse... how much do you sell a flower that you've borrowed and raised here...?
"Normally speaking, it would be quite expensive. Unless you're borrowing this for free."
