The streets of Wangdorinswell are gorgeous.

Of course, the streets of Delki City are shabby compared to the streets of the royal capital. In fact, it is like a facility attached to a frontline unit, so ‘luxurious things’ are not sold very often. That’s why I tried to get sugar directly through a merchant. It was for that reason.

In the case of the Grand Duchy of Grattenmount, the situation was much better, but compared to the royal capital, it was still on the plain side. By the time of Delkish, Grattonmount was also southern, but when viewed as a whole kingdom, it was closer to the northern, and the temperament of the people was also ‘glum northerners’. It was very close.

Well, the entire country is in the North, but if you look at it relatively speaking.

In addition, there are basically no polar nights or midnight nights in Rincewell. Of course, the days are extremely long in the summer and the nights are extremely long in the winter, but in any case, the day does not last all summer or the night lasts all winter. In that sense, The royal capital was at the southernmost tip of the kingdom, and to me it was the ‘South Central’.

Maybe that’s why people’s faces were relaxed. Could it be said that this is a city where the saying goes that the sun will rise tomorrow?

Honestly, I was a little worried.

As winter is coming to an end, I am slowly feeling it getting ‘warmer’, but the problem is that I have never felt this level of ‘warmth’ while living in the north. It’s not that I don’t know the feeling of heat due to memories of my past life, but I will never feel it in this life. I thought it was work.

If summer in the royal capital is the kind of summer I think it is, I might literally melt physically.

As I was thinking about this while walking with Amelia for a while in the warm sunlight,

“Over there.”

Amelia suddenly pointed to a place and said.

I have seen Amelia say that several times over the past few days.

Romance fantasy novels rarely show detailed maps like traditional fantasy. In most cases, descriptions of appearance were simply written.

Moreover, even when hair color was described as ‘blonde’, there were very few cases where the density of blond hair was written down.

Due to the nature of Korean web novels, blonde hair often refers to a brilliant golden color, but there was so much golden blonde hair in Dorinswell.

In the end, the only way for us to find the heroine, Adele, was to go all over the capital and check each and every thing in person.

The girl Amelia pointed to seemed to be around the same age as us, in her mid to late teens. She looked a little taller than Amelia, but was definitely shorter than me. Her skin was white, but she was healthier than me, who has albinism.

Her body may be a little worse than Amelia’s. In fact, it would be more accurate to say that Amelia’s body is ‘definite’.

“Look there. ‘Blonde hair, emerald eyes. Good eyes.’ Isn’t this pretty believable? Plus, her hair is tied back and her body looks strong.”

“He definitely has a more disciplined body than the kids we’ve looked at so far.”

Although she was wearing long sleeves and a long skirt, her movements were those of a trained person. It was not the frail gait where the slender body swayed that was common among noble daughters, but the confident strides of a knight.

In fact, his gait was so fast that the child, who had been quite close when we first found him, was already disappearing out of our sight in an instant. Even though there were still quite a few people walking around on the street to enjoy the short daylight, he was moving around easily among them and was busy walking. It was.

“Elsie, hurry!”

Amelia said that and quickened her pace, so I also increased my walking speed.

However, her ability to penetrate people was inferior to that of the girl walking in front of her. It was not because Amelia was particularly weak, but because the number of people walking on Royal Road was much larger than the number walking on Gratton Mount Highway, so she was not used to it.

I stood next to Amelia and gently grabbed her waist with my left arm and pulled her towards me.

“Oh.”

“Wait a minute.”

Then, I slightly pushed my body forward and carved a path through the people.

It wasn’t that difficult. The space between the people was much more dense than the space between the trees, but it didn’t have the hardness of the old-growth cypresses of the North. Some people glanced our way, but then they noticed the clothes we were wearing and the makeup on our faces, and they secretly averted their eyes. .

This is good if you carry yourself well as an aristocrat. Anyone can see that if you wear expensive clothes, expensive cosmetics, and expensive perfume, even people who don’t know what it is will recognize it to some extent.

This is especially true in this era where the difference in quality of goods is enormous.

“… … .”

Amelia must have understood my intention, so she placed her light body in my arms. Amelia had already mastered the basics of swordsmanship, so she seemed to have no trouble following my steps.

“Phew.”

I followed the girl for a while, taking Amelia with me, and finally came out to a deserted place.

When I looked around, what I saw was a huge mansion.

In fact, in terms of size, it was not comparable to Grattenmount Castle or Delchisi Castle, but most of the nobles staying here were probably nobles who were from their hometown. If not, they were ‘dispatched’ nobles like us.

No matter how wealthy a noble is, he or she must establish contacts with the royal capital. And the best contacts are blood-related family members. If a family cares about their clan, they will see events that occur in the royal capital and benefit their clan. I will look for the neighborhood and report back, and my hometown will be able to move accordingly.

At first, they were used as pawns to prevent rebellion by local nobles, but now they have become liaisons for mutual benefit.

The same goes for Amelia. Whether in the novel or in this world, the only children of the Grand Duke’s family are Amelia and her younger brother, Ted. Ted was still taking classes to become the next lord at Grattenmount Estate.

In the ‘original work’, Ted was also clearly the main male character, but in the novel I read, Ted was so much a younger brother that he listened to his older sister, so he could not be the main male character. He only appeared in the latter part of the work.

… … Anyway, there were some great mansions lined up here too, but they seemed rather small compared to the place Amelia and I were living in.

“… … .”

Amelia, who had barely escaped my arms, touched her clothes without saying a word. It seemed like she was tidying up her slightly disheveled clothes as she moved quickly in this direction.

I, who felt the warmth that did not disappear from my body even after Amelia fell, quickly followed her. Fortunately, I did not move too violently, so my clothes did not get wrinkled to the point where it would damage my reputation as a nobleman.

“… … Huh.”

Amelia cleared her throat once, then turned her head sharply and looked back. Then, looking at the path we had taken,

“I think it would be better not to use that distance in the future. Isn’t there a way around it? Not all the nobles in the capital always travel by carriage.”

Amelia said that while showing the back of her head towards me, so I shrugged my shoulders and said, even though I knew Amelia couldn’t see me.

“I’ll look for it next time, whatever.”

Still, I was able to make my voice sound the same as usual.

“Anyway, I think you’ll miss it if you don’t chase after it quickly.”

I looked back and said. The flowing blonde hair was already moving far away.

“That’s no problem. We know Adele’s last name.”

But Amelia turned towards me again and spoke confidently.

“The good thing about being a noble is that they show off a lot, right? Even if they are a common noble with no other title or a knightly family. Of course, the name of ‘Carlinth’ will be on the mansion gate.◦# ◦

*

And Amelia was right.

‘Carlin’s’ was plastered on the front door of the mansion.

In the novel, it was said, ‘It was a mansion, but if you looked closely, you could see that it was not properly maintained,’ and it certainly looked that way.

Rust and cracks were visible here and there, such as in the corners of the walls of the mansion and in areas where iron was used on the gate. It was noticeable that places that would have been neatly maintained if someone had been using them were unknowingly getting worn out.

downfall… … No, it was a family on the verge of collapse, so it was worth it.

“Then… … What should I do now?”

“Now that you know the location of the mansion, it would be better to retreat now. Let’s say we meet by chance while passing by later—”

“—Wait a minute, Amelia.”

I raised my hand and interrupted Amelia as she talked about her future plans. Although Amelia looked surprised, she immediately followed my instructions.

“… … You two, there’s something I’d like to ask you.”

The voice was heard from behind us.

When we slowly turned our heads, Adele, who we thought had entered the mansion first, was looking at us.

He looked a little angry.

“Sorry if I misunderstood, but could I ask why you followed me?”

… … Did he come and hide first?

I clicked my tongue.
