Surprisingly, the princess complied with my words.
Why?
Let’s look at the princess with an expression that asks, “What the hell am I doing?”
Alice also looked like she was looking at a crazy person.
She immediately came to her senses, made herself look like this, and asked about her next plans.
“So… What are you planning to do? You didn’t make something like this without any plan, right?”
“First of all, there are a lot of problems with doing this, but I met the minimum.”
“What more needs to be done?”
“Princess. Has anyone ever gone on a secret retreat? Or do you do it yourself?”
“My brother, the 1st prince, once went out.”
“Then what were the results then?”
“I said it was okay. It wasn’t perfect, but it was still satisfactory.”
“And… What is the result?”
“… ”
The princess remained silent without saying anything.
I could understand without saying anything.
And you probably have these thoughts about the matter.
I judged it to be normal, but I missed something.
Their plan itself must have been wrong.
However, if you think about the setting of the 1st prince that appears in WFS (his actual whereabouts were incompetent due to the production team’s intelligence issues).
It is true that he is a capable person.
What I missed was a setting that didn’t even appear in WFS.
I guess my thoughts are right.
I explained the truth to the princess.
“Princess. Do you think that His Highness the 1st Prince missed something or that you two made a wrong plan?”
The princess looked surprised when she heard those words.
An expression that wants someone to defend something or point out a problem.
“It’s not that there were no problems. But the problem the princess thinks is probably different.”
“Then what was the problem?”
“The problem is that the prince went to the temple. To do this, you have to give something like a magic tool to a beggar and then go to the temple.”
“Why?”
“High-ranking people… all. It’s obvious. In terms of hair, skin, height, bone structure, etc., they are definitely not people from poor places.
Does that person look poor in clothes? This is two things. Either they left the temple, or someone high up came to hide in secret.”
“In both cases, it would be difficult to become friends.”
“Right now, the princess has the body that women want. Go in when you go in and come out when you come out. There are very few people like this in the slums.
The fat is lost before it reaches the chest. The nutrients are also unbalanced, so it all goes to your stomach. It’s not that he’s obese, but he’s thin and his belly sticks out.”
“Stop it. I don’t want to hear that.”
“to.”
I told him not to do it, so I continued to explain.
“That’s why I told you to dress up as a beggar. If it were dirty, would high-ranking people have done such a thing? And then I pass it on.”
“That certainly makes sense.”
“Of course, because it is an ingrained habit, if you look closely, you will notice it. Even the way you speak.”
“Then let’s use informal language temporarily.”
“There is no need for that. Because of our size and body shape, if you look closely, you can see everything, so you can just leave it alone. The reason I changed my appearance like this was to attract less attention.”
“Then what.”
The princess and I walked down the street slowly.
Fortunately, unlike before, the number of eyes watching us has decreased significantly.
Since the results were satisfactory, I told the princess what she could do here.
“There is a gold and silver room here. Would you like to stop by and take a look?”
“Gold and Silver Room? Do you have money?”
“I have 1 million baht that Professor Maximilian gave me earlier.”
“Can you buy something with that?”
“It’s usually cheap here. And there are ways.”
“The fact that the jewelry here is cheap means that there are a lot of fakes.”
“No. It’s a real gem. It is mainly purchased by people living in slums for tax evasion or tax avoidance.”
“Then are you going to put pressure on the Gold and Silver Bank with something like that?”
“I can’t pressure you. It’s not particularly illegal under imperial law. How do I know if a customer’s funds are illegal? Of course, I do it because I know everything.
And if we’re going to catch them, we have to catch those who evade taxes. Gold and silver can be purchased legally from a goldsmith with money.”
“Hmm… It certainly makes sense.”
“Of course, they are bad guys. Because they are the ones who don’t report it on purpose.
Even if they don’t know about other departments in the empire, they know about them because they have direct contact with them, so they will probably be caught as involved. If you just don’t know, the problem is that there is no solution.”
This world has its own established principles of abolishing the crime of association and presumption of innocence.
The reason is simple.
With that, the nobles slandered each other so much that the pre-war emperor made it so that it was not a crime without direct physical evidence.
The emperor’s logic was that even if it was concealed anyway, it could not be completely eliminated as the testimony existed.
Actually, it’s true.
By a person who thought that if he got rid of witnesses, he would be next.
Because internal reporting will break out.
The princess and I headed to a secluded gold and silver room.
There was tight security around.
The atmosphere was harsh.
The sense of difference with the surrounding commercial districts was worse than before we had dirt on our bodies.
They didn’t really stop us like that.
The inside was the same as it looked from the outside.
A look full of splendor.
A landscape that contrasts perfectly with the miserable slums.
In such a state, the princess Alice Tantalota’s eyes were sparkling.
“Is this your first time in this place?”
“There are a lot of people who give me gifts. This is my first time coming here in person.”
“Then choose what you want. I’ll buy you at least one.”
“I’m saying this as if I were being generous. Wasn’t that money actually given to you by Professor Maximilian?”
“That’s right.”
“Then why are you showing off?”
“It’s right to buy it.”
“I don’t really have anything to say.”
And the princess picks up an item that seems suitable.
It wasn’t that expensive an item. I picked it up after knowing it.
Cinderella, who doesn’t know anything about the world of romance or fairy tales, will die in less than 5 minutes in this world.
It seemed a bit out of character to be worthy of dignity.
“Oh? You want to buy it for your girlfriend.”
“If you call me your girlfriend, she might get angry.”
“What do you think will happen in the future? First of all, the price of this item is 3 million baht.”
“Good. Then how much is this?”
“This is 6.7 million baht.”
“This is… ”
“12,165,300 baht… ”
“This… ”
“… ”
I call out various things and ask for the price.
In general, it is normal to be suspicious when things get to this level.
But the owner never suspected us.
The princess is the princess.
Even if you roll in the mud a few times, the fine growth will not disappear.
‘They’ll probably think that since they’re on the run, they’ll cash out quickly.’
In my opinion, the two of us are escaping from love.
That’s why he seems to think he can’t be called his girlfriend.
The expression was that of someone looking at something fresh.
“Do you want to buy all of this? In total, it is 31.45 million baht.”
“Yes. I will buy it.”
I immediately picked up all the jewelry and put them away.
And just one. The princess chose what she chose and chose it herself.
The idea was to act as if they were lovers to arouse less suspicion.
The princess seemed embarrassed.
Then he took out a piece of string and threaded the ornaments together.
Accessories connected in one line.
The jewelry string was wrapped around the body so that the jewelry could be seen all over the body.
It was the owner of the gold and silver room who expressed doubts about such behavior.
He just assumed it was so and asked me about payment.
“Customer So, how do you pay? ”
And before the words are finished.
I held the princess’s hand with my right hand.
I spread my left palm against one wall.
And then…
Kwaangㅡ
As it was, a qigong wave was fired.
Aura eruption is a repulsive force that pushes away all things. Therefore, when using a powerful eruption momentarily, the target can be destroyed like this.
However, since that alone was not enough, I used Auror attire.
I wrap the aura around my hand and shoot the aura.
The attack using the same principle as sword energy succeeded in destroying the wall.
In such a situation of chaos.
My hand was directly connected to Princess Alice.
I held the princess in my princess embrace and cast Chuno.
“Hey, catch those guys!!!”
“Catch it!!!”
“Shoot the sword! Cut off my leg, do something, somehow… !”
However, none of their attacks were fired.
The guards noticed my trap.
The accessories I had purchased were wrapped around my body.
They made the guards lose their fighting spirit.
“Hahaha! If you attack me with a ranged attack, the accessories will be broken!! You wouldn’t want to be asked for money while working as a security guard to make money, right!?”
“What kind of method is this?! No, it doesn’t matter if I do it this way–”
“Please wait a moment, Alice. I’m in a hurry now!”
“Noㅡ”
What matters now is speed.
We have to speed up and somehow beat them.
Fortunately, there was no one among the guards who could reach the Auror Swell and use Auror enhancement.
If you think about it, it’s natural. If you strengthen your Auror skills, you could become a general within 10 years just by joining the Imperial Army.
There’s no way he could possibly be in charge of slum security.
“Now, catch it! I won’t say anything even if my jewelry breaks… !”
The owner tried to catch me somehow.
Of course they never heard this.
Even if you get fired from security, you can still find another job.
Who wouldn’t know that, based on common sense, there is no way the owners of the Gold and Silver Room would not hold them accountable?
Working in this slum.
So the guards eventually went beyond a certain amount of time and returned, saying it was not their area.
We were able to escape safely.
After confirming that I have shaken off the chase, I enter an appropriate alley.
After confirming that there is no one around, I slowly put the accessories wrapped around my body into my bag.
The princess seemed to have difficulty understanding the situation that happened so quickly.
A lot of money was made through jewelry.
Even 1 million baht was still in my hand.
Alice came to her senses a little later and asked me.
“So what are you going to do now? Are you going to get out of the slums like this?”
Because what I was doing was so outrageous.
The princess showed wisdom by not asking the motive, but asking the method.
But anyone can easily predict that level.
“No? Then, eventually, the rumor will spread and you will be caught. It might even be discovered that we are nobles.”
“!? Then shouldn’t it have been done? But why is it like that?”
“There is a way for everything. Please wait. It will appear soon.”
There are all ways.
It is impossible to catch a big fish right away.
If you want to benefit, you must also know how to wait.
Until the benefits come of their own.
The peace that came that way.
When the owner of the gold and silver room disappears and others lose interest in us.
“They hid it because they were covered in mud, but they were two people with big booties… You guys, right?”
The police showed up.
They immediately arrested us.
“Huh? What is this… ?”
The princess seemed embarrassed.
“Ahaha. I caught this and threw it away.”
“What kind of bullshit reaction is this?”
Due to my amazing performance, the princess was arrested by the police without much resistance.
========
“So who are you guys? Don’t you tell me your name?”
The police caught us and took us to the police station.
The princess and I had previously covered our faces with mud, so no one recognized our faces.
Of course, if I told you my real name here, it would be obvious that you wouldn’t believe me.
“So you won’t tell me who it is? Unfortunately, if you don’t have ID, you’re in trouble. In slums, just not having an ID can be a problem.”
It is a law that no one obeys.
Although it is to prevent crime. The police came up with a miracle law that was only used when the rich were in trouble.
I have something to prove my identity. All you have to do is bring Professor Maximilian Wilhelm with you.
But that is not a standard solution to slums.
That’s why I decided to use the standard solution for slums.
“Are you going to prove your identity? There is that.”
“Show me.”
I take out an envelope from my pocket.
Nothing much. It was just a plain white envelope.
The officer picks up the bag, removes the wax wrapping, and looks inside.
When I looked to the side, I saw that the princess was trembling.
It seemed like it was because it was my first time being arrested by the police.
The police officer didn’t pay much attention to the princess.
They probably thought he was just a criminal.
“Hmm. This… ?”
When the officer turned the envelope over.
Tukㅡ
Inside the envelope, a check for 1 million baht given by Professor Maximilian fell to the desk.
The princess is embarrassed by that sight.
Me smiling.
And when the officer realized my intention, he smiled wickedly.
The officer who saw this put the check into his shirt pocket with unfocused eyes.
I also didn’t forget to whistle.
The officer suddenly looked into space and opened his mouth.
“Yes. His name is Jack. Gender: female. You are 57 years old, right? Are you ready to go to jail now, Jack?”
Even just looking at the strange sight, the princess’s face was filled with embarrassment.
“Where are you talking about?”
“Ah. There’s someone here who bought something but didn’t pay for it. But why are you here? Entry is prohibited here except for authorized personnel. Get out quickly!”
“Oh my. sorry. You made a big mistake. It’s nice to see you working hard. I hope your future is bright.”
“Thank you for the kind words, friend. Take good care of your girlfriend too. Because the two of them get along really well.”
“Yes. All right. Hahaha.”
“Hahaha. Please stay healthy and don’t come back here again!”
“Yes. Hahaha!”
“Hahaha!”
When the situation reached this point, Princess Alice was able to sense what state she was in.
It’s a relief to know that there won’t be any problems in the first place.
After that, I felt guilty wondering if it was okay to do this.
In the end, his expression revealed his bewilderment towards me, the cause of this phenomenon.
I’m not normally a person who shows facial expressions like this.
Anyway, Princess Alice and I were able to leave the police station safely.
I said this to Alice who came out.
“I told you, right? 1 million baht is enough?”
Alice seemed dumbfounded and just glared at me.
thank god. Because I don’t think I’ll file a complaint.
What if Princess Alice wants to report this?
I was going to say that I did this to show corruption, and I was going to pay the money normally.
Since you don’t seem to be doing it, this is mine.
While I was giggling like that.
The princess spoke to me as if she had made a promise.
“If my brother becomes emperor… We must eradicate corruption.”
I think I touched something wrong.
It has nothing to do with me, right?
