Chapter 297 – 11. Recognition of Prince Oberon

Guided by Oberon, Stelgia and I followed him. When Oberon’s eyes met Stelgia’s, she turned to her for a very brief moment, but she glanced at me, then looked in front of her again and guided her down the street. Arrived at

“Hwang, Lord Baron!”

Bang with Oberon’s guidance, “Here it is!” A black-haired woman jumped out of the wooden door and ran frantically towards us. The woman who hugged Oberon with a name that seemed to be a very convenient pseudonym no matter how many times she heard it opened her ax eye and glared at us, but she relaxed at her small hand patting her shoulder and stood next to Oberon. .

“Stop, it’s because I couldn’t hold back and got out, so don’t blame them.”

“But, if they show up again… !!!”

“Write.”

With a rather cute warning, Oberon’s eyes turned to her woman, and the woman, who bit her lip, took a step back, and the situation was over for her. She tilted her head at the woman who suddenly jumped out, then Stelgia quietly whispered, hiding behind her behind my back.

“Lilia… “

“Ah, Stelgia. This year!”

Tup, whenever I backed off, Lilia, the woman who jumped out like her bullets, came running toward me. Frightened by her ferocious charge, I raised her arm and blocked her with her elbow, and Lilia, who in an instant closed her distance, saw her stop her and kicked her tongue. She retreated to her prince’s side again.

“Let’s see later, return the favor with an enemy?”

“A scary year… !”

Stelgia grabbed my shoulder and cursed at Lilia. Lilia, furious at the cute swear words, glared at us again, but Stelgia, who had already hidden herself, disappeared behind my back, and eventually we were stopped by the prince’s restraint. It ended the useless scuffle.

“Stop, stop. Let’s go back to the inn first, whoa- Even though it’s almost evening, I’m dying from the heat, but how are you guys so full of energy?”

Oberon, wiping the sweat dripping from his forehead with a handkerchief, whispered with a condescending face. Realizing that the temperature was more than the cool mountain temperature, I asked the prince with a slightly uneasy feeling on my face.

“Did the prince come to Verba right away?”

“Huh? Oh yes. We just arrived too. Whoa, hurry up and wash up, Sir Cassano couldn’t even wash because he came early in the morning-“

“Oh, then let’s wash together.”

As Oberon said, I came down the mountain range in the morning and there were some things that made me feel uncomfortable, so I wanted to wash quickly, but seeing Oberon sweating and hot, I felt considerate and smiled at him and offered to wash together. However, the moment I invited them to wash together, the atmosphere suddenly began to flow strangely.

“Yes?”

Flinch, flinch, Oberon’s tall nose trembled and the tips of his ears turned a little red. As Oberon shook his head lightly, the golden necklace on his neck shook, and it was quite hot at the sight of him.

“The prince has a task to solve! The prince is most considerate, but wash first!”

“Yeah, yes, there is someone in a hurry, so why is it necessary? Wash up Sir Cassano first.”

“Ah, I see.”

A frightened Oberon and a blood clot in his neck, Lilia, who stopped me, and I, a little disappointed by the strange atmosphere, took a step back and looked at the two.

No, would washing together be that scary? Nobles, no, royalty, so there must be something more like that. Just when I came to understand that I was born as a commoner, Lillia put something in my hand.

“This is the room key. It’s the leftmost room on the second floor, so you can stay there.”

“All right.”

She had a strangely short tone and a twitching nose, but she was clearly a stronger woman than me. I hated this kind of person once, but then I tried to step on them with courage, so I adapted and headed to the inn with Stelgia, who was stuck like a chewing gum.

“I was… “

Suddenly, the chewing gum fell off and my body felt lighter. I didn’t know that I was going to stay for a while on a topic that I was scared of just now, but I guessed that there was something to share, so I nodded and entered the wide open door.

“Whoa… “

Then, when I glanced back with a deep sigh, Oberon, who took out the golden necklace he had hidden in her chin and bosom, grabbed it strongly and muttered something, and our eyes met. Salang, Oberon, noticing my gaze, lightly shook her hand, put her necklace around her neck again, and gave up on the unknown action, I quietly went up to the second floor.

***

“Do you know that man?”

Stelgia stuck out her tongue making a strange noise and approached Oberon in a friendly way. Seeing that the wicked bitch approached the prince without hesitation, Lillia, who had bitten her teeth, pushed Stelgia’s chest one step ahead.

“Kyaaak!”

“Stop, stop! Lilia, stop it.”

There was no need to use a rigid tone even in front of her old relationship, so Oberon raised her hand to restrain Lilia and looked at Stelgia.

“Long time no see. How have you been?”

“Yes, what. It still looks the same.”

Oberon passed the praise with a fresh, uncomfortable smile and tried to move on to another topic, but Stelgia’s praise was a little faster.

“No, it might have been more beautiful.”

At the word “Beautiful,” Her purple and red eyes trembled. At Oberon’s agitation, Stelgia laughed and turned her body to greet the owner who might be in pain.

“I’ll go first~”

After a brief encounter, the two parted ways, and eyes filled with feeble worries followed Stelgia’s back, but Oberon, who soon shook off her feelings, patted the resentful Lilia on the back and headed to their room.

***

“Whoa… “

After a quick bath and hearty meal, I was standing right in front of the door of the next room. All I had to do was knock right away, but when I hesitated because I remembered the look in Oberon’s eyes I saw in front of the hostel, I heard a small voice from beyond the door.

[Whoops, Sir Cassano, what are you doing standing in front of the door?]

“Oh, sorry. I will go in now.”

When the four of us sat around dinner and finished dinner, I came by Oberon’s order to report on the work in the Hor Mountains, but Oberon called me back because I was idle. She didn’t know how she knew it was standing outside the door, but she noticed and couldn’t hold back.

-Kikkik, thump!

When I opened the old door and quickly closed it, Oberon, who was sitting in a chair, got up. Dressed in a pure white gown, he looked thin because he was one head shorter than me, but he had a solid physique.

Oberon, who turned his body around when he was curious about his heterogeneous body, approached me with a stride, and because of that, the necklace he wore around his neck shook once.

“Come on. I want to see and hear the story of Sir Cassano. Is it too much of a nuisance late at night?”

“No. It was resolved in the name of a test, so the prince has the right to listen to it at any time.”

“Haha, I see.”

The conversation was cut short with laughter. Just as I was about to sit down and start reporting, Oberon’s voice, which had subsided a little, stopped me.

“Ah, but before that, there’s something I want to tell you.”

“Please feel free to speak.”

Is it cut? Or one more thing? I wanted to avoid trouble, so my body stiffened, but my mouth comforted Oberon, telling me to talk comfortably.

“I casually said at that time that Sir Cassano was a man of another world, but now that I think about it, I wonder if she was being too rude.”

Are you the prince? I was taken aback by the more polite story than I thought, but I focused on the story again and tried to say something comforting, but I couldn’t say anything when I saw the eyes that were really sorry.

“So I’m taking this opportunity to ask for an apology from you.”

“No. It’s not really a big secret, and thanks to that, the prince took an interest in me, so it’s really okay.”

“Is that so… “

“Yes, I’ve never seen any other people from another world, so I think it’s useless information.”

“Haha, it’s not useless information, because all the other people I know are careful about hiding their identities.”

“Is that so.”

“Oh, no, sit down. It’s very rude to me to stand up for invited guests.”

“Then.”

I dragged the chair and sat down and immediately looked into the eyes of the seated Oberon. Spotless clear eyes, how good a person is, I gradually developed a crush on Oberon, but he is a man.

“Ah, then I will explain how to go up the mountain range first.”

“Hmm!”

Oberon smiled as if he was really happy with my report, and answered with a forceful reply. I immediately continued the story of falling into Hor Mountain and climbing the mountain range with Stelgia.

Climbing up slowly while slaughtering bandits, cutting down unsightly bastards who stumbled drunk, tying up so as not to kill indiscriminately, and searching the cabin, as a result, found slave ledgers and trade item certificates, etc., And knew the place, price, and even the merchant. Oberon was very happy at the point that he had made it, but his complexion was very white.

“I guessed, but the guys who run the slave market are getting bolder, it’s disgusting. But, thanks to you, Lord Cassano, I only managed to find one place, so it’s a really big harvest.”

“But are the coordinates written down by those rogue bandits the real coordinates?”

At my question, Oberon nodded her head as if he had expected it. Oberon, who was agonizing as she knocked on the table, talked to me calmly about her thoughts.

“Of course not. Just looking at the ledger, he traded with the same merchant every time. Occasionally there’s a new merchant’s name, but it can’t be real. However, he got a list and ledger that were accurately filled in, and he can follow the clues just by doing so, so it’s a great harvest.”

“Then I’m glad.”

“Slave traders, if only we could root out these disgusting bastards… Whoa, the traitors who disobey His Majesty’s orders, and those who call themselves slave liberators… “

Oberon muttered as he pounded the table alone. Slave Liberation Corps. I also hardened his face at the bitter words that lingered on the tip of his tongue.
