Royal Princess Of Blood

Chapter 30: Undesirable Encounter

Now then, how to mend the situation?

I just left the shop and I was contemplating how to handle my dear brother. I can already imagine him panicking as he searched for me. He must be in despair realizing his failure to guard me and how he lost me.

Perhaps he might even be confused as to why I vanished.

What role should I take?

Maybe I should take the role of being a stubborn and obstinate girl and leave the spot where I should be since I found something interesting. Should I begin to rebel a bit? Perhaps, hm. But most importantly, I should be utterly apologetic.

I touched the sling bag.

I should hide it under the cloak but...

I had to take off the hood of the cloak to put it over my shoulder. But of course I don't really need to do that.

I took off the bag that was over my cloak and then hung it by my right shoulder. The sling bag hung straight towards the ground from my shoulder. A bit inconvenient for me, but it will work. I pulled my cloak to conceal myself even more along with the bag.

It was ideal not to reveal I had this bag, but if it was to end up being discovered, oh well... I'll manage.

Alright, I hope you're still at the plaza, dear brother.

He could be searching for me, so there was a chance that he was no longer at the plaza and was searching for me all around. But it would be troublesome to find him, especially when I am personally unfamiliar with the city.

Perhaps you were wondering if I could go home on my own. Of course I can, what am I? A five year old?

I've memorised every route I have taken, so I could just use the route I used earlier to return where I was to begin with. In addition, as long as I know the direction of where the palace was, I will be completely fine.

I'm not gonna get lost, if I did, then my lifetime of training was put to complete waste.

As I went on to return to the plaza, my footsteps were rushed since it wouldn't do good to take long. Of course not too fast since I don't want any attention to myself. I already did something unplanned at the blacksmith shop, I don't want to anymore.

I have another problem left that was my dear brother.

I don't want him to go calling the knights now to find me. But I imagine he wouldn't do that immediately since it was his responsibility to watch over me. And failing that would be a disappointment, not just to everyone, but most importantly to father and mother.

If we were to meet father and mother later, I have to tell my brother to keep everything a secret before that. I just hope he agrees, which I was seven five percent sure. Well, let's just see how everything goes.

The most important thing was that I already have my precious daggers.

Just then, I instinctively froze in my tracks. My heart beat fast as I immediately went on high alert. A chilling wind just went around me, this was no normal wind. I was surrounded by different buildings, and this type of cold wind was different, and its movements were circling me.

"Princess of Blood."

I instantly sneaked my hand into my bag when I heard that voice. Dammit, it was out of the blue. The daggers were wrapped in cloth and at the bottom of the bag. It would be stupid to take them out now, then I just had to take the dagger from the box.

I immediately turned to look at the source of that sound.

There in a small alley by the road, a man in dark clothing covered in robes from head to toe, but I could see his face. It was a man in his forties, his amber eyes stared at me, his dark hair blended with the faint dark fog that surrounded him.
