I've Been Reincarnated As A Dragon's Child

CHAPTER 16 : First Judgement 2

And...?

Why did I sat at the dining table with this Sherman guy? Wasn't he trying to eat me? Hurry up debone me...!

"I apologise for the rough treatment from my subordinates, Miss Aimer. Please help yourself. I will have my servant to prepare the best meal for you as an apology." - Sherman

Currently we are in the fabulous noble mansion that can be seen in any isekai manga.

I scan the food in front of me. No poison or drug whatsoever....

Itadakimasu..!!!!

Aimer..? Yes, that's me! I conveniently change my name in Appraisal status into Aimer using Camouflage. As if I will show you my real name!

Please forgive me, Aimer-san!!! (For those who ask me who Aimer is, go ask Mr. Google! He knows everything!)

Hey, Hakurei! How about those two idiots?

"Rest assured, my lady. They have done their job properly. The king is already being notified about that town." - Hakurei

"The said count will be arrived tomorrow. I guess, this guy, Sherman plans to use dark magic on you since that count has dark attribute." - Jungle Emperor

It's too damn slow! We had arrived since a week ago here and made preparation before meet this Sherman! Those two idiots are already spread the rumour. Super slow..!

"Calm down!" - Jungle Emperor

Forget it.... let's have our meal!

"Miss Aimer?" - Sherman

Uh ooh..! I carelessly ignore our guy!

"Y-yes?!"

He flashes a sweet smile seeing I stumbled my words.

"It's okay. Nothing to be afraid of. I just wanna ask about yourself." - Sherman

"About me?"

"Yes. Where do you come from? How can you meet my men? And..." - Sherman

"And?"

"N-nothing..! Please tell me about yourself, Miss Aimer." - Sherman cut the steak in front of him. Excuse me, didn't your mother tell you, not to tell your info to stranger?

"There's nothing interesting about me."

"I doubt that. A beautiful lady ended up in a forest alone. It intrigues me so much." - Sherman

Say beautiful one more time, please!

"My lady, before you said any further, I need to remind you that the ring on his pinky left finger is the lie detector." - Hakurei

Lie detector? That's so scientific! How does it work? Reading my pulse? Let's steal it later!

"My parents kept nagging at me at home." I'm not lying here. Both of them reeeaalllyyy didn't stop nagging! Especially Mother! 'Don't bully Roar!' 'Don't play with Father's stuff!' 'Don't jump into volcano!' Seriously, my ears are hurt!

"My brother is the pain in the ass!" You guys know how bothersome Naga is. His 'Officer, it's this guy!' face really gets on my nerves.

"Since all of them didn't stop bothering me, I kind of run away, you know." I can call this runaway since it's so boring to stay in palace. You can check on your ring, I didn't lie!

Sherman takes a glance at his finger and see no reaction from it. He gives a creepy smile, a waste on his good look.

"My parents put me into a dungeon (Crystal Dungeon) and beat (train) me everyday. They even lie to me (about their actual age). And my brother, almost killed me! Two times! But my parents didn't do anything! Can you believe it? That's why I run away." Smooth, right? I didn't lie at all!
