Chapter 222: Going to School! (2)
“Have you seen a child with black hair? About this tall?” Tywin asked around about Naru and her sisters’ whereabouts.In Freesia, Naru’s black hair was a distinctive trait that easily caught people’s attention.
“Black hair? You mean those little ladies who often wander around here? I saw them getting into a carriage heading outside the city with some people earlier.”
Thanks to her training from Cariote, Tywin’s investigation was precise and efficient. She quickly pieced together where the children were headed.
“They got into a carriage heading outside the city?”
It was now 8 AM.With the entrance exam starting at 10 AM, there were about 2 hours remaining.Though she wasn’t sure why the children left the city, there was a risk they’d be late for the exam, so Tywin decided to put her skills to use.
“I didn’t want to expend energy this early in the morning.”
Pat— Tadat— Tat—Following Salome’s teachings, Tywin nimbly climbed up to the roof using nearby walls and windows.Her movements were so graceful and acrobatic that they drew everyone’s attention.
“Look at that child.”“She’s so pretty. Is she a princess?”“What is she trying to do up on the roof?”
