Chapter 131: Again Inside the Anderson Dukedom’s Residence
"Since my hips feel lighter now, shall we go on patrol?"I stood up and stretched, and Lily said with suspicion,
"Huh? You’re unusually energetic today, aren’t you?"
"Energy? Isn’t this how I always am?"
"Is that so? Last time you were more sluggish and clingy, weren’t you? There were times when you wouldn’t let go of my chest."
"Well, I’m just a very sensitive ten-year-old!"
"You sound like an old man, though."
"Never mind. Let’s go!"
I leaped to the next roof with a boing! and then jumped boing! boing! until we reached a spot where we could see the noble district.
"Has the security team already left?"
"They should be. Of course not Captain Copeland’s unit."
"If I follow the security team, will we run into thieves?"
"Let’s not do that. I think it will only make things more complicated if Prince Robin appears."
"Why?"
"Because if we show up while the security team and thieves are fighting, the thieves might think we’re something else. How are we supposed to explain who we are if the captain doesn’t know us?"
"That makes sense. We don’t even have a royal warrant."
"In that case, they might arrest us. If things get bad, they might even kill us. That would be no good, right?"
"It would be."
"Then it’s better not to show ourselves unnecessarily."
"Got it. Then I’ll just wander around and go back to my room."
"You haven’t visited the Rosette Countess’s residence for a while, have you?"
"I met her at Mother’s tea party yesterday."
Since I’d just cut someone yesterday and was still buzzing from it, I couldn’t say I wasn’t going out.
"Then let’s wander around the area near the Rosette Countess’s residence?"
"All right. Let’s at least go in front of it."
"I see..."
Lily seemed to have something on her mind but didn’t push it.
We leaped over the wall and walked casually in front of the Anderson Dukedom mansion. Lily stopped me.
"Lord Robby, do you sense it?"
