Chapter 75 - 10: The King’s Suspicion
Midnight in Lion King City was quiet. Almost all the shops had closed, and the streets were already void of pedestrians.
A drunken man staggered out of a tavern with a bottle in hand. He walked to the wall, loosened his belt, and began urinating carelessly while whistling.
"Pop." Just a short distance behind him, a pair of petite boots landed on the ground.
"Hey, you drunk!"
"Hmm?"
"I’m talking to you!"
The drunk turned around and saw Vivian standing at a distance. She was wearing a long red dress, her cloak draped over her shoulders, watching him with a blank expression.
The smile on the drunk’s face gradually grew strange: "Well, hello there, little miss?"
He hurriedly finished urinating and pulled up his pants.
Vivian stood silently, her expression unchanged, still watching him.
"It’s too late for a kid to be wandering alone on the streets, you know. Even if it’s not dangerous, won’t you catch a cold? How about letting Uncle take you home? Uncle’s bed is big and comfy, you know." The drunk rubbed his hands together and started walking toward Vivian.
