Book 3: Chapter 6
“Your highness, you may go out, but you must remember to return on time…”
Under the barrage of my ultimate Tai Chi attack (read: If you guys dare to follow me, I’ll kill myself), the imperial guards finally agreed to not follow us out. However, as they saw us off, the captain grabbed me by my arm and begged me like he was about to cry.
The guy was more annoying than my mom!

It looks like they just finished grilling a batch!!”
“Alright… But how is your nose so incredible…? Can we not use the buffs provided by the wind elves to blow the aroma over towards us?”
I smiled helplessly as Lucia pulled me over. The boss raised his head up to look at me, stopped moving, then revealed a smile and said: “Your highness, it has been a while. If my memory does me justice, the last time you came to buy this from me was a month ago.”
“Ah… Yeah… I left for a while.”
“You came back at a good time because the deer hunting festival is coming up. You will be participating will you not, your highness? I really anticipate the moment you successfully kill the deer!!”
“Oh… I haven’t made plans for that yet…”
