Chapter 183
I Felt That Something Was Wrong
“Still…something feels strange… While there are several wagons, I don’t sense the presence of many people…”
Obviously, the wagons were drawn by horses, so there should be drivers.
And yet, there weren’t enough people to drive all of them… Unless they were inside of the wagons?
“So, how are the grapes? Have they grown well?”
“Hmm, ah, yes. They are quite fine.”
“But, this is the second time that the usual merchant hasn’t come. Did something happen?”
“In-indeed. He was busy with a different matter, and so I had to come this time as well.”
The person who Mr. Hannes was speaking to was likely the merchant we were talking about…
According to him, the other merchant was merely too busy.
And he had been paid to take his place and deliver the grapes.
While I was watching them from far away, there was something vague about the way he answered the questions.
