Chapter 63: Phantom Thief Dauphin (7). A Thief’s Day Off, A Guard’s Day Off
“Did you hear? Apparently, Dauphin failed to punish his target for the first time.”
“Hmm... that’s a little disappointing. I guess everything had gone too smoothly until now.”
“You don’t think he’ll get caught, do you? There are still so many scumbags out there who need to be punished!”
In the bustling streets of Lebruk, a man walked quietly.
He looked completely unremarkable.
So much so that if someone were to stop a passerby and ask, “Can you describe the man who just walked by?”—no one would be able to give a proper answer.
Which made sense, since the disguise had been designed to avoid attention.
[Hahaha! Everyone’s buzzing about your failure. You haven’t even been caught, but still—doesn’t that sting a little? Hmm?]
From within the man’s shadow, the high demon cackled, mocking him.
Lucidra, who had just returned to the Crown Prince’s side after slaving away day and night to pay off a lost wager, was quite pleased to find things in such a state.
After all, failure hits hardest for those who’ve never tasted it before.
The Crown Prince, who had always handled everything easily thanks to his remarkable talent, had failed to achieve his goal for the first time. How sweet that must taste!
