Chapter 66: Phantom Thief Dauphin (10). Reunion Beneath the Waxing Moon
The citizens of Lebruk gathered day after day, gossiping about the phantom thief Dauphin.
“There haven’t been any warning letters from Dauphin lately.”
“He failed once, didn’t he? Maybe he’s lying low now. Last time he just failed and got away, but next time he might actually get caught.”
“There are quite a few nobles who want his head. If he ever gets caught, I doubt he’ll die peacefully.”
“Haa... I guess it can’t be helped...”
People thought Dauphin would never appear again.
Until now, his targets had all been helpless against him, so there’d been no real problem. But now, someone had appeared who could actually stand against him.
Besides, with Dauphin’s habit of returning all the stolen goods to the victims, his crimes never really brought him any personal gain.
And now that those fruitless efforts came with enormous risks? It made sense to believe he had no reason to show up anymore.
But Dauphin shattered those expectations without the slightest hesitation.
“Dauphin! There’s a warning letter from Dauphin in the square!”
“H-He’s back!? Who’s the target this time? Another tax official?”
