Episode 79.
Obviously, He didnât take his eyes off the entrance to the mansion. He didnât see the princess going out.
But as soon as morning came, the whole mansion was turned upside down, saying that the princess was not visible anywhere.
Yrmi thought he was going crazy.
âWhen the hell?â
He searched his memory. However, no matter how much he flipped over and scattered, there was no depth.
At that time, a colleague who was watching the back door of a mansion frequented by the servants made a careful announcement.
There was only a maid who covered her face with a cape among those who escaped through the back door the morning before.
âDonât tell me?â
Yrmi immediately asked for a close distance with his colleagues.
Then it was easy to get a sighting of a maid wearing a cape and carrying a large luggage bag.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âLuggage bagâ¦â¦ Oh, my God.â
Yrmi immediately informed the owner, his master and leader of the organization.
It was immediately informed to the master, through the magic tool on the personnel who needed to keep around the master.
And Yrmi then prepared for death.
âIt was not a bad life.â
He hasnât heard the news finding the princess yet. There was no confirmation that she was safe.
What if they miss her and couldnât find her? Or letâs say that they found her, but what if something happened between?
âMother, this cripple goes first.â
Yrmi wept, thinking of his mother, whom he broke up with as a child and now didnât even know where she was.
âPlease be safe, Princess⦠Why on earth did you leave? The Master only has you, Princess. The Master is very creepy to the extent itâs hard for you to live? Oh, so thatâs why you ran away? If your grown brother was too much thatâs itâs too disgustingâ¦â¦but heâs still handsome, so please take care of himâ¦â¦.â
Rmu suddenly felt it after lamenting up there along the stream of consciousness.
âHold on.â
Something was strange.
âAm I right to think about this for the first time?â
He felt a sense of deja vu that was hard to explain. Well, he meant, he didnât remember it, but it feels like he had repeated the same situation or thoughts.
âWhat is it?â Yrmi tilted his head.
And at the same time, Momezoa, a merchant who sells healthy vegetables at the corner of the capital, suddenly tilted his head.
âExcuse me, sir.â
âWhat?â
âDidnât I sell you broccoli, carrots and spinach last time?â
âItâs my first time today. Itâs my first time visiting this store in the first place.â
âReally? Thatâs weird. But why am I so used to it? I feel like Iâve been selling broccoli, carrots and spinach to you, again and again, selling again and again.â
âWhat a strange thing.â
Accordingly, the customer glanced at his head once and then left the store in a modest manner.
Merchant Momezoa mysteriously scratched the back of his head.
At the same moment, he had no idea that several people suffered similar symptoms at the opposite clothing store, the next tea house, and a family house.

Rustling Rustling-
The weeds on the feet reduced their size.
Sunlight came through the thick leaves. The sound of grasshoppers, the wind that touches the earlobes and hair.
The clearness of the deep forest seemed to clear my head.
On the other hand, the body was heavy and stretched after being overworked all day long. I got off the horse for a moment and walked with the reins to let the horse rest as much as I did.
I donât know how many times Iâve gone back the day to get here. The number of beads wasted was beyond count. No, I can count. But I donât want to count. I think Iâll be down if I know the exact number.
Slowly moved the weary steps. At first glance the path of the forest was straight, but the end was unseen.
Forest. Yeah, I was crossing the forest now. The northern forest.
I thought it would be hard to stand the cold at night, so I made my town-bought coat tightly. The reason why Iâm passing through this dense forest with horses was simple.
âThere was no way I could go to the west.â
I bet I have been to every village that can be reached in one day west. And in every village, I was captured by those Dark Knights without fail. It really was the same no matter which village I went to.
Out of the capital, I was just passing by the next village and then going to the next village, but they were always guarding the entrance as if they had promised.
I got caught trying to enter the village, or I got caught trying to get out of the village.
Later, I tried not to go through the village itself, but then I got caught on a carriage on the way from the village to the village.
I get caught like that then break the beads, get caught again and break themâ¦â¦.
By then I changed my mind when a similar situation was repeated, moving only little by little. I canât go west. Letâs give up and go east instead.
âBut the east wasnât much different.â
Sadly things were the same here and there. I repeated the same case again in the eastern village.
It was a wonderful thing. What are youâ¦â¦ theyâre not even a bug, theyâre a bunch of people, but they were everywhere I went.
No matter how many villages there throughout the capital, Dark Knights were dispensable everywhere, and honestly, I didnât think they would be this much.
âThe village around the empire seemed to be surrounded already.â
Perhaps as soon as they heard the order, they collected the personnel as much as possible and replenished them first.
I couldnât get rid of them anyway.
Attempts to sneak out in disguise and cover my face, or to break through, have repeatedly failed. The mask was only removed, and the make-up could not fool them. I was even the mercenary to cause armed conflict and try to escape, but I was caught by a hairâs breadth.
The only thing that changed as many attempts were made was the number of marbles decreased.
Thanks to it, I made a movie. The title is . Anyway, in the end, I gave up so much to the west and the east.
To be honest, I wanted to let go of everything by then. The remaining options were also terrible. Going south with suicidal feelings, heading north with desperation, or just not moving like this.
Whatever I chose, it didnât seem to have any hope.
âThen I chose to go north.â
I had a dream when my motivation went down and fell asleep instead of just going out of the inn.
Ash visited in the dream. He smiled, held my hands, whispered my name, looking at me with an affectionate gaze that would never happen again in the world.
As soon as I woke up from my dream, I cried for a long time.
Then I changed my costume again and headed north with my luggage. It was in the direction of my last hope.
There is a forest about two days away by carriage. It was a vast forest that might take days to cross.
I thought something would happen if I went there. If only I could cross the forestâ¦â¦ No, letâs not think about it. For now, entering the forest itself was a problem, but I decided to go and think about it. I just went to the north village like that andâ¦â¦.
âHey, hold on a second.â
I bumped into a person there.
âYouâre the princess, arenât you? What are you doing here? Thatâs what with that outfit.â
A neat, wrinkled brown robe that still comes down to the ankles.
The real wizard, dressed like the magicianâs classic costume, had met me.
In the village I encountered by chance, she happily pretended to know me.
âDo you remember me? I have seen you for a while in the territory before, by the next of the Crown Prince.â
âAhâ¦â¦â
âI didnât even say hello back then, but Iâm seeing you here again. I came to this town to meet a friend â well, I donât think youâre curious, but can I ask you a simple question?â
Her eyes turned to the suitcase I was carrying.
âAre you running away? Well, the luggage looks too heavy for a night trip.â
I thought the last luggage was too suspicious, so I changed it at the capital, but is it still suspicious?
She continued when I was genuinely sceptical of my senses.
âCan I help you?â
âWhat?â
âNo, Iâll help you. If itâs correct that youâre running away.â
ââ¦â¦why?â
The wizard smiled with her orange-eyed figure resembling the sunset.
âEum, grumpyâ¦?
ââ¦..?â
âI think the result was decided anyway, but the arm is bent inside (E/n: Meaning: âNo matter who the person is, they will always favour the people closest to them). Since the person is struggling with a broken heart so I want the other party to feel anxious and troubled. Oh, itâs not for the princess.â
I couldnât understand exactly what she meant, but then she really helped me.
âItâs face-changing magic. Itâs also called reverse magic. While the magic is on, it will make you look like a completely different person.â
ââ¦â¦â
âThe effect will be about a day and a half.â
âIs that all youâre going to do?â
I knew magic would be more amazing. The wizard laughed.
âI say it with my mouth, but this magic is also amazing. Would you not know if I used it on me, because the magic that is cast on others wasnât too effective.â
ââ¦â¦ Aha.â
âThatâs why Iâm keeping this much effect, usuallyâ¦..and half a day at best?â
âI see.â
âItâs more than you thought. Well, I donât know if magic is more advanced than now and the principle becomes simpler and the efficiency increases⦠So actually, my dream is to build a tower that consists only of wizards. To study magic, discover talent, and continue to develop magic over time⦠Oh, thatâs enough of an uninteresting story. Anyway, I hope my help is useful. If the opportunity arrives, it will be pleasant to meet you again. Even though youâre wearing a manâs attire and a wig, youâre still a beautiful princess..â
