93.
Finally, the execution day was decided.
Until then, Pitt created simulations in his head and went over them several times.
He emphasized the scenario and conveyed it to Edel multiple times so he could memorize it.
“Your Highness, when leaving the palace, you must absolutely be quiet. You cannot be spotted by the guards at all costs.”
“Yes!”
“I understand you’re excited, but… please, I beg of you.”
Pitt also explained to Edel that this was a kind of role-playing game.
It was an appropriate explanation suited to his level.
“Your Highness, until you completely leave the palace, you are a servant working under me.”
“Yes!”
“And once we’re outside the palace… you are a young master from a noble family. You absolutely must not be discovered as a prince of the Carnon Empire.”
“Yes!”
Well, I’m not sure if he understood properly.
And so the execution day arrived.
Pitt dressed Edel in a shabby cloak he had prepared in advance and headed for the back gate.
Naturally, they encountered the gatekeepers guarding the back entrance.
“We’ll need to inspect you for a moment.”
However, the knights who recognized Pitt’s face immediately lowered their guard.
He was a well-known longtime palace servant and the prince’s secretary.
Pitt delivered the lines he had prepared to avoid suspicion.
“I hear there’s a dessert trending in the capital these days. His Highness heard about it and said he wanted to try it.”
The knights opened the gate without suspicion.
It was thanks to Edel’s ‘image.’
The gatekeepers had never really conversed with Edel, but they roughly knew what kind of personality he had.
‘Dessert… I see.’
In the knights’ eyes, Pitt was just a secretary dutifully serving the prince today as always.
Pitt realized his plan had succeeded.
He greeted them while passing through the gate with his usual expressionless face.
“You’re working hard today as well.”
“Not at all.”
The knights bowed respectfully.
Edel kept his head deeply lowered and chewed his lips with his front teeth.
‘Ugh, I want to talk! But Pitt told me to be quiet!’
Edel, who had been waiting until they escaped the Imperial Palace, finally stamped his feet and whispered.
“Pitt, Pitt!”
“Yes, Young Master.”
“You were really cool just now… You looked just like an infiltration agent from a novel.”
One of Pitt’s eyebrows slightly raised.
‘What exactly was cool about that?’
He had merely exchanged greetings with the gatekeepers.
Moreover, he didn’t have the mental capacity to play along with comparisons to infiltration agents from novels.
His mind was completely covered with worry.
He was wondering what to do now.
But Edel seemed oblivious to Pitt’s inner turmoil.
“No, no…! My heart was beating so hard I thought I’d die, but Pitt greeted the knights with such a nonchalant face! The knights were completely fooled by Pitt’s acting skills!”
Pitt habitually dabbed his forehead with his handkerchief.
“It’s just… the trust built up over the years.”
It was true.
Having worked in the palace for a long time, Pitt had built trust with the palace staff.
Even just now, they had let him through without thorough inspection based on that trust.
‘Trust…’
Pitt reflected on the word he had just spoken.
‘That trust built over all those years will crumble all at once the moment His Highness’s escape is discovered.’
Anyway, the goal was to go out quickly and return quickly.
“Wow, Pitt…! Look over there!”
Though I’m not sure if things will go according to plan with this overly excited happy cat.
***
The two men’s exploration of the Empire’s city center was eventful.
Edel, who had come outside the Imperial Palace for the first time, was the very definition of distracted.
“Pitt, Pitt…!”
He marveled at everything in the outside world and couldn’t stay still for a moment.
“Young Master, please maintain some dignity…”
“Pitt! What’s that? Everyone’s carrying around that drink!”
“That appears to be… a beverage called iced americano.”
“Iced americano?”
“Yes.”
“The name is really…”
Edel clasped his hands together and brought them close to his cheeks.
“Really cool…!”
“…?”
“Instead of ‘Edel la Peshirod Carnon,’ I want to be ‘Edel la Iced Americano Carnon’!”
What on earth was he talking about?
The flow of conversation was as chaotic as his actions.
‘I can’t let myself get swept up…’
The mission engraved in Pitt’s mind was clear.
Quickly fulfill Edel’s wish and swiftly return to the Imperial Palace.
‘That’s the only way to survive.’
But it was precarious from the start.
Edel kept changing his interests every five seconds, constantly sweeping Pitt along.
At that moment, Edel began moving on his own again.
“I want to try it too!”
He dashed like an arrow toward the nearest cafe.
“Your High… No, Young Master! Now is not the time for…”
Pitt’s attempts to stop him naturally fell on deaf ears.
Edel had already pushed through the crowd and was standing in line in front of the cafe.
“Hah…”
Eventually, Pitt hurriedly moved his thin legs to follow the small figure covered in a cloak.
This wasn’t the first or second time this had happened.
“Pitt! I’m curious about that. I want to take a look!”
While being dragged around like this, he suddenly realized one important fact.
‘Come to think of it…’
We don’t know any information about that ‘future sister-in-law.’
About Siena, that is.
Surely Edel had escaped the Imperial Palace to meet Siena.
But all Edel and Pitt knew was what she looked like.
Her name, where she lived.
They didn’t know any of the important things.
‘Because His Highness the Prince didn’t tell us.’
Pitt’s complexion gradually grew pale.
‘…At least the fortunate thing in all this.’
Is that we know where The Prince is currently staying.
“Brother, why are you hiding and living at Aizet Baron’s mansion? Is there a reason?”
“…There’s someone I like…. That’s why I’m leaving.”
By stroke of luck, Castillian had once told Edel about his whereabouts.
Pitt, who had been pondering, spoke to Edel.
“Young Master.”
“Hmm?”
Edel turned around while mumbling something.
In his hands was yet another street food.
Fruits coated with sugar skewered on a long stick.
From its appearance, it seemed to be tanghulu, which was trending these days.
“Unfortunately…, it seems we won’t be able to meet that young lady.”
Edel’s eyes widened.
He swallowed the fruit pulp in his mouth and asked back.
“What?! Why?”
Pitt suddenly felt something strange.
‘…But when did he buy that again.’
Edel must have secretly taken his wallet.
‘From earlier, iced americano, cotton candy, and now tanghulu.’
Just how many was this.
‘…No. This isn’t what’s important right now.’
Pitt shook his head and tried to gather himself as he explained.
“We don’t know anything about that young lady. We don’t know her name or her family.”
“….”
“The only thing Your Highness and I know is where The Prince is currently staying.”
“….”
“So we have no choice but to go there, meet The Prince, and ask him about the young lady.”
This was the only solution for now.
But this method also had contradictions.
‘Would The Prince really tell us willingly?’
Castillian had been conversing with Edel for a long period.
Yet not once had he mentioned anything about her personal details.
“…Ash-colored hair and golden eyes. She’s not particularly glamorous. Neat and modest.”
“….”
“But… that modesty is beautiful.”
All he had told them was just her appearance.
‘Should I have thought about this more before coming out?’
No, if we’re being honest, we shouldn’t have come out at all.
Being so focused on calming HappyCat’s excitement that we failed to make detailed plans was painful.
That’s when it happened.
Edel’s gaze, which had been facing Pitt, suddenly shifted over his shoulder.
“…Huh?”
Then he suddenly let out a high-pitched sound.
Pitt, who had been holding his throbbing head, slowly turned around.
In the distance, a woman in a dark green dress was getting out of a carriage.
Edel’s eyes widened and his mouth, with sugar crystals on it, fell open.
“….”
…It was Castillian’s ‘her.’
Neatly tied ash-colored hair, a small face, gentle features.
‘Even seeing her from this far away.’
No matter how I look at it, that’s sister-in-law…!
Although Siena had a terribly expressionless face, unlike the night of the ball.
The two NPCs from the romance fantasy world had no way of knowing that this was the default expression of a ‘K-office worker.’
Siena, who had gotten out of the carriage, cracked her neck left and right to stretch.
Then she walked straight into the building in front of her.
“….”
Edel and Pitt briefly made eye contact.
And as if they had made a promise, they nodded simultaneously.
“…Shall we go.”
“Yes!”
The two moved their steps.
The place they arrived at was none other than the ‘Willow Romance Counseling Center.’
