"Can you guarantee that your fleet will arrive tomorrow?" asked the Lord of Mason City, who was lying on his bed.

If Charles had been here, he would have been able to hear the voice in the box next door at the auction that night that he hadn't heard the city lord's.

Ruth, who was sitting on the edge of the bed and had just put on her shirt and had not buttoned it yet, turned around, put her hands on the other party's pectoralis major muscles, leaned over and kissed the city lord on the cheek, and said, "Honey, you have to have faith in us. Tomorrow afternoon, before midnight at the latest, our fleet will arrive at the docks in Mason City. ”

In many cases, half-concealment is far more tempting than straightforwardness, and so the play-offs begin.

Five minutes later, a well-dressed Ruth left the city lord's room.

After the carriage left the city lord's mansion, it came to a nice house on the edge of the city.

Ruth walked into the house and headed straight for the bathroom.

"Woo ......"

As soon as she entered the bathroom, Ruth threw up on the edge of the sink.

After a flurry of retching, she turned on the faucet on the sink, and the water from the roof tank ran out through the pipes, rinsing the dirt off the sink.

When she looked up, she saw a hideous face with no face in the mirror in front of her. The beautiful face that was originally full of youth and had a hint of playfulness was being grasped by her at this time.

She picked up the crystal cup next to the sink, took a glass of water in her mouth, and then picked up her toothbrush and brushed her teeth vigorously. A few minutes later, the rinsed water was spit into the sink along with the blood from the gums scratched by the toothbrush bristles.

Then she took off all her exquisite and gorgeous silk dress and clothes and threw them on the ground, and stood under the shower, letting the already cold water beads across her long burgundy hair.

She shuddered when she remembered the place where she had been kissed and caressed last night, and then picked up the bath brush next to her and scrubbed her body vigorously.

More than half an hour later, the door to the bathroom was pushed open, and a menopausal woman walked in with no expression on her face.

She said to the woman curled up on the bathroom floor, letting the water from the shower spill onto her trembling body, "We've found the real target, let's do it tonight." ”

With that, she left the bathroom without waiting for any reaction from the young woman on the floor.

After more than ten minutes, Ruth, who was fully dressed, walked out of the bathroom door and walked towards the dining room.

As soon as she walked through the door of the restaurant, a slap slapped on her glutes, which quickly swam outside her quadriceps and toward the sartorius muscles.

Ruth's body shook, and then flashed to the side, a pair of originally delicate eyes widened angrily.

It's just that the man in the acolyte's clothes who shot at her didn't care about it, and raised an eyebrow at her provocatively.

The other people in the dining room dressed as attendants, guards, coachmen, etc., whistled at the same time.

Ruth turned around and was about to leave the restaurant, but the door of the restaurant was slammed shut......

(???) つ?┯┯(′﹏｀?)

About half an hour before lunch, Mordred handed Ruth a cup of coffee. Just now, Aunt Aalto saw Ruth and left for the time being.

Ruth, who couldn't hide the haggard look on her face, politely took the coffee and looked around.

Just as she was about to take a sip, the calming power she had been expecting appeared behind her.

Aunt Aalto, who returned to the living room, held a light pink potion in her hand, she put the potion next to Ruth, and said, "This bottle of potion is for you, it turned out that I bought it for someone I knew, but I found out that she was actually married after I bought it." One sip at a time is enough. ”

Ruth didn't hesitate, she picked up the potion and took a big sip. As the potion flowed into her abdomen, a cool sensation filled her body, and the wounds on several parts of her body were quickly healed.

"Well......" Aunt Alto sighed, and she said to Ruth, "I think your strength is good, isn't it good to be an adventurer, why bother doing what you are doing?"

Ruth smiled wryly and shook her head.

Charles watched Aunt Aalto and Ruth chatting there, and had no intention of interjecting.

When Ruth first came here to inspect the work a few days ago, Aunt Aalto looked at her a few times and shook her head vigorously.

Later, Charles asked her what the situation was, and Aunt Aalto just said "This woman is too pitiful" and then diverted the topic, and when Charles asked again, she was confused with the sentence "You are still young, you will understand later".

Perhaps because of Aunt Aalto's strange and calming physique, Ruth visited almost every day for the rest of the day, and every time she came she had to find an excuse to talk to Aunt Aalto.

At this time, Charles pulled Mordred to the side and quietly acted as a background board, allowing Ruth and Aunt Alto to chat.

The expression on Ruth's face at this time seemed to reflect her inner thoughts better.

For the sake of Ruth calling the demon princess away from him that night, Charles decided to wait and see.

However, not everyone welcomed Ruth's arrival, and Charles could see that the housekeeper and Lorenzo here had a headache about it.

But Charles didn't care about it, because he and Mordred were about to run away.

Not only them, but Aunt Aalto was also ready to wait for the dealer's order to retreat.

The dealers are harvesting leeks, and every night boxes of gold coins are transported here for storage in the underground storage room.

Charles, who had put on a hearing buff to himself, had heard the names of several noble lords from the people who came and went.

Aunt Aalto told Charles every night during her routine money count that she would leave the place when this time was over, and then take the money to the Knowledge City to find her son.

Charles had a beautiful jewelry box in their room, which contained a whole set of gorgeous women's jewelry, and he estimated that the dealer originally wanted to find a village girl to impersonate a noble lady.

He had heard Aunt Aalto ask Lorenzo if she could get a few pieces of jewelry in return, and that she could ask for a little less gold. Lorenzo waved his hand, the work was done well, nothing went wrong, and he took whatever he liked.

That night, Charles saw Aunt Aalto stuff the two tiaras into Maudred's hands and stuff the entire jewelry box into his duffel bag.

"In the future, when my son is looking for a daughter-in-law, he will have to give away a few things that he can get his hands on. That's what Aunt Aalto said at the time.

Charles smiled at this.

He estimated that the day before the expiration of the dealer's futures contract, the caravan would sell a large number of the crystals he had hoarded.

At that time, the dealer will definitely fall into chaos, and then someone will take advantage of the chaos to take a few of their own people out. At the same time, there are special people to deal with Ruth and their demons.

For the sake of feeding Mordred fat during this time, Charles decided to take Aunt Aalto, who he thought the dealer would let him go, and run away with him.

Aunt Aalto didn't know that pretending to be a nobleman was a big crime, and the dealer couldn't let them leave alive. Even if you don't die, you will inevitably be engraved with the brand of a slave and become a slave in the dark.

Ruth talked a lot more today than before, and she and Aunt Aalto talked from lunchtime to dinner.

Just when Charles Ruth would stay for dinner, she left without looking back.

Charles frowned, realizing that there was something strange about this. But he soon stopped thinking about it, for Aunt Aalto had split tonight's dinner, a whole roast chicken, in half, and he and Mordred had each given half a chicken.

As always, I ate and stood, and then washed and prepared for sleep as always.

Just as Charles was about to read a bedtime story to Mordred under the covers, as usual, an explosion was heard outside the house.

Then Ruth's voice came from outside, "They hid the gold coins in the storage room under the living room floor!"

In the shouts of the guards first "enemy attack" and then "demons", Charles was confused.

? (￣o￣)???

What is this operation?

Isn't it this gang of nobles and demons disguised as humans to join forces to make money?

How did it become that the demon flipped the table here, and instead of waiting for the final share, he came directly to grab the leeks?

The door to Mordred's room was quickly kicked open, and Aunt Alto, who was fully armed, walked in with the sword Charles had bought for her at the auction, and said to Charles, "Something's wrong, I'll take you out." ”

Charles then pointed to the door of the room and said, "Someone's coming!"

The next moment, the door to the bedroom was blown open, and Ruth, dressed in a mage robe that was the same burgundy as her hair, walked in.

She looked at Aunt Alto, who was holding the sword at her, and said, "For the sake of our good time these days, I won't let you suffer." ”

Aunt Aalto ignored her, but shouted to Charles behind her, "I'll hold her back, you guys run!"

"I can't run away. Ruth said, "You're all going to die here." ”

Aunt Aalto rushed towards Ruth with her sword at this time, and the next moment, a bunch of buffs that increased strength, stamina, defense, agility, and so on were brushed on her body almost at the same time.

After brushing the buff, Aunt Aalto, who was caught off guard and had increased her strength a lot, failed to control her body, and she almost hit Ruth's body headbutt.

I saw Ruth raise the staff in her hand, and read "Fire snake out of the hole!"

A flame of fire shuffled around Aunt Alto like a nimble python, and then lunged towards Charles.

There was a "bang" sound, and Charles, who had attached the demon-breaking power to his right hand, protected Mordred behind him, and knocked out the fiery snake that was rushing towards them with one punch.

Charles sneered and said, "I don't know who is going to run." ”
