Late at night, the moon and stars are scarce. The autumn breeze blows through Luna's maid's dress, bringing a hint of coolness.

Luna? Grand Duke Brewster, sanction the mage Taluk? The first apprentice of the Brewster Grand Magister, who has lived in the mage tower since he was 8 years old, and the woman who struggled for everything in her life to become a mage, at this moment, was free.

She stood at the intersection of Asilis Avenue and Glory Street, looking at the bright pyroxene street lamps and the pedestrians returning at night on the two streets, and took a deep, deep, inhaled a breath.

"I'm free!!!!!!!!"

The girl's crisp voice came far away in the night, causing some passers-by to look back. It was late at night, and there was no roadside entertainment in the upper town, and most of the minor nobles and freedmen had already gone home, or were on their way home. Although it is rare, there are also occasional people with abnormal nerves standing on street corners and yelling at something. As residents of the capital, Roseville, they are not surprised by such people.

Luna ignores the gazes of the men, and she is basking in the joy of freedom. The seventeen-year-old girl felt extremely happy and relaxed at this moment, she didn't need to worry about the future of the Sanction Mage Tower, or that she had been promised by the damn old emperor to a vulgar general who didn't know what the hell she looked like, she now owned herself completely, completely.

"Go...... What for? ”

Luna reaches for the corner of her skirt so that her beautiful maid outfit doesn't fall into dust. Although it was the first time she had escaped, it was not the first time she had secretly left the Mage Tower. In the days before, she had gone out with Didi and Mei Mei through that little door every once in a while, and walked around the upper town at night, or strolled around the East district at festivals, and went to see the noisy, interesting markets that the freemen liked.

"I want to think about it...... Find a place to rest first! ”

Despite her youth, Luna doesn't feel like she lacks common sense, and she quickly makes plans for herself. It's late at night, and it might be dangerous to move around rashly, so you should find a safe hotel and find a way out of Roseville tomorrow. She had already thought that after leaving Roseville, she was going to travel around the world, to see the Northern Lights in the Far North, to see the snow-capped mountains of the Negru Republic, to see the sandy beaches of Loren Robles and the deserts on the south side of the Third Republic, she had money, a lot of money, she also had time, a lot of time, she wanted to see the world with her own eyes, a world that she had only known through books or on the Mentor's spaceship.

As for where to stay, Luna has already thought about it. Suanna Palace, the emperor's sister, the female prince Suanna? Gibson's industry is top-notch in terms of conditions, first-class service, and first-class food. And she's Luna? Brewster, just remember the way there.

From Asilis Avenue to the west, walk two blocks, and on Thanksgiving Avenue to the north, you can see the magnificent building illuminated by pyroxene light in the distance. It took Luna half an hour to walk less than two hundred meters from Suana's Palace, but stopped again.

From her vantage point, she could see the traffic at the entrance of Suanna's Palace, which not only provided accommodation, but also hosted grand drinking parties and balls, and even the Sanction Mage Tower held several events here. Luna was a little worried that her face would be recognized over there.

Standing still for a moment as she watched the lights of the state-of-the-art palace, Luna pursed her lips and walked the other way. She was going to the Earl of Rutgers Hotel next block, a hotel far inferior to Suanna's Palace, which she had heard about but had never been. Such a hotel is not qualified to host royal banquets or balls, entertaining nobles or nobles of the Mage Tower. But that's exactly what Luna wants, and no one should be able to recognize herself in a hotel like that.

————————————

"Ma'am, our hotel is only open for reservations. When will your host move in? I'll help you register. ”

The front desk of the Earl of Rutgers Hotel is a somewhat handsome guy with a tasteful smile. Luna stared at him in a daze, only to realize that she needed to reply. She was a little unhappy with the other party's contempt, and knocked on the table gently and reservedly.

"No, it's not the master, it's me who wants to live by myself, please help me arrange a room."

Javier, the little guy at the front desk? Rigby took a closer look at the maid standing in front of him, who was somewhat unclear-headed. The maid outfit on her body has definitely explained her identity, although judging from the skin exposed at her wrists, this girl has delicate skin, it may not be a maid who does rough work, it is likely to be the personal maid of some adult, but even so, he can't break the rules of Count Rutgers.

"Madam, I have already told you, our hotel only accepts nobles with titles of viscount and above, if you want to stay, please report your host's name, and I will see if there is a time that can be arranged recently."

The maid standing across from him heard this and curled up into a cute little fist with her silk-gloved hand on the counter. She was silent for a while, then took out a small bulging pouch studded with shining stones, opened it, pulled out two of the thick pile of banknotes, and placed them on the counter in front of the little brother.

"Is that enough?"

Javier? Rigby looked at the two 100 kroner bills and was shocked. As the front desk of the Earl of Ross Hotel, he didn't see the money. The best room in this hotel costs 80 CZK a night. But even so, he had never seen such a generous maid, generally speaking, the person responsible for paying was the housekeeper trusted by the master, and few maids dared to be so arrogant.

"Ma'am, it's not a matter of money, I've already told you, Earl Rutgers Hotel can't accept guests who don't have a title, if you want to help your host book a room, please report your host's name and title, and we will give priority to check-in."

Quietly, Javier? Rigby lowered his posture. No matter how uneducated this little maid is, judging by her attitude and the way she spends her money, she must have been at least a personal maid of a viscount, and perhaps also a mistress. Otherwise, what nobleman would give that much money to a little maid?

"I told you, I'm going to live, I, Laviel? Duke Didi! ”

The maid was visibly anxious and began to speak incoherently. Javier quickly recalled all the Grand Dukes of Roseville in his mind, none of them were named Raviel? Didi. Moreover, the real Grand Duke will not come to stay at the Earl of Rutgers Hotel, they usually have their own real estate or friends to host, how can they spend money to stay in a hotel in their own city.

Could it be the nobility of another city or a foreign country?

Javier? Rigby subconsciously shook his head, the maid's Ryan language was extremely fluent, with an obvious Roswell accent, and she didn't look like a foreigner at all. However, to be on the safe side, Rigby decided to confirm it. He asked in a more humble tone.

"Ma'am, may I ask where is Grand Duke Didi?"

The maid seemed to realize that she had said the wrong thing, and she picked up the two hundred-dollar bills on the table, snorted, and turned to leave. Her little boots smacked on the blue cloud stone floor in the hotel lobby, and her little buttocks twisted under the wide maid's long skirt, and she left the lobby like this.

"That's really...... Be all abroad. ”

Javier? Rigby spit and got back to his job. He had seen a lot of people, and this little maid, though strange, was not enough for him to make an exception.

"Hey, Javier, who was that woman just now? What's the matter? ”

Hotel escort Demian? Haubridge leaned over and reached out and patted Javier on the head. Javier frowned and tried to dodge, but was unsuccessful. This Demian is said to be a figure found by Earl Rutgers after he came to Roseville, who had joined the army and killed people, and was very comfortable in Roseville. Since he came, there had been no messy people coming to the hotel to make trouble, and Count Rutgers admired him.

"It seems that the maid of some noble family came to book a room, but she refused to say her master's name, and her temper was not small." For some reason, Rigby didn't want to say too much about the maid. He always felt that Demian was a little dangerous, and he felt cold, like a snake.

"I see she put money on the counter, a hundred?"

“…… Well, yes, just two, I said I had to pay a deposit, and I confiscated it. ”

"It's a hundred crowns when you make a shot, and this little girl is really rich."

"She's probably the servant of some Grand Duke, Uncle Haubridge, and you'd better not beat her up."

Demian? Haubridge reached out and nudged Javier's head and smiled.

"You kid, do you still know how to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade?"

After saying that, he didn't wait for Javier to reply, and stood back at the door of the hotel, not knowing what he was thinking. Seeing that he didn't seem to have any intention of leaving, Javier quietly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

Roswell is a place where dragons and tigers are hidden, and if they really offend any of them, none of them will end well. Hope this Demian? Haubridge can be self-aware and don't make trouble for them.

——————————

Luna walked around the corner and stopped at the corner of the streetlight. When she was communicating with that handsome guy just now, she couldn't control her temper for a while, and she almost revealed her identity. Moreover, he was still inexperienced and forgot the basic principle that none of these aristocratic hotels were open to free people.

She stood in the shadow of the streetlamp and thought for a moment as a patrol guard passed by her. The guards kindly asked her if she needed help, and Luna hesitated and asked them about a tavern in the East District.

Honest people.

Roseville was divided into six districts, the upper part was for the nobility, the lower part was the slum, and the East and West districts were both places for freedmen, and the Sanction Mage Tower occupied the best position in the city, and the control area also crossed the city walls and extended beyond the city. The Royal Palace is located in the northeastern corner of the city and also occupies a large area. Luna knew the basics, and knew that Downtown wasn't for people like herself. So, she decided to go straight to the honest tavern recommended by the patrol soldiers to see if she could find a place to live.

It took a full forty minutes to walk six blocks from Uptown, where the Earls of Rutgers Hotel is located, before Luna found the tavern in the dim pyroxene light. Unlike the brightly lit streets of Uptown, the pyroxene street lamps in Easte are not only sparse, but also use low-grade pyroxene, and the light is mixed and dim. In the dim light, a large, crooked wooden sign hung in the middle of the windows on the first and second floors of a small three-story building, as if it were recruiting Luna. Underneath the sign, there were two pyroxene street lamps hung by the tavern itself, and some well-dressed freedmen came and went in and out of the streetlights, giving the tavern a lively look.

Luna stopped not far from the tavern. She lifted her foot and reached out to rub the heel of her shoe, her foot aching and crying out for rest. She thought for a moment, put her wallet away, and pulled out a more modest wallet that Mei Mei had given her before leaving. She's not stupid, it's not like an uptown, and it's not a matter of taking out 100 crowns. Here, many people earn less than 20 crowns a month, and their wallets must not be exposed.

Mei Mei is very caring, and the wallet she prepared for Luna is full of 5 kroner and 1 kroner receipts, as well as some 50 and 20 tini coins, which is very convenient. Luna took the purse in her hand, took a deep breath, and walked through the door of the Candid Tavern.

"Squeak-"

The first floor of the tavern, as depicted in many novels, is a small table and a long bar. A gray-haired uncle looks at Luna as she pushes the door in, and he sees Luna's inquiring gaze and smiles at her.

The smile gave Luna courage, and she made her way through the crowd and the scantily clad waitress to stand across from the uncle.

"This lady, am Glenn, the owner of this tavern? Gillis, they all call me Honest Gilly, is there anything I can help you with? ”

"I want a room, go to bed."

Hear the word "bedtime," Glenn? Gillis frowned imperceptibly, and he glanced behind Luna, no one else following. He reached for an empty glass, danced a beautiful juggler in the air, and placed it in front of Luna, and with his right hand he pulled out a long-necked flask as if by magic, and pulled out a high arc, pouring half a glass of clear liquid for Luna.

"For the travelers who are tired of the journey, I will give you a glass of water, free of charge."

Luna took the cup and dipped her lips in water. She hesitated for a moment, took two sips before remembering her problem.

"Do you have a room here?"

"Yes, quiet on the third floor, 4 crowns a room, breakfast tomorrow. The second floor is noisy, 3 crowns a room, and there is breakfast. If you skip breakfast, you can lose 50 tini less, how do you choose? ”

"I want the third floor, how much?"

"Give me a deposit of 5 crowns, and when I check out, I will refund more and make up less."

Luna pulls out a 5 kroner bill from Meimei's purse and places it on the bar. Glenn? Gillis collects the money and tosses Luna a bunch of keys.

"Turn right on the third floor and come to me if you need hot water, it's available before two o'clock."

Luna nodded, turning to head upstairs. But just then, the creaking door opened again, and a figure in a black robe with a long package on his back walked straight past Luna and slapped a 5 crown bill in Glenn? Gillis in front of him.

"The room at the end of the second floor."

"Okay."

Glenn? Knowing this, Gillis threw the man a key and turned to pour a drink for the other guest. The black-robed man turned, paused slightly as he passed by Luna, and walked over. Luna thought for a moment and followed.

If she heard correctly, the black-robed man who hid his face under his hood was also a lady, which made her feel the peace of mind she hadn't felt since leaving the Mage Tower. And this sense of security also made her want to get to know this traveler, who is also a woman.
