"Huh ..."

Lail rubbed her rough face and saw that the letters from Wanner had been piling up two days ago, when Jay drove her home. Lail has opened a letter questioning what Lail has to do with Jay.

"I really didn't expect that this would happen" Lail lamented then put the letters into a box and asked Naika to set it on fire.

It is now eight in the morning and Lail will rush out of the city, precisely in Gazea, the capital of Valazad. Lail there just to travel because he said Gazea has stunning scenery and places.

Of course Lail did not leave alone but with Naika. Lail also wanted to take Daval with her but her loyal bodyguard was forced to take a day off because her sister was sick.

Now Lail and Naika were in an ordinary horse carriage instead of a private horse carriage, spending a full day before entering the Gazea area. Naika carries two medium-sized suitcases behind Lail who enters the condotel, approaching the receptionist at the base room.

"One room for two for a week" Lail told the receptionist.

The receptionist is unemployed, takes care of Lail's room message and then mentions the price after giving a room key.

Now Lail is in the room with Naika who is arranging the goods from the suitcase while Lail opens the back door, there is a glass round table with two wooden chairs on the balcony while at the corner of the balcony fence there are ornamental plants in a medium-sized pot. Lail exhaled a sigh of relief followed by a thin smile. The lights in the urban residential area are beautiful, like there are stars under the sky. It felt like Lail was already impatiently walking around to see what the atmosphere in Gazea was like.

"Miss outside is cold, let's go in and rest," Naika ordered as she pulled Lail in.

"Yes, yes, ma'am," Lail sneered and laughed, making Naika laugh.

...***...

The reddish light in the sky began to spread from the east, a sign of the sun will rise but the air outside still feels cold and piercing the skin, the sun will rise, but Lail had finished her bath and was drying her long, slightly wavy blonde hair using a towel while Naika was still snoring with saliva wetting the pillow.

"Well, I feel sorry for the condotel cushion" muttered Lail while chuckling.

Lail hummed a little then wore a black buttoned top combined with a solid gray assymetrical skirt while her blond hair was paired with a bando wrapped in peach cloth with both ends of the cloth dangling. The two ends of the cloth on the bando were then concluded on the hair of the knot, the knot was formed like a butterfly ribbon.

"I'm so pretty!" Lail praised herself after seeing her reflection from the mirror and just then the sun had appeared and scattered the twinkle.

"Hm, fine, this is it." Lail then put a piece of paper on the nightstand and walked out of the room.

Time continued to roll and finally Naika woke up and read the message that Lail left on a piece of paper on the nightstand.

[Sorry, yes, Naika. I came out first because I didn't want to disturb your sleep. You have fun too and use the money I've left you with! Don't worry about me because I can take care of myself.]

Naika blinked as she turned towards a bag of money not far from the letter and Naika roared loudly because Lail had run away from her guard. Even though she said she would take care of herself, Naika was still worried.

Meanwhile Lail had bought some items in two paper bags yet, once again her eyes caught one of the attractive old shops that were near the deserted alley.

Lail immediately went in there, the shop was quite old, the color of the indoor paint faded, but that was not what surprised Lail.

There were six young men inside, dressed in black robes covering his head and body. One of them was holding a wooden crate containing an Indigo Cake.

"Please sir, this is my precious treasure. This stuff is not a smuggle, a friend from Baebilo sent it for me!" please middle-aged man, old shop owner.

"Sir, are you trying to take away the goods of the poor?" lail asked, she would most dislike seeing oppression.

A man turned to Lail with a cold look and said, "It's none of your business, Miss."

"Right now the Indigo Cake is even more expensive than gold. They could even exchange a piece of blue cloth for one slave. Are you guys trying to take it on smuggling grounds?" ask Lail again.

The man approached then gripped firmly on Lail's wrist. The man's amber eyes locked onto Lail's fierce gaze.

"Why do women like you know this kind of thing? Did you have anything to do with the smuggling that took place in Valazad?" tuding

Lail looked closely at the man before her. This kind of news is of course written a lot in the newspaper.

"His form is widely published in newspapers. My advice, you should go to the naval fleet because smuggling often through the waterway. Then please release your grip" Lail said as she glanced at the man's cheque on her right wrist.

The man regained consciousness and then released him.

"I'm sorry, I think I was wrong. You're government people apparently," Lail said after her eyes accidentally caught a badge on the scabbard of one of the men whose symbol resembled the flag of Valazad.

Lail then took a step back, lowered his head quickly and began to take wide steps leaving the store.

The man who asked earlier ducked down to see the used palm gripping Lail's hand.

"We're going to the fleet, right now" he said, but suddenly his gaze fell on Lail who was moving away.

"Ready, Grand Duke!" answer his colleagues simultaneously.

"I'll give you another assignment, Simon."

"What is it, Grand Duke?"

"Follow the woman and tell her the information" he ordered his personal knight Simon.

"Ready, Grand Duke!"

Gaiden Zaigweld Laighelton was a man called the Grand Duke, a sturdy, sturdy, tall man with an exotic tan complexion followed by this pair of intimidating amber eyes was the ruler of Valazad.

Gaiden was the younger brother of the late King II of Hedrixine. Hedrixine was the kingdom that ruled the country of Valazad. Valazad was a gift given by the late King II of Hedrixine to Gaiden for contributing greatly to the Hedrixine successes.

When the expansion of the territory, Gaiden led the kalaveri on the battlefield and always mengawahkan victory because of that figure is quite famous and respected. Unfortunately, at the age of almost 30 years, there has not been a single woman who attracted the attention of Gaiden so some people nearby complained that Gaiden did not go to marriage and may be an old virgin.

"After my business is done, we'll meet again" Gaiden murmured, commenting on a faint smile.
