The Fake Princess's Soul Contract Duke

Chapter 26: The Meeting At the Gun Shop

"uh? Miss Sheridan?"

A tall young man, blocking Alianora's path.

Holding her head that was a little sore from the sudden impact, Alianora raised her head to meet a pair of moss-green beads that widened looking at her.

"Miss, right Miss Sheridan, isn't it? Well, I didn't expect to see you here. What are you doing here, miss?"

Seeing the familiar snobs of this teenager in front of her, Alianora gave him an uncomfortable look.

"Who are you?"

The teenager tilted his head for a moment with a plain look, before closing his mouth and quickly bowing respectfully like a person when greeting. Her tidy orange hair became a bit messy when her head lowered.

"Pardon me for my disrespect, miss. Let me introduce myself first, my name is Rowen Von Keilanstein, greetings, Miss Sheridan."

The young man smiled at her, waiting for a response from Alianora.

While Alianora was rewiring her brain to remember, roughly which noble by the last name of Keilanstein was.

It did not take long for Alianora to realize that the Keilanstein family was not an ordinary noble family, but rather one of the four duke families in the kingdom.

Duke Keilanstein's.

Realizing the identity of the person in front of him, without waiting any longer, Alianora immediately greeted the young man.

"Greetings too, Young Master Keilanstein. Sorry I spoke a little harshly with you earlier."

The young man, Rowen, just laughed.

"It's okay, miss. As a knight, you don't need to treat me too formally so."

Hearing that, Alianora only realized that Rowen was actually wearing a Knight uniform. With a gold-carved red coat, in the middle of a tie and a golden bross with a lion's head emblem, which is the emblem of the imperial knight under the leadership of Duke Keilanstein.

Rowen glanced right-left at the crowd of people passing around them.

"By the way, Miss, what are you really doing here? Why did you come alone without any bodyguards?"

Alianora looked behind Mary.

"I'm here to shop for a while, so I don't need a bodyguard. If you are alone? "

But it seemed like Alianora's answer wasn't very satisfying to Rowen, it was because she was silent for a while while while looking at Alianora with a complicated expression, before returning to smile while scratching her head.

"Ah, I'm here to accompany someone, but when I don't see him, that person has already disappeared. I'm looking for him now."

Alianora just nodded slowly, but tried not to find out more about the knight's matter. That's none of his business either. He wanted to quickly find the right gap in order to end their conversation, and immediately continue on his way.

Oh yes, Alianora also seemed interested in heading to the gun shop to take a quick look, before moving to Boutique Miah. So, in order not to eat some time, he had to get out of here immediately.

"Sir Rowen, it looks like I have to go first, because there are still things I have to work on."

Rowen, "Ah, of course, miss, then, I will also proceed to find my friend. See you soon, miss. I hope later if we meet again, you, uh, don't need to be too formal with me. You, also do not need to call me with 'Sir', maybe.'kakak' can also, haha."

He laughed out loud while Alianora only smiled formally at him, not daring to give a strange reaction to the last sentence he uttered.

"Oh yeah, one more thing, I hope next time you go out, you have to bring at least one bodyguard. Because after all, you are the duke's daughter, and no one knows when and where you can be attacked. Excuse me first."

and Rowen disappeared, and Alianora's smiling face immediately turned serious.

He was told to bring guards? Well, maybe if she's an ordinary noble's daughter and not Thalia, it's normal that a commoner would talk like that.

But she is Thalia, and the common man already knows enough not to think it strange for Thalia to go-away without any bodyguards, except to official events.

They knew enough, that Duke Sheridan couldn't possibly waste time arranging a bodyguard for the useless daughter of his class, nor will the knights of Sheridan be willing to walk behind a fake princess whose origins are unclear.

Hah, so Alianora was puzzled as to why Rowen whose status was a high-class noble could speak so unreasonable.

Does he not know Thalia's condition?

Or does he know but he pretends not to know?

But for what?

The more Alianora thought the more she didn't understand. Sometimes people like to be weird and can't be guessed.

Alianora sighed to throw away her thoughts, and then she recalled the sentence that Rowen had said before that.

All of a sudden Alianora's face turned stiff, and her eyes narrowed, before she gave a small laugh that made Mary turn her head.

The young man told him to call him 'sister'?

They had just met today, that was not intentional either. Alianora had also only heard her name for the first time, if she had not remembered wrongly, but the young knight had already spoken like he was already familiar with her.

Alianora shook her head.

What a strange young knight.

Ah, yes by the way, she knows where my identity is from?

Could this face be easily recognized?

Then Alianora remembered the little mess she had made on her baptismal day, and she began to understand.

Perhaps this face was familiar to the nobles, since so many people were present at the baptism and must have watched it. That knight must be one of them.

Alianora turned towards Mary who was just standing behind her, without making a sound.

"Mary, do you think I should wear a mask too?"

Mary who seemed to have understood the meaning of nonanya, just nodded.

"It could be, miss, maybe you should wear it now."

I like this girl, fufu~

Alianora laughed lightly, "haha, yes already, come on, Mary. We go to the store there first."

Mary peeked in the direction Alianora pointed.

"Gun Shop? Do you also need to buy a gun?"

"No, I went there to look around for a bit, maybe there's something I need there."

Alianora may say this, but she was actually a little tempted to buy a fine sword that was displayed on the front window. The glint of his blade shone dazzlingly into Alianora's eyes, he was interested in just touching the sword a little.

Mary glanced at Alianora slightly, before closing her eyes.

"alright, miss. Whatever the lady wants."

They finally crossed into the gun shop, which turned out to be quite crowded in the people's visit. Alianora entered with sparkling eyes, and went straight to the weapons shelves, and Mary followed her nona with resignation.

Alianora held, and looked around the various weapons enthusiastically. He was like a child brought to a toy store, though it was a bit embarrassing to be shown by a noble of his class, but in such a crowded shop, coupled with his hood, he was, no one will be able to recognize him.

Unless that person is a fellow noble.

But forget it, the nobles usually won't be here. They already know that this Sherdian market is very crowded visitors, of course they do not want to jostle with the crowd, and also sweat because of the stuffy. At most those who come here just want to find a specific item, which may only be sold in Sheridan, he said, since the goods sold here are mostly imported goods and also strange goods of good quality.

But it can also be distributed to markets in other cities, with prices that increase, of course, but for nobles, the price does not matter, which is important to be comfortable.

Alianora raised a twin dagger whose blade was reddish silver rather than silver, with its golden handle already equipped with a small hole for the mana stone.

"Hm, when viewed from the tip of the blade, this could be an upper-middle-class weapon. It's interesting to wear a dagger, too, but I don't like it very much. A little hard to control.

alianora muttered as she put the dagger back on the shelf.

After that, Alianora then shifted to shelves containing swords of various shapes.

Not only were the casual forms officially worn by the knights of the Kingdom of England, but there were also swords typical of other kingdoms, even from other continents as well.

Alianora's finger swept across the blade of a slightly curved sword at the end.

"Ah, all these weapons are unique just that, still not my taste."

Goddess Alianora is famous for her incredible power. Not only magic power, but his physical fighting skills were also invincible. He used to be able to use almost any type of weapon well, even if he was told to choose, use weapons or purely magic, he would choose to keep using the weapon.

In the past, his favorite weapon as well as his mainstay was a sword. The sword with a long and slender blade with the tip curved upwards slightly, if the goddess Alianora used her sword, the enemy already knew for sure that they would be finished.

After so many years of no longer holding onto her beloved sword, Alianora slightly missed him. He tried to find a similar sword in the training equipment warehouse yesterday but only managed to find a thin sword alone, a rapier, of course different.

However, whether today was his lucky day or what, as he was about to get out of the store, from the end of his eyes, Alianora briefly saw a sword located on the very edge of the store.

The sword that was shaped exactly the same as the one he had before.

Instantly Alianora turned back to prove her sight, and right in the middle, there was a sword with a slender blade with a slightly curved end, a thick white handle. The bluish glint of the sword made it seem, the sword was formed from ice blocks that were still very cold.

Yes, cold was the feeling Alianora got when she first saw the weapon.

Without the need to laugh at it, Alianora already knew that this sword certainly had good quality, especially with two stone slots where in the middle, it was already very good.

Alianora was determined.

A sword as good as this seemed impossible for him to find a second time.

This was his lucky day, and meeting this sword was the result.

If he ignores it, then curse his next luck.

When it comes to money, he can still sell some more jewelry in his pocket.

Unfortunately, when his hand was about to grab the sword, the other hand had already picked it up first.

The look in Alianora's eyes followed where the sword was drawn and as a result, she looked face to face with a young boy she had seen from outside the shop, standing right beside her.

The dark blue-haired boy who was already no stranger.

Disrespectful boy on the day of the baptism!

"Hey, that sword, I saw it first."

The sapphire blue bead of the boy who was looking at the sword in his hand flatly, turned to look at the silver bead, without any surprise. Inwardly, Alianora could only guess whether this brat remembered her or not.

And also, cursed is her beautiful face that exceeds most women.

"You just saw it, but I took it first. Then, it's mine, right?"

"I'm going to take it."

"But you're late, aren't you? You can't say that because this sword is not your sword, anyone can buy this sword, who's fast he can."

The boy said with a flat expression, and his tone was also as flat as his expression.

Then from behind the boy, Mary suddenly appeared.

"You better give the sword to my lady."

Alianora and the boy turned towards Mary."

That kid, "Hm?"

Alianora, "Mary?"

Alianora thought that Mary had come out first but in fact did not, sometimes Mary's existence was easily overlooked.

"Let us introduce ourselves first, my lady is the first daughter of the Duke Sheridan Family, Thalia La Sheridan. You better give that sword to my lady."

Honestly, Alianora wanted to stop what Mary said just now. He felt a little embarrassed to dismantle his identity just for wanting to snatch a sword from a boy. Especially if his identity is just an identity, it does not provide power at all.

What if she's Duke Sheridan's first daughter, why? He would complain to his father and his father would respond, would he?

Hearing that, the boy's gaze turned towards Alianora, and there was something from the look in his eyes that made Alianora unable to look at him directly.

"Hm, so so."

Alianora who could no longer bear to feel the strange glare of eyes on her cheeks, she immediately turned her head back towards the boy.

"Here you go, listen to me"

"Gdh...."

"...Huh?"

Alianora opened her closed eyes to look at the boy in front of her, who was looking straight back at her.

An almost invisible thin smile was engraved on that pretty face, and the look in her eyes this time landed sharp and probed towards Alianora.

Alianora could only look at the boy with a look of wonder.

This kid, did he just laugh at her?

"What the fuck are you"

"You want this sword, don't you?

"Huh?"

"How do you take it from me, princess?"
