What should I wear to the Ravaal Kingdom?

Thats what I kept thinking about as I swayed in the carriage.

Looks are everything in this world. People say that whats on the inside is important, but the first impression is still the outside. Thats where everything is decided for the most part. Then they look at whats inside.

If possible, I want to get close to royalty But then, these prized golden eyes would be a hindrance.

Ive never met anyone who has eyes of this color. It would be troublesome if people thought I was some kind of special person.

I have to keep it as inconspicuous as possible. If thats the case, would it be better to have both eyes bandaged or something?

Uncle Will lived without both eyes, and I should be able to do the same with training.

Also, I should compress my slightly grown breasts and disguise myself as a man.

My hair was now short, and I had been working on my muscles, day in and day out, enough that I could be seen as a small boy if I wanted to.

Okay, thats settled.

Instantly I removed my eye patch, tucked it into my pocket, and roughly tore off the skirt I was wearing.

A chattering sound echoed in the carriage.

Hey, Id like you to do me a favor for the last time.

I called out to the guards, wrapping a cloth around my eyes.

Yes, my Lady?

Before we approach the border of Ravaal Kingdom, is it possible to get some tattered clothes for boys that even I can wear?

There was a slight silence at my question. I guess he wasnt expecting to be asked this. I could see that he was a little confused.

Besides, I have a cloth wrapped around my eyes, but it doesnt mean I cant see at all. My vision is a little hazy, but I can still see whats going on around me.

My eyes are special, arent they? The speed at which I read books was also extraordinary. If I put it up for auction, Im sure it will fetch an unbelievable price. But I wont do that because I dont want to lose any more eyes.

Its possible, but what exactly will you use it for?

Im going to wear it. Oh, and Id like some charcoal and a little mud, too.

Alicia-sama is going to wear it?

He replied with a mixture of surprise and doubt in his voice.

The guard didnt seem to have a clue as to what I was suggesting.

Well, thats understandable. Its not uncommon for a young lady to say something like that out of the blue. No, theres normally no way for a lady to be deported before that.

Well, Ill stop by the town for a bit and then head for the border.

Thank you. Oh, and make those clothes as dirty as possible.

Understood.

Although puzzled by my request, the guards agreed.

Thats why they were Duke-samas guards. They seem to be able to do things that I would have thought were pretty much impossible.
