Stop there! Whos there!?

The moment I approached the castle, the watchguard shouted loudly at me, and the long spear in his hands was even pointed at me.

Geez, do I really look that much like a bad guy?

Although currently Im wearing black clothes, with a black cloak donned at my back, and even have two daggers hanging at my waist, cant you guys see my pure eyes and upright facial appearance!?

Forget it, even if I explain to all of you, none of you will get it. Such a pure and innocent person like me will never do things like attacking the castle, abducting the Princess, or killing the King Well, the last one is an exception.

Good evening, everyone. My name is Sol Feil, a mercenary who comes from the Ice Empire. When I passed by here, I saw the request at the Mercenary Guild that was initiated by the esteemed Princess, and hence, I completed it.

As I said that, I took out the doll the Princess gave me.

So, I came here with the Princess doll to retrieve my reward.

Is Is that so.

That guard looked at the doll in my hands, and could not make a decision at the spot. He and the other guard looked at each other in the eye, and then, he said.

I will report to this our commander!

That guard said as such, before turning and entering into the castle walls.

So troublesome. Clearly, you could have just casually let me pass. This is so troublesome, yet, theres not even a fast-forward button. This is really a waste of time, huh.

After a while, a man in armor, with a cape donned, came walking out with that guard. Thats probably their commander, I guess.

After taking a look at me, he took out a bag of something from his pocket and walked towards me, as he reached out his hands to grab the doll in my hand.

In a flash, I retreated, allowing his hands to catch empty air.

One thousand gold, isnt that whats stated on the request?

I looked at that bag and said.

Thats only one thousand silver over there, right?

Hmph! What right does a lowly mercenary have to bargain!? Hurry and hand over that doll, and then, leave with the money! Otherwise, I will have you treated as someone who has stolen the princesss doll, and have you arrested!

That commander said very arrogantly.

Idiot, with your level of 10, I dont even want to remember your name, and you actually dare to be so arrogant. Im so scared~

Clearly, theres two options in front of me~

One, hand over the doll, take the money, and leave. Next up, even if I dont do anything, the princess will still help me accomplish it.

Two, kill this person, slaughter my way in with the doll, and then, hand the doll over to the princess.

Personally, I hate troublesome things, so usually, I will choose the first potion. And if its in a game, usually, I will still pick option one. Option two feels like it will become an endless slaughter of fodders.

But currently, this sure is provoking. This person who looks down on people, it wont be good to not teach him a lesson or two.

So youre saying, youre planning to take the doll and take all the credit for yourself, you human trash.

Hah! You actually dare to say such words in front of me! You

Hmph, dont forget. The doll is still in my hands.

I shook the doll in my hand and said.

Then, how much do you want!?

One thousand gold is equivalent to one million silver, and you actually want to shoo me away with just a thousand silver. Isnt that too big of a joke?

Alright, alright! I will give you ten thousand silver, that should be enough, right!

Seems like you dont know how to count, bastard!

I said very haughtily.

If I were to give you this doll, you will obtain the rewards of both money and fame

Kuh Damn it! Two thousand! Two thousand should be enough, right!

Damn it! You people dont understand the suffering of us, guards! Do you think its easy to earn money!?

Then just continue to do your guard duties well. Since youre trying to take a shortcut, you have to pay the necessary price.

Fine, you win! Heres fifty thousand. Anymore, and consider this deal off!

He threw over what looked like a card to me. I took it and looked at it, the word Bank was written on it.

Oh my god, they have really done it now! Even the bank has came out! And theres even cards issued. If I were to accumulate enough money, is it possible to obtain a black card?

And when I looked at it, there was only a scan code on it, and theres no name. Could it be that theres no need to put down ones name?

Stop looking! This is a card that has been recently issued by the bank opened in the capital. It can be used with places of high consumption!

Although I dont know who this person, who had the capability to spread credit cards universally, was, it seems like his economics was pretty good. After all, the level of trust needed for cards to replace conventional money isnt something that could be easily done.

Hey! Will you accept it or not!?

Fine! Here.

I threw over the doll to him.

Then If were fated, we will meet again~

When the doll was still in mid-air, I had already used Shadow Sneak and flashed to the top of a building far away.

I had been paying attention to this spot since the beginning, as, on this building, its possible to view a large portion of the capital, and the entire castle.

And as to why Im staying here, obviously, its to wait for a scenario to happen.

Earlier, when I handed over the doll, I had already hanged a crystal with the voice-recording ability on the dolls neck.

Of course, I set it up in the way that it will activate when in contact with a girl who is less than twenty years of age.

And then, I silently took out a fruit that I had kept before, and slowly nibbled on it.

Dont blame me for being heartless~

As I ate, I muttered to myself.

I had already advised you to do your guard duties properly Un?

And at this moment, at the streets below, a few people with theEviltitle were following behind a family, as though they were trailing them.

Since Im able to see it Why wouldnt I help them out?

Ah, lets just treat it as to while away time.

Thank you, thank you very much.

Youre too courteous, it wasnt that much of a deal.

I looked at the thankful expressions of that family, and courteously replied.

And then, I handed over those people to the hands of the guards, and one of the guards suddenly asked me.

May I ask, are you Sol Feil?

Un? Thats right. What is it?

Ah, as expected. See, Im right, right!? This Feil is definitely a good person. Commander had basically sought his own death, and walked the path of demise by himself.

Ah, I never expected it though. Although the commander is indeed a little weird, usually, hes not really a bad person. Hes just too greedy.

Seeing the two guards chatting, I interrupted them.

So, you people were looking me for

Oh, right. The esteemed princess is looking for you! She says its regarding the doll incident. Please come with us.

Is that so, alright.

I nodded.

Then, lets hurry.
