Chapter 78.3

Under a clear blue sky, the market they stopped at was very busy.

Rishe had a fulfilling time looking around the various stalls with Arnold.

Visiting a market for the first time was a lot of fun in itself.

However, there was one thing that bothered Rishe.

These lines of sight!

The people crowding the marketplace occasionally looked at them blatantly.

The people crowding the market sometimes glanced at them openly, or to be more exact, at Arnold, who was standing next to Rishe.

Hey-hey-hey, did you see that guy? Hes so cool!

I saw him! You have to see him even if you dont want to!I mean, I cant help but see him! Does such a lady-killer really exist in the world?

It was no wonder the girls were in an uproar. Rishe looked up at Arnold as he received some items.

He has a straight nose and thin, cruel-looking lips. His eyebrows were well shaped, and his eyes were beautiful. His eyelashes were so long that they cast a shadow on his cheek.

Arnold noticed it when she stared at him for a while.

What

No, nothing. Its just that I think your face stood out once more.

Arnold looked completely nonplussed upon hearing her.

Im telling you, youre the one whos been getting all the attention.

Huh?AhI-Its must be the hair color.

Rishe replied and picked the tail of her hair that Elise braided.

The most common hair color in this continent is brown. Many nobles had silver or blonde hair, and few had coral hair like Rishes.

Arnold started walking, so she asked while strolling alongside him.

Should I have dyed my hair?

Its not a matter of hair color.

For some reason, after saying it outright, Arnold covertly glared at the men walking around them.

In the meantime, the women passing by were excited to see Arnold. However, after a glance at Rishe beside him, they had tangled looks on their faces. After witnessing such scenes over and over again, Rishe started to feel unsettled indeed.

When a beauty this good is walking around normally, hes going to stand out badly no matter what you think

At this rate, they would discover that he was Crown Prince Arnold Hein.

My stomach churns at the thought In my life as a knight, His Majesty went out of the castle many times to drink and sing. The people all knew at once that it was His Majesty in disguise!

Thus, while stopping by the side of the road to take a break, Rishe cut in with this.

Since goggles are so precious, why dont you wear them?

Today Arnold was wearing goggles around his neck.

The goggles were worn by travelers to keep out the sun and sand, so their vision wouldnt be impaired.

At the very least, it was better than exposing his overly-toned face.

But Arnold himself thought differently.

In my experience, the more you try to hide something, the more likely it is to be exposed. These goggles are just an emergency measure.

Well, thats for sure

The king that Rishe served was certainly wearing a blatant disguise every time. Perhaps that wasnt a good idea.

You cant disguise the beauty of His Highness Arnolds face by hiding his eyes. He has a face that you cant look directly at with half-hearted determination, so maybe its better than drawing attention to him. Right?

However, she was still worried.

Even if its fine this time, Id have to secure another means of disguise for the next time we go out on a secret trip.

Next time?

Yes, next time.

Rishe nodded in response to Arnolds parroting.

Aside from Rishe herself, the problem was Arnold.

As the crown prince, his safety was of paramount importance to the country.

As a former knight, she still wanted to emphasize that.
