Poverty makes me capable of anything.

His life was often so monotonous.

The situation became more complicated after they made contact with the reformers.

"Let's have some soothing music..."

"Let's have something more cheerful."

whoosh-

A woman's voice suddenly broke out, interrupting Visa's words.

what the hell.

That's terrifying.

Visa was so startled that he shrank back towards the window.

Only then did he realize that the person who had suddenly appeared beside him was An Ran.

"How did you..."

Visa suddenly fell silent.

It appeared out of thin air.

Appearing out of thin air? Isn't that just space travel?

A ripple appeared in his eyes.

The mysterious An Ran was far more mysterious than he had imagined.

"I need to talk to you about something."

An Ran smiled.

"Play Wistler's Song."

"what's up?"

"Don't rush, let me explain slowly."

Chapter 19 Punishing the Crybaby (1)

"Alright, tell me what you want from me."

Visa raised his hand, and the guards who were about to make a move immediately sat up straight.

Someone who can suddenly appear on the car without a sound is definitely not someone that the guards can defeat.

But as a guard, even if you know you can't win, you still have to go when the time comes.

It is my duty, and I will never forget it.

“There have been people investigating your situation recently,” An Ran said.

“You mean…” Vessa paused, “Rich?”

"So you knew about it too."

Visa explained, "I do know, but since I saw you'd already made your move, I'll just pretend nothing happened."

Anran nodded.

This explanation is reasonable and makes no mistake.

It would be very disappointing if they didn't even have this much caution.

"However, there's something else I don't know. He probably won't be causing trouble again anytime soon."

“What do you mean?” Visa turned to the side.

"He asked for trouble by provoking strangers, and now he's been taken away for fighting. I don't think his family wants to see him embarrass himself any longer," An Ran said jokingly.

This is in Aixing.

Otherwise, given her volatile temper, Richie would already be dead.

However, it is precisely because it is on Aixing.

Therefore, one should pay even more attention to one's words and actions.

So Anran made a decision: to avoid being censored or causing any trouble, she decided to become a lady.

—I've stopped swearing lately!

—Be a truly refined and easy-going lady!

“That’s really good news.” Visa’s words didn’t express any excitement.

If Anran doesn't step in to help, given the power he currently wields, he has a hundred ways to make Richie return empty-handed.

This wasn't something worth worrying about in the first place.

"However, there's something I think you'll be very concerned about."

"what's up?"

Visa stared at Anran with suspicion.

"Although Richie will most likely be grounded, his legacy remains."

"?"

"He went to see Olivia before he was arrested for causing trouble."

"Olivia?"

Upon hearing this name, Vesa's expression, which had been expressionless, changed slightly.

Recalling past grievances, resentment kept welling up, but Visa's "superficial" demeanor was excellent, and he quickly regained his composure.

"This is a bit troublesome."

Richie is just a nobody; it's hard to cause him any trouble.

Olivia, on the other hand, is different.

He was a few years older than Visa and had spent more time in the military and political circles.

If it is him who takes action, Visa will have a difficult time dealing with him.

Because he now has an obvious weakness.

That was the "girl" sitting next to him.

Let's just call her a young girl.

Just because someone looks like a young girl doesn't mean they're actually a girl; they might just be an eighty-year-old witch who's experienced a rejuvenation.

(Anran: (σ｀д′)σ)

The new mansion was bought by Tatu, but now the owner is Anran.

You could call this a handover.

But to those who already have suspicions, this is a flaw that can be thoroughly investigated.

"..."

Visa remained silent.

The reformers' influence was just a small spark.

Only in times of chaos can a wildfire break out; if targeted during seemingly peaceful times, one will inevitably suffer a severe blow.

"By the way. Actually, Olivia had already sent his butler over once, but I scared him away halfway. This is a difficult problem to solve."

"..."

"I have a question for you."

Seeing that Visa remained silent, Anran decided to liven things up.

"Ask away."

"What matters are under the jurisdiction of the Royal Knights on Aistar?"

“They will intervene in anything that endangers members of the royal family,” Visa said. “Whenever a member of the royal family is present, there are at least two members of the Royal Knights around. They may be standing next to the royal family member, or they may be mingling with the crowd.”

An Ran nodded.

After all, they are the Royal Knights.

This group of people are the Guardian Knights.

"That's true, but if the lives of important imperial officials are threatened, the Royal Knights will also take action as appropriate."

Is this a warning to me from the sidelines?

He seems quite worried; he appears to be a little anxious.

Anran felt that as a partner, she should express her opinion and tell him that she was not such a reckless person and that he could rest assured.

"you……"

"Speaking of last time..."

Alright, it just so happens that both of them are about to speak.

"You go first," An Ran said, speaking first.

"..."

Since An Ran has already said so.

"You asked me about Elise's situation last time. I've asked around with people who know the situation these past two days and I've gotten some information."

Huh?

An Ran's eyes lit up immediately.

What reformers? Why is Vesa's aura of destiny so insignificant compared to news concerning the main quest?

This is indeed a situation worth investigating further.

Visa thought to himself.
