Chapter 90: 75.2

“No! I don’t know anything about this! It’s definitely a prank!” Vyasa yelled, but the expressions of the guards had changed.

“Prank? That’s weird. Only you have the key to the warehouse. And even if anyone could get in here, they wouldn’t be able to make the lid of the barrel so sturdy.”

“Vyasa, you fucker!” Dawn cursed as he lifted Yuan out of the barrel. “What the hell were you thinking? What if my son suffocated to death!”

“As if that’ll happen, I made the air holes properly… Ah.” Vyasa covered his mouth, realizing his slip of tongue.

“Vyasa, tell us about that at the station,” The guards said. They didn’t even bother to use any honorifics with him anymore.

Not caring about the guards who had begun to tie Vyasa up with rope, Dawn rushed to check Yuan’s breathing and briefly examined his condition. He then sighed in relief and hugged Yuan tightly. “He’s only sleeping… What a relief.”

“N-no! I’m not in the wrong here! I’m just… Viscount Fores asked me to do this!” Vyasa protested.

“Hm… So you were plotting an abduction? You know that human trafficking is a serious crime, right?” One of the guards replied, before the two guards began to escort him away, giving Vio a salute as he watched Vyasa being taken away from the doorway.

“We will handle the rest of this case, so everyone else can go home now. Mister Dawn, we might have to ask you for your side of the story later. We’ll have to ask you to cooperate then. Anyways, Ron. I’ll watch this guy, so call for support.”

“Yeah, I’ll go,” The guard called Ron said, rushing out.

“Then we’ll also go home. But let me leave a word of advice. He’s a merchant, so make sure he doesn’t bribe anyone,” Vio warned. “But I’m sure that you’re all not that corrupted.”

The guard who remained in the warehouse frowned. “I admit that we didn’t believe Doctor Dawn because he’s a known drunkard, but I can’t forgive a villain! Especially someone who would kidnap such a young child!” He said. The guard paled when he realized his mistake and continued, “…Ah, I sincerely apologize for my rudeness.”

Vio nodded. “No, I’m the one who said something rude. I’m sure everyone living on this block feels secure because they have a guard who is as sincere as you are. Please continue to work hard on your job.”

“Y-yes… Thank you for your kind words,” the guard replied, his face red. He looked happy for some reason, contrasting Vyasa at his side, who appeared depressed. They made a strange image.

Vio suddenly felt someone’s gaze on him, so he shifted his eyes to the entrance of the warehouse. There, Dawn, who was carrying Yuan, was looking at Vio and his servants, speechless.

“Mister Samarelli, we’ll send you back with my carriage. Jill, guide him there. We’ll wait around here.”

“No, my house is nearby…”

Jill approached Dawn and spoke in a low voice, revealing Vio’s real intention, “Young Master is telling you to do so to show that you have the protection of the Lesserhains. It’ll be bad if you turn that Viscount into your enemy, right?”

“Eh…”

Vio laughed softly at Dawn, who became speechless again. “Well, that’s what I meant. I won’t ask you to compensate me, so please go home with peace of mind. I will come back again to discuss the job.”

Dawn looked hesitant when Jill urged him to board the carriage, but he got on it after he lowered his head. Jill then boarded the carriage after him and the carriage started to move.

After Vio sent them off, he tilted his head and pondered out loud, “I wonder if there’s a trend of kidnapping cases on 10th Avenue. The painter’s case happened here too. Should I report this to His Highness?”

“Then please leave it to me. I will inform the Knights of Green Flash of this,” said Legion.

“Thanks,” Vio said, before he put his hand on his chin. “Viscount Fores, huh… It’s a hassle to talk directly to him. Rille.”

“Yes, Master. What is it?”

“Make sure that only the truth will reach those who seem to like gossiping in this area. After that, I’m sure the rumors will continue to spread until it reaches that person,” Vio told Rille in a hushed voice so that the guard in front of Vyasa’s store wouldn’t hear them.

Rille nodded happily. “Fufu, I see. You want to start a bad rumor about the Viscount, so that he will refrain himself from doing anything rash, right? I understand.”

The residents of 10th Avenue looked at them from a distance, likely because they had noticed and overheard the ruckus from earlier. Rille pretended to look like she just remembered something. “Master, you should be thirsty, right? There’s a store over there, so I will prepare something to drink for you,” she said with a raised voice, ensuring that those people could hear her.

“Yeah, please.”

Rille then bowed and ran to a store that was in the middle of cleaning up to fulfil her mission. Vio pretended like he didn’t see the onlookers, who had immediately approached and began talking to her, and sighed.

“It’s really surprising. Who would think that I would happen to witness an interesting sight after visiting the seafood restaurant where Lord Violant had previously eaten at,” said Liona after she whistled, looking at Vio from a distance. She then glanced at the onlookers.

“Dame Lio, please stop showing such an unrefined behavior,” scolded Night at once. “Miss Millicent will scold me if she finds out. Where did you learn how to do that?”

Liona tilted her head. “Dunno. I only know that I learned it a long time ago. I don’t really remember since I often walked around the castle town. I’m good, right?”

“You are, but… haa.” Night dropped his shoulders. But Liona didn’t pay him a mind.

Then, Vio’s maid came near them, so Liona’s group quickly hid in the path to the back alley.

“Sir Cheval, please move back.”

“It’s fine, Sir Lantz. They won’t find out. Ahh, Miss Rille is also cute today. I thought I couldn’t meet her for a while. I’m really blessed.”

Lantz and Cheval, who were escorting Liona, were having such a conversation beside her.

When Rille returned to Vio’s side, Liona ordered Night to ask the nearby residents about the situation.

“It seems like a bad guy tried to kidnap a child under Viscount Fores’ order, Dame Lio,” reported Night once he came back.

“Seriously? There are troublesome guys everywhere, huh.” Liona clicked her tongue vulgarly.

Having seen that, Night sternly reminded her, “Dame Liona.”

“Yeah, I get it! Don’t act in a vulgar manner, right? Let me do what I like in times like this. You’re suffocating!”

“T-that’s…!” Night was shocked by Liona’s direct curse and wobbled. “I only said that because I don’t want anyone to see Princess acting like a thug… I understand, I will bear with the Thuggish Princess!”

“How rude. Anyway, I told you to call me Lio, didn’t I?”

“I understand, Thuggish Dame Lio.”

“…Are you making fun of me?” Liona asked with an accusatory tone.

“Isn’t that clear?” replied Night calmly.

Liona kicked his foot lightly in response.
