She was also a rare beauty in the world of brothels.
He hadn't taken the beauty's previous demeanor to heart, but in the blink of an eye she seemed like a completely different person, her aura quite intimidating.
He felt somewhat uneasy.
Could it be? He broke out in a cold sweat. "Could you really be some kind of noblewoman?"
The occasional appearance of new girls in this brothel was mostly due to human traffickers abducting respectable women and selling them to the brothel madam. He was well aware of this, but he pretended not to know.
With such a powerful newcomer, could it be that they've really turned to the wrong place?
"I am a princess, and I have been framed by a villain. Before things escalate, please leave immediately, and I will forgive and forget. Otherwise, I cannot guarantee what might happen."
