"Let's go, Hall."
Sophie threw away the big knife in her hand and got back on the donkey cart.
Hall withdrew his gaze and drove the donkey cart away.
The next few days.
Thanks to the money "aided" by the bandits, the two of them no longer had to live the same life of sleeping in the open as before.
After enjoying good food, drink and lodging in the small towns along the way, they successfully arrived at the capital of the neighboring country of Aros.
"We've reached our destination, it's time to go our separate ways."
At the city gate, Sophie got off the donkey cart and said goodbye to Hall with a smile.
It took them about ten days to travel this distance.
Now, there is less than half a month left until the prince chooses his concubine, and it is time for her to find a way to get dressed and sneak into the palace to participate in the selection.
"Wait a moment."
As they passed each other, Hall suddenly called out to stop Sophie.
"Hmm? Anything else?"
Sophie turned around and looked at the man walking behind her in confusion.
"Now that you're broke and unfamiliar with the place, you can't go and dine for free again, right? It's a good thing I was born and raised here, so I should show some hospitality."
Hall spoke jokingly with a smile on his face.
Sophie blushed a little, but she felt that what he said made sense, so she nodded in agreement without hesitation.
Originally, Sophie thought that Hall was just the son of a hunter with a little money in the capital.
It was not until he brought her to a luxurious house with dozens of servants waiting for his return that Sophie realized she had made a mistake.
He is not the son of a hunter with some money, but the son of a wealthy landlord.
"Hall, you are not some royal relative, are you?"
In the spacious and bright dining room, Sophie tentatively asked the elegant man sitting opposite her.
"That's about right, what's wrong?"
Hearing the sound, Hall put down the knife in his hand and looked at her.
"Nothing, I just think fate is a magical thing."
Sophie ended the topic with a dry laugh and continued to eat the delicious food on the plate, but she was secretly complaining in her heart.
It is naturally a good thing to have a rich friend in a foreign country, but it is very troublesome if this rich friend is a royal relative.
After all, she was going to pretend to be a princess and participate in the prince's selection of a concubine, and the royal family and relatives would naturally show up to watch the ceremony.
If she was recognized on the spot, wouldn't her perfect revenge plan be ruined?
Sophie curled her lips and suddenly felt that the situation was getting tricky.
Or, let’s leave after eating?
"What's wrong? Is the food not to your liking? Someone, remove the food and immediately make another dish from the Kingdom of Ellis."
Hall keenly noticed her unhappy expression and immediately ordered someone to re-cook the food.
Sophie's eyelids twitched and she tried to stop him.
"No need to bother! Hall, actually your Aros's food is also very delicious. I like it very much."
Sophie finished the dishes on the plate with a smile, and Hall's slightly cold expression finally eased.
"I'm glad you like it. I was afraid you wouldn't be used to it and I'd neglect you again."
The man's serious words gave Sophie the illusion that she was a distinguished guest.
But they have only known each other for more than half a month, and they haven't had much interaction during this period, right?
Could it be that I treated him to a free meal and developed feelings for him?
Recalling the scene of running with him that day, Sophie was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
"We're done eating, come on, I'll show you your room."
"Okay, okay, I should leave too... Wait, what are you looking at?"
Sophie, who realized it later, was a little surprised.
However, the man sitting opposite her had already stood up, pulled her stiff body and walked out the door.
