Is the highlight of the banquet on the last day? (7) – unedited

“Ask someone else! I can’t leave here?!”

Uncle Grick never said that, but in case of an emergency, I can change his words a bit?!

“It seems that the only thing a thief can steal here is onions. There may be some crazy thieves who come to this mansion bustling with nobles to steal onions, but if there is, I will reward you ten times that.”

“No, it’s not about the thief, it’s like….. employment rules? Of course, it’s like an obligation to hold!”

“The most important duty of the employees is to serve us. May I pass this on to Count Abitz later?”

From reward to threat. There are a variety of means for luring me as bait out the window. I felt sad because I came from a commoner here too.

“I’m like a scapegoat for the status system.”

“What?”

“Nothing, great noble Sir. You just want me to go through this window?”

“Right.”

Even though it was on the first floor, I could say that the window was in a fairly high position from my short stature. I still needed to stretch out my hand and it could barely put my chin. I lifted my heel and gave strength to the wrist that was holding the windowsill.

“Uwaa!”

My body trembled, and my feet, having nowhere to go because there was nowhere to step on the smooth wall, floundered on the wall and fell.

“Puhaha! Are you kidding me now?”

I’m having a hard time and he’s joking? After giving a quick glance at the man in the mask, I shook off my hands and stood up.

Jump! Again jump! Again, jump!

It was a failure many times. I couldn’t put my body on the windowsill with my arm strength. In the end, the man in the mask was laughing at me.

“Don’t laugh like that, help me!”

He’s getting a bit carried away now. I said to the man, rubbing my tired arms.

“When I jump on the windowsill, you support me from below.”

“Who, who supports whom?”

“Me! Because I can never go up alone. If you don’t like it, find someone else. Or just go out alone!”

Sweat was dripping and I was breathing hard and feverishly, talking one after another, and the man thought for a moment and then nodded his head. As if it was a fun game, his eyes were full of playfulness.

“Alright, when I give you a signal, I will support you.”

“Okay.”

Thinking it was my last chance, I put my hand on the windowsill. Huaah! It’s weak, but my both legs float in the air.

“Now!”

My upper body slid outward with the force that was grabbing my thighs and lifting my hips with my shoulders. Fre, Freedom!

It was not a place where the music of the banquet hall spread softly and the light inside the building was sparsely turned on, so it was completely dark. Fortunately, there are no signs of human beings.

“Is that enough? I’m not an employee, but I don’t have the hobby of holding on to the butt of a lady, whom I’ve only said a few words to today.”

“I don’t have a hobby of entrusting my butt to a man I’ve seen for the first time. You can just let me go.”

I sat steady on the window and jumped down. My ankle was a little sore from the impact of hitting the ground, but it wasn’t a lasting pain.

“Come on! There’s no one here.”

As soon as I spoke, the man jumped down with a very skillful and relaxed posture. Before I knew it, I laughed as he stood in front of me and looked down at me. I was feeling the bitter taste of the difference in physique following the difference in status.

“Why? Are you seeing a handsome person for the first time?”

“It’s the first time I’ve seen someone like you. Please relift me again. You have to leave, but I have to go back.”

“What are you talking about? Your job is to guide me safely to the main gate.”

I don’t remember anything like that at all.

“You can go to the main first and then secretly call me when no one is there.”

I didn’t say yes, but the man pressed me on the shoulder and started urging me.

“What are you doing, you’re not going?”

“Are you kidding me?”

“I don’t have time to idle.”

What? Now he pushes my back with great force and forces me to walk.

“Oh, okay! I’ll go, I’ll go.”

Except for the soldiers walking around the mansion, no suspicious people were seen. Everyone was busy entering the hall where the banquet was held and enjoying it, so they didn’t even pay attention to the dark and dreary main gate of the mansion.

I don’t know why I should be guiding the way when the soldiers, who are strong enough to be incomparable to me, stand around without drinking or eating.

I also had to find Chenin, so my circumstances were not comfortable enough to guide the way. I thought it was the last flapping of my wings towards the stubborn masked man, pretending to be as pitiful as possible and muttering.

“I also need to peel the onion… If I don’t, I’ll be scolded…….”

“If something were to happen to me here, I will definitely point you out. Whether I live or die.”

… this total nutcase. If something were to happen, you should point out the culprit! Why are you pointing me out?! Before you die, the dying message to write down in your blood would be me, who went back without giving you directions?!

I couldn’t read the face of the man behind the mask, but whatever expression he was having wouldn’t look good to me. If possible, I wanted to pat him on the cheek telling him to go home without getting fussy.

However, as the old saying says to knock on a stone bridge before passing by, there isn’t anything wrong with being careful. Oh, of course, I didn’t think that out of fear that such an absurd and forced situation would happen.

Gulp.

Seeing Count Abitz serving him like he was going to even wipe this man’s feet, the man seems to be a precious bloodline… I mean, he even wore a mask. But why would he wear a mask at a banquet of a high-ranking noble? Oh right . He could be a nobleman suffering from assassination threats…….

“I can hear my head spinning all the way here. Come on, let me guide you.”

Yeah right. Hmm, I guess I’ll have to respond accordingly.

“I will see you off safely. Oh, watch your feet, there’s ants.”

From the job of peeling onions, I quickly became the escort of an unknown high-ranking nobleman. It was a very simple, safe, and very cumbersome escort, I only needed to guide the masked man to a road without people.
