Chapter 23: Thoughtless
Chapter 23: Thoughtless
The golden eyes were very eye catching.
"Wow, he\'s really kind." Adela, who had caught up, had her eyes lit up when she saw this scene in front of her.
She also recognized Crown Prince Edward, but she had no intention to step forward and greeted him directly. After all, the crown prince was dressed up like them right now, wearing commoner clothes that would make them look rather ordinary.
It was just that the unique pupil that belonged to the Royal Family couldn\'t really be hidden.
"I can pay, but you have to promise me not to bother with her in the future," Crown Prince Edward said quickly.
The middle aged man grinned while the young woman behind Crown Prince Edward was shivering.
"Ok." The middle aged man nodded.
With that, Crown Prince Edward took his pouch and threw 10 gold over to the middle aged man. For the crown prince who had a lot of money from the Royal Palace, this small amount of money was nothing.
Adela watched this with shining eyes.
She felt that the crown prince was really kind and full of justice. It was too bad that she was not the one who was being helped.
If it was her, she would be able to get closer to him.
On the other hand, Aurora shook her head slightly when she watched this scene in front of her but she didn\'t step forward to stop Crown Prince Edward either. Even if she was his fiancée, but this place was not suitable for her to step forward.
"Good." The middle aged man laughed when he received the money. However, he didn\'t leave as his eyes landed on the pouch Crown Prince Edward was holding. It was clear that greed flashed in his eyes.
"But I think that it\'s not enough."
"What?" The young woman was screaming. "But it\'s already so much! When I first borrowed the money, it\'s not that much!"
"The interest is high." The middle aged man sneered.
Crown Prince Edward frowned. He felt that this middle aged man was really unreasonable and was about to order his guard to step forward when the guard who followed Adela had already stepped forward.
Adela also came in at this time and said, "You\'ve already promised that you will let them go after they paid, how could you back down on your words?"
"Who are you? Don\'t interfere in other people\'s business, little girl." The middle aged man was looking at the man who held a sword against him. "You..."
Adela crossed her arms. "I\'m Adela White from White Dukedom. Are you sure that you want to offend me?"
The middle aged man was clearly terrified with Adela\'s introduction.
The social structure in this kingdom was very clear. Those with higher status deserved higher respect and also would be honored no matter where they were. If those of lower status dared to offend the people with higher stature, they would be punished severely.
In worst case scenario, it could even result in death.
"I don\'t dare! I don\'t dare!"
The middle aged man quickly shook his head.
Crown Prince Edward looked at the young girl in surprise and then looked at the middle aged man again. "Then scram."
"Yes, yes!"
The middle aged man ran away while Crown Prince Edward smiled in Adela\'s direction. "Thank you for your help, Miss Adela."
"It\'s nothing much, Your H... I mean, you?" Adela was not sure how to address the Crown Prince at this time. With him dressing as a commoner, it didn\'t seem right for her to expose his identity as the crown prince.
Crown Prince Edward motioned for Adela to wait and then turned around to settle the young woman behind him.
He wanted to make sure that she was fine.
Adela waited patiently.
At the side, Aurora didn\'t step out. She raised her hand and motioned for the guard to follow the middle aged man.
These two people were really... thoughtless.
