13 – 13. Secret Deal (3)

What would happen if I dragged him in front of her and told her the truth?

Tolisso will inevitably be abandoned by the princess.

“Well, that’s not allowed!”

Only then did the merchant begin to reveal his true colors.

He smiled and whispered to me in a trembling voice.

“Can’t we be more generous in some other way?”

“Seoncheo-?”

What is leniency?

I looked down at him with an expression of disapproval.

“Actually, I am a merchant who supplies military supplies to Princess Leia. “If you look at it this time, I will definitely repay your favor through the princess.”

The guy was cornered and eventually started selling the princess.

But, I know.

She, who is known for her perfectionism, looks at his private parts.

That I will never help Tolisso.

He must have known her personality long ago.

So, there is definitely no way to report this incident to the princess.

They will plot all kinds of dirty things to cover up their own good.

“Is that true?”

“Really! If you do well, you might even be able to become the princess’s bodyguard.”

He answered confidently as if this was true.

However, I was shocked again by his sweet offer.

The princess’s escort.

‘I’m sick of that, you bastard.’

I leisurely walked to the center.

Then clap your hands lightly and explain to everyone.

“Well, you can see that both sides are reflecting. So, for everyone’s sake, we would like to adjudicate this case summarily.”

A tense moment.

Both Irina and Tolisso listen to me.

“Because it will be easier for everyone. “Do you agree with everything?”

I put my hand on the cart.

And the illegal protective stone was covered again with silk.

“We will conclude by refunding all the protection stones that you purchased.”

At the mention of a refund, Tolisso’s eyes, who thought he had bribed me, light up.

He shouted urgently with a puzzled face.

“Woah, it’s a refund! Sir, what do you mean by that?”

I shrugged my shoulders again at his words.

Then he looked at the dumbfounded Irina and smiled.

“What do you mean? I purchased an item, but there is a problem with the contents. “Then isn’t it natural to give a refund?”

The merchant roughly stretches out his hands and begins to appeal.

The guy’s thick fingers are trembling, as if he’s quite feverish.

“Everything here is custom-made! “If you get a refund, there is no place to sell it again!”

Well, what he says makes sense.

If you customize an item in the first place, you can’t even sell it to someone else.

“okay. Of course, it’s right to pay for the ‘proper’ item.”

I approached Irina as if agreeing.

And I asked as politely as possible.

“I’m sorry, my lady. “You will have to pay for the amount of jewelry you ordered.”

“ah… I understand. “How much should I pay?”

Is it because I’m so nervous?

She mumbled in a trembling voice.

I extended my finger and kindly showed the number 5 to the young lady.

And he said it with a very regretful expression.

“Unfortunately, you have to give me ‘5 gold’.”

However, the moment I heard those words.

Soon her blue eyes widen like a rabbit.

“5 gold… ? “Is that amount really enough?”

“Yes that’s right. “Nothing less, nothing more, it’s exactly the price.”

This is the price of 100 baguettes I bought this morning.

What a lot of money!

“What on earth do you mean? 5 gold… ?”

Tolisso’s lips parted.

He came towards us in disbelief.

“The Lady only ordered one protective stone, so you only have to pay for one.”

“That’s ridiculous! They’re all replicas, so they’re all the same, so what’s the difference? .”

The merchant found himself speechless while talking.

As if he only then remembered his fraudulent actions.

‘Yes, you fell into your own trap.’

1 protective stone provided as a sample.

Irina ordered only an ‘exact replica’ of it.

However, the clones that arrived all had very different effects.

As a result, since they are different products, there is no problem with refunding them.

“You said that the ingredients of the duplicated protective stone and the sample are all different, right?”

“That’s right, some were completely ineffective!”

Irina agreed and answered me.

“Then all 200 cannot be considered the same protective stone, so they are not duplicates in the first place.”

I slowly approached Tolisso.

And she personally inserted the 5 gold pieces she received from the princess into her breast pocket.

“Now, this is the value of one sample I received. “It’s resolved now, right?”

“… .”

His once firm skin is tingling.

He glared at me with his face distorted.

I grabbed his shoulder.

And he patted me and quietly warned me.

“Now get the hell away with that damn cheap replica.”

I can hear the sound of his patience breaking down to my ears.

He grabbed my jacket as if he couldn’t contain his anger anymore.

“Hey, can you handle it?”

The merchant pressed my shoulder hard.

And he threatens me violently, even spitting.

“I don’t think I could handle someone messing with me over just a defense article!”

His saliva gets on my face and it becomes increasingly moist.

I counted the numbers, remembering each and every unpleasant feeling.

“third time… Was it four times?”

Then the guy gritted his molars as if he was displeased.

“What is this bastard talking about?”

I showed my palm to the guy’s grinning face.

And made the number 5.

“A total of 5 times.”

The guy frowns at the sudden number.

“What do you mean number 5…?”

“The number of times a mere foreign merchant touched the body of an imperial knight.”

Tolisso snorted at those words.

Then he shrugs his shoulders and laughs at me.

“Ha, what are the 5 times for just grabbing my shoulder once?”

I grabbed the sarcastic guy by the head.

And he said with a slight smile.

“This even includes droplets of saliva that splattered on your face.”

He hit the head right where he grabbed it.

Whoa whoa–!!

The guy’s face is distorted.

Soon white teeth fell out of his thick lips.

However, I didn’t stop there.

Is it because the guy who dared to trust only Princess Leia was annoying?

Next, I kicked him hard in the stomach.

Thanks to this, he ended up in a rotten cart left in a back alley.

The birds on the nearby roof were also startled and ran away.

Only one animal remained upright and took in this scene.

“Wow, you bastard… Just a defense topic… “Have you really gone crazy?”

Tolisso barely got up from between the carts.

He sends a signal to the mercenaries with angry eyes.

“You will find out who is crazy when you get hit.”

I leisurely stretched out my hand.

And he spoke calmly to the Echina mercenaries.

“If you’re going to attack, any number of people is fine, but….”

A knighthood mark held in an outstretched hand.

The guys flinched at the golden lion mark engraved on the mark.

“Just know that the moment you fight me here, you will be considered an enemy of the Empire.”

The fear they feel is immediately exploited.

“You know what happens if you become an enemy of the empire, right? No matter how much you run away, we will pursue you to the ends of the continent.”

The mercenaries are also former Echina soldiers who were defeated by the Empire.

They cannot be unaware of the horrors of the Imperial Pursuit Corps.

“What are you doing, you guys? You took my money. Shouldn’t you work for what you got!”

Despite the merchant’s shouts, the mercenaries did not attack me.

Instead, they begin to retreat even further.

“We were just hired as bodyguards. Fighting with knights of the empire is a bit…”

“I-I told you! I’m the princess’ business partner! She’ll definitely cover it for me!”

I slowly approached the whimpering guy.

Then he pursed his thick lips and spoke.

“Do you really think you did something by making a deal with the princess?”

Tolisso is just a merchant.

Unlike mercenaries who fought directly against the Empire, he knew nothing about our knights.

“Don’t be mistaken. To him, you are no better than a bug.”

When even the mercenaries had no effect, Tolisso’s body began to tremble.

As if he had finally figured out his situation.

However, it was too late.

Because he practically tap danced on the line.

Wow!!

The one-sided beating started.

Seeing that, Dasha covered Irina’s eyes with her palm.

“Wake up. I haven’t paid you back for your five dirty spits yet.”

Tolisso’s face was covered in blood.

It was only then that he realized that he had met the wrong person.

“sorry… .”

He mumbled in a hushed voice.

However, I didn’t care.

Because I’ve accumulated a lot of things while watching him do things.

“Your voice is small.”

He raised his bloody fist into the air.

Then Tolisso reflexively grabbed my ankle and begged.

“Well, I’ll do anything. Please forgive me just this once… .”

It was only after hearing the screeching sound of the guy that I stopped punching.

Then he grabbed the tattered neck and lifted it up.

“anything?”

“Yeah, whatever… .”

Satisfied with his reaction, I dragged him along.

And throw it in front of Irina.

“Then, first apologize to the lady.”

Either in disguise.

No matter what the force is.

Because this is the princess of the empire.

I dare to clearly show that the miscellaneous merchants of the defeated country are not something to be done about.

“Please forgive my rudeness. We will make sure this never happens again… .”

Tolisso crawled at Irina’s feet like an animal.

His neat silk clothes were stained with military boot prints, and there were blue bruises all over his body.

Irina looked at me with a puzzled expression.

I bowed politely and told her to do whatever she wanted.

“… .”

Thanks to this, Irina returned with a cold face like at the appointment ceremony.

With his arms crossed, he looked down harshly at the merchant.

“For insulting my limbs. The fact that he looked down on dealing with nobles. This deserves punishment.”

He spoke clearly and clearly as if he were a blood relative of His Majesty the Great Emperor.

I watched it with satisfaction.

“However, looking at you now, it seems like you have reflected sufficiently.”

Irina glances at Dasha.

He then motions for her to come closer.

Dasha didn’t understand what was being said, but she followed the command.

The princess stopped her in front of Tolisso and spoke firmly.

“Apologize to my servant. Then, I will complete the matter by canceling the transaction.”

A white skirt faced in front of her.

Tolisso quickly raised his head at that sight.

“yes… ? “I told the servant?!”

I don’t know about the princess or the knight, but I can barely bow to the servant.

The merchant looked up at Irina with angry eyes.

“Why do you dislike it?”

Irina asked him back with an angry expression.

At that question, Tolisso cleared his throat and looked away.

Then suddenly.

Make eye contact with me.

‘no?’

I asked the person I ran into with my mouth.

Then the merchant’s hair stood on end as if he had been electrocuted.

learned fear,

In the end, he hurriedly crawled in front of Dasha and lowered his head.

“sorry… I was rude… .”

He just bowed his head until Dasha accepted his apology.

But no matter how long I waited, her forgiveness did not come back.

Tolisso, who found it strange, glanced up.

And at that moment, the area under the merchant’s eyes began to tremble.

“Miss, you have to move on to your next appointment soon.”

Because Dasha treated the merchant as if he didn’t exist.

“I haven’t been able to buy anything to eat today yet.”

I suppressed my laughter at that sight.

As a former intelligence officer, he knows very well what people feel most ashamed of.
