Chapter 404 Familiar figure

Slowly, this was starting to make sense…

He was sending me out alone with his \'confidant\' into the middle of the forest. It would be strange if this \'confidant\' didn\'t do anything.

But I hadn\'t done anything that would offend or threaten the fourth prince, so why would he do something like this?

I just couldn\'t understand at all.

"Can I refuse?" I slowly said with a wry smile on my face.

The fourth prince just shook his head and said one word, "No."

All I could do was give a sigh and wait to see who would be waiting for me.

But in the end, it wasn\'t what I expected.

The one that came out wasn\'t a terrifying killer or a sharp assassin like I thought, it was a small figure that was wrapped up in a cloak.

Judging by the stature of this cloaked figure, it seemed like she was a young girl…

But when I looked closely, I couldn\'t help feeling that there was something familiar about this figure.

It was like I had seen this person before, but I just couldn\'t remember where.

After this person came in, she gave a curtsy like she was a proper lady before stopping herself midway. It was as if she had suddenly realized something and stopped herself before she could finish this.

Then she just gave a slight nod to me as if she was greeting me.

I couldn\'t help narrowing my eyes when I saw this.

That was because that feeling that she was familiar became even stronger when I saw her give this half curtsy.

The fourth prince just put his head in his hand and gave a sigh before saying, "Count Zwein, this is my confidant who will follow you into the forest."

Then after a pause, he added, "This confidant of mine is only skilled at picking herbs, so please make sure to protect her while you two are out." He narrowed his eyes and started pressuring me as he said, "Please make sure that nothing happens to her."

I couldn\'t help being taken aback when I felt this pressure on me.

Why would the fourth prince be so cautious about this?

Also, shouldn\'t it be the other way around?

If you already had someone that was good at picking herbs, why would you need me?

It\'s not as if I was somebody that was famous for being strong, so it wouldn\'t make sense just to call me here to guard this confidant of his.

After all, it would be more likely that I would need to be protected when the time came…

But then I saw something that was even more shocking.

The cloaked figure suddenly came forward and hit the fourth prince on the shoulder.

It wasn\'t a strong hit, but it was without a doubt a hit to the shoulder.

I couldn\'t help wincing as I waited for the fourth prince to fly in a rage at this, but to my surprise…nothing happened.

Instead of flying into a rage like I had expected and like I had seen many times in the game, he just revealed a faint smile and turned to lean in to whisper something to the cloaked figure.

The cloaked figure just punched him in the shoulder again.

It was clear that there was some kind of close relationship between the two of them, but were they really close enough to be acting like this?

The way that they acted, it almost seemed like they were brother and sister…

But the fourth prince I knew wouldn\'t act this way with his subordinates.

Just who was this cloaked figure?

I couldn\'t help narrowing my eyes to look at that cloaked figure, but that cloaked figure suddenly turned away when she saw me looking at her.

Huh?

Wasn\'t this almost like a shy girl turning away when she felt embarrassed?

But why?

The more that I interacted with this person, the more confused I felt.

The fourth prince just gave another sigh before saying, "You should head out, it\'ll be noon soon."

Then he turned to me and said, "Be sure to bring her back before the sun sets or else we\'ll all be in trouble."

"Trouble?" I couldn\'t help repeating in a confused voice.

The fourth prince gave a nod without elaborating further.

The cloaked figure also didn\'t say anything as she came forward to my side and waited for me to move.

I looked at the two of them, going back and forth…but I still stood up in the end to come to the cloaked figure\'s side.

When I walked over, I couldn\'t help being surprised again.

That was because there was this nice faint fragrance that was coming from the cloaked figure.

I didn\'t know what that fragrance was, but it was very pleasing to the nose.

It was the smell of a beautiful young girl.

Even if I couldn\'t see what she looked like, I could guess that she was a beauty under that cloak.

That just made me even more curious as to who she was.

Seeing that I just stood there, the cloaked figure softly asked, "Is something wrong?"

I jolted after hearing this before coming back to my senses, realizing the mistake that I had made.

I gave a cough to calm myself down before saying, "No, nothing\'s wrong. Let\'s go."

Then I started walking forward without hesitation.

The cloaked figure just gave a nod before following after me.

But it was at that moment that I saw the final clue that put it all together.

When she nodded, there was this strand of blonde hair that came out of her hood for me to see.

When I saw this, I finally put it all together.

That familiar figure, the way the fourth prince treated her, and this blonde hair…

It was no wonder they acted like brother and sister…

That was because they actually were brother and sister!

The one that I was escorting was the princess!
