What should I wear to the Ravaal Kingdom?
That’s what I kept thinking about as I swayed in the carriage.
Looks are everything in this world. People say that what’s on the inside is important, but the first impression is still the outside. That’s where everything is decided for the most part. Then they look at what’s inside.
If possible, I want to get close to royalty… But then, these prized golden eyes would be a hindrance.
I’ve never met anyone who has eyes of this color. It would be troublesome if people thought I was some kind of special person.
I have to keep it as inconspicuous as possible. If that’s the case, would it be better to have both eyes bandaged or something?
Uncle Will lived without both eyes, and I should be able to do the same with training….
Also, I should compress my slightly grown breasts and disguise myself as a man.
My hair was now short, and I had been working on my muscles, day in and day out, enough that I could be seen as a small boy if I wanted to.
“Okay, that’s settled.”
Instantly I removed my eye patch, tucked it into my pocket, and roughly tore off the skirt I was wearing.
A chattering sound echoed in the carriage.
“Hey, I’d like you to do me a favor for the last time.”
I called out to the guards, wrapping a cloth around my eyes.
“Yes, my Lady?”
“Before we approach the border of Ravaal Kingdom, is it possible to get some tattered clothes for boys that even I can wear?”
There was a slight silence at my question. I guess he wasn’t expecting to be asked this. I could see that he was a little confused.
Besides, I have a cloth wrapped around my eyes, but it doesn’t mean I can’t see at all. My vision is a little hazy, but I can still see what’s going on around me.
My eyes are special, aren’t they? The speed at which I read books was also extraordinary…. If I put it up for auction, I’m sure it will fetch an unbelievable price. But I won’t do that because I don’t want to lose any more eyes.
“…It’s possible, but what exactly will you use it for?”
“I’m going to wear it. …Oh, and I’d like some charcoal and a little mud, too.”
“Alicia-sama is going to wear it?”
He replied with a mixture of surprise and doubt in his voice.
The guard didn’t seem to have a clue as to what I was suggesting.
Well, that’s understandable. It’s not uncommon for a young lady to say something like that out of the blue. No, there’s normally no way for a lady to be deported before that.
“Well, I’ll stop by the town for a bit and then head for the border.”
“Thank you. Oh, and make those clothes as dirty as possible.”
“Understood.”
Although puzzled by my request, the guards agreed.
That’s why they were Duke-sama’s guards. They seem to be able to do things that I would have thought were pretty much impossible.
