day?

to my great dismay I forgot what day it was.

it is still very important to me each day because it reflects who I am and what is the thing that causes me to continue to live.

im sure it's.

Day 435 ..

the sun was rising from the southern part embedding light passing through my glass window.

[a fresh start]

morning routine doing my daily hygiene.

as i look at the mirror.

I'm getting used to my new appearance.

but the collar was visible so i guess i need to do something about it not to become eye-catching or should i say this is a unique collar that will caused to identify me as the hero princess Alicia.

I won't let that to happen until I settle scores with my grandma.

im still puzzled to everything she was pulling.

I don't want to prioritize that right now.

later we will go to the Ashford merchant guild.

the first step so we have money for the nobility title.

[alright, let's get this done carefully cautious.]

I immediately went down the stairs to the bottom of the house.

Frey and Mauro were awake. they were the first to wake up I think.

[good morning Alic .. Lisa. pardon me for my tongue to slide] Mauro

[think before saying anything. do be careful Mauro, or everything will be ruined.] Frey

[I'm sorry father] Mauro

[morning Lisa.] Frey

[good morning father. good morning grandpa .. the breakfast your preparing smell so delicious.]

[ohh it's just the same meat stew from your storage bag. anyway you sound so used to our situation and thats good Lisa. that's the princess for you. imitate lisa Lauro so you get used to it okay] Frey.

[I will force myself to get used to father] Mauro

we chat for a moment about ourselves.

we still don't know our likes and dislikes.

Frey. no grandpa Rey was graceful in his every move.

everything has been calculated and I can say that he is really a professional person more like a Noble himself

so did Mauro.

i mean Father Lauro.

they are both refined when acting. they are contagious to look at.

their movements are like those of tall and decent people from my previous world.

[is there something wrong with the taste?] Frey

[oh ah it's absolutely delicious.burp ahhh i'm full. I will prepare what we need thanks for the meal.]

I quickly got up and began to prepare what we would need for the perilous return to the Ashford wall.

earlier before eating Frey wrapped a cloth around my collar and changed its appearance.

he imitated the necklace worn by Mauro's wife in the large picture of it hanging beside the dining hall.

his ability is astonishing.

because of that I lost my fear that our pretense would be prosecuted.

what worries me is what Frey mentioned that helped him get a fake certificate.

it’s hard to be complacent so I have to identify who they are and what their status is in the Ashfall Kingdom. they could be the key for my grandma the Queen to learn our fake identity.

Frey is not too deep to read what he was thinking.

he's too easy.

If i ask him he will probably just dodge the question so I better not to. But now I need to focus on the possiblities. I was used to this situation back from my previous world as a soldier.

the only difference is I'm not on a mission assigned to me by higher authority.

this is true to reality.

wrong move and everything will fall apart.

i hear the ladies chattering while eating breakfast.

ehhh ..

Erina was more mature than Norabele but when it comes from experience and abilities.

Norabele stands out most.

And she's also coming with us.

Rey, Nora and me Lisa are the only three to enter Ashford wall.

the lesser the more we can move easily and execute our main objective precisely.

alright everything is set and done preparing.

all i have to do is wait for Frey and Norabele.

9 o'clock am.

we ride on this carriage with the goods we have ready for the merchant guild.

If you discover this tale on Amazon, be aware that it has been unlawfully taken from Royal Road. Please report it.

Frey i mean Rey is a travelling merchant from his fake certificate.

Nora and I served as his new apprentice. his two lovey granddaughter.

he was teaching us how to become a full pledge merchant.

That's our plot.

[ don't forget what will you tell them okay] Frey

[ yes grandpa] Nora and i replied.

I don't think Nora will suit this position but she seemed so nicely silent from a moment we depart from our house.

that's the second princess from Norlangarth Kingdom.

she's more clever that you think she was deep inside her.

11 o'clock am.

we arrive at Ashford Gate entrance.

tight security in and out.

i can clearly see my wanted poster.

I noticed two familiar mercenary.

Muscora Rundal Verdo and Dunmha Verdo Raveria. off all people they are here at the front gate.

this is a big problem.

they were the hired mercenaries of the Avantika.

I can see them from inside the carriage.

I would have bowed down, Norabele just stopped me.

[don't make it public] Nora whispered in my ear.

I can smell the kind of mouthwash she used. That's the breath of a royalties.

her breath was fragrant.

And her gaze turned to me.

[what? you're acting strange sis] Nora

at the point Nora uttered the words the door of the Carriage immediately opened.

[ strange?] Dunmha

[ pardon me sir, it's my first time traveling with my grandpa so I can't help myself but scared of this new sight]

[ ohhh. pardon me for mistaken you for someone miss?] Dunmha

he's waiting for me to tell my name

[ i.. ahh.. I'm Lisa Elway Ruphert. this is my big sister]

Whew that was close. sigh.

[ I'm Nora Elway Ruphert] Nora

[ nice meeting you mr?] me and Nora

[ what a beautiful lovely name for the two lady aboard. pardon me im Dunmha Verdo Raveria.] Dunmha

[sorry for asking but are we allowed to enter? after all were just a merchant] Nora

[Muscora was talking to your Grandpa. when there is no problem we will let you in at once.] Dunmha

he made a cute smile. he's really cute and Nora fell for it all of a sudden.

Nora seems so fond and talking to herself aroused.

it's not really early but to think my stomach would turn upside down.

fortunately the female mercenary butt in at this nauseating situation.

[are you done checking their luggage?] Muscora

she noticed Dunmha was talking to us. two lovey dovey ewww.

[I've done checking it all.] Dunmha.

Dunmha has a comical personality opposite from his nephew Muscora. but they have the same traits. very intimidating personality.

[you're done checking? If they stay here for a long time and the queue is getting longer. what do you think you are doing?] Muscora.

[I'm sorry. i just can't help myself fall looking at them. you know I'm a defender of women, when i meet her again i will not waste my time i will ...] Dunmha

meet her again?

[enough of your nonsense. your a disgrace of our clan tch. pardon my nephew you may enter. halt! let them pass !!] Muscora

moscura pulled dunmha towards the corner of the gate and scolded her.

Dunmha begged Muscora and repeatedly bowed in shame.

is he for real?

everyone in the queue looked on and showed mixed reactions.

it's good and we're being admitted as well.

we wasted no time and went straight to the merchant guild.

we sat on the bench in the guild lobby while many waited to be called to their personal agenda.

1 o'clock pm.

[Mr Rey Elway Ruphert] receptionist.

Rey looked at us and we got his mean.

we followed him towards the receptionist.

many here looked at us as if recognizing where we came from.

perhaps they were also surprised because the truth is they have only just seen us.

because all of them here are veteran merchants and almost everyone knows each other except us who suddenly show up out of somewhere.

[yes] Frey

[papers please] receptionist.

After a couple of minutes the receptionist checking the documents

[okay. go to the second floor find the guild master] receptionist.

one of the merchants could no longer hold back.

[we were here yesterday and they just arrived. then we will be preceded to speak to the guild master.] merchant.

[I'm asking you again mr Andhel. have you completed the requirements?] receptionist.

[not yet but] Andhel

[yet you spouting nonsense. mr Rey completed all the documents needed so that is why he must've meet the guild master. you will do the same if ever you complete all the documents needed that's all] receptionist.

[but tch ..] Andhel

[mr Rey pardon me for this misunderstanding, you can proceed now.] receptionist.

the receptionist seem to have quelled the situation smoothly.

I think meeting the guild master is our next step.

[thank you] Frey.

we sat again at the bench on the second floor and another receptionist was checking our documents.

[hmmn. okay you may enter] receptionist 2

the receptionists open the door of the guild master written on the top of it.

the guild master was sat on the chair near her desk as she smiled to greet us.

is the guild master a little girl? eh

it's not like I'm just mistaken. she's a dwarven and I even mistaken her for a little girl oh common.

[im merlinda the guild master nice meeting you three. and you are] merlinda

[im Rey Elway Ruphert and this is my granddaughter Lisa Elway Ruphert and Nora Elway Ruphert. My pleasure to meet a beautiful guild master] Rey

[our pleasure to meet the merchant guild master Merlinda] Nora and i.

[wakakaka .. what can I serve you three?] merlinda

[we are here to find out how we can sell monster materials] Rey

direct to the point.

[ohhh. what a pleasant surprise. it's been a long time since anyone last transacted with us using the term monster materials. i mean what's the catch?] merlinda

[monster core's, hide, bones, claw's, tusk and wings] Rey

[wings?] merlinda

[Yes. a wings from desmondous retondous] Frey

ohh i never mentioned how desmondous retondous look like to Frey and Nora. shit i made a mistake.

[did you just say Desmondous Retondous? did i hear it right?] Merlinda

[yes it was a giant bat that has an abnormal status ability resonate sound that can disable your physical and magical ability right Nora.]

[yes] Nora.

[im sorry to spout it but Nora and her party can withstand Desmondous Retondous abnormal status so they can hunt them in for harvest.] Rey

[wait. are you for real?] merlinda

[why is that?] Nora Frey and I

[even a 6 party member of SS adventurers find it hard to subjugate one in an open battle against that catastrophic kind of monster. i wonder what kind of ability needed to exterminate one?] merlinda

[to be honest. our methods are the most efficient.]

[methods? what kind of method you used to overwhelmed them?]

I would have answered but Frey spoke.

[let's stand down for a while please. were here to offer merchandise and not how we obtained them.] Frey

[im sorry for crossing the line mr Rey. so let's get to business i guess.] merlinda.

the guild master noticed the magic bag we were carrying.

and invited us to follow her and go to the restricted area.

the restricted area is a building behind the merchant guild building and it is also surrounded by a magic barrier.

such a building has guards.

so I’m sure it wasn’t casually going in and out of that building.

we got in effortlessly because we were with the guild master.

this area is more or like a storage facility. And very huge

incoming and outcoming different merchandise.

all sorts are already here.

this warehouse is too big.

it is the center of merchandise throughout the kingdom.

food section.

clothing section.

monster material section.

building section.

arms section.

merchandise section.

we enter the monster material section.

it was very spacious and I noticed that all the shelves and boxes were empty.

[why does it seem empty here?]

[ you noticed. ehem. the truth is that more than two years have passed since the procurement of monster materials began to stop due to its market demand. and because of the widespread snowstorm and the ordinary monster grew stronger. only SS class adventurers society has the ability to gain even little by little. the SSS class adventurers society, on the other hand, does not want monster extermination and benefits from it. ] merlinda

[in other words that SS class giving up hunting monster right?]

[Exactly right. and as a result the monster materials began to run out as it became more and more difficult to obtain. the cost of each monster material also began increased. so I was really surprised when you came with the good news so I would have liked to see if the magic bag you brought was really full or you were just trying to find out the real situation of the merchant guild] merlinda

[to dispel your doubt of our true purpose. Nora take out all the empty bag.] Frey

the guild master was surprised because there were so many monster materials in the history of harvest society. even though he couldn't believe it, she was very happy because the section was almost half full.

her attention was focused on the monster core the size of a basketball. this is the monster core of the extinction class Dragonoid Komodo Dragon. it has the size of a Basketball and octagon circle shape and is colored dark green and glows purple randomly.

[I've only just seen this kind of core.] merlinda

[that is Dragonoid Komodo Dragon core]

[ughhh. don't make me laugh hahaha. that is behind the line. anyway I'll pay for it if your willing to sell it for me.] merlinda

[how much your offer?]

[how about ten million gold coins that's all i can offer. if you risen your price i can pay you in installments if that's okay for you.]

[whaaatt ..]
