Happy Endings Are Lies - 34 Chapter 33-Wait, it's you!?

The travel from the North Kingdom to the South Kingdom would take at least a month. Denear was bored to death. From reading books to eating sweets and sleeping, he just sat in the carriage for a about a month.

A month passed and they finally reached their destination. They had no casualties throughout the entire trip. Well, that’s cause of the the skill, [Luck of the universe].

The city’s gates were made out of iron with 4 guards on watch. They had glittering silver armor with spears and sword attached to their waist and back. A long line had formed by the gate. Before entering the city, there was a table placed outside with a person who would check each and every person who enters. Kinda like a steward at the airport who checks your passports to make sure its valid. No one would want criminals inside their territory.

Denear’s carriage was getting closer to the gate. The guards in the front shouted from their horses and the whole line heard them as the carriage was approaching. “Make way! The Young Master from the Cornelius family is passing!” Everyone who heard them immediately made way without any complaints.Denear, who was in the carriage, was a little bit embarrassed with how his guards acted.

As a kid in his old world, older people would also cut in line in front of him just because he was younger than them. He always disliked people who just can’t wait their turn. Now it was him doing it, which made him feel like there would be people who would think he was spoiled and would feel how he felt when people would cut in front of him.

As they were reaching the gate, Denear could hear someone arguing with the ‘steward’ at the table along with some guards. There were about 3 people but only 1 person was arguing with the guards while the other 2 only tried to stop her. They seemed like one family.

He got closer and stopped by the desk. Everyone stopped their arguing and bowed down from where they were standing. “What’s with all the noise about?” Denear said, from inside the carriage. The curtains in the carriage were closed and no one could see Denear from the outside.

“Sorry to disturb the Young Master’s peace and quite. This lowly servant is truly sorry. There were just some problems with this country bumpkins entry. No need to concern yourself.”The steward said.

‘This guy is call himself a lowly servant? Wow! I guess power and influence really is everything.’ Denear thought.

“What did you call us!? Are you only treating us like this because you have some sort of discrimination against us!? We’ve entered this city before and we didn’t have to go through this! This is so unfair!” Argued the girl.

“Keep quite we’re in the presence of the Young Master! Guards! Guards!” The ‘steward’ shouted. Denear could sense that the guards had surrounded the girl and her family. “Big sis, it’s fine!” Said a voice.

Denear could hear a sword being unsheathed. The girl was already in a fighting stance.

They were about to attack each other when they heard a loud voice. “Stop what you’re doing right now!” The voice was full of authority and they had no choice butto freeze in their tracks without thinking.

“Open the door.” The guards did as they were told and opened the carriage door. A young teenage boy with blonde hair, which glittered in the sun, came out. He had an elegant look with some stylish expensive clothing. Just like those handsome princes in those otome love games. Though a cold and distant aura was being emitted from him.

Denear’s eyes looked at the girl and said, “Bailey Nemrec, right?”

“Wait, it’s you!?” Bailey was shocked. She didn’t know that it was him, The Cornelius’ Family’s Young Master, in the carriage because she couldn’t hear the when his guards were shouting for people to move away while she and the guards were arguing. She felt her heart break down from overload. ‘HE REMEMBERED MY NAME!’

“Does the Young Master know this person?” Asked the ‘steward’.

“Yes, I do.” Denear replied. “And I would kindly appreciate it if you would let them enter at once.”

“Then I am deeply sorry for inconveniencing your ‘acquaintance’.” The steward immediately apologized.

They quickly went straight to the check-up without asking any more questions. “Please place your hands on top of it.” They did as they were told and one-by-one put their hands on the sphere looking object. The sphere glowed bright blue for a few seconds and faded back into it’s dark color.

“Pass.”The steward kindly said but sneered inside his heart.

The sphere was for checking whether you have a criminal record.

Innocent=Bright blue

Attempted kill=Faint red

Killer=Dark red

Assassin=Gold

Rogue=Grey

“You can come in.” Denear gestured for them to join him inside the carriage. Everyone around them was shocked. ‘He is actually letting them inside the carriage to join him?! The strongest noble’s son is actually letting 3 commoners join him inside his own carriage when most of the 2nd and below ranked families treat commoners as nothing more than useless trash or garbage?’ Denear just wanted to be nice seeing that she was a very good big sister to the boy who was holding her hand. The boy looked a little younger than them. ‘But she’ll never compare to my big sister.’

“Thank you young sir, but we wouldn’t dare.” Replied Bailey’s mom, who was trembling a little bit but held her ground to not show disrespect, scared if something might happen to them.

Bailey followed her mom’s lead, though she really wanted to get into the carriage with him. “How could we commoners join you? Please don’t take it as an offence…” Every word she said made her stomach tighten. ‘Dang it!!’ Though she did think that she was not worthy of him.

No one would actually believe this sight even if they saw it with their eyes. Then they all stared at the girl and thought. ‘Hmmm….She is pretty…Has all the right curves and a beautiful face….And her legs are just….’ While Bailey, seeing her first love appear in front of her after a long time, unexpected, her heart began racing and her face turned faint red. She just wanted to hide in a hole for how she argued and shouted at the guards. ‘Nooooo! I actually raised my voice in front of him!! And my clothes!! Oh nooo! This is not how a lady should dress! What will he think of me now!? I really want to go inside with him!’

Everyone was thinking,’There’s probably a reason why he’s being so nice….’

After analyzing the situation, everyone had one question and possible reason in mind:

‘Is this guy trying to woo her?’
