“Ah!”
I was flung back, but didn’t let go of the coin.
“Coffee… is not it.”
I wiped my nose and suddenly saw a man blocking my way. A fat man who had gained weight smiled triumphantly.
Ugh, the smell.
This filthy person, dressed shabbily. Looking at his clothes, which were a mixture of various types, he seemed to be homeless.
“I picked it up first! My hand was below yours!”
“What are you talking about! If it’s in my territory, it’s mine.”
The man narrowed his eyes.
Really?
I didn’t back down and widened my eyes in response.
You think I’ll lose? Without this money, I’ll starve too!
Crackle. Crackle.
It was a tension that seemed to ignite flames.
“Profit…!”
The man hesitated, perhaps intimidated by my glare, then roughly shoved my shoulder.
“Ah!”
I staggered back.
The man casually picked up the coin and slipped it into his pocket, looking at me.
“My territory, don’t look down on it, newcomer.”
“Newcomer? I’m not a beggar, you know?”
“You look exactly like one.”
“What, that’s nonsense.”
Saying that, I looked down at my clothes.
Oversized clothes, dusted with dirt from the chase with Idrish…
It made sense.
“You dress like a beggar, and everyone thinks you’re one?”
“What’s the difference? Do you have a house?”
“A house? …No.”
“Money?”
“A little.”
“So do I.”
I hung my head in dejection.
I guess I really am a beggar, aren’t I?
“But, I picked it up first!”
“This tiny thing!”
The man raised his hand. Ugh, he was much larger, and he was swinging his fist at a weak woman!
I clenched my eyes shut.
But even though I waited, I felt no pain. When I opened my eyes, a stranger was gently holding the man’s wrist, stopping him.
“What are you?”
The beggar quickly scanned the stranger, asking this.
“It seems the lady is in distress, so I stepped in, even though it’s not my place.”
“Lady? What lady? She’s clearly a beggar. We’re fighting over a bowl of rice, noble sir, please don’t interfere and go.”
Indeed, the tall and slender man looked like the young master of a wealthy house.
The man turned to me.
“Lady, do you need help?”
As if the beggar’s words weren’t important.
I nodded quickly.
Yes! Help me!
“You little rat!”
I hid behind the man at the beggar’s shout.
The beggar ranted for a while, but perhaps he couldn’t dare to take on the noble man and eventually left.
“Are you alright?”
“Yes, thanks to you. I really thought I was going to get hit without being able to move.”
“I’m glad. Actually, I saw you drop this in front of me and came to return it.”
The man extended his hand. On his palm was the cheap fake ruby necklace that the swindler had left behind.
“Thank you. For this, and what happened earlier.”
With that, the man smiled brightly. I finally saw his face properly. He was strikingly handsome, like a prince out of a fairy tale.
“You’re welcome. It was the right thing to do.”
His voice was soft, like singing.
Wait a moment. A blonde handsome man?
Shimmering facial features, a bright smile revealing orderly teeth, eyes green as melted emeralds.
Even though I looked like a beggar, he called me a lady with kindness.
I had a strong feeling. Even without hearing his name, I felt like I knew who he was.
The male protagonist of this novel and the snake prince who would conquer the world, Ojar Sedora?
Yes, such a handsome appearance could only be of the leading role.
The most handsome man in a novel is either the villain or the hero.
Since Idrish is the villain, this man must be the male protagonist.
“May I do this for you?”
Before waiting for an answer, he approached me.
Wow, he even smells good. Are male protagonists always this fragrant?
“Excuse me.”
With that, he came behind me and fastened the pure necklace.
Ugh, it’s cold.
When his hand touched my neck, I involuntarily shrank back. His hand was considerably cold.
Because he’s a serpent descendant?
“It’s all done.”
He smiled broadly. The neck that had shrunk from the cold hand a moment ago stretched out again.
A handsome face, but a cold hand? This is what they call a true handsome man.
All the hardships I endured seemed to melt away.
Perhaps my blank stare at him was strange, as he cocked his head.
“Is there anything else I can help you with?”
“Ah, no. I’m fine.”
At my response, he grinned. It was a beautiful smile.
“But there’s a lot of dirt on your pants.”
Ozar said so, pointing to my pants. It was the dirt that hadn’t been dusted off.
“It’s fine. It will brush off easily.”
“Don’t bother with that, take this, beautiful lady. You don’t have to return it.”
Ozar pulled out a handkerchief and handed it to me. On the edge of the handkerchief, as if to confirm my thoughts, there was embroidered a purple snake.
“Thank you. For rescuing me, for the necklace, for the handkerchief.”
“It’s nothing. The sun is setting, it’s dangerous; shall I escort you home?”
“No! Uh, and my father is strict, so if he sees me with a man, he will immediately scold me.”
“I see, then. Can’t be helped.”
