Both the farming book and the swordsmanship book were extraordinary, not something a princess would typically read. Although Mila answered that she understood, she wondered what book Stella would ask for next.

Now, she had the confidence not to be surprised no matter what book Stella asked for. However, that was a great misconception on Mila’s part.

“Oh, my, the lovely young lady has come again!”

Despite wearing Daelen’s clothes, Stella couldn’t respond due to people recognizing her at a glance. Her eyes widened without saying anything.

“How did you know?”

“Wouldn’t it be stranger if we didn’t know?”

Daelen weakly laughed, looking at Stella, who couldn’t hide her identity at all even though she was wearing his old, worn-out clothes. At first, he thought she was a truly strange princess.

Although her appearance was that of a heavenly princess, her behavior towards the common people and her way of thinking were completely different from the nobles he knew.
There were many moments when the distinctly noble demeanor emerged from Stella’s adapted actions, but she was definitely not an ordinary person. The crops the princess cultivated were also exceptional.

At first, Daelen thought it was because of the good soil. However, seeing crops growing robustly at an exceptional speed under Stella’s care, he realized it wasn’t just because of the land.

“I see. By the way, these pants are incredibly comfortable.”

Stella nodded, grabbing the loose hem and letting it flutter like a flag.

Despite her small stature, needing to fold the hem almost in half and cinch the waist several times with a belt, Stella smiled brightly as if she were wearing a splendid dress in the old clothes.

“While you’re out in the market, would you like to buy some comfortable clothes that fit well? There are many stores selling clothes on the west street.”

“Should I?”

The thought of buying fitting pants alone made Stella feel good.

As they chatted, the two unintentionally arrived at the entrance of the Moonlight Guild.

“I’ll go in and buy a stall voucher.”

“Let’s go in together.”

“There?”

Daelen felt that the inside of the Moonlight Guild might not be a suitable place for Princess Stella to enter.

There were rough people among those inside the guild, and just like last time, some troublemaker could pick a fight.

“But that place…”

“It’s okay. Let’s go in.”
Stella opened the door to the Moonlight Guild wide and entered before Daelen could actively stop her.

Ding-dong.

Jack, who had been dozing off to the jingling sound of the doorbell, opened his eyes halfway and greeted her as if murmuring in his sleep.

“Welcome.”

Struggling against drowsiness, Jack barely opened his eyes, and upon spotting Stella entering the guild, he jumped out of his chair as if he had just woken up from a nap.

“Sister Rudina!”

Recognizing her at once, even Jack.

Reading the hint of trouble on Stella’s face, Daelen shrugged his shoulders as if to say, “See?”

“Jack, hi. How have you been?”

“Sister, why did you come after such a long time? You said you were busy.”

Jack seemed to notice Daelen’s sloppy attempt to cover up. Stella nodded discreetly, trying to match the rhythm.

“Yeah, I had important matters.”

“Is everything done now?”

“Probably?”

Though uncertain, she didn’t think she would be invited to another extravagant party like last time.

“So, will you be coming to the market often now?”

“I’ll try.”

Jack was delighted by Stella’s response, but Daelen wore a puzzled expression. While business would certainly thrive with the princess’s presence, it also meant more attention, which he found bothersome.

Honestly, there was no guarantee that a similar incident wouldn’t happen again. Having a beautiful appearance wasn’t the princess’s fault, but it was a fact that it led to troublesome situations.

Ding-dong.
Jack and Stella, who met after a long time, were engaged in a lively conversation when the door opened, and a burly man entered the guild.

“Jack! Are you fooling around with guests again?”

As soon as the robust voice was heard, Jack, sticking his head out, quickly distanced himself from Stella.

“I’m not fooling around with guests. I told Sister Rudina that I would sell a stall permit. Right, Sister?”

Jack raised his eyebrows as if asking for approval while looking at Stella.

“That’s right. I was considering buying a stall permit.”

Worried that Jack might get scolded by the owner of the Moonlight Guild for some reason, Stella quickly stood up and approached. However, for some reason, there was no response from the guild owner.

On the other hand, Daelen, upon entering the guild and seeing Princess Stella, tensed up, observing the guild master with keen attention. Even if Daelen was strong, it seemed unlikely that one of his forearms could match the length of the guild master’s waist. Nevertheless, he couldn’t just stand there and be passive, so Daelen quickly surveyed the guild for anything that could serve as a weapon.

At that moment,

“Cuckus?”

Princess Stella called the Moonlight Guild master’s name in a friendly manner.
