“How interesting.”

The person in the carriage turned his head towards Latil, looking at her as if she was an interesting object.

However, his gaze was not that of looking at a person, so Tasir was on guard, ready to intervene at any moment if necessary.

From his experiences running the business, he had seen many like him. Those people. Those who looked at others with those kinds of eyes were very dangerous.

How long was he going to continue like that? The masked man who was still smiling even when a blade touched his jaw pointed at Latil and asked.

“If my life is worth this map, how much is your life worth?”

Tasir expected Latil to be angry, but Latil, who didn’t get angry where it wasn’t necessary, simply made her demand again.

“Give me the map.”

The man was no different. He instead laughed even harder, stroking his lips with his thumb and muttered.

“There’s a joy in capturing and taming a beast that prances around arrogantly.”

But the moment the masked man spouted nonsense, Latil, with the dagger in her hand, swiftly swung it and lightly struck the man’s head with the hilt.

As a thud sound came from his head, the man’s arrogant smile froze. He looked as if he was wondering what just happened.

Startled, Tasir whispered urgently to Latil.

“Why do you always act before you speak!”

Even in an illegal auction house, there were people who thought they could act as they pleased, but this was absolutely not the case.

The larger the scale of the illegal auction house, the stronger the power of the organization controlling it, and they did not just let anyone do as they pleased in their jurisdiction.

And yet, Latil was blatantly resorting to violence, and he was scared that the owner of this auction house would appear. It wasn’t that he was scared, but didn’t Latil have many things she needed to hide?

“I can’t help it. My patience is only exercised for those who are legal.”

Tasir wanted to ask, ‘Does that conscience and patience of yours actually exist?’ but considering the situation, he kept his mouth shut for now.

In the meantime, Latil hit the man’s head once more.

Still, when the man tried to stand up without passing out, Latil put more strength and whacked his head harder.

The dagger she held in her hand only slightly grazed him, it was practically no different from hitting him with her fist.

She had grown up leisurely as the current empress and former princess. It was a determination that was dreadfully strong.

And finally, when the masked man passed out, due to the man’s orders or not, his subordinates who were watching the situation from a distance came towards them with fierce expressions.

They didn’t know what orders they had received to just watch their boss get hit multiple times.

“Get rid of them all.”

However, Latil simply and cleanly instructed Tasir, and she began to search for the map in the man’s jacket.

She didn’t even blink an eye no matter how many rushed at her. But in that, there was full of trust towards Tasir.

There was no choice but to follow her when she came out like that. Eventually, Tasir sighed and began to take care of the subordinates as fast as he could.

These guys were not the problem. The real problem was the auction house managers who would come after hearing this commotion. There was nothing he could do.

Even though it would be acceptable if Latil and the man in the carriage were just bickering, but they were fighting to this extent, the managers would surely come. And there was no way they could not fight in this situation.

“Are you done?”

Still, he was getting a bit impatient, so he kicked away the wrist of an opponent who swung his sword at him and asked. But there was no reply.

“Honey?”

In this situation, he couldn’t call her ‘Your Majesty’, so Tasir called the empress like a husband calling his wife subtly, and while he was subtly laughing because he liked calling her ‘honey’, he looked back at the carriage as there was no reply.

“!”

Why is Your Majesty getting in there! But as soon as he turned his body, he almost instinctively shouted ‘Your Majesty’.

Latil, who had only put her hand in through the window and rummaged through the masked man’s clothes, was now scrambling over the window. Even worse, she couldn’t get over cleanly and her legs were hanging in the air.

“Push me!”

Unaware of Tasir’s surprise, Latil demanded, and Tasir pushed Latil’s leg with his back. However, his eyes still spun.

What is this? Why is the emperor inside me?

“Huh!”

Tasir, who took a spear from the enemy holding it, stabbed the enemy’s lung with the handle of the spear, and then took the spear again and knocked down the enemy on the other side, quickly grabbed the carriage window in the short empty time and saved Latil.

I don’t know why he went inside…

“We have to go!”

Latil, who couldn’t hear the sound of “darling” before, now lifted her head at the sound of “darling” and stared at Tasir wildly.

But it was not Latil who screamed, it was Tasir.

“Uh, what are you doing!”

“I’m taking off your pants!”

“Why are you taking it off!”
