Playboy [Part 3]

! I-I see. How rare of the three siblings to act separately

The princes rising hope of seeing Emma outside school withered instantly.

Well, for the time being, Emma cant go out of the mansion on days off

Outside the academy, Emma, the main cause of every commotion, was strictly supervised in turns by her mother, Melsa, and grandmother, Hilda, so she wouldnt cause any more trouble.

Right now, she must be at the mansion obediently reading the documents on Over Melsa had brought back.

Yeah, the insect commotion the other day was really terrible. Lady Emma has been pushing herself to attend the academy and act like everything is fine after that, but there is no way she can recover that soon.

Emma

Arthurs and the princes expressions turned gloomy after hearing George say Emma couldnt leave the mansion.

Huh? No Well, lets just say that it is as you said. By the way, you two. What are you doing dressed like [green and rich noble young masters coming to the Commoner District secretly without an escort to carry out crooked schemes]?

Huh?

No, well, I myself have some business in the slums and am on my way there

Arthur and the prince intended to disguise themselves as commoners, but they werent thorough enough. Although the two were dressed more lightly and plainly than usual, they were armed with imposing swords, their belt buckles were pure silver, and their shoes were spotless without a speck of dust.

Their disguise wasnt thorough enough that the general store owner said, Hey, there are some suspicious nobles warily and asked George to check out the situation.

Sometimes, noble young lords came to the Commoner District casually to visit the brothel secretly or get their hands on weed that made one euphoric when smoked. These noble young lords were nothing but a nuisance to the commoners who lived there peacefully.

Swords, belt buckles, and shoes were all suitable targets for robbers, and most young lords who came for the purposes mentioned above were rude and likely to cause trouble.

It was still better if they reflected on their actions after having a bitter experience, but some would also bring guards from their houses and return for revenge. Every time that happened, everywhere in the street would be destroyed and damaged, so it was very intolerable.

That was why the people on this street were staring at the prince and Arthur from afar warily, and the women and children were keeping a safe distance so they wouldnt be falsely accused of bumping into those twos shoulders.

George had been seen several times with the Rothschild Company people, who often had dealings with aristocrats. So it couldnt be helped that someone from this street would ask George to do something about those two nobles when he also happened to be present.

Wha! Going to the slums alone is dangerous, George-kun. You should at least bring five guards with you

Didnt you just recently get scolded because you went to the slums with your siblings alone? Thinking so, Arthur reminded George.

Its alright, yknow? I only called it the slums to make it easy to understand, but that place is now Stuarts territory.

Its our own land. Sure enough, George didnt appear to think much about going to the slums.

Ah, right That place is already Stuarts territory now.

It was still fresh in everyones memory that the slums were given as a reward for the Stuart familys past achievements at Emmas request.

Arthur heard that the reward-bestowing and various procedures were promptly carried out according to the royal order.

Hmm. The prince briefly thought of something, then grinned.

Your Highness?

Arthur had a bad feeling about this.

George, is it alright if we follow you to the slums I mean, the new Stuarts territory?

Oh, sure.

! Wait!? Your Highness!!! George-kun too! I wont be assured even if you agree to it so lightly! It will be too late to regret if anything happens to His Highness, you know?
