The Escort Knight Who Is Being Obsessed Over by the Villainess Wants To Run Away

6. Escape plan step by step (2)

Yuridike. Master of the Information Guild.

Very little is known about her.

Even being the head is a secret shared by very few.

She appeared in front of me like a normal gang member.

Although she is the leader, there are times when she works like a member of a guild.

Now is just the timing.

You can deal with it like you would treat an ordinary gang member.

“How the hell did you know about this place?”

She asked, twisting her fingers through her long white hair.

This is a place anyone can access if they know the password.

However, not everyone knows the password.

A person who has established a trustworthy relationship in the formal and superficial business of an information guild.

A nobleman with great honor and reputation.

Those who sponsor a large sum of money.

Or, a person recommended by someone who is already a customer.

I already thought about how to cover it.

“Where are you from? Who are you? Are you going to be a young boy from a noble family?”

Purple eyes are ready to answer.

It is a secret information guild, but it checks the identity of the customer.

It is because of the principle that you need to know who each other is so that you can exchange reliable information.

Thus, a customer continues to communicate only with the first member of the organization he or she consults with.

If I were to take myself as an example, it would be this Yuridike.

Confidentiality is guaranteed.

Because the organization is so strict and horizontal that even she, the guild master, cannot easily read customer information held by other members.

“I was recommended by someone I know.”

“Aha. Did you have any referrals? Who are you?”

Every customer is given a code name to use when communicating with the Information Guild.

And I know a code name that I can use in this situation and buy her trust.

“It is the sun that rises at night.”

“… Aha. The sun rises at night…. At night, the rising sun….”

She rummaged through her ledger, repeating the word.

Pretend to be worried, but she probably already knows this name.

Contrary to her calm expression, her fingertips trembled slightly.

I pretended not to see and waited patiently.

“Yes. It sounds like you came here as a recommendation.”

She smiled.

She can pretend to be relaxed when she hears the name.

‘I’m sure he’s not the kind of person who doesn’t mind….’

“I am the ‘blind star’ who will take care of your counseling in the future. Please take good care of me.”

“This is Judas, a knight candidate from the Bebel family.”

Unexpectedly, Yuri Dike opened her eyes wide.

“Then, seeds?”

“No. Being a slave, I’m just lucky enough to be training as one of the candidates.”

“Eh, he was a slave…. All right. What do you want to talk about? Or something you want to sell?”

Because the Bebel family is shrouded in secrecy, I know quite a lot about this world.

What will happen in the future is natural.

Or, the location of the ‘sun that rises at night’ she is looking for.

“I would like you to find someone.”

“Yes. I am listening.”

Yuri Dicke took out her paper and quill.

When I come here, I think about what to say.

Because I’m not good at lying, I had to think hard for a long time.

To escape from the Bevel family, you must build a solid relationship of trust with the Information Guild.

These people can help me on my future path in many ways.

First, Yuridike, the master of the information guild, gives you the information you want most.

And she rewrites the future that was broken from the game point of view.

To do that, you have to meet her husband, the rising sun at night, Orphe, who ran away with her.

Naturally.

“I am looking for someone named Urydike.”

This is the method I chose.

The first step for Yuridike and Orphe to meet naturally.

Even when Yuri Dike heard her real name, her expression did not change.

“Yuridike…. Is there any information other than your name?”

“Age is around 26 years old. I heard she got married. And that she is staying away from her husband unintentionally.”

“… ….”

“My last name is Crocus. It is assumed that she once lived in the city-state of Elysium. I’m not a person I know myself, so I don’t know the external characteristics. Actually, he wants the sun to rise at night.”

“… All right.”

Her expression didn’t change, but her hand holding her quill trembled slightly.

Because of that, her handwriting was strangely shaking.

She laughed awkwardly and threw her joke.

“Ahahahaha…. My hands are shaking with shame because I fell asleep after drinking last night.”

Maybe it’s not a lie.

Ever since Orphe left.

No, precisely because of a misunderstanding, since she left Orphe, she has been dependent on alcohol all along.

I waited a while for her to finish writing.

“And one more thing. If you find it, he asked the person named Eurydice to tell him that he is waiting in the desert.”

Orphe wants to go back to Eurydice.

However, because of her misunderstandings and bad relationships accumulated in her past, he thinks that she hates him, so he hides her traces and lives as if she were dead.

Euridike is also looking for Orphe because he wants to meet him, but it’s not easy because he runs away so thoroughly.

In the first place, this place is different from the modern times I lived in.

To find someone, you have to put in a lot of effort and time.

Still, it is more likely that it will not work.

Even in modern times, in places as large as the United States, it is possible to launder one’s identity by moving one’s place of residence and changing one’s name.

In this world where electronic communication is not developed, finding a hidden person is like picking stars in the sky.

So the method I chose is simple.

The location of Orphe is told.

Let them just meet.

Anyway, the bad relationship between the two is a pure misunderstanding.

They both know that now.

It’s just that they couldn’t muster up the courage to face each other.

Small misunderstandings will be resolved as soon as you meet them.

‘It’s okay to talk about the relationship between me and Orphe. I’ve already thought of an excuse.’

The desert is the area where Orphe lives around this time.

Urydice will be able to identify the area where he is likely to be.

After writing everything down, she recited a summary of her request.

“The above, right?”

“Yes. It’s the same.”

“Okay.”

After checking, she burned the paper with a candle.

“The payment will be made after I get the information. How would you like to receive it?”

To build trust with the information guild, and to make sure that Yuridike stays intact.

The purpose is all secondary.

The real purpose is different.

“I want to create a dedicated account.”

There are banks in this world too.

It’s because I can’t use it with my identity.

I need money to get out of the Duchy of Bevel.

A place to protect that money.

Information guilds are also in charge of hiding slush funds and laundering money earned through dirty water.

Of course, we also offer guild-only accounts to our customers.

This is the original purpose of coming here.

“That’s not difficult. How much will you give me?”

I handed out all the money I had left.

Total, minus 1 Florin paid upon entry.

“First of all, that, 89 florins… no see….”

Unbeknownst to me, my voice became low.

The unit of money you touch will be different, but it is only 89 florins.

It’s not even 90 florins, it’s more embarrassing because it’s subtly less than 1 florin….

“… Foot.”

Urydike burst into laughter impatiently.

“Phew! Ah, being young is too young, right?”

“… ….”

“It’s cute. All right. I don’t know what the circumstances are, but I don’t need to know the circumstances of the customer. I’ll take care of it.”

“Yes….”

“Oh no. Didn’t you say you were a knight of the Bevel family?”

“It is not a seed.”

“Anyway. Then can you come find out about it?”

Information guilds sometimes request information from customers.

Customers are free to listen.

“I heard that there is a candidate for an escort knight like a ghost who recently moved Lady Elijah’s heart, but there is no personal information yet.”

… Yes? Wicked? What?

“Is it possible?”

“… ….”

It’s not even a monster.

I didn’t really move Elijah’s heart….

“… That’s me.”

“Yes?”

“I didn’t introduce myself in detail. I am Judas, a candidate for an escort knight for Lady Elijah.”

“… ….”

***

Click.

The room where Judas left.

Lead alone, Yuridike stared down at the table.

The afterimages of her burnt paper and letters flickered before her eyes.

“Haa….”

She couldn’t help but let out her deep breath.

‘Finally found….’

Desert.

Yuridike has selected several candidate locations in the desert where Orphe is likely to be.

She finished her preparations to leave immediately.

She kept her business secret only to those who knew her identity.

With the order to dig behind Judas.

It is only natural that we trust our customers and do not inquire into their circumstances.

However, as the head of the Information Guild, grasping customer information behind the scenes was the right thing to do.

‘Anyway, was he really looking for me too…. Really… ?’

Yuri Dicke set out in search of her husband, whom she had spurned, with vaguely swollen hopes.

***

I was asked a lot of questions by Yuridike.

First of all, I verified that I was Judas, Elijah’s escort candidate.

She was accepted after going through a few questions.

Since she is a woman who knows how to detect lies, it must have been easy.

Aside from that, they asked me a lot of things.

How did she become a candidate, how did she end up with Elijah?

I answered only what I could answer in moderation and came out.

She also asked me to arrange a means to contact her.

In the future, I couldn’t leave Anna behind like I did today.

Before she came out, she unfolded the small piece of paper she had been given and looked at it.

This is a passbook written with a password.

My own bankbook managed by the Information Guild.

The one written at the top is my code name.

It was a ‘vicious hedgehog’.

The password is randomly created using words that have nothing to do with the customer and looks like this.

What is written under it is Yuridike’s codename.

As I remember, it is a ‘blind star’.

100 Florins were deposited into the bank account.

Of which 49 florins is my money and 51 florins is my information.

So, the price for letting me know that I am Judas.

I have 40 florins left in my pocket.

We decided to inform you of the value of information about Orphée through the next contact.

‘… Ah. Come to think of it, she came out because she was buying a gift for Elijah.’

She thought about going to see Anna, but she remembered it belatedly.

“I’d like a set of the tastiest cookies, please.”

I ordered from the cafe employee who guided me earlier.

Unlike before, when she looked at me curiously, when I came out safely, she became friendly as if she recognized me as a real customer.

“Thirty florins.”

I hesitated while taking out the money.

30 Florins for a set of cookies?

120,000 Won?

‘Expensive….’

I couldn’t even cancel it.

In the end, I paid 30 florins.

I’ll make more money through the information guild, so that’s about it….

I made money by telling my name today.

I went back to where I met Anna.

She was waiting, holding two red flowers wrapped in white paper.

“From now on.”

As soon as she found me, she said in a stern voice.

“I will never tolerate something like today.”

I was reckless.

I sincerely apologized.

“… Sorry.”

I had no choice but to establish contact with the information guild today.

“Are you done with your business?”

“Yes. Go back now.”

I got on the carriage waiting for me at the entrance of the shopping street.

I asked Anna while going back to Elijah’s mansion.

“What kind of flower is that?”

“It is a flower called anemone.”

“I see. By any chance, could Anna deliver it instead?”

“Gifts are meaningful only when they are given in person.”

“But…. Like Anna earlier, what if you misunderstand me? She doesn’t want to be executed for contempt of nobility.”

Thinking it made sense, Anna nodded her head.

“Okay. Then, I will deliver it along with the word that it is a gift from Judas.”

“That is enough.”

However, the flowers were not delivered right away.

When Anna visited, Elijah was busy dealing with someone else.

“The Duchess came to visit us while we were away.”

Narcisi di Bevel.

Probably Elijah’s mother.

I remembered the bruises on Elijah’s wrists.

‘No way…. Probably not.’

I know very little about the Bevel family.

She should have asked or commissioned Yuri Dike.

What kind of person is Narcissi? Or where the Bebel family is.

‘I’m leaving here anyway, so what should I do?’

At the same time, it was hard to bear being curious.

Elijah didn’t even come to see her deer in the evening.

After she had a hearty dinner, she came to the stable alone.

Her stablekeeper happened to be cleaning.

“Oh, isn’t that Judas!”

When they find me, they say hello.

Even more violently, a moon deer approached and bit her on the head.

I petted the moon deer and said hello to him.

“Hello. Come to think of it, I don’t even know your name yet. Could you possibly find out your name?”

“Huh? Heh heh, the young guy speaks like an educated old man. It’s Bradley.”

“Mr. Bradley, I will remember.”

After that, Bradley went on a pointless chatter.

How well-behaved the moon deer was, it was a clever animal, but there was no food to cover.

How noisy the knight dispatched from his hometown is, how noisy he is every time Mrs. Narcissus comes. Etc.

I took care of the moon deer while arguing moderately.

A scene popped up in my head and then subsided over and over again.

A blue and red bruise on Elijah’s wrist.

It is not easily erased like mold on the wall.

What is it? That.

Tuk, tok.

The moon deer touched me.

“Why?”

Looking at it now, it was nipping at me with its horn.

As if to touch the horn.

The antlers of the moon deer are special and sensitive parts, so do not touch them carelessly.

This action means that he fully acknowledged me on his side.

While Bradley brought the hay, I carefully reached for the horn.

A hard, cold texture.

Smooth.

Even if you stroked it slowly, the moon deer was calm.

A cool energy flowed through his hands and into his body.

‘What is this… ?’

At that time, a notification arrived.

[You have completed the hidden quest, ‘The First Moon Deer Breeder.]

It wasn’t like that when it was a game.

Is it because it wasn’t the ‘first’ at that time?

[Provides a reward.]

It’s not a choice, it’s a offer.

It seems that one reward is fixed.

‘What are you going to give me?’

And when I saw the reward given, I spat out abusive words in my voice.

“Crazy….”

You’re giving me something nice like this?

***

A spacious room with a sparkling golden chandelier.

Under the crystal-like lighting, the shadow of the girl staggered.

A larger shadow grabbed the girl’s hair roughly.

f*ck!

With the shadow swinging its hand, a hard hitting sound rang out.

The girl had a rough fall.

“Wake up!”

The woman’s voice stabbed the girl sharply.

“Where are you sitting on her bare floor and exposing her ankles? Are you going to brag that you inherited the blood of a vulgar b*tch?”

In spite of the blatant insult, the girl did not distort her expression.

Tangled black hair.

The red eyes underneath looked straight up at the woman.

Girl, Elijah stood up in a calm manner.

Without taking his eyes off the Duchess, Narcissus.
