LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
The cruel reality, coupled with Aide’s gentle yet chilling persuasion, left the Fake Lord feeling his hands and feet ice-cold.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Was the luxury and glory he had enjoyed during this time ultimately nothing but a dream bubble?
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Then what was the point of his efforts over the past few days to diligently learn aristocratic etiquette and common knowledge from the beggar girl?
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
A futile attempt to stop the bubble from bursting?
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
The Fake Lord thought for a long time and remained silent for a long time.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“…I understand. I’ll agree.”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Realizing the situation was hopeless, the Fake Lord let out a deep, deep sigh.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“Don’t worry. The Royal Capital will compensate every victim of this incident. The amount of compensation will guarantee you several years of lavish spending, enough to help you escape your identity as a beggar wandering the streets.”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Seeing the Fake Lord finally yield, Aide showed a satisfied expression.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
However, the Fake Lord did not reply to Aide’s words.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
His eyes were dark and uncertain, as if he wanted to curl up in the darkness and lick his wounds alone.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“…”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
While in her sleepwalking state, Moya had been observing the other side with her peripheral vision.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
She had only clearly heard half of Aide’s persuasion.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
As for the threats Aide whispered into the Fake Lord’s ear, she didn’t catch any of them.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
But Moya could tell from the Fake Lord’s expression that Aide had probably not said anything good.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Turning her gaze to the beggar girl, who was still excitedly expressing her faith to Moya, Moya couldn’t help but bite her lip secretly.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
The beggar girl—
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Before the body swap, her original soul was the Fake Lord, whom both Moya and Aide knew well.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Both Moya and Aide knew this.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
But if you looked at the Fake Lord’s image as the beggar girl, then many of the Fake Lord’s slightly immature and occasionally emotional behaviors made sense.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Looking at the beggar girl’s face, which could only be described as childish, Moya felt a faint reluctance, and beneath that, a surging unease.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
A child like this, with a fierce streak in their soul and a mind not yet mature, might give up due to Aide’s persuasion.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
But this was a choice between two completely different lives from now on.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Would the Fake Lord allow others to control his life?
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Guessing from the beggar girl’s physical body, Moya roughly estimated that the Fake Lord’s original age was around the rebellious stage.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Maybe she should talk to him.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Or…
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Moya was still softly responding to the beggar girl’s various questions about doctrine, but inside, ripples began to spread.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
The desire for her physical body to awaken surged from the bottom of her heart.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
‘Is it too late?’
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Moya hadn’t expected her physical body to wake up this quickly.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
This was the first time she had acted during the day.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
She figured it was because she usually slept in too much, making even a short nap’s quality unstable now.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“Alright, it’s getting late. I’ll take you to the palace to start the body swap.”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Just before her sleepwalking was about to end, Moya put her cloak back on, covering her angelic face, and patted the beggar girl’s head.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“Yes, Angel. I’m very happy to perform this restoration ceremony under your witness!”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Hearing Moya’s instruction, the fervent light in the beggar girl’s eyes grew even brighter, and she nodded vigorously.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
‘But I’m not happy.’
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
After waking up, Moya stared with dead fish eyes, her face clearly showing displeasure.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
However, that expression was hidden under the cloak, unnoticed by the excited beggar girl.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
‘The persuasion commission is done. Why did my sleepwalking self still plan to make an extra trip to the palace?’
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
‘Can’t she understand the beauty of leaving work early?’
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
‘Sometimes, it’s really annoying when the left brain attacks the right brain.’
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
‘But then again, if my sleepwalking self were as lazy as I am now, how would she ever work seriously when I’m sleepwalking?’
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
‘That doesn’t seem good either.’
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
‘Why are my left and right brains starting to attack each other?’
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“Angel, I’m ready! I can leave anytime!”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
On the other side, just as Moya’s thoughts began to wander aimlessly, the beggar girl had already packed her belongings enthusiastically and was waiting beside the Fake Lord, forming a stark contrast with the silent Fake Lord.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Seeing the beggar girl’s enthusiasm, Moya sighed inwardly.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
‘I can’t just tell her to her face that I want to clock out early so I won’t accompany her.’
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
‘That would be too embarrassing.’
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
‘Besides…’
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Moya turned her peripheral vision again to the gloomy-faced Fake Lord and Aide on the other side.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“…”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
‘Forget it, I’ll just reluctantly provide after-sales insurance for that guy Aide’s goodwill.’
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
—
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
On the way, Moya, with a mysterious and deliberately concealed cautious look, sidled up to Aide.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
After getting close to Aide, Moya hesitated for a while, then tentatively spoke:
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“Hey, by the way, don’t you think I was pretty just now?”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
While flying toward the palace, flapping her wings out of boredom, Moya suddenly realized something terrifying:
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
She seemed to have actively revealed her sleepwalking state in front of Aide.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
At the time, she was in a hurry to clock out and thought she’d just call out her sleepwalking self to finish the job, forgetting to kick Aide out first.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
‘Could he have already noticed something off about me?’
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“…What are you trying to say? Want to show off your achievements?”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Aide was silent for a moment, then laughed and said:
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“Don’t worry, your third commission is already done. No need to emphasize how impressive you were during the persuasion.”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
‘He really didn’t notice my abnormality?’
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Moya couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Her probing question had been carefully designed to make anyone unaware of the situation misinterpret it as her urging for the completion of the third commission.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“After all, this is technically our second meeting. Even if you don’t emphasize it, I’ll remember it well.”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Just as Moya’s expression relaxed, Aide’s casual sentence made her feathered ears tense up.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“W-What second meeting? Aide, are you getting senile?”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Moya was sweating profusely, feeling that the words she blurted out now were dry and awkward.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“Don’t we meet every day? What second meeting?”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“Sorry, I meant the second time I’ve seen you take off your cloak voluntarily. Miss Moya, you might have misunderstood.”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Seeing Moya’s panicked reaction under the cloak, Aide couldn’t help but laugh.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Since Moya didn’t want him to notice that appearance, he didn’t mind playing along with her act a little longer.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“Ahaha, so that’s it. By the way, Aide, what do you think of the Fake Lord?”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Hearing Aide’s reply, Moya gave a dry laugh and quickly leaned close to Aide’s ear, pretending to be serious as she changed the subject to business.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“What do I think? I think nothing.”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“Do you really think that Fake Lord will obediently comply?”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“So what if he does or doesn’t? If he dares to cause trouble, we’ll just lock him up in prison when the time comes.”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Aide replied nonchalantly.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“…”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Hearing Aide’s reply, Moya didn’t respond.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
She turned her gaze to the body the Fake Lord was about to swap back into—
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
The still childish beggar girl.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
‘Prison, huh.’
