"Look who's here, Miss. Aisha. Are you here on business for the guild again? This time you come after a long time, you know?" Bilt said while walking toward them with a genuine smile.

"No, actually I retired from the guild, and today I'm here for private business," While saying that, Aisha whispered something into the man's ears, probably telling him about Sylphy's identity as he also didn't look like recognise her.

Just as Aisha finished whispering and separate from him, Bilt eyes opened widely and he stared at Sylphy like he saw a ghost in the middle of the night.

He then pitifully bowed his head and fired off words of apology, "I am deeply sorry!!! To be ignorant of Your Highness Sylphid's identity, please forgive my rudeness, Your Highness."

"Sigh, raise your head, it's my fault for coming here so suddenly without any early notice, so you don't have to worry, you did nothing wrong," Sylphy said with a smile but Bilt didn't comply nor listen to her and continued apologising. Clearly, this guy knows his place very well and wanted to live some more years, so he of course can't just act as if nothing has happened.

Aisha, seeing that thing not going to work with soft words lightly patted Bilt shoulder and said with a rough voice, "Isn't making Princess wait for no reason more disrespectful than not recognising her?"

As Aisha said that, Bilt started and immediately trembled, stood up with an intense force, and ran off saying, "I'll immediately inform the Town Lord about her please wait a moment."

"Unm, he seems to have quite the extreme personality," Sylphy said with a giggle.

Aisha also didn't expect his sudden movements as well. While smiling wryly, she stared at the path Bilt ran away on.

Before five minutes had even passed, Bilt returned again. And while panting violently he bow to Sylphy and spoke, "Your Highness, sorry for waiting for you so long. Please let me be your guide to the Town Lord's office."

After nodding their head, Sylphy and Aisha follow Bilt and soon come to the Town Lord's office.

"Her Highness Sylphid has arrived, my lord."

Bilt opened the door and respectfully gesture for Sylphy and Aisha to go in.

"Your Highness Sylphid, welcome. I am Zamba Anaile, serving Lucas Town, Zamba said with a flirty smile and stood up from his seat, offers a couch for reception use and greeted from his name to his job.

Hehe, he seems to be quite the good statesman. At least he knows his place unlike some of the guys who become blind by their minuscule power and status and even forget who is Master and who is Servent, Sylphy thought with a smile, very satisfied with Zamba's attitude.

"Sorry for disturbing your work, I am Sylphid Augusta. By the way, I didn't disturb you by coming here without any notice or appointment right?" While sitting on the couch in Zamba's offered, Sylphy said with a smile, making Zamba very nervous.

"No, of course not, I am very happy that Your Highness, famous as the Princess Knight, has personally come to meet me. By the way, can I ask what has Your Highness come here for? Zamba asked with a smile, while handing Sylphy a glass of cold water, although he said that he is very happy seeing Sylphy but his action told everyone that in reality, he doesn't want to meet her at all.

A person from the royal family suddenly looks for him without an appointment, even if he's not guilty about anything, it does make one uneasy.

I hope she wasn't come here because of what I have done in recent years, although those things weren't worth mentioning in her eyes, but they are still enough to give me a lot of trouble if they come to light, Zamba thought nervously while wiping sweat from his forehead.

"No need to be so guarded, I'm not here for some kind of inspection or to deal with your business. Actually, it's about my marriage, my partner is from this town. For that reason, I will be going to stay in this town from now on. Today, I came here to greet you and also I have a little business with you..." Sylphy said and pause a little.

"Ohh, congratulations!!! I see, Your Highness is marrying. This is really an auspicious occasion! Your partner is from this town... Hehehe, he is Lord Claude from the Roselia Family, right? Lord Claude is indeed a worthy partner for Your Highness," Zamba said with a wide smile on his chubby face.

"No, he's not a noble. His social status is that of a commoner," Sylphy replies with a frown after hearing the name of Claude, clearly, she doesn't have a very nice impression of this man.

"Huh? A commoner who made Her Highness, famous as the Princess Knight, his own. He's really enviable. If possible, can Your Highness tell me his name? Maybe I know him?

Zamba asked respectfully, although he rarely goes out and comes in front of people in the town, but this doesn't means that he is an ignorant fool, who only knows how to play all day long, he has many people who are spread in most of the town a d provide him all the information of every important event immediately, so he knows most of the powerful and hidden people in his town, who are powerful enough to make him cry under their feet if they wanted.

"He's a hunter who lives in the back of the town, Myne, a young man who just came of age, some week ago, do you know him?" Sylphy said with interest, she really wanted to know if this Town Lord have any idea about Myne or not, after all, Myne was the one who save this town from the Orc King's invasion even though not directly but anyway he also has a little contribution in that task.

"D, did you say Myne!? Dyne and Yukino's orphan child, that Myne!?" Zamba asked with a shocked expression on his face.

"His father's name even appears here," Aisha in the background who was ignored by the Town Lord from start to end mumbles in a low voice.

But her voice didn't escape from Sylphy's sharp ears and she hurriedly asked, "What do you mean?"

As Sylphy asked, Aisha quickly told her that the Craftsman gave a similar reaction when they went to request for the drawing up of the bath.

Zamba who heard their conversation agreed while nodding his head, and said "Naturally. Myne's parents are this town's benefactors. Most of the citizens who have exceeded a certain age are thankful to them, and even now they respect them.

There are a lot of townspeople who support Myne from the shadows after all his parents are very friendly and almost everyone in the town knows them when they are alive. Also, even if many people never heard of the name Myne, if they only hear that he is Dyne's son, there will be a lot of people who will spare no effort to help him."

"Of course, I am also thankful to Dyne and Yukino. They helped me a lot back then, if I had known about their son early, I would have defiantly helped him as much as I can, at least he didn't have to very about food and clothes. So Myne is Your Highness's...

After this, the talk proceeded without a hitch. Zamba talks a lot of nonsense to impress Sylphy.

After hearing about the establishment of our Clan, and the construction of the Clan headquarters from Sylphy, Zamba gladly gave his permission with a smile, even if he wanted to deny he doesn't have enough courage to do so, otherwise maybe the next day he found a letter on his desk saying that he is no longer the lord of Lucus Town.

Not only that Xamaba also suggested to overlook the cost of the land and the profit. While saying that he can at least do such a small help to Dyne's son, as well as Your Highness, who is going to make his town more prosperous with her staying here.

Like this, Aisha and Sylphy safely completed their objective, without paying even a single coin and went back home.

"Sylphy, the one over there... Isn't it Myne?" Aisha while walking on the way to him, suddenly discovered Myne who was walking a little further from them.

"Huh? Yes, he is indeed Lord Husband but somehow, he looks weird? What happened?" Sylphy asked with a frown while looking at Myne who was walking without much focus clearly looking deep in thought.

"How do I know? Let's follow him stealthily, maybe he is in trouble, if he needs we can help him at the critical moment, In this way, Myne also wouldn't be angry that we are spying on him, Aisha suggests with a frown.

Sylphy nodded her head, and both of them start following Myne silently...
