I have only passed by Imperial City before, but walking on the streets of Imperial City is my first time.

Taking a look around, the yellow-robed guards and some suspicious-looking yellow-robed people stand out among the white-robed ones.

It seems like the king has caused some trouble recently, otherwise why would the situation be like this?

And he even dared to target Yaling, he must be feeling very lucky.

Well, since the Magic Imperial City came all the way to stop me from doing something reckless, I'll solve the problem in a more discreet and harmonious way.

Let me think, based on the nature of a typical story, the first step is to gather information from the tavern owner, and then if I want to infiltrate the palace, I need to receive a mission from the so-called princess.

Hmm...

In any case, I should accept all the missions now and then go gather information, so I won't need to collect information again.

I can see the emblem of the Mercenary Guild, a sword and shield, hanging at the top of a nearby building from a distance. I quickly walked towards it along the street.

The shouting of the vendors in any city is extremely loud, the method to deal with those who try to sell goods is to push them away when they approach.

Using this method, I crossed the crowded street in less than three minutes and arrived at the entrance of the Mercenary Guild.

"I never thought I would have the chance to come to this place, and even have the opportunity to use this identity."

I looked helplessly at my mercenary badge and then entered the hall of the guild.

Although this is a small kingdom, the scale of the mercenary guild here is not inferior to what I've seen before.

After looking around the hall, I walked towards the notice board next to it that was filled with tasks.

Search for a lost cat

Reward: 100 silver coins

Search for a lost ring

Reward: 70 silver coins

Hey hey hey, the cat is worth more than the ring, why does this phenomenon seem so familiar to me? I should consider becoming a cat woman.

Eliminate the strange monsters in the east forest

Reward: 300 silver coins

Hunt 30 wind wolves

Reward: 10 gold coins

These two tasks are quite ordinary... Speaking of which, these are low-level tasks, if I followed the mercenary path to level up, I should have started here and continuously completed tasks.

Now that I think about it, we completely took the wrong path, what a tragedy.

No wonder I don't feel any RPG vibes, it's because I am too close to real life and forgot to accept a lot of tasks to level up.

However...

New gameplay is more interesting, otherwise just doing tasks all the time would easily get boring.

But these are not the main points, and that small amount of money is not as profitable as robbing a bank... No, I mean robbing the rich to help the poor once and earn more.

After scanning the entire notice board, I finally found the mission supposedly published by the princess at the very top.

Are you kidding me? Putting it up there, are you mocking my height?

Search for Princess Silly's lost doll

Find the brown cloth doll hanging on the chest of the princess with a small wooden sign from the Otto Forest, made by the Fides Kingdom.

After finding it, please bring proof to the palace.

Reward: 1000 gold coins

................

This...

Princess, are you joking with me?

Why are you looking for me?

Are you trying to flirt with me or with the Mercenary Guild using such outdated methods?

Isn't this the row on the left that reads vertically, looking for me?

But the question is...

What special reason does this guy have for finding me, or does he want to capture me?

If this is the king's plan, then I'm in big trouble.

It's really troublesome, not even giving me a hint, it's really worrying.

However, if this problem falls on me, then it's not a big problem.

With a smile, after accepting a mission from the bulletin board to eliminate the monsters in the surrounding forest, I left the mercenary guild.

Except, instead of going in the direction of the city gate from the guild, I turned around and entered a street next to it, then used Shadow Stealth to quickly pass through several streets and rush to the shadows in the corner of the palace's outer wall.

Then I leaped into the thick branches and leaves of a nearby tree.

"Hmm... princess... princess... what was the princess called?"

Recalling the contents of the mission, I started looking for someone named "Silie" in the palace.

After searching for a long time, I finally found Silie Chelfa at the edge of the right wing of the palace.

Really, what are you doing in such a high place in the middle of the day?

Shaking my head helplessly, confirming the positions of the guards around, I once again used Shadow Stealth, jumping from one shadow to another, quickly climbing to the top of the palace.

Then I ran to the balcony, grabbed the eaves and flipped over, landing at where Princess Silie was.

As soon as I landed, I saw Princess Silie leaning on the desk writing something. With her golden curly hair tied back with a ribbon, she was wearing a red silk nightgown. Did she just wake up?

Princess, are you a homebody? It's already afternoon, why do you still look like you just got up in the early morning?

"Ah..."

When she saw me appear, she was about to scream, but I quickly rushed over, covering her mouth.

Then I quickly leaned down and said to her:

"I'm Lin Fir. I heard you were looking for me. What's the matter?"

After hearing what I said, she immediately stopped struggling, stared at me for a while, and slowly pushed my hand away.

"You... you are Lin Fir?"

"Yeah, but for special reasons, I had to disguise myself to get in."

"Well, killing the national minister and all that. It's just as Yaling sister said, a strange person."

"Haha..."

"I know you were framed, Yaling sister told me. But that idiot of a king has always been obsessed with ultimate power. I can't stand it anymore."

The princess said dismissively, then pushed aside the things on the table and turned to the door, locking it.

"Well, that idiot is your father."

"So what! Treating poor Yaling sister like this, not caring about state affairs, messing around with those strange things underground all the time. Should a king be so irresponsible?"

"...That's true."

Even their own child despises him. How terrible of a person can he be?

"Actually, the missions from the mercenary guild were also sent out to find you. Yaling sister said she believes you will find a way to come, as long as you leave clues in the city, you will find it. Because you have been saving her since childhood, even though I have no impression of you at all. Yaling sister, who has always been with me, why does she always think of you?"

Damn it, dear World, what memories did you add to her brain?! Look, you didn't even edit it properly, and now there's a mistake, right?

"Well, since you mentioned it, what's the deal with the fiancée?"

"That bastard of a king wanted to obtain the ability to learn the Ice Knight skills from Yaling sister through something in the relics, so he forced my brother to marry her."

"Is that so..."

Since it was a forced marriage, let's spare the prince's life.

"Looking at you relieved, it's no wonder Yaling sister trusts you so much."

Princess Silly seemed quite satisfied, nodding her head.

"Hey hey hey, kid, what are you saying?"

"I'm not a kid, I'm already 15 years old!"

"Alright, alright... let's not talk about that. What's next is our action plan. Do you have any suggestions?"

"None."

The princess proudly and confidently replied.

...

"Can you not say such arrogant things?"

"Because Yaling sister said you will definitely come up with an exaggerated but effective way to solve the problem, so it's no problem."

Where does this confidence come from... Oh well, it doesn't matter.

I rested my chin on my hand and thought for a moment, then looked at the pile of official documents on the table.

After a moment, I looked at Princess Silly.

"Do you and your brother have the determination to become queen or king?"
