Chapter 17
Once the people left, the clerks, Daisy, and aunt Dayana were looking at me with awed expressions .
After all, I normally did not act so domineering . They probably did not expect I was so strong .
Daisy was a bit pale due to the blood, though . Well, killing is pretty common in this world, and they were in the wrong, so my actions could at most be considered a bit excessive .
"I can't believe it, Your highness . How did you do it? Moreover, did young master Al truly mistake the fake vase for the original? How did you know that the vase he brought was the original?" A clerk asked .
"I'm simply stronger than them . As for the vase, he probably committed a mistake when he interchanged them . I'm pretty familiar with that vase, so I knew it was the original when I saw it . "
The others nodded in understating, though Daisy and aunt Dayana seemed a bit doubtful .
Of course, that is a lie . Actually, what happened was that I manipulated space to interchange the fake vase for the original inside Al's home . Nobody here could detect when I interchanged them, so everybody thought that Al mistook the vases .
Even Al, when he returns home and realizes that the fake is where he left the original, he will think that he did a mistake .
But although I resolved the situation this time, I could not help but frown deeply . It looks like my standing between the nobles is even worse than I thought after yesterday's farse . After all, two people dared to act against me in just one day .
It looks like I have to do something . After all, I don't like it when others bother me .
The reason because I hid my strength until now was to avoid being embroiled in trouble, but if I cannot avoid the troubles even after I hid my strength, then I have to reconsider if hiding my strength is the best choice .
The clerks quickly began to organize everything once the commotion ended . Daisy stayed to help them and I returned to the third floor together with aunt Dayana .
When we reached the third floor, the expression of aunt Dayana turned grave .
"It looks like your situation is worse than I thought . "
I nodded in agreement . "You are right . I did not expect something like this either . "
"… Why don't you simply renounce to the Quintin surname? With the money you got through your business, I'm sure you and your sister can live a relaxed life even if you are not a prince . "
"Things are not so simple . " I shook my head . "I'm sure that my stepmother will not allow any danger towards her son's throne . If I renounce to the Quintin surname, it's simply gifting my head to her . "
My aunt fell silent . She tried to think about something, but nothing came to her mind .
"Don't worry about it, aunt . I already had a plan . "
"Are you sure?" She asked worriedly .
