“I haven’t thought of it for the time being, but don’t worry, I definitely won’t make you cross your bottom line.” Claire said solemnly, her expression serious.
“Really?” Summer frowned slightly and watched Claire alertly.
“Really.” Claire nodded. “I promise. Every person has their own limit, I also do, that’s why I understand very clearly. Attacking the limit is intolerable.”
Summer watched Claire’s burning gaze, not saying a word for a while.
“You dressed up like a boy to protect yourself and prevent a little trouble, that’s all. Now you can do whatever, because we will protect you well. Whoever looks disfavorable to you, just go up and beat them up, leave the rest for us to settle.” Claire said with a brow raised.
“Ah? Really?” Summer became happy. Although she disguised herself as a boy, her delicate and pretty appearance still caused a lot of trouble. There were some nobles who didn’t just keep girls as pets and also wanted to lay a hand on pretty boys. She made a dangerous escape each time. She hated those perverts, but she didn’t have the power to fight back. Now that she heard what Claire said, naturally she became happy.
Walter curled his lip, very speechless. Claire, that little devil, really knew how to hit their weak spot: beat with a stick, then offering a carrot, as if if they didn’t join her gang, then they would be done for. Only, he really didn’t expect this thin and weak youngster to actually be a girl. Not only that, they were actually someone from the Ai Luo family, the number one ranked thief family in the world. They dared to steal anything and they were able to steal anything. Rumors say that historically, the most outstanding thief had even stolen something from the Temple of Light after infiltrating into their main temple, and even cut off a lock of hair from the Pope! Nobody was willing to provoke this kind of terrifying family. Who knew if one day you would awake to find a part of your body gone. But it was very hard to formally become a part of the, family and required passing an extremely difficult exam.
“Really. From now on, you can return to dressing like a girl.” Claire smiled and seriously nodded as she promised. Which normal girl didn’t like beauty? Which was willing to dress themselves as incomparably sloppy?
(TL: me)
“Good, that’s what you said. You can’t force me to do what I don’t want to do.” Summer happily said. “Whenever you need me, just tell me. I will try my best for anything within my limits.”
“Deal.” Claire smiled brilliantly.
“From today on, Summer is one of us.” Claire gave everyone solemn introductions. “Summer, this is Wenmo Shui, this is Yixuan Feng, and this is my knight, Jean. May everyone please get along well from now on.”
“You’re actually a woman?” Wenmo Shui frowned as he circled around Summer and sized her up.
“Haha, very good, very good.” Yixuan Feng smiled so wide his eyes were crescent moons. So it was like this, haha, very good. It’s a woman, not a pretty boy.”
“What are you looking at?” Summer was very uncomfortable with Wenmo Shui’s gaze and said angrily, “Do you think I can’t steal all your clothes at night and make you walk out of your door naked?”
“It’s not like I’m stupid, if you steal everything, at worst, I’ll just not walk out the door.” Wenmo Shui started fighting with Summer.
“The you can choose any room from the castellan castle. After two days, we’ll leave this place. I want to go to the Sprite Forest, and on the way we’ll go through Dragon Valley. When the time comes, I’ll come up with a way to do what I agreed with you.” Claire explained to Summer.
“Alright.” Summer didn’t pay attention to Wenmo Shui anymore and turned to agree with Claire’s words.
“Oh, where did this little beauty come from?” Cliff’s voice came from the main hall, directly followed by him running in like the wind in.
“Master, this is a new person to join us, Summer Ai Luo, she…” Before Claire finished speaking, Summer called out in surprise, because Cliff, that old perverted wolf, lifted up Summer’s skirt with one swipe.
“Master!” Claire said angrily, unhappy.
“Claire, this person is really Sir Cliff?” Summer held down her skirt, and hid behind Claire with lingering fears with her head poking out to look at the vulgarly laughing perverted old wolf. She had long before heard that everything was good about Cliff except that he was very perverted, but she never would have thought he would actually make this kind of unacceptable action to a person he had just met.
Claire looked at Cliff’s vulgar smile and unhappily said, “Master, I’m warning you, you’re not allowed to make a move against Summer, or else I’ll slaughter you.”
Cliff curled his lip and didn’t speak any more.
From that point on, with Cliff around, Summer definitely wouldn’t wear a skirt any more.
Yixuan Feng and Wenmo Shui were both stupefied. This was their first time they had seen this side of Sir Cliff.
And like so, the day passed with much ruckus.
Night descended, all living
