73. Market Thugs

The middle-aged woman smiled with satisfaction at Lilian's words and then looked seriously at Lilian.

"First I want to introduce myself first, Miss may call me Tuah Ni." Said Tuah Ni.

Lilian nodded slowly. "Alright Tuah Ni. We only have a minute so please cooperate." Her speech.

"None Miss. What information do you want to know?" Tanya Tuah Ni's.

Lilian looked at Rosa for a while and looked back at Tuah Ni. "There used to be cases where some people carried explosives using carts. I wonder how the case goes." Lilian.

Tuah Ni stared at Lilian intensely. "The information that Miss wants is very dangerous, be it for Miss or myself.I must be able to make sure that someday there will be no problems for myself." Her speech.

"That's calm. If someday there will be problems, I guarantee you will always be safe." Rosa Say.

Tuah Ni nodded briefly then began to show his serious face. "The case had previously been handled by Prince Igor, according to information that could have been that the explosives were carried by outsiders and entered our kingdom. Most likely an outsider of the kingdom has illegally cooperated with one of the nobles in our kingdom. As time went on I never again heard of the continuation of the case." Tuah Ni Clearly.

Lilian frowned. "So you mean the case was never solved?" Ask curiously.

"It's not unresolved but I feel the case has been deliberately covered, the evidence until now there has been no news about the arrest of the nobleman." It is clear that Tuah Ni is back.

"Then does Tuah Ni know anyone involved in the case?" Ask Rosa.

Tuah Ni glanced to the right and left then looked at Lilian seriously. "I heard that there was one noble name involved in the case." Seriously said.

"Who?" Lilian asked impatiently.

"Marquis Gaustark." The Whisperer of Tuah Ni.

Lilian clenched her hand tightly. "Is Tuah Ni sure?" Lilian asked curiously.

Tuah Ni nodded quickly. "I once told people to spy on his residence but it was very strange there." Her speech.

Lilian frowned confusedly. "Weird why?" Ask curiously.

"As long as my people monitor his residence, they never left the residence in the slightest but strangely in the afternoon there were a lot of people who came out of the residence through the back door when before my people had never seen those people logged in." Evidently.

"It's possible that they were the Soldiers or Servants of the residence." Rosa.

"I thought at first, but my men reported that the men were wearing fine clothes made of silk." Tuah Ni Clearly.

Lilian nodded slowly. "Then what are they doing there?" Ask.

Tuah Ni sighed softly. "That's what still makes me curious. The case was finished without the culprit knowing, because the case had been closed then I also no longer find out the continuation." Evidently.

Lilian nodded softly then took something out of her innate bag. "Work with me." He said while giving a badge.

Tuah Ni took the badge and examined it. "Crown Princess?" He said while rounding his eyes.

Lilian then handed him a bag full of gold. "It's paid for your information today, but I still want you to give me more information." Her speech.

"Yes ... Your Majesty ..." Said Tuah Ni nervously.

"Be my people." Lilian said seriously.

"Is Your Majesty sure of me?" Tanya Tuah Ni was nervous.

"I'm sure, but if Tuah Ni betrays me then you will bear the risk." Said Lilian looking at him sharply.

"Well, Your Majesty, it's a great honor if I can be one of His Majesty's men. Mr. Duke Marven once saved my life, being one of his daughters is an honor for me." Said Tuah Ni.

"alright. The first step that Tuah Ni must do now is to find out information related to the case, find out what activities Mr. Marquis Gaustark did in his residence. " Say Lilian said firmly.

"Your Majesty. If I get the information then I'll call you right away." Said Tuah Ni.

"Okay, we don't have much time. We have to leave before my bodyguards find me here. I hope you get the information I need soon." Said Lilian standing up.

"I'll do it soon, Your Majesty." Said Tuah Ni firmly.

"Let's go Rosa we'll have to get back soon." Said Lilian while walking out.

"What's Rosa?" Lilian asked while frowning.

"Is His Majesty sure to give the badge to him?" Ask Rosa worried.

"You take it easy Rosa, I'm not the rash person you think I am. I'll have one of my bodyguards watch over their activities. I need to make sure they're friends or opponents first." Said Lilian while looking straight.

Rosa breathed a sigh of relief hearing Lilian's words. "Thank God, Your Majesty, I think you believe it right away." Pleased speech.

Lilian only smiled faintly hearing the remark from Rosa. After walking for a little while, Lilian stopped and made sure of the surroundings.

"What's wrong Miss?" Rosa asked confusedly.

"There are people following us." Lilian.

Rosa rounded her perfect eyes to hear Lilian's words. "WHAT? is there anyone following us?" Ask Rosa to panic.

Hearing the words of Rosa, the six men who had followed them both came out of hiding.

"It's also great that you ladies can feel our presence." He said while laughing cynically.

"What do you want?" Tanya Rosa is rising.

The six men laughed at Rosa's words. "You've entered our territory so you'll have to pay the road tax." Say one of them.

"Since when did the tax man model it like your market thugs." Rosa Say.

A man spit upon hearing the words of Rosa. "Great is your guts, little lady." He said while smiling cynically.

"Just give me Rosa's coin. We don't have to deal with people like them." Lilian.

Rosa nodded slowly then took out a bag of coins and threw them towards the six Men. "You got it and get out of here." Sardonic Rosa.

The six laughed again. "Not so fast Miss, we need to play for a while." Say wrong wrong wrong.

"You've got your wish so let us go." Said Lilian while staring intently at the six Men.

They laughed again and walked over to Lilian and Rosa. "Stop!" Rosa said furiously.

They burst out laughing again, one of them starting to hold Lilian's wrist but was brushed aside violently by Lilian. "Ever from the lowly will remain lowly." Lilian said furiously.

"YOU!!." Said one of them angrily then raised his hand to hit Lilian but Lilian managed to kick her crotch and pulled Rosa's hand to run.

Seeing one of his friends in pain, to his lima then chased after Lilian and Rosa. Soon they managed to surround the two girls.

"We have to fight Rosa." Lilian.

"How is His Majesty? They're five while we're just two." Rosa panicked.

"You don't have to negotiate anymore, play with us!" Say one of them while laughing.

One of the Men then approached Lilian before her hand reached Lilian's hand, the girl managed to land her punch on the Man's face, then Lilian kicked her stomach and hit the Man's back with her elbow.

Seeing his friend who had fallen due to Lilian, another one came forward and attacked Lilian but again Lilian managed to fend him off and dealt a blow to the man.

"Great as well you Miss." Say one of them and then come up against Lilian again.

Seeing his friends subdued by Lilian, they planned to attack Lilian simultaneously but Lilian was always nimble to avoid their attacks. Rosa did not stay still, she looked for something to wear against one of them, after she got a wood, Rosa ran to help Lilian who was already very overwhelmed against them.

Lilian's face cover was forcibly pulled by one of the Men and her upper sleeve was slightly torn off.

"Run Your Majesty." Said Rosa while hitting the men with wood.

"Can't Rosa!! I can't leave you alone." Said Lilian firmly.

The six men began to take out their weapons against Lilian and Rosa. Rosa began to ooze the viscous liquid from her arms as it always protected Lilian.
