A few weeks later....

"Miss, what really happened to you and Master Duke? Didn't you guys get close? Then why are you back away now?" elise makes Cassandra careless.

"I've told you several times that there's nothing between us" Cassandra replied.

Elise stood up straight from her seat. "But it's been almost a month you guys haven't spoken, ma'am! Something must have happened! Please, madam, don't hide everything yourself, "persuade Elise with the water that is starting to weaken.

Cassandra seemed to fold her lips for a moment, but soon a smile came back to decorate her.

"Elise. What makes you think I'm hiding something?"

"I've known you for a long time, ma'am. When you always show a smile like that, I know that you must be hiding something" Elise said with a frown created between her eyebrows.

"You don't have to worry about me. Because I really don't hide anything" Cassandra said.

Harsh breathing again detached from Elise, because he was caught off guard with his employer who still did not want to be honest.

"Alright, Mistress. I won't ask anymore" he said.

A soft smile was imprinted on the beautiful face of the brown-blossomed woman. He likes to hide his feelings, rather than tell them and whine to others.

He wanted to solve his own problems, and he did not want to share the grief that befell him to others.

"Oh, I'm so bored. What am I supposed to do?" he murmured as he looked at the blue sky that spread.

Somehow the sky blue became his favorite color when he arrived in this world.

Cassandra turned her head, and thought about what she should do to get rid of her boredom.

The pain was still there, alighting and gnawing at his heart. But he didn't want to think too much about it.

And also, with her having barely a month of not passing by or talking to the man, made their distance return far.

"Elise, do you know of a nice place?" cassandra looked at the old woman.

Elise seemed to be thinking. "Funny place...?" his murmur was chin-backed.

"Actually this isn't a fun place, but at least it can be to pass the time."

"What place?"

"Market, Madam."

"You think the market is a fun place?" ask Cassandra doesn't believe it.

"Of course, Madam. In the market we can buy foods that we like along with jewelry or accessories," said Elise sparkling.

Cassandra looked like she was putting on a lazy face. Another with a very excited Elise.

"And also, the market is the place where my husband and I met, kya!!"

The old woman seemed to be pulling a red hue out of her cheek. With both palms against my own cheeks due to the shame that struck.

"Haha..," Cassandra's laughter was bland. He was not interested in a market full of people.

"Why does it seem like I'm tired now, I'm going to my room dul--"

"Let's go to the market, ma'am!" take Elise while pulling Cassandra's arm and not letting go.

"Ehm. I'm tired, I want an-"

"Come Madam! Didn't you say you were bored? I assure you, you will not be bored if you go to the market. I'll treat you!" the exclamation is irrefutable.

"There is a servant who treats his master?" inner Cassandra.

"Oh, my God, be patient, Elise!"

Not yet had the woman finish her sentence, Elise directly dragged him impatiently.

Cassandra grumbled, but Elise was undaunted. The old woman is like a mother who forces her daughter to buy beautiful jewelry and dresses to beautify herself.

Rarely was the relationship between the employer and the servant as familiar as they were.

...🥀...

The boisterous atmosphere. The loud and shrill voice of the merchant invited the buyers to give their merchandise.

Men and women gather in the same place. There was even someone who made a paid entertainment show with one bronze coin.

Millions of footprints have been created at the site, although they are not visible at all.

"So where are you taking me?" cassandra asked because Elise kept taking her for a walk around this place, but didn't know where she wanted to go.

"How about we go there, ma'am?" point Elise towards the bakery.

Cassandra seemed to be fondling for a moment, her eyes were busy wandering to and fro.

After a while, the net was locked on one store that attracted his attention and interest.

"We better get there" he said, and Elise followed the brown woman's index finger.

"Fruit shop? Don't we have a lot of fruit-"

Without further ado, Cassandra pulls Elise's arm and takes her where she wants to be.

Cassandra put her index finger right on her chin thinking what fruit she should buy.

There were plenty of fresh fruits imprinted before him, but of the many fruits, only one was always his favorite.

"How about we just buy strawberries, ma'am? Strawberries are becoming a well-known fruit today" Elise said.

"No need. I'll just buy this orange" he replied and then took the oranges.

Elise's eyes could not help but look at her employer who bought a lot of citrus fruits.

"Mrs... Shall we buy other fruits...?" elise asked hesitantly to see Cassandra unceasingly picking up one by one the orange and tossing it into the basket the woman had hung on her four fingers.

"If you want anything else, go ahead. I'm just going to eat this fruit" Cassandra said, handing over some bronze coins to the seller.

Elise was speechless. Looks like her employer's the citrus maniac.

"Here, take as much as you want," Cassandra offered her basket.

"Thank you, Madam." Elise could only accept after that thank you.

They also went back for a walk around the market. Cassandra looks cool peeling and eating orange fruit with eyes that continue to run to and fro.

But strangely enough, the woman did not throw away the skin of the fruit that was considered as garbage.

Elise was astonished. "Why don't you throw away the skin, ma'am?"

"Rather than being thrown away, I'd rather use it when I take a shower" she said.

Elise seemed to sigh, the habit of her master this one is really strange and make head bobbles.

Long enough they go around, look around, and buy things they want to want.

"Madamie, it's getting colder and darker, should we go home?" tanya Elise replied nod by the interlocutor.

They also stepped to go home, because the distance between their house and this market is not far, so they went home only with a step.

But it is unexpected, it turns out that there is someone despicable who pulled a bag containing the property of an old woman who was carrying her groceries.

The figure was very fast running, so it made the woman suddenly scream. "Thieves!!"

Then, the two women who stood by these masters turned their heads and were shocked.

Not only the two of them, but some of the people there were just as shocked.

"Elise, you wait here. Take care of my citrus fruits" Cassandra quickly put her basket in Elise's grasp.

"Wait, where are you going, ma'am?!" sela Elise wonder.

"Doing a favor." Like the wind, the woman darted running with her thin legs chasing the thief who had been shouted.

"Mrs!! Madam!! Jesus!!"

...🥀...

Cassandra Pov's

I ran as fast as I could, chasing after an immoral human who could only steal like the one I was chasing!

He was facing back, it seemed like he was aware of my being chasing after him.

But I don't care, I hate people like him so much, I have to catch him!

And all of a sudden he disappeared, I was confused. Where's she?

This place was also dark, and the cold pierced the skin. Until I had not yet turned around, a dagger was stuck in my neck.

"I guess who's after my sister, turns out to be just a woman," sneered this figure behind me.

As he drew the distance between the dagger and my neck, I had to turn my head.

And there appeared another figure who turned out to be someone I was chasing earlier while twirling the bag of the old woman who was robbed.

"It's exhausting me, what should we do to him, brother?"

"Two to one? You coward," I sneered as I scolded.

"Don't act strong, you weak woman!" sergeant.

Oh, is he emotional?

"Strong-looking? Aren't you guys who talk a lot but beat one woman should both symbolize that you're just acting strong?" my fancied him while smiling in disdain.

"Damn it!" He finally got emotional and turned my back and tried to slap me.

I closed my eyes tightly when the kite of the hand was about to hit me on the cheek.

"Sadly, a woman who can only act arrogant makes me so fed up!" He began to grip my face as he looked at me.

"Hm... If you look around, it turns out that you are very beautiful, want to have fun with us?"

I thought that line would come from a jerk like you. It's time to launch my action!

"Peter! Shut your mouth!"

"Good!" The man who snatched the old lady's bag shut his mouth.

"It's not your mouth that's closed, stupid!" yell at the other guy.

Jesus, stupid. I wanted to laugh but I tried to hold it to my smooth acting.

"K-please..let me go." I cried with tears that began to flow with my hands that began to creep into my dress pocket slowly and silently.

"God! Women are women! Weak!" He brought his face closer to me, and it turned out that the timing was fitting.

A sneaky smile was immediately painted on my face. "Stupid."

"Ap-argh! My eyes!"

Before going out with Elise and chasing after this man, I had prepared a bottle filled with mixed water with pepper and chili powder.

Come on, I can't possibly be that stupid to chase after her without preparing for protection first.

As he was busy groaning in pain, I quickly kicked his future with my hanker which had a strength that could be said to be quite strong.

My hands are weak, but my feet are not. Do you guys remember that I was the former relay winner when I was in school?

At that moment he fell down, holding onto his future. I took the dagger that had been in his grasp, then looked down at the other man.

"Want to have the same fate?" threaten me to spin that dagger in my hand.

"Ma...."

He was about to say something, and I happily waited for him.

"I'm sorry, Boss!!" she screamed while prostrating to me.

Wait wait, what does this mean? The boss?  Shouldn't I repay my actions to his friend?

"We are just a needy commoner, we steal for wanting to feed our younger brothers, forgive us Boss!"

I was shocked, even very, very shocked, it was completely beyond my expectations.

Even the man I kicked his future for was prostrating on me.

"Please don't report us. We will obey your will, you are very strong and wise, Boss!"

I don't know why I became unbearable, but I can't let my guard down.

"Then hand over all your weapons and bags" I said.

Without a doubt, they let it all out making me come back shocked.

Daggers, bags, and other items were now lying on the ground.

I just took the dagger and the bag that belonged to the old lady earlier. Then I crouched down in front of those who were still prostrating to me, and put two gold pieces right in front of them.

They seemed to be shaking their heads and were surprised to see the golden pieces.

"Is this enough to feed your brothers?" soft ask. I did not forget to smile and paint them.

Their eyes glazed over the haru, making my heart warm to help the troubled.

I thought they were selfish humans who could take and not think about the fate of others, but it turned out that they were forced to do so, just to feed their younger siblings.

"Thank you. Thank you very much, Boss...!" They nodded their heads several times as a sign of gratitude.

"Already, stand! You don't have to keep kowtowing like that to me" I interrupted.

"I'm sorry we originally intended to harm you, boss! From now on, we will obey your orders!" yells.

"Aish! I told you to stand up!" Furious, I pulled both of their arms until they stood up.

"You don't need to thank me, because it's my job to help others" I said.

"Boss...! Huwa boss you're so kind!" whine them while hugging each other.

"Oh my brother, Peter. Is this figure standing before us an Angel?" the dramatic words made me hold my laughter.

"Oh, my brother, Patrick. Actually, it's lucky that we can meet a Goddess like the Boss!"

"The boss is an angel!" sela Patrick's.

"No, Boss is a Goddess!" peter won't lose.

"You're against me, let's fight me!"

"Hey, who's afraid!"

"Admudu!" they were in pain because I pulled their ears together to be still.

"That's enough! I am neither an Angel nor a Goddess, I am just a human like you! Understood?!" my lerai is pulling both of their ears.

"Aw aw aw aw aw, yes Our boss understands!"

I took off their ears and folded my hands together. "So, you said you'd obey all my requests, right?"

"Yes, Boss! We'll fulfill the Boss' request, anything!" exclaim them.

"Then can you take me back to where I was?"

"of course. Boss wants to ride what? We're carrying, or our ox cart?"

"Hey there's no way I'm asking you to carry me! That-" I just realized with his next sentence. "Wait, what did you say the train was?" many ensure.

"Our cow train, boss. It!" point it behind me and I look straight at it.

I just realized there was a train behind me.

"All right, you take me, "I order.

"Ready, then let's go up, Boss!' shouts bring.

But I kept quiet because something was bothering me.

"What's up, Boss? Don't you want to go home?" peter was confused about me.

"That's..," raguku. "You're not gonna kidnap me, are you?" many ensure.

Because of the danger that if he kidnaps me in a strange place, I might get lost later.

They were holding their stomachs. "Haha! Jesus, Boss! You've helped us, we couldn't have harmed you!" it makes me smile bad.

"Although we are thieves, we are human. We have a heart, Boss."
